Can someone tell me about these Kirby games? KDL3 is a regular Kirby game, Super Star is a bunch of different games, and Dream Course is...golf? Are they all actually worthwhile?

Kirby Super Star is like a regular Kirby game broken up into multiple separate Kirby games. I think they're all worth it but Super Star if you have to choose.

There's also an improved version of Super Star on the DS.

Has Mario Kart 7 ever gone on some kind of discount or sale? I'm really considering picking it up to 1) tide me over til 8, and 2) just have a portable mario kart, but if there's a possibility of getting it cheaper I'll wait.

The closest thing is Target doing a buy 2 games get one 1 free thing right now.

Super Mario Kart is a racing game focused on mechanics, Mario Kart 8 is focused on spectacle and a more party setting, if that makes sense. They're 2 games I love a lot for completely different reasons.

How so? 8 has pretty much the same mechanics even down to the coin collecting.

Ha, for $12 I might actually buy that dumb Pac Man WiiU game, why not. Also how is the Star Fox port? What does it have in terms of new content and modes if anything?

You can save between missions, optional tilt controls, a new score mode and the graphics are way better. The voice acting is new too but it keeps the spirit of the original.

Is Star Fox worth it at $30? I played the everloving poo poo out of that game on the N64, which is a point both for and against spending $30 to do it again.

You can find a physical copy for $20 on Groupon sometimes. They seem to offer it every other week. Check clearance sections of stores too. Toys R Us was selling them for $12 a month or two ago.

Kind of a weird question, but does anyone know if Super Mario Advance 2 has the terrible lag that the normal SNES version has? I'm down to muscle memory with that game and the lag throws me off and makes it very unenjoyable. I know it's not my TV because it's on the gamepad also. I'd hate to spend $8 on another unplayable version, but I really want to accessible for off screen play!

What slowdown? Is there something wrong with the Wii U version?

Concentration Training is actually awesome and worth looking at. It's challenges are mind melting and it has a ton of bonus games. It's also the only of these "brain training" games that I've played that I've actually felt some benefit from.

Even though I've owned a Wii U for over a year, I never looked into the Nintendo Club until recently. I only linked my console last night. It looks like some of my downloaded games should have surveys attached, but they aren't showing up on the Nintendo Club site. Do I need to do anything for them to show up, like launch those games? Do I just wait a couple of days? Or do surveys only show up for future digital purchases?

They unfortunately only show up if the the system was linked to CN before download.

If you care about 3D effects and want a game that's just a bit worse then 3D World then yes. I still think 3D World has the best 3D on the 3DS.

I liked Sticker Star more then most here but it's still the worst of the Paper Mario games and it's cheap to find. KI: U is an amazing game with a lot of replay value and it's physical version is out of print.

DKR is a great choice. It's got a lower frame rate then the Wii version but it doesn't have waggle controls and has some extra levels.

I loved the first mighty switch force when it came out on 3ds, and then after the second one came out I drunkenly downloaded the same one again on wii u by mistake - thinking hyper drive was the second one. Now I will be downloading the real second one! And some megadrive 3D games!

Hyper Drive has different graphics and more content then the first on 3DS so you didn't completely waste your money. I'm really digging it so far.

Between all the sales and Club Nintendo prizes, I now have way too many games to play now. Thanks Nintendo.:argh:
