I know, I have always wanted to play it.
It's one of the only 2D Mario's I have beaten.
Halo comparison shot:
How 3DS does Gamboy emulation.
Hmm game is very basic but what else should I expect.

Agnates, maybe you know. Why is there a difference (in this case 5GB) in terms of install footprint between the disc and digital versions? Is this normal in games these days?
No clue, I've been all digital on PC ages now. I don't see a reason for it. I would maybe think the dd version has to be larger even, maybe to include cut scenes and other such shit that you could just as well stream off the disc with no issues otherwise (if the DRM requires it to be in the drive anyway).
Omg, what in the fucking fuck, I just checked stores here and they sell the 3DS for 269 euros, what the hell? God forbid they lower their profit margins to get a sensible pricing here with the new VAT. Nope, they have to actually increase it further? What the hell, Nintendo of Greece, fucking Nortec fucks.
I'm so importing when I get a new system (I'm sure Vita will have similarly shitty pricing).

Wow, no directx 9 in minimum. I thought it'd take another 10 years to get to that.
Becuase it was unrated for awhile giving me the faintest of hopes that it would be!
BF 3 Xbox 360 !! So not upgrading my PC ...
That's incredible. Yeah uncompacted cut scenes is probably what the extra giggage is about.

European MS Dude:
"Adding that Kinect and social features have potential for new experiences, Lewis said he expected that we’ll soon see a Kinect game shift ten million units.
“I think with 55 million Xboxes and counting, you’re quite quickly going to get to an install base where that kind of attach possibility is very real. So I think yes, certainly that’s true on the core platform now but it will also be true for a Kinect game.”
Of the dearth of promising new franchises as opposed to sequels, Lewis said current series were good enough for it not to matter.
“I think people are very discerning, and we know that the bar has to continue to be raised in terms of the depth and quality of what comes in the next version of Halo,” he offered as an example.
I'm back, what did I miss?
Anything good in the Ubisoft and Sony conferences?
What's on for today?
Wow Battlefield 3 is a bit much in the tech area, no? I thought Witcher 2 was demanding....
Bruins won 8 to 1 last night. Now why couldn't they do that in the 1st 2 games?!
Nintendo conference at noontime! New Nintendo console!!! New Games!!!!
W00T!!!!
I'll always be here for ya, pantless and shirtless, just in my boxers.
As far as I know it's coming to all platforms so it would be HD on 360/ps3
I meant what did I miss in E3 news
Damnit where can I find the sony conference video?
I have a feeling it will be Mario Kart HD, Smash Bros HD and Bear will not be happy
Endless Ocean 3 on cafe will make me cream my fucking pants.
Aspro, muchos gracias for your updates and humour in the headlines, I LOLed at the Kinect subline.
Hey that story says Ancel isn't doing BGE2 for this gen because of Rayman Origins!!!! Someone needs to kick his door down and put a gun to his head. WTF is this about? Delay BGE2 for a 2D rayman game? Pfft!
Just saw the Tintin trailer, it looked about as good as Indiana Jones Staff of kings.
Question: Do you guys know what Sods Law is?
I am a victim of it right now, E3 and my internet connection drops to 0.20 mbs or less.
It has to happen just when E3 starts of course....

Infamous 2 buyers, get home and pop in the disc then go do shit. You have a 120 MB update for "addition content" and then a 2.5 G install.
