For decades, the characters of the Super Mario Bros. franchise have been loved by fans. Their quirky abilities, hilarious backstory and unusual worlds have endeared players, solidifying a place in the annals of video game history forever. So it only makes sense that the Super Mario Bros. legacy should burst into life in 3D with the power of next-generation consoles. Experience the first multiplayer 3D Mario game for the Nintendo Wii U console and dive back into the familiar world with the characters you love, but with an array of new features and added twists.Invite your friends over to work together in the Super Mario Bros. universe or compete for the crown alone. Play as Mario, Luigi, Princess Peach or Toad, and utilize each character's unique abilities and play styles that help you get ahead. Princess Peach, of course, gracefully glides over gaps, while Luigi brings back his trademark extra-high jump. Keep your enemies guessing with the new cat transformation that lets you run on all fours, pounce on foes, attack in midair and use your claws to scamper up walls and goal poles. Each aspect of the colorful 3D environments will have you feeling a combination of nostalgia and excitement, while new obstacles and contraptions, like transparent pipes and vertical conveyor belts, add new puzzle elements to keep you on the edge of your seat. Harness the power of the Wii U GamePad controller's touch screen to search for hidden blocks and freeze enemies in place. Get ready to enjoy the success of a classic in a totally new and thrilling way.

Mario for WiiU!

Nintendo, you make great Mario games in 3D.
I want full 360 degree zoom in/out camera control.
Make it an option, its very easy.
You program games with a smart camera, but you take this feature away.
Some players want to play with a camera that isn't zoomed out 50 ft from my character. I like to see the game's detail.
SuperMario64 had a great camera.
Sunshine had the camera i speak of but it wouldn't zoom in far enough.
SuperMarioGalaxy1&2 had cameras that were terrible, with no control option.
Once again, you have taken camera control away from the player.
Please bring it back!

The wind blows freely down the corridor of what was once a canyon of skyscrapers populated by million-dollar businesses, employees in suits and citizens on cell phones. A constant stream of yellow taxi cabs used to flow steadily down the asphalt streets. Now, Mother Nature has reclaimed what was hers, and vegetation engulfs the massive cities in patches. A modern plague outsmarted our civilized medicine, so now our cities now lie abandoned, and what's left of the American population is forced to do whatever it takes to survive. Neighbors who were friends, now kill each other for a loaf of bread — or a rifle — whatever they can get their hands on to help them live another day. In this decimated democracy, two individuals join up to work together in order and attempt the dangerous journey across the country. Will these two be able to survive the trek — or will they be The Last of Us?Developed by Naughty Dog, the creators of the popular Uncharted franchise, comes The Last of Us. Carefully blending elements of survival and action, The Last of Us defines a genre by placing you in the heart of the adventure to outlast a modern plague on your journey across the decimated United States. Playing as Joel, a survivor, and Ellie, a teenage girl who is much braver and wiser than her age would suggest, you must work together to fend off dangerous foes, terrifying enemies and other survivors who will do anything to save themselves. Every minute of every hour of every day is a struggle to outlive the next person you encounter — do you have the mental and physical strength to make it?

Naughty Dog makes amazing games.
This game is their attempt at survival horror with elements of uncharted.
If you like survival horror, then you will enjoy this game.
If you like uncharted, you will be disappointed.
NaughtyDog split the teams to make uncharted 3 and last of us and the quality shows in both games, quality that was downgraded. Look at Uncharted1&2 and both were amazing, uncharted3 and last of us not so much.
TombRaider did a great job of being a true "uncharted3" sequel game.
Let's hope NaughtyDog does Uncharted4 for PS4 and does it proper! Tomb Raider has done a great job of filling in until then.

You may be a maverick on your local golf course — but how will you stack up against the global competition when the action of the course appears at your fingertips in an all-new way? Test the wind, assess the hills and valleys and keep your eye on the flag — the triumphs and defeats of the fairway are more realistic than ever as the wildest, most thrilling golfing franchise sinks into the innovative, touch-controlled PlayStation Vita for the first time. Faced with tons of players on the course, environmental obstacles and a swinging system that picks up your every talent — and flaw — can you prove yourself to be a true Hot Shot?Tee up for nonstop competition against friends and bitter rivals in Hot Shots Golf — the one golf club that never closes. Drawing you deeper than ever into the social climate of the green, Hot Shots keeps you connected to your fellow swingers 24/7 with opportunities for both synchronous and asynchronous competitions any time of the day or night. Sometimes you like to be on the course solo, but in LiveArea, more is the merrier, as you gather up to 50 players on one hole for the most outlandish golf round you've ever seen.

Prepare for the hole ahead by tapping into the unique front and back touch panel controls to get the low-down on the upcoming challenges. When you tee up, be sure that you swing with care, as the new shot system with evolved swing mechanics accurately translates your hit, slice or duff for a realistic result on the fairway.

Los Santos: a sprawling sun-soaked metropolis full of self-help gurus, starlets and fading celebrities, once the envy of the Western world, now struggling to stay afloat in an era of economic uncertainty and cheap reality TV. Amidst the turmoil, three very different criminals plot their own chances of survival and success: Franklin, a former street gangster, now looking for real opportunities and serious money; Michael, a professional ex-con whose retirement is a lot less rosy than he hoped it would be; and Trevor, a violent maniac driven by the chance of a cheap high and the next big score. Running out of options, the crew risks everything in a series of daring and dangerous heists that could set them up for life.Grand Theft Auto V is the largest and most ambitious game Rockstar Games has yet created and takes full advantage of every ounce of processing power available in the current generation of consoles. In order to provide the best possible experience for such a massive and detailed world, the game will have installation requirements on the Xbox 360. Grand Theft Auto V will ship on two discs; Disc 1 will be used for a one-time mandatory install and Disc 2 will be used to play the game. After the install, players will be able to enjoy both Grand Theft Auto V and Grand Theft Auto Online without any need to switch discs. This initial install will require an Xbox 360 hard drive or an external 16GB USB flash drive (sold separately) with at least 8GB of free space. If using a USB flash drive, it must be at least USB 2.0 with a minimum 15mb/s read speed and formatted for Xbox 360 use. A new USB flash drive is recommended to ensure optimal performance.

This action game set in the Metal Gear universe is a great title by Platinum games Japan.
They are famous for making many games, one of which is Bayonetta.
Raiden is a cyborg ninja in this game and the gameplay, graphics, are excellent!

Great Portable System

Posted by: AM2Model3
from Clarinda, IA
I purchased the 3DS XL blue system in Aug. 2012 to upgrade from my launch blue 3DS regular.
The larger screen is the biggest reason, now you can truly enjoy your games on the 4.2 inch screen vs the super tiny 3.5 of the original.
Nintendo included a larger battery to last for a longer game time as well.
The system 3D is more impressive and easier to view with the larger screen, which can be turned off as well.
System comes with a 4GB SD card vs the 2GB SD of the original. You can upgrade to a larger SD card as well.
I play this system when I"m traveling and have had a great time with it!
Code of Princess is a great game!!

Great game, I finished all of World 1.
Indeed, Nintendo has allowed "some" camera control. It is limited.
I will commend Nintendo for making the effort, but it is far from ideal. I want 360, full XYZ zoom in/out pan, it is extremely simple.
Nintendo provides limited rotation and view in/out, there are enough good camera angles, but still much of the beauty of the game can't be seen or experienced.
