The boost the 3ds needed
on November 15, 2011

This is the greatest 3DS title to hit shelves since Ocarina of Time. The developers did a fantastic job of showing off just what the 3DS is capable of doing and it looks FANTASTIC. The music is great and as a long-time gamer I appreciate the retro style they took with this one.
It's a little more linear and has aspects of the newer mario games and great bits from the first hits like the Tanooki suit, the air ships and even some of my favorite tracks from the earlier games.
Sure the gameplay is a bit on the easy side, but it IS a kid-oriented game after all. This game is definitely worth adding to your collection of you own a 3DS and will be the first of many major titles for the system. I look forward to the new Mario Kart and Paper Mario as well as Kid Icharus and a few other gems!
What's great about it: Beautiful 3D environments and gameplay.
What's not so great: They didn't release this game when the 3DS first came out.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Do you live and breathe the intense competition, the fierce challenge and the immersive world of the games on your screen? Do you constantly strive for endurance, perfection and longevity? Do you bemoan the limitations that keep you down and drain your energy? Sometimes, your greatest assets can become your biggest challenges as you play — when your sharp-shooting, fast-acting eyes begin to tire after helping steer you through level after level, it holds you back from continuing on the path you fought so hard to forge. You may experience eye fatigue, dry eyes, irritation or even headaches, but the outcome is the same — your endurance lags and you decide it's time to call it quits. You don't have to settle for limitations anymore — you can enter the future of advanced gaming, where tired is just a five-letter word.When you slip into Gunnar Gaming Eyewear, you'll slip into comfort and an exciting gaming experience. As the official eyewear of Major League Gaming, the MLG Phantom gives you the visual edge you need by reducing glare, sharpening details, improving focus and minimizing eye fatigue. Featuring a proprietary lens material in an advanced geometry, this eyewear targets near to intermediate distance viewing to protect your eyes and enhance your visual experience during long gaming sessions. The curved lenses deliver the second largest lens coverage in the e-SPORT series and limit air currents near the eye to reduce dry and irritated eyes. The geometry of the lenses supports your eye's natural focusing power for enhanced details and clearer vision. The idea of stopping a game won't come into your mind until you're ready.

These glasses are the real deal.

I was a skeptic at first. I wanted to just try these out and return them if I didn't like them, but that changed and I couldn't be happier I got these!
I'm a huge gamer. In fact, I've just stepped away from Modern Warfare 3 after playing it nearly non-stop since midnight release and I will say this...these glasses are probably the greatest thing to happen to my gaming lifestyle since 3d graphics.
I have no strain on my eyes when playing or even using my computer. The clarity can easily be seen. My mind was blown when I saw a projector feed of CoD 3 being displayed and the difference with the glasses on and off was pretty amazing.
Definitely DEFINITELY worth the money if you are big on gaming. Are they a bit expensive? Yes, but think of the headaches and strain you'll save yourself!
What's great about it: They WORK
What's not so great: I have nothing bad to say about these.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Will be one of the top holiday games.

The 3DS version is different game play than the console versions in that this one allows you to perform jumps and double jumps and is more of a platforming-based game with objective goals for each level.
The point is to accumulate a set number of radiance crystals to unlock new worlds to eventually fight the boss who is plaguing the land with darkness. It's a simple story and the game play is straight-forward. It's a simple but fun and very addicting platforming, button-mashing slasher game that will leave you wanting more...and it delivers with the add-ons that work like DLC for online gaming.
Pros:
Fun/simple/addicting game play to keep you entertained
Co-op and VS mode are fun
Loads of extra characters and content
Characters can be used cross-platform.

Cons:
Requires one character of every elemental type (8 total) to access every area of the game (not necessary to play and beat though). Even though it stinks to have to buy more than what's included that's part of the fun.

What's great about it: Game play is great for gamers of all levels of experience plus loads of additional characters and content .
What's not so great: Can be a bit pricey if you get a large number of add-ons.
