Because it's November and they haven't said anything yet? Though I suppose they could slip it in, but you'd think they would have said something by now.Truth101 said:

It doesn't need to be announced that far in advance of launch. It all depends on when NoA plans on releasing, if they do plan on it.

You don't enjoy it, fine. But, resorting to generalizing a group of people for enjoying a game is defensive and childish.

What N mob do you keep constantly referencing? You've basically been talking with like one person this whole time, and he's been completely level-headed too (instead of say, lobbing vague insults around.)

Oh, I'm not generalizing a group of people that like the game. I'm generalizing a group of people that always seems to have a problem with other opionions about their favorite games, not very uncommon when it comes to Nintendo games for some reason.
You're free to like the game as much as you want to, but really, there will always be people with other opinions. They don't dislike you at all.
Thing is, I'm not having that much fun with 3D Land, and that's it. No more, no less. If people want to have a serious discussion about it, fine, but talking about killing themselves, alternate crazy dimensions and having fun with the "subject", then I'm not game.

Right, you're clearly a Nintendrone.
I'm joking.
But I know of plenty of people who didn't really like Mario Galaxy. Either because they aren't Mario fans to begin with, or can only enjoy 2D Mario.
Also Lupin3 I'd be interested in hearing more detailed impressions. Considering you seem to be enjoying it a lot less than other J-Gaffers, would be nice to get a different point of view.

If I dare to share...
Well, mainly it's the level design, but since I haven't played all of the maps I can't say it's not getting better. Maybe it is. They often feel, well, uninspiring?!
The controls are fine, but a little slow when jumping. In my opinion.
EDIT: Not a fan of the camera either. Sometimes it's to close, and sometimes not far from straight above you. Not being able to control the camera freely feels a little weird. Or maybe I've missed something here? You can only make it look slightly to your sides. /EDIT
The overall production value is really high though, and die hard fans of Mario will probably like it a lot more than me. If you think you'll like it, you probably will. I wasn't sure, and now I know.
Still, it's a lot better than most of the games available on 3DS today.

So you naively think it is just Nintendo fans who defend their platform of choice and no one does it for Sony or Microsoft??? You are Naive or just hating on Nintendo.
Jeez... guys, stop it.
If he isn't enjoying the game all that much, it's alright. I didn't enjoy Battlefield 3 and I don't think that's a problem.
On the other side, a bunch of us that are way into the game (or 100% finished it like me) really enjoyed the game. It has it's ups and downs like every other game, and some things like the first levels aren't the most challenging and fun ever, but it gets (MUCH) better, at least in my opinion.
As for the camera, I also felt it got on the way a couple times, but really, there's nothing you can really do with the few buttons we got on the console, and 99% of the time the camera works just fine.

yeah, well, this dogpile is mob behavior, don't you think?
Yeah, have to agree with this.Mik2121 said:
When someone can't go into a thread and express a negative opinion about a game they've played without fear of being dogpiled, it lowers the quality of discussion. Not to say that was happening here in a big way, but still.
Also Lupin3 I wonder if some of the problems you're having with the level design are down to this being made by the Galaxy team. The locked (or mostly locked) camera is a thing of their's too.

I actually didn't know that, but maybe there's something to it. I can't remember that much from SMG though since I only played it for 5-10 hours right after the japanese release. Was pretty bored back then, but might give SMG2 a try some time in the future.
I'm thinking it might the platform itself as well. This game might better suit my taste on a tv with a real controller in my hands, but I'll probably never know!
Anyway, it's looking a little brighter now. Have been playing for a while as we speak and will soon enter 6-X.
regarding the white 3DS bundle in europe:
is it going to be a special release thing?
we'll be able to buy the white 3DS without the game?
will the bundle be around xmas as well or is just there for the launch of the game?
i'm asking because my bf wants to buy it for me for xmas but he cannot afford it right now...

Should I turn off the game every time I die? Or am I being paranoid? Is anything missable? I need a spoiler-free answer ;//
If you think you're going to have fun doing that, go ahead. There's one (only visual) thing you will miss if you die more than 5 times. I personally don't think it's worth it but hey..Lord Ghirahim said:
The visual thing is related to your save card. Apparently same stuff as NSMBWii, I think.

I see. I'll try to not suck as much as possible. 5 times is pretty strict though.

I know this isn't the right topic to ask but I thought it was relevant since the game is being bundled with the Ice White 3DS in Europe.
Anyway, there are pictures floating around saying that it's smaller than the other 3DS colors, but then the 2nd picture shows it's bigger. Wtf...

When I reserved the game last week at GS, the guy who helped me literally told me if I get the game from someone other than him to be on top of it because his manager and the other employees are completely clueless about preorder bonuses and often only start looking for the boxes while people are arriving for their pick ups and often act like they can't find them. When I came in to pick up my Metroid Other M preorder over a year ago, after paying for the game the girl just stood staring at me (never greeted me and was just rude the whole time). I then politely mentioned, "Oh btw there's a preorder bonus with this." The girl then says in a dry sarcastic tone, "Oh yeah....I forgot about THAT," Then walks to the back of the store, comes back and with a flick of her wrist she casually tosses the art folio pack onto the counter in front of me. I was so stunned I couldn't believe it, so I just sarcastically said "SORRY that you're having a bad day" and left. I called one of the managers later and complained, he encouraged to complain to their corporate (which I should have but never did due to some other things I had to deal with), fortunately she was eventually fired.
Nintendo of America put up another commercial for the game.

Most, if not all, 1st party 3DS games have little pictures in those holes. It's a shame NOA doesn't follow suit, even if it is a pointless thing to do.
