    They should make Mario galaxy for 3ds. It would look super with the 3d graphics

    How would you, Maxwell, have suggested they use the 3D functionality in more creative ways? I thought the sense of depth alone was outstanding, especially when standing far, far above the rest of the stage, looking down.

    i reached the special stages, and they are awesome. The Game isnt to short and to easy. This just deserved a better rating - both zeldas, mario and mario kart - or all great nintendo games this year are underrated. Incompetent - somehow.

    @Jonwh18. On the 3ds the game looks awsome. this and mario kart 7 are done injustice by their ratings.

    can anyone with a 3ds confirm this question? This game looks better on the actually console right it looks really grainy in the review....

    i have reached the second part of world 8, and its maybe not as long as most people would like it to be, its also a bit easy, but the levels are just great, there is no level that i not really like. All in all the levels are better than the one in the SMG titles, which had some very nice levels too, but always had some boring ones, SM3DLs Levels are very close in quality and fun to play - without any boring ones all levels disgend for just great jump and run action. 9.0 would be the right rating. well 8.0 isnt far way of that, but somehow a asskick for nintendo and its fans.

    Almost everything in the full review is positive but the game only gets an 8? This has been happening a lot recently...

    cant understand the ratings here one gamespot - why do you hate nintendo??? All thier good §ds games are just unterrated. °°°ed up site this is today.

    no no no no no wait. At 4:25 he begins to talk about how the 3D is just used as "eye candy" here. I could not disagree more. The 3D actually has a huge impact on the gameplay throughout the entire game. In fact, there are some rooms in the game that REQUIRE the 3D to be on to interpret the dimensions of the room!

    This game more than exceeded my expectations, which were already great to begin with. I'd give it a 9.5. The levels are incredible

  • KH3_2013

    just by watching the review I can give this game an 8.5 and place it as #2 in my 3ds want list (kingdom hearts 3d is #1)

    @lilkev85: I'm picking the game soon but i think what the reviewer was expectins was more in line with what the game cards that come with the 3DS, like dragon game. That was one reason i bought my 3DS, i was pretty impressed with the 3D feeling. And so far i never experience similar scenario. Its a real shame as its a pretty neat feature.

    Jesus guys I've read about 20 comments about how the game should be more challenging... Just because we are in our twenties/thirties and have grown up with Mario and played maybe about 1000 other videogames in our life, that doesn't mean Mario isn't still a game FOR ALL AGES, including my 8 year old sister. If you expect Dark Souls difficulty out of it, you are seriously wrong. This game is meant to be fun for all the family, and low difficulty is to be expected. Also, about the gyroscope and the street pass, I seriously disagree with the reviewer and strongly believe they shouldn't be a core element in any game. Street pass because not all love carrying their 3DS anywhere further than their couch, and gyroscope because once overused, you'll have to move around all the time like a maniac, and lose the good old option of playing in your bed and relax.

    Finally, the 3D effect is AMAZING, I don't know what people expect out of it, but this is just meant to be eye-candy, not virtual reality. This isn't Matrix, it is a Nintendo handheld.

    Stop being so harsh on the 3DS, it is an amazing system and its (really short) list of titles is getting better and better as time goes by. My advice: Add 1 point to each 3DS review you see on this site, except maybe SFIV.

    this game deserves a better score than 8.
    its the best game on the 3DS, its even better than OoT.

    @Bakutakamine But remaking a game from 1 year ago on the same console is worth more? (Modern Warfare)
