This really looks like a weird Gamecube/PS2 era import game that you only can get from your friend Frank because he "knows a guy."

I really, REALLY want this.

Nintendo is simultaneously a mindless rehasher of its old franchises & the most batshit insane developer out there.

I feel like Nintendo touched me in my special area, and I didn't entirely hate it but I felt weird about it for years to come.

Can't believe I just watched an 11-minute trailer and was disappointed when it was over. That was amazing.

Fucking incredible. The fact that Nintendo is willing to do crazy shit like this has swayed my opinion, I guess I am getting a 3DS.

This looks amazing, but street passing doesn't happen here, all of this is out of reach for me.

From what the trailer implied, it doesn't require street passing. You just manually make the Miis yourself, or get them from your friends list, and the magic plays out by itself. At least, that's how I interpreted it.

Nintendo is getting weird, but this still feels like something thrown together for a small budget.

Trinen, Bill Trinen. At least get his name right. He deserves it after this performance :D

Small budget? They've been working to get the voice tech right in other language for years. Consider that this works in six languages. Just because it's a game using Miis doesn't mean it's some cheap throwaway thing.

I'm happy they're finally bringing the game over. I loved the original DS game, and I was super sad when I realized I wouldn't be able to import the 3DS version due to stupid the stupid region lock.

Yeah I am so getting this and creating the GB crew for it. Jeff will move in next door and we will be best buddies until we fight because he plays his music too loud and then Patrick will cry because Vinny broke his toys and Drew and me will go to the park and fly model airplanes and it will be cool the end.

EDIT: I forgot about Alex. Alex will be there and he will want to wrestle me every day and I will say no Alex no, you are just a punk and I am busy flying planes with Drew but Alex will not stop so I will say ok punk you asked for it and I will powerslam him right through his video game collection and everyone will think I am great and then it will be the proper end.

I don't think they could have made a better suiting trailer (reveal? thingy?) for this. That. Was. Amazing!

I think we need more videos that include Reggie wearing a giant Mii head and laughing maniacally.

Yes. Yes we do.

I've been trained to believe everything Nintendo puts out will be kiddied up to a hard to take degree.

I really wish every game was like this trailer. Dammit Nintendo, be like this more often, I order you.
