Does look like one of the best mario games to have come out for a while so I would imagine ill get it at some point!

Let me know how it plays

I'll probably get it just so I can finally use my 3DS.

Almost, except I've never liked Zelda so gave that one a miss.

Why in the name of hell is Nintendo releasing this on the same day as Zelda

My shopto order arrived today, 2 days before release, can't complain about that.

Same here - it's lovely

Cancelled my pre order and replaced it with Mario Kart 7 instead. After playing it at the Eurogamer Expo, I found it hard to judge platforms for jumping as I cant see 3D.

Why wouldnt they? They are two completely different platforms.

I find it works just as well in 2D as any previous Mario game (I play 2D on the train).

So far this is up there with the best 3D Marios for me - not something I say lightly! Infact it's clicked more than Galaxy. There's no question that this is the best handheld Mario.

Because they are releasing their 2 biggest games of the year on the same day!

Is nobody alse playing this? I guess with Skyrim and Zelda about there's lots competing for play time. Anyways - Super MArio 3D Land is brilliant. Much better than I hoped it'd be. The levels are bit-sized but crammed full of gameplay. It marries old skool 2D Mario and current 3D better than anything else in the series - it really does feel like SMW/SMB3 crossed with SM64. This is the best 3DS game - go buy it

Its fantastic

This'll be added to my sons christmas presents this year and will conveniently benefit me as well

Can anybody shed some light on whether a French version of the game will work on my UK 3DS? As far as I can tell, it shouldn't be a problem, but I don't want to spent €45 on a game I could just order from the UK.

Thank you!

Never played this type of game before, looks fun but not too sure?

Definitely owe it to yourself to give it a try, you may love it. Mario is still one of the best series of games ever.

Nope, it's the inside of the normal cover.
