If I were to describe NSMB2 in one word, it would be "fine."

Hmm, really debating Donkey Kong/Animal Crossing.
Is Animal Crossing like Harvest Moon?

I own everything on sale but Lego City and Monster Hunter =/
Sold. Now all my friends can stop nagging me about it.
Now lets see if my mortgage can eclipse my student debt.

Is there something special about Animal Crossing that I'm missing? It doesn't sound like fun at all. The entire game sounds like boring busy work.

You have got to be shitting me.
I was actually waiting for Animal Crossing: New Leaf to go down in price. Then I realized that $35 was already a lower price point for a 3DS game, plus I had 6 dollars in points so that game would only end up being about $29. I also considered that high-profile Ninty games don't always drop considerably in price. So, I decided to snag it.
A week later it drops to $26 and I would have gotten it for $20 with my points.
THANKS.

You need to experience it yourself to know what it's all about. You are not going to get it if you just read some impressions.

Have you tried the game? Don't worry if you tried and don't like it, some

Its magical when you get into it , never played anything like it and there is noting else like it (aka the clones mostly all sucks).
You are missing something but it's not really anything I can explain. You might like it, you might not, but Animal Crossing is a super bizarre experience that you need to see first hand to get the appeal.
With you on that one, it sounds like AC is best for short bursts of daily play, which means that you'd either have to keep it in the slot on the time, or fumble with 3DS cards on a daily basis.
I prefer cards for most games, because most games I'm only playing for 3-4 weeks before moving onto something else. But for AC, I'll be paying the extra for the download, I think.

Thanks for the responses. I think I'll pass on AC. No one can really say what's good about it and I know a lot of (crazy) gamers like games that are more like jobs than games. This sounds like one of those games and I'm not one of those people.

Sort of but not really. Its laid back / relaxed like Harvest Moon but you aren't taking care of anything really. In the one I played you're basically just raising money to upgrade your home, collecting furniture, talking to townsfolk, and taking care of the town. The fun for me was always the events, like stuff on Halloween, since the game goes by the time and date settings on your system.
In the 3DS version I believe you're the mayor so you're also working on upgrading the town and such. And I think the mobile versions also have multiplayer that seems like fun (visiting each others towns and such). I've only played the gamecube version ever so I don't know about the multiplayer really, all I know is that I did enjoy playing animal crossing every once in a while to check out the events. It seems like the perfect game for mobile gaming so you can just pop it out while you're watching TV or something and play for a few minutes every once in a while.
That's probably best. I went through the trouble of digging this up, so I'm gonna post it anyway, but Jeff tries to explain why he likes it on the Bombcast. Skip to 57:00.
Edit: He really starts getting into it at 1:05:00
yea its a weird game. i like it a lot. its like a casual facebook game with high production values without all of the manipulative crap. some parts of the game literally makes you wait a real life day to continue. its good if you want gaming to become a part of your life. its bad if you just want something you can pick up for a day, finish it, and do something else.
It's The Sims meets Harvest Moon meets Paper Mario's localization. Best description I've read about it, I bought the game because of that
It's definitely not for everyone, it's not an action game.Lee Chaolan

If it wasn't for the drab colors available, the price wouldn't matter that much to me, so yes, I do agree with you!

Shin Megami Tensei: Devil Summoner: Soul Hackers is on sale for $29.99 as well (has been for a couple weeks now I believe) - http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00APBF8A6/?tag=neogaf0e-20

I want a Fire Emblem sale.
These are great sale prices for Nintendo games (25%) but I think people are spoiled by the race to the bottom prices of other publishers where a month after the game comes out it's 50% off or more.
It was 30 during the last sale.

Yes. It looks and sounds like a NSMB game alright, but really, the gameplay is perfect 2D Mario. 3D Land is the better Mario game, but this good enough to be worth playing. 2D Mario is way too good to skip, in my opinion.

I wish this was happening on Amazon.co.uk. £35.66 for OoT3D is just extortionate. I suppose on the plus side it prevents me from racking up an absurd backlog.

Don't be ridiculous. Of course I have.
I'm not really sure what point I was trying to make, but I dunno, when I read "sale", I'm expecting something cheaper than $30.
Sale really does mean $4-7 off. Most hold their value and are price-guarded by Nintendo. Of course there are exceptions to the rule with things like Sin and Punishment, Rhythm Heaven Wi, Golden Sun DS, Elite Beat but those are really the exceptions and not mainline franchises like Animal Crossing.
I like the game myself but I felt it was a weak game to be honest.
YES. It was on sale for ONE day and I missed it because I was waiting for an Amazon gift card from my bank ;(
I too would like this

SHIT. I just bought animal crossing yesterday and it shipped out last night.
Ask Amazon Customer Service about it. YMMV, but they're aces at this sort of thing. Ask if you can get the price adjusted, or if you need to place a new order and return the one that got shipped.
It's in a box with a bunch of other stuff, I don't really want to mess with my order. I'll be fine.

I picked up Luigi's Mansion by price matching at Fry's today. Good timing because I needed 30 points to hit Platinum status for Club Nintendo and the year ends tomorrow.
I'd be annoyed by this if there weren't people who paid full price a couple of days ago.

What's up with AC? The game just came out. D:
Animal Crossing is one of those weird games where it's impossible to know whether or not you'll like it until you play it.
nintendo games look like they're down across the board, even wii and wii u titles. probably just trying to use that game to bring people in and clear some stock.
Returned the used copy i bought at best buy then got them to price match amazon for a new copy. Sweet!

Wishing Kid Icarus would go on sale.
Amazon UK is doing a deal where you get a free copy of New Super Mario Bros 2 if you buy either a 3DS or 3DSXL, this also includes other bundles
But it removed all the charm that the Paper Mario series is known for.
It's how Nintendo makes their money, beside the game was worth it.
Don't buy this game, it isn't as good as the Wii U version.
