Personally, Sonic Advance 1 is my favorite Sonic game. It feels like a sequel to the Genesis/MD Sonic games, kind of like a mix between Sonic 1 and 2. I also feel it handles the platforming side of things better than any of the game. It's a bit easy (at least in the first half) and kind of short, but it does have a lot of replayability.

Ah, nice, thanks. After seeing this, I'm actually more excited for Megaman and Bass though. I never anticipated that one coming out!

One of my most anticipated games.

Shiiiit. I was set to order a N3DSXL tonight after weighing up if I want bigger screens or faceplates. Bigger screens won.
But before now I didn't realise the XL had a glossy exterior. I can't stand glossy stuff at the best of times, but on a handheld? Yuk.
Now I don't know WHAT TO DO and I need to order tonight.
We've still got space on Team Small, come join us!

You're not looking at the exterior while playing, are you?

Colonel Mustard is all about that Mega Man and Bass.
Get a regular one. I "downgraded" from a regular XL, and the screens look amazing.Shiiiit. I was set to order a N3DSXL tonight after weighing up if I want bigger screens or faceplates. Bigger screens won.

Are they actually glossy? From photos they look like the exact same sort of paint is on the 3DS XL. It's "shiny" to a degree but has none of the problems of a gloss coat.

Seems hard to find pics, but this photo makes it look more than the paint the normal XL has.
But maybe it's not quite as glossy as the original 3DS either.

Hate the name of this, but loving the game play vibe from this. I wish the designs stand out a bit more, but I'm watching this game.
That looks nice!
Some Pandemonium and Sonic vibes mix there. Give it to me.

Why do you need impressions? Just play the free trial version.
I will, forgot about the free version. Maybe we can get some NintenGAF matches going!
Oh no, a half-assed and years-late port didn't make money. What a crime.

To weigh in on the glossy debate I played with the "new xl" at my local GS last week. It had Majora playing on it. I only had a few complaints about the machine but the biggest issue for me was the glossy finish. It looked terrible. I know to some it's not a big deal but it bothered me enough to wait and see what else comes out later in the year. I may downgrade to the faceplates if NOA brings it here. I'm weird about stuff like that though so YMMV.

Not really a delay when never had a release date to begin with.
IGN's unboxings make it pretty clear.
But yeah, it's most definitely glossy.
The difference from the OG 3DS is that the whole system is glossy, like how the DS Lite was, rather than just the top.
The major push factor for me to get a standard n3DS was the fact that it was matte, as I also despise glossy systems, but I'm in NA so I have no choice.
However, I used a display model to play some MM, and it really wasn't that bad. It looks very very nice, and the pattern underneath the gloss hides fingerprints pretty well. It doesn't feel as annoying as I thought it would either.
If you really want those big screens, I say go for it.
But I dunno, if I had the chance at a standard one I would get it, and I don't care about faceplates or color buttons. Just want the portability and matte

Developers on twitter.
It's no delay though. It never had a release date. They're working on the US release now.

Yikes! Yeah just found it on Twitter a few mins ago. That's a shame, had my wallet primed and ready to go.
Would be nice if we got the demo version without the ability to buy the full content packs

Sonic Advance is better than the Genesis games. Come at me. I hope we get it next week.
That's why I'm unsure about it. Waiting for CoroCoro and the official site update on Friday to see
half-assed? was it worse than the original game?
It's in the official NOA newsletter.
I see no reason to doubt it. NES Remix came out on a Wednesday, NES Remix 2 on a Friday. It's not unprecedented for NOA to release digital games on non-Thursdays.

Newsletters have seldom been reliable though. I'm just waiting until we have something else say it before I'm 100% on it.

NES Remix came out on a Wednesday because it was available immediately after the Direct that announced its existence. Just saying.

Stupid question: Am I able to get rid of the blue dot on my Animal Crossing icon without booting the game up?
Nope.

Haha I have this too, can't boot up as I've finally stopped playing and have my villagers frozen but this blue dot is driving me crazy!
