Actual flight would kind of screw up stage design though, considering that past attempts at flying Mario in a 3D game were not involved (for the most part) in levels that are of the point-A-to-point-B type.

I got the game yesterday. The controls actually work just fine in my opinion. It's not that they don't work, it's just that holding the 3DS in the way necessary to play the game becomes uncomfortable after 20 minutes or so. A quick break solves that issue, though.

Also there won't be another price drop for a very long time. Same goes for a remodel of the system. With Super Mario 3D Land and Mario Kart 7 out already, with more AAA titles on the way, I'd say it's a great time to buy it.

It seems like the "fail" split in the timeline is an attempt to shoehorn the games prior to OoT into a coherent timeline, since Nintendo wasn't concerned with an overarching timeline until that game.

Update your systems now! New features include 3D video recording, stop motion video-making, a ton of new Streetpass stuff, and a new app called Nintendo Zone.

What do you guys think of it? The camera shutter noise gets really annoying when trying to make a stop motion video, but besides that the new features are quite awesome.

I am definitely loving this game. I'm currently in the 4th temple. The lack of familiar locations makes me a little sad, though the tons of connections and references to other games sort of makes up of that.

This is probably the longest we've ever heard Mario talk.

I was just wondering what the retro courses are. Is there N64 Mario Circuit? I would love to drive up to Peach's castle in 3D.

Also I think you're thinking of N64 Royal Raceway. N64 Mario Circuit was already in Mario Kart Wii.

Well it also looks like they drastically shortened the shortcut. If you look at the video, they moved the waterfall where you pop out. And I find it interesting that they remodeled Koopa Troopa Beach so much, seeing as they've never done anything close to that before. It still looks good, an improvement even (though I'll have to see for myself when it comes out).

Also, Mario Circuit 2 makes sense for them to put in, seeing as it's just about the only SNES course where gliders could be used.

Well I'm somewhat glad that they're putting in characters we wouldn't expect (though part of that fun is not knowing until you unlock them. Oh well).

And billy chilly, Rosalina has been confirmed: (0:30)

My guess is you'll have to press one of the D-Pad buttons, like you would when playing Mario Kart Wii with a Gamecube controller. It worked well so it shouldn't be too much of a hassle if that's how they decide the make the 3DS control scheme.
