IGN's got their Mario 3D Land review up... and it sounds awesome.  IGN says it's the first game on the system to get the most out of the 3D effect, and the 3D is truly a necessary part of the gameplay experience.  Leave it to Mario, I guess. :)

In the two hours I've played (and from the few posts I've skimmed over in this topic):

-3D isn't even slightly necessary in order to play the game and find everything.
-It's a rather simple game.
Formerly quite reasonable.

I wouldn't say 3D is "needed", but there are those isometric rooms specifically designed to screw with people not using 3D.

My thoughts on the game: Remember when NSMB came out using SMB as its touchstone for items and music and everyone said now they should make NSMB based on the other 2D games? Well this is NSMB3, straight-up.

Also I died a lot on this one level so it gave me infinite invincibility and I felt bad.

Also LOL at the second Star Coin in 5-2.

Is anyone using that alternate 3D mode?

Do you know of any infinite 1-Up tricks?

Cool final boss fight.

I also like the insidious twist on Shadow Mario levels.

This post has sold me on the game and system.  Thanks Lizard Dude.

What an odd writing style he has.

But he doesn't like SMG so his opinion is invalid.

He didn't get laid because he and his girlfriend hated Super Mario Galaxy.

That is quite possibly the most pathetic story I have ever read.

Edit: The actual review makes me want SM3DL though.

some people just don't belong behind a pen.

I played the game when Jim and I were waiting on Ultimate Mahvel Baybee. It was cool, if too familiar to really blow me away... I didn't even really care for how the 'nooki suit was used, something about it was awkward to me. So I stuck with fire.

At any rate, it must've felt good to finally be able to use the Fire Flower in 3D without a time limit or motion controls, right?

The jump physics feel a little off at times, but it seems good otherwise.

Posting from my 3DS, by the way. Typing this alone was a *****.

This makes me sad. Tim Rogers is the best videogame journalist I've ever encountered.

If he would use a website that doesn't make my eyes explode violently from my face, that would be just dandy.
