Geek Pikimal - Mario Kart 7 arrived in Japan yesterday and hits stateside on Sunday. With it marks the beginning of a new era for the Nintendo 3DS. In a literal sense, it signals the end of this calendar year for the system, as the next big games for the 3DS won’t start to arrive until roughly a month from now in January.
And 2012 is very much a make or break year for Nintendo’s latest handheld, after a debut that rarely lived up to the hype. There’s the impending debut of Vita to consider, as Sony seems to have more AAA releases coming out at launch than the 3DS can lay claim to after nearly a year.
VGChartz's Evan Norris: "Is Ocarina of Time as legendary as I remembered it? For the most part, yes. In spite of a handful of missteps — a few obtuse puzzles, some tedious backtracking, and a clunky stealth sequence — I don't believe the last 23 years have been unkind to it. Ocarina remains a brilliant example of the medium, a landmark game that shaped the future of its own franchise and 3D gaming in general. After more than two decades it retains its inventive dungeon design, challenging puzzles, dynamic combat, wistful storyline, unforgettable music, and empowering open-air freedom. I feel confident calling it one of the greatest games of the fifth generation, even if I'm no longer prepared to list it among the five best games ever made."
Pure unadulterated fun. They don't make them like this anymore...especially not the triple A industry.
Back when video rental was a thing, I rented out Majoria's Mask, I never finished it though. I did buy the 3DS version before the eshop shutdown, so maybe one day I'll finally play through the whole thing, it's amazing how well these games hold up though. I briefly played Ocarina of Time for a while and it was really fun.
Game Rant participates in the Megaton Musashi World Cup, checking out the game a little bit beforehand and winning the first round match.
After being benched for 20 years, and returning only to be forsaken again despite being a splendid game, it's time Kid Icarus gets salvation.

Well it is hard for any Mario game to do bad.
The name Mario alone sells, and reviewers are likely to be biased towards it (unless they grow tired of him like me).
I'm so happy I don't own one of these things, PS Vita FTW!
what about Fire Emblem or Mario Tennis??? those franchises are great. I hope the single player is like the GBA games, all the character building and the "school", it was great.
yes folks mario 3d land is great cant wait for re:revelations
