@SkywardLink98 I'll behave I promise!

@Shire D'oh! Haha thanks for spotting that, have edited it

I'm a big Attack on Titan fan so I hope it gets released in the UK!

Not gonna lie, I'm rather excited about this. If Pokemon Typing got a Western release, I'm sure this one will

Ack! So excited! I am beyond obsessed with Persona 4 Golden atm, so will be sure to love this one too

Wow! Congratulations team I had no idea that Animal Crossing guide was doing so well, thank you to all of our readers and have a happy new year!

@MaciejKuczynski You are right! I am a forgetful sillybilly.

@Gioku ;D

@3dcaleb Every Nintendo gamer should experience the beauty that was Red/Blue, then Gold/Silver and Ruby/Sapphire those have always been my favourites

@zipmon Morgan - trust you to be reviewing this one ;D

@Doma I would love to review a game like this at some point, I always wanted to review Akiba's Trip, purely to see if I did feel really uncomfortable or not. There's only been one incidence when I reviewed a J-RPG (on PS3) that I was annoyed by its portrayal of women, and that was mainly to do with the language used rather than how they were dressed.

@Morph There are a few references to Apollo Justice, but your understanding of the story shouldn't be hindered at all - Dual Destinies does a pretty good job of re-introducing most of the characters. You should definitely pick up Apollo Justice though! One of my favourites

@Spoony_Tech Yes! The Orca DLC looks hilarious!

@unrandomsam I'm a very suspicious lady indeed..

But in all seriousness, Animal Crossing NL, Pokemon X&Y, and AA:DD are all smashing games and I believe wholeheartedly they deserve the scores I gave them. It just so happens I've been pretty fortunate lately and have reviewed some awesome games, but trust me I've had to play through my fair share of duds too.

Aaaah you had me at coloured buttons Nintendo, both are beautiful. Turquoise ever so slightly more beautiful...

@snoox Success!!

@Klimbatize I laughed

@Mytoemytoe Ahw maaan, now I'm never going to be a Pokemon Master

@ShikabaneHime13 Yeah! It's so cool I sure can, I do believe you collect them as you go along (but I could be wrong), my character's eyes were naturally blue, and then I so far have Brown, Hazel, Gray and Green in my Lenses Case. I'll keep searching and see if any exciting contact colours crop up.

@ZephyrTheLegend Hi there, I can't talk about the relative size of the region map specifically, but I can say it's well spaced, creating a good story/gameplay pace
As for the Pokemon I would say you encounter more old gen Pokemon than new Pokemon on average, which in my opinion is better as you really relish those moments when a new species pops up! Even in "important battles" older gen Pokemon are used, rather than purely Gen VI.

@Genesaur There's even a little hat boutique with berets - amazing, huh! And you can put coloured eye contacts in and get haircuts!

Hey NLife readers - just a quick mention that unfortunately we weren't able to mention online gameplay in this review, but rest assured it is there! We just can't talk about it openly yet - although we will cover it in a subsequent article. If you're interested in local wireless gameplay, Martin Watts covered a bit of it in our 'First Impressions' article a few weeks back.

In regards to new Pokemon numbers etc. we aim to keep our reviews as spoiler-free as possible, but otherwise if you have any questions hit me up!

@Morphtorok @DarkKirby Tom just beat me to it, but was just about to say that I think Mr Masuda meant in development terms they could manipulate the camera in order to frame each screen, rather than simply having a top-down view like in previous Pokemon games.

Aaaah I'm already excited.

@belmont Tales of Xillia for sure!

@belmont I agree that Pokemon games have always looked a little behind visuals-wise, and although I can't comment about the 3D (played Pokemon Y on a 2DS), from what I saw it's a definite improvement from the last generation, which in my opinion was a bit rough around the edges. I didn't have enough time with it to sit quietly and note down any technical graphical issues - that will come with the review later on

@Emblem They're down to attend London MCM Expo in October, and always have a demo stand full of handheld/console games, would be crazy for them not to bring X & Y along.

@ueI It isn't?? ;D Haha
Some features of X and Y have definitely taken inspiration from Nintendogs that's for sure...

@LordJumpMad Martin picked Chespin and I went for Froakie!

I really like the Disney Infinity figures, but agree about the messy part where the arms etc. connect to the main bodies. My Sully figure is awfully discoloured around the joints, which is a bit of a shame.

This is so ridiculous but brilliant at the same time.
It's pretty much universally agreed that anything looks better with a 'tache.

@Knuckles Gyro and buttons/touch-pad

@WinterWarm 220 hours?? I am very impressed!! I can't wait to start my 2nd playthrough

@Ron_DelVillano I'm so ready.

Being one of the crazy fools who never played the original I think I just might have to snap up this remastered version to see what all the fuss is about

Lovely words you got there, @Ron ;D

I neeed this in my life! Really looking forward to release

Congratulations guys!!

Yes please!

Good news!

@AcesHigh Totally my fault, Sunday-brain not in gear, currently looking into it. Thanks for pointing this out

@rjejr Heya - you're absolutely right, I'll see if I can edit that.

@Phil You're too nice!

For the record, I was too busy remodeling my Animal Crossing house to contribute to this article - Sorry Tom ;D

I think that's a great shame, I feel that KH3 would be perfect for the Wii U, but hey ho.

It looks sweet, I'd buy it!

I absolutely can't wait to play this badboy! Phoenix Wright - I've missed you!

Another ridiculous game that I want in my collection.

@MrBrownie Glad you found it useful. You can't order replicas of other players items during the dream mode, but you can order most furniture from players you've streetpassed in the streetpass avenue of the main street. All the online features sound a little confusing down on paper but all will become clear once you boot up the game!

@Mowzle Hiya! It's saved to the SD card, so you can always take the card out to use on other 3DS consoles.

@brandonbwii I think what you've heard is right, you don't seem to be able to send letters to other towns that you've visited, only your own townsfolk and 'Future Me'. Not sure why they'd axe this feature... I'd presume in order to accommodate all the new features they've put in?
You can't take anything to or from the dream world, only the drawings which Wendell gives you. However, Wendell doesn't function like he normally would in the dreams, you don't have to give him any food and he will give you a pattern from the town your visiting, not the normal patterns he gives out in the 'real world'. I think Wendell pops up every time you visit a dream town.
Yep you can still buy a timer! I think it pops up for sale after you've expanded the convenience store for the first time.
I don't think the Observatory exists any more (although I could be mistaken), as Celeste now works in the museum gift shop which pops up after you've expanded your museum to the 2nd floor.

Hope this answers everything!

@Mowzle Haha yes I was joking. In honesty, I have waaay to big a guilty conscience to do that to anyone. If that was my town I'd cry for days!
Saying that, a friend (now acquaintance) of mine did axe some of my trees in Wild World a few years back.. It didn't end well.

@Philip_J_Reed Not gonna lie there was a LOT of that going on last week and I'm not one to often swear. Maybe after release I'll video myself playing just for your viewing pleasure

@bassoongoon From what I understand, Bob's an anti-hero, so while he's not exactly a good guy (doesn't really care about saving the princess), he's not evil either.

@bahooney The soundtrack is pretty similar to Wild World, albeit with new tracks. It's mostly calming atmospheric music fitting with the season/time of day, and while it definitely changes throughout the course of the day, I'm not 100% certain that it changes every hour. A few of the more memorable character themes are back (e.g. Resetti's), but I do believe it's mostly new material.

@LittleIrves Pwnee are genuinely lovely guys too, always very forthcoming with updates etc. I really hope their imminent launch goes well for them

I really enjoyed the time I spent with Cloudberry Kingdom. It was old-school platforming heaven.
