I beat World 8 the other day.  I love this game.  My fiancee and I fight a lot playing co-op.  We're going back through to get all the star coins, and it's very frustrating- we're always kcocking each other into holes.  I taught her about the bubble button, and that helps a lot. 

I think the level designs are tighter and prettier than NSMB DS for sure.  The controls feel very much like SMB1, a little slow, but I adjusted quickly.  Some of the boss battles ARE hard (I agree with Peachylala, Ludwig's second battle is tough).  It's all about getting them before than can start their routines.

I'll probably get the Game And Watch collection and sell it. Though I might as well wait until my coins are close to expiring before I do that in the off chance that they add something worthwhile.

Yeah, I wish we knew if they were going to add more items.  I thought they'd be new each year.  I might just get Game and Watch as well.  We'll see.

I only use NES-style controls and view.

I love this game.  I've been playing non-stop, and I've gotten S on every track!  Now I'm trying to unlock on the WFC point bikes. 

The game has what the very best of Nintendo's games have- a sense of rythm when you're doing everything right.  So good.

I've finished with Mario, and stopped at about halfway through with Luigi.  I really want to open that final level (one more opens, right?), but some of the Luigi variants are very hard.

I want new, better prizes.  Now!

How would you feel if they take off EVERYTHING that is old, and only have new stuff. If you didn't order the stuff in the past they are gone forever. Would like that or no?

This question is for everyone btw

I would LOVE that.  Like TheFleece, I have what I want from this selection.  They should have an ultra-premium prize of a vinyl toy of your Mii.  I know that's never going to happen.

Well, I haven't played the DS version, but I'm sure it's similar.  It's classic Arkanoid (Breakout with power-ups), but with ingenious level designs.  After beating each level, you can choose to progress left of right.  I believe there are 30 sets of levels each way, 60 total.  You double the number of levels for $2 more in-game.  The game really tests your skills, and forces you to aim that little ball as best you can down narrow pathways.  The 2-player mode is very fun (at least for me and my girlfriend).  The graphics are very classic, rainbow blocks and simple backgrounds.  The music is kind of annoying techno circa 1996, I should see if there's an option to turn it off.  I love the game, but I was a big Arkanoid fan to begin with.  I suggest playing with the Classic Controller's larger D-pad.

Incidentally the latest MailBag states a rumor that Hudson who develops these games are no longer interested in making any more Mario Party games.

Good!

His comment should be considered to be about WiiWare games only.  I still think it's crap.

I'm digging it.  I've played a lot of single player, and my girlfriend and I are about to tackle the multi.  So far, I really like Table Tennis, Air Sports, Swordplay and, surprisingly, Wakeboarding.  Oh, Archery is good too.

Is it possible to register more than one of the same game? I was thinking about stealing getting the registration codes from my brother's games.

Nope.  Once per game.  Sorry, Mop_it_up.

I've been hoping for this.  I'm a huge fan of the ball rolling game from Wii Fit, and this seems like a great fit!
