| It was Mario Tennis: Power Tour in America.
I'll probably pass on this. I enjoyed it, but not sure whether I'd want to play through it again, and I have bad memories of sme minigames you could play to improve your stats.
Mario Golf Advance please! Japan's had that for ages now. |

I'd love to know what you think of it, Cappa. It's one of the games which has made it onto my radar, but not far enough for me to want to play it over other games. |

| I second that, been watching a few videos of it and it looks pretty ace. The main rolling mechanics and physics remind me a lot of the rock Mario bits from Galaxy 2, which formed some of my favourite levels of that game.
I'd have bought it now but got a lot of games on my plate to play! |

| So many eShop games right now, tempted to wait for sale prices for many but then older ones come along at a reduced price and I'm back to square one, I'm thinking Block Drop U and Pullblox for now. |

I have scram kitty still to finish as well as pullblox world & then I downloaded Guacamelee: STCE, surely things like shovel Knight & 1001 spikes aren't too far away from an EU release. |

| Regarding Armillo: first impressions are fairly positive altoghether. Quite easy to play, decent-sized levels...there's quite a lot about it that reminds of the first Crash Bandicoot games, in terms of it's linearity/pathfinding, the chirpy music, the fairly naff 2D platforming bits, and even the graphics (it's £4 pricetag definitely seems to be relfected in the production values). Everything it's done so far has been seen before in other games, but yeah, it seems OK. |

| Quite enjoyed Earthbound, but in following Dragon Quest's item management and interaction mechanisms it is a bit too slow to play at times. Doesn't stop me from enjoying it but makes it harder to get back into when you have no idea where half your items have gone and what you've done with the rest. |
