Just to be clear, you won't be able to play it without a Wii Classic Controller of some sort.

Sticker Star has this weird identity crisis thing going on where it kind of wants to be a "point-and-click-ish" adventure game (get [ITEM] to bypass [OBSTACLE]/[BOSS]) and an RPG-lite and some other stuff going on but it never does any of these things well and you're left with a mess of a game in terms of gameplay stuff.

Kid Icarus: Uprising, on the other hand, is perfect.

I seem to remember people saying the Ghost Recon strategy game on 3DS was actually decent. Is it actually good and does it give coins?

It's an okay game but if you're really into grid-based strategy, you'll probably find it lacking. I breezed through the campaign and the challenges at the hardest difficulty with the exception of a really early mission and the last mission. It's a very good "baby's first strategy game".

But you won't get any coins from it. If you're looking for stuff to give you coins this should help: https://club.nintendo.com/eligible-products.do

Edit: Nevermind I suck dicks, I forgot about all those games having Clancy's name plastered all over them.

You get 30 coins from the eshop version of it, which is $7.50 this week.

I'd say it's worth it at 7.50- think portable easy Xcom Lite. The GI Joe aesthetic crossed with the usual Tom Clancy wankery is also hilarious.

It works sporadically. (I just logged in.) Do you mean that blue message bar at the top? That's just a "yeah, we know it's kinda janky, hold your horses" message.

Give it another shot. Earlier this week it was way worse, and the only way I managed to get some codes was to do them after I got up for work at 5 AM (EST).

HI
I raided my nephews' skylander game collections for the last few points I needed for platinum. Holy poo poo, they gave me like 80-100 points each. I cashed in 12. So many points. So much room for activities.

I bought all the games I don't have, bought the messenger bag and the ds game case as well. Now I have 10 coins left from the thousands I'd been hoarding. Goodbye club Nintendo, you were a thing.

I've also been unable to get on it at all for like half a week, just getting the maintenance page.

(Oh, just checked and it's finally working for me again, though!)

Not the banner, for me, it had been redirecting to a full-page thing saying that the site was down for maintenance.

Also the reason it feels Xcom-Lite is because it's literally made by the creator of Xcom. It doesn't take great advantage of the 3DS's features, but that's because it's an original DS game that was delayed and retooled into a 3DS launch game. If you're fine with that, it's a solid portable strategy game.

Maybe it's some kind of meta brain training to see how long it'll take for me to forget it exists (the answer is never dr kawashima)

Tesco UK has listed its release for Feb 14. I put a preorder last month -- let's see what happens.

Zavvi has had the game listed as 15 March for, like, six months. Nintendo's own site just keep listing it as TBA. :sigh:

If you bought it new from Gamestop then technically you're buying used because they open all their games before selling them. It's possible that an employee is swiping all of the registration codes.

Overall, I'm really enjoying it. The non-devilish stuff so far is pretty enjoyable, and the variety of it leaves me reasonably excited to see what else is offered.
