The music in that trailer was really good. And although I really like music, I usually don't pay attention to VG music all that much. I think I may have just moved TF to a day one purchase because of that trailer.
I preordered this from Amazon. I've never done that before, so I have no idea when I should expect the game.
A lot of times they have release date delivery, but i didn't see it available this time.
When it comes to Nintendo, Amazon doesn't always offer release date delivery. I really hope they do this time though. If they don't ship mine by Thursday night, I'll just go digital.

Also, I've played the first couple of stages, and I'm liking it so far. If you're using the GamePad (or presumably the Pro), having played DKCR 3D on 3DS is a bit of an asset for knowing how the control schemes work.

Yeah, at least he had actual criticism about the game, unlike Eurogamer's "This game is really really really great, better than the last one, but it's not important so it sucks".

I read that as " this should have been metroid waaa". A follow up to a smash hit franchise revival that sold like 2 million copies and got an unprecedented 3DS port which also sold well seems important to me

The Wii version sold more than 5 million copies and the 3DS version sold about 1.5 million copies worldwide. Sounds pretty "important" to me.

Yea, what most people don't think about when they complain about Retro doing Metroid, is that DKCR has sole more than all three Prime games combined.
As awesome as Metroid and Retro's Prime games are, they were not huge sellers.
Yup. It sold well because it was an absolutely outstanding platformer (the best 2D platformer since Super Mario World, in my opinion) and Retro chose to make a sequel. Nintendo basically gave them free reign on what their next project was going to be, so they could've theoretically made another Metroid or a Star Fox or F-Zero or whatever but they said that they liked working on DK so much and that they had so many ideas left that they made a sequel.
I never let the particular graces of reviewers determine if I will or will not buy a game
My own anticipation has only steered me wrong a very, very few times
Same here. I can usually tell if I'm going to like a game by looking at a couple gameplay videos and comparing it to similar games I've played and enjoyed.

Does anyone have a comparison of disc vs. eshop load times?
Apparently Toys R Us has a similar deal.

I would totally visit you at work, especially since your work always seems to have such great deals. But you are on the other side of the country

It's a shame you don't work at a Fred Meyer anywhere near me. I'd totally visit.

Eurogamer review is REALLY weird and makes no sense. It reads like a review of nintendo rather than the game.

Check out my youtube channel, maybe subscribe?: NerdAndOrGeek
It's a better game in basically every way, but it's got less importance, so it gets a 7.

Polygon's review is literally the exact opposite of Gamespot's.

@King Riptor has it right I think.
It means the game is great, but we want another Metroid. 6/10!

Yeah, but it is hard to compare those two numbers when you look at the install base for each of their systems.
It's not fair to compare Prime's numbers on the Gamecube, to DKCR's numbers on the Wii.

What about Prime 3 to DKCR?
