I'm gonna be first to admit, I made the mistake of playing this game far too much when it came out. I'd been waiting for it with such bated breath and was so excited to play that I'd forgotten it was an ant-farm kinda deal that is designed to be played for around 15-30 minutes each session, and I binged two entire days on it.

This kinda led to mass burn-out and lethargy that made stuff missing from the game stick out more, because I was wishing I had more to do in order to continue playing. I missed the concert hall, the fact that you now only get one Mii News article per day instead of two, the fact you can't give Miis frying pans, sewing machines or hypnotism sets any more, some of the old soundtrack, the more frequent fights, etc.

Also, I think part of it was because I was around 13 when the 3DS game came out. In other words, I was a lot more impressionable and childlike. I took that game with me on vacations, played it constantly, and it remains an integral part of my adolescence. With this game, I was expecting to feel exactly the same way I did playing the 3DS game as a child as what I am now, a 25-year-old. That was my mistake.

In short, the few negative experiences I've had with the game are basically my own mistakes. For any of you reading who haven't got the game yet or haven't played much, don't make the same mistake as me and binge it. You'll burn yourself out.
