That's actually pretty awesome. I love time trials.

On Super Mario 3d land, you get flowers or mushrooms and on Mario Kart 7, you get ghost data.
Still seems gimmicky to me.

It's the next evolution of the tag mode of various DS games. Now it's integrated into the main OS which makes it much easier to use.

Gimmick just sounds so nasty, like 3DS and their 3d tech as being gimmicky.

I never thought of it as gimmicks, but more of getting out of the box. The wii aka gimmicky, but look how well it sold and not to mention the fun we got out of it.

Same as the 3d, they said its all gimmicky, but look how well games are in 3d on the 3ds.

My retro gaming store has days where we can bring ours in in SP mode so that we can get 10% discounts.

Gimmick is the hot word now. It is like people are scared of everything...

"Oh they tried something odd and new and I'm not sure what to think of it, I might not like it. It must be some stupid gimmick that has no use and isn't fun at all *cry cry whine*"

Hey guys, did you hear about that controller that had two button on it? And it had a d-pad instead of a joystick! What a gimmick!

Gimmick? More like innovation.
