Bensei commented on Review: The Very Hungry Caterpillar's ABCs (Wi...:

This game also disappears from the PAL-Shop on 30th November. It's a pity, although I'm way too old for this.

I guess it didn't work so well here sicne it's just in English, which is a killer for a pre-school game

Bensei commented on Tips: Two New Super Mario Bros. 2 Secrets:

Really hated it that I lost the shining stars in NSMB Wii. I didn't want to finish a level without getting all the star coins so I saw the Super Guide Block, but never touched it. Sadly, in NSMB Wii seeing it (by dieing 8 times in a row) was enough :(

Bensei commented on Mighty Switch Force! HD Heading to Wii U eShop:

I hope they also release MFC DX. It worked on PSP, so it should work even better with Wii U controls :D

I wonder if it gets a HD makeover, or if it's just an upscaled version of the 3DS title? Doesn't matter though, I'd buy it anyways.

Bensei commented on Feature: Wario is Missing?:

I don't think this was planned as a Wario-Game, I just think they completely forgot Wario could star in a Jump'n'Run.

However, it would be really awesome if Wario was an unlockable character in this Game :3

Bensei commented on Wreck-It Ralph Confirmed for Wii, 3DS and DS:

I doubt the cameos will be in this game. As I can judge from the trailer, they are not an integral part of the story, so they could easily be replaced.

I had to review that smurfs game, which fetured full sequences of the movie. But none of them, not even the stills, showed a single glimpse of Neil Patrick Harris, although he was the Main Act (next to the smurfs). They mentioned the name of his role all the time in the narration, but no pictures were shown.

Of course this game has nothing to do with Wreck-It Ralph, but as you can see, you can skip licenses).

Bensei commented on Europe's Virtual Console Loses 6 Games This Month:

About the losses: All the Games are published by Irem, except for R-Type (TG-16) but I guess they are involved. The other 3 are TG-16 games, but they are from G-Mode, not Hudson.

The only Title that worries me is Military Madness. It's from Hudson, and I really see no point in removing WiiWare-Games...

Bensei commented on Nintendo Reconfirms Wii U Will Not Make Wii Ga...:

Of course it works good with games like Super Mario Galaxy, which mainly consists of shaders. But what's with games that have a lot of textures? I don't think they're that easy to upscale.

And honestly, there are only a few gems like SMG that I would like to replay in HD

Bensei commented on Rumour: Official Legend of Zelda Series Timeli...:

Why should the Triforce be split after ALttP (its split in LoZ).

I also thought FS is at least one generation apart from FS (maybe connected with another Zelda title? Link and Zelda know each other already) but could go together well with FSA in the same generation (although its never clearly stated if FSA is).

Bensei commented on Nintendo Developing New Game Genres to Revital...:

Don't mistake genre with franchise, Iwata-San. Dr. Kawashima was NOT a new Genre. The Atari 2600 already had educational Games. Nintendogs was NOT a new Genre. There already were Games in the "Toy" Genre. Nintendogs was just a far more developed Tamagotchi. Wii Fit is also NOT a new Genre.

I don't say those games were bad, they had a huge impact on the market.

Bensei commented on You're Not Alone in Finding the First Zelda So...:

Just completed it yesterday XD

It's hard, especially if you play it without a Overworld Map (since there are no clues in which order to complete the dungeons), but not "Hell-how-should-I-complete-this?" hard. Zelda II -> Yes, but also beatable after getting the Life-Magic and Midoro Palace.

Bensei commented on 3DS Price Cut Helps Machine to Huge Sales Hike...:

Just think of it: 250€, for just then 10€ more you could get an iPod Touch with 32 Gigs. Not that it would compare to a 3DS in gaming, but Apple is a bigger brand. And for even less money you could get an Xbox 360 with lots of big games already available. With only 180€ it is now far more argueable to buy one.

I got mine at the release btw.

Why no Super Paper Mario or Punch-Out!? Especially SPM is really hard to get in Europe. I already bought them, but only 2 games for us, while the US got four? Not to mention 2 games every Wii Owner SHOULD aready have played?

Bensei commented on Talking Point: How Much Fan Influence Should G...:

The problem with Fans is, that they are not qualified but quantified opinions. I'd really like to see a Zelda with a Future or present day setting, or a HD Mario with a realistic art style, but many fans are just turned off by the idea. If Nintendo would ever like to risk such a step, they can only convince the mass if they don't show anything of it before they are 80% done. (And other than SONIC THE HEDGEHOG and Bomberman Act zero I think that those concepts could work if Nintendo is behind it).

I think the major problem with MML3 is that they didn't release the Prototype. Only die-hard fans registered, which is okay for the first steps in development. But I guess if they released the prototype with a link to the devroom, they would have had the chance to attract gamers which are totally new to the series to join the devroom.

Bensei commented on Nintendo Rep Backpedals on Game Boy Advance Kirby:

I guess they still could be in, but I don't want to make it official yet. Maybe they change their minds around October and want to throw in different games? If they'd officially announce them now, they'd limit their moves.

Bensei commented on Iwata: We Will Do Paid Download Content for Wi...:

I wouldn't be angry if they gave us 16 new and 16 bestof-old tracks in Mario Kart and then charge around 5€ for another retro pack (16 tracks, 20 on GBA and SNES).

But I guess the paid content is more like a move for third-party developers, so that they don't have to do any extra-programming for multi-consoleros.

Bensei commented on Talking Point: The GBA Games You Want on 3DS V...:

Yeah, Starfy would be AWESOME, but it woul require translation and thererfore won't happen.

I'd be happy about any game I don't already have (which is hard, as I own nearly all Nintendo must-haves). Or Wario Land 4. Imo best GBA-Jump'n'Run

I don't think ALttP/FS would make it, since we already get FS or DSiWare in September

Bensei commented on FAQ: Nintendo Ambassador Program and Free eSho...:

I doubt they'll release RPGs for the GBA Ambassadors.

Are you sure that you'll only be able to download ten selected NES Games? I mean, if Nintendo made an emulator for 3DS, they could also release the whole Wii NES VC Games at once.

Anyways, if I get Zelda I, II, Kid Icarus and Punch_out, then I'm happy.
