Since I just got my 3DS two weeks ago, I'm still playing Super Street Fighter IV and Mario Land 2. I'll also be playing TF2 and a bit of Torchlight.

I was born 3 weeks after the realease of the first game, but I didn't get a Genesis until 1993.

My dad got one for my birthday, and it came bundled with Sonic 1, I spent most of that day playing it halfway, but never got past Labyrinth Zone.

At that time, I've never heard of Mario until a friend of mine had N64 during its launch in 1996.

While I do enjoy a few of Sonic's modern-day offerings, I always look back to the very first game, being credited to making me the gamer I am now.

Happy Birthday, Sonic!

He's just mad that PSN is still hacked at this moment, that's all.

I was expecting 3D modern stages before I read this month's issue of Nintendo Power, but it looks promising anyway. I've been a fan of most Sonic games since the first one. And fanboys can bitch all they want, I still like Sonic the way he is.

I'm not that big a fan of modern anime. Consider this off my radar.

The protagonist looks familiar...

I'll make sure to come after my Tumblr meetup.

I knew this was going to happen in the first place. Oh well, at least I have it for Steam.

@Shinesprite Whatever NOA was smoking when making that promo, I must join them.

Lulz

"Into hardcore games" isn't a hardcore thing to say.

Thanksgiving... in Japan?

This is why I don't have an iPhone, why should get an iPhone if I have a DSi to play games. And games like Fieldrunners and Zenonia have made it to the DSi.

@Azikira I think both games are equally fun. Though, Cave Story is longer than Shantae, adding more oomph to the replay value.

@GreatCrippler To be honest, none at all.

(breathes deeply)... WA-HOOOOOOO!

@NintyFan Better name than the "Wii 2"

I just downloaded Cave Story today, it's pretty fun. This and Shantae are proof that the DSiWare service has quality games.

@Gavin They're indie companies. And for a company that small, it's really difficult for them to release their original IPs to countries outside of the Americas than it does for the licensed games they often make. So you should cut them some slack and appreciate the hard work they've done to make it possible for an original game like this to be released throughout the world. Otherwise, they'd go bankrupt.

If it sells good in Europe like it did here, then there's a chance that it will be released in Japan and Australia, as well.

It looks like the DS just outsmarted the PSP when it comes to quality shooters.

I think it's because of the peoples' overreaction to Sonic '06 (the game that caused Sonic to hit rock-bottom) that they aren't willing to buy another Sonic game, even if it's good.

Oh, Nintendo Life. Why are you so awesome in giving reviews?

@irken004 nope, i was referring to the jpeg in the article, lol

I came...

It seems that October was the only good month for DSiWare. Unless Cave Story arrives this month.

Wallmasters scare the sh*t out of me.

So this game is about Zombies? So why are they parodying Vampire Romances?

YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY!

See, CN does care for your Childhood Memories. But with a new show coming, they just don't have enough room to put every show into one channel. That's why they removed it and placed it on either Boomerang or on DVD. Though there are still some shows that stayed in the current schedule.

I love everything about this article, if only people understood.

@bboy2970 they haven't said anything about not releasing Super Mario All-Stars just yet. There's still a chance that it might come here.

Hope I win

Now it makes using Netflix easier, and the disc is nothing more than a car decoration.

@SpriteKing Yay, another Shantae fan!

@Mickeymac You don't have to, it's optional.

I'm hoping this would be an optional feature, but it sounds like a useful idea for newbies who have a hard time performing an Ultra.

Local mutiplayer > Online Multiplayer.
BOOMSHAKALAKALAKA! I'll buy this and play it with my brother. He'll have as much fun as I did back in 1993 when I had the Genesis version.

What's also great to hear is how many downloads the game's been getting on the DSi Shop, along with another great game, Zenonia. Yep, Shantae is finally getting the attention it deserves.

Smart move, now if only they can release a Sonic Advance Collection and reprint the Sonic Rush games. Also, try not to screw up Sonic Adventure 2 when porting it to PSN/XBLA.

@Sabrewing Don't worry, since All-Stars is heading to Europe. There's a chance that it might come here, too. If it does, I'll be buying this as a gift for my little brother. He's already growing up on Retro games after I let him play Sonic Mega Collection and LoZ: Ocarina of Time.

@Mickeymac He is related to Mark Bozon, since he's the older brother (hence the balding).While Mark is younger.
Btw, Mark left IGN to become editor for Electronic Gaming Monthly.

It's sad that some people don't appreciate indie companies because they only release their games through download services. Can't they understand that if a company like WayForward gives Shantae RR a retail release and no one buys it, then they'll end up bankrupt.

I really need those N-Points, now!

@zezhyrule No, he means copies of the game that are released before the nationwide release. Too bad I'm not in LA.

The prices haven't changed at all. So why is Toy "R" Us calling this a sale if there's no discount?

The reprints should have been a Nintendo World exclusive, just like Electroplankton. But then again, I'm upstate because I'm at College. So I'm not sure if I'll be able to buy the re-prints at my hometown [NYC]

@WhoKnew You can get an SD card and store some games there. Don't worry, your saved data remains intact when moving it to the SD Card

My 4-year-old brother would love this.

@JumpMad No, it's E10+. Which is odd for a game that has cleavage. It should be T-rated.

I want this game badly!
