Lunapplebloom commented on Nintendo Download: 23rd May (North America):
I just upgraded 2 Kirby games I had gotten before on Wii to Wii U VC. It now shows that I can get Kirby's Dream Course for free. I'm so happy I waited on getting that one. Not bad getting all three games on Wii U VC for $3 bucks, now I can try the one I didn't own out.

Lunapplebloom commented on Poll: Do You Follow and Watch Rival Console Re...:
I own both a Wii U and a PS3, though there is one difference. That being I went and got the Wii U right away, but waited about 3 and a half years before getting a PS3. I wanted it mostly to have a Blue-ray player that could do a few HD games I had been looking at for a while on the side. I'll probably do the same thing with the PS4, give it some time to get some games I want, and for the price to drop, before even consider getting it.
The Xbox brand doesn't interest me at all, so I'll be continuing to steer clear of them for now.

Lunapplebloom commented on Kevin Conroy Inadvertently Confirms Role in Fu...:
Kevin Conroy is fantastic, and I always get a kick out of hearing him doing Batman.
This news doesn't really surprise me though. It looked like they were wanting to make Batman a yearly deal like with other big budget titles. Glad to hear Conroy is back though.

Lunapplebloom commented on Review: Resident Evil Revelations (Wii U):
@bezerker99 It's $49.99 in the Wii U Eshop.
Good review there. I've already gone through this once though, and I don't particularly want retread the same territory for only a few extra features. Also the fact that while I found Revelations ok, I felt a little sick at some points during the main campaign. My gore meter is not very tolerant, but it wasn't as bad as what I've seen in past titles. I still hold onto my 3DS copy as I like doing the raid mode with friends, but that's about it.

Lunapplebloom commented on New Wii U System Update Goes Live:
My Wii U seemed to crash a lot more often after the system boost update from a while ago. It was mostly on things like Hulu Plus and Netflix, but was nonetheless annoying.
And the Wii U menu seemed to be more sluggish overall, though once the jumping into the game was initiated, it went super fast and smooth. I hope this one fixes my problem with it.

Lunapplebloom commented on Insomniac Not Working On Wii U, Considers It M...:
No real lose here. I've always considered Insomniac to be Sony's game development studio anyways. Shame though, as the do make some pretty great games. Ratchet & Clank is a great series, and I think it would fit rather well with Nintendo's Roster of characters. That franchise is one of the reasons I got a PS3, as well as for the Blue-Ray player.
I can't wait for their first movie.

Lunapplebloom commented on Weirdness: Nintendo of Europe Didn't Want "Boi...:
I would have preferred that NA didn't use this version of the script. It's not funny in my eyes, and while Chrom and Fredrick do talk of something similar, it's not referring to anything in particular.
#8
Lunapplebloom commented on Nintendo Won't Be Holding A Large-Scale Press ...:
Well this is quite interesting news. I would have thought a big conference would have been great. I mean, even though there isn't any new hardware to announce, it still seems silly not to shout about your games during one of the biggest gaming events of the year. I'm still excited either way in any case. Bring on Mario Kart!

Lunapplebloom commented on Wii U Virtual Console Launch Lineup Is Revealed:
@Chriiis I know, just reiterating it in hopes of Ninty seeing the demand. Squeaky wheel gets the oil after all. And you have a good point, though hopefully if they are secretly working on Gamecube games, they release them in a more timely manner.
#10
Lunapplebloom commented on Wii U Virtual Console Launch Lineup Is Revealed:
I must say the actual new releases for the Wii U VC specifically is fairly underwhelming. Even the Wii had a much stronger lineup when the VC service started on it. I'll still be upgrading all my previous purchases though, but it would have been nice to see more titles making it to the service than that.
Oh, and don't forget Gamecube in the future, Ninty. Even though I have all the greats from the system for the most part, having everything in one spot would be great.

Oh man... I never realized there was such a talented user in our midst. This is a great Tribute album, and thank you so much for sharing it.
#12
Lunapplebloom commented on Video: SEGA Teases Possible Castle of Illusion...:
Add to the fact that it says 1990-2013 Disney, and this most definitely is a Castle of Illusion remake. I can't wait to see more, cause that trailer was awesome!
#13
Lunapplebloom commented on The Story of an Abandoned Mega Man FPS, Maveri...:
@Raylax Though the look of this is obviously not what we are used to, I would have been willing to give it a chance. And with it being only an early test build, many things could have been vastly improved on with a bit of development time behind it.
#14
Lunapplebloom commented on The Story of an Abandoned Mega Man FPS, Maveri...:
I would have loved to have seen how this would have panned out. And with ex-Retro developers attached to this as well, this could have been a big hit.
Darn you Capcom.
#15
Lunapplebloom commented on Nnooo: Australian Ratings System Prevents Indi...:
As a guy with part Aussie, I find this not so surprising. When you look at the retail scene there, everything is usually more expensive in the first place. Though they have made some progress in recent years.
This sucks though, and Australia should try to rectify it.

I never heard about this man till now, though I may have forgotten somehow...
In anycase, he shall be missed by many.

Lunapplebloom commented on SEGA Still Not Talking About Aliens: Colonial ...:
This game is starting to become like an old wound that never goes away. Come on, SEGA, just say it's cancelled or whatever already so we can all move on.

Lunapplebloom commented on New "Luigi Code" To Provide a Fresh Take on Vi...:
Was this the reason the site was down?
But you guys almost got me... Then I realized again that it's April 1st over there, and the mainland States. Well played Thomas... Well played.
But if something like this did happen, it would be great!

Lunapplebloom commented on Citizens of Earth Prepares to Invade Wii U eShop:
To far off to say either way on this one, though the idea sounds interesting. Anything that is somewhat like Earthbound should be good though.
#20
Lunapplebloom commented on DuckTales: Remastered:
Awesome news for sure. As someone who never played the original game, but loved the show back in the day, this is going to be a real treat. I hope it turns out even better than I think.

@Joshers744 Indeed! A themepark by the fans, for the fans! We could all be hired for their own imagineering team...
Sigh... If only...

Lunapplebloom commented on Miyamoto Teases the Possibility of a Real "Nin...:
I'd love to see this happen!
@Joshers744 You weren't the only one it seems. Even I had ideas that I discussed with my brother a few years ago.
#23
Lunapplebloom commented on Review: HarmoKnight (3DS eShop):
Solid review @Damo.
I really liked the demo. It gave me a real sense of what could possibly come, so this is going to be a soon buy for me. I just can't afford it straight away from all these games coming out. And then there are the games I'm working on too... I can't keep up. D:

Lunapplebloom commented on Talking Point: The Download or Disc Dilemma:
I go physical as much as I possibly can.
I'm a big game collector (If you don't believe me, check my Backloggery.
), and I've always had a love for those boxed copies you can get on the shelf. Truth be told though, there are some advantages, especially for 3DS. Having them all on the system like the article said is much more convenient. But with convenience comes the cost of not being able to let a friend borrow it, or a sibling not being able to play it without having to let them use your console. (Which I hate to do, since I'm very conscientious about my handhelds.)
Then there are the added incentives with finding the physical game really cheap a year or more down the line, and the ability to trade in a rotten one. I'm just going to continue down the physical path for the most part now, until I can't anymore.

Lunapplebloom commented on Review: LEGO City: Undercover (Wii U):
Great Review. I just put it down for preoder the other day, so it's good to get comfirmation about it's quality. Can't wait to see how it stacks up.
#26
Lunapplebloom commented on Four Classics Available Now in the Latest Club...:
Already have all except Starship Defence. I may take a gander, but I'll probably pass on it.
#27
Lunapplebloom commented on Special Edition Pikachu 3DS XL Shows Up In Nor...:
That commercial was awesome, just like the Luigi's Mansion one that showed up a little while ago. They really know how to make those commercials for the system. Hopefully this means some great Wii U ones once the major games from the Big N start coming out.
@SMEXIZELDAMAN I wish I could get a quarter for each person who says that.
#28
Lunapplebloom commented on Launch of Professor Layton's Final Adventure F...:
Not the best numbers, but digital sales could also be what's affecting it, as well as major games coming out soon.
I've been with the series ever since I got the first one at Circuit City, and have waited anxiously for each subsequent one to reach our shores. When I finally am able to play this, it will be a very fond farewell to the Professor that taught me that a game with a great plot and puzzles sprinkled throughout can be fun.
Oh, and that every puzzle has an answer.

Lunapplebloom commented on Pachter: Wii U Will Sell Between 30 to 50 Mill...:
Oh look! Michael Pachter said something!

Moving on.

Lunapplebloom commented on Luigi's Mansion: Dark Moon:
We're closing in fast now. I can't wait to finally get this sequel after so long. I just hope it lives up to the original and surpasses it.
#31
Lunapplebloom commented on Rayman Legends Challenge Mode Coming Exclusive...:
At least we got something. (Albeit, I would still prefer getting the game on the February target date, but at least the bigwigs were merciful enough to do this.)
I'll still be picking it up whenever it comes out. Can't let this lovingly talented team that made the game have their efforts go to waste.
#32
Lunapplebloom commented on Masahiro Sakurai: Stories in Video Games Can b...:
I think he gets it about right.
While I do enjoy cinematic games at times, it should never come at the expense of the gameplay. One of the things to Kid Icarus: Uprisings success, was how fun it was to play, while having a great plot to go with it that never felt unnecessary. As he said, it all meshed together.
Still want a sequel in some form or another though hopefully, but Smash Bros. will make up for it.
#33
Lunapplebloom commented on Talking Point: What Games Are You Playing This...:
Surprisingly, Final Fantasy XIII. I just can't get enough of it for some reason at the moment, so that will occupy most of my time. I'll also slide in a little Sly Cooper: Thieves in Time most likely on the side as well.
#34
Lunapplebloom commented on Rayman Legends No Longer a Wii U Exclusive, De...:
This is not what I wanted to see when I woke up in the morning...
I wouldn't have a problem with it also releasing for the other systems, but to delay the Wii U version just because of that is unfair... But I guess that's life for ya. I'll still be picking this game up regardless for the console it was intended for, but this hurts nonetheless.
#35
Lunapplebloom commented on Fire Emblem: Awakening Was Almost Set On Mars:
Now that is a thing of interest, though I'm glad they stayed true to the series. Fire Emblem on Mars would have been to much of a departure.
Also, even though I am a seasoned player, I won't be joining him in Lunatic Mode. As his development producer Tohru Narihiro said, "lunatic is beyond me".

Lunapplebloom commented on Review: Fire Emblem: Awakening (3DS):
And for that, @Aqueous, you shall pay dearly from Nintendo's legal team.
But seriously, enjoy the game you lucky guy. 
#37
Lunapplebloom commented on Review: Fire Emblem: Awakening (3DS):
@theblackdragon Indeed, you're right. I just wanted to give my experience with the past. But you're right, it's really not a confirmation on whether it does or not. Your welcome in anycase.
Glad to hear about the amount of save slots from someone in the know. Thanks Jon.

Would want one of these, but I've already gotten my DJ-Pon-3 wallet, so I'm set.
#39
Lunapplebloom commented on Review: Fire Emblem: Awakening (3DS):
A good review Jon. Pretty much all the bases were covered, and it was interesting to read.
I'll be getting this in do time, loved all the previous games in the series.
@theblackdragon It should have multiple slots. Every Fire Emblem game I've played that is portable has at least 2, so you should be fine in that regard. Hope you enjoy it.

Ballon Fight for me. 30 cents is a real steal for that one. I may look into some other downloads later.
#41
Lunapplebloom commented on Talking Point: The Wii U Virtual Console Tria...:
Interesting article.
I for one am extremely happy with this new initiative, especially since I'll have to pay a fee any was to play my previous purchases on my Wii U. Still think it's a silly idea, but I guess it's better than it could have been.
#42
Lunapplebloom commented on Talking Point: Wii U Direct - Tell Us What You...:
Ther is really just to much awesome to put into words from this direct. Release dates for some Wii U games (specifically Pikmin 3) should have been made known, but a very good lineup so far.
Can't wait to see how 3D Mario looks at E3.
#43
Lunapplebloom commented on Talking Point: Pokémon X & Y Provide a Timely...:
Just saw the trailer, and color me impressed. It's good to see that they are finally going with the 3D model route for this one with the leap in graphical capabilities. Also that they get released the same time is also a big step in the right direction for the series. Having that initial experience with multiple countries at the same time was totally unexpected.
#44
Lunapplebloom commented on Nintendo Download: 27th December 2012 (North A...:
Nice selection up for this week. I got an Eshop card for Christmas, so I may go with Fluidity, and last week's Crimson Shroud. I'll look into Mario and Megaman maybe when I have a 5 dollar code from my Wii U.

Good luck to those that entered the contest.

Lunapplebloom commented on Talking Point: The Wii U eShop Needs Patience:
I'm fine with how it is at the moment. My wallet can't handle much more. Though some software would be appreciated in the future.

Lunapplebloom commented on Nintendo Network Premium Website Goes Live:
@THENAMESNORMAN Actually Sony's Playstation Network offers, in my opinion, the best digital incentive program on any games console. Not saying that we should all start complaining about Nintendo's effort, but just bear in mind that the competition has an overall better structured service than Nintendo's at the moment.

An ok showing. Would have wanted some release dates other than vague windows, but seeing the games in action looked great. Fire Emblem has been marked down on my calender.
