Castlevania Returns already did that. It will be a Metroidvania, without a doubt.

I still need Order of Ecclesia...

Aw man, you guys get Metal Slug 3. You know how long I've been waiting for that? I hope we get it soon. And yes I have the collection, but I want Metal Slug 3 anyways. It's just that good a game.

@Betagam7 I played it in 50 hz just for fun once. It plays just fine. Borders were a bit annoying, but I got used to them in, like, a minute. It's really not that bad in this case. This is coming from somebody who has never had to put up with that stuff before.

Wasn't Super Paper Mario a Launch title? I could've sworn it was...

Lack of games? I got 4 games I want coming out this summer, and only 2 in the fall (early fall I might add). Sure they're not Triple A games from the biggest money grubbers around, but that's the point. These so-called droughts are so the smaller companies can have a fighting chance. If you want new games, expand your horizons. The games you want are there, you just don't know it yet.

@Ryno Good point about the specs. Maybe he just means better specs than the competition?

@ChocoGoldfish Hyping up his own games and making empty promises are the bigger problem than his stance on the industry. He can be "outspoken" all he wants, but no one's gonna take him seriously until he starts delivering. Mayhaps he should spend a little less time talking and more time trying to make his big ideas work, no?

Provacative title and my own dislike for the man aside, reading the actual quote provided, he's actually not saying much bad. In fact, he's saying what we've been saying for a long time: That the Wii U's gonna need a stellar first party line-up.

I'd like to see a little more from a lackluster Peter Molyneux.

That was pretty weird, but I saw a space ship and a giant mech, so I'm pretty much guaranteed to buy it now.

@rjejr What in the world reminds you of Spectrobes?

@Samholy "I had one as a kid"

I had a Gameboy as a kid. Guess what I played? Pokemon and crumby licensed games. Am I gonna say the Gameboy had nothing good besides pokemon because that's all I experienced, though, in light of the dozens of good games on the system? No. I know better than that.

Look, I've played dozens of Game Gear games, probably some you haven't even heard of. I know there are still good ones out there, heck, we still got some that were recently rated that we still need to get. You didn't have the internet when you were a kid. You didn't know what was good back then. And I'm sure you didn't have the whole library of games at your disposal at that rental store. Rather than remain ignorant, how about you educate yourself instead?

For some reason I forgot it was more linear than Monster World. Anyways, very good review, hit all the main points. Only thing I don't agree with is that it's easy, but then again, I don't think I ever used the genie and always saved my potions for the boss, so I guess I made it harder for myself. For me, it's one of the best on the system, an absolute joy to play from start to finish. I look forward to playing it again on VC.

@Shock_Tart It's a SRPG with action elements. They're not showing the Grid based combat, because nobody actually cares about that stuff. Notice they're not fighting eachother.

Dude, I'm 20 years old and I still don't get your angle.

@EvisceratorX It's an old NES game by Namco. The character appears in a lot of Tales games.

@NTELLIGENTMAN

1) You're dreaming if you think they'll charge $10.
2) Where can I find a DS game that isn't Barbie's Dream House that costs less than $5? Heck, where can I find a good one for less than $10?

@zenarium That...that answers that question.

So tempting, but thanks. I just preordered the regular version, I don't want to be bothered to change it now.

^Unlimited continues, so yes.

Want so bad. The cast list just keeps getting better, and the moves more impressive. I'd expect nothing less from Banpresto.

@zenarium You've said the same thing for the past 3 articles about this. Is that really all you're ever gonna say on the topic?

Saw the Backloggery Stream of this the other night. It looked pretty good, but not something I'd want to play. At most I'd get this version for the unlimited continues.

@Samholy Hell no! Please tell me you're joking. No way. Not while there are still good games left to release.

I personally thought it was downright terrible, but oh well.

Sonic Heroes Soundtrack will be mine! I already got Sonic CD's and Adventure 2's soundtracks.

@Burning_Spear It's not that they didn't have imagination - they honestly didn't know how to properly use the Wii remote, and by the time enough of them got the hang of it, too many gamers had moved on that it was no longer profitable to make big games on the Wii anymore.

Yup, totally played nothing this weekend. Tried to, popped some discs in. Didn't even get pass the menues before I got bored and watched more anime.

Twilight Princess was miles better on the Gamecube. End of.

I remember getting Nintendo Power around that time. I remember it, because nearly every Launch game except Wii Sports turned out to be utter crap. I was never more disappointed in my life. I still had hope, though. Metroid Prime 3 was still on the horizon, after all.

I'm half tempted to pick one up now, but the 3DS and my Phat are all I need.

Good to See Monster World among the top Genesis game. Guess that explains how we got MW4. Also glad to see Sin & Punishment at #7. Way to go, UK.

@dark-insanity You know Japan doesn't get a lot of western-made games? Not that most of them care. "western games suck" after all.

Nothing. It'll be all anime this weekend for me. Just got some new ones in I'd like to see.

That's too bad, but I wouldn't have gotten it anyways. I still have Samurai Warriors Chronicles to finish, after all.

You're forgetting Strider before that, way back in February.

@DrDaisy No, it's another website seperate from this one. specializing in VC.

@DrDaisy I noticed that too. Really ticked about it, too. I went to VC-Forums today and none of them new MWIV came out today. >=(

@Pixel-Perfect Not only that, but they only finished an english beta they had, so they definitely didn't start from scratch. Probably took very little effort on their part.

At this rate, Stickle Bricks Babylon 5 will be a reality...

@3DSLUIGI What if he already has Alleyway? Every Breakout clone I've played are all pretty much the same. And besides, The eShop already has Alphabounce, the only Breakout game anyone ever needs.

@HeroOfWaffles Because it would compete with Monster World IV (and Monster Land) which deserves your time and money more anyways.

I personally find them very annoying, and often wonder how the heck people can make money if they sell their games for "whatever you want," especially when so many people who pay as little as a penny if they could.

It's a 2D Platforming Adventure game, kinda like Zelda 2 but way, way better.

^Awesome. Watch out, though, the guy in the trailer makes it look easier than it is. Kinda hard, actually, though rarely frustrating.

There you go.

@hydeks We're getting them, too.

@FrozenCthulhu I hope by "ah well", you mean "Ah well, I'll get it anyways."

@FonistofCruxis It's simple really: Do you like good platformers, yes or no?

All it needs is a friend option in my opinion. Totally getting it, now.
