"Extra Modes are now locked untill conditions fullfilled." - This part scares me because, frankly, I suck at this game but love playing through the Extra Modes.
@18, 43, 59: Heck yeah, I read "Epic Yam" and I thought the creative juices were REALLY flowing. Epic Yarn sounds a little lame, but compared to Epic Yam what doesn't sound a little lame? But think of the possibilities... Maybe Kirby could eat this epic yam and transform into something all-powerful in order to fight some mysterious force. I don't know. I'm not a game developer, all I know is that Epic Yam would be an instant classic.
I'm not sure I saw the same thing as everybody else! It looked like Indiana Jones meets buying things from the original Zelda. This doesn't really pop out at me like Cave Story did.
The only thing stopping this from being a 10 is the map problem and the music looping "problem" (in quotes because although its noticeable that loop points are missing, I really don't care) - which weren't even mentioned in the review. I'd have given it a 10. It has been a pleasure all the way through.
you've "heard reports"?? You mean nobody at NintendoLife is a big enough EarthBound fan to have preordered this while the fan translation was in full swing? I think my EarthBound needs may be misrepresented around here
Retro Game Challenge is money. I've been pushing it on some of my friends and they all love it. The problem seems to be that most people just don't know about it.
This game is beyond awesome. Its a shame so few people have heard of it. Easily one of the best games on the Wii. Opoona is charming, engaging and has a lot of quirks that aren't just forced or throw aways. I've heard people compare it to EarthBound because of its relative obscurity and then cult fascination, but truthfully Opoona needs a lot more cult fanaticism before it can be compared to EarthBound
I can't stomach the $15 price tag for WoG just yet. I'm going to need an extremely positive review and a few slow weeks in order to amp up my desire. Secret of Mana, however, needs no such salesmanship!
