Retro_Gamer commented on Twinbee is Your Next 3D Classic on 3DS:
TwinBee in 3D? Yes please! I'm sure we'll be getting it since we got the games on wii's virtual console.

Retro_Gamer commented on You Can Buy Your Zelda Symphony Tickets Today:
If I was near LA, I'd totally shell out.

Retro_Gamer commented on NES and Game Boy Advance Games Coming to 3DS V...:
I wasn't even angry about the price drop, we all saw it coming, it makes sense. Now I'm looking forward to playing some Yoshi's Island!

Retro_Gamer commented on Solatorobo Dev Would Like to Work on Mega Man ...:
Do it.

Retro_Gamer commented on Gremlins Gizmo Trailer Spotted at Comic-Con:
Does this mean another movie reboot? I don't see any other reason why they would be making a Gremlins video game.

Retro_Gamer commented on Preview: Super Mario (3DS):
This game looks more awesome every time I see it, really looking forward to playing it.
#7
Retro_Gamer commented on Capcom Apologises for Poorly Worded Tweet:
Well they obviously messed up on their simple tweet yesterday and admitted it, I'm still disappointed about Legends 3 being cancelled but at least that last part in the new tweet made me feel better.
#8
Retro_Gamer commented on Capcom Blames the Fans for Mega Man Legends 3 ...:
Huh, well that's a very odd statement, I mean Mega Man is what originally MADE Capcom, how can there not be an audience? Perhaps they meant not enough fans on the 3DS? Blaming the fans/customers was the worst way to handle this.
#9
Retro_Gamer commented on Irrational Has No Plans for Wii U Games Yet:
Reading the interview it sounds like he thinks the Wii U is a good idea, but that's about it. He seems to be more on the Vita side of things, even making a new Bioshock for it.
#10
Retro_Gamer commented on Crytek: Wii U Technology a Far Cry From Wii Ha...:
You guys just had to mention Timesplitters didn't you? That's enough to get anyone whose played those games excited.
#11
Retro_Gamer commented on Netflix Arrives on 3DS in North America Tomorrow:
Wow, that's really good news. Can't wait to see how it all runs on a 3DS, I wonder if they'll ever do 3D movies.
#12
Retro_Gamer commented on Check Out Retro's Unreleased American Football...:
Wow, the movements for those models are very impressive, especially considering it's Gamecube tech.
#13
Retro_Gamer commented on Square Enix's Final Fantasy 3DS Game is a Litt...:
Well that's pretty disappointing, with the original DS they gave us Final Fantasy III in the beginning, a real FF game.
#14
Retro_Gamer commented on Sony: Wii U is No Threat, Says "Welcome to 200...:
This is just one of the reasons I don't like Sony as a company, they just always come off as ignorant pricks and really don't seem to understand video games at all.
#15
Retro_Gamer commented on Miyamoto: Virtual Boy Games on 3DS Could Happen:
It's a little piece of Nintendo history that would be really cool to play, even if there are only a handful of games.
#16
Retro_Gamer commented on Translated Episodes of Game Center CX to be Ai...:
Pfft, I'm the true "Retro Game Master".
Seems like an interesting show though, I'd totally check it out.
#17
Retro_Gamer commented on Nintendo to Update Wii U Prototype Hardware in...:
Man, Nintendo really seems to be dancing around the Wii U's graphical capabilities. I'm sure it will look pretty decent and Nintendo can really push hardware like we've seen with the Wii.
#18
Retro_Gamer commented on Super Mario 3DS Has More Thrills, Less Explora...:
I always felt Mario suited the more linear "get to the end" game play more than exploration, that's what I play Zelda for. Back when Sunshine was released most people enjoyed the bonus stages way more than the bigger exploring levels. This is also why I enjoy the Galaxy games more than any other 3D Mario, it's closest to the original Super Mario Brothers formula, especially the sequel.
#19
Retro_Gamer commented on Review: Donkey Kong (Game Boy):
I agree with this review saying it's one of the best Mario games ever made, it's defiantly a masterpiece in my eyes. I easily prefer it over the more lemmings-like Mario vs Donkey Kong.
#20
Retro_Gamer commented on There Will Be No Zelda 25th Anniversary Collec...:
I can't complain, what they are doing for Zelda's anniversary is much better than what they did with Mario's. Link's awakening at VC launch, four swords for FREE, ocarina of time 3D, skyward sword, zelda wiimote and concerts, that's pretty freaking awesome.
#21
Retro_Gamer commented on Surprise, SEGA Bringing High Definition Sonic ...:
Since there were a ton of Sonic games on the Wii this comes as no surprise, Sonic Generations on the other hand would of been great.
#22
Retro_Gamer commented on SEGA Unveils 20th Anniversary Sonic Figurine:
Guess I'm going to play through all three classic sonic games next Thursday, gotta celebrate with the best!
#23
Retro_Gamer commented on Nintendo Download: 16th June 2011 (North America):
I can't believe there are actually people complaining, Donkey Kong 94' is one of the best games on the Game Boy and I'm really surprised to see it released on 3DS already.
#24
Retro_Gamer commented on Sony President Thinks 3DS is Just an Updated DS:
I think it's still a little too early to be saying anything about the 3DS, the original DS also had a pretty slow start and look what eventually happened there. In fact, this is the same battle all over again, the 3DS actually brings something new to the table while the NGP once again has better graphics and more media crap (don't get me wrong, PSP does have a few good titles).
#25
Retro_Gamer commented on Mega Man: Dr Wily's Revenge Coming to 3DS VC:
This is great news, from what I remembered this game played just like NES titles. Hopefully this means Kirby's Dreamland has a chance to be released as well.
#26
Retro_Gamer commented on Here's Japan's 3DS eShop Launch Day Line-Up:
Kirby, Mario AND Megaman? I'd be very satisfied with that line up, bring it on.
#27
Retro_Gamer commented on Rumour: Nintendo to Reveal New Zelda Game at E3:
Maybe this has something to do with that Zelda Universe that was registered for an ESRB rating?
#28
Retro_Gamer commented on Sonic Generations 3DS to Spin Dash Stores in N...:
Very excited for this, it's really cool that they're adding in different levels from the console versions, I'm going to have to buy both now!
#29
Retro_Gamer commented on Rumour: 3D Classic Excitebike Free for North A...:
"We wheelie hope this is true."
Brilliant.
#30
Retro_Gamer commented on Japanese Gamers Put Off by High Price of 3DS:
It's a little pricey considering most people can get similar graphics and more games on the cheaper PSP. Personally my problem with it is the current game selection and certain features of the system not being available at launch.
#31
Retro_Gamer commented on Alleyway Bouncing to 3DS VC:
If it's really cheap then I'd buy it, these simple games are great for killing time. Also, it has Mario in there somewhere.
#32
Retro_Gamer commented on Hideo Kojima Busy Getting Snake Eater 3D Ready...:
The crouch walk is really going to improve the game greatly, I'm interested to see what other new features might be added, maybe bring back the online mode from Subsistence? Co-op would be neat, but since the game was never built around that it might make things too easy.
#33
Retro_Gamer commented on Talking Point: Should Nintendo Try to Recaptur...:
It seems like Nintendo is doing well enough without catering to the "hardcore" crowd so I don't see why they should change that. I honestly think this hardcore label needs to be dropped.
#34
Retro_Gamer commented on Mario and Link Make eShop Cards Look Good:
Theses would make me impulse buy points more often, much more appealing than the cards people have spotted in the states.
#35
Retro_Gamer commented on Canadian 3DS Summer Tour Details:
I'd imagine this would be great for street pass, might check it out if they stop here.
#36
Retro_Gamer commented on Nintendo Download: 23rd May 2011 (North America):
Seems to be mostly puzzle filler since they know lots of people are still busy playing through Chrono Trigger.
#37
Retro_Gamer commented on High Voltage Responds Badly to Scathing Condui...:
Do we know for sure this is from High Voltage? It could just be from a few angry fans of the game. Either way, it shouldn't affect anybody's decision to buy the game.
#38
Retro_Gamer commented on Rumour: Project Cafe Controller Contains a Camera:
All these rumors are just proving how everybody really has no idea at all what Project Cafe is going to be, it's still entertaining to read though, I wonder what will be next.
#39
Retro_Gamer commented on Barry Burton Rounds Off The Mercenaries 3D Cas...:
This game is looking pretty good, never played the mercenaries mode in RE4 but I'm guessing it's more arcade like? Should be fun multiplayer either way.
#40
Retro_Gamer commented on Sail the Tides of Destiny with New Rune Factor...:
Never did try the first game on Wii, the RPG elements sound neat and all but it just feels like I've done the Harvest Moon thing too much now.
#41
Retro_Gamer commented on Sonic Generations 3DS Rumours Gain Speed:
I really think it's going to be released on 3DS, it should be interesting to see how it holds up. I really hope the 2D parts control better than the floaty controls in Sonic Colors, you never really felt in control and the jumping was horrible.
#42
Retro_Gamer commented on Kirby's New DS Game Has a July Date with Japan:
Sounds like a different game with a Kirby theme slapped on to help sell it. All I really want is Kirby's Dreamland on VC, then I'd be happy, although that new Wii game looks pretty decent so far, hopefully it doesn't change the classic game play too much.
#43
Retro_Gamer commented on Nintendo Download: 16th May 2011 (North America):
With Chrono Trigger in the list, it makes every other game look like garbage. Some people who own the DS version will probably pass this up, but I think it's worth a measly 8 bucks to play the game on your TV instead. I wonder how well the original translation holds up, I find Final Fantasy 3's to be pretty awful.
#44
Retro_Gamer commented on Up to 20 SEGA Games Could be Available on 3DS ...:
20 games? That's a lot of games being made in one year, I can't help but question the quality of these, I'm guessing mostly ports and Game Gear games.
#45
Retro_Gamer commented on Features: Re-Examining Zelda: Twilight Princess:
This was a really good read and I agree that Twilight Princess seems to get better every time you play it (although I enjoyed from my first play through). I found the darker theme takes getting used to, especially after playing the bright and appealing Windwaker. I think the sword fighting is the best in the series so far, in fact the whole game felt more based around combat, sort of like....Zelda 2?
#46
Retro_Gamer commented on Got an Xbox 360 or PlayStation 3?:
I say the same as Atomic_3DS_Man. I'd check out the other site if you were concentrating on 360 games instead of just Kinect, I don't play the HD systems for motion games, that's what the Wii is for.
#47
Retro_Gamer commented on Your First Look at Pandora's Tower is Below Th...:
Trailer doesn't really explain much but it still seems interesting enough, if there's any word of this being released outside of Japan then I'll keep an eye on it.
#48
Retro_Gamer commented on Nintendo Buys Up TheLastStory.com, Points to N...:
I could see both this and Xenoblade being announced at E3 for a NA release, which I really hope does happen since Last Story looks like a fantastic game.
#49
Retro_Gamer commented on Nintendo Announces North American 3DS Games Li...:
Hmm, none of the games really appeal to me. Still going to get the system but a game to go with it is going to be a hard choice, I really thought Kid Icarus was going to be a launch title.

Sounds like it could be pretty good, the game has defiantly caught my eye now.
