Retroking1981 commented on FIFA 14 Details Announced, Wii U Version Not I...:
I think we've seen the last of EA games on Nintendo formats. For whatever reason they don't (haven't ever?) got on.
For those saying it don't matter, it most definitely does. EA games are huge and them turning their backs will make others follow.
This is very bad news for Nintendo imo.

Superb, thanks NL. Best independent Nintendo site by miles, been a regular reader since it was vcreviews.com
I've put £25 on my 3DS and £75 on the WiiU. Anyone got good recommendations?

Checking peoples pics on Miiverse it seems some screen shots have boarders and others dont. Any reasons for this? Could it be because of individual set ups?

Nintendo Life, investigate this. Add me on Wii U, (my name is the same) and check the pic I just posted on Miiverse!

If this is 60Hz can someone explain to me why my US SNES displays it at fullt screen yet through the Wii U it has boarders? Is it something simple like RGB versus HDMI?

Retroking1981 commented on Feature: Olympics Fever on Nintendo Systems:
Did Track & Field on NES ever come out in the UK? I love the sequel and have been hunting for the original since 1991, lol. I've seen Spanish versions (which carries the official Barcelona'92 lisence) and US versions on ebay but never a PAL A version.
Oh and International Track & Field 2000 is the best Athletics game ever!

This won't sell that well for the same reasons FFXI didnt

What are these DSi exclusive games that are mentioned that make use of the extra prossessing power?
"A notable absence was the GBA cart slot, meaning that there was no backwards compatibility on the system, unless you count original DS software (which you shouldn't). Some titles were released that were DSi exclusive, though were few in number."
I get the impression its not DSiware games from the way it's written.

The GBA rumble pak isnt a big enough deal to mention althoug I would say that the N64 ram expansion is, it was required to play quite a few games including a Zelda.

I must be the only person in the world who actually like this. Already got it on NES and VC though so ill have to pass this one by.

Stupidity of the highest order. Look how poor core game sales are in europe, eg .Metroid other M. Nintendo chose the wrong market to release these games in. 1 in America would have outsold all 3 in europe!

My fav Sonic memory was paying the original on the MegaDrive back in the day. A friend and I played the first level for hours trying to do it as quick as possible. We got it donw to 26 seconds. Anyone beat that time?
