SMW commented on Rumour: Nintendo Planning a 3D Mario Release o...:

Makes sense to me. Did you read the message Nintendo sent out to Wiis telling them to upgrade to Wii U? They mentioned Mario. They said to get a Wii U to play the next Mario. Of course they could have meant New Super Mario, though! lol

SMW commented on Nintendo Selling Refurbished 3DS and DSi Consoles:

If they start offering a 3DS XL on this, I may go for it. My 3DS is starting to suffer from the lines caused by having the system closed. It used to be that I could wipe the screen and it'd be good, but these are staying now! Seriously, whats up with that anyway?

SMW commented on Wii U System Update Is Now Live:

Holy flying pigs in Scotland! They fixed the overscan and screen cutoffs with that new setting! Now I can FINALLY see the entire screen!!! I'm one happy goose. (My 1080p hdtv does not allow me to disable overscan.)

SMW commented on Review: Kirby's Adventure (Wii U eShop / NES):

I'd question anyone's decision to turn down this 30 cent gem! Its KIRBY and its 30 CENTS. What else could you possibly use your 30 cents on in this day in age?

Too bad Nintendo doesn't like to fix VC games. True to their form or not, lag shouldn't be all that hard to fix. Just create a faster and stronger virtual NES to play it on.

SMW commented on Believe, People - EarthBound Is Coming To The ...:

I still cannot comprehend this news. After SO many years of being told no, Iwata conquered all and just flat out revealed it. My how have things changed. I wonder what all was changed in order to bring it here. Surely they couldn't have gotten around all that legal mumbo jumbo without tweaking things, could they?

Does this gives a chance for MOTHER 3? They did say that GBA games are coming.

SMW commented on Nintendo Direct: Watch The North American 3DS ...:

I was about to question everything if they were going to port a Link to the Past again, but I was completely surprised that its a NEW GAME! :D

Earthbound? Wait, he said Earthbound, didn't he?! For worldwide release?!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! No way. I saw the logo and heard straight from Iwata but I'm still in denial? Its been way too long, hasn't it?

SMW commented on Nintendo to Pull the Plug on Several Online Wi...:

@EarthboundBenjy
All Dreamcast DLC was/is downloaded through the web browser, which still works. Because of this openness, you can still find all DLC content on fan sites. Same with game saves.

As for online gaming, each game was handled differently. Some servers were from SEGA while others were hosted by individual developers, and others were hosted by GameSpy Tech. A few GameSpy-hosted games are still up like 4x4 Evo. Quake 3 on the other hand, is still online due to it being (mostly) compatible with PC servers. Finally, a small amount of games are online due to unofficial servers.


Now back to the article! Check Mii Out will be missed by me, but perhaps a website could serve just as well. I assume there are Mii-sharing sites which use QR codes? Also the Mario Kart channel refuses to let you do tourneys without WiiConnect24, so its become useless to me now on Wii U.

SMW commented on Club Nintendo Rewards Updated With Some Retro ...:

I'll pass on Super Metroid and pay up my 30 cents to get it on the Wii U!

Mario 64 though I may consider. If I get it, I'd be able to upgrade it to the Wii U VC whenever they get that rolling. Although not being able to tie Wii purchases on the Wii U to Club Nintendo is whats preventing me from going for it. I'll just stick to my N64 copy considering its pretty much identical to this version.

Kirby sounds like the good choice for me. I'm not too big of a pinball fan, but its Kirby!

SMW commented on Epic Games: Developers Can Use Unreal Engine 4...:

Its Mark Rein, I'm always skeptical of anything he says since he tends to speak before he thinks. That and his anti Nintendo attitude.

As for the Unreal Engine, I couldn't care less which version shows up on Wii U. All of them are awesome. People are still finding new things and creating more advanced stuff for Unreal Engine 1! (Look up Unreal 227)

SMW commented on Sonic & All-Stars Racing Transformed Update Go...:

So glad to see such a sweet update to my favorite racing game of all time. Kudos to those who managed to beat traffic attacks on expert; those have been some of the most ridiculous and annoying challenges.

SMW commented on Nintendo To Reveal Its Web Framework For Wii U...:

As a web developer, I am very excited. HTML5 can do some awesome things! I doubt I'd ever make an indie game with it, but this is something I could see myself toying around with! If I were to make an indie game, I'd use something like the UDK.

SMW commented on Netflix Now Available on TVii:

Finally some Netflix support. I haven't used Netflix in ages, but it wanted to update today. Once I got that update, I was able to pick a show on TVii and have it smoothly transition to Netflix and start playing the episode! Nice!

Now if they can update it for DVR support and fix it so it can change my TV inputs and I'll be all set! (My TV has a menu for selecting inputs, and the input button on TVii merely opens and closes the menu. Theres no way to select one.)
