Wow never heard of this series... I have all Streets of Rage and Golden Axe on Wii VC along with Final Fight 2+3 and I believe Double Dragon 2. Looks like I need to pick up this game.

Ways developers and users are using Miiverse is so awesome.

I prefer physical copies for all my games (only took the Club Nintendo extra coins offer for NSMB2 digital). So NSMB2 was my only retail game that I bought on the eshop. I however saw many benefits of having Animal Crossing always on my 3DS. I believe this is a perfect game for digital. So I am very happy to buy it digital and this is coming from someone that wants all physical copies.

@Captain_Gonru
Funny that classic NES games on ereader were about 5-6 dollars (for the cards to scan to play the NES game). Ereader obviously didn't become much of a hit but I believe Nintendo killed it sooner than it should have due to realizing people were willing to pay $20 per NES classic on a GBA cartridge. While you had to invest 20-30 for the ereader (believe it was more close to 30 when it came out) the NES games were a 1/4 or so of the cost of the GBA NES classics. I mainly bought the ereader for the GC Animal Crossing cards. Some cards had cool Nintendo patterns for Able Sisters, clothes, furniture, etc.. Plus I used to collect sports card when I was younger (sometimes still buy rookie singles or past players I used to like a lot) so the whole ereader card thing was more appealing to me than most people. The multiple card swipes was a little pain though but not unbearable. It is a shame they couldn't get it down to two or so swipes instead of 5-8 or whatever it was to load a game.

Got it... Don't care about any reviews. I love it. Nothing would stop me from buying this game besides my life terminating.

@ungibbed
Care to share those or gift Super Mario Bros and LoZ to others? I haven't spotted a code for either game on the internet for AC:GC. I know Punch-out!! is on the AC (GC version) which is a rare title. To my knowledge they were going to release Super Mario Bros and LoZ on AC but never did due to releasing the games onto GBA for $20 each. Did you get the games through ereader (AC had a ton of ereader cards)? I still have the ereader and it was a "cool" idea at the time even though you had to scan multiple cards. The games were only about 5 dollars on ereader while they released the other classic NES Nintendo games on GBA for ~$20.

Loved this game and I still have my copy. It was a mighty fine port and I don't think they could have done a better job with hardware limitations of GBA. Shame that it was one of many factors that led to the collapse of Crawfish.

9.5/10 or 5/5 Netflix rating.

Going to post on his y can't Metroid crawl post letting him know he has an article on NintendoLife about his posts.

News article was pretty pointless but I did enjoy looking at her picture.

@Funbunz Did your spring break on your NES? I remember friend's NES loading spring breaking and we would put game we wanted to play in first then jam another game in the console on top of first game to get the game you wanted to play to stay down. Ghetto fix!

@Peach64 Now it is ranked #40. Seems to be still climbing. If it cracks the top 20 would you at least admit that it is positive news. You seem to love to spin anything positive about Nintendo into something negative and anything negative you jump all over. You make yourself seem like a Nintendo troll. I will ignore your posts from now on.

@Gameday
Yep, been getting ton of playback issues on mainly ad loads for Hulu+. I've been complaining on Miiverse for quite sometime (along with a ton of other users). I finally had enough and cancelled my subscription. If they release a patch for Hulu that makes streaming as decent as it is on Netflix then I might consider paying for a subscription again. They seemed to fixed the hard freeze during Hulu streaming but then caused playback errors (never had them before the last recent Hulu patch). So they fix one thing and cause another problem. Hulu is highly incompetent. Heck, they were supposed to release a 3DS app last December...

Never used disc cleaning on my Wii but maybe I'll buy one of these kits in a couple months. I waited till Smash and Kart were released before I got the Wii though.

@Zyph
Wouldn't the sounds simply be the Wii U reading whatever disc you have in the console at start up?

Basic model should have been priced at 250 and deluxe at 300 from the start.

Gen 4 = EA lives in its own secluded world. If only I lived in a world secluded from EA. EA is cancer.

Every Nintendo fan should boycott EA.

EA can **** off. Stop posting anything dealing with EA. EA boycott since late 90s. I haven't regretted it one bit. EA just plain sucks and ruins IPs of companies they buy. Video game industry is full of immature *****.

There are tons of crappy mobile games which allows EA's mediocre titles to stand out. No wonder why they love the mobile market.

@Rafie SF4 is pretty far down the list. Nice attempt though because I thought it did better till I looked at sales.

Smash Bros Brawl - 11.63m
Tekken 3 (PS)- 7.16m
Smash Bros Melee - 7.07m
SF2 The Road Warrior (SNES) - 6.3m
Tekken 2 (PS) - 5.74
Smash Bros - 5.55m
SF2 Turbo (SNES) - 4.1m
Tekken Tag Tournament (PS2) - 4.05m
Tekken 5 (PS2) - 3.87m

Brawl decent increase from Melee was probably thanks to the much larger console sales from GC-Wii. Melee would have probably hit 10m if the GC sold more than 22m. So a few games come close to Smash but they were released on PS1 and SNES. Basically, Smash smashes the competition.

@shonenjump86 Smash Bros. which obliterates all other fighters in sales says hello.

Never really buy into third party offerings of accessories but one can't deny that 15 for original 3DS and 20 for XL is awesome battery life.

@Ristar42 Yes, there is room for improvement. I knew you were really meaning account linking and dealing with lost or stolen systems (one doesn't have to worry too much about reliability considering this is Nintendo and not Microsoft/Sony although there is still chance of reliability issues). I mainly wanted you to put the full response down to clarify the situation.

I'm glad they included touch controls to locate my beer in the bar. Hopefully, I can use it to zoom in on body parts of an attractive female. Just needs to include a drunk jerk that tries to pick fights. Beer goggles mode would be awesome too.

I believe my post can be summed up in two words: Road Redemption

@Ristar42 I have an account on 3DS & Wii U eshops. It is called a Club Nintendo account which I've had since the Wii.

They can be like EA and be late to the game if they so desire. There will be a decent amount of indie success stories (Trine 2 can be considered a success already) before they even get around to thinking about releasing. If your game is good then people will buy it. Wii U userbase will be around 8-10m by years end with this company still twiddling its thumbs. Their game probably isn't that great just like the EA games they sent to fail (NFS only port that actual effort was put into). This title looks okay for a 2d fighter but nothing special.

If they are so concerned about eshop presence why not put it on 3DS? I believe this game would perform better on 3DS which obviously has an established eshop presence with many success stories.

Enjoyed Bookstore Dream and I like Game Dev Story so I'll probably pick this game up even though I'd have to shuffle DSiware games around. At $2 a 6 rating from NL doesn't scare me.

@Gameday Looks like you fell victim to Pachter's lies. Nothing to show = lie , Not going to be at E3 = lie. Try not to obtain your Nintendo information from a Nintendo hater like Pachter.

I am pretty upset that NintendoLife would even publish this bs and not refute his obvious lies. Just a copy and paste job with a half butt attempt in first paragraph not even fully explaining the situation. Get better at countering obvious lies NintendoLife or get another job. Nintendo will be at E3 showcasing the next Mario, Mario Kart, Smash, etc. They just aren't doing the big event. Instead they are doing smaller events (aka Wii U showcase). I'm done with this site till they get better "journalist" that actually stick up for Nintendo by countering false information.

Goodbye NintendoLife till you get better at reporting the actual truth and not just posting flame bait articles for hits. Cheap tactics used by crappy video game sites. You obviously only care about hits and not reporting the facts. Do me a favor and ban me from this site.

@dumedum I wouldn't mind paying to support a site that didn't publish Nintendo troll articles.

@jayblue Same could be said about Sony's financial status. Their fanbase will drive them into bankruptcy.

I say we boycott Nintendo troll articles posted on NintendoLife. This is my last post on such articles here. Keep it up and I will say goodbye to this site. Not like I'd be missed.

Nothing to show.... Why is article labelled skipping when they are just not holding a traditional conference? Wii U software showcase at this years E3 says hello. They are still showing a lot of Wii U games at E3. Pachter is a joke and this is a typical Nintendo troll response from him. Screw Pachter and I will never click on a Pachter article again. Good riddance. Shame on you NintendoLife for publishing this crap.

Nice to see you clarify traditional conference yet keep the false/misinformed article title. Title should be changed considering you are just fuelling the false information of Nintendo "skipping" E3. Way to drop the ball NintendoLife. At the very least put quotes around the word skipping. Easy to see how big of a joke video game "journalism" is.

So Frostbite 3 works on PS3 and 360 yet it can't on Wii U? DICE and EA must think Nintendo gamers are dumb.

Let us look at engines that can run on Wii U...

http://gamrconnect.vgchartz.com/post.php?id=5326987

Hmmm nothing fishy here.

@MadAdam81 Yea, I know the Wii U will be underpowered compared to Microsoft and Sony's next systems. I'm just stating that the full power of Wii U is still not known. When you have users on N4G stating they figured out the power of the GPU yet they don't know what a decently high percentage of the chip does then no one in the general public knows for sure the true power of the Wii U considering it is a custom GPU.

@banacheck Yea, I have a hard time believing you when you think the only advantage the Wii U has over PS3 and 360 is more RAM. I suppose you think the GPU in Wii U is weaker. Also, who is to say they won't further optimize the OS to require less RAM? You know the PS3 OS was optimized to free up more RAM for games?

Article link isn't working but I don't really care to hear from a developer that did a lazy port of a 360/PS3 game. Why not link an article about Criterion's NFS port which they actually put effort into and Wii U version is better than 360/PS3 version?

@Peach64 I'll wait for Nintendo to push the system near its limit. I don't expect third party developers to do this on a Nintendo system.

Also, it is pretty obvious EA does have a vendetta against Nintendo.

@banacheck Yet the Wii U is out and no one in the general public knows 100% what the GPU is and the full capabilities of it.

@Peach64 specs are out there for all three systems? lol... So you have the final specs for Sony and Microsoft's next system? Try not to say such obviously fake statements. People still don't even know what most of the Wii U GPU does.

NintendoLife should stop publishing any article relating to EA... We get it... EA games aren't coming. This isn't news.

The force is weak is more like it.

@SkywardLink98 You know you can make more money when you please consumers than pissing them off?

@Peach64 I'm sure any 2K sport fan would vote EA the worst every year. Also, they are just as bad Capcom when it comes to nickel-and-diming their customers. Not to mention the many IPs they have ruined through purchasing developers throughout their existence.

I tested EA games in the 90s and I wasn't impressed with the results to purchase any future EA title. RIP C&C, Magic Carpet, Road Rash, Desert Strike, Sim City, General Chaos, etc...

What a shame that the game was cancelled for the Wii U... It could have helped sell over a hundred systems!

@BraveBold5 Till they go bankrupt.

Already bought and beat Super Mario RPG. It is an awesome game. I had to replay the first five hours or so of progress because my iguana was walking behind my TV and stepped on the multi power adapter on/off switch and turned the power off while it was saving and corrupted the save file. Luckily, I knew exactly what to do in the game so it only took about 2 and half hours to catch back up in the game.
