The SNES joypad, still the best for me. By the way Thomas, there is an error in the article. That SNES joypad is the PAL European version, not the American one, that only had 2 different colours in the ABXY buttons. The X and Y buttons are also different to the touch, I don't really like them.
Ah, unexpected but quite welcome. I believe I am missing out on something special by not having any of the "Lost Planet" series. I do hope to see it go to Wii U eventually. Hope this turns out good.
Man, I love this game. I was too small to properly play it at the time, so my Dad used to help turn the cycle left and right. Have a remix on the house: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ud5zt0fXAYM
215 retail games on and I must admit it's the best home console I ever own (but it's kinda cheating because it can play SNES games, so... SNES all the way!). Can't wait to see how I will place the Wii U on my top consoles list, but the Wii will for sure have a very high place for years to come.
I just hope the WII U has a fixed "sleep mode", I have never left my Wii on "stand by" (orange light) because it quickly overheats. Hope none of you guys leave yours in stand by either, it's a very quick gateway to that dreadful GPU overheat permanent damage (your screen starts showing up artefacts in the image).
Since I'm not a Nintendo stockholder, sales figures mean nothing to me except the possibility of Nintendo making a new one in the future. As a gamer, I gladly took the extra yeard of wait for the amazing experience that is "Skyward Sword". The so called "Nintendo Way" has served me well indeed in the past decades, so no complaints from me.
I love transition periods. They always turn out the best e3s. Even if does turn out to priced slightly higher then €300, I will probably buy the Wii U day one. I skipped all home consoles this generation except the Wii which sees daily usage from day one. It will be my first HD system. But it will not replace the Wii off the shelve. I got way too many GameCube games I still play all the time.
This one is pretty awesome, grabbed it yesterday. I have myself covered "Pilotwings" a couple of times in "Shiryu's Arcade" Volume 5 last Christmas ( http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WaRqWf8Gwm0 and http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eIx8zSQIV1c ). The SNES outing is still my favourite, but the N64 version sure had some nice touches. Maybe a real new "Pilotwings" on the Wii U, Nintendo? Please?
Definitely a step in the right direction. Hope to see a future update withthe abbility to display icons or as suggested above more letter in the folders. But for now, all nice and tidy.
I have finnaly got last week "Kirby Air Ride" for the Game Cube. Would be ironic if it would appear in this compilation. Wish Nintendo would put them all Kirby games in, really.
Although incredibly late into finishing "Last Story" and "Pandora's Tower", I fear it will be another retro Game Boy / Super Nintendo playing weekend with friends. I should really get on with my JRPG schedule, tough, still halfway into 3DS "Tales of the Abyss".
Oh no, I hope the admins don't "sink" me. :> My next spoiler will be about "The Hindenburg Mystery" spoiler Unlike Helium, Hydrogen is highly combustible.
"F-Zero GX" is my all time favourite video game. I have waited 28 years to see a sequel to "TRON", I hope I will not have to wait the same for a new home console "F-Zero". 2003 was almost a decade ago...
Absolutely gorgeous! I often miss the colour of 2D games from the 16bit generation. Unless something goes horribly wrong here, this will be day 1 purchase for me!
I just hope Disney approaches them again to make a new TRON video game (Maybe for uprising?), would love to have something with the quality of the Wii "Battle Grids" on the 3DS. Big fan of these guys work.
One year on and I already have a line-up of quality games that surpasses most consoles in the market today ( http://shiryugames.odrakir.com/3DS.html ). I hope this is a sign of things to come for the Wii U. I am truly one satisfied costumer.
Very impressive read. I wish nothing but the best for this gents. I would also love for them to adquire rights to games that were never published in the west (oh, the judicial nightmare to get such thing done...) and am fairly impressed with the fact they are producing thir own cart parts. Will keep an eye out in the future for their upcoming releases.
Oh my God, I love GON so much! I gotta put some videos of the SNES version in my youtube account. I strongly suggest you check out the manga if you're not familar with GON, it's hilarious.
What a delicious (and quite plausible) rumour. By now I'm pretty sure anything the Wii does can be ported to the 3DS, so this should be a no brainer, really.
