Wow, thought they at least would replace the levels requiring multi-touch.

People got to realise the US exchange rate currently is very low. Your prices will seem low in comparison to almost every other country.

Bought this for a buck on App Store. It's decent...

The file size limit shouldn't be lower than the size of a normal 3DS cartridge.

I want Nintendo to start releasing retail games for eShop, like Sony has done for PSN.

Is the frame rate better in 2D?

Great game!

If you enjoy the Wonder Boy games this is a must-have!

Absolutely! This is true in my case as well. At the moment I don't play as much on dedicated gaming systems as i used to. While commuting it's way more convinient for me to just pick and play something on my iPhone. And I get the chance to enjoy some good music at the same time!

Most likely a port. They said they aim to port the series to other formats and Beat has already reached iOS, PC and Mac.

Definetly looking forward to playing a version with higher res!

I don't really mind, I will keep my copy sealed.

I really hope they do it. It's almost free money. But then again it's Nintendo we're talking about.

I hope that if it ever gets released they add an option to change the red color to whatever color you prefer. Would rather play the games in black & white.

Didn't enjoy the first on too much, but the second one was awesome.

Add some extra Wii exclusive content to justify the higher price point, release it as a budget retail game and put sticker on the box quoting reviews of the 360 version. It will do surprisingly well.

Still going for the pc version though.

Looking forward to the PS3 version : )

I'm just going to go ahead and buy the game on Steam. I dont see would why anyone would want to buy the inferior Wii version, considering how easy it is to hook up a wiimonte to a computer.

I might actually buy this!

The franchise roster they've announced so far is pretty good but I hope they add Adventure Time as well as some more old school shows.

A lot of fanboyism in here. Of course Apple is a threat. A lot of people don't bother to bring with them a biggame system, including a bunch of game cartridges, in order to game for half on hour on a bus. My iPhone is a small and sleek device with which i can listen to my favorite music and play games on, at the same time. iPhone just happens to be a way more convenient solution for many people. You might enjoy a dedicated gaming system, but a lot of people don't.

Saying that iPhone games only are comparable to flash games is also a load of crap. There are plenty of high quality games on AppStore.

Don't get me wrong though, i own 3 DS systems as well as over 40 games. But simply because iPhone is different and doesn't offer any physical button's doesn't mean it can't be a competent gaming platform.

NL staff is full of Nintendo fanboys. Since when were Rare's 360 titles halfbaked? Most of Rare's 360 games are REALLY well-crafted, Perfect Dark Zero being the unpolished exception.

To people believing 3DS will be hacked: 3DS will probably NOT be hacked. At least not within the first years.

For example:

PS3 has not been hacked
PSP firmware has not been hacked since mid-2009
DSi/Xl has not been hacked

@RowdyRodimus
You don't seem to know what you are talking about. The vast majority of people pirating do not buy games. Do you honestly believe something else?

Also, pirating on DS is a huge issue, probably the biggest on any console this far. Most DS owners i know pirate their games. Not only that but in some countries e.g. China, there is no market for commercial DS games at all.

This game is no different from SNES games. There is no reason for why this game gets a 5/10, when good SNES games recieve much higher scores. The review score CAN NOT vary depending on wether it is sold the Virtual Console section or the WiiWare section. It-makes-no-sense. A game should only be judged on its own merits.

Hopefully they will offer a decent downloading service, so there won't be any reason for playing pirated digital games to begin with!

I understand why so many prefer pirating their DS games, and I know a lot of people who do. It's way more convenient, never having to swap game card and being able to back up the save files on a computer. Once you get used to it, it's very hard to go back. I myself still buy my DS games but I've got ane Acekard2 which I use for emulation, and it's an incredible little device.

@Token Girl I'm not sure I agree with you. It's way harder getting pirated games to run on your Wii than on your DS. Nowdays the only thing you have to do to play pirated DS games is to buy a game card and transfer some games from your computer, and you're ready to go.

I only download a few european VC games nowdays. I can bear with the slower speed, but most of the time I just prefer to download the american versioes, which is free, but illegal.

Since I already finnished the PC version it's unlikely I'm going to pay 1200 Wii Points for this. If it was a 1000 I might just have considered it if I had a few points to spare.

Don't believe this price point was a very good decision!

The graphics don't appeal to me. Everything just looks completely off, like if everything has been taken from diffrent sources.

The story seems dumb and ciché. Don't do this to Metroid!

Definetly going to get one of those, since i skipped the first DSi! My only problem is the lack of a white color. Guess I'll go for the wine red version instead...

RedBlueSpot@ What you're saying makes no sense. How'd you think the screen would work with a higher resolution? If the amount of pixels weren't exactely 4 times then amount on a normal DS the scaling would look strange. And if upcomming games would actually utilize the higher resolution, they'd require much more hardware capacity.

Personally I don't mind the bigger pixels, it'll just look sweet in 2d games!

Finally a good game for european WiiWare, it has been a while. Will probably pick it up to support my danish neighbours.

The port may ba cheap, but at core it's the same exact game. Anyone that potentially would like the DS version, would moste likely like the Wii version aswell.

Wouldn't second opinions and user review's/scores be a good idea?

I remember watching the GoNintendo review of the first game. Seemed to be extremely hard. Mostly I like hard games, but this seems to include too much multitasking, which isn't one of my strong sides. Looking forward to the review, though.

Why does every game that is "good" get at least a 9 out of 10 here? 9 should mean it's a memorable and almost perfect game, right? IMO, even 6/10 should mark a good and enjoyable game.

Will it even be possible to turn off the Motion Plus functions? Can't seem to find any button for that purpose. I mean, some games require you to remove add-ons, and if there isn't such a function, it would make this controller uncompatible with some Wii games.

16k copies of RE:DC? I understand why Capcom is dissapointed, when UC sold over half a million. I actually think piracy do play a part in this.

Still haven't bought it, but i know i will, sooner or later.

I love how S-E is starting to publish great western titles in Japan. For example they released Modern Warfare 2 last week, and it actually did really well!

Got it using Homebrew Channel last year. It's a decent little game, well worthy of a 6/10. It's short, not very intresting gameplay wise, but at least kind of unique.

You're not missing out on anything though, seriously.

Nothing that really caught my attention. I loved Two Tribe's Toki Tori, but RUSH doesn't seem to offer as much variety.

Hopefully Europe will catch up this friday, we still haven't got Excitebike.

@Panda: Really dissapointed in your way of reviewing this game.

First off, you oviously haven't played this game enough. The following sentence proves this: "It’s not a particularly long affair, a few hours at most (which may be a blessing in disguise considering its jerk deaths) with the option to even skip a few stages via branching paths.".

1. You estimate the games length based on the percentage on your save file after x hours, rather then by playing through the game.
2. You're wrong about the branching paths. You have to play all the levels to get necessary power-ups. This also tells me that you haven't reached the end of any path, thus making it impossible for you to have fought any but the two first bosses!
3. To actually meet the final boss, one has to gather allt the pink blobs on every level. You weren't aware of this either.

Another sentence that made me angry:

"Boss fights suffer because of this, as sometimes it’s impossible to see where they’re coming from, and in at least one boss battle there doesn’t seem to be any way to escape getting hit – a hallmark of horrible game design."

I'm pretty confident you're talking about the boss in the music world and I'm pretty sure you're talking about the attack where he throws bombs at you, that explodes into music notes. I've played this boss and i can assure you, that it won't be easier with a few extra pixels. And it's not impossible to dodge the bombs, you're just no precise enough.

It's embrassing how you blame the screen resolution for your difficulties. Doesn't seem like you've understood it, but the reason for you dying is actually because this is a pretty hard game.

They bette[]r[/] release this in europe soon!

[]L[]ooking forward to see how the sales develope in 2010!

[asterix]Nice![asterix]

[asterix]Nice![/asterix]

Will download play work with Phat and Lite aswell?

I hope Rayman is not based on the inferior GBA version, although it feels likely, since it probably would be easier to port. The size limit of DSiWare games shouldn't be a problem anyway, since the original Jaguar version is less then 4mb!

I think it's time for Nintendo to realese Wii Slim, with a sleaker and more appealing design at a 199$ price tag. Due to the cheap hardware it shouldn't be to hard to shrink the size conciderably and still have a high profit.

Afterwards, Nintendo should really start pushing the software. Not only future games, but those games that didn't get enough attention when they first were released. This way, they hopefully could catch quite a few of those, who up till now decided to skip on Nintendo this generation, and further expand the market for serious games on the console.

Wasn't this game kinda light on content to begin with? The full boxed game is already out of print and can be found for about the same price as this, so there is no reason for this down scaled realase.

Nintendo, you make me sick.

C'mon foks, what do you find so interesting about this game, really? I can see noting but a big pile of dog poo.

People tend to joke about Wii:s graphics, comparing them to the N64's. Most of the time that's unjustified, but this time it would actually be a very realistic comparison. Just look att this pic: http://wiiware.nintendolife.com/screenshots/18635

Even doubt i've seen a 64 game with this low texture resolution.

And what do you mean by "Panzer Dragoon clone", is it a Lair clone as well? This game rather seems to be focusing on some kind of 1 on 1 dragon fight experience.

I totally disagree witht the reviewer. While it is a pretty short game, it has high replay value and a good co-op option. Also, it is possible to adjust the difficulty level and the amount of lives, making it a beatable game, even for people like me.

Hey, this is NOT "virtually identical". In the Mega Drive version there is fewer levels and the options to choose difficulty level, amount of lives and amount of continues, which in my opinion makes this a better game. It also has a bit diffrent graphics.

Compared to other games in its price tag i can't really say its worth its price. However, if you are a big Wonder Boy fan, as me, you should definitely give this a shot. It's especially fun in co-oop.

A truely awesome game.

Can you save or do you use passwords as in the original version?
