allav866 commented on Review: Donkey Kong Country Returns 3D (3DS):

Seriously, the FRAMERATE is the reason why this isn't getting a 10/10, like its Wii predecessor did? The 3D effect, extra levels, accessibility, AND removal of waggle controls aren't enough to compensate for that 30 fps... I get that Corbie Dillard did the review for the Wii version, and different people will have different opinions, so I'm just gonna pretend Corbie did the review and gave it the 10/10 it deserves.

I noticed most of the 3DS VC games being released are usually Mega Man. Capcom is contributing a lot and Nintendo so little. I know the Zelda Oracle games are just 2 weeks away, but Nintendo still has a few games to release here, such as Wario Land 3 and Kirby's Dream Land 2.

allav866 commented on Pachter: Nintendo Made The Right Decision In S...:

Pachter's still talking out of his rear end, as usual, but he at least got one thing right; it was a smart move.
When Nintendo started doing Direct videos, I expected they'd be for smaller games that wouldn't be big enough to show at E3. Of course I was wrong, as Nintendo Direct videos always have something spectacular near the end. E3 isn't as great as it once was, and Nintendo knows it. They're opting to bring new information directly to us rather than waiting for an annual event.
However, to say that Nintendo has nothing that they could show at E3 is not entirely untrue. They said they'd show 3D Mario, Mario Kart, and Smash Bros. 4 during E3, but that's only great if you're a fan of those franchises. If Nintendo were to show anything at E3, they'd have to appeal to a lot more than just Nintendo fans in order to sell more Wii U systems.

NoA, you damn well better bring that tie to the states, even if it has to be a reward on club nintendo, even if it has to be a Platinum Membership reward that ships in December! I don't care, as long as I get that freakin' tie!!!!

If Nintendo would just release FireRed, LeafGreen, Ruby, Sapphire, and Emerald on the 3DS eShop (assuming they will eventually realize GBA VC games are more suited for the 3DS than the Wii U and start selling the games on the 3DS eShop! ò_ó), then every main PokéMon game could be played on the 3DS!

allav866 commented on Angry Video Game Nerd Adventures Is Coming To ...:

@Stuffgamer1 that's mainly because they didn't do any model editing. they enhanced some textures, edited the text, removed the N64 logo, added XBLA features, like leaderboards and the like, and used coding to ensure nothing switched to its low-poly model. Other than that, no models were edited, as far as I can tell.

allav866 commented on Wii U Virtual Console Launch Lineup Is Revealed:

I bought Super Mario 64 for 200 coins on club Nintendo so I could have it basically for free, then pay to upgrade it, so that's pretty much the only VC game I look forward to, although it'll probably be a good while for N64 to reach the Wii U's VC service. Aside from that, I will probably get Super Metroid, and maybe even Super Mario World, but Nintendo's gonna have to add better titles if they expect to get any of my money.

allav866 commented on Donkey Kong Country Returns 3D:

The Wii version got a 10/10 here at Nintendo Life. The 3DS version uses button controls instead of silly shake controls, is in 3D, can be played on the go, includes an Easy Mode to be more accessible to new players, AND has extra levels. What can stop this from getting an 11/10?
EDIT: of all things... It was the framerate. Wtf?

allav866 commented on Review: Kirby's Adventure (Wii U eShop / NES):

I've been playing this game at least once a year for 20 years or so, and even after trying each copy ability, finding every secret, and beating Extra Mode using Sword only, this game still surprises me. I give it a 10/10.

allav866 commented on EarthBound Delay May Not Have Been Caused By M...:

I'm not sure why Nintendo of America took so long to bring Earthbound to the Virtual Console, and frankly I could care less. It may have taken a while, but Nintendo listened to the Mother fans. Now we need to bug them for Mother 3.

allav866 commented on BearShark Game Coming To The 3DS eShop:

Meat or Die is more entitled to its own game than Bear Shark. Endless runners are way too common, and with the quirky creativity of MoD, it could be anything, from a 2-D platformer to a puzzle game to lead Yans and Gans to their elusive dinner.

allav866 commented on Sakurai: Online Play Will Be Improved in Upcom...:

I can imagine many ways how SSB4's online multiplayer can be better than Brawl's:
1. Lag-free, and responsive controls
2. Communities much like MK7's, where the community leader creates rules for the matches (as far as Time/Stock/Coin, Stock Time Limit, Team/Free-for-All, and what categories of items are allowed)
3. Video-chat between friends via GamePad Camera or just use voice chat.
4. Allow the use of Stage Builder stages
5. Trophy/Sticker distribution much like Kid Icarus: Uprising's Idol/Weapon/Power distribution (Random item will randomly appear after a match and be given to a random player)
6. No random tripping. (Sorry, but I think if people say it enough times, Sakurai will get the message.)

allav866 commented on Miyamoto Overseeing Series of Animated Shorts:

So they'll sell the Pikmin videos if they become popular enough, but they won't sell the Kid Icarus videos or the Kirby 3D video. C'mon, Nintendo, you've only put up 3 videos on the eShop, all of which are lame Dreamworks Halloween specials.

NintendoLife, at this point anything Pachter says is not news anymore. He's just a trolling pessimist with nothing better to do than say something that will stir up controversy. He's not to be taken seriously anymore.
