Obscure, you raise an interesting point. It could be because Sonic 1 and 2 on GG have seen rerelease in more abundance than Triple Trouble.

This is absolutely wonderful news (yes, I've been in something of a coma as far as NL goes recently... life hit me hard). I can't wait to pick this one up soon.

This is great, but I disapprove of the easy mode. It makes me sad.

Wow! I really, really need to get this.

There goes KS8 justifying another game! Just kidding... It might be all right, but I never plan to get it.

LOL, all teh nubs think this is da first 1/10, lololol! Ha, just kidding... but not really. Anyway, It's nice to see another 1 around here.

Bah.

@slapshot82 and Chicken Brutus - I've always liked the series (this game included), but I tried to review fairly and without bias. For anyone who has never heard of this game, it's pretty average. I will, however, be as biased and nostalgic as possible in my dealings with Mortal Kombat, warioswoods .

@warioswoods - I love MK. I shall, out of spite, positively review Mortal Kombat one of these days. Just you wait .

I couldn't help smiling while watching this. This looks great.

@Henric - My thoughts exactly. I like the game, but I could probably beat any given level without looking (until the last part, of course). Speaking of that, it also seems that the last bit of every timed dive can occasionally be impossible to solve. I'd give an example, but I can't think of one at the moment.

Travis would be an incredibly easy character to implement. The only thing to figure out would be jumping, I suppose.

Let me clear this up...
Noun: Bias
Adjective form: to be biased.
Get it right.

Duck Tales, Mega Man X.

Very nice. My few Game & Watches are dying off, so this will be good.

I might get Base10, but I still want Boxlife...

Want Contra.

I have a 360 as well, so that shouldn't be a problem.

Okay...

@dimlylitmonkey - You nailed it, I completely agree. Nintendo had to dumb it down for us Yanks and just call it Mario Strikers Charged, but yes, I agree.

Haven't checked this in a while. Amazing to see how many older WW titles are still holding their own.

@Dazza - Wouldn't you know it... my best one came to mind right after I posted the first. They always told me he who hesitates is lost. That's the last time I listen to the voices in my head.

@Terranigma - I was wondering the same thing.

@mjc0961 - I meant it doesn't use the touch screen, which isn't necessarily a problem, just a fact.

I really, really want this game. I love the series.

I need a VB to complete my Nintendo console collection. Perhaps now is the time.

That's good to hear. I got MadWorld, and I just might have to look into House of the Dead.

@dimlylitmonkey - I'm not sure if you were being sarcastic, but I think Galaxy is an easy bid for first in the Mario series, perhaps only behind World or Mario 3.

Wow.... this looks cool. I can't wait for this to hit the States.

@apocalypse217 - Good to hear.

This actually interests me a little. I just might have to download this one.

I'm with KS8 and Darknyght. There's really little reason to get this if you have the game in any form... or at least that's my interpretation from this review.

Nice review, sir. I once again think I'll pass on a WiiWare game. I honestly haven't been excited by the service recently, but I might finally pick up Bubble Bobble and Nyx.

MEH! Who's with me?

I love this game. It's really cool. The only other one I've played is the first, and this is rather different.

Aww... too bad I'm broke.

I always thought this was a good game, but I agree with the score wholeheartedly.

Hmm. Looks like a decent week. Nothing in recent memory has really had me interested except for maybe Boxlife.

I'm speechless. Weird...

I love this game. That said, this (somehow) was the first Zelda I ever played, and I thought it was brilliant. I have to say, Ocarina or LttP are probably better, but TP is still great.

This is a fun game, but I can't get into it as much as some of you. I personally like Pictobits better. Anyone agree?

Guh-WHAT? A seven? Impossible. It's time to intervene.

I always liked the game. Collecting stuff has never bothered me, and the point of the collected items is usually to just justify the platforming.

Got it. Good game.

Oh... my God. I finally climbed out of the catacombs of hell (miss me?) for this? Very nice! Welcome back, Travis. This game looks incredible. The trailer reminded me a lot of a movie trailer. Well done.

@Damo - "I'm not so sure that the Rare of today lacks talent; Nuts and Bolts is a lot of fun and if Viva Pinata was on the Wii, I'd guess that people would make a LOT more fuss about it. Also, the DS version was brilliant.

I think the problem is that Rare is still making Nintendo-style games on the 360, and the sad fact is that most 360 owners ignore them."

I agree 100%, the 360, as much as I like it, is a console that is absolutely saturated in FPS fans. Most unfortunate. Oh, and Nuts & Bolts is fantastic.

On to my own comments:
Let me make one thing clear: Microsoft owns Rare, Rare owns the intellectual properties behind BK and BT, therefore, by extension, Microsoft owns Banjo-Kazooie. Why don't people get this? I've read at least a comment or two that displayed absolute ignorance to the mere concept of ownership. So, here's my list of responses:
@MegaMX4- Nope, MS owns Rare, so that's not going to happen. Handheld releases are the exception because MS is not in that business.
@Betagam7- Well... I'm not targeting you. I agree with you. I bought the 360 for SFIV, GTAIV, and Rare products. There are lots of other games I ended up playing, though.
@TwistedVivid - Nope.
@Cheesy - They were sold.
@yoda87960- No, none of them own the rights to Bond; that's why it wasn't released.
@HARDCORE-NINTENDO-FAN - Chill on the caps. Also, it's spelled traitor. Additionally, have you tried any of their other games, or are you just too insecure... ahem... I mean grown up to play Banjo?

In closing, would it kill any of us to just get a 360? Just this one game wouldn't justify it, but there are plenty that would.

@Ricardo91 - I became a member in 2007 (I started reading VCR in 2006), but I started reviewing the other day. You can expect another review soon. Probably an NES game.

@KnucklesSonic8 - You're making it very hard for me not to say anything, man... very hard.

E3 '08 was abysmal for N. If they reveal a new F-Zero, my life will be complete. On a related note, why no Captain Falcon RPG (yes)? Okay, that would be ridiculous, but he's such an awesome character that we need a game with him outside the Blue Falcon. No SSB doesn't count.

Hmm... I'm trying to try out new fighters (I'm painfully attached to just a few, but I love the genre). This is definitely worth a look for me.

@J.K.- The $800 bit was simply a conversion factor. If a Wii game costs $50 and awards you 50 coins, then the two values are in a 1/1 ratio, making a coin worth approximately $1. You could go into petty details about feedback coins, et cetera, but the point was to emphasize that the game will set you back quite a bit if you plan to invest in that many Nintendo products.

Furthermore, in regards to the comment about coins eventually being void... is there any reason why you couldn't just hold on to your product reg codes until you need them? Absolutely not. The oldest Wii codes don't expire until Nov. 19, 2010 (I believe), so if you registered them the day before, you'd still have another two years to hold out. If Nintendo still doesn't release something else by then, I will withdraw my review, go into hiding, and never be heard from again.*

*Probably not.
