is anyone else having an impossible time getting on the wii shop server? too many mulana downloads?

With Nintendo pushing the idea of third party support and cross-platform games, I will be a real sad panda if developers just farm out their Wii-U iterations. Hopefully this won't be a trend across the life cycle of the console...

I actually really like this game, and it's left me wondering why portable hardware hasn't become home for rogue-likes. They're perfect pick up and play titles, that still offer a greater depth over a long period of play.

ME WANT RETROBITS

Metroid 2! Finally

yuu no cn deate da data srry but unlee 1 game fyl aloud

WANT RYMTIK RETRO PLS

Thank God PETA has the courage to confront the issue of Mario's injustice towards animals. This is an issue that has been raging for decades.

Now there's just the matter of Halo's implied cruelty toward hostile alien species, Shadow of the Colossus' fetishizing mistreatment of mythical god-like creatures, and of course Katamari Damacy's brainwashing campaign that says, "its ok to roll everything in the world into a giant ball." Go PETA!

3d is interesting because its a little different for everyone. I actually found the 3D effects in Xevious and TwinBee to be kind of overwhelming.

No Eternal Darkness!?

@sykotek
If you read the Kotaku article, they talk about the Too Human sequel and this mysterious upcoming "back to their roots" project as two separate games.

This has got me super super stoked, but there's no mention of what Silicon Knights intends to do with their "upcoming project." It's just as likely to end up on Sony or Microsoft hardware as it is to end up on Wii U. Just sayin'

DEAL BREAKER!

I don't really think free downloads are a necessity, but they don't hurt. I agree with @BigBluePanda's comment. What they need are demos (not temporarily available demos of select titles), bundles, and bargains. Specials, price drops. A DYNAMIC MARKETPLACE. it's not that hard.

Meh

wow this is awesome. more features like this pls! great work!!

I think it was a bluff to make the ambassador program seem like a sweeter deal. But I don't rule out the possibility that GBA games will never be made available to the public, in classic nonsensical Nintendo fashion.

Huh, the little islands in the sky remind me of Windwaker. I hope this game puts the same emphasis on exploration as its cellshaded counterpart.

@ecco6t9

yeah I had to drive like 20 miles to get a copy, but it was so worth it.

Awesome guys, congrats! You've come a long way from vc-reviews!

haha, just pre-order a Vita then. Nobody cares.

hahahaha this is hilaaarious.

if they bundle it with monster hunter, i'm in. otherwise i cant really see myself shelling out money for this hideous contraption. plus it looks hella uncomfortable/unnatural

Darn I'm kind of bummed there are no online leaderboards in Saga... But I think I'll have to go with Bit.trip on my 3ds anyways.

i will definitely be buying this

yeah restore points are coming soon

YEEEEAAAAAA

I would've liked:

Kid Icarus
Super Mario Bros. 2
StarTropics

Instead of:

Donkey Kong Jr.
NES Golf
Yoshi's Cookie

but overall, it's a great list. also, i'm kind of relieved at the lack of Punch-Out! I'd really like to see it as a 3DClassic.

Mii MMORPG, yes pls. good thinking.

haha, dude, he said "Wow."

I, for one, am satisfied with the ambassador program, but I can totally understand people who are not. I mean, some people don't even like retro games. I don't understand these people, but they exist.

It is a bit lame that there's no system in place to migrate games purchased from the Wii Shop to the 3DS. This was a non-issue because the eShop seemed like it was only going to offer classic handheld titles, but now that NES games have come into the picture, I feel a bit taken advantage of. I personally can't complain because I'll be getting the games for free, but I've already paid for The Legend of Zelda and Super Mario Bros. What gives?

wow, do want. this is never coming stateside...

I had my own preoccupations with the art style, but I gotta say, after playing the demo @ E3, all my concerns instantly evaporated. If you like Zelda, you will like this game. Simple as that.

@Rift
Skyward Sword does use the sensor bar, for the IR pointing. The bow, aiming the beetle, etc.

wooooow, really?

retail line is one thing, but i think the eshop should have been up and running with a decent selection of games at launch (more than we have now, even). they want to convince us that they're taking online services seriously and turning over a new leaf, but their actions are speaking louder. while both the friend system and digital distribution service are slightly improved, i think it was time for a complete overhaul, not a slight upgrade.

I was hoping to see some 3DSWare. Whatever happened to that Mega Man demo/beta that Capcom was talking about a couple months back?

fifty dollar frisbee

i think Nintendo's marketing kind of backfired on this one. they made a lot of noise about the game, and got everybody's expectations sky high. historically, reality has a tough time competing with expectation.

very cool feature

finally

dude what the snap? throw this on the Wii!!!! I love these games

Miyamoto's original name for Mario is missing from the list! He was called Mr. Video.

not remade. just rereleased.

it's a brilliant game, no doubt. But I think the ps1 murders the n64 version in terms of visuals. Either way, like I said, it's a brilliant game. Much more action packed than the first.

yeah, I agree with WaveBoy. The remake looked beautiful and was pure fanfare, but I wouldn't call it the definitive version just because it looks better. the remake didn't really improve anything apart from the visuals, and aside from a new area, the games were identical.

I miss "examinate further"

the website shows a few more attacks, but it still needs way more.

wow. did not see this coming at all. definitely stoked to see the final product.

color dreams. lol.
i still have a few of their carts. who could forget the classic "Master Chu and The Drunkard Hu"?
