Does online gameplay still work?

@58: I heard somewhere a long time ago that a popular item to compare economics is... a Big Mac.

Anybody believe that Skyward Sword will make it to the WiiU just as Twilight princess made it to Wii?

Just read post 54 by Corbie. Unbelievable Such a MegaFail.

I´m wondering if the Complete version reads my WiiWare Bit.Trip save files or... do I have to beat each game again to get my scores onto the online leaderboards. I still think that they should release a free WiiWare leaderboard channel.

If you consider this article I find it hard to believe they sell hardware with a loss or.... there is a silly profit on games.

@Weebz: Maybe they should rename it WiiY.

If it reads my old savefiles I might consider getting this when it enters the bargain bin.

@tbd: You could skip the Wii version to get it in glorious HD instead.

Wont get it. I have the full series already. I also have mentioned before at multiple times... release the leaderboard as a free channel maybe with a (not free) streamin jukebox feature and story extras. Sad to now see that they used my idea with an all american twist. Kick the hell out of your customers, they will be begging for more. Well Gaijin... look at my finger rising to extreme portions.
Give us the frickin´leaderboard channel for free now.
I´m 110% certain they will release a HD WiiU version too? Maybe even for launch. Will you spend your hard earned cash for that too?

I still want the leaderboard Wii channel. Come on Gaijin. Free download for those already own the full saga. It isn´t to much to ask for.

@DarkKirby: You write...
The point of the ban on child pornography is to protect real children from being forced, tricked, convinced into.... You so has not got what it´s all about!
Most rapes in country link... can´t find sweden in that list! (and I seriously doubt it´s correctness)
Your picture links... I have seen the "alikes" of the pictures that started all this. Found links in an interview with the manga translator. The pictures was not the actual pictures from his hd but similar and picked by himself. Some may claim it´s art but to me it looks like porn, or how would you discribe a very young female child showing off the whole thing in an "oops" style of face? I could repost links but I would most definatly be banned from nintendolife (nl dont need pictures to pick up the scensor scissors, they cut words like f**k and a**).
Japan has one of the lowest rapes per person... Well, call it prejudice.. I think there are countries that have a huge dark figure in reported rapes and I think some asian countries might add to that list.

You could debate if nintendo does the right thing halting the release of the game. I have been looking at screenshots and videos from DOA:D and think that nintendo has nothing to worry about, just release it. Personally I think the game looks like a load of crap with all that sexistic approach to it.

Where does it say "Sweden" has either banned or cencored this game? Isn´t it Nintendo/Bergsala that choose themselves not to distribute this game? If you want this tits´n A55 game so bad... buy it whereever on the internet.
Did post 68 just got cencored
Edit: LOL!! my (this) post got cencored as well.

As I see it they don´t want to release it before the supreme court is done with the case. If the "translater" get convicted then the material in DOAD might be considered child porn. Nintendo don´t want to sell that and anyone owning an import could theoratically be convicted as well. On the other hand... if the translater is free to go then it´s ok to own it and ok for Bergsala/Nintendo to sell it.
Personally I don´t mind, Bergsala suck and always have, I don´t buy games from them, I import all my games, mostly from UK.

Is it a "demand" from Nintendo to include the manual in English, French, Italian, German, Spanish and Dutch?

Radar is up, looks like my kind of game.

@XyVoX: Nope

Café Vitality Sensor... Yaay

Another welcomed feature would be to setup your own cups and rules for private online play. Lets say, all 16 retro tracks. Also add reverse and mirror reversed tracks.

I´d like to see a release for wii as well and the ability to race people on both platforms. An icon could show if user was playing on Wii or the 3DS (and Café) just like today when the wiiwheel icon shows anybody racing with the wiiwheel.

I´m not allowed to enter this contest. Nevermind.. I played the demo and it didn´t appeal to me. Would be nice with a free 3DS though.

Still want the leaderboard channel prior to yet another port.

How about adding some velocity and aftertouch to the buttons. I think the gamecube controller had one such button... correct me if I´m wrong. It´s time for some superior control.

lol, I understand now.

@James: If this title is aimed for the ladies... why do you review it?

Unbelievable they even consider demos not the way to do it. I´m totally behind DiggerDan. If N doesn´t let you have a demo right on the hardware... release a web based (flash or whatever) version of it for players to test. Did you test the webbased demo of that new Mario vs Donkey kong?? it sucked. don´t do it that way.

You can listen to the Runner soundtrack on Spotify for free in good quality... that is if you live in one of the selected european countries. Head over to spotify.com now, it´s a really super nice service, highly recommended.

@theantman: If you get five of the six you will miss my second favourite, CORE. Get em all.
DON´T rerelease it. Just release a Bit.Trip Leaderboard channel. Free for online leaderboards with the choice to add (buy) a jukebox where you could listen to the tracks (as streams due to size limitations) and maybe some storyboard of the full story with the cutscenes. Wouldn´t that be as you say... rad? Read somewhere that games can read savefiles from same developer. If that´s true then it would be a breeze to Gaijin devs to put it up.

I agree with tbd. I´d love to see more of their storyboarding and notes for cutscenes.

Like it, and looking forward to part 2.

First day download.... when released in eu.

I wish they released it in the VC shop instead. That way the printed version would still hold some value to collectors. Those who feel they missed the game could download it.

Battery life at worst scenario 3 hours. Charging time 3,5 hours. That means that some games draw more current than the charger provides. I don´t know what to say...!!! lame or fail, you choose. I´ll probably will wait for the next version. I believe it will be out just after next christmas.

Whoever that wants that special import game wont bother import it, he will use some sort of hacking device and download the game, free. Making stuff easier to get legally, will only benefit sales. Sure they might need to release different versions of the console due to whatever technical reason, but locking out certain games in 2011 is just stupid. I don´t mind not realeasing all games everywhere, but don´t lock out import gamers. I believe those "hardcore" gamers are the first to "unlock" their consoles.

I find it an impressive achievement the reviewer not notecing any noticeable slowdown... wich of, there is! Not enough to spoil the fun though. Get it, it´s great.

Found this clip interesting. It´s the Bit.Trip cutscenes from the first three games.

I don´t get it??? What is so much worse in this piece of crap regarding to My Aquarium??

I would get it if the package also contained a download ticket.

Maybe it is the 50Hz version that becomes the rare super expensive one.

I still want it but NOT on disc. I´d buy the package if there was a Wii shop ticket included so that you could download it too.
Bummer it´s 50Hz. As this probably is a speed optimised version the real problem is that many flatscreens doesn´t play 50Hz that well. On a crt you only notice there´s less flicker on 60Hz. Animations are still smooth on a 50Hz crt.
My old (now secondary) flatscreen sucks at the above. My new plasma rocks though so I might still get this collection.

@ Mario Party Fan 999: I too have the Lost Levels but don´t have any problems with it. That is.. on my crt or my new plasma.

There really should be an option to install this as a regular channel. They could easily achieve it by including a WiiShop download ticket. Right now I´m pretty pissed about the fact that I wont be getting SMBAS on my SMB SD-Menu page It will only collect dust on my shelf.

I would think about it if I could transfer my downloads.

I´d rather see a sequel to Toki Tori or Rubik´s Rush.

You, Me and the Cubes and Plättchen.

If I ever see any Nintendo commercial on swedish TV it´s still about WiiFit or Mario Galaxy 2. They sure need to push the Wii:s (and DS:s) online capabilities. They really should focus all they have on downloadable games/services as it will be the major distribution path for about everything in a very near future.

Nic also sings the praises of the Nintendo community and its dedication to quality software...
True, I do. Too bad Nic doesn´t fix the major bug in his own Pop game. Until fix comes along I say Nnooo to his "quality" software. I did enjoy Pop when it was released. Last time I checked I was no:4 in the world charts.

I rather want the Allstars as a regular download. Wouldn´t mind if they charged more than 800 points for it. Don´t get the "locked" prices depending on original format philosophy...

I want Toki Tori and Rubiks Puzzle Galaxy sequels for WiiWare....NOW.

I want the allstars for VC, not a disc!

Pass, I already have 4 controllers.
