MeloMan commented on Talking Point: What Games Are You Playing This...:

For me it will Sonic Chronicles: The Dark Brotherhood. I'm about 1/2 way done with the game... definitely takes getting used to. Other than that, I'll get back around to La-Mulana and Retro City Rampage soon enough.

MeloMan commented on Review: The Starship Damrey (3DS eShop):

I'm a person that's liked/played games like Shadowgate, Deja Vu, Uninvited, Agatha Christie: And Then There Were None, Monkey Island, Secret Files: Tunguska, Trace Memory, and Hotel Dusk, so I'm convinced I will like this game. No handholding... point and click-ish... I'm there.

MeloMan commented on Microsoft: If You're Backwards Compatible, You...:

True enough backwards compatibility is not mandatory, but it does keep gamers from being forced to keep both previous and current gen hardware to play games of yesterday and today, or even force people who have current gen to seek out the old hardware and software. I read the message as this: "To keep the cost down for our new Xbox One, we are willing to trade in some convenience to the gamer". A win for them, a loss (albeit to him a "small" one) to the gamer. To each their own.

Yay, Tails' Adventure :) Unfinished business.
I'm interested in that Shining Force.
I also got a little excited when I saw Defenders of Oasis thinking its gameplay was like Beyond Oasis for the Genesis, but... I'll wait for a review on that one.

MeloMan commented on Zelda Oracle Titles To Have an Initial Discoun...:

I've played them both hence I'm satisfied, but if you're a Zelda fan on the fence, liked Link's Awakening (closest Zelda to compare the Oracle games to), or other, these games are definitely not worth missing.

MeloMan commented on Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney - Dual Destinies ...:

Torn... but not depressed by the news. With a physical copy, I will say that I can get it from Gamefly, beat it, and send it back for pennies on the dollar for what I'd pay for a physical OR download. Now, I must drop the coin to play this game. I have my own story I guess... I've Gamefly'd so many games and saved countless $$$, so a purchase here or there for some of my favorites games and series is acceptable for me. Plus, it's hard enough to get alot of these games ported over to us as it is. On one hand I'm succumbing to Capcom's (and other dev/pubs' wills) but when it's all said and done, I'm a gamer... and I like Phoenix Wright. So... I will be buying it, period.

MeloMan commented on Review: Mario and Donkey Kong: Minis on the Mo...:

I doubt I'll ever play this series again. It's not that it's bad, but what it's become is just not my cup of tea. I liked it better as a follow up to the original Donkey Kong, as in what Donkey Kong '94 and the first Mario vs Donkey Kong achieved... platforming first with a twist of puzzling. Oh well.

MeloMan commented on Nintendo Download: 25th April 2013 (North Amer...:

Anybody remember the other systems on the Wii VC? Y'know like, Genesis, Turbografx-16, Vitual Console Arcade? Do those... still exist.... or is D4 Enterprises' support for NEOGEO games the ONLY VC support these days? 'Tendo? Any 3rd party? Anyone wanna pick up the VC slack and bring s'more VCA classics like Double Dragon Arcade (looking at you Aksys). Not knocking NEOGEO games, but some other VC games for once would be nice.

Sometimes you have to eat a little pride, Nintendo. If I were you, I don't care what you may make of the game... throw extra cash their way to ensure it comes to the WiiU. I can't think of too many 3rd party games that could make a bigger statement on the WiiU.

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

Whoa, easy fellas, let's keep the gloves on :)
I'm just glad it finally coming. While I can't say I'm chomping at the bit to play it again, it will at least be great for all of those that have wondered about the game and never had a go at it. I'm mostly happy because this give a glimmer of hope to Mother 3 (Earthbound 2) finally coming stateside. THAT'S what I'M waiting for.

MeloMan commented on Slick Entertainment Keen To Work On Nintendo P...:

I'm glad people see the sliver lining to this... I for one am not worried about "the fall of the Wii U" due to it's drought of 1st party games and trickle of 3rd party games. The system is still young... it will all be just fine :)

MeloMan commented on Nintendo Working On Wii Remote Fast Charging B...:

While I've made due with Nyko brand rechargeable batteries just fine, I've waited for Nintendo brand rechargeable batteries since the Wavebird! It's really no excuse, and while the survey doesn't guarantee anything, I sure hope it leads to serious consideration on Nintendo's part. PLEASE NINTENDO!

MeloMan commented on Shigeru Miyamoto Admits He Could Keep Working ...:

I really believe he will try to work until he dies... he's working at what he likes, liking what he's working at... it's the dream job. How "can" you retire from your life work? It's practically a contradiction. All I can say is he is legendary... I don't know what I'll think the day he really does hang it up...

MeloMan commented on Square Enix Teases New Projects on Anniversary...:

I can take that statement to be quite ambiguous... it could probably mean anything. To celebrate, how about digging a little deeper into your SquareEnix vault(s) and give the world Soul Blazer, the never before released westward Terranigma, and also never released westward Secret of Mana 2 (bka Seiken Densentsu 3)? Are these... too much to ask for?

MeloMan commented on Site News: Happy "Nintendo Life" Anniversary!:

Congratulations! You guys deserve it. I remember my arrival like yesterday: I had had enough of IGN's nonsense and needed something that covered my Nintendo needs better... I couldn't have been any luckier than to find you guys :)
