pinta_vodki commented on Site News: Happy "Nintendo Life" Anniversary!:
Wow, congrats!
Four years ago was when I bought my Wii, and then I found this awesome website about Nintendo. Actually I don't remember which one, but I guess it was VC Reveiews. And then — whoa! — when I visited it again it was something completely different called Nintendo Life. Been in love ever since, you guys have the best writers and the best community ever.

pinta_vodki commented on Gunman Clive Developer - Core Gameplay "Heavil...:
Yeah, it instantly reminded me of Mega Man when I played it on iOS, though I couldn't quite say why. Just this feeling, you know. =)

pinta_vodki commented on Rumour: Flashback Remake Coming To Wii U eShop:
Whoa, that was unexpected. But a really nice surprise.
I remember when my friend had a floppy with Flashback disk simply labelled Prince 3, so we always assumed this was somehow a sequel to the Prince of Persia series. =D

pinta_vodki commented on House Of The Dead: Overkill Studio Working On ...:
Hoping for Overkill 2, maybe we'll find out what that G stands for.
Also, they once mentioned they'd gladly do a Virtua Cop sequel...

pinta_vodki commented on Merry Christmas From All At Nintendo Life:
Merry Christmas from Russia!

pinta_vodki commented on UK Press Pins Blame For Sandy Hook Massacre On...:
Yep, here we go again. As I see it, crazy people will ultimately find something to motivate them, be it videogames, books, movies, news or just a neighbor telling a story.

pinta_vodki commented on Review: Trine 2: Director's Cut (Wii U eShop):
I have a PC version and while I can't comment on the controls, I think this article bashes the puzzles somewhat undeservingly. This is the way things are supposed to work. Usually there's a perfect matching solution, but you can always approximate it with another character, if not with that much elegance. This is definitely intentional and probably has much to do with multiplayer. It is very useful to be able to solve the puzzles by various characters in various ways, for example if one of your co-players is not so adept at controls or the game.
I find it strange that the same thing that may be considered an urge to be creative and get thinking in other games is criticized in Trine.

pinta_vodki commented on Ex-Rare Staffer Explains How He Created A Prof...:
Bad Fur Day is no doubt one of the best games on N64, right on par with Mario 64 and Ocarina of Time. I sometimes play it in an emulator on my PC, and it still has that charm.

pinta_vodki commented on Scribblenauts Unlimited Delayed In Europe Unti...:
Shoot, I was so looking forward to getting the PC version (no Wii U for me just yet) and it's apparently been delayed as well...
#10
pinta_vodki commented on Wii to Wii U Data Transfer Details Emerge:
Couldn't they just release an update to tie Wii into the Nintendo ID system, so that you could upload all the data to your account and then download it on the U? And the SD card method would be for those offline only. Would be much easier and you'd have all your purchase data in Nintendo ID instantly.

It's over 900!!!!

Two news about Thor Aackerlund in a day? Something's happening here.
#14
pinta_vodki commented on Feature: 20 Years of Mario Kart:
Haven't played much Mario Kart Wii since I bricked my Wii and lost all the save games, but I got back into it recently and suddenly spent several hours in online play. Good thing, that game. =)
#15
pinta_vodki commented on Nintendo Power Magazine Will End With December...:
This is sad indeed. I have actually never read Nintendo Power, since I live in Russia, but I read Russian gaming magazines, all of them are not doing so well today either. Definitely, the era of print magazines is ending. And sometimes it seems like it was only yesterday that you got a new issue of a mag and there was this super cool looking game on the cover, and you just couldn't wait to open the magazine and find out all the info about it. Sometimes when I had nothing to read I would just pick a random old issue and reread it over and over. Those were the times..
#16
pinta_vodki commented on Conker's Bad Fur Day Madness and Vulgarity The...:
My favourite game from N64, no doubt.
#17
pinta_vodki commented on Wii U Box Art Breaks Cover:
Fits the Nintendo Life backgroud very well, so I like it. =)
Aslo, it's a nice touch that the N on the Nintendo Network logo looks really like an upside U, and only if you look closely can you see a little notch. Kinda cool.
#18
pinta_vodki commented on You Shall Not Pass This LEGO Lord of the Rings...:
@MetalGearZelda Have you played other Lego games? Like Indiana Jones, Star Wars, Harry Potter. They're all mute and this gives a hilarious effect.
#19
pinta_vodki commented on You Shall Not Pass This LEGO Lord of the Rings...:
Oh, so they speak now? That kinda ruins the charm, doesn't it?
#20
pinta_vodki commented on Talking Point: The Most Memorable Nintendo 64 ...:
Conker for sure.
#21
pinta_vodki commented on These Pokémon World Champions Are the Very Best:
It's "Like no one ever was".
#22
pinta_vodki commented on Feature: Staff Memories of Sonic the Hedgehog:
These reminiscence articles are the best part of Nintendo Life. After all, we enjoy the games for some period of time, but the memories are always with us. One can say, we game for the memories.
#23
pinta_vodki commented on Wii U Games Using Two New Controllers Being Co...:
You could always go find a neighbour with another controller and play with him. Nintendo's aiming for social interaction. Actually FINDING new people to play with, could it get more social?
#24
pinta_vodki commented on E3 2011: Corbie on the Show Floor - Day 1:
So is anything gonna be "amazing, absolutely amazing" this year, Corbie?
#25
pinta_vodki commented on E3 2011: Nintendo News Conference Live Text:
I don't want this Cafe thing to be released soon, I'm still not finished playing with my Wii!
But I must admit, I'm curious as hell. But also dubiuous - I doubt it will be as revolutionary as Wii.
#26
pinta_vodki commented on Rumour: Project Cafe Controller Contains a Camera:
True, how can you call it a Café if there's no kitchen sink.
#27
pinta_vodki commented on Nintendo Confirms Live Stream of E3 2011 Show:
Haha, the smarties! Even though I rarely post anything, I LOVE the community here!
And I also wonder if it will be flash again. Last time my computer didn't handle the stream quite well... On the other hand, I've got an iPad, but I guess only Apple does streaming in html5.
#28
pinta_vodki commented on Relax, the Vitality Sensor is Still in Develop...:
Couple vitality sensor with some brain wave reading hat and eye movement tracker and viola, you've got the next revolutionary controller. Stop the heart to make a double jump, anyone?
#29
pinta_vodki commented on Rumour: Wii 2 has Blu-ray Drive, Controller Co...:
I can see some interesting uses for the screen on a controller. It can be an additional trackpad/set of buttons or be like an ammo display on sic-weapons, or.. a Pokedex! Or display first person view in a platformer %)
And people who care about hardware... Really? Did you buy Wii because it was more powerful than PS3 or X-Box? Or did it outsell those because it was more powerful? Guess not. Think Nintendo Way, people.
#30
pinta_vodki commented on Iwata's "Most Important" Wii Title of Last Chr...:
That's perfectly just, the game is awesome. Some of us have friends who don't know if Mario eating a flower is gonnna be good or bad. They just want to have fun, and Just Dance is even more pick-up-and-play than Wii Sports.
#31
pinta_vodki commented on Features: Things We Miss About the 8-Bit Era:
One more of such features and I might get an overdose of nostalgia for the simple times. =D
Great read, guys!
#32
pinta_vodki commented on Features: Staff NES Stories:
Ahh, good old NES days.. Only in Russia we had a clone called Dendy. But anyway the days were good. =D
And the thing that chicken brutus said.. So true!
#33
pinta_vodki commented on Swedish Chiptune Organ Sounds as Awesome as Ca...:
Wow, the guy's incredible!! He must be both a skilled musician and a good technician being able to make a thing like this from an electric organ.
#34
pinta_vodki commented on Dennis Hopper Passes Away:
I liked the movie as a kid as well. =) Haven't watched it for ages though, don't know how it'd find it today..
#35
pinta_vodki commented on Don't Get Too Attached to 3DS Name, says Iwata:
I'd like it to be called "That 3D handheld console from Nintendo". or T3DHCFN, that'd be a name!
#36
pinta_vodki commented on Experience Cowboy Antics on WiiWare:
"coloured and 3D graphics", wow! I mean, WOW! That's gonna be a hit!
#37
pinta_vodki commented on Interviews: Namco Bandai Games - Fragile Dreams:
Come on, people, what the hell are you talking about? Fantastic mood, design and atmosphere, but crappy gameplay? Did you ever consider thinking that mood and atmosphere can be THE gameplay?
#38
pinta_vodki commented on 3D Motion Gaming Debuts on the DSi:
Nice cat, Sean.
#39
pinta_vodki commented on Big Nintendo News Incoming:
erm... Conker's Bad Fur Day on VC?
but I guess it'll be that new motion plus title Miyamoto is working on besides Zelda.
#40
pinta_vodki commented on Nintendo Download: 22nd January 2010 (Europe):
Hey, we got Max and the Magic Marker, how can it be a bad week?
Well, it can if you're used to buying several games a week. I simply don't have enough money for that.
#41
pinta_vodki commented on Muscle March Coming to WiiWare on Monday:
Day 1 buy if if it comes to the Old World. =)
#42
pinta_vodki commented on Review: Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney (WiiWare):
Strange review. What I didn't get, was if I haven't played an Ace Attorney game before and if I don't have a DS or GBA, would I enjoy the game?
#43
pinta_vodki commented on Review: Pole's Big Adventure (WiiWare):
Well, since Muscle March is being localized, we can expect anything from Western publishers... =)
#44
pinta_vodki commented on Just What Is The Nintendo Zii?:
Zii End.
#45
pinta_vodki commented on Moki Moki:
Wow, looks nice!
#46
pinta_vodki commented on Giant Mario Coins Hidden in Aussie CBDs:
Huh, strange? I think the contest is pretty cool.
#47
pinta_vodki commented on Mario Was Almost Called Mr Video:
Yep, and Wario would be Mr. /\ideo.
p.s. why can't you put the reverse shalsh in the comments?! Wow, it worked but I had to put three of them and only 1 is shown... is it a bug of my browser or what?
#48
pinta_vodki commented on Miyamoto Unsure if Super Mario Galaxy 2 Will I...:
Way no! It is a challenge - you versus the game. If you can't beat it, you can't beat it. It's like sports. Can you have a Super Guide in figure skating or in chess? No. You have to master the thing you do. The satisfaction from "fair play" would be much greater.
#49
pinta_vodki commented on Pixmania: Wiimote Tech Is "Endangered":
Yeah, and Terminator 2: Judgement Day said there's gonna be a war of machines in 2000.

pinta_vodki commented on Check Out the Final Legend of Zelda: Spirit Tr...:
Ha-ha, love the Indy-like whip thingy at 1:50. Too bad I've got no DS...
