"While the sequel was generally less well received (having ditched the top-down god sim gameplay of the original)"
Don't forget about the lousy control and the absolutely crushing difficulty.

@ThanosReXXX Sadly a lot of those were licensed, so I don't think there are any chances of Nintendo putting them on a mini system. Also, calling "good" some those is a bit of a stretch (Armorines?
Hexen? EWJ3D? South Park Rally? Fighter's Destiny? But you skipped Goemon's Great Adventure, Mystical Ninja and Robotron 64...), and most (if not all) have aged poorly.
I do agree about Doom 64, along with Doom 2016 it's my favorite Doom, I really should try the pc mod someday.

I'm sorry but as much as I love the N64 I just don't see the N64 mini happening. It was never as popular as its predecessors, N64 games have aged terribly, not to mention that without Rare's games it'd be really hard to find 20-30 games still enjoyable today. One of the strengths of the N64 was the 4 player multiplayer, I don't see the console shipping with 4 controllers either... I could be completely wrong, of course.

Yes. A thousand times yes. Space Harrier is probably the first classic game that will definetly benefit from the 3D treatment. How about some Super Hang-On?

As a huge Castlevania fan for over two decades, I HATED LoS GUTS, so sadly, I'm not really looking forward to this.

@WingedFish Exactly my thoughts. It looks very nice, and I want to get an XL, but... pikanipples... can't unsee them.

Remember that time when Resident Evil 4 was a Gamecube exclusive and there was no way it'd come out on any other console?? Good times...

Bought the first one for barely nothing, and even though I've never read the manga (I've known about it for decades, just never read/saw it) I enjoyed it a lot more than what I probably should have. It's just dumb, violent fun, definetly not for everyone, but worth giving a try.

Well, I already have and mastered it on the 3DS, but what the hell, WayForward deserves my money.

Great! Maybe then I'll be able to find someone to play it online with...

I was looking forward to this, but 10 bucks is a little more than what I was looking forward to pay, I'll probably get it for PS3 as soon as the price drops.

Eternal Darkness is still one of my favourite games. I've always been a huge fan of H.P. Lovecraft's literature, and this game lifts heavily from his stories, so that along with the incredibly awesome insanity effects (Finally a game that REALLY understands how to inflict fear on the player), great narration (Maximiliam's autopsies are great, it's amazing just listening how he progressively loses his mind), great characters and amazing music made me love this game.
I was a little dissapointed by the "God Mode" that you unlock after finishing the game three times, because part of what really makes the game fun are the insanity effects. I always felt that Silicon Knights should've gone instead with a mode that caused you to constantly feel the effects, but without lowering your energy. Unfortunately once you've seem them all they kind of lose their punch, but that is obviously to be expected.
My favourite tortures? When the game FORCES you to delete all your saved files, Window's Blue Screen of Death (that was hilarious), and the "Eternal Darkness 2 - Sanity's Redemption" message.
Fun Fact: Back in 2003 this game caused my Gamecube to actually break down twice, forcing me to get it repaired. After that I never felt really comfortable replaying the game, but I still did.
After his game I always thought that Silicon Knights should've handled a remake of Silent Hill 1 (Probably my favourite horror game). When they remade Metal Gear Solid 1 I thought the moment was close, unfortunately it never came.

@TheDreamingHawk Can't really talk about the rest, but Double Dragon 2 for the NES is an excellent game.
Now, where's our Heroes of Ruin demo?

God please no. I tried to love LoS, I really did, but the more I tried the more I hated it. As a different game it would've been alright, but as a Castlevania I felt it was a disgrace to the saga, and to be honest (I know I'm probably alone in this) Castlevania 64 was, IMO, a much better 3d Castlevania. LoS had good art, good music, but lacked soul, it was just a bunch of games (Shadow of the Colossus, God of War, Uncharted, and a few others) thrown together in a blender, and what came out was LoS (plus, it had a Portal reference. In 2010. The Day of the Tentacle reference was ok, but it's as if the developers had been writing a list of games that they wanted to mention when they made their first big title since they were kids. Castlevania doesn't reference other games, OTHER GAMES make Castlevania references).
Sorry about the rant. Anyway, just let WayForward make another Contra, 4 was probably the best contra ever, and I'm sure they'd do a much better job with Castlevania than Mercury Steam. Mirror of Fate doesn't look all that promising, and the fact that it's set in the LoS universe makes me want to avoid buying it.

@G4L Yes sir. From American Laser Games I remember Mad Dog I and II, Crime Patrol I and II, Who Shot Johnny Rock? And Space Pirates (a true "gem").
Boy am I glad that FMV games died...

It's good to see some VC action, but even though I'm a big Tumble Pop fan, I always felt the GB version was just... well, awful.

Really? It's the dawn of the freemium gaming era and they decide to charge ¥1000 a month to play? That's a little backwards, but definetly not surprising coming from Square.
Just hope that if they bring it to the rest of the world they do what Capcom did with Monster Hunter Tri and NOT charge us.

Good. This kind of attitude...

puts on glasses

... soils the Pokémon name.

@Joco84: I bought the Energizer dual induction charger a little over a year ago when it was on sale (about 10 or 15 dollars), overall it's a great product, it's neat, it's cool (it's magic, MAGIC I TELL YOU) and it works perfectly, on the downside it uses cheap AAA 500 mAh batteries (or 600, I can't remember) so don't expect a lot of life out of them (probably around 4 hours, tops), and after about 10 months one of the battery packs started sulfating (and from what I read that's not an unusual problem with those), so I opened it, cleaned it up, and replaced the batteries (I used 900 mAh batteries while I was at it, so now they last a little longer), and now it works like a charm again.

I'm looking forward to this update, but 10 seconds seems like... well, not really a lot. Why set the limit so low? Can't the 3DS handle any more? The PSP didn't have that kind of limitation with the Go!Cam. I'm not saying they should let us record for hours and hours (which they probably should), but even 30 seconds would've been nice...

@chronicler: Don't forget that the koopa kids also appeared in Superstar Saga. But yeah, how can 4 games in 20 years be overuse? If anything, we need MORE games with the Koopa Kids, heck, give them their own game! Anyway, as far as I know they've (sadly) not been announced for this game, is there something I'm missing?

Even though I always wanted to, I never bought Rage Wars, but Frag Tag was included in Turok 2, and boy did we have fun with that mode. Me, my brother and a couple of friends played it for hours, and we could barely stop laughing. And thank you for reminding me of the Raptor in Turok 2, it was my favourite character!

Those are some awesome news, I really enjoyed Tri, being able to play it on the go would make it even better, and being able to transfer our characters from Tri would be just perfect. I must say, however, that the title Tri G feels a missed opportunity, they should totally go for Tri D.

my god... WHAT HAVE I DONE?!? NOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!

Bought this game back in the day thinking it'd be a Mario Kart killer, and even though it kinda was (it had more vehicles, more tracks, more modes, bosses, etc), I just couldn't like it as much as MK64. I don't know if it was the irritating characters, the brutal difficulty (at least for the Wizpig races... the first one took me hours to beat), the tracks or what, but I played it from the beginning to the end and I just never really got into it. I still have it, though.

"Last year Sony launched its PlayStation Move motion controller and this year sees the release of its touch screen-wielding portable console, PlayStation Vita."

...I see what you did there.

@Neram: ...A miserable little pile of secrets?!
Sorry. I couldn't resist.

I bought this one just out of curiosity, though I've been a fan of MDK since the first one was released, I was expecting this to be an absolute mess due to Wiiware size limitations, but I have to admit I was really surprised! Besides, aiming with the wiimote makes the game much easier. Not so much during Hawkin's levels though, but those are a convoluted mess of platforms and deadly pitfalls, so there's no way to make them any easier.

To those fearing the difficulty, the game has quicksave and quickload mapped to the 1 & 2 buttons, so there's really nothing to worry about as long as you remember to save frequently.

No way!! The console was released two weeks ago and they're still not utilizing it's full potential?? Madness!!!

I still have the Armaggedon edition for PS2 and the original PC edition, but I'm going to download this one just to see how did they manage to compress a GD/DVD game down to 40MB. Also, I haven't downloaded anything since Cave Story for DSiWare came out.

@ JesusSaves: Yes, the sequel was first produced for PC and DC, and later on ported to the PS2 under the name "MDK 2 Armaggedon"

You can keep your HD, your Bluray and your million teras hard drives, all I want is new Star Fox developed by Nintendo EAD.
An affordable price would be nice too, I love my 3DS but the price was a little steep.

Great!! This really made my day!!! Sure, I'm gonna have to import it, but it's still great news, I was dying to play this game!

I've always loved this game, and just recently started playing it again with a friend. It could get incredibly frustrating due to the extensive amount of cheap instant deaths, but it was always fun enough to make you want to play more, and it was indeed sad to find out that they had removed the amazing intro and Impact's song...
BTW, the game had a 3 and even 4 player mode, but you had to get all 44 passes first. It was worth the trouble, but things could get pretty hectic with 4 players running and jumping around.
