@Anti-Matter Dude! K-1 Pocket GP 2 is one of the best fighting games ever made. Absolutely fantastic game that almost nobody has ever played (outside of Japan, anyway). I have a physical copy and it still saves, no problem.
@River3636 You underestimate how many hours went into creating that thing. I can pretty much guarantee you couldn't make one without spending a hundred (or more) hours on it.
Dude, you are a hypochondriac to the nth degree. I've known so many construction workers, stone/tile workers, fabricators, etc. and none of them got cancer from all the fine particles they breath in on a daily basis.
I gotta say, your posts were the most hilariously nutty things I've read all day.
Another terrible week for 3DS, Nintendo really doesn't like making money, do they? So many great games from NES/SNES/GBA that they could be porting over but are apparently too lazy to do so.
Great game, don't listen to the haters. Awesome music, super challenging and rewarding gameplay. It's like Zelda meets the top-down levels in Blaster Master. Already put 30 hours into it on the pc and will be getting it for the 3ds without hesitation.
@russellohh I'm not sure how long it is, I just don't understand why they expire in the first place. The money I paid to buy the games that I got the coins for certainly didn't expire.
As someone who only owns a 3DS (no Wii/Wii U) Club Nintendo has been an absolute bust. Weak/recycled game selection every month and to top it off, half my coins expired while I waited for something good to show up. I am still absolutely bewildered as to why digital "coins" would expire...how cheap. Club Nintendo is trash.
Great game but the laggy online play is a huge disappointment. I can sit right next to my router and will probably get a lag-free experience one out of every ten matches.
This was one of my most played GBA games. The mechanics in it are perfect, I still think it's the best golf game ever made. I thought the RPG elements were really fun actually, wish they kept those alive in the gamecube and 3ds versions.
@Dodger try the Family Stadium AKA Super Famista games for the SNES, they are the best baseball games I've ever played as far as retro consoles go. Made by Namco (they also made the RBI Baseball games for NES) They are Japan-only but you can figure out the menu's without knowing the language. Highly recommended.
@Yorumi The question is, what is the max stat boost you can get from gear in the game? I'm guessing it's not 7 yards. -23 is impressive gear or not, but I have a problem with the fact that gear can be used in tournaments. That's not fair and it cheapens the whole experience for me.
So am I to understand that when playing in tournaments, everyone has different gear on thus making some people have a huge advantage? I see that the leader of "America's tournament" has -23, that is damn near impossible to get with just the regular gear. I think that's absolutely ludicrous if that's the case, everyone should be on a level playing field.
Also, is there any way to turn off all the "ghost" shots during tournament play? I find it very annoying when I'm trying to put and there are like 20 balls with people's mii faces attached to them bouncing all over the screen. Gotta say I'm a bit disappointed with this game so far.
Not a fan of this, just seems like a way to milk more money out of a game. If the game turns out to be awesome and has a ton of content then I'll be more open to the idea, but this sounds like a cash-grab to me.
They need to port NHL 94' for snes to 3ds and include online play. It is easily the greatest hockey game ever made. Ice hockey was fun as a kid but I'll agree with the review, it just didn't age well.
I'm absolutely against censorship in any form. This game needs to come to 3DS and if you don't like what it's about then don't play it, it's that simple.
Am I crazy or was there an article a while back about how Nintendo was struggling financially?
I find that hard to believe since they are sitting on a treasure trove of old games that they can't even be bothered to convert to the eshop. The 3DS eshop in particular has been pathetic lately.
I'm going to start checking the 3DS eshop once every 3 months, that way I'll probably be able to get a game or two that are worthwhile. There is so much shovelware/crap being put out it's ridiculous, especially considering how many amazing games they could be releasing on the VC from the gb/gbc/gba/64 libraries. Instead we get "Brunch Panic"....get out of here.
Legend of the Mystical Ninja was such an incredible game, my sister and I played that for so many hours when we were young.
I've tried to play through Ganbare Goemon 2 but it gets difficult in spots when you need to know how to read japanese. Same goes for Goemon 3 and 4 (SNES).

Don't know why I even check these anymore, 3DS eshop (VC in particular) is pretty much dead.

$30 for a Duck Dynasty game...
Gargoyles Quest 2 is awesome, though.

The girl in the backwards cap has the derpiest face I've ever seen in my life. I couldn't care less about what her opinion is on anything.
Re: September's Club Nintendo Reward Details Are Confirmed
Wow, I had 400+ coins expire without even knowing. Club Nintendo is a complete joke.

Re: Review: Shovel Knight (3DS eShop)
This game is amazing and it absolutely deserved to have a physical release, I would've happily paid 20-30 bucks for this gem.

More shovelware for the 3ds eshop...frrrrrt.

Re: Nintendo's McDonald's Toys Are Rather Popular With South Koreans
Hopefully they're just buying it for the toys and throwing that disgusting "food" in the trash rather than eating it.

Re: Nintendo Confirms Mario Golf: World Tour DLC, Pricing and Release Schedule
I hate this, just charge full price for the game and put all the content in it.

Re: Nintendo Download: 10th April (North America)
Sweet, more shovelware for the 3ds while Wii U gets all the goods. On the plus side I'm not spending any money this week.
Re: Hideki Konno Emphasizes That Mario Kart 8 Balancing Means It's Not All About Luck

Some of the hoodies on that site are awesome (mario 2/3 and metroid in particular), but for $200? Give me a break.
Re: Preview: Japanese Gamers Get Their Free Super Mario Bros. Deluxe Download
Has anyone here played the e-reader levels for SMB3 (Super Mario Advance 4) for GBA? They are awesome and very challenging.
I have been hoping that they'd release those on the Virtual console for a long time now but I'm not getting my hopes up.
