Arturo I am buying your game, so will many of us here IMO. This is almost like preaching to the choir here. What we worry about is people who are not as crazy as us about all things Nintendo related. An episodic game is risky but I am glad you are bringing the game to us early as I will buy it day one.
It is not even close to being a joke, good games take time to make. The online portion is what is holding the game up from releasing. I bet when it hits the streets people will enjoy the game. These game developers have to stop making release date promises, it always ends up whoopydidooping them in the ass when they don't hit that time period for whatever reason.
I know the games are tied to your NNID account, the problem is when you sell one of the systems and then down the road get another one or it breaks and you call Nintendo to do the swap it sometimes can take up to a week which is unacceptable. And if you sold your 3DS lets say a year ago and now want another one but never wrote down your serial number you can no longer use that same NNID with your new 3DS which is the position I find myself in now, 2 different NNID's for my Wii U and 3DS.
My Wii U and my 3DS have different NNID's. How will I be able to use my new Nintendo account (when it opens) information with either of these consoles?
I love Nintendo but I would be actually stunned if they learned anything at all. This new system needs to have a robust online system, the same account features the other 2 big console makers utilize. Plus Nintendo acts like they have never heard of a Steam sale or the PSN sales that happen every week. Sure they reduce the price on a few items but it is usually crap games (not this week, Affordable Space Adventure FTW). Also they don't release the cream of the crop on the VC, how can Europe have the 2 DS Zelda's for months already and we still don't here in the US? Makes no sense at all..that is just the tip of the iceberg.
@Lizuka It's like Nintendo doesn't have a clue about their fanbase. I've supported them for a long time but this new console better be well thought out and have 3rd party support. If it is an underpowered mess I will just shake my head and wait for a few years until I pick it up. I barely play my Wii U these days and that makes me sad.
@aronatvw Yes I don't get what is so hard for them to understand. Nintendo games and great 3rd party releases all on the same system. The best of both worlds. When they under power the console you then need 2 consoles to get the best of both worlds. Most people will go with the 1 console approach and have XBONE games with great 3rd party support or Sony games with great 3rd party support. Spend less on gimmicks and more on hardware specs and more people will end up buying an Nintendo console. The Wii was a stroke of luck for them, they shouldn't expect that to ever happen again now that tablets and mobile phone gaming is so prevalent and cheap for casual users to fool around with.
@Harry_Legs I wonder how many millions of dollars in sales they have lost due to people not wanting to buy digital products for the same reason you state.
I find some of these prices a complete joke and have to laugh how out of touch these companies can be at times. You can buy the disc version of Zombie U for under 25 bucks brand new pretty much anywhere yet here they have it on-sale at half price for 30 bucks LMAO. Pure comedy..good game IMO but please...
Nintendo wonders why their business is slowly going down the tubes, it is stupid management decisions like this one of course way worse ones then this as well.
I have this drive and formatted it using the Wii U. I just sold the Wii U and would like to use this drive on my PC but no drive letter appears when hooking it up. How can i REFORMAT the drive if no drive letter is allocated to it?
Seriously if Nintendo management had even a quarter of a brain between them on this subject they would be 10 times as rich. The last place as a developer I would put my games is on Wiiware/VC/DSiware. As brilliant as Nintendo is in some aspects of entertainment they are still clueless about the online world. Also it would not have hurt to have DVD playing capabilities and made the machine 720p capable. They could have still sold the system at under 300 dollars and had more 3rd party support and they could have cashed in on the online dollars that they currently miss out on.
Lets face it we all love nintendo and the best games are on the DS but the App store doodoos all over DSiware due to the incompetence of Nintendo much like their online plan also sucks. The Ipad or Iphone have a ton of good games and quite a few that play just as well as games on the DS. The Ipad is not a threat but its nothing to be dismissed either. Still its apples and oranges to be honest.
Please this game is maybe one of the top 2 or 3 Nintendo games of all time. A 7 is a joke even without the analog controls. The game is huge first of all. This game with updated graphics is still better then almost any of the platform games to be released ever since it came out. Its an 8 at bare minimum and probably a 9 on the DS.
Just played some Chronos Twins and let me tell you its pretty cool. Its a platform game that you play on 2 seperate levels which are supposed to be 2 different time periods on your home world. You are there to try and take back your homeworld from the evil monster that came and destroyed most of it before some of your people escaped in space ships.
There are 2 options of controlling your character and while a little awkward at first you get used to it pretty quick. The game gets hard real fast as different parts of the game world are different in the 2 time periods and moves you make in one time period can kill you or hurt you in the other. You must stay alive in both time periods to move on.
You get a weapon upgrade fairly early and there are checkpoints spread out through out the levels. I say its a good game and worth the 1000 points if you like hard platform games.

Re: Nintendo Download: Rebirths, Colours, Jedis and Clubhouses
Love the idea of DSiware , hate the execution. So far with just a handful of exceptions DSiware is worthless for the most part.
