Well, at least he's right about that last sentence. Wondering why he won't port it himself...betting he would earn some decent $ on it...but what do I know..
After many years of collecting boxes, I'm starting to see that there is just too much stuff piling up. Especially after changing apartment a couple of times! So yeah, I mostly download games now. And I really like the convenient of just having the game ready on the WiiU to boot up. And the Nintendo Premium thingy helps a bit on the price
Really been enjoying this game during the weekend, with no glitching and freezing. (I have the download version).
Time flies when you start cruising around the town, and getting the unlocks to the different cars via races and "tasks" really makes you wanna have "just one more run"
And the multiplayer is solid!

After having the Wii U for a couple of weeks, I see the big advantage with having the second monitor in hands. There is so many possibilities with this, like giving the suspense moment in Zombie U where u have to look down, but can't pause the game. And every dev. can explore this mechanic with no risk, since it's already included. But I can't see that this will happen with PS4/Vita, since it's not bundled. Devs can't make a game reliant on using the Vita, since that would exclude most users. I don't think there will be a playstation on me in this round....and that will be a first...since I think Wii U will cover all my needs. But we will see, maybe when the price is right
Mayhem in Monsterland!! At 500 points, this is a game everyone should have. Seriously! Secret of Mana will come eventually, so why not enjoy that we got this very nice surprise
Syndicate should definitly be released on VC! I haven't played the SNES or Mega Drive version, anyone who know if they are any good compared to the PC version?
Great article Kelvin! The C64 was my first computer/gaming-system, and will always be my true love. So I would love to see many of the games released on VC, so people that might not have experienced the many classics can do so on their Wii.
For myself, I might purchase a few IF there will be a way to use a proper joystick (for instance Competition Pro USB). But since I still have 2 C64 and 1 C128 that still works, with hundreds of games, I will probably just buy my top favourites: Last Ninja, Pirates, Turrican, Elite, Bombuzal, Defender of the Crown, Boulder Dash, International Karate etc. etc.
But it is great that millions of Wii owners soon can check out some classic piece's of gaming history!
Turrican rocks! Great gameplay and the music is fantastic.
I haven't got access to my Wii in about a week, so I downloaded some of the versions on Amiga and C64 last night to my computer, that's when I found out it was too long since I had played those games! Fingers crossed for the C64 versions to be realeased soon!
Kirby 64 will eventually come to EU people, and personally I think Kirby's Adventure are way better...I will probably skip the N64 version.
Where the %&#! is Street Gangs???!! I'm starting to loose interest in VC now....hope this "one game a week" is just temporary...crossing my fingers for SG next friday..
Why do not games bought in Norway/Sweden contain a point card? Are we not part of Europe? I have bought SMG, MP3, MP8 etc. But there are no points to be found :/
Curse you Nintendo! Why do you treat your customers so different?? Don't you think we allready pay enough in EU? Maybe we should pay even more then we already do, contra US Wii owners? No wonder people think you will most likely lose out to PS3/X360 in the end....people don't like to be treated different! bah!

Re: 3DS Helps Developers Render Fog Effects Via Its Own Chip
@8. A trailer really doesn't do the 3DS games fully justice, and especially this type of game.
I think this game will look super sleek in 3D
