You know, I was actually just going to ask what this game would have gotten with English text (the Japanese review thing that got a 7), and now I know. I bought Stafi 3, and I'll be playing it right after I finish Zack and Wiki, so if I like it I'll buy this along with Rythm Heaven when Gamestop has one of those 20% off coupons.
Good review, glad it didn't get a 9 or something because it does fail in comparison to the sequels. Still though, it is a great game, one of the best on the VC, and if your comparing this to other VC games, it certainly deserves an 8.
Tch, my problem isn't with the game (okay, actually it is), but the girls. real people don't look the girls at 3:48, especially at the age of children. Alright, we all know those "attractive" girls when we were in middle school who matured faster than others, but those are a small minority. Every video game, TV show, you name it, has only "attractive" girls. It's sickening and degrading to women, having them only because of their looks. Another thing, if you've watched a Japanese anime taking place during adolescent, pre-adolescent, and just-barely-after-adolescent years, the females look vastly older than what they are supposed to be. Even the kid-friendly Shugo Chara's main character Amu looks like a high schooler. Go google "Shugo Chara Amu" right now. You think she must be around 15 right?
In the show, she's only 11, still in elementry school.
As stated before, stuff like this and wrong and should be stopped. I will applaud any video games that have female main/often seen (as in "Not some random NPC girl in a town who gives useless info") who doesn't have an overly exaggerated appearance. I would name them, but right now. alas, I cannot, despite having played video games my whole life.
My little rant is over, now to resume your regularly scheduled program (Hey, I'm Bahamut ZERO, I can never end on a serious note ).
I couldn't care less about Smash Bros but Asphalt! That is one of my most anticipated downloadable titles! Right next to Pop on DSiWare as #1! Dang it, I'm glad its released soon and all, but I want it badly. I hope the review comes up soon.
Well, I guess this narrows down my choices on what to buy with my remaining DSi Points. I never was a giant fan of the original MvsDK game, but if it got a 9, I might have picked it up. BUt I guess it's Mightly Flip Champs for me
Wait, is that Texas Hold Em' at number 2!? How did that happen! That jump appeared out of nowhere. I bet you're lying Corbie, to make us all cry at WoGs fall for making 7/10 jokes!
Good to see Tingle getting some more credit, but to NL mods, why do new articles sometimes go below older ones. For example, the SSB for VC was on this site before this Tingle news, but yet SSB is first. Why is that?
lol, when I heard Pachter say this on GT Bonus Round, I rofled
But more seriously, no way this will surpass Nintendo. Nintendo already has name recognition, and even if Natal showed up being awesome, it would'nt sell to the intended audience. Why? The intended audience already has Wiis, and are happy with it. Those who are don't have a Wii and are in that audience, as stated previously, Wii has name recognition. When Natal comes out, you bet your ass you go up to someone and say "Hey have you seen that Natal!" They'll be "Huh?" But if you go "Say, you seen that Wii!" They'll go "Yeah, that looks like fun for my whole family! And the Wii Fit thing looks like a great way to stay in shape!"
However, I do believe something in the other companies though. Natal could be big, but next gen, as bbb said, and right now it looks like a casual game gimmick. As for Sony, I think there controller is going to be better than the Wii for hardcore games, just because it seems so precise! I mean, from the tech demo, it looks as good as WM+, imagine how much better it will be by release!
I'm debating whether or not to pick this one up now, on one hand the price could drop and I can get it cheap (plus I have to finish all my other games first), or I can buy it now, for more cash (and I won't play it till' I finish my current stuff, which is a lot of Xbox games. Curse Gamestops buy 2 get one free sales!), but I am guaranteed to get it.
lol, isn't she hot enough What makes Samus hotter than say, Kasumi, is that Samus is more real. Still "over the top" in the Zero Suit, but not as outlandish as the DOA cast.
Looks cool and all, but I'm broke. I have a ton of stuff to buy, and right now I'm putting that $8 to Klonoa instead. However, when I do finish all my games (which could take till September).
@wiirocks: I don't kid. I honestly thought this would've gotten a 7. After all it is Corbie
Dang it, my NL pledge states that "All non-downloadable games scoring a 10 must be purchased. All downloadable titles scoring 9 or higher must be pruchased." Hreat, now I have to import this. But before I do, question to Corbie:
@Corbie: Does this game run on US systems (either DS or GBA)?
Super Six? Seriously Corbie? Those six haven't been in those spots long enough to get there own title. Though one does ponder if there is actually anyone left in the world who "hasn't* bought WoG.
Now with that out of the way, I've noticed Corbie is reviewing Photo Clock. I think you should change the reviewer, a 7/10 for a clock seems a bit much
@Corbie: Thanks. Looks nice for a DSi game, but I still don't get the gameplay. Is it essentially a point-and-click adventure minus puzzles plus mini-games?
Great score for a great game. My only flaw is that capturing monsters is far to hard, and it becomes nigh impossible after you have caught one before. This is painfully annoying after a while. But still, great game, but it's more of an 8 for me.
Great for Metroid fans, I love the idea. Personally I dislike the Prime trilogy so I won't be getting this, but for those who did or haven't experienced it, this is a great deal.
I can't wait to see the Big 3 crumble when Swords & Soldiers gets released
@subzero: I wouldn't say My Aquarium is bad (look at this sites review) its just not a game in a traditional sense. If you wanted a fish simulator, you got the best, most affordable one on the market.

Re: Muramasa: The Demon Blade gets revised European release date
All right, but now there are too many guess I need to buy for Christmas. But who cares, this is definitely at the top of my list.
I just hope the economy didn't hit Santa too hard

And come on, it has Hyrule Castle

Eh, I still have my cartridge, and the other two are superior anywya.
But then again, this does have Hyrule Castle....
Re: Top 20 DSiWare Games in USA (10th June)
Just an idea, wouldn't it make more sense to, you know, combine WiIWare and DSiWare into one easy-to-reach article. Ya know, just an idea

Re: Review: The Munchables (Wii)
Great score, was expecting one lower tough
I'm debating whether or not to pick this one up now, on one hand the price could drop and I can get it cheap (plus I have to finish all my other games first), or I can buy it now, for more cash (and I won't play it till' I finish my current stuff, which is a lot of Xbox games.

Ah, the difficult decisions us gamers make.
Re: Eduardo the Samurai Toaster Coming to WiiWare Next Monday
@Semnat: I assume you are the dev then. Pity there are no Ninja Pancakes, I thought that would have been an obvious inclusion
Re: Eduardo the Samurai Toaster Coming to WiiWare Next Monday
Sweet, plus only 800 points. Best part is, we can all just buy a 2000 point card, then buy S&S and this.
Oh, and please tell me there will be Ninja Pancakes
Re: Pokémon Heart Gold/Soul Silver "PokeWalker" unveiled
Heh, cool. Unless PT: Walking this gives you incentive to walk.
@Rockbandmonkey: At later levels, it would take forever to level up. The pedometer would give you "bonus" exp pretty much.

Re: Metroid: Other M - Will Samus Get Sexy?

Re: Review: Mighty Flip Champs! (DSiWare)
Gah, I have 800 points left in my DSi. It's so tempting to buy this, but I don't want Pop to come out next week or the new Mario Minis to get a 9 too!
Oh, why can't nno keep their promise and release Pop now!
Re: Review: Mighty Flip Champs! (DSiWare)

Re: Top 20 WiiWare Games in USA (3rd June)
Holy ****.
I though FF would hit the Top 3, but number 1?!
And where the hell did Bubble Bobble come from anyway? Never knew it was that popular. Wasn't expecting that.
But, more importantly:

Re: Review: Personal Trainer: Walking (DS)
I think this is a bit overpriced. If it was $20 or $30, it would be great, but at $50, it's way overpriced.

Re: First Impressions: Let's Tap

As for the game, I'm going to wait a bit for the price to drop. I don't want to pay over $25-$30 for this, after all, its only 5 mini-games.
Re: Review: Dragon Warrior Monsters (Game Boy)
