Well Nintendo tried this a long time ago with BS Zelda on the Satellaview (A broadcasted Zelda game through the Super Famicom), and it worked very well.
The way it worked is that the player would have 2 hours (The time you could play a day, there was a set broadcasting time) to complete the goals for that day. There for 4 episodes, with about 8 hours of gameplay, and it's a cult favorite among fans.
I don't see why people think $15 is a crazy price, lol. Actually buying the Pokedex book is $20, so you're actually getting a discount. Not to mention this has awesome AR features.
I don't blame them, personally. On WiiWare, developers don't get paid A CENT until it's downloaded 6,000 times, and seeing that WiiWare is basically dying...
Either way, it's still coming out on PC. I'll still support them.
@xxbrothawizxx LOL, I think you're forgetting Gameloft tried the same thing for 3DS in Asphalt 3D. It was literally a watered-down port of a $5 game, and that sold for, what, $40?
This game on the other hand is getting an awesome overhaul. The core gameplay was a lot of fun, and Renegade Kid hasn't failed me yet
@Geonjaha It doesn't matter about opinions, there's enough fans out there that it'd sell really well, versus the Earthbound release from 1995 It's a good move financially.
This just makes me angry. I dished out $10 last week for the DSiWare version that I had to rebuy, since my old DS stopped working. Then in January, I dished out $40 for the 3D version, which I guess is now an inferior port.
@shinesprite I think they're waiting til Kid Icarus: Uprising releases, since people who pre-ordered get it for free. That way it would encourage people to buy their game.

Re: Feature: Our Top Ten eShop Games
I never understand why people get so upset about rankings. If its on the list, that means all of them are good

Re: E3 2012: New Super Mario Bros. 2 Trailer Goes for Gold
WOW, this game looks like it was developed for DS and ported to 3DS. The graphics look horrible!
Re: Mutant Mudds Closer to European Release
@Pengaweeno You're only hurting youself, dude.
Re: Sakaguchi - 'Certain Ideas' Missed in The Last Story Due to SD Resolution
@FonistofCruxis Sadly, I can see Nintendo rereleasing games with "New WiiU Control" or something.
Re: Mad Dog McCree Takes Aim at eShop on 14th June
Oh dear, I remember this game lol. Wouldn't it be super-easy since you see where you're shooting with the stylus though?
Re: 3DS Patent Covers Vibrating Stylus, New Kinds of Control
Excuse me while I retrieve whatever debris is left of my mind.
Re: Talking Point: Should Zelda Go Episodic?
Well Nintendo tried this a long time ago with BS Zelda on the Satellaview (A broadcasted Zelda game through the Super Famicom), and it worked very well.
The way it worked is that the player would have 2 hours (The time you could play a day, there was a set broadcasting time) to complete the goals for that day. There for 4 episodes, with about 8 hours of gameplay, and it's a cult favorite among fans.
So I think it could work well

Re: Nigoro Receives Offers to Publish La-Mulana in the West
@oldgamesonly Well WiiWare should probably work on WiiU, so either way shouldn't be a problem.
Re: Redesigned Wii U Tablet Controller Is Revealed
@Aviator I'm still curious for what those squares do. One is probably for synching, but the other one? Maybe for activating NFC stuff?
Re: Redesigned Wii U Tablet Controller Is Revealed
I don't think this is the final version we'll see at E3 2012. Nintendo knows how to keep its fans on their toes
Re: Rayman Origins 3DS Hits North America on 5th June
Calling the review right now - "Get this version if you don't own any other systems! 7/10"

Re: Review: Sonic Labyrinth (3DS eShop / Game Gear)
Chicken Brutus should've reviewed this, lol.

I don't see why people think $15 is a crazy price, lol. Actually buying the Pokedex book is $20, so you're actually getting a discount. Not to mention this has awesome AR features.
Re: Gear Up for 99Seconds on 31st May
I swear, I was the only fan of 99 Bullets. Picking this up day one.
Re: Interview: Nigoro on La-Mulana's Cancellation
If we don't get La Mulana in some shape or form, I'll eat my hat.

Re: Japanese Charts Bring Golden Results for Nintendo
"Conception Please Give Birth to My Children". Well, time to buy a PSP!
Re: Adventure Time on DS to be Released 'Late Fall'
@Haxonberik I agree. Ever since Centipede: Infestation and (Oh dear) Ping Pals, I've haven't been able to trust them.
Re: New Heroes of Ruin Trailer Heads into Battle
@SkywardLink98 Well I have no idea if they're faulty lol, but they're a French gaming magazine. http://www.jvn.com/blog/consoles-plus-le-blog-officiel.html
I'll leave it for you to decide, I don't speak French
Re: New Heroes of Ruin Trailer Heads into Battle
http://www.gonintendo.com/?mode=viewstory&id=176815 - Console + scores are out, they gave it a 12/20.
Re: New Heroes of Ruin Trailer Heads into Battle
@Xilef Yeah, they're all in the 6 range.
Re: Review: Bird Mania 3D (3DS eShop)
Lol, that's pretty different from the 2.5/10 I read from NWR. Is CB trolling us?
Re: May's Club Nintendo Rewards Are Up Now
Eco is a pretty decent game, it's by Inteligent Systems (Fire Emblem, Advance Wars), it's definitely good for free. Pick it up!
Re: First Impressions: ATV Wild Ride 3D
@Corbs Couldn't have said it better myself
Re: La-Mulana Canned for North America, Europe
I don't blame them, personally. On WiiWare, developers don't get paid A CENT until it's downloaded 6,000 times, and seeing that WiiWare is basically dying...
Either way, it's still coming out on PC. I'll still support them.
Re: Review: Chuck E. Cheese's Arcade Room (DSiWare)
Just curious - Has UFO actually ever made a decent game?

Re: First Impressions: ATV Wild Ride 3D
I had the original, it's a pretty darn good racing game. Can't wait!
Re: Feature: Nintendo Banks on Its Old Money Makers
@Geonjaha It doesn't matter about opinions, there's enough fans out there that it'd sell really well, versus the Earthbound release from 1995 It's a good move financially.
Re: Got Room for One More Version of Cave Story?
This just makes me angry. I dished out $10 last week for the DSiWare version that I had to rebuy, since my old DS stopped working. Then in January, I dished out $40 for the 3D version, which I guess is now an inferior port.
Sigh...that's the last straw, Nicalis
Re: Two 99seconds Trailers Last Longer Than 99 Seconds
YES! I'm a huge fan of 99Bullets, one of the most under-appreciated DSiWare games. Day 1 buy.
Re: Nintendo Buys Supermario4.com Web Domain
Yeahhhh, everyone thought when pokemongrey.com was bought, that that would be the new game.
Waiting for proof
Re: SEGA to Cancel Games, Focus on Existing IP
@James Ah okay, I just saw Prope is an indie studio now! I just assumed they were with Sega since they did Let's Tap! with them.
Re: SEGA to Cancel Games, Focus on Existing IP
I hope Rodea the Sky Soldier for Wii/3DS is still alive, too.
Re: SEGA to Cancel Games, Focus on Existing IP
UGH....I don't like how Rhythm Thief got delayed the same day as this. I hope it's still coming...
Re: Epic Mickey: Power of Illusion Confirmed for 3DS
YES! I love Monster Tale and Master of Illusion(Genesis), this should be amazing!
Re: Review: Zombie Slayer Diox (eShop)
LOL, saw this coming. UFO is one of the worst publishers right now on the market. Thanks for the heads up, NL!
Re: Nintendo Download: 22nd March 2012 (North America)
@shinesprite I think they're waiting til Kid Icarus: Uprising releases, since people who pre-ordered get it for free. That way it would encourage people to buy their game.
Re: This is Meloetta, Pokémon Number 648
Oh dear...guess I'll be seeing you on the Internet soon.
Re: Pokémon Black & White Version 2 Announced
LOL, you all are getting mad for no reason. Nintendo will obviously put 3DS features on this thing.
Re: Nintendo Download: 23rd February 2012 (North America)
I've been playing Rolling Western, and it's pretty darn bad. WAY too repetitive, too little tower defense mechanics, and near-broken controls. SKIP.
Re: Review: Resident Evil Revelations (3DS)
No thanks, I'll wait for the Super Ultimate Resident Evil: Revelations Gold Arcade Edition
Re: Rayman Origins 3DS Has No Multiplayer
That's fine, as long as everything else is intact. Only a few of my friends have a 3DS yet anyway.
Re: Review: Mutant Mudds (3DSWare)
Why not a 10/10? I didn't hear one negative thing in this review

Re: Sakurai: Next Smash Bros. "May Take a While"
My best guess would be somewhere in 2014. Please don't rush out the game, Sakurai! cough cough Mario Kart cough cough
