Re: Japanese Virtual Console list - January 2011

@31.BetelgeuseWC77: Geez, can't you get it on GBA anyway?

Final Fantasy VI yaaaaay
Never played a FF game before, so everyone's favorite will be my first when it comes out on VC sometime next year, and in 60hz too! Thank god it wasn't released back in the day.

Re: Brian Provinciano Addresses Retro City Rampage WiiWare Delay

@59.outrun2sp: At the end of the day, it's really Nintendo's fault for their stupid file size limit.

Like I said, Provinciano, if your reading this, I'm cool with it being on another platform with extra features that wouldn’t fit the Wii version, because those sorts of things are out of your control, but please price Wii owners less then Xbox users, to make things fair.

Re: Review: Mario Party 2 (Virtual Console / Nintendo 64)

Thank god Nintendo stopped making a new Mario Party every year. I started at 4 and gave up at 7.

I do have very good memories of playing the games at my Grandparents house while my parents worked on the school holidays.

So Mario Party 2 probably isn’t worth m much to me.

Re: Talking Point: Your Favourite Nintendo Christmas Memories

Big_A2

Ah yes, Christmas 2002; The Christmas of GameCube and Super Smash Bros Melee. The Christmas that changed my life forever. I had asked for Super Mario Sunshine, but that must’ve been sold out, so it fell back on my parent’s best judgement, and man did I get lucky. It was my introduction to the world of Nintendo outside of Pokémon. Ah yes, those were the days. I’d give anything to re-live the next 4 years after that Christmas.

Then high school and Wii came. Now my life sucks.

Re: Talking Point: Your Nintendo Christmas Presents

Me and my brothers collectively got:
Donkey Kong Country Returns
Rock Band 3
Boo, Cheep-Cheep, Wario's Hat, and Dedede plushes

And, uh, Super Mario All-Stars 25th Anniversary Edition from my brother. Might see if I can sell it....

Holy crap! Why is Iwata dressed as Santa?!

Re: Talking Point: The Virtual Console's PAL Problem

Big_A2

I sent angry email to NoE. Told me the aim of the Virtual Console was to provide exact replicas of what was originally released in its respective region. They ensured me that my comments would be passed on to Nintendo's headquarters. The PR was very polite about it too. Now I feel a little bad for getting mad at them....

EDIT [22nd January 2011]:

I just had a thought; if Nintendo's aim is to provide replicas of what was originally released, then why bother changing some games to have reduced boarders or fixed speed? It's almost like the PAL VC fails at almost everything it tries to do! When will you listen Nintendo?

Re: Review: Super Mario All-Stars 25th Anniversary Edition (Wii)

My main gripe is the 50hz thing. I think the game should lose 5 points just for that.

Hopefully there'll be a big enough backlash on this for Nintendo to realise something, but unfortunately, there's still some of the greatest games ever made on that disc, and I have a feeling most fans will be happy enough with that.

Re: Super Mario All-Stars 25th Anniversary is 50Hz Only

Big_A2

@98.Betagam7: No, I mean the game itself will run in 60hz, but it'll running a ROM that plays like it's at 50hz, so that non 50hz compatible TVs will still be able to display it, or something.

Unlikely though... >: (

Hey, maybe the CD soundtrack will run 17.5% slower aswell!

@88.Dodger: Uh, it's not the full price of a Wii game where I live.

Re: Review: Super Scribblenauts (DS)

Big_A2

For those of you who didn't like the first game, I highly recommend giving the series a second chance. This game is what the first one should have been like. I'm glad they didn't try and change what was good about the first too much either, although the adjective system defiantly makes the whole experience more interesting, and the improved levels are cleverer and won’t be as easy and boring the “feed the kid” missions the first game had. At the moment, it's a 9/10 from me too.

Re: Super Mario All-Stars 25th Anniversary is 50Hz Only

Big_A2

NINTENDO YOU MOTHER****ERS. SERIOUSLY. GO TO HELL.

Still buying the game though. But I might be writing an angry letter. I encourage all you to do the same.

@30.WiiLovePeace: Are you joking? 50hz games run a sixth slower than the original. It's sort of a big deal.
