This theory was one of the ridiculous things ive ever heard in relation to Nintendo...but then again there other examples of crazy theories like this to do with Ninty.
Why are people pulling out the torches and pitchforks for this? What damage did leaking two images really do to the Pokemon Company? A minor stratch. How can people say that this serves them right? They probably earn minimum wage and did it not realizing these consequences. I 100% feel bad for them, not a scratch to PC. Plus, their games are s*hit this generation and last.
@anoyonmus Maybe get a Gamecube controller which works on Wii and pick up Wind Waker or Zelda Collectors Edition (it includes Ocarina of Time and Majora's Mask). Theyre Gamecube games but work on Wii since it's backwards compatible. Those are three of the best video game experiences ever made.
Great review, really conveys how the game generally feels and plays to someone who hasn't played this specific Mana game.
I find all the Mana games weird to be honest. I got really far into the original Trials of Mana and loved it, but didn't 'get' children of Mana at all and Sword of Mana, on the GBA, seemed great at first but then I realized I couldn't save because I was playing a reproduction cart that didn't have a save feature (not the games fault).
The Mana games are so stylish though, and give me the same inquisitive sense of wonder as the Zelda series.
This specific title looks great artistically, and the fact is side quest heavy and has a strange gameplay loop makes me want to try it.
Is it kind of like the Majora's Mask of the Mana series?
I'm definitely picking it up when I have spare money but I worry the combat isn't satisfying (real time ala tales of puts me off).
I'm picking this up because I never finished the original, but half of Nintendo games seem to be remakes or ports this generation which is very disappointing AND illogical considering they have combined their console and handheld divisions.
£50 for a GBC game with Links Awakening, £50 for a GBA game with Advance Wars, £50 for 3 bare bones ports that anyone can easily play on an emulator for free.
Nintendo sure does love f*****g over the customer.
The graphics don't look up to 16-bit standard. A Castlevania DS collection would be awesome though. Also, I've never played SOTN does Sony have the license or something?
I love games, and I'm probably best at smash, mario kart, Fifa and Goldeneye. I also love a good metroidvania and Zelda game, although I'm not the best at puzzle solving or pulling out sikk moves on Street Fighter.
Damn, that is an insightful and epic post. In my opinion Ocarina of Time is magical, literally so much of my life revolves around that game in different ways. In 500 years, if videogames ever properly go mainstream it will be seen as the masterpiece that it is.
@johnvboy Don't get me wrong I like the amibo, but this remake has so few new features that locking the quick travel mechanic behind physical DLC just seems very frugal of them.
I'll probably end up picking up the game anyway and enjoying it. SS is the only 3D zelda I never finished. I think it had really interesting side quests involving the villagers in skyloft.
Damn, this article bring back nostalgia for the game boy colour. Sunny summers in Spain with Pokemon and Super Mario Land. Perfecting your team and raising a dragonite. The amount of work that took.
Although I never owned the classic that this article talks about.
@Shadowthrone I'd love to pick up Pirates Curse for 3ds physical. It's getting expensive though. Pirates Curse on the 3ds has 3D. Defo one of the best uses of 3D on 3ds.
Why would someone buy this when you can buy a switch lite for just $50 more and then just emulate the software that this is capable of running on your phone. Better yet, buy an 8bitdo bluetooth controller and use it to play the software on your phone.
I dont understand why you'd pay 3 times the price. Doesn't the EZ Flash Omega do exactly the same thing as this? I haven't picked either up but i really want to get to get a decent flash cart for my reshelled GBA SP which looks cool in its black an blue dichotomy that its expressing...lol
I think you're the only person that I've ever heard say that but it's actually a really good idea. I like 3D as well and face tracking on a switch pro to make the 3D consistent even with movement would be awesome.
It would require a lot of power though to send double the image.
@KibouEntertainment I think it looks great and the premise/themes are very interesting. Its ambitious. I'll pick it up when it goes on sale. Good luck in the future!
Great article Kate. I think it really captures the wholesome essence of Minish Cap. For me I got Minish Cap as a Christmas present in 2004. I must have been about 13, the game really enthralled me like no other GBA game. It was my first 2D and handheld Zelda and the first 2D Zelda game I finished. I remember Vaati being really difficult at the end of the game.
Luckily if you're a 3ds ambassador this game can be in your library. Still...wish a I had the original box. It's worth money now.
By the way here's two of my articles comparing the n
N64 Zelda's to the 3ds remasters. Hook me up with a job if you can! Half joking lol.
Nooooooo, how will I get my 3ds repaired if it needs it? Can I send it somewhere where there'll give it a better battery, new shell, and new circle pad?

Re: Sword And Shield Leakers Required To Pay The Pokémon Company $150K Each
Well the games s**t with no minimal effort put into development anyway.
If the company wants to be lazy and serve out low quality products I don't care how much it gets leaked.

Re: 'Castlevania Advance Collection' Possibly Revealed By Rating In Australia
@Lyricana Yh M2 are good, the 3D Megadrive Sonics on 3ds are great.
Trials of Mana in the Mana Collection was such a classic, great to play it after it kind of went under the radar in the west when it released.
M2 are also doing the Legend of Mana remake (I think), really looking forward to that game.

What a great Direct; Online Mario Party, Advance Wars Remake, Metroid 5.
Only letdown is Zelda isn't coming out this year.

Re: Pokémon Brilliant Diamond & Shining Pearl And Legends: Arceus Get Confirmed Release Dates
Arceus looked promising but such an early release date is worrying. I actually hope it gets delayed a few months, if Game Freak ever do that?
Plus, I hope Arceus release date doesn't relate, in any way, to when BOTW 2 is released. That has to come out this year.

Re: Reminder: The Entire Shantae Series Is Now Available On The Nintendo Switch
The second and third are the best imo. I didn't like Half Genie Hero as much and haven't even picked up Seven Sirens yet.
The original must have been awesome in its time though.
