I played the free download version, or was it a demo. It is utterly a horrible game. The worst game I've played in 10 years. Bad controls. No polish and no character in its visual design. Boring online gameplay.
I wonder what happens if a chip producer goes bankrupt. For example, if one of Nintendo's chip producers goes away, does Nintendo have documention enough on all the parts so that they can keep console production running by letting another producer make the chips instead?
@abbyhitter I prefer the YYYY-MM-DD. The beauty is that it is easily sortable. Second best is DD-MM-YYYY, then USA's MM-DD-YYYY last. I have to read it in increasing or decreasing order, not a silly mix of no order.
Nintendo's NDAs must be very thorough, claiming something like you will own them 50% of all future income if you're found to be source of leakage, because NX still being such a mystery, well, is a mystery.
Yes, I remember, and it was a stupid move! GBA SP doesn't even come close to the original GBA, for several reasons. One is the lack of ergonomics on GBA SP. GBA, Nintendo's best ever handheld console!
We should by force move all people not focusing on driving when operating a motor vehicle, to an island of their own. There they can run over and accidentally kill each other.
"I don't understand why Nintendo Europe don't have a Treehouse Stream from Gamescom???"
Treehouse is the name of NoA's localization division. NoE's division could have been named Redundanthouse, you know, since having 2 English translations on games is just silly.
"Watch Nintendo Redundanthouse broadcast, this Friday 12:00 BST!"
What exactly makes the "TurboGrafx-16 version of the game (...) arguably the best port in existence"?
I've owned and played Super R-Type, and I played the Amiga version at a friend's house, and I purchased the PS3 PSN port/remake.
I'm looking for a good reason to justify playing this as well.
Why do they combine Wii U & 3DS versions of Mario & Sonic at Rio 2016 but not Pokemon twin releases? Aren't Pokemon twin games more identical than the very different M&S Rio games? I'd say it should be the other way around.
This week... this is a sad week compared.
No new games.
No new VC titles.
Cheap and small games discounted 30%, still way more expensive than the more impressive games offered in Curve Digital's sale... no thanks.
My main next gen console will never have so low-comfort controllers. If NX ends up being that uncomfortable, I'll skip it. I'm not playing thousands of hours over a 5-year span on a flat tablet-like controller.
The Wii U GamePad is just comfortable enough. If it had stayed the original design, without the rounded 'hills' on the back, and with the 3DS-like "circle pads", I would have not bought Wii U at launch. I would probably only have bought it down the line for MK8 and Splatoon, it would never have been my main console.
I have never ever seen a "professional" broadcast of any kind, TV or online, so amateurish like Sonic's 25th anniversary.
I casually had the stream on while doing other things, and until I turned off after 2.5 hours, most of what could go wrong, did:
Stream started about 20 minutes late Buzzing sound for 2.5 hours Hosts seemed unaware of camera blocking, or was even camera blocking done? Trailer started early, last half was immediately replayed after finishing Voices from microphone over unrelated imagery, like other people, video playback.
This is only about half if the stream's problems, I've forgotten a lot.
@Kirk "So what if these systems aren't quite perfect; they're still offering you pretty great bang for your buck. And that's all I'm asking of Nintendo ultimately, a bit more bang for your buck.
But, I guess that's Nintendo fanboys for ya. lol"
These devices have bad emulator and input issues, so no, not more value here. I wouldn't pay 10 dollars for these SEGA "consoles".
I'd rather have a "Wii U 2", a successor to their best console in a long time.
I love the Wii U GamePad's touch screen and motion controls, and it could only get better with GameCube's analogue triggers.

Is this the game surrounded by controversy, with one Nintendo news website even announcing they would stop reporting on the game?

@manu0
"um, there was no demo for this game. I think you're thinking of Lost Reavers..which yes, was the most boring game I have ever played."
I seem to have mixed the two. Hehe, sorry.
Devil's Third also does not seem like a good game to me, but I have not actually played it. But what I've seen does not appeal to me, at all.
