Oh my word, so many memories of this game. Had a cousin who had perfected it so I watched him play through it, but never had the chance to get far in it cause it was so difficult. I have waited for the day I'd get my chance to really play this game. Inti, thanks for making that day come in a better way than I ever imagined.
@SuperDjayIsHere that is rather tragic there are countless gems. It is of course debatable but you are certainly missing out on most of the greatest games ever made (even if you utilize the virtual console).
@Utens-mobile if you don't know this already than the above comment applies to you as well.
Takes me back to that magic era of gaming. Mario 64 and Ocarina of Time hit me like a happy ton of bricks. I too had a VHS video camera nearly the size of a microwave that I recorded my NES/SNES game unboxing/plays/reviews on as well as home movies and me just eating and saying strange things. Fun!
Probably just for fun but that's not nice of them obviously knowing we are all on the edge of our seats waiting for the dawn of the final day of a potentially huge ninty reveal. If this is nothing it is a somewhat cheap way to gain publicity.
Splatoon was a pleasant surprise!! I really had no interest in it even after reading all of NLife's articles before the game came out.. but since they gave us that first hour long demo of it I have been a devoted inkling ever since. Definitely curious about the franchises future!
I think it sounds like "caught it" and can understand how the imagination might change that enough. He says it cause the goalie caught his ball it is definitely a mishear on the little girl and many other's part I think.
I remember renting the Nes games quite a bit as a kid, playing this one nowadays I realize it is one of the most polished of Higgin's outings. I am glad to have it on my Wii collection so I should be able to get the discount bringing in it to U.
Lots of cool news today this is something I may have overlooked without NLife giving it some spotlight! This guy seems very worth supporting, cool he mentioned that about Mr. Iwata it's neat thinking of him visiting studios and giving pep talks. It's cool that he is making family games too these seem like CLEAN fun anyone can play without frustration just pure calm and bunny lalas.
I had a lot of trouble playing on the first day, but it has been great ever since! I went to my local university and there was seriously over a 100 people phones out on the lawn playing this game, I could hear the constant ringing of poke balls in the air. It was pretty astonishing to see how popular it really is in my own home town, I love you nintendo you deserve to knock this one out of the park.. and like others said I am sooo excited to see how the game itself evolves
Also the terrible stage design that doesn't accomodate the new signature dash move combines really awfully with these frame rate and death loading issues. I haven't been so mad trying to play a game do not buy this version unless you are masochistic.
As a child Mega Man was my hero and my favorite game series, I even made home movies based on the games hah.
@faint I am right with you if Xenoblade and if Fast Racing Neo isn't programming evidence enough.. I mean I was excited for this game but it looks like a game I would expect a game cube could run!! But the Wii U runs at 12fps what happened here? Optimization for unreal games has also been done better in the past as mentioned so there is not much excuse and the Wii U is not to blame.
Like the others I was looking forward to this and anything less than $15 probably would have been a day one buy.. but I can't dish out $25 for it whoah just look at it that is an insult.. those features don't justify it either. Lame guess I will wait for a sale.
Didn't think I wanted this but something tells me I might be missing out on another Wii U gem.. the temptation is growing I know I will eventually be diving head first into this and even though the poppiness would normally turn me off it just seems so well done and with flair. Hearing all this good about the battle system is convincing me too honestly.
Had tons of fun fighting the first two monsters earlier this afternoon the bat is going down tonight, tentatively... my good monster hunting friend was very pleased to hear I got the e-mail!
Awesome game and obviously awesome developers. Can't wait for this!! I am on the final level in heist and about to get the DLC. Dig will always be a memorable game good times. Thanks IF!!
Love this series and have played up until V (thanks to some fan translation) now I want to find VI before this comes out! It's also releasing the day after my b-day so I am even more pumped to buy this my 2nd day into my 30's lol good way to start another decade of gamin.
I remember when I received my very first piece of Nintendo hardware, the original big brick game boy, on christmas when I was 5 maybe 6. I had played my older brothers NES before he eventually passed it on to me, but the game boy was first and truly my own. I received tetris & Mario land 1&2 with it, eventually I received the mega mans and donkey kong lands whoah boy those were the days. Other times I remember being pushed by my mom in store shopping carts and playing, the portability was a dream come true cause I was otherwise so bored on her errand trips haha. My nephew and I stayed up all night and beat Mega Man IV by the time the sun rose one time. Good times.
I have one of the giant magnifying lens/light adapters you attached to the front as well haha so cumbersome but so awesome!!
Ab the arcade, the mall where I live had a huge arcade when I was a youngster in the 80's and early 90's. My favorites were the Simpsons arcade, teenage mutant ninja turtles, mario pinball was at chuck e cheese that was pretty awesome, oh and I remember when street fighter 2 landed on the scene everywhere! There was a burger king near my house that had a cabinet good times good times. It is a differently exciting experience for sure I feel lucky to have experienced that gaming era firsthand.
Lots are turned off by the difficulty it looks like, which does take quite a bit of adjusting too. At first the slowest speed was ridiculous for me too I couldn't believe there was two more difficulties above it... but once you lock in to the way your favorite vehicle drives and get used to the tracks a bit the game really opens up and gets great!
Wowza those are beauts! I have so much to do in 4u although I am nearly 700 hours into it.. no way I can pass on generations it looks too fun my hunting buddy and I will have a blast this summer with this.
Does anyone not adore this game? I know I do! After 100% all modes and still enjoying online this update is indeed welcome. Thanks! Just got through Nano Assault as well, I agree they deserve as much nintendo support.. any support they can get!!!
It looks like nightsky, donkey kong and quite a few others and I too am over this style. It looks like a decent challenge but I think I will be passing.
Hah loving how Gripia is a planet that sports glasses and mustache. It's the frog on the moon!
I must have Zero! the last star fox that I had interest in was way back in 4th grade and was one of the most fun games of the 64 era for my friends and I.. too bad there isn't any sort of basic local multiplayer in this one.. i like the look of guard and it is a nice addition but multiplayer with classic controls for all controller types would have been a better development I think. Still though, looks great and payday can't come soon enough.
Wish game and watch gallery was on 3ds to complete the collection.. i have the first three but they were GBC and GBA games are Wii U exclusive I guess. Robo Mouse is the most promising offer this week...?

Re: Video: Here's What It Felt Like To Get Hold Of Super Mario 64 Early, 20 Years Ago

This and banjo kazooie are the epitome of the golden era of 3d platforming and anyone who got to experience the n64's heyday knows how magical it was.

Re: Citizens Of Earth Pulled From 3DS eShop Following Exploit Discovery
3DS version here was looking for portability and now I got exclusivity along with it. (For now anyways.)
I didn't like the demo much but the bundle forced the game on me, but if it is even half as good as Earthbound...
The graphics on the demo were totally fine BTW for anyone else wondering after that guys comment.
