That's a real kick in the groin.

Here comes the hype...

Anyway. If it's been in development longer than OoT, it should be better than most Zeldas. Right?

D:

Why discontinue it? The game sells like... um...

OK, so I can't come up with a good metaphor. But that game sold so damn well. You'd think a money-loving company like Nintendo would keep it in stock for as long as the Wii was being made.

@51: Try not to be so serious on the internet.

This is amazing...!

I've never played a Shinobi game and I have seriously got to start sometime.

Greenpeace is stupid and no one cares what they have to say, but PETA is just plain batsh*t crazy.

@Prosody: Well, why not?

@stevie: Goes to show you that a bunch of morons run IGN...

All of these games deserved the awards they got. 2009 was an amazing year in gaming. Here's hoping 2010 is better!

EDIT: Hold on... I don't see any awards for VC games.

@Bass X0: I can't even think of one Capcom product related to Disney...

This is what I hate about retro whores: it's automatically a terrible week if only one VC game is released. Complainers: BE HAPPY YOU GOT SOMETHING GOOD. Actually, we got something good on all fronts. So shut your mouths already.

Amen to that notion SSBFan.

@Hawker: I see your point. I'm surrounded by whom I like to call "rating whores" - people who base a game's worth on it's rating, and say "all M games are best because they have nudity, blood, gunshots and swearing" and also say "all E-T games suck because they lack all that stuff."

SEGA's mature titles are worth buying, but most of the poor sales of Dead Space Extraction come from SEGA's poor advertising. They advertise the hell out of Resident Evil and Call of Duty games, but I saw nothing, NOTHING about SEGA's mature games. No TV commercials, no internet ads, nothing. I only saw one House of the Dead: Overkill advertisement which happened to be on this site...

There were two points to the VC/XBLA:

1) to show n00b gamers how great the classics can be
2) so retro collectors can stop breaking their necks by searching for a discontinued game on eBay, only to know it goes for such a high price.

"And gamers have no one to blame but themselves. We cry and we cry and we cry that the Wii and DS are not 'kiddie' systems, but when a 'hardcore' game releases, no one buys it."

True.

"I love SEGA for the fact that they still recognise the mature audience for Wii. I think the only company who can assure people that Wii has a mature audience, though, is Nintendo. Disaster: Day of Crisis was absolutely a step in the right direction, but they need to advertise the hell out of it, and do the same when (and they should) release it in the States. Hell, even the black Wii has helped - a few of my friends have picked it up now and have asked me for details about such titles as MadWorld and The House of the Dead. But all these games simply need much more exposure than they're getting."

This year in gaming is gonna be so awesome.

Hopefully these security measures won't last long.

@Amorous Badger: Yeah? What about businessman who need their laptops on flights?

@motang: Yes that would suck... Hopefully they don't do what they did with the DSi coughGBAslotcough

He should have a appeared on an intelligent channel. Fox news is an insult and an abomination to journalism.

They should have put out a wider selection of Wii remote colors... blue and pink? C'mon nintendo...

I'm looking forward to most of these games, particularly HGSS

This is one of the games my dad owned before his SNES broke down. It's pretty good for a licensed game.

Impossible because of what y2josh said.

Everyone knew this already. The only reason I use Wii Fit at all is because it's fun.

It must have been torture for Jon having to play this game and review it...

I still haven't gotten around to joining Facebook... or Twitter.

And I don't think I will until I can finally get fast internet this Christmas.

This review hit the nail square on the head. The game could've been so much better...

Maybe he'll make a triumphant return one day... /blind optimism

That picture reminded me of Sailor Moon for some reason. O_O

OK update.

F YEAH

I lol'd at the caption.

Wow. Sony's really lost it since PS3 came around.

ME WANTS

...could've been better... and maybe cheaper.

Yawn. Next.

Every system has their piles of sh*t, and the Wii and DS seem to have more because a large chunk of their 3rd party supporters can't get their f*cking act together.

Besides, name me one intelligent person who actually listens to Metacritc.

Why did you have to review it? It only makes me want the game so much more.

Really, DTP?

Never heard of this until now.

"Nnooo are pleased to announce that myNotebook: Blue™ has reached #3 in the US, UK, AU and CA DSiWare charts (making it currently the highest ranking paid for piece of software)."

California has a chart all on its own? jk

But seriously, I don't know what CA stands for.

I am going to f*cking kill the next person who posts a comment like this:

"God it just goes from bad to worse , why bother releasing anything if this is all they can do , im losing faith !"

Could you guys PLEASE shut the f**k up about Cave Story?

I'm sticking with the sequel, THAT'S a good example of how a classic should be updated.

This game is a wolf in sheep's clothing: Charming looks and graphics, but no fun to be had in the gameplay. Good review Jon

When one takes into consideration that I still have yet to play Mana AND Evermore, I don't know which of the two is greater.

@56: If you want a stick, go find them in a large area with trees. Derp.

>_< You're all acting like this is a terrible update. For the most part that's true, BUT YOU GUYS FINALLY GOT MFC.

I haven't even heard of this game until now.

YES.

Best update we've had in lightyears.

Wait, that measures distance. Anyway, THIS UPDATE IS AWESOME. THANK YOU NINTENDO.

Well, it's not a complete piece of sh*t...

think of the children! - sean
