Re: Video: Bask in the Monochrome Glow of Extended Pokémon Virtual Console Footage

I played all Pokemon games in the GameBoy Color palettes and I don't understand why there is not the option, here. With the GameBoy Advance we got the widescreen option, additionally. And now we have two widescreen color displays and just get a black/white game???

Seriously, nobody played these games in black and white. Either it was black and green or in GBC color palettes. There is absolutely no reason to restrict the game to these monochrome "colors".

@polarbear: I totally understand you. I purchased only all stages but in order to that I had to pay for a few characters as well. With Bayonetta it would be the same thing. However, after that I have finally all stages

@Deanster101 Take it or leave it. The price is okay for such a great game. People only find it too expensive since Nintendo released the game as "Nintendo selects" for almost the same price a while ago.

However, I don't understand why Nintendo don't use the half-price option in the first week. That was always such an alluring offer that I could not resist to buy the game again.

Yes, FF Tactics Advance is a very nice game. I will buy it (again)

(Game Boy Advance Titles work really great on the GamePad. I am really glad, Nintendo releases them for the WiiU since I don't like them on the 3DS. The ambassador program showed me that GBA games don't fit for the 3DS since the position of the D-Pad is bad and the using of one screen is boring ; )

I hope we are getting more GBA games in this way! The price is very nice since even a used copy of the game is more than twice as much.

This is a great old-school Mario level. Thanks to a good level design, there are no frustrating points. The checkpoint is at the right place and the platforms have the perfect speed. A great level!

Re: The Gauntlet

A hard but very fantastic level. You really have to stay calm to master this level. When knowing the tricks and the suitable avoiding tactics the level is never unfair. In the end, I was very happy to finish it

Re: Preview: Hitting the Courts in Mario Tennis: Ultra Smash

I do not understand why Nintendo dropped the motion control support. It could be fully optional and there are many people who really like it. Even Mario Kart 8 continued with motion controls and Mario Tennis seems a good title for having a lot of controller supports.
After re-releasing Mario Power Tennis for the Wii just for Motion controls and casual players, it seems now that Nintendo has totally forgotten about the casual players. There are still a lot of people who simply have fun swinging a tennis racket and it seems motion controls could be easily implemented.

Don't get me wrong: It is a good thing Nintendo focuses on traditional button inputs for its games but it is very strange when a new control feature is completely dropped in spite of having the hardware ready.

Re: Life and Decay

This level is just brilliant. It feels like an original Super Mario World level but it looks even greater. You have so many possibilities to beat the level and that is so in the sense of good Mario level that my jaw dropped and is still open..

I have the same problem with coins and extra lifes. In old Mario games it was very funny to risk a life for a life. Super Mario Maker is really missing a leaderbord or maybe two. Speedrun leaderboards as Donkey Kong Tropical Freeze provided are really nice and makes the level competitive. On the other hand, a leaderboard for points would motivate all people to fully explore the level.

Maybe with stars as a reward players would really try to be the best in a level.

Re: Nintendo Download: 8th October (Europe)

@JeffreyG Nintendo uses some US versions for VC-Titles in Europe but not all. For example Super Mario 64 is the US version and that is great, in my opinion. But there are some people that don't speak english and they would prefer the already translated versions. Therefore Nintendo released DK64 in 50Hz since there the text is more important than in SM64.

Therefore: Nintendo should simply give us both versions. Period.

(For me, I definitely won't put any more money into mediocre 50 Hz versions.)

Re: Nintendo Download: 8th October (Europe)

@BigBabyPeach Of course they can solve the 50Hz problem. One easy solution for example: Nintendo could put the US- and the EU-version into the E-Shop. Then the player can choose when starting the game which version she wants to play. Easy, self-explanatory and it would satisfy everybody.

By the way: Is Mario Golf also just in 50Hz?
