I enjoyed a lot but it is really short. It took just short of 2 hours and that's because I got stuck twice. Nice experience but not for those that care about how many hours they get for their money.
I'd obviously be happier if it was cheaper but I believe it's a fair price, specially taking into account how good the game is. Buy it and find out yourselves.
Another mediocre game at best. They don't learn their lessons. And the 3DS game demo hints that the portable game won't be good either. Gameplay was rather boring and the graphics very lackluster for a supposedly AAA 3DS game.
@WinterWarm I obviously didn't mean that. When you are in a hurry and writing in a language that is not your own these things can happen. I already corrected it.
Sounds great, too bad they put two skins and one new character instead of three new characters. Oh, well... the tracks look terrific so I won't complain much.
This is how DLC should always be. A lot of content for a fair price.
Nintendo shouldn't allow all working games on the eShop, some quality control should be in place. It's bad for everyone except the developers of this kind of crap.
@Kirk You know, people evolve. Maybe he wasn't aware before and the actual poopoocadoodlestorm has opened his eyes, or thought differently and changed his mind.
If we thought the same about everything throughout all our lifes we'd be fools. Perception, knowledge... are not carved on stone. Or do you think exactly the same way as you did ten years ago?
As for the matter of sexism, I don't quite understand the denial of many gamers. It is there, everywhere and there's nothing wrong about pointing it out. I'm a straight, white, well-off male and I don't like that 99% of women in this industry are depicted the way they are and a big part of it is because there are women in my life I love and feel that are being constantly diminished just because they are not men. And I don't like it.
I don't want all games to represent a perfect (and subjective) world but it wouldn't hurt to have more true women around. And of course, I don't want to have them make what I want (in that case Platinum would be making Scalebound for WiiU and Metroid would be on 3DS, among many other things) but we can't and shouldn't have this level of sexism.
@odd69 The developers made the game they wanted and now people can criticize it. I don't see the problem, why do people always put free speech as a one way street when talking about these things? I believe it is good to mention the issue because MAYBE there are people with kids that don't want them to experience this kind of views yet, which is fine by my books. Information isn't bad. The lack of it is.
@ALEC_EIFFEL Actually if they make them all like MK8 I might be ok with it but there are things like Fire Emblem: Awakening that tell us they might screw it like everyone else.
I love this game. My friends and I played it for hours and hours. Each of us had chosen a character and played always with it. Mine was Samus, the others were Link, Kirby, Jigglypuff, Luigi and Pikachu although the one who played with the yellow mouse also played with DK, Mario and C. Falcon, trying to stop being the one with less kills.
I certainly hope Bayonetta 2 isn't their last game on the system. The Wonderful 101 is amazing, one of the best games I've played in many years and Bayonetta is, well, BAYONETTA.
@readyletsgo No, the tradition here is to give them that day as a conmemoration of the arrival of the three kings to Belen to give Jesus their presents.
But we celebrate Christmas as all christians. It's just not that usual to give presents thay day.
I love this game. It is far from perfect and today its graphics can make your eyes bleed but it is a very fun and replayable game with a great multiplayer.
With so many good games on N64 and you keep talking about mediocrity. Where are the Turoks, Perfect Dark, GoldenEye, The World is Not Enough, Rocket: Robot on Wheels, Bettle Adventure Racing, Ridge Racer, World Driver Championship, F-1 WGP, F-1 WGP 2, Pilotwings, ShadowMan, F-Zero X, Extreme G, Smash Bros, Star Wars Episode 1: Racer, Rogue Squadron, Banjo Kazooie, Banjo Tooie, Jet Force Gemini, Conker, Donkey Kong 64, Ocarina of Time, Majora's Mask...?
I've never complained about that dumb number at the bottom of the review but there is always a first time and to give an 8 to Bayonetta is ridiculous. The best game of its genre in many years, maybe the best ever, deserves at least a 9 and probably a 10.
I don't understand how can you give just an 8 and yes, I know 8 is a very good grade but this game is more than very good.

Re: Feature: What We Want to See in the November Nintendo Direct
@MrBecker @Wouwter Thanks, I have 10€!
Re: Video: Five Vital Tips for Conquering Shovel Knight
15 € for at least 4h is too much? Really?
I'd obviously be happier if it was cheaper but I believe it's a fair price, specially taking into account how good the game is.
Buy it and find out yourselves.
Re: Teaser Tweet Suggests Binding of Isaac on the 3DS
I hope it is true, I'd certainly buy it.

Re: Nintendo Download: 13th November (Europe)
@BensonUii Yep, the third one is a DS game.
Re: Nintendo Download: 13th November (Europe)
Tengami and MK8 DLC for me, but first (today or tomorrow) Shovel Knight!! _

Re: Anouma Confirms Majora's Mask 3D Has Been In Development Since 2011
So, they've worked a lot longer on the remake than on the original? Weird.
Re: Feature: A Look at the Many Bat Suits in LEGO Batman 3: Beyond Gotham
Mmm... too many suits.
Re: Talking Point: The Majora's Mask 3D Reveal Showed Nintendo Can Still Surprise and Delight
Good direct although, where's Metroid 3D? It's about time.
Re: The Man Behind Sega's Wonder Boy Series Hates The Controls In Super Mario Bros.
I don't mind, everybody has their tastes. Although, I think he didn't achieve those tight controls he strived for with Adventure Island.
Re: The Legend Of Zelda: Majora's Mask Confirmed For Spring 2015 Nintendo 3DS Release
Awesome! _
Re: Feature: What We Want to See in the November Nintendo Direct
I have spent around 50 € on the WiiU eShop and I haven't gotten anything. Promotion? What promotion?
Re: Expect To See More Spin-Off Titles Like Hyrule Warriors In 2015, Says Miyamoto
Sounds good but it wouldn't hurt if they make more new IPs. Splatoon is not enough.
And give me some Metroid. 1080° would be nice too.
Re: Walmart Display Shows Us Which amiibo Are Compatible With Mario Kart 8, And More
Mario (Mario Kart), Link (Hyrule Warriors) and Samus (Smash Bros.) will be first. I don't know if I'll buy anyone else.
Re: Tengami is Coming to the Wii U eShop in November
I'm glad it's 8 €, I really want the game but if it had been more expensive I would have waited until it was discounted.
Re: Poll: Should Nintendo Follow Microsoft's Lead With A Wii U Price Cut?
Sadly, I'm sure it will struggle.

Re: Review: Donkey Kong Country (Wii U eShop / Super Nintendo)
Got it on the Wii, great game. Such an awesome trilogy, or bi-trilogy counting the excellent GB games.
Re: Review: Shantae And The Pirate's Curse (3DS eShop)

Re: Review: Donkey Kong Land 2 (3DS eShop / Game Boy)
Just a 7? I've always thought of it as a 9 or 10. One of the best games of the handheld.

Re: Nintendo Download: 23rd October (North America)
Wow, Shantae is $20? A bit too much for a dl game, ain't it?
Re: Nintendo 64x64: Super Smash Bros
I love this game. My friends and I played it for hours and hours. Each of us had chosen a character and played always with it. Mine was Samus, the others were Link, Kirby, Jigglypuff, Luigi and Pikachu although the one who played with the yellow mouse also played with DK, Mario and C.

Great memories.
Re: Feature: Five 'New Things' We Want in Super Smash Bros. for Wii U
Really? DLC is what people most want? Clearly we get what we deserve. Then the crying and outrage, but we brougt (bought) it over ourselves.
Re: Talking Point: Platinum Games Has Secured a Golden Wii U Legacy
I certainly hope Bayonetta 2 isn't their last game on the system. The Wonderful 101 is amazing, one of the best games I've played in many years and Bayonetta is, well, BAYONETTA.

Re: Review: Donkey Kong Land (3DS eShop / Game Boy)
I loved this game (and its sequels).
Re: Nintendo Confirms Retro Halloween Scares for the Virtual Console
Awesome, I've waiting for Demon Crest and it is finally coming.
Re: Rare Donkey Kong Delights to Grace the Wii U and 3DS
I already beat all Donkey Kong Lands back in the day but never got to play Country 2&3, it might be a good time to rectify that.
Re: Captain Toad's Joined by Toadette in Treasure Tracker as European Release Date is Confirmed
Wow, just wow. It looks really good. It's great in Spain we give presents on january 6th and not on Christmas day
Re: Nintendo 64x64: Perfect Dark
What an amazing game. Long, replayable, varied, inventive, superb graphics and sound AND FUN likr no one else.
Plus that multiplayer. Mindblowing.
Re: Nintendo 64x64: Mission: Impossible
It's not perfect by any means but d*** it if wasn't fun and varied. They failed to deliver what they had promised but they still made a good game.
Re: Feature: The Biggest 3DS Games of 2014 - Fall Edition
Gunman Clive 2 from the list. And Shovel Knight.
Re: Tengami Wii U eShop Release Expected Next Month
I'm still waiting for it but when I'll buy it will depend on the price.
Re: Square Enix's Latest 3DS RPG Final Fantasy Explorers Won't Support Stereoscopic 3D
It's not good news but it isn't a deal breaker either.
Re: Nintendo 64x64: Gauntlet Legends
I love this game. It is far from perfect and today its graphics can make your eyes bleed but it is a very fun and replayable game with a great multiplayer.
Re: Nintendo 64x64: F1 World Grand Prix
Wow, a little bit harsh. I've always thought of this game as one of the best racers on the console.
Re: Review: Bayonetta (Wii U eShop)
@MadAdam81 Are you saying Bayonetta is a button mashing game?? If so, you clearly haven't played it.

Re: Nintendo 64x64: Mario Tennis
I didn't like it even a bit. It is not tennis and more important, it isn't fun.
Re: Interview: We Loot Image & Form For Insight Into SteamWorld Heist
Nice read. They'll have to fail big to make me pass on this game, looks very promising.
Re: Nintendo 64x64: Mario Kart 64
What? 64's battle mode is the best (haven't played DD)!
