This is why I own 2 homebrewed Wiis. What's that Nintendo? You don't want to release SMB 3 Advance with all the bonus content? That's ok...click... download... what were we discussing? 😄 🎮 📺
Once you started needing software updates and adding in-game transactions that was the end of physical video games. The Wii era was really the last of that time, when the game was pretty much finished when you bought it and took it home.
Netflix used to be great until all the good shows and movies left for other services. It's the Blockbuster of streaming services which is kinda ironic.
The SNES never had anything close to games like Streets of Rage or Shinobi, not to mention how EVERY EA sports game was better on the Genesis. Back then those things mattered. Now EA is a joke, Streets of Rage has become a mobile style game, and Shinobi is nowhere to be found.
@Reprise You would think Christmas time during a pandemic would be the perfect time to release a mediocre game but Watermelon operates on the we do it whenever we feel like it policy
@Reprise Dont get your hopes up. I preordered Pier Solar for the Dreamcast for $50 and that seemed overpriced for how basic the game is. Got that same email then a week later it turns out that no, the game isn't ready and has been pushed to the end of the year
Just wait for the rom to be available online. Their games aren't worth the price or the wait.
This looks like a terrible PSX game in HD. On top of that, no new modes or costumes or powerups. No multiplayer or online. Even the hackers added an overpowered Princess Guinevere to SGnG and Capcom is basically upscaling a cheap mobile game 😄
Cool, roms. 😄 These games are all CPS-1 and basically a repackaged Capcom Classics Collection from PS2 ported to Switch. The laziness and milking of old franchises is vintage Capcom.
And no, stop asking for AvP or any comic books properties. Capcom isnt going to pay anyone else a penny to license something good.
@6ch6ris6 Right on bro. Life is complicated. It ain't a video game where you play as the good guy with clear definitions of good and bad. That's exactly why we play video games, because life is full of complicated crap that takes time and energy to fully understand.
It's easier to just push A and stomp on goombas than come up with effective solutions for life's problems.
@6ch6ris6 To the NL community, this guy committed two of the seven deadly sins and needs to be sent to the electric chair. 😄
I got 💩 from people here for saying he did the crime and needs to do the time. I wasn't excusing his behavior or trying to make it acceptable. But you have to remember in America we live in a "Christian" society that is supposed to offer second chances, which is why the jails and the beauracracies tied to it are called CORRECTIONS.
Of course we all know it's BS and people come out of jail worse than when they went in. But the fact that this guy is only 21 gives him a chance to (maybe?) fix his life if he tries, or is offered the chance to.
I'm not Christian and don't subscribe to that sort of worldview. I'm just stating the facts.
People complaining about "only" a 3 year sentence don't know the laws and haven't been to prison. The hack is what probably cost him that huge fine, and the cp he had gives him that mandatory sentence.
Of course since he's young and wasn't producing this stuff he probably wont be spending all that time in there, but c'mon people get a grip. Is he an a.s.s.h0le? Sure. But young people make mistakes. It's up to him if he wants to fix his life.
What bothers me is that Nintendo didn't even do anything new to the game. No new playable characters, no new power ups or levels. Nothing.
There's well over 100 SMB hacks that take the game to a whole new level. The same old game just isn't fun anymore. Sure it was genius then but now it's just slow and stiff and meh
I bought this for $8 like new and it's been sitting on my shelf above Knights Into Dreams and below Klonoa. The only other Disney game I owned was KH and that game was so nausea inducing I had to sell it back 😄
This is really neat. I'm getting back into retro handheld gaming and just bought a GB Boy Colour and waiting on the EZ Flash Jr. Once I get it I will have over 770 GBC games and my cellphone can take a break 😄
Zelda works great in both formats but I get more excited for a new 2D Zelda just because nothing has topped Ocarina for me. Okami has come close though
It's an SD card people. The minute you accepted paying $60 for an SD card containing a game with no manual and day 1 updates, you signed a contract that says SCREWED
VIII is basically a card game with Final Fantasy in the background. And VII is so ugly to look at and so slow paced it really zaps the fun out of the experience. FF Tactics is the better game and good luck getting that ported.
Return to Dreamland on the Wii is still the gold standard. Epic Yarn is more of a fun arcade free play game, RTD is the Kirby game Sakurai-san was dying to make for years. Still going up in value on eBay and never rereleased or remastered
Super Mario All-Stars 25th on the Wii came with its own manual AND a soundtrack CD with an anniversary booklet. Didn't exactly set the world on fire but at least it was legit physical bonus content to commemorate the event. What did we get this time? Mario's best 3D games badly ported and in need of a 1st day update. Also happy birthday Mario 64, you're still in 4:3 and 30fps lol
@fusermarucs "standing up" to what exactly? A guy printing a book for fans of a company too lazy and cheap to do it even as they reap record profits? If you don't wanna buy it fair enough, but don't give us your morality garbage. Let others make their choices with their own wallets. I don't tell you what games to buy or play. It's none of my business if you enjoy crap like Animal Crossing and Pokemon and want to buy the memorabilia that comes with it.
And if Nintendo Life wants to promote it so be it. They're not forcing you to click, comment or buy anything.
People on here with their moral bu11s.h.i t argument act like they're goddang saints or something. If I want to buy this manual I'm going to do it. I don't need to since I own the original games and they're much better than this sloppy port. But don't come on an internet message board with your stupid videogame morality arguments. Get your a.s.s to church and let us have fun

Hey remember when the Wiimotes and classic controllers had that drift issue... What you don't remember that? Yeah well that was because the Wii wasn't a scam like the Switch.

Re: Feature: How Takara Brought SNK's Arcade Fighters To The Humble Game Boy
