Man, the sound compression in Mario64 is just awful. I can pass the lack os smoothness and the jaggies but please, the sound? Jesus, it's a torture to play this game in VC. It just makes me wanna plug in my old 64
Nintendo must believe we all have 3ds along the Wii U...Jesus, what a scarce week...where the hell is wii's Pandora's Tower? Wasn't it already out in Japan?
@Jayvir Also my fav game ever, and I can't rationally explain why. I can see its flaws and whatnot but still...wished they'd release a HD version of it, I'd then go for mt thrid round
@RCMADIAX You can not whine about your highest scored fame not selling in favor of crappy games antld THEN release a crappy game youself. It doesn't make any sense
I bought Block Drop U, though, and IMO it's a crappy game.
@Andyjm it's just a matter of priorities, money I mean...I spent 7 bucks in Steamworld and was pissed it lasted a weekend. Then I thought, ok not that expensive. For 15 bucks I can get a 2nd-hand big game and that's the reality nowadays.
Mario Galaxy already 100d both, there's no way I'll do those crazy last missions again Metroid I'll do gladly again Super Mario 64 remake I'd buy in a heartbeat
@erv It IS better than ACIII but it doesn't make it a good game either. You'll get awe at the first 15 hours but then it gets repetitive and boring as the flaws in the mechanics are very evident. I'd go for Deus Ex or Splintercell (if you like stealth games)
On topic: the ****? Nintendo, we needs game you know? VC would be cool since...er...there are no games? so...oh, I see, you don't want my money, that's fine!
@OrangeCluster Child of Light is boring and repetitive game with loads of charm and amazing artwork. It is also on the short side and has no replay value once you end it. It's only compelling if you play on the hard mode
@unrandomsam Yep, it's a pitty...It's the same reason I abandoned Wiiudaily and Mynintendonews. As I normally say to my students, "say nothing if you have nothing to say"
@Donutman 32yo here as well. OoT was a dream come true when it came out, I was so impressed I couldn't stop playing overnight, going to school like a Zombie.
Anyway, I'd say my fav one is Twilight Princess because I think it's the perfected formula of OoT. Skyward Sword was a boring game and Wind Waker didn't captivate me as much
I worry that this kind of articles keep popping in serious sites like NF.
Nintendo is fine, they're grown up guys, and they keep delivering the best games in the market. Sure, I'd like those games to come earlier, but they strive for quality.
Nintendo FTW WiiU is the best, IMO, home console Nintendo ever did. They already the launched the best Pikmin, Kong, Kart, I only need their best Zelda and Metroid and I'll be fine.
@Marshi didn't play pandora's tower as well :/ I guess Nintendo just doesn't want to follow any trends but these HD remakes would fill in the gaps between releases

Re: Nintendo's Super Spring Sale Shines Light on Some Top Wii U and 3DS eShop DealsĀ
@aaronsullivan I still believe in value.
Just like Pink Floyd and Beatles still sell their albums at full price, I believe in Nintendo's quality
On the other hand I'm happy as a consumer for I plan on buying a ps4 in a couple of years and i'll be playing all those blockbusters for a penny

Re: Nintendo Download: 2nd April (Europe)
@RJBurgess i'm a bit disappointed actually as I feel SM64 suffers from poor framerate and awful sound. This or I forgot how it was in the original 64

Re: Nintendo Download: 2nd April (Europe)
@whodatninja Are they? I might get a buck or two for The Last Story then...
But I really want to play Pandora's Tower, TLS was a tad disappointing game..

Re: Yusuke Hashimoto Outlines His Desire to Continue the Bayonetta Franchise
Make it a longer game then. Bayo games are way too short even with the different difficulties settings.
I'd rather have a new Wonderful101, a much better game IMO

Re: Wii U Enjoyed Its Best Ever Month of US Sales in December, With Yearly Results Beating 2013
@JaxonH I feel the same, everything is so polished. Even Capt Toad is a nice surprise.
Xeno+Zelda+Star fox in the same year?!?! Throw a Metroid there for 2016 and -_-
Re: Review: Chariot (Wii U eShop)
The co-op is really fun. Also the mood of the game is very relaxing and the level design nevel makes it frustrating
It's a very well made game but i think it was made for coop mind. Maybe 7 is the correct score for single player. Coop is definetely an 8 or 9
Re: Review: Chariot (Wii U eShop)
@Prof_Clayton Agreed! Amazing game! Very rewarding gameplay and i'm having a blast with my girlfriend
Re: UK Retail Survey Highlights the Challenges Facing Nintendo

Re: Review: Watch Dogs (Wii U)
@Nap03 Agree, fun game and cant notice that much fps drops and in enjoying thecar sections
Re: Review: Watch Dogs (Wii U)
20h in, I like the game.
It's fun and varied.
I enjoy this much more than any Acreed.
It has its flaws but still a solid 8

Re: Review: Teslagrad (Wii U eShop)
@Andyjm it's just a matter of priorities, money I mean...I spent 7 bucks in Steamworld and was pissed it lasted a weekend. Then I thought, ok not that expensive. For 15 bucks I can get a 2nd-hand big game and that's the reality nowadays.
Re: Review: Teslagrad (Wii U eShop)
I find it difficult to give 15bucks for 8hours max of playing. Just my opinion...
Re: Review: SteamWorld Dig (Wii U eShop)
This game is too short...took me 7hours to do everything...
I wouldn't give it a 9 based on that.
Re: Talking Point: The Wii U May be Best as One of Two Consoles, Just Like Wii
Please stop these bs polls, Nintendo Life...
I know it's your job but just don't pretend you haven't been changing editorial guidelines.
Listen: WiiU is an amazing console, it's slowly becoming my fav ever. Its games, its main franchises are top notch.
I don't have time to play more consoles, my ps3 is gathering dust, it is only normal people only buy one.
Stop this thing, you're becoming Mynintendonews and Wiiudaily all over

Re: Feature: HD Remasters That Would Be Perfect for Wii U
Xenoblade

Xenoblade
Mario Galaxy already 100d both, there's no way I'll do those crazy last missions again
Metroid I'll do gladly again
Super Mario 64 remake I'd buy in a heartbeat
Re: Video: Nintendo Minute Outlines Its Favourite Games of the Past Month
Why no gameplay footage of Xenoblade? Maybe an HD version coming?? Humm?? One can dream

Re: Nintendo Download: 24th July (Europe)
Xenoblade is so good they should be doing some tv series out of it
And why the heck is FE for the wii so expensive? I really wanted to try that franchise
What's with Nintendo and the release of hundreds of Mega Man? Twin Bee feels like a fresh release though
Re: Nintendo Download: 24th July (Europe)
@ModestFan93 you speak bad again of this masterpiece I shall slap you with a placenta
Re: Nintendo Download: 24th July (Europe)
Or a HD version of Xenoblade! I would kill for that...or donate a testicule
