Too awesome, but if he was going to go with a suit from Echoes, the Dark or Light suit would've looked more impressive. Great job on this, though (now add color =P)...
Great review, Corbie. I started playing this about a year back, but I lost my save and didn't feel like continuing. I'll definitely add it to my list for when I buy a 3DS...
Also, now it's Waluigi's turn to shine. Give him his own platforming game, Nintendo! It worked for Wario, so why not take a chance on his lanky brother? Do it...
"The participants at Tekken were all over eighteen, it was a group of big, brawny guys. Some of them were almost in their forties. I was like, "It'd be faster if you just fought in real life!" (laughs)"
The guy's got mad skills. Some points look like they either can't happen or he just went so fast that the game hiccuped and let them (like Mario double jumping in the castle). Great video, though...
Man, this article was a great read. There's nothing like a room full of people duking it out in a shooter/racer/fighter to get the blood flowing. GoldenEye is always a good time, make sure you guys have that one on tap for Saturday...
Also, I'm greatly pleased that the best Street Fighter player won while using Guile (at least that's what's implied) and not the down+front+punch standbys like Ryu or Ken. Kudos to you. Sonic Boom!
As long as the DLC for games is developed post-release, and not already finished when the game ships, but held back from the full game so that they can charge us for it later. I'm sure Nintendo will handle this right...
Also, there's no Waluigi in Mario Kart 7?! I am outraged. Hopefully this egregious oversight is corrected by the time I do own a 3DS...
I've downloaded about 10 off that list, and I'd love to get the rest, except I ran out of room already. I'll have to see about picking up and SD card or two so that I can download the rest. Hopefully there's no time limit on these, unlike the last batch...
An excellent game. While I do own the original cart (and have for a while), I'll definitely re-purchase it once I own a 3DS. A 10/10 in my book (but I'm very biased when it comes to Metroid)...
@Marcel: As rogue_agent said, Super Metroid did have save points, but they didn't restore your health. Super Metroid also had health and missile restoring stations like this game...
Pretty grand gesture on Nintendo's part, but not making GBA games available to those who chose to wait would still alienate part of the fanbase. It does sound like a bit of a ploy to sell a few more units at the current price before dropping it down...
Still, though, Nintendo loves printing money, so I doubt that they really have "no plans" to make GBA games available to everyone...
It sounds like it's coming along great. I am saddened by the removal of the backflip and long jump, though, but I'm sure the roll move will work out well...
The concept sounds good, it reminds me a lot of Def Jam: Fight for NY and the story mode of Wrestlemania XIX. Also, Undertaker is totally channeling his inner Shang Tsung with that outfit...
I've never played a Valve game, but their reputation speaks for itself. I'd definitely make it a point to buy their games if they released on the Wii U...
Hope the next article of this kind is about Bethesda...
This game actually sounds interesting, especially considering that the only Naruto games I've played before have been fighters, which tend to bore me easily. Maybe if I can find it cheap once I have a 3DS, I'll pick it up...
Great review, Thomas...
Also, 5/10? What else do you expect from a Genin...

Re: Fan Collective Planning Metroid Music Release
I'm all over this...
Re: Nintendo: "Experience of Playing", Not Tech Specs, Key to Wii U
"...the experience of playing will always be more important than raw numbers."
Great philosophy; it's why I'll always buy Nintendo...
Re: Gearbox: Wii U Out-RAMs Xbox 360 and PS3
@Chrono_Cross: I bet Metroid on Wii U will be amazing...
Re: Japan Gets Customisable Club Nintendo Polo Shirts
Surprise, surprise, there's no Metroid version...
Re: Spirit Camera Event Set to Haunt San Francisco
Sounds like it'd be fun. I'm nowhere near California, though...
@Objection: Probably because the event runs from 9PM to midnight and Nintendo wants to play it safe...
Re: Gearbox: "No Other Platform Can Do What Wii U Can"
"...opens up their Kimono"? That expression struck me as odd, but good to know that developers are stoked about the Wii U...
Re: BIT.TRIP Runner 2 Could Dash Onto Wii U
BitTroid, you say? Yes, please...
Re: Donkey Kong and Pikmin Could Have Had Cameos in Super Mario Galaxy 2
Finding Samus or her ship in one of galaxies would've been a nice touch...
Re: This is Meloetta, Pokémon Number 648
Cute...
Re: Review: Mario Party 9 (Wii)
Great review, James. This one's definitely on my list...
Re: Iwata Hits Out at Nikkei's "Gossip Magazine" Tactics
He does not look amused, all right...
Re: Talking Point: Achievements, Trophies and Wii U
I've said it before and I'll say it again: achievements are pointless...

Re: Review: Wario Land: Super Mario Land 3 (Game Boy)

In Soviet Russia, princesses kidnap you!
Re: Hulu Plus Arrives on Wii
@irken: I'm also wondering about that. Hopefully they don't, so I can take advantage of this...
Re: Pandora's Tower Reaches Europe on 13th April
Is that what the box art looks like? Niiice. Hope it comes to the US...
Re: Feature: Nintendo Characters Looking for Love
Samus will always be my pick...
Re: Review: One Piece Unlimited Cruise SP (3DS)
That's a damn shame. Does this game use the FUNimation dub? Also, like BulbasaurusRex already asked, how's Brook's voice?
Re: Tekken Boss Harada Inspired by Super Smash Bros.
"The participants at Tekken were all over eighteen, it was a group of big, brawny guys. Some of them were almost in their forties. I was like, "It'd be faster if you just fought in real life!" (laughs)"
Ha! XD
Re: Mario Sneakers Are Perfect for Jumping Platforms
I would definitely wear a pair of those black ones...

Good news, everyone!

Re: Feature: 3DS and the Trend of Colourful Handhelds
@super-nintendo: If that lovely Emerald Green 3DS is real, I want it sooooo bad...
Re: Can You Complete Super Mario Bros. In Under Five Minutes?
The guy's got mad skills. Some points look like they either can't happen or he just went so fast that the game hiccuped and let them (like Mario double jumping in the castle). Great video, though...
Re: Ono and Harada Keep Scrapping in Tekken 3D Trailer
@James: "Forgot Mortal Kombat vs. Street Fighter — just put Ono and Harada in a game and we'll be happy."
Did you mean forget?
Also, amusing video...

Re: Iwata: Zelda on Wii U Won't Look Cheap
I hope that whenever Metroid shows up on Wii U, Mr. Iwata feels the same. Samus would look amazing in HD (not that I really care about HD, though)...
Re: Your Favourite WiiWare Demos Are Now Back
I've downloaded about 10 off that list, and I'd love to get the rest, except I ran out of room already. I'll have to see about picking up and SD card or two so that I can download the rest. Hopefully there's no time limit on these, unlike the last batch...
Re: Europe Joins the Mario Party on 2nd March
I'm definitely picking this one up...
@StarDust: Good thing Waluigi isn't dead, or else I'd have to find a new character to play as!
Re: Review: Metroid II: Return of Samus (3DS Virtual Console / Game Boy)
An excellent game. While I do own the original cart (and have for a while), I'll definitely re-purchase it once I own a 3DS. A 10/10 in my book (but I'm very biased when it comes to Metroid)...

Re: Samus Shoots 3DS VC in North America This Week
About time! When I eventually get a 3DS, this will most likely be my first purchase (along with 3D Land)...
Re: Review: Super Mario 3D Land (3DS)
Great review, Corbs. Definitely a game to pick up once I have a 3DS...
Re: A Better Look at Those Samus Aran Statues
They both look awesome, but I definitely prefer the power suit version...
Re: Super Mario Converse High-Tops Let You Jump Real High
The castle ones rule so hard. I'd buy them if they came to the States and were cheaper...
Re: Metroid Celebrates its 25th Anniversary Today
25 years of greatness. Happy Birthday, Samus! I hope you have many more great games in the future...
Re: FAQ: Nintendo Ambassador Program and Free eShop Games

Re: Metroid Database Translates Other M Artwork for Your Pleasure

Re: These Are Your Club Nintendo Elite Rewards
These pins look pretty awesome. Glad I managed to make it to Platinum before the deadline; that's the hat trick...
Re: Feature: Staff Memories of Sonic the Hedgehog
