"Although the game has no confirmed platform it's a perfect fit for Wii, and with New Play Control versions of Pikmin and Pikmin 2 already available for the machine it seems obvious to complete the trilogy on Wii."
We ain't got Pikmin 2 for the Wii! Only the first one!
"The musical score of the game is as impressive as it is varied. There are absolutely tons of different tunes to enjoy throughout the game and the Super Nintendo's sound chip is put to good use with a solid set of audio effects to further complement them."
THAT is something the recent Kirby games failed at; I always thought the music from the GBA and first two DS games stunk. Every time I hear the music from this game, I always think to myself, "They just don't make this anymore."
Here's my score: MM - 7/10 MM2 - 7/10 (a little overrated) MM3 - 9/10 MM4 - 8/10 (not too bad) MM5 - 8/10 (bosses and levels are a bit bland) MM6 - 8/10 MM7 - 9/10 (my personal favorite!) MM8 - 7/10 (too cartoony) MM9 - 6/10 (darn that game's too hard!) MM10 - 9/10 I remember playing 1-5 on the old NES before my dad accidentally fried it. Mega Man 7's my personal favorite because I grew up with the SNES and Genesis, and I think MM4-6 SHOULD'VE been made on the SNES!
I usually let the critics pick at the games before I buy them. Nintendo needs to do something (besides twiddling their thumbs and justify the shovelware in the name of "casual gaming") about the stupid games that keep slipping through the cracks. I think 3/4 of the games sold on Wii and DS, download and otherwise, are too cheesy for their own good.
Hmmm...I don't know. I would like to see Mario in a Sonic game. Call me nuts, but I think Mario can play Sonic style. He's gotten into crazy situations before!
Hey cool! I only played the 3rd one and wasn't in the mood to get the others.
@Sneaker13: Capcom DID release MegaMan 1-8 on a single disc. It's called "MegaMan Anniversary Collection", and it's a USA exclusive. Ditto with "MegaMan X Collection."
ROFL I played this game a couple of times. I actually beat this game (with the help of a game genie of course!) I eventually lost interest in it. It's scary!

Re: E3 2010: This Kirby Advert Looks Familiar
I've thought of that commercial myself when I saw Epic Yarn.
Re: E3 2010: Sonic Colours Looks Seriously Tasty
I hope Sega gets it right. I thought that the more recent ones were disappointing.

Re: Nintendo Download: 11th June 2010 (Europe)
Wow cool! I thought Europe had FFIV. I guess I was wrong. o_0
Re: Feature: Hyperkin Retron3 Console Review
Looks like this system succeded where the FC3 Plus failed. That is SO on my birthday list!
Re: Nintendo Download: 7th June 2010 (North America)
Oh joy. Another no-show. Guess I'd might as well go to the game shop and get me some old games. Bleh.
Re: Charles Martinet Shares Your Pain, Waluigi
I think it would be cool if Wario and Waluigi get together on a big adventure!
Re: Miyamoto Loves it When Games Resonate
"Also in Italian Super Mario Galaxy 2 he wears a top hat and a monocle. FACT."
@Raylax: Prove it.

"I've been playing games for 31 years and I think if any game in the history of video gaming deserves a 10, it's this one."
That's a long time, Corbie. I've been playing games for almost 20 years! I know a good game when I see and play one. This game looks good!
Re: Hiroshi Yamauchi Gives Millions to Cancer Treatment Hospital
I didn't know that old coot was still alive! O_o
Re: Sonic the Hedgehog 4 Speeds Past Summer Release Date, Into Late 2010
Nobody likes delays, but, then again, maybe it'll keep this game from suffering the same fate as Sonic 2006.

Re: Nintendo Download: 17th May 2010 (North America)
Weehawww! Kirby Super Star! That won't make me sell my original, though.
Re: Nintendo Download: 10th May 2010 (North America)
Another ho-hum week for me. I guess I'll get Cave Story, MegaMan 4, and Rondo of Blood when I get around to it.
Re: La Mulana Developers Discuss Religious and Rating Issues
Censor it. That ritual is kinda heinous...
Re: Kick Back and Relax with Some Super Mario Kart Jazz
Tch. One of the Bowser Castle stages, that's for sure.
Re: The Real Mario's Yearbook Photo is Unearthed
@Aronos Mario WAS called "Jumpman"! Mario was first mentioned on DK Jr.
Re: Tetris Attack
How come the score's 4/10? I'd give it an 8/10! Forget the Pokemon!

MM2 - 7/10 (a little overrated)
MM3 - 9/10

Re: Talking Point: The Virtual Console's PAL Problem
Glad I live in the USA!
Re: Nintendo Download: 12 April 2010 (North America)
Tch. Another no-show this week. Nothing for me this week.
Re: Round Table: Mario's Past and Future
I kinda liked Mario Sunshine. I guess those annoying platform worlds kinda killed the game.
Re: Nintendo Download: 29th March 2010 (North America)
@Tsuchinoko
I'm looking forward to Magical Quest, provided that the poor game doesn't get shot by certain "Megamen."
Re: Review: Sonic Classic Collection (DS)
Peh. They should've made something like this for the PSP! Durn suckers never learn.
Re: Review: Dance Dance Revolution: Mario Mix (GameCube)
I actually have this game. Kinda felt too kiddy for me. At least you get to play as Luigi with 2-Player mode!
Re: Want Kid Icarus? Hey, Just Ask
Heck sure! We could use another game with ol' Pit!
Re: Review: Final Fantasy II (Virtual Console / Super Nintendo)
I remember my dad playing this one a long time ago. He also played FF3 as well. Oh the memories! Long live the SNES!!!!
Re: Review: Sonic & SEGA All-Stars Racing (Wii)
For once Sega did something decent!
Re: Nintendo Download 1st March 2010 (North America)
Mega Man 10 looks pretty good. I thought #9 was a tad insane for my tastes. I salute anyone who can beat #9 easy!
Re: Sony: Publishers Pulling Resources From Wii Development
@MasterGraveheart
I agree! I remember when third-parties would make better games than what they're making now.
Re: Talking Point: Does Nintendo Need to Exercise More Quality Control on the Wii?

Re: Nintendo Download: 8th February 2010 (North America)
Looks like another dud on the VC. Nintendo needs to quit goofing around with two-bit schemes. We ain't as dumb as we look.
Re: Sonic Playable in Super Mario Galaxy 2?
Hmmm...I don't know. I would like to see Mario in a Sonic game. Call me nuts, but I think Mario can play Sonic style. He's gotten into crazy situations before!
Re: Review: Yume Koujou Doki Doki Panic (NES)
@warioswoods
Actually, it's just called Super Mario USA. Didn't appear in Japan til 1992, one year before Super Mario All-Stars.
Re: Sonic the Hedgehog 4: Episode 1 Coming to Wii
That's the most decent news I heard in a while, and I so seldom buy a WiiWare game!
Re: Japanese Virtual Console list - February 2010
Personally, I kinda like MegaMan 4. It's MegaMan 5 that I think's the weakest. Not to mention MM5's the rarest game (I think. I don't know about UK).
@Tony
Ring Man's a piece of cake to me. You tried charging the Pharaoh Shot?
Re: Analyst: Nintendo DS2 to be Launched Next Year
Where did that GBA port in the bottom come from? Is that a fake or what?
Re: Mega Man Zero Collection Coming to DS
Hey cool! I only played the 3rd one and wasn't in the mood to get the others.
@Sneaker13: Capcom DID release MegaMan 1-8 on a single disc. It's called "MegaMan Anniversary Collection", and it's a USA exclusive. Ditto with "MegaMan X Collection."
Re: Time Split: Chronos Twins DX Gets A Date
Set on the planet Skylar? That's my name!
Re: Nintendo Download: 28 December 2009 (North America)
Looks like "crash and burn." Pilotwings joke!
Re: Japanese Virtual Console list - January 2010
I'll be darned! Kirby Super Star Stacker! I think that one needs released over here.
Re: Nintendo Download: Blobs, Fighters, Sumo, Magic, Pets, Starships and One Last Notebook (EU)
Puzzle, fighters, and blobs, oh my!
Re: Review: Jack Bros. (Virtual Boy)
Kinda wish this game was for the SNES. It would've been perfect! I like the music especially.
Re: Feature: Retro GT Clothing Interview
Controller hoodie looks cool! I wish our controller looked like that; ours looks a bit bland compared to that
Re: Yet Another Sonic Collection Inbound - This Time For DS
Sounds cool! I do wish they'll make something like this for the PSP. Sonic on the go!
Re: Nintendo Download: Monkey Island, Zoos, 'Copters, Face Stealing and Puzzles! (US)
Never heard of Combatribes until today. Doesn't look as good as Streets of Rage or Final Fight to me.
Re: Nintendo Download: Pokémon, Whips, Fighters, Bowling Balls, Robots, Intersections and Demos (US)
Cool! I was wondeing when Indiana Jones' Greatest Adventures would show up! I have the real deal, and it IS one of the best games out there!
Re: Nintendo Download: Bikes, Frogs, Dragons, Bombs, Plankton and Cybernoids (US)
Tch. The VC service is getting stupider and stupider. None for me until Nintendo tosses something worthwhile.
Re: Feature: Retro Duo Console Review
Does this thing play Kirby Super Star, I ask foolishly.
Re: Review: Kid Klown in Crazy Chase (Super Nintendo)
ROFL I played this game a couple of times. I actually beat this game (with the help of a game genie of course!) I eventually lost interest in it. It's scary!
