Re: Rumour: Kirby's Amazing Mirror for 3DS GBA Virtual Console

DrKarl

e-Reader support would be great. If they do add support, I would also like to see the cards that were only released in Japan and never made it here.

Also, since everyone keeps saying Minish Cap, let me say, "No Minish Cap in the initial 10 please." I feel that it lacks the magic that the Nintendo developed Zeldas seem to have. A Je ne sais quoi if you will.

Re: The Thought of a Shooter-Only Future Makes Iwata Sad

Remember when New Super Mario Brothers Wii came out, and many gnashed their teeth and spit venom over the lack of online play?

I wasn't one of them. Local multiplayer was the ONLY way to go with that title. Why? I can guarantee you that there would be a group of players that would join games just to pick up other players and toss them into the nearest pit. Over and Over.

It's also known as griefing, and Nintendo was wise to side step the entire issue in my opinion.

It sucks that many people don't have enough people to enjoy multiplayer locally, and it also sucks that many Nintendo games would fail in an online setting. So it goes...

Isn't Tetris DX for the Game Boy Color the same? If it's not, someone please let me know what to do to wipe the high score table. It is totally annoying that there is the name of some random dude who will forever be better at Tetris then me.

Re: Translated Episodes of Game Center CX to be Aired Online

DrKarl

I am very excited about this. I love this show. If you want a taste of what to expect, there are many subbed episodes up on Youtube.

I recommend that you first verify that all parts of the episode are available before watching it. I got burned the other day on the Rockman 3 videos. The last part wasn't there, so I don't know how it ended.

Re: Pinball Pulse: The Ancients Beckon

DrKarl

I just went to download this to my 3DS and what do I find? This is one of the select few games that DIDN'T make it over! Argh! I really hope that this means that they are revamping this game for 3D.

Can anyone confirm/deny this possibility?

Re: Guides: Upscaling Your Retro Consoles for HDTV Sets

DrKarl

Lag on HDTV's is a big problem these days. I fear that we are currently in the dark ages with regards to using older consoles on newer televisions. I wonder how much additional lag this device adds?

I have found that using the Wii component cables along with the "Game Mode" on my TV helps, but I always wonder how much lag there still is over playing on a conventional display.

It is my hope that future consoles and TV's will be able to talk to each other across the HDMI connection. The TV would tell the console the amount of delay, and the console could adjust accordingly. That way all players would have the same gaming experience the game developer intended.

Re: Review: Space Ace (DSiWare)

" If you are specifically looking for a game that will frustratingly force you to repeat unforgiving sequences until you've memorized them, just so that you can move on to another set of sequences that expect you to do the same, then look no further."

To me, this describes Bit.Trip Runner. Can you comment on what differentiates the Dragon's Lair style from the Runner style of game play? I have always had an interest in the Lair games, but have never gotten around to purchasing them.
