Dreamcaster-X

I have it on XBLA. It's a very pretty game but the novelty wore off for me quite quick.

Well that just came out of nowhere didn't it??? No pre-release hype, just sort of sneak it in to the e-shop. Not sure if that's the best idea but word will spread like wildfire. Good to see it's finally available for others!!

Here come the "Why can't Metroid crawl" comments back to Miiverse!!! = )

@SteveW Well that's pretty lame then. Oh well, saved me $20. Wii U only then!!

Seriously looking forward to playing this on a Nintendo console, the platform the series was birthed on but I may just pick up the PS3 retail version as well. I can see that becoming a potential scarce commodity.

One of my most anticipated titles this year and it's a remake!!! That statement speaks volumes to me!!!

This article has almost 10 times as many comments as the other articles on this site & you wonder why websites post Pachter's comments???? Hits,hits,hits,hits,hits,hits,hits....it's the ONLY reason!!

@onex I know!!! This was the game that actually pushed me to get a Wii U on launch day. It's almost finally here!!

This & ALL of Nintendo's first party games will make for a happy happy fall/winter this year!!!

Okami+Pikmin+Viewtiful Joe = The Wonderful 101!!!!!

About time!!

@GearsOfWarU Not all games are in Japanese that have region locks. There's been several titles that got English translations that were released in Europe but not America & vice versa.

The device isn't illegal. Pirating ROMS is but the device is yours to do with as you see fit just like any PC or other computing device. There's not much Nintendo can do as far as stopping what people will do with Ouya once it's in their homes.

@SCAR392 Ok, that tells me all I need to know.

@Akira_1975 Yeah, their DRM policies are pretty scary. The sad part is that the fanboys are buying it up without a care in the world to the future of their rights.

@SCAR392 So with Wii U sinking does that mean the 3DS is sinking too since according to your logic they're connected in brand? You're reasoning makes no sense. Do you even own any other console besides Nintendo?

@SCAR392 They're NOT pushing it! It was barely a keynote at their presentation. It's a bonus feature nothing more, nothing less.

@SCAR392 Do you even read financial reports on the companies? Sony's TV division has been the anchor dragging the company down, not their Playstation division. Sony has significantly restructured their entire company especially their TV & Cellular divisions within the last 2 years to compete. Playstation is one part of the company that has been performing well.

But Sony isn't requiring you to own both a Vita & PS4. You do realize that with Sony's Gaikai cloud technology you will be able to play Playstation games on a Vita anywhere with a wi-fi connection??? It's not going to just be tethered to your console inside your home or within 300 feet of it. That's a VERY cool feature if you own both systems and something Wii U can't do.

@xSATANACHISTx Yeah, Nintendoland is great. I love the Metroid game, wished that were online though. That would be killer!

I didn't say everyone subscribed to it. I'm saying for me it's a great value. I could care less if others don't subscribe, it doesn't affect me in one way.
I agree the Vita is also struggling, never said it wasn't. The 3DS is killing it right now and probably will for years to come. The Vita/PS4 mandatory requirements are actually quite genious for Sony. It doesn't require that much more development and it adds cool features to both systems. Why would that be a negative? It's a win-win for consumers who own both consoles.
I can't agree with your last statement as Sony not knowing what they're doing with video games. That comes across as extreme fanboyism. They have an amazing set of first party studios producing excellent award winning titles and have come from behind to surpass Xbox 360 sales worldwide after a year head start and a BIG price gap. Their other divisions might be struggling but the Playstation brand is doing just fine.

@Yorumi They may not be reading this but then again they might. I'm sure they have marketing people who check these boards & articles, then again maybe they don't. LOL! Nintendo likes to do their own thing, always have.
I don't think this thread has been negative at all. I'm on Mii-verse almost every day & I have had similar discussions on there with fans as well.

@russellohh Yeah before the Spring update I was getting them at least once a week & it did't seem to matter which game either, it even happened on Super Mario U & Nintendoland. I've only had it happen twice since then so yeah big improvement. I'm not alone. I see it on Miiverse all the time but as I said it has gotten much better since the update.

@billychaos We post because we do care. We want Nintendo to do better, we want Nintendo to succeed. It's not all sunshine & roses everyday.

@russellohh Now, now....I've had more hardware freezes on my Wii U than any other Nintendo console I have purchased & I've had them all. They aren't immune to technical difficulties. It has gotten much better since the last update but the first few months I was getting them about once a week.

@SCAR392 Sony barely even talked about the PS4/Vita connectivity. They mentioned it a bit but then that was it. I'm sure more details will follow but in no way is it being perceived as a Wii U alternate. They didn't even demonstrate it once at E3 except to say it's coming next year. I think Sony has a longer road plan for the Vita than what was initially thought and I think the PS3 connectivity was scrapped because the PS3 just didn't handle it well. As for them charging for online, I wasn't surprised. It doesn't affect me because I've always been a Plus subscriber because I wanted early access to demos, betas, etc plus they give you AAA games all the time & yeah I know you don't own them but it's still an incredible value and saves me money in the long run.

@Yorumi Same here. I don't let the negativity about Nintendo affect my enjoyment of their consoles. I think the Wii U has had the best launch since Dreamcast. I've had the best times with this system and have had plenty to play but Nintendo needs to shake things up just a bit.

@IxnayontheCK I didn't realize by being an owner of the multiple systems and being subjective & fair counts as being a troll. These are legitimate discussions.

@Yorumi I agree with that assessment but where the Wii U is faltering is in it's week to week sales. PS3 & 360 were selling 75-80 thousand a week 6 months after launch while Wii U is doing about 10-15 thousand. That's what has everyone concerned. They came out of the gates with a record breaking launch & then it just stalled and went into a nose dive.
A price drop with their upcoming library will help immensely. It did wonders for the 3DS.

@SCAR392 Vita is NOT a key selling point for PS4. It will be a nice accessory for their cloud gaming & cross play but in NO WAY is it a key selling point. It could be in a year or so but right now the PS4 is standing on it's own.

@SCAR392 Dude the only system the Wii U is outselling currently is the Vita. My point is they're already struggling against current gen systems and even their predecesor the Wii is outselling Wii U.
It's only gonna get worse when Sony & Microsoft drop the price of their current systems to $199 plus the next gen systems starting at only $50 more and Nintendo is gonna have their hands full.

I'm not saying their doomed at all but it's going to be incredibly tough to be competitive without a lower price point later this year.

@TechnoEA Yeah I would put Nintendo number one as a game developer with Sony at number 2 right behind them. Sony takes risks and makes clever games too. If you look at the breadth of first party Sony studios catalogs you will see some of the best games ever made so for people to think Sony doesn't make great games is just ludicrous.

Yeah I don't want my comments to be taken out of text. I think the Wii U will sell enough consoles eventually for Nintendo to turn a profit and it's going to have amazing first party games which I am so excited for but I'm wise enough to know they've got a tough road ahead without a price drop.

Yes but the sales have dropped off a cliff since launch. It's a BIG concern. I mean they're really bad right now & the perception of the system in the public eye isn't good either.

I think Nintendo makes amazing games but the Wii U is struggling and badly. I'm not in denial about that like some people. I hope their upcoming lineup can right the ship but a price drop is gonna be a necessity.

@SCAR392 LOL! Yeah cause that's worked out well for them so far right?

Unfortunately it will be a big issue for many gamers. I love my Wii U & I've been more than happy with it so far but c'mon they're gonna have to drop the price. $399 gets you the most powerful next gen console with a 500 GB hard drive or you can pick much older technology for $349 and a 32GB flash drive. I LOVE Nintendo but I'm not delusional....the price WILL be an issue.

I've all but given up on the Wii U's VC. It's just a joke at this point.

To the people asking why Pachters comments are posted on the internet. The answer is simple, he makes controversial comments that drive hits. Pure & simple.

@AcesHigh Which will spark a whole new debate amongst fans trying to figure out where they were used.

This game is gonna sell SOOOOO many systems along with Smash Bros. 2014 is gonna be a very strong year for Wii U!!!

One of my most anticipated titles this year!!! I'd like a Super Mario Sunshine HD too!!!

@bezerker99 It'll happen but not til the fervor for A Link Between Worlds dies down. I'd say late 2014 or early 2015.

@antdickens Not surprised at all. If it had been planned they would've announced it in the beginning as a feature. I'm ok with that. WW rocks!!

Nintendo just needs to buy Platinum Games already & secure that talented studio!!

Guess that puts an end to the additional dungeons rumor!!

Even $249 would drive sales or even better go all SNES on their butts & make Super Mario U the pack in at $299!!

Yeah I was a little disappointed at first but it does make sense. Go with the franchises that will push systems then release the Metroids, F-Zero's, Starfox's etc...they gotta get more systems sold & if this is what it takes so be it.

So everyone boycotting Ubisoft's games will help the Wii U's software sales situation how exactly???

It looks really good in motion. As disappointed as I was not seeing a different Retro Studios game this looks great. Hopefully they return to Metroid again soon!
