I'm glad you're not afraid to give it the score it deserves just because it's a Zelda game.
Zelda's my favourite series, but TP sort of left me with a sad face. It was fun, but not quite as fantastic as previous games. Sort of a "been there, done that" sort of feeling.
8 is still a great score, and the review is pretty much dead on. Nice job.
Yikes, it does certainly seem like there is a bit of hate on this great series. I have only played the demo of this episode, but I've played and beaten 1, 2, and 4. Dangeresque 3 (episode 4) is my favourite and had me laughing the whole time.
@Wiiloveit: I know, I didn't even know episode 3 was out. I'm just living in my own little world. Well, I bought this anyway after. Haven't had much time to play it though. I bought Sonic Unleashed lol.
Yikes, I should really stop spending so much money.
Come on! I just spend a massive bundle on Tales of Symphonia, Zack and Wiki and Animal Crossing/Wii Speak, not mention some DS games, and now I find that Episode 4 came out of Strong Bad? And it's the best one?! I gotta budget myself .
Dangeresque 3! Sounds like an epic episode. They're probably going to be several inside jokes in this one, unless they do a nice job of trying to explain it properly.
I was reading some of the comments on the GoNintendo article ( http://gonintendo.com/?p=58164 )about this. Some of the people mention how it sounds similar to Guitar Hero song downloads.
The Wii channels (Wiiware and VC games) will appear in the channel menu even if they are stored on the SD card. When you click on a game that is stored on an SD card and play it, the game will transfer quickly to the Wii internal memory and play from there.
This sounds like it makes the most sense. Whether if it's the case or not, I don't know. But when Mr. Iwata says "you will need to go through just one process in order to transfer Virtual Console or WiiWare software stored on an SD card to the Wii console", it sounds like it is the case.
From Gamespot... 9:23] "Iwata is addressing the problem of Wii storage," he says. "Soon you will be able to download and store virtual console and WiiWare titles directly on your SD card, and play them off your SD card. This will make the Wii download experience much easier."
I'm glad it's selling so well. Other game creators were tracking this as well, weren't they? I'm talking about Mr. Igarashi (Castlevania)! I hope to see Sega and Nintendo get in on the action with Sonic 4 and Super Metroid 2.
Yeah, if you don't know what Homestarrunner is or aren't a fan, this isn't the game for you.
After reading your review again, I have come to fully agree with your score. Although it's a good game, it's still a bit limited. Future episodes will most likely mend that.
Good review. It's a fun game and pretty funny. I found myself laughing a lot throughout the game. I'd played Sam and Max before so I knew what to expect with this.
That's too bad. It looks like a fantastic game. I don't have a 360 nor am I planning to get one so unfortunately I'm going to have to skip this altogether .
Besides, I wouldn't be able to download it anyway. I have 0 blocks left on my Wii. Exactly zero.
I just finished the story. Really funny stuff. I still have some things to collect though, and making those Teen Girl Squad comics is hilarious. But other than that, it's a fairly short game. Lots of fun while it lasts though.

Re: The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask
This game is amazing. It's also quite challenging.
I love it.
Re: UPDATE! New Features Rumored For Tatsunoko vs. Capcom
Oh wow, Capcom. It's not enough you're releasing this to the west, but you might be adding online?
Fantastic. +1 respect points for Capcom.
Re: The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask
Brilliant game. Fantastic in design, incredible in concept.
The game's nothing short of a masterpiece.
Re: Review: The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask (N64)
Great score for a great game.
Re: Review: Pyoro (DSiWare)
I downloaded it, expecting nothing but a quick game I can play on the go.
I tried doing that a couple times today with "The World Ends With You". Obviously that didn't work.
Now I have Birds and Beans, or Pyoro. It's a pretty nice game I can play for a couple spare minutes when I'm out.
Re: Welcome to the New Look Nintendo Life!
Wicked change, guys!
Re: Japanese Virtual Console list - April 2009
Yes! Yes! Majora's Mask! Please head on to North America immediately after!
Re: Review: Onslaught (WiiWare)
9/10, only $10, online multiplayer...I'm in!
And, to be honest, you are the only ones whose reviews I trust. If you say it's good, it's good.
Re: Review: Snowboard Riot (WiiWare)
Wow, I was expecting something decent from this game.

Re: Icarian: Kindred Spirits
Woah, what an incredible artstyle! I'm looking forward hearing more about this .

Re: Strong Bad Episode 4: Dangeresque 3 Coming To US WiiWare On Monday
Dangeresque 3! Sounds like an epic episode. They're probably going to be several inside jokes in this one, unless they do a nice job of trying to explain it properly.
Re: Mega Man 9 Stop-Motion Video is Great Beyond Words
That was amazing!
Re: Shining Force II: Ancient Sealing
I'm a Fire Emblem fan so I'm enjoying this game thoroughly. It's rather simple, but it's very fun.
Re: Sorry Kids – You're Not Allowed To Share Your Nintendo Points
That's silly, but not a major inconvenience, since "Nintendo Points" can be bought in different quantities now.

Re: WiiWare Games To Be Directly Downloadable To SD Cards
@ thewiirocks: Darn Gamespot. Making things up...
This isn't much of a solution if this is it.
Re: WiiWare Games To Be Directly Downloadable To SD Cards
From Gamespot...
9:23] "Iwata is addressing the problem of Wii storage," he says. "Soon you will be able to download and store virtual console and WiiWare titles directly on your SD card, and play them off your SD card. This will make the Wii download experience much easier."
So yes, we will be able to play off it directly.
Re: Review: Bomberman Blast (WiiWare)
Just downloaded this. This game is great!
Re: USA WiiWare Update: Bomberman Blast And Art Style: ORBIENT
Woohoo! Bomberman!

Re: Review: Mega Man 9 (WiiWare)
WHAT?! IT DIDN'T GET A 10?
Just kidding .
Great review for a great game.
Re: Mega Man 9 Challenge List
Fight a boss for 10 minutes? That's epic. Survival mode really .
19 Gamer's Day - Clear the game 5 times in 1 day.
Some of these challenges are both amusing and challenging!
Re: Mega Man 9
Wow! This game is great! I beat Concrete Man and am now trying to conquer Jewel Man (I just go buy descending order starting from top left ).
Re: Mega Man 9 Confirmed For US Release On Monday!
Awesome! I agree with Mr. chippy. Next week after should be Bomberman Blast and I'm more than satisfied.
Re: Capcom's Mega Man 9 Press Kit Goes Retro
@ dr.mario: They should give 51!
But that's a neat idea they did. I really hope this comes out Monday. And I hope the week after is Bomberman for North America.
Re: Review: Strong Bad Episode 2 - Strong Badia the Free (WiiWare)
Nice review. I just downloaded the game. Funny stuff, so far.
Keep it up!
Re: Review: Bomberman Blast (WiiWare)
Fantastic. I can't wait to get this when it comes to North America. That is, IF it comes to North America .
Re: Bomberman Blasting Onto The Wii
Fantastic! A definite must-get for me.
Re: Get Ready To Go To Battle In Swords & Soldiers!
Epic! This game looks good. I'll definitely be watching for this one.
Re: A Look Inside The Mega Man Boutique
Very nice! This game is on its way to being the best thing on Wiiware! My 1000 points are sitting idle waiting for this game .
Re: Review: Strong Bad Episode 1 - Homestar Ruiner (WiiWare)
Yeah, if you don't know what Homestarrunner is or aren't a fan, this isn't the game for you.
After reading your review again, I have come to fully agree with your score. Although it's a good game, it's still a bit limited. Future episodes will most likely mend that.

Re: Strong Bad's Freezing Issue for Attractive People!
That's strange. Fortunately I haven't had any problems.
Great game by the way .
Re: USA VC Releases: Star Parodier and Break In
I'm just waiting for Majora's Mask. This doesn't interest me in the slightest .
Re: Strong Bad Episode 2 - Strong Badia the Free
Awesome. 5 episodes in total, huh? I just finished the first. It's great.
Re: Braid Is Too Big For WiiWare
That's too bad. It looks like a fantastic game. I don't have a 360 nor am I planning to get one so unfortunately I'm going to have to skip this altogether .
Besides, I wouldn't be able to download it anyway. I have 0 blocks left on my Wii. Exactly zero.

Re: Strong Bad Episode 1 - Homestar Ruiner
This is a great game! I'm having quite a bit of fun with it, although I now have exactly zero blocks left.
Re: Strong Bad Episode 1 - Homestar Ruiner
@Objection_Blaster: Apparently it's 319 blocks.
I may have to delete something for it...
Re: Mega Man 9 - Flicker Included!
I'm glad you can turn it off. The game still looks amazing .
Re: Reggie Says Storage Issue Isn't Only For Geeks And Otaku!
Epic! Gimme mah extra storage space, plox!
Good old Reggie. Always watching our backs .
Re: Mega Man 9
Looks amazing. Definitely a worthy purchase.
Re: USA WiiWare Update: Gyrostarr
If I had enough Wii points, I'd get this. If I also had enough space...
Re: Only Geeks And Otaku Want Extra Storage On The Wii
How absurd.
Re: Pirates: The Key of Dreams - First In-Game Video
That looks dreadfully boring. Still, you have to hope that it turns out for the best!
Re: Castlevania Producer Hints At WiiWare Instalment
That would be incredible! Let's hope it's true!
