@Ridley True, but Other M wasn't by Retro and though I think they could already have done that already with the 3DS game. I'd rather have them alternate between Donkey Kong, then Metroid and so on.
Why? Why deem Donkey Kong as them having "unfinished business" since they just released the 3DS version and Metroid hasn't been updated at all since 2010? That is not logical to me.
Ironic for me how I played Link's Awakening alot when I bought it on eShop last year, but now that everyone is celebrating it, i'm playing Ages and Seasons.
Likely the very last major release the Game Boy/Game Boy Color era received, as late as 2002. I'm planning on getting this along with Oracle of Ages and Oracle of Seasons. It definitely seems like a must-play game in general. Once i'm finished with it, i'll buy the DSIWare sequel.
It's essentially a definitive DS in which it's like a combination of a regular DS and an iPhone. A largely customizable handheld in which you can also download games on, both old and new.
Cool, though i'm not hugely interested in a game like Harvest Moon. I just bought Wario Land: Shake It earlier this month and i'm saving for when the Zelda Oracle games release on May 30th.
Word puns were never funny to begin with. The only funny thing at all about them is how facepalming they are. But even then, that has gotten tiresome to me as of late.
The 2006 Wii launch line-up in retrospect isn't too much much to brag about either. I know it's ultimately about quality over quantity, but as hyped as Wii U VC was, you'd think that its line-up would be somewhat close to that. :/
Someone give me a definitive answer for what i'm about to ask, why isn't it hard for me to choose a choice? My only choices are either Super Mario World or Not Downloading These. Do I have poor taste? Am I too picky? Am I just not interested? WHY?!?
At this point, the only eyecatching one is Super Mario World. If you've downloaded it before, you can redownload it again for $1.99 or somethin', right?
"I know it is coming, and I do not fear it, because I believe there is nothing on the other side of death to fear. I hope to be spared as much pain as possible on the approach path. I was perfectly content before I was born, and I think of death as the same state. What I am grateful for is the gift of intelligence, and for life, love, wonder, and laughter. You can't say it wasn't interesting. My lifetime's memories are what I have brought home from the trip. I will require them for eternity no more than that little souvenir of the Eiffel Tower I brought home from Paris." - Roger Ebert, R.I.P.
It is not games that make people commit acts which impact this world negatively, it is the critical thinking skills and common sense which shapes the way people act.

Re: Super Mario 3D World is "The Grand Culmination" of The Best Ideas From Past 3D Mario Titles
No more 2D or 2.5D games for now Nintendo. I wanted true 3D games like Sunshine.

Re: Retro Chose Donkey Kong Over Metroid as Its First Wii U Title
@TheN64Dude And why not choose Metroid since Other M wasn't as strong as it could have been?

Oh, so it's in June instead of July? Cool.
Re: Shantae 3DS Virtual Console Release Date Creeps Ever Closer
@tsm7 This article pointed out that Wii U Virtual Console releases aren't just dumped ROMs. Legal work is required along with the manuals that come along with the digital purchases, as well as changing the controls appropriately for its re-release on a current console, so I assume the same thing applies to the 3DS. https://www.nintendolife.com/news/2013/05/talking_point_the_wii_u_virtual_console_has_started_but_not_with_a_bang

Re: Wii U Virtual Console Launch Lineup Is Revealed
@Pikachupwnage I assume if they made such a big deal about Earthbound, that they're expecting us to wait for the bigger releases.

When it mentions Super Metroid, can that be used for the Wii U version?
Re: Video Gaming's Unexpected Critic Passes Away After Battle With Cancer
This is what he said regarding his death:
"I know it is coming, and I do not fear it, because I believe there is nothing on the other side of death to fear. I hope to be spared as much pain as possible on the approach path. I was perfectly content before I was born, and I think of death as the same state. What I am grateful for is the gift of intelligence, and for life, love, wonder, and laughter.
