@WaveBoy I don't know if you already downloaded them to your wii my friend, but if you loved CONTRA 4, you are gonna absolutely fall for CONTRA AND CASTLEVANIA REBIRTH by wayforward, it is just amazing what one developer can achieve simply by returning to the basics without all those fancy graphics, complicated controls and idiotic stories.

The problem with KONAMI is that they are expanding castlevania JUST TOO MUCH, I love this series from castlevania 1 for the nes to castlevania circle of the moon on the gba, because to me circle of the moon was the last great one in the series. I simply don't effing know what konami wants for the series anymore, the metroidvania style has been used to death that now is simply repetitive and they also tried the shadow of the colossus/god of war ripoff combo that didn't pay well with the fiasco that was lords of shadow for the ps3 and x360. I just don't know why not make all the games like CASTLEVANIA THE ADVENTURE REBIRTH (by wayforward), it was awesome in terms of simplicity and it had awesome graphics, sound and bosses; that's what I loved about the older games: It was just you controlling your belmont, your whip and your sub-weapon, that´s it. I just want konami to hand the franchise over to wayforward, as they also did a spectacular combo with contra: CONTRA REBIRTH AND CONTRA 4.

I really don't mind the 3ds being the DEFINITIVE MARIO console, if nintendo keeps releasing excellent quality games then I don't mind bue on the other hand, a few non-mario titles would be fantastic, nintendo JUST RELEASE these games: a new 2d or 3d metroid game, the all-new zelda you promised, an ice climber sequel and if shigesato itoi doesn't mind, either a mother trilogy or mother 4. that would be swell.

WOW, JUST WOW, just downloaded it and I'm glad I spent 2 bucks on it, it really is an underground gem; to everybody like me that just read the review, do yourself a favor and give this a try. I applaud the simple approach the developer took with this game. NO COMPLEX THINGS THAT RUIN IT, just mario/megaman/contra/sunset riders controls: the control pad, a button to shoot and a button to jump, THAT´S IT. Oh by the way, the bosses are also fantastic (something my all time favorite eshop game mutant mudds sadly lacked....).

@CowLaunch My thoughts exactly, I don't want to be pessimist but something tells me it's gonna be rushed again....

@c0ldfire16 Super mario rpg legend of the seven stars was a project between squaresoft and nintendo, I won't deny that while rpg was a perfect game, both mario and luigi and paper mario took the best from it and evolved perfectly on their own; there won't be a sequel because squaresoft holds the rights of characters like geno and mallow and also because I think nintendo thinks it unnecessary if they already have smash hits like m/l and paper m. Super mario rpg was awesome but it retained a lot of squaresoft fighting style, while the other series are so nintendoish and that makes them perfect.

I KNEW IT!!!!! I really had the feeling nintendo would make the 4th installment of mario and luigi after sticker star was announced, and I wasn't wrong!!!! The graphics look pretty neat; the 3ds really is on a roll right now that the best combo nintendo could pull right now is if they announced a metroid or a zelda game (or both) for the 3ds. I, too, agree that the best villain that could suit this installment is Wart.

@Zombie_Barioth Another problem that I saw while reading the manga is that red is autosufficient and doesn't need companions all the time, also he captures a lot of the pokemon he sees, giving him a great versatility on his team and in-depth on his personality; while ash captures a pokemon every 30 or 40 episodes and needs the help of his companions almost all the time. I agree with you, winning a league isn't an endpoint, it would give ash more perspective and ability, but no, every season he's a noob losing to random guys at the leagues, go figure.

@Zombie_Barioth Yeah, I saw that one, my gf showed me that episode, he was against some weirdo with a darkrai and a latios; I think darkrai pulverized 4 of his pokemon and latios the remaining 2, and the weirdo still had 4 to go. I just don't get why ash doesn't capture any legendary pokemon, HELL even in the manga red not only won the kanto league and became champion, he also faced mewtwo and destroyed him.

@Five-seveN There is a cheat to kill that b-stard pretty quickly so you don't have to fight with him forever but I don't know if the cheat was retained on the 3ds version: use the elecman weapon against him on its eye, once the lightning strikes him QUICKLY PAUSE AND UNPAUSE THE GAME like 4 or 5 times, this trick will make that instead the lightning hits him once, it will hit him from 3 to 5 times in a row killing him asap. I also highly recommend using it against the megaman clone on the next level and dr. wily phase 2. Hope I was helpful.

@SanderEvers I just don't get the idea that he starts anew on each region, then trains like hell, then he learns new techniques, then he gets all the badges and gets the know all the big shots of each region and finally reaches the league just to be pulverized by another noob. KIDS!!!! THE LESSON HERE IS: IT DOESN'T MATTER IF YOU DO YOUR BEST, YOU'LL STILL LOSE ETERNALLY!!!!

It is an excellent movie which introduces a fantastic and lovable character: Vanellope Von Schweetz; the part with her car being smashed by ralph and the part where ralph is willing to sacrifice his life for her almost made me cry. I really hope for a sequel.

Just cancel the series already and make a new one like the trailer of black and white 2. I don't want an app where I can see ash lose another pokemon league.

@Five-seveN 7 is pretty good actually, it has tons and tons of stuff for you to find, and is very dynamic, most didn't like the transition to 16 bits but I think it's actually a pretty cool game. 8 is ok, not bad, but it lost that special touch 7 had, but I really don't think those 2 will be ported to the 3ds or wii though. I hear ya with the dlc for 9 and 10, capcom's a bit greedy when it comes to that. For 9 I only got protoman and hard mode and for 10 I only downloaded bass because he is my favorite robot in the series.

@Justaguest I don't think so, eeveelutions are always pure on 1 type, but we gotta wait for more details.

I too, am inclined to say that NINFEON or wtv its name will be here in America will be a flying type, it reminds me a lot of almost all the flying-type related gym leaders but I also think there will be another one as well, EEVEELUTIONS NEVER COME 1 AT A TIME, in kanto there were 3 (not counting the recipient, eevee), in johto 2 and in sinnoh 2. It is weird but I gotta see a steel-type or a dragon-type eeveelution, I'M REALLY CURIOUS to see how that turns out.

@Five-seveN As much as I love megaman 9 and 10 (specially 9) I really don't think they're gonna be ported to the 3ds; I really recommend the series to you my friend if you haven't played none of them. I would suggest you play the series in the following order so you can better appreciate it :
first play the first 3 (wait for the third one to be ported to the 3ds, by my standards is the best one and also the longest), then skip to 9 and 10, then skip to megaman 7 and megaman and bass if you can, then skip to megaman 5 and 6, and finally megaman 8 and 4. The problem with the following 3 in the nes series (4,5 and 6) is that capcom kinda lost inspiration by then (I consider 4 to be the worst of the series) and they really revived the 8 bit megaman difficulty and feel with 9 and 10. Happy Gaming!!!!

This game is a classic alongside 3 and 9 (the better of the series in my opinion is 3), it deserves the 10 even though the part with the laser cannons boss on wily's lair is JUST FRUSTRATING. I really think the game deserves the 10, the first 3 games on the saga are just that: classics; too bad capcom decided to downgrade the series on the awful mega man 4....

Well, after the ubish-t for ninja gaiden and rayman, things are looking up. IT'S SOMETHING.

@OGGamer The main problem right now with nintendo is exactly that: THE DATES, the best games just take forever to be released and there are horrible gaps between them, at least the gap between fire emblem and luigi's mansion 2 isn't that much.

Ubisoft should just release the game already for wii u or keep their mouth shut, and I'm pretty sure that once ps4 and x720 hit, zombiu will be available there, and once that consoles are out, history will repeat itself like the wii: Capcom publishes SUPER ULTRA HYPER OMEGA STREET FIGHTER 5 LEGACY SPECIAL FOILED TECHNO EDITION, it naturally comes out for ps4 and x720, and a wii u port will a)never come out b)come out like a year after it arrived on those consoles.
Nintendo's on their own by now, they need to keep innovating and they have the tools and franchises to do so: microsoft releases HALO 9 IN A COUPLE OF MONTHS it will fall hard on its face if nintendo releases a new 2D metroid game for wii u; OH GEARS OF WAR 10 IS COMING OUT?, well, here you have a crossover platformer title between donkey kong and mario; A NEW FPS FRANCHISE YOU SAY????, let me introduce you the long awaited sequel for ICE CLIMBER; psvita finally releases a great game that isn't a port besides gravity rush????, here, take it from behind, we present you KID ICARUS UPRISING 2 and the MOTHER TRILOGY COMPILATION.
See?, nintendo HAS the tools, they just need to use them to their advantage, if they do it,the wii u will be a sales beast like the wii was.

The problem with Nintendo right now is their decision to rely in third parties for the Wii U; after tecmo, ubisoft and capcom's douche moves to launch their exclusives for sony and microsoft also.
Nintendo needs to just forget on third party support ASAP; let's face it Bayonetta 2 and The wonderful 101 won't be nintendo exclusives as they are developed by Platinum formerly clover who developed Viewtiful Joe which originally was a Nintendo exclusive before being also launched for PS2.
These 2 months were a wake up call Nintendo, forget 3rd parties exist anymore, they won't support the wii u much longer like they didn't do it with the wii, summon old franchises like ice climbers and mother and come up with fantastic games asap to support the u or the system will be a sega saturn.

@shinpichu It's not the delay per se, it's about the ridiculous amount of time it has been delayed and the fact that it was supposed to be a nintendo exclusive. First it was scheduled for nov 30, so ubisoft said: MMMMM, we need more time, let's release it feb 26..... And now that we are so close of having another CRUCIAL REASON for picking up a Wii U, they go full Yao Ming on us and say: You know that game with the awesome trailer you've been wanting all this time????? Well, f--k it, 'cause we want to milk money from PS3 AND 360 owners too, so wait for it another 7 months!!!!!.

Pardon me for this ubisoft, but that is a DOUCHE move if you ask me.

@sym1 I was planning to buy a Wii U, because the system really looks awesome, but after 2 months, to my interests in games, there are only 3 worth buying: new super mario, nintendo land and zombiu (I already got batman for PS3); so I can relate to your frustration, mostly 'cause I REALLY wanted the system.

Man, Nintendo better be ready, they are having WAY TOO MUCH TROUBLE:

-Ninja gaiden 3: razor's edge no longer being a exclusive
-Fire emblem awakening delayed in America
-Wii u virtual console's slow movement and re-buy of your previous wii games if you want them in the main menu along with the fact that most wanted games like mutant mudds deluxe keep getting delayed.
-New and exciting games for wii u far and away: Mario kart u will be presented at e3, which I can calculate will be released august or september to say the least; Wind Waker HD, from what I've read is still in development, again, watching nintendo's schedules, it will be released september or october; Super smash bros u and 3d will come at Q1 2014 if we're lucky enough; Wonderful 101 and Bayonetta 2 have no updates of how development is going; Pikmin 3 I can see it coming june or july.
-Now this, the final kick in the nuts: Rayman Legends, a must-buy for this system, no longer an exclusive.

I mean.... COME ON NINTENDO!!!! whatever happened????, you had the power with the wii, fantastic release after fantastic release and a terrific end for the system with skyward sword and the kirby games; if ubisoft, capcom, konami, etc etc etc etc just keep ditching you, F--K THEM!!!!; if you ask anyone which are the best games for the wii.... 75-80% of them were developed directly or indirectly by Nintendo.

I really hope E3 will be their trump card because things aren't looking neat for the Wii U.....

Here in Mexico, we have something called GamePlanet, it is something like GameStop, so we are equally f..ked about the fire emblem awakening release date as well; some say feb 5, others say feb 8, and some others say feb 14 or 15,. Nintendo really screwed this one big time, I mean, come on, this game is one of the 3ds biggest hits of all time, it is eagerly awaited by almost all 3ds owners and famitsu almost gave the game a perfect score, but NO, nintendo was just lazy with their most powerful game (and potentially game of the year) and screwed things up without any apology regarding this matter. BRAVO NINTENDO!!!!! BRAVO!!!!!!

@Captain_Balko At this point I wouldn't post that kind of comments here my friend, the enraged mob could burn you alive.

@shinpichu Agreed.

I really support anything zelda related, and as much as I WOULD LOVE MAJORA'S MASK 3D, I'm a little more biased towards a new zelda entry in the series; ocarina had its remake 2 years ago and nintendo is currently remaking wind waker, so it's 2 remakes so far, and that's enough for now.

Nintendo should remake majora's mask in one of the 3 following scenarios:

a) Towards the end of the 3ds lifespan
b) Towards the end of the wii u lifespan
c) Beginning of the 3ds succesor

And yes, the oracles are just amazing games, they just deserve the eshop release being the relics they are by now, specially ages, one of the best examples as how zelda dungeon puzzles should work (mermaid's cave, I just loved you so much!!!!)

@krunchykhaos STFU, wind waker is the best zelda along with a link to the past. It was a simple, fun game; also, the discovery of new islands and treasures on the sea was a terrific idea, WIND WAKER HD will be a masterpiece for sure.

@slidecage Seriously man? I played shadow dragon and it was boring and generic as f..k. The 2 main problems with that game are:
a)Uninspired and bland graphics
b)Unlike FE7 if you want gaiden chapters, you must kill characters, the game forces you to do so. Let me repeat this: a strategic game known for having the rule that once a unit is killed it is gone forever for good FORCES YOU TO KILL MANY OF THEM TO ACCESS EVERYTHING IN THE GAME.

I'm really looking forward to have a demo for this game, because I'm just not convinced from what I've seen. FE: AWAKENING had me hooked from what I saw on the videos, nintendo truly resurrected fire emblem and gave it back the glory the GBA games possesed; Castlevania, on the other hand..... well, we all know what a disastrous game lords of shadow on the ps3 and x360 was, generic as f..k.

I knew it, Nintendo finally returned FIRE EMBLEM back to its roots, this is it, the TRUE succesor to the gba games, the ds, gamecube and wii games were just meh, really didn't blew me away like the legendary fire emblem 7 did. If the full game is like the demo, then kid icarus needs to get nervous, because a worthy contender for the title of BEST 3DS GAME finally arrived!!!!

@vegeta044 I was kinda thinking the same thing, but I like a bit more fire emblem and cobalt blue is one of my favorite colors or you can have both if you wanna start a collection.

At first glance, this is by far the weakest looking starters ever, chespin is a remodeled oshawott, froakie just seems uninspired and fennekin (the coolest by far) is a fusion of zorua and vulpix; the best ones in my opinion are the kanto and sinnoh ones, they just express originality, these ones just fell flat for a first inside look. I guess I'm gonna wait to see the evolutions to fully judge them.

EFFING FINALLY, I've been waiting and waiting for the localization of this bundle, I can finally give my zelda 3ds to my gf, and get my hands on this perfect piece of machinery. Really don't care if it's a normal 3ds though.
