Nobody uses Techno Blast on Genesect. It has much better alternatives in its movepool. It may be its signature move, but it is outclassed by the likes of Flamethrower et al. in every way.
It's such a shame Rare did HD ports for XBLA of both Banjo games and Perfect Dark, but then stopped and never did this one. Especially since I wanted one of this most of all.
@Wheels2050 Getting you into the shop is the whole point, it's a promotional tactic. GameStop/Station probably pays Nintendo some amount for exclusivity on this, so they can get you into the store in the hopes you'll buy something else while you're there....
TWEWY is definitely the most innovative RPG of the last 5 years (followed by Xenoblade), so a sequel would be very welcome! Especially on the 3DS, which has a real dearth of RPGs so far.
@HADAA Patience is a virtue. Your making it sound as if "need to play it right now" is a life-and-death situation. Surely anybody can wait a day for the mailman to deliver his or her beloved video game without dying.
Someone on NeoGAF said this game never came out in Europe (even though Wikipedia and GameFAQs say otherwise), and therefore may never come to the PAL Virtual Console either... Anyone know if this is true? Would be a real shame.
All-CGI trailers are always disappointing and uninteresting. When are devs finally going to learn it is gameplay we want to see, not FMVs and cutscenes.

Re: Want to Know The Real Reason Star Fox Was Renamed in Europe?
Lylat Wars sounds cooler than Star Fox tbh.
Re: Rest Easy, New Characters Are Coming To Smash Bros. 3DS and Wii U
The more new characters the better. I'm hoping for Shulk, Tom Nook, Midna, Zoroark, and the eShop Bag.
Re: Rumour: Nintendo to Launch Wii U on 18th November in North America
Remember, remember, the 18th of November...
Re: Nintendo Download: 30th August 2012 (Europe)
Star Stacker is very addictive, but I wish it were the SNES version (Super Star Stacker).
Also still waiting for Mole Mania

Re: Take a Sneaky Look at The Legend of Zelda: Hyrule Historia
The alternate Midna concepts in this book are pretty awesome, though the very best design did win out in the end as the one we currently got.
Re: Conker's Bad Fur Day Madness and Vulgarity The Work of "Twisted Genius"
It's such a shame Rare did HD ports for XBLA of both Banjo games and Perfect Dark, but then stopped and never did this one. Especially since I wanted one of this most of all.
Re: Tips: Two New Super Mario Bros. 2 Secrets
@3DSLUIGI Several posters on GameFAQs are actually reporting the same... I wonder when we'll get definitive confirmation.
Re: Pick Up Keldeo For Free in Pokémon Giveaway
@shinpichu Yeah, Onett's nostalgia goggles are pretty firmly glued to his head.
Re: Tips: Two New Super Mario Bros. 2 Secrets
@Marioman64 Especially because this game is actually called Bros, so it's as much Luigi's game as it is Mario's.

Re: Tips: Two New Super Mario Bros. 2 Secrets
@Gavin_Rozee Then NL should probably update/correct this article, since it says the sparkle is lost "forever" but you say it can come back...
Re: WayForward's Shantae Heading To 3DS Virtual Console
More GBC games are always welcome.
Re: Hands On: Learn With Pokemon: Typing Adventure
@I-U If NoA doesn't announce it you could always import, since DS games are region free
Re: Review: Mystical Ninja Starring Goemon (3DS Virtual Console / Game Boy)
@Usagi-san "The one life thing is brutal though, I still haven't gotten past the first stage."
Have you tried (ab)using save states? That might alleviate that problem somewhat.
Re: Square Enix Teaser Looks Awfully Like The World Ends With You
TWEWY is definitely the most innovative RPG of the last 5 years (followed by Xenoblade), so a sequel would be very welcome! Especially on the 3DS, which has a real dearth of RPGs so far.
Re: Hands On: Learn With Pokemon: Typing Adventure
@Superconsole Me too
Re: Hands On: Learn With Pokemon: Typing Adventure
@Tasuki DSi is now the main DS model, and that isn't discontinued, so...
Re: Nintendo Download: 23rd August 2012 (Europe)
Aren't those last week's Theatrhythm DLC songs?
Re: Hands On: Learn With Pokemon: Typing Adventure
Here is the official trailer:
I can't wait!
Re: Square Enix Takes Quarterly Earnings Hit
Theatrhythm is the best game on the 3DS so far, so it's not a matter of quality.
Re: Wii U Box Art Breaks Cover
@Aviator If only the boxes were Blu-ray sized as well...
Re: Square Enix Takes Quarterly Earnings Hit
Please bring over Bravely Default and take my money.
Re: Wii U Box Art Breaks Cover
@jtt235 Next time use imgur please, a link that long is ridiculous.
Re: Planning To Download New Super Mario Bros. 2? You'll Need About 45 Minutes
@HADAA Patience is a virtue. Your making it sound as if "need to play it right now" is a life-and-death situation. Surely anybody can wait a day for the mailman to deliver his or her beloved video game without dying.
Re: Wii U Box Art Breaks Cover
The colors look a bit cheap and gauche tbh. Also not sure about the return to the GameCube box's circle banner.
Maybe it'll grow on me or look better in person.
Re: Nintendo Download: 6th August 2012 (Europe)
No Theatrhythm DLC???
Re: Pre-Order Harvest Moon: A New Beginning, Get a Plush Yak
I want one, it is so adorable... <3
Re: Nintendo Download: 2nd August 2012 (Europe)
Gonna dl the FFX battle theme... It's very catchy
Re: Nintendo Download: 26th July 2012 (North America)
What an embarrassment of riches!
Re: Mole Mania Burrows onto US eShop Tomorrow
Someone on NeoGAF said this game never came out in Europe (even though Wikipedia and GameFAQs say otherwise), and therefore may never come to the PAL Virtual Console either... Anyone know if this is true? Would be a real shame.
Re: 3DS System Update is Available Now
"Any excuse to show this model"
It does look mighty fine!
Re: Feature: Batman's Nintendo Adventures
Another Nintendo appearance you forgot: he also made a cameo as the 472nd Pokémon.
Re: New Super Mario Bros. 2 Official Website Reveals Complex Plot
@TheHermit "Miyamoto originally penned Wario to star in NSMB2".
It would be cool if Wario as an unlockable playable character was the prize for collecting the million coins. The ultimate troll.
Re: New Super Mario Bros. 2 Official Website Reveals Complex Plot
80 stages? How does that compare to NSMB and NSMBW?
Re: Nintendo Offering Incentives for Retail Downloads in Japan
I always resell my games after I'm done with them, so I guess I am stuck with physical.
Re: Review: Kirby's Pinball Land (3DS eShop / Game Boy)
I hope they put on Tilt 'n Tumble next, that could work perfectly on the 3DS.
Re: Talking Point: 3DS XL's Media Potential
@Wilford111 But it does have Netflix.
Re: Nintendo Download: 19th July 2012 (Europe)
@Tsuchinoko That link Bass_X0 posted wasn't for me, but for you. Don't try to turn things around.
Re: Michael Pachter: Activision Demanded Wii U Pro Controller for CoD
@NINTENDOFACE You can use the GameCube controller.
Re: Nintendo Download: 19th July 2012 (Europe)
@Tsuchinoko Again, no it doesn't. You're making stuff up.
Re: Michael Pachter: Activision Demanded Wii U Pro Controller for CoD
That's weird, since CoD actually plays better/more comfortably with the Wiimote... Shows you he doesn't even try out his own games.
Re: Nintendo Download: 19th July 2012 (Europe)
@Tsuchinoko "I'm like, 50% sure Japan will get Mario Golf this month. NA actually got it before us."
No they didn't...
Re: Nintendo Download: 19th July 2012 (Europe)
Etro's Champion is actually from FF XIII-2, not from "FFS" (whatever that may be).
Re: Disney Epic Mickey 2 Trailer Sets the Scene
All-CGI trailers are always disappointing and uninteresting. When are devs finally going to learn it is gameplay we want to see, not FMVs and cutscenes.
Re: Nintendo Download: 12th July 2012 (Europe)
A week without VC releases is a week not lived
For shame, NoE.
Re: Feature: Bizarre Nintendo Life Search Results - Volume 2
This article would read better if you put the commentary after the quotes.
Re: Major Retailers List 3DS XL at £179.99
That's $280... So the 3DS XL is a whopping $80 more expensive in the UK than in the US.
And the UK one doesn't even come with a charger like the US one.
Re: E3 2012: Pikmin 3 Sprouts On Wii U
MotionPlus, ugh. Automatically lost all interest.
