@Damo Hey Damian, the audio from the Mega Drive has been known to be hard to emulate accurately. Would you consider making a video comparison of this version with the original game using that Nomad of yours? Or even the original Mega Drive, which they say has the best sound chip of them all...
The interesting thing about Famitsu review scores is that they're 4 opinions in one. So you have a little statistic on how scores could trend in general.
@JHDKoopman I remember the feeling. The visuals were so realistic, the characters had "round" edges as opposed to all the huge polygons on other consoles, the smoothness of the 60 frames per second... It was definetly a leap from the N64 and PSX. I really love this console.
@ZurrrrBlattTron @DarthNocturnal What did you guys think of Record Keeper? It seemed pretty rich in content, but quite laggy for my taste (tested on a Nexus 5). The assets being gradually loaded like a webpage also didn't look like something from a quality game...
That's the problem with live action Zelda. This was very well made, things looked just as they should. But it simply doesn't work. The series belongs in another medium.
O absolutely love this series. The 3DS one isn't as good as the previous ones but it's still great. I too would live if Nintendo did something new with Pilotwings!
I'm ok with these games being published on the eShop, but I think it's sad that they're "news". Their quality seems comparable to the thousands of crappy games on the Xbox Live Indie section.
This was a very good decision. It's important to make very clear that this is completely detached from the main Zelda series, and shouldn't be taken as seriously. It's like Smash Bros. It plays nothing like any of the characters' original games and that's fine, it's great just to have fun playing with those characters.
Anyone else hyped for the smaller one? The screen is a little larger than the original but it's still lightweight and portable. And then there are the Super Famicom buttons and the cover plates!
I have an original 3DS and if I eventually make the upgrade, I'm definetly getting this smaller version. The screen is even a little larger than on the original!

Where should I look for the news? Kind of lost here.
Re: Play 8-Bit Retro Squid Games While You Wait For An Online Match In Splatoon
This is the first thing I feel bad for not having because of the Amiibo limitation.
Re: Video: Nintendo of America's Splatoon TV Commercial Attempts to Introduce a Theme Song
Is that the singer from the Flintstones movie theme?

Re: Matters Of Import: Cleaning Up The City In 3D Streets Of Rage 2
@outburst Yeah, using the circle pad for these games never even crossed my mind

Re: Nintendo Submits Trademark for NES Controller
@Stubborn_Monkey I agree, same specs and everything. This will revolutionize the market.
Re: Hardware Classics: Sega Dreamcast
It's also the second most beautiful console ever made, after the japanese Mega Drive.

Re: Nintendo Download: 9th April (North America)
These Xenoblade home themes aren't free, are they?
Re: Code Name: S.T.E.A.M. Update Will Speed Up Enemy Turns, More Stock Of Marth amiibo Promised
This has been the main negative aspect from this game, I think a lot of reviews should be updated after the patch.

@ZurrrrBlattTron @DarthNocturnal What did you guys think of Record Keeper? It seemed pretty rich in content, but quite laggy for my taste (tested on a Nexus 5). The assets being gradually loaded like a webpage also didn't look like something from a quality game...
Re: We're Over The Moon With This Zelda: Majora's Mask Game Boy
Loving the 80s skateboard art style from that moon.
Re: Nintendo Set To License All IP to Mobile Publisher DeNA
NX = Nintendo Cross-device
Home console and handheld
Re: Short Fan Film is Set to Chronicle the Final Battle Between Link and Ganondorf
That's the problem with live action Zelda. This was very well made, things looked just as they should. But it simply doesn't work. The series belongs in another medium.
Re: Game Freak and Sega Tease a Collaboration, with a Reveal Due on 11th March
@A01 Poopoodoodoocacapoopledoople, you're right.
Re: Game Freak and Sega Tease a Collaboration, with a Reveal Due on 11th March
@RupeeClock Yeah, I immediately thought of Pulseman too! How cool would that be?
Re: Nintendo Download: 12th February (North America)
Ouch. I wanted to buy Ace Combat at release date, but I guess it will have to wait. Zelda is always priority...
Re: Nintendo Download: 18th December (North America)
Got Mega Man V for 3DS this week, now I got Mega Man IV

Shut him up and make his eyes black again and things will eventually work out.
Re: Review: Super Smash Bros. for Wii U (Wii U)
So it did score higher than Sonic Boom afterall
Re: Masahiro Sakurai Explains Why Mewtwo Isn't Paid DLC in Smash Bros.
"no paid DLC in development", if I know Nintendo, this means we're getting paid DLC in the next months.
Re: DK: King of Swing Looks Set for a Western Wii U Virtual Console Release
I played it and it was really fun, actually. It feels nice to use the shoulder buttons to grab with each hand. Definetly not garbage.
Re: Review: Super Smash Bros. for Wii U (Wii U)
He isn't joking, what if he reads all this text and the game gets a 2/10?
Re: Review: Super Smash Bros. for Wii U (Wii U)
I wonder if it will score higher than Sonic Boom
Re: The November Club Nintendo Rewards Are Now Up For Grabs
@Toincoss It's not nostalgia goggles. I still enjoy it immensely every time I play it.
Re: Review: Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest (Wii U eShop / Super Nintendo)
Just look at that honeycomb stage. This game can bring some powerful nostalgia.
Re: Castlevania: Aria of Sorrow to Complete GBA Trilogy on Wii U Virtual Console
I finished this one on the original GBA, under a large lamp on the kitchen. It was great.
Re: Video: Take a Look at All of the 3DS HOME Menu Themes
@OneBagTravel Same here. Just wished there were lighter colors for the basic theme...
Re: 3DS System Update 9.0.0-20 Is Now Live with Home Menu Themes
@davidevoid I'd like a theme with the art from your avatar.
Re: Nintendo 64x64: Pilotwings 64
O absolutely love this series. The 3DS one isn't as good as the previous ones but it's still great. I too would live if Nintendo did something new with Pilotwings!

I have an original 3DS and if I eventually make the upgrade, I'm definetly getting this smaller version. The screen is even a little larger than on the original!
Re: New Nintendo 3DS Models Announced
What's improved on the screen?? Larger sweet spot? Or simply a different LCD technology?
Re: Shigeru Miyamoto Confidently Outlines Nintendo's Move From Casual To Core
Gaming consoles for "hardcore" gamers;
Quality of Life for casual gamers.
Maybe that's what they're aiming for
Re: Image & Form's Olle Hakansson Teases New SteamWorld Game
@Artwark I feel the same. The game is kinda pointless to me. And on top of that, I'm personally not really into the art style and setting of the game.
Re: Footage of Rad Retro Spin-Off Mighty Gunvolt Emerges
I'm kinda think this is more exciting than the main game...
Re: Brinstar Confirmed as Classic Stage for Smash Bros. 3DS
So no chance of a Zero Suit Luigi?
Re: The Sega Genesis is Now 25 Years Old
Just look at that. That's the best looking console ever made.

Re: Sonic Boom: Rise of Lyric Set to Add "Two Fan Favourite Characters"
Are there fan-favourite characters other than Sonic, Tails and Knuckles? I thought no one cared about all the others
Re: Wii U System Update 5.1.1 is Now Available
More stability is always welcome, specially for us who leave the system in the upright position.
