I'm not very impressed with the look of the game, I really think they should have gone for all 2D graphics instead of 2.5D. I have no doubt the game will be fantastic, though, considering who is making it. I'm counting on perfect controls and playability and a really challenging but fair difficulty
15% on Double Dash?!? It surprises me, I didn't know people actually liked it. I think it's the worst Mario Kart game by far, as it's pretty much the only one I don't like. I voted Mario Kart 8, I think 8 and 7 are in a league of their own
Mega Man Zero!
So happy about this, the Nintendo DS Mega Man Zero Collection was such sloppy ports. I'm finally going to get to play the Zero games with the controls changed to resemble Mega Man X. In other words, dash with the A-button instead of L
This is a pretty bad port. The field of view is much smaller than on the SNES, so you have much less time to react to incoming bullets and enemies. Also, you can only play up to stage 4 unless you play on hard... what were they thinking?!?
Yes! At last we get some more Castlevania releases in europe. I expect the GBA games will be released in the coming weeks.
A question; Weren't you supposed to get a free Shovel Knight theme for 3DS if you bought the game? I can't find the theme in the theme shop, so I just assumed it would be released this week, but it seems like it won't. Have I missed something?
I don't like that a lot of them have the same music, I would've bought more of them if they had different tracks. I got the Luigi theme, but I would've also bought the Yoshi theme if it had music from Yoshi's Island for example.
Anyway, I hope for Mega Man and Metroid themes in the future. I bet they will release a bunch of Pokémon themes in the end of November.
I bet A Link to the Past, A Link Between Worlds, Minish Cap and the Oracles games goes on sale next week
This week I might pick up Gargoyles Quest II, I've been wanting to play it since I read about it in a Nintendo magazine in the early 90's, but never got the chance
On the other hand, I don't think I will have the time to play it in the near future, because of Warriors Orochi 3 Ultimate being released on friday, and Hyrule Warriors 2 weeks after that. Those games have a tendency to eat up a lot of time.
I've already bought every Mega Man game released on Virtual Console, on both 3DS and Wii U. But I will definitely pick up Super Punch-Out and maybe Pac-Man.
I thought Battle Chip Challenge was pretty awful when it was released back in the day. I really couldn't get into how the battles work in that game. So I think I might skip it and just wait for Battle Network 2, which is really good.
Awesome, I'm so happy they show Mega Man some more Virtual Console love
I hope the Mega Man Zero series also comes out soon, because I would love to play them again with the button layout changed so I can dash with the A button instead of L. It was so stupid that the Mega Man Zero Collection for Nintendo DS didn't have customizable controls, because that must have been a really easy thing to include.
A Link Between Worlds. I was blown away with how good it was. Especially the fantastic dungeons, which I think are the best Zelda dungeons by far
My honorable mentions are A Link To The Past, Link's Awakening, Majora's Mask and Zelda II.
I have played every Zelda game except Spirit Tracks and Skyward Sword, so I guess any one of those could have taken the top spot if I had played them. But most likey not ;P
This trailer makes me want to play this game. The gameplay looks very old school, which I love, and the music reminds me of Doom Will buy this when/if it comes to Europe.
WTF Konami!? Why did they release the american Contra III last week instead of the much cooler (and more nostalgic for most europeans) Super Probotector, and now the european version of Mystical Ninja when the american version is better? What were they thinking?

Great week for Virtual Console, both Axelay and Demon's Crest are fantastic

Re: Nintendo Download: 1st January (Europe)
I'm thinking of buying GP Legend, one of two F-Zero games I've never played (the other one being F-Zero X).

Re: Nintendo Download: 25th December (North America)
The arrival of Super Mario Advance 2: Super Mario world gives me hope that they will release the SNES version of Yoshi's Island. Come on, Nintendo!

Wild Guns is fantastic

@97alexk It was released last week. Now go buy it right this minute!
Re: Nintendo Download: 13th November (Europe)
@chiptoon Only Golden Sun and the Mario Kart 8 DLC is published by Nintendo this week, and Shovel Knight wasn't published by Nintendo either.

And yet, no GBA Castlevania or Vampire's Kiss, what's going on Konami?
So disappointed. Again.
Re: Nintendo Download: 23rd October (Europe)
Still no Castlevanias? Damn you, Konami! waves fist
Re: Nintendo Download: 16th October (Europe)
I was hoping for some of the Castlevania games that US recieved, so I'm a bit disappointed. Awesome that we get Donkey Kong Country, though.

First, Mega Man III, brilliant game. Then, Metroid on discount

Re: Areal Campaign Suspended By Kickstarter
Probably because they claimed that Vladimir Putin pledged the last $30 000.

They need to do this for Virtual Console.

I'd love an adapter for NES and SNES controllers though

Re: Level-5 Has No Plans To Launch The eShop Version Of Inazuma Eleven In The UK
Is the sound and graphics upgraded from the original or is it just a straight port?

Re: Wii Karaoke U Doesn't Censor Explicit Lyrics
I think it's great, at last a karaoke game without censorship ruining the experience
I don't approve of any form of censorship when it comes to music, films or video games.
