@sevex If you're promising to cure or prevent terrible conditions such as Alzheimer's of course you need to back it up scientifically. Would you want me to advertise a medicine with me just making it all up?

@MitchVogel sigh You just love repeating the same false grammar in just about every news, don't you?

"As for the company's known plans for the Blue Blur, Sonic Boom: Fire & Ice will be releasing sometime this year."

A game is released. The publisher releases the game. It's really not that hard. Especially if (what I assume) English is your mother tongue.

@MitchVogel What a horrible news. Not the content is necessarily horrible, but the news itself. How it was written. You know what a decent writer/journalist would have done? Give context when it's as relevant as it is here.
The only reason Minecraft is in the ninth spot is because there are barely any games on the Japanese eshop because Nintendo used to have this strict rule where a developer/publisher would have to have an office in Japan to be eligible of releasing a game on the eshop.
Hence there are WAY less games out there than in the West.

The way you have overblown this news by not giving out necessary information, people are going "Oh, wow, such a tremendous success" as can be seen in the comments.

Nice way of creating misinformation there. Not the first time either.

"(Sonic Powered Co., €1.00 / £1.00 until 7th January, then €14.99 / £12.99)"

Wait, what? Seriously? That much of a spike?

@Darknyht And I thought I was the only one who didn't quite like how AC moved away from its tile-based layout to an entirely free-scrolling village. Those two gripes you had with Wild World are the exact same ones I had. ^^

Meh, I thought this was a rather poor spin-off even in 2005.

@Harmonia NoA has absolutely nothing at all to do with either the game or the trailer.
Nice try, bashing blindly there.

@DiscoGentleman Asobemasu doesn't mean "to play", it literally means "can be played". Hence Damien translated it as "enjoyable to play", similar to "playable".
"To play" would simply be asobimasu, not asobemasu.

@NintyMan It is mentioned in the article.

looking at the tag line

Wow, what a way to screw up a timeless quote.
It's "Oh! My car". It's even in the frickin' first screen of the article.

Wow, this is a pretty badly written review, sorry.

Somebody who proclaims "after over 25 years of gaming, his love of Nintendo is no longer just a phase." should at least show SOME sign of recognizing that this is just an entry in a series of games. Yet you are giving us no context whatsoever. From your review I can't tell whether it's any different from the prequels or whether you simply didn't like the flow and style. Don't you have anybody on your team who could compare this to the prequels?

@ reviewer: "Perpetual Blast is an endless shooter. [...] The idea of Perpetual Blast is simple: find and destroy 100 boxes as fast as you can."

This makes zero sense. How is it an endless shooter when there is a clear goal you are supposed to reach within as little time as possible?

@KirbyKirbyKirby Could have. Not Could of.

@MitchVogel "Gameplay is typical of the bullet hell arcade shooter genre, borrowing heavily from titles such as Galaga or Xevious."

Those are NOT bullet hell shooters. Bullet hell shooters or danmakus are a very special subset of shoot 'em ups. Please get your facts straight. I remember this site already having called just about any shmup a bullet hell shooter on numerous occasions and it's sad. How about calling Project Cars a kart racer? Or Yoshi's Wooly World a 3D platformer?

Now I have no idea how this game actually plays, so for all I know it might be a bullet hell shooter. I can't argue with that. But calling Galaga and Xevious danmakus? Sorry, that's just plain wrong. Danmakus hadn't existed until the mid 90s when games like Batsugun or Donpachi made first babysteps into danmaku territory. By your definition every single shmup would be a danmaku and I could hardly imagine a shmup with less bullets than Galaga.

On another note: When reviewing a shmup, referencing Galaga and Xevious is a bad move anyways. Those two are already vastly different from another and naming just those two granddaddies makes it seem like you simply have no clue of the whole genre, merely bringing up two games you might have played years back.

@XCWarrior How exactly? Because M2 was working on a game without SEGA knowing? Yeah, truly a sign of incompetence...

"Let us know in the comments if you"
Would you please stop that altogether? We know there is a comment section and we know what to post there. Thank you.

@ricklongo The 3DS getting the release doesn't make a Wii U release any better a decision. Why on earth are people complaining that Nintendo isn't getting its fifth (or sixth when counting the 3DS collection) release of the very same 6 games? Even on a console that already has them? Just play the VC releases, especially given how lackluster this package seems to be, when apparently their biggest selling point is something the original games already featured.

@ricklongo The WiiU already has the VC downloads. That's why they don't bother, obviously. No big loss either, really. We already have the games. So what?

@sketchturner But they ARE precise. They're just different from what we are used to, so our inputs might not be the best in the beginning. It's not the controls' fault, though. They are perfectly responsive and precise.

@ueI I never had any framerate issues on the PC version. Completed the game 100% with all collectibles.

Nice. I was playing my importy copy of Trauma Team just yesterday. I wish they'd make a new Trauma game for 3DS or Wii U.

@Pandaman "His new artwork releases every week"

Nope, his artwork doesn't release itself, it IS BEING released. Simple grammar.

@linforcer Where else would we see it? This IS the European release list.

@ All the naysayers: Legend of Kay, Badland and Picross e6. Those are all good to great games. We've had many way, way, WAY worse weeks before.

"After never releasing in Europe"

"After never been [released] in Europe"

"Default language English (Australia)"

Oh my

@Captain_Gonru It's actually a really, really well-made and fun game with a great atmosphere and it will easily last you dozens of hours if you're trying to find all the secrets and get all the achievements.

@6ch6ris6 Never? The screens would be way too small for this to be comfortable.

@ThomasBW84 Thanks for the quick fix

@ThomasBW84 Sapporo, not Sapporu

Haha, nice. Julian (the guy behind Toarcade) is actually a friend of mine, and he's pretty proud that several websites have picked up the story. He's even linked to this article on his fb profile.

@Inkling Um, aren't you a mod or admin or something for NLIfe? I don't think you're supposed to openly call a review of a fellow NLife staff "unfair". You should do this behind the curtain.

@ThomasBW84 Mario Tennis on N64 isn't the first in the series. The first one was on Virtual Boy.

In the context of other reviews on NLife, I don't see why this would get a 1/10. It's not broken, it does what it sets out to do. It's priced lowly. Sure, it offers little content, but so do hundreds of cherished mobile games these days. If it was 5 bucks I'd understand the outrage. And I suppose it already warrants a low score as it is, but a 1/10 seems highly inappropriate.

@daniruy Aladdin on SNES being "amazing"? Yeah, right. Then what is a mediocre platformer if Aladdin (the SNES one) is amazing?

Concerning the titel of the news: Since peanuts aren't nuts but legumes, no person with just a nut allergy would ever have any problem with them. You would need a peanut allergy for that.

@Aromaiden If anything, Nintendo needs to go back to these ideals. They have left them behind long ago.

@Mona-Reggie No, why would you? The Tetron 5 doesn nothing special. It's just an emulator. You could just as easily play it on your PC on an emulator. The Retron 5 does the absolute same things.

"To execute the translated patch in a manner which will allow you to sleep easy at night you'll need an original copy of the game and a Retron 5 console, which allows you to apply patches to original carts."

The Retron 5 doesn't apply anything to carts. If anything, it applies the carts to the patch, since, you know, the cartridges are just used to run an emulation of the game files. The Retron 5 doesn't run the cartridges themselves.

Too few of these (in Europe) IMO.

@BaffleBlend You must've gotten something wrong tehre, because usually the US gets the great games waaaaay before Europe does. But yeah, whenever it's the opposite, the Americans seem to pretend it was always like that.

@Operative "Federation Force, as confirmed by the director himself, is not focused on the exploration and isolation that Metroid is known for. It's focused on action and the ball game. So it's hardly an appropriate comparison, Reggie. Nice try, though."

It is a perfectly reasonable comparison. Your criticism is nothing but a nice try. All you're stating simply means that Federation Forces won't play like a standard Metroid game, but it says nothing about whether it's a good game or not.

@chris_of_ws Kudos to your cool reaction regarding this review. If only more developers were as mature.

@DESS-M-8 I hope you're not being serious. How can there only be one in existence, when you get your hands on two of each? They're just common Amiibos, nothing more.

@ the author of the article: Would you please stop this annoying "don't hate him" BS? It's like you're showing off your stuff desperately wanting people to feel like you've got something better than they do. Especially with something as mundane as a yarn yoshi. They're being released in Europe this week. Thousands and thousands of people will have one. But, ooh, yeah, they're gonna hate you.

"I offered up the understatement "Yes.","

Answering "yes" to a "yes or no" question is no understatement. Being asked whether you're good at Starfox and then replying "I've played it before" could be seen as an understatement.

@SetupDisk Urban Champion isn't that bad. It's actually a pretty clever game and fun at least for 20 minutes every now and then. People just love to jump on the hate waggon as they often do when somebody on the internet claims for something to be "the worst game everrrrrr!111!".

When will you guys finally learn?

"Projects like these never used to release on Nintendo systems"

Games don't release themselves. Games ARE released by companies.
It's really not that difficult and this is coming from someone whose first language isn't English.

For the love of God: It's bad enough when the comments are often riddled with the same easily-avoided mistakes over and over, but seeing even the reviewers sometimes unable to learn the simplest aspects of their very own language is just sad.

@arronishere I agree

At least the Wii U and 3DS both get a good game. So there have been way worse weeks than this.

"Insane Difficulty Level"

Oh come on, Contra is nowhere near "insanely difficult". I'd even say it's among the easier NES games.

@ekreig Haha, very true.

@Evenmoresteven It will not release. It will be released. The people that release something are the developers and publishers. Grammar isn't that difficult, kids.
