"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.

@Legromancer "In Europe" doesn't necessarily mean "in all of Europe". Indie developers have complained about the high rating costs for Germany and already quite a few games have not been released in Germany without any remark on that matter. They were said to be released in Europe and they in fact were released in Europe. Just not in all of Europe; not in Germany. And a developer would probably never spoil their own announcement by publishing a news like "We're glad to tell you that our game XYZ is soon going to hit Europe! But not for you Germans. Sorry 'bout that.". They'd just keep silent on the matter.

@ThomasBW84 Has that really been confirmed? Glad to hear that then.

"That includes you Australia / New Zealand"
No word on Germany?

@manu0 It's not an "eventual" release. It's not going to happen. Such a release would offer nothing new besides a cheaper way of getting games curretnly already available on VC...so why on earth would Capcom do that and waste money on an additional release on something that makes them earn less? Spend money to earn less? Capcom's not the smartest company, but they're not THAT stupid.

@Kirby_Fan_DL3 What does Nintendo have to do with this game? This isn't part of Nintendo's approach to gaming. It's a game by an entirely different company. Nintendo had zero input on teh design. They just allowed for the game to appear on their console.

@ThomasBW84 "This was the last in this RPG spin-off series to arrive on the Game Boy Advance, though it did then progress onto the DS."

This is wrong. The entire series was on GBA. MMBN 5 and 6 thus were on GBA. MMBN 5 was the only one to appear on the DS and that one appeared on both GBA and DS. No "progressing" to DS at all.

Edit: I see. You already corrected that.
Edit 2: Oh, ChaosValentine was faster than me.

Why this stupid, panned isometric view? Modern, amateur shooter developers apparently love this style, but it makes dodgingso much harder for no good reason. Reminds me of Nanostray, which isn't the biggest compliment I could make to a game.

You've got to be kidding me. Nihilumbra is nothing but a "me too" kind of game. It wants to be artistic, meaningful, philosophical, clever, but ends being just an utterly mediocre platformer with "been there, done that" kinds of mechanics and generic puzzles. the story also beings promisingly, but it simply goes nowhere. It repeats itself over and over and over.
It's not a bad game, but the very definition of a mediocre game worth 5 or at maximum 6 out of 10. Giving it a 9 undermines your entire rating system and devalues your scores.

@DarthNocturnal This isn't about whether any of the players would have cared. It's about a guy at Retro using somebody else's work without that guy's permission.

"this solo effort from a skilled member of the Texas-based studio had utilised a third-party emulator"

How "skilled" can he be if he resorted to using an already available emulator programmed by someone else entirely? Sounds more like a lazy attempt that was rightfully shut down.

What about last week's STEAM theme that was supposed to be free? Why isn't it free? Nintendolife said it was free, so I'd like to see that being adressed in any form.

@ParSnake The Retron 5 is just an emulator inside a machine. The games run off this emulation software. No difference to an emulator running on a PC.
The games don't run directly off the hardware.

@LztheQuack So, as long as something makes money it's gotta be good and you're not allowed to criticise it? Wow, wonderful logic.

It's basically Puzzle Quest with monster leveling instead of character leveling. Wow, big deal.

@mjc0961 Aliens Colonial Marines doesn't prove anything here. That one was Gearbox's fault or rather fraud. Get your facts straight before resorting to name calling.

@Kami2Kami "when it releases"? When it releases what? The kraken? Oh, you meant when it IS releaseD.
