Muramasa will be an instabuy if it's not just a Wii ROM dump. Would be great if we got a bump in resolution but I'm pretty sure this is just like the other Wii games we got on Wii U up 'til now.
Those are four TYPES of monsters, not monster names. For example, Agnaktor and Lagiacrus are Leviathans. Fanged Beasts include Azuros and Lagombi types. Flying Wyverns include Rathalos and (my fav) Diablos. Brute Wyverns are monsters like Barroth and Deviljho.
@Moshugan Yes, you are correct. But supervising is not composing, and that's my main grievance. Kondo only wrote one new song for Skyward Sword. Also, I actually ok with Majora's Mask 3D sound being like the N64. It sounded great. Ocarina of Time should've been remastered though (like Starfox 64 3D)
I'm very disappointed Kondo is not having a more active role in the new Zelda game for Wii U. I personally want Kondo to start creating whole scores again. I think it's time for him to be lead composer on a big project again like Mario and Zelda (and no, Mario Maker doesn't really count for me). With that said, no matter who writes music for Zelda, no matter who lead composer is - Kenta Nagata (Wind Waker), Toru Minegishi (Twilight Princess), Hajime Wakai (Skyward Sword), etc. - they always have to use Kondo's music as it is Zelda lore. So even if Kondo doesn't compose one new song for any game, his music is always being used from previous scores. That's the only consolation Kondo fans really have these days.
@6ch6ris6 I really encourage you to check it out. It really has a different feel from OoT and it is a really evocative game. It's not as epic as OoT but it tops it other, more subtle ways.
-New Xenoblade Chronicles X trailer -Info on SMTxFE -NINTENDO 64 GAMES OFFICIALLY COMING TO WII U VC (Nintendo, pls) -Majora's Mask HD/Majora's Mask 3D
I'm really loving the music in this first level. I recognize it from the opening theme of Castlevania 64, which later arranged this song. Good stuff. It sounds fantastic coming out of an SNES.
I'm thinking of getting this game but I probably won't. It just seems like a step back control-wise to not be able to whip in all eight directions like Super Castlevania IV - my fave game in the series. I know that will annoy me.

I going for a third time. Hoping the new Majora's Mask arrangements are great.
Re: Monster Hunter X Japanese Release Date Revealed, Monster Hunter Stories Playable At TGS 2015
So we'll probably get this in the West sometime in Spring 2016. I still have so much of MH4U to get to yet.
Re: Ubisoft Launches Its eShop Summer Sale in North America
Guess it's time to grab Rayman Legends. Though I feel they could've done better than $19.99.

Re: Fresh Monster Hunter X (Cross) Details Emerge From Japan
@Sanicranfast This game is definitely coming over here. Monster Hunter Stories is the one we need to worry about.

Re: Harmonix Explains Why Rock Band 4 Isn’t Coming to Wii U, But Doesn't Rule it Out
I don't think this is a big loss. The music genre died from oversaturation and I don't see it making a comeback with Rockband 4 at all.
Re: Meet Playtonic, A Studio Of Ex-Rare Staff That Wants To Work With Nintendo
Sounds good to me! I'll support them on this endeavor so long as they bring the goods; and I'm confident they will - strong pedigree here.
Re: Ubisoft's Unreleased and Finished Wii U Game Has Apparently Been Identified
Ubisoft can keep that. They made it sound as if they were sitting on Zombi U 2 or something, lol.
Re: Reminder: The Nintendo Network Premium Promotion Ends on 31st December
Nintendo making a big mistake letting this program end.
@Sir_JBizzle You win at Nintendo Digital Deluxe Program for sure!

Re: Retro City Rampage Gets Beefed Up on WiiWare With 'DX' Update
Why not just bring it over to Wii U?
Re: Review: Demon's Crest (Wii U eShop / Super Nintendo)
Just purchased the trilogy on Virtual Console. Starting Gargoyle's Quest as we speak and will move on to Gargoyle's Quest II and then Demon's Crest.
Re: Demon's Crest
@Dopey You guys got your wish today!
Re: Video: Try Not To Overheat As You Watch Excitebike Arena Footage From Mario Kart 8's DLC
I really like the Excitebike music arrangement... Good stuff.
Re: Developers Reflect on F-Zero As It Passes Ten Years in the Wilderness
I still hold out hope for an F-Zero game on Wii U or 3DS. I also hold out hope for a new installment of Wave Race.
@Discipledoctor I didn't get into F-Zero until it went 3D myself. In my opinion, that's when the series is at its best.
Re: Review: Castlevania: Dracula X (Wii U eShop / Super Nintendo)
I'm really loving the music in this first level. I recognize it from the opening theme of Castlevania 64, which later arranged this song. Good stuff. It sounds fantastic coming out of an SNES.
I'm thinking of getting this game but I probably won't. It just seems like a step back control-wise to not be able to whip in all eight directions like Super Castlevania IV - my fave game in the series. I know that will annoy me.
Re: Square Enix's Latest 3DS RPG Final Fantasy Explorers Won't Support Stereoscopic 3D
No 3D is very disappointing (why isn't it going to be in 3D?) but it's not a dealbreaker at all.
Re: You Can Now Download The Entire Banjo-Kazooie Soundtrack For Your Listening Pleasure
Wow, this is the real deal. Every single variation of each level theme is present, unlike the old school Pony Canyon releases back in the day.
Re: Bayonetta 2 has North American Release Date Confirmed
Day 1.
Re: SteamWorld Dig Wii U Release Date and Pricing Surface
Any word on crossbuy promotion they were speaking of a couple weeks ago?
Re: The Virtual Boy is 19 Years Old, Probably Hasn't Received a Celebratory Cake
Could atleast bring the Wario game to 3DS.
Re: The Sega Genesis is Now 25 Years Old
25 years old and NOT coming to Wii U VC. Sega are idiots.
Re: The Console Wars Live On As Night Trap Remake Team Holds a Grudge Against Nintendo
The devs sound incredibly butthurt over a beef from 20 years ago.
Re: Nintendo of America Confirms Wii U Virtual Console Titles For Next Two Weeks
Ready to upgrade Double Dragon II. Classic beat 'em up. Still need to get the Final Fight games on VC too.
Re: SNES Classic Cybernator Is Suiting Up For An Assault On The Wii U Virtual Console Tomorrow
Oh, and Contra 4 would be great too. I missed that one.
Re: SNES Classic Cybernator Is Suiting Up For An Assault On The Wii U Virtual Console Tomorrow
Nice, now all we need is Sparkster, Turtles Tournament Fighters, and Castlevania: Dracula X on SNES and, for the love of damn, Contra on NES.
Re: Capcom Is Remastering The GameCube Resident Evil, But It's Not Coming To Wii U
Really messed up this isn't coming to Wii U. C'mon, Capcom.
