Re: Japanese Virtual Console list - November 2009

King_Elemento

Metal Gear's release is clearly foreshadowing for a certain WiiWare game belonging to a series beginning with "R" and ending with "eBirth".

Also, SaGa? Lucky folks. >_<

@5. Croz and @6. Drake:
Metal Gear 2 already is also already translated on MGS3: Subsistence, isn't it? I thought that was just a modified ROM, so couldn't they just upload that?

Re: DSi LL Coming To Europe First Quarter 2010

Great idea to tell us this RIGHT BEFORE CHRISTMAS, Nintendo. Great way to increase sales.

If it's going to be the same price, I may as well not buy the DSi for Christmas, get my parents give me the money they would've helped me with, and but this, probably for Easter. As much as I hate to support these silly release schemes. This means when I preorder Spirit Tracks, I'll have to wait even longer to play it 'cause my DS Lite broke.

Only thing I want to know: How do the games look on it? Will they be stretched, have massive borders, or what? I'd imagine the former, but how nicely will they be stretched?

Re: 6 in 1 Dictionary Gets a Price Drop

King_Elemento

I can see them updating it every now an then, but other than that, the dictionary will remain as small as it is. You won't be able to get the full Oxford English Dictionary translated into Japanese, ever.
Still, this the price it should've been launched at initially.

Re: Nintendo Download 04-05 August 2009 (JAPAN)

King_Elemento

Holy c- 9 releases? On just WiiWare? 4 on VC?
And yet we get 3 on WiiWare, with NOTHING on VC.
This is ridiculous. I don't care if Nintendo is Japanese, whatever happened to racial equality?

EDIT: That's 17 releases overall. 9 WiiWare, 4 VC and 4 DSiWare. That's over the top, when we get 4 downloadable releases per week, they get more than 4 times as many!

Re: What Nintendo games do you want to see on the Virtual Console?

King_Elemento

  • Mother (Earthbound Zero, FC, Import)
  • Mother 2 (EarthBound, SNES, Import)
  • Star Fox (SNES)
  • Star Fox 2 (SNES, Unreleased)
  • BS Zeruda no Densetsu (Satellaview, Import)
  • BS Zeruda no Densetsu: Kodai no Sekiban (Satellaview, Import)
  • Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island (SNES)
  • Super Mario Kart (SNES)
  • Kirby's Fun Pak (Kirby Super Star, SNES)

Otherwise, I want games in PAL 60, with widescreen support and minimalised borders, as well as old handheld games on the DSi, which would trigger me to get one. But I'm happy with the games.

Re: Nintendo of Europe Announces Upcoming Hanabi Games

King_Elemento

"No Final Fantasy?", is what people should be asking. It was announced by Squeenix, and it's out in Japan, so it should be here this Hanabi Festival.
EarthBound may be ESRB rated, but that doesn't apply to PAL regions, and it isn't out in Japan yet. It may have been announced by Nintendo at some stage, but that was most likely to help hype the VC. There are also rumours against it coming out ever.
Yeah.

For now though, I'd say Zoda's Revenge and MUSHA next week. Zoda's Revenge and Kirby's Dreamland 3 are the only things that really interest me from this list, though the two already released do look pretty nice.

Re: Shia LaBeouf Disses the Wii

King_Elemento

As per usual, Nintendo will probably pay him to eat his words by the end of the week.
Or he'll read all the negativity, and apologise of his own accord.
Or both.

Anyway, this man needs to play No More Heroes and MadWorld. Probably The Conduit too. Okami and Metroid Prime Trilogy would also fit relatively well there.

Re: Review: Mario Clock (DSiWare)

King_Elemento

At a price point of 200 points, I'd say having a couple of playable SMB levels isn't unreasonable. New or not, I doubt anyone would mind, but 200 points for a clock that is very similar to something available for free with the system isn't really worth it.
