@WeeManStudios Good PR makes a world of difference. You've got a sale, and I agree, 5.99 is a good price.

@Link506 My thought exactly.

Price will be key with me and making a purchase. I have had my fill of that kind of racing game already, and just watching the trailer didn't leave me with hype, it brought back the sour taste in my mouth from the repetition in those games.

@Damo I agree, awesome controller, and I have had mine almost as long!

Are you excited for the Retro Bit USB controllers? https://www.nintendolife.com/news/2017/01/retro-bit_bringing_capcom-themed_controllers_and_jaleco_multi-carts_to_market_this_year

I just noticed you also wrote that article, so it isn't your first time seeing them. I'm seriously considering the Genesis/Mega Drive 6 Button Controller.

@Damo Is that Mega Drive 6 Button Controller yours? Did you paint the start button Red? I have the North American equivalent, but it's a grey start button.

@ThomasBW84 Isn't it Choice Publishing, not Choice Provisions, publishing Shift DX?

@AlexOlney When did Lord Voldemort become a Mario Character?

@Fordy999 Who is the publisher, Choice Provisions or Choice Publishing?

You mention Choice Provisions in the article, but link to Choice Publishing.

@ThomasBW84 As @Frosty09 pointed out, why is this article tagged under Retro?

@artofmana As a Genesis fan, I'm considering getting the Genesis controller for PC gaming because why not?

@iGen No problem. I was simply making a remark.

@iGen I know this article was republished 4-5 days ago, but wow. Thanks for replying to a nearly 2 year old comment.

@AlexSora89 Mewtwo can be unlocked after 5 hours of 4 Player Melee. With the controllers in and not playing, by keeping the items on and falling, with the timer set to 99 stocks, and items on, the 5 hour mark will be hit, and Mewtwo will appear.

The items guarantee that the person won't be kicked because of the activity on the screen.

@AlexSora89 Pretty sure that the items being on would count for on screen movement.

@SLIGEACH_EIRE I was going to say the same thing. Wii U is confirmed to be Chopped Liver to Nintendo (of America at least)

@DarthNocturnal They did it with the Wii Shortages, and with the Zelda II, Super Mario Bros 2 USA released. Only one I'm willing to bet was partially real was the amiibo shortages because of a port strike and many a Nintendo product being stuck on a dock. Not saying the product stuck there would have fit demand needs anyway, but that one seems a bit out of Nintendo's control.

@AlexSora89 The difference with Mewtwo is that you can leave the CPUs running, and then you have action on the screen.

So, just like the now shut down Sonic Runners?

@ThomasBW84 So you're saying there is a chance for localization?

@rjejr Starbucks used to be a NintendoZone when they used AT&T WiFi. Within the last two years, they switched to Google WiFi, and the Nintendo Zone functionality was dropped.

@Steve_Bowling As many have said, the last paragraph contains a typo. I believe Switch is what you were looking for, not Wwitch.

@eLarkos The games in question here, Altered Beast and Streets of Rage, were both released on Wii VC and 3D Classics on 3DS. That makes it relevant to report on.
As for when Sega news pops up, Sega is a third party that publishes software on Nintendo Hardware, and you'll see that NintendoLife reports on those third parties because of their connection to Nintendo, but it needs to usually relate to Nintendo.

For instance, since Sonic Mania has been announced, I believe NintendoLife did 1 article on it, and if they didn't, then it was included in the recap of Sonic's 25th Anniversary Stream. They have not reported on further Sonic Mania news because as of this moment, the game is not confirmed to be in development for any Nintendo Console, or Handheld.

I feel so left out.

@Damo How much would it cost for NL's very own @AlexOlney to go and make a video touring the exhibit? As a reader from the other side of the pond, with no way to visit this Museum, I and many others would greatly appreciate it.

Its a bit too late for my friends and I. There was a time when we would have used this daily, but after the death of Swapnote, we found other services and moved on.

Hope Nikki won't be homeless again any time soon.

Wonder if the recent rise in popularity of Pokemon has anything to do with this.

@Spoony_Tech Marth, Ike, Robin and Lucina all do something in that game. Roy was released after the game had been out for a very long time and was never patched in.

@DarthNocturnal Sorry! Misread your comment.

@DarthNocturnal The Smash Zelda amiibo sans Ganondorf appear to be compatible, based off the amiibo they showed off.

@andrew20 I don't. Maybe similar ideas were borrowed from the Shield infrastructure, but I believe its new tech.

@zool 3DS Cartridges are out of the question, and there is no offical confirmation that the Switch has a touch screen, making Wii U and 3DS digital backwards compatibility up in the air.

@ThomasBW84 I am disappointed not to see a wall of sale links, but glad you didn't have to format said wall.

@wiggleronacid It can take any SD card if it has been Fat32 formatted. 1-32GB don't need to be Fat32 formatted, but 64, 128, 256, etc need to be.

@ThomasBW84 How long as NintendoLife been getting commissions for products like these?

Well, now that I now using your links helps NintendoLife, I'll make sure to do that from now on.

It's sad that this feature will be how Miiverse screenshots are killed in the ACNL section. Anytime they add a camera feature, all it takes is one person to have an inappropriate background and the entire screenshot feature is killed.

@Blastcorp64 They did. Its a 20 dollar peripheral that looks similar to a Skylanders scan in base, without any decoration and I believe only works with the original 3DS, XL and 2DS.

@Joeynator3000 "I guess I should be thankful" -Falco Lombardi

Yes, NA.

@Joeynator3000 They did restock Mega Man! Check my previous message!

@ThomasBW84 They also have the Super Fighting Robot: Mega Man, and Dark Pit on Best Buy. I know for a fact Mega Man is very hard to come by, the original blue one, not the Gold One, and the Amiibo reddit made a post about Dark Pit, so he was apparently out of stock for a while.

@Corbs Nice to see you again. Loved your writing on NL and NF Magazine.

@RyanSilberman It can be done. On all of SEGA's Game Gear games it is an option on the 3DS Virtual Console, so its built into their Game Gear Emulator. Capcom also put a version of Super Street Fighter 2 on the Genesis/Mega Drive Virtual Console on Wii and it had online multiplayer.

Bottom line, SEGA still does what Nintendon't.

@ThomasBW84 In your opinion, do you at all think it is wrong that Tails glides instead of flying for a brief period of time like he used to?

@ThomasBW84 You said "...Knuckles burrows underground and more besides - there's plenty for players to consider as they jump into this one." Do you at all mean any of his classic abilities such as Climbing, and or Gliding, in what you said before besides?

I'll gladly take a free Sonic theme.

@Anti-Matter Because the console just launched in Japan. The 2DS hadn't been available before.

I always thought the worst thing for Nintendo gamers would be if they went the route of SEGA and no longer made their own consoles.

@FriedSquid Yes. All of my yes.

@Bolt_Strike Are you a permenant resident yet of your local hospital?

If so, does you room have a good view?

@Jamotello Nintendo stopped making their 3D Classics because they thought they could just add the 3D effect and sell the games. Turns out, adding the 3D effect actually effected the placement of enemies, characters, backgrounds, doors, etc and nothing worked the way it was supposed to. They ended up having to redo the games from scratch, just what M2 is doing, and once Nintendo finished releasing their 6 3D Classics, they stopped making more. There reasoning was something along the lines of: In the time it takes us to redo a classic and make it a 3D Classic, we could have made a brand new game instead.

@BensonUii Console sales tend to drop when a new version is announced. People will wait until it is out, which in this case is the PS4 Slim according to the article and the "New" PS4 Pro is also on its way soon.

@Dreamcaster-X They are still working on Kickstarter goals they promised. They need to finish those first, which they have been doing before they move on.

Edit: Ninja'd by 47 seconds.

@AlexSora89 You need to Fat32 format any SD card over 32GB to work on a 3DS.

@NImH Long time no see. As for why NintendoLife reviews these game, they review every game released on the eShop, and previously WiiWare and DSiWare.

@ThomasBW84 It appears an autocorrect got the best of you. In paragraph 7, you say "Tales can glide too". I'm certain you mean Tails.

@Uncensored The tape was part of a design choice, and I can recall someone from the development studio saying that its supposed to represent them being ready to go at any moment. They are wearing Athletic Tape, and they want to get the job done, and don't exactly care what they look like. Its more for functionality than style. I could be slightly off, but I did read the article here on Nintendo Life back before the initial games released.

@WilliamCalley This isn't like the Wii U game. Its a sequel to the 3DS Sonic Boom, which was decent at best. It had some problems, but wasn't broken. Changes are, this game will get a 6 or 7 average in reviews.
