I actually like how they were improving art style with each new box art
If you wish, you can even came up with a sorta backstory for these covers - Mega Man starts out as a middle aged homeless dude who found a super suit in a dumpster.
Soon, he learns about great responsibility that comes with great power, all these fights exhaust him so much he starts undergoing through drastic body changes and ultimately shrinks down and turns into a boy.
@Heavyarms55 so let's say you've bought a used GB cartridge off Ebay and you're playing it on a system which was not intended for it by using unauthorized mod hardware + you didn't pay Nintendo a dime. How's that different from a piracy? It's just an emulation with extra steps.
Maybe you have cartridges that you've legally bought from official stores back in the 90's, then it'll work in some way but it's still a "Game Boy only" game, not "Game Boy to PC".
I guess he keeps Waluigi's figure somewhere in the basement then He comes down there once in a while, stays in front of figure for a few minutes, just looking at it. Then says a short "No" and returns upstairs
It's only digital content in my country.
Well, why am I even surprised. Checked and they don't even have 3DS discounts anymore, only themes for menu. You can't spend Gold Points because there are no rewards for it. Top class program.
@Roronoa11 you mean Bomberman Blitz? Even if it's not a 3DS title, it's still a great game if you like classic Bomberman multiplayer with CPUs. A lot of maps and different settings, gets insane on higher difficulties. Worth money, in my opinion.
I suspect it's that sort of people who is unsatisfied with everything, but in this particular case they sorta have a point. That NSO icon fits well into "mildly infuriating things" category
This is a first time I see German MM2 Cover and it's absolutely gets my vote. Don't get me wrong, these are all a classic, and I would give the prize to Japanese or US, if I could. But that incredibly well-drawn Wily's face along with Mega Man probably shouting "oh man oh man oh s***" to himself while he's escaping from the dragon are absolute gold.
11/15
I don't know half of these games, I just guessed it by details on cover and art style (for example, early 3D art on cover was clearly something from N64 era). Still, the quiz got pretty tricky near final.
And thank you for reminding me about Crystalis. NES version is an underrated gem and I should finish it.
@Vicki_S I expect Toads to be placed onto that role. They're short, loud and annoying. All of them, excluding Toadsworth and Toadette, have the same design except color palette. It would be a crime for Illumination to NOT turn them into the Minions when they actually are. Can't say it would be a good thing, of course.
These are actually look neat. As a kid, I never had a chance to get my hands on any Happy Meal toys but this reminds me of choco egg figures I used to collect back then.
Oh man, it's 90's "kids version of adult characters" trend all over again. I can hear Tom & Jerry Kids theme song playing in my head right now. Except this time Mega Man and Sonic also there.
A brand new Twinbee game alone could be a reason for me to buy Switch. Not Zelda or Mario, just give me three sentient spaceships blasting bad guys in the sky and you can have all of my money. sigh
Well, at least it's improved. It looks so much better now. I'm fine with separate eyes, in fact, i'm fine with everything in new trailer, except maybe some really corny jokes
Didn't even think a second about it. As much as I love Bulbasaur and Chespin, Chikorita gets my vote instantly. Because a) best pokemon gen, b) best pokemon tsundere gal
So Sega's Aladdin and The Lion King are considered bad in the West? That's so weird. I always liked these games, the graphics were smooth and colorful, the levels are all creative, the difficulty... I can agree to that, darn ostrich race was a pain. The only BAD Aladdin and TLK games are actually NES/GB ones, those are nearly unplayable.
And I never, ever understand people's love for SNES Aladdin. It's just... eh. Capcom's/Disney take on Prince of Persia.

I used 3DS Youtube app to play music videos while i'm working on something else. Like a mini radio (even though I have a regular radio receiver). But 3DS app stopped working some time ago, it doesn't even launch now. I don't know if it's because they closed the service in Europe (didn't hear any news regarding that), but it's more like the app wasn't that good in the first place.
I had problems with original GB not reading the cartridge properly but a simple "pull out - push in" worked. Shoulder buttons on my original 3DS are somewhat loose after 5+ years of active gaming, and I had to glue analogue stick's rubber cap back to its place a few times. Other than that, I don't think I ever experienced any major problems with Nintendo hardware. But Switch looks like it has a lot of issues, which is currently stops me from buying it.
I don't think it's Sonic. Iizuka confirmed they are making new game for the series, but there were no cryptic clues from Sonic twitter or rumors pointing to that they already have something to show recently.
My guess it's something way less obvious. NOT new Billy Hatcher. NOT Golden Axe, modern Sega wouldn't do that. I also doubt Monkey Ball fits into AAA category.
Maybe it's just a new Yakuza or something that is not a sequel to any franchise.
...I would give tons of money for new Ecco or NightS, of course.
I declared my love for Bomberman series many times before, i'll do it again. Touch! and its sequel are among best installments of this franchise, Bomberman 2 is also very good. I haven't played that much of Story DS, but it seems like a solid JRPG.
Also every game where Shu Takumi was involved is a masterpiece. You should play Ghost Trick, your kids and grandkids should play it, ghosts of your ancestors should play it too.
Critics weren't super excited about first Pokemon movie in 1998 either... and about every other Pokemon movie released every other year as well. Movie specials are usually made for people who already love the franchise and want more of what they love. So if you want to know if this movie good or not, just buy a ticket and see everything for yourself.
Fun fact: Waluigi's hat symbol "Г" is not only an upside-down "L" but also a cyrillic letter which is a counterpart to latin "G". So he should've been called Gooigi instead and be playable in co-op. No luck for him again
Sometimes I think about what we really did by inventing the Internet. It allows us to do any kind of stuff, communicate with people all across the globe and instantly get all the information we need but it also takes something from us as exchange for that comfort. Things like joy from picking a new issue of your favorite magazine from your mailbox or buying it from the local newspaper stand are in past now. I'm not even sure people use libraries now, you can just search stuff on Google or buy digital books on Amazon.
As for me, I still buy physical magazines and will continue to buy them until they will end being published. It's just not the same to read them in digital form.
Oh, Nintendo and your funny references. Imagine if next time you'll be playing new Zelda game, and Link will suddenly turn to the camera, saying: "Well excuuuuse me i won't go there"
Some people call the age of 65, "second youth" or "new 40". Young and beautiful! Hope you'll stay with us for another 65 years, Miyamoto-san. Happy birthday.
Sometimes i think about what could actually happen if MN9 didn't get those 4 millions. It seems they were so blinded by all that money, they forgot about everything else.
I don't expect very much from this game as well, but I feel like this article was written by some aggressive Genesis era fan. You know, these kind of people who took over Sonic fandom and spitting in the face to everyone who dare to say Adventure games were good.
I'm not gonna believe reviews until I play it myself. Some people will hate the game just because of Jontron incident. And those review examples in the article, people are complaining it's a N64-era styled platformer. Isn't it, um, what it aimed to be from the very beginning? A modern Banjo-Kazooie clone for Banjo-Kazooie fans.
I remember similar story happened to DuckTales Remastered, GameSpot said it was an outdated platformer, yet me and my friends enjoyed every minute of it.
