I'll get this when I get a Wii, but the lack of checkpoints is a bit of a turn-off. I like difficult games but surely it must be really frustrating to have to go back to the beginning of a level after dying right at the end.
What a fugly building. Anyway, I'm not going to enter this for two reasons: 1) I'm camera-shy. 2) This is my Nintendo story: I had a GBA once, and then I bought a DS. That's it.
The Wii has plenty of 'compelling' games, but only stuff like Wii Party gets advertised. If games like Goldeneye or Metroid had TV adverts, people would start to get the impression that the Wii is more than just a toy.
I don't mind if it's difficult (I've completed PiCOPiCT other than getting the star on the last two dark stages) but I'd rather DL Shantae or Zenonia first, 'cos all these puzzle games start getting a bit old.
Nice review. This looks quite interesting. It reminds me of a game show on the BBC called 'Hole in the Wall' where people have to fit through holes in oncoming walls to avoid being pushed into a water pool.
So when's the review out? I NEED A REVIEW. I'm guessing it'll be Corbie who reviews this though. Then hopefully it'll get a 10. I wouldn't be that surprised actually, if it's as awesome as people are saying it is.
Will the European competitions be for WiiWare/VC? 'Cos if they are I won't be able to enter (don't have a Wii...). BTW, NL team, this is really cool of you.
Oooh, special content! I wonder what it is! A free NES for every user? Well, a man can dream...
I'm gonna feel left out though, because I only ever played the NES once, and that was at a friend's house 5 years ago (played Super Mario Kart and Bomberman). That's my only NES experience.

Re: Features: Things We Miss About the 8-Bit Era
LOL, even I'm feeling the nostalgia, and I never even had a NES.
Also, that translation problem in SMS reminds me of the bad grammar in Scribblenauts. When you get a merit it says 'Merit Get'.
Re: Zoonami: Nintendo Not Generating Enough Interest in Downloads
I think he's right. Even a lot of the people who have a Wii don't know about WiiWare.
Re: First Plants vs. Zombies DS Trailer Sprouts and Shambles
I might get this if it isn't too expensive.
Re: UK Dragon Questers Unite at These HMV Events
Don't have Dragon Quest IX, but if I did I would try this out. Oh well...
Re: First Cave Story DSiWare Trailer Rocks
I know I say this all the time, but why can't I view videos on NL, but I can on other websites?
Re: Fils-Aime: Nintendo's Biggest Current Threat is Apple
Apple? Nah, they might rake in the casuals, but at the end of the day, a gamer's gonna get a handheld that was actually made for gaming.
Re: Review: BIT.TRIP FATE (WiiWare)
I'll get this when I get a Wii, but the lack of checkpoints is a bit of a turn-off. I like difficult games but surely it must be really frustrating to have to go back to the beginning of a level after dying right at the end.
Re: Review: Flashlight (DSiWare)
I actually know a guy who DLed this, and the scary thing is, it wasn't for a joke. He genuinely believed that it would be a worthwhile purchase.
Re: Nintendo Download: 25th October 2010 (North America)
Drowning....in.....sarcasm......
Re: Professor Layton Unwinds in UK Chart Top Five
Oh yeah, it came out, I'll get it soon (i.e. when I have money).
Re: Tell Nintendo Europe a Story and Win a Trip to Kyoto
What a fugly building. Anyway, I'm not going to enter this for two reasons:

Re: Super Mario Design Documents Reveal Guns, Rockets and Fighting
I prefer Mario simple, but it would have been. And it would stop all the stupid 12 year olds from thinking that Mario is for 'babies'.
Re: Review: Spot the Difference (DSiWare)
This game can't have very much replay value, cos once you've found everything there's no fun in finding it again.
Good review BTW.
Re: THQ Expects Wii & DS Markets to Have a Strong Christmas Performance
The Wii has plenty of 'compelling' games, but only stuff like Wii Party gets advertised. If games like Goldeneye or Metroid had TV adverts, people would start to get the impression that the Wii is more than just a toy.
Re: Nintendo's DS Line Out-Sells Competition in Mid-October
Wow. I wish I lived in Japan. They don't seem so mad about the XBOX 360 over there.
Re: Review: Snapdots (DSiWare)

Re: Features: Reader NES Stories
Some good stories there. They make me want an NES all the more!
Re: Review: Academy: Tic-Tac-Toe (DSiWare)
Surely you can play all of these modes for FREE? Seriously, what is the point of this?
Re: Review: ThruSpace (WiiWare)
Nice review. This looks quite interesting. It reminds me of a game show on the BBC called 'Hole in the Wall' where people have to fit through holes in oncoming walls to avoid being pushed into a water pool.
Re: NBA Jam Exclusive to HMV in UK
????? Well, I'm sure it'll be good for HMV.
Re: Soccer Up! Revives Arcade Football for WiiWare
Looks good, but how many footie games do you need?
Re: Red Wii and DSi XL Coming Stateside on November 7th
So you all complain about not getting the Red Wii, then when you do get it, you don't want it?
Re: Red Wii and DSi XL Coming Stateside on November 7th
Well, what a surprise. After all the moaning of the Americans, it turns out you get the deal when we do AND it's even better!
EDIT: I read it wrong, the deal is exactly the same.
Re: Features: Staff NES Stories
Good stories. One day, I'd like to own an NES. Here's hoping for an NES competition for Europe.
Re: Super Mario Bros. Nearly Had a Shoot 'em Up Stage
FPS is probably the only popular genre that Mario hasn't explored. Maybe it could work, as long as Mario didn't fire an actual gun.
Re: If You Cross Mario with Twitter, You Get Super Twario
@Twario LOL, I think you need to change your username!
Re: Review: Music On: Playing Piano (DSiWare)
This game doesn't even deserve a yawn.
Re: Mario Anniversary Screensaver and Pins Arrive at Club Nintendo
I already have an awesome Mario 25th Anniversary Screensaver (and it was free).
@Nintendo-is-my-love Welcome to NintendoLife!
Re: Nintendo Download: 22nd October 2010 (Europe)
Meh-ish, but at least Glow Artisan...yay!
Re: Drool at this Professor Layton vs Phoenix Wright Trailer
Too good to be true...mind you, I said that about the 3DS.
Re: Review: Kidz Bop Dance Party! The Video Game (Wii)
BEST. TAGLINE. EVER.
Re: Broken Rules Feels Let Down by Nintendo's Online Strategy
Don't worry - the 3DS will change all of this.
Re: Super Scribblenauts
So when's the review out? I NEED A REVIEW. I'm guessing it'll be Corbie who reviews this though. Then hopefully it'll get a 10. I wouldn't be that surprised actually, if it's as awesome as people are saying it is.
Re: Level-5's Time Travelers to Materialise on the 3DS
@Terra Tell me about it. Is it me, or is the 3DS already better than any other gaming device ever?
Re: Phoenix Wright and Professor Layton Team Up on 3DS
I LOVE YOU 3DS!
Re: Review: GO Series: Pinball Attack! (DSiWare)
I knew this would suck from the moment I saw the video for it.
Re: Walmart Leaks Red DSi XL Package for America
I told you guys. Since when has America not got something that Europe has?
Re: Flipnote Studio Celebrates Mario's 25th Anniversary
Cool, I'm going to try this. The gaming world is so awesome! Thanks for the heads-up, James.
Re: Super Mario Bros. 25th Anniversary
Will the European competitions be for WiiWare/VC? 'Cos if they are I won't be able to enter (don't have a Wii...). BTW, NL team, this is really cool of you.
Re: Space Ace ESRB Prepped to Enter the DSiWare Dimension
No thanks, but it seems like an interesting kind of game.
Re: We Celebrate 25 Years of NES
Oooh, special content! I wonder what it is! A free NES for every user? Well, a man can dream...

Re: Hudson Has Six 3DS Titles In Development
Already knew this, but cool. More 3DS awesomeness! And Deca Sports...
Re: Review: Kirby's Epic Yarn (Wii)
@Skotski I think I came off a bit too serious.
But, really, it's colours.
Re: Netflix Channel Now Available From Wii Shop
Oh, C'MON! Would someone PLEASE think of the Europeans?
I know we're getting the SMB Anniversary stuff but I'm still jealous...
Re: Interviews: Epicenter Studios - Rock of the Dead
I lost concentration after the first two questions.
Re: Snapdots
Cool. I'd love to get this.
Re: Armada
Looks a lot like Flight Control from the screenshots. Interesting.
Re: Nintendo Download: 18th October 2010 (North America)
Oh man, America gets a good week? I'm so jealous! VC, ThruSpace, Armada and a cross between PiCOPiCT and Picross? You guys get EVERYTHING!
Re: Konami Has a Quartet of Franchises Heading to 3DS
Yep, practically every successful game franchise known to man will be revived on the 3DS.
Re: Wii Party Leads Nintendo Chart Climb
JLS like it? It must be bad.
