remember when the n64 was difficult to code on but people made it work being creative with textures and technical work-arounds? people are being lazy these days
eventually it will be like that episode of futurama where they are trying to name something new and only have 2 words to choose from that won't infringe on copyright
i already have all of these, and if you don't have maboshi's arcade, I really recommend it. it takes simple gameplay mechanics and creates three addicting games that will last you a while, plus you can link your wii and ds and play on the go!
@CrabGats if i do the transfer, all the wiiware and wii games that I use gamecube controllers on will be rendered useless (bomberman blast, smash brothers brawl, certain VC games), lost winds won't work anymore, and my Wii will be wiped clean of whatever could not transfer over (pictures and whatnot). no thank you
ugh, idiots. they should be happy they even put those in the game, and proud their cats got super popular in the first place. you can't reign in something that has gone viral when it was originally a free thing
eww. well, next week we get the next Mario versus Donkey Kong title (although it's evolved into a more Mario Mini's series but whatever), which will be fun
for those looking to easily upgrade, this article's step by step process is the best method I've found and what I have gone by with my two upgrades http://lofi-gaming.org.uk/blog/2012/01/19/how-to-upgrade-your-nintendo-3ds-sd-card/ , the usual Nintendo method leaves junk files on your sd card and can cause pictures and videos to not be recognized by the system for a few boot ups until it gets used to your new sd card. this method is flawless and works like a charm
okay, nintendo and google, when you offer a zoom in function, the resolution of the zoomed in view needs to be the base image size. you don't, say, start with 1024 x 768 on the zoom out and then stretch the image when you zoom in, you set the zoom in resolution to 1024 x 768 and then start the player zoomed out, that way when players zoom in it's like "oh look, an actual zoom in and not just a picture stretch"
agh, I hate when they change dialogue for "localization purposes", it ruins the essence of the character speaking it. if the point of the character is to say out of line things then that's part of their character and should not be changed
also apparently its lost winds 1 and not 2 that doesn't transfer over. anyway i'm still REALLY avoiding the transfer because I want gamecube control. originally I wanted my wii stuff because i still had to get friend medals on metroid prime trilogy, but nintendo shut off wiiConnect24 so i'll never unlock anything there without hacking now also with the gamecube thing, the bomberman wiiware game has an 8 player mode (4 wiimotes and 4 gamecube controllers) which will blatently not work anymore... it's frustrating. can't I just link my wii and wii U accounts and have it say "oh hey you have this on your wii? you get the discounted price. I may have to pay more because I'm avoiding transfering
btw, I have already played my wii u on car rides, its awesome. the thing about the wii U is not that its like a giant ds and why would you get an oversized ds. it's the fact that you can hold TONS of processing power in a nearly weightless controller without the need for an external video display. it's the first step toward cloud computer as a gaming method and it's pretty cool
.......... that's not a glitch people. if the game did not let you stand on cars it would be terrible. Crackdown lets you ride on cars and I'm sure GTA does too, and its really fun. This is not a glitch in any meaning of the word, but a cool trick or tip. Come on people.
you know, there's a cool thing called a car plug to AC outlet that lets you plug in ANYTHING to a car. why people by these specific cables is beyond me
here's the thing, the wii U is not a flop as all those silly people say, it's just the fact that there's no games out for it yet. they had the same problem with the 3ds and everyone thought that would flop, but it's going strong because good games FINALLY CAME OUT. just wait till smash 4, yoshi's yarn, etc.
I honestly thought there was no way this could possibly be a thing. If the system can't suspend DSiware and oldDS games, how is it going to have the power to suspend AND interact with a whole new program? I'm still skeptical, I'm seeing it to be a thing where you can't have games suspended or post screenshots, but we'll see. Nintendo has surprised us before of their capabilities. by the way nintendo, PLEASE ADD AN SD CARD CHANNEL LIKE YOU DID WITH THE WII ONTO THE 3DS! so many of my dsiware games are stuck on my sd card in un-playable limbo
hopefully they clean up that god awful mess they caused in 9. if they bring back that car... I don't even know. I want to explore the board map seperately from others players, like, I don't know, EVERY OTHER BOARD GAME
sigh i hate when people dock points off a game just because it doesn't add anything new as a sequel. judge games on their own ground people, not what came before them
the Tales series is the one series I will get a console just for one of it's games. I mean come on, action jrpg where you can run around the random encounters if you want? best thing ever! i got a xbox360 ONLY so I could play Vesperia, I'll be getting a PS3 JUST to play Xilia... but I still don't get why Namco Bandai SUCKS ASS at cross-platforming their games
@Metal_Sonic i use it to write down the hours i need to log at work and random things i'm reminded about. i never use it to actually take notes for games though
did they think more people would get digital copies? do they not realize that the majority of people do not want downloadable games because they have a play once and then sell mentality? i'm not one of those people but still...
the controls are easy to use as they are. X for up, B for down, and if you REALLY want those in-between angle, just tilt your 3ds slightly. it's not that hard and actually works really well. besides, how would I hold the A or Y buttons AND have my thumb on a second circle pad? it definitely would not work
there's so much they did right in this game that it outweighs what they did wrong (the streamlining of money and items, as well as being able to use deposited items without having to withdraw them for swap shops and the like; outweighs the taking on only one job at a time, inability to fast-display text and have to sit through ALL text, and missing all my favorite pokemon except the eeveelutions)
the current video in the eShop for this game makes no sense. it's one minigame that makes no sense, how are you supposed to figure out who Iwata is controlling? and why would they show off what I'm praying is the game's worst minigame?
@iPruch people are complaining about the price? bunch of losers. I was expecting this to be $40 (forgot it was digital only), and before having played it I would have payed that much, but the game is so short I'm glad it was only $15. makes it still worth it

Re: Nintendo Download: 26th April - Virtual Console (North America)

anyway i'm still REALLY avoiding the transfer because I want gamecube control. originally I wanted my wii stuff because i still had to get friend medals on metroid prime trilogy, but nintendo shut off wiiConnect24 so i'll never unlock anything there without hacking now
also with the gamecube thing, the bomberman wiiware game has an 8 player mode (4 wiimotes and 4 gamecube controllers) which will blatently not work anymore... it's frustrating. can't I just link my wii and wii U accounts and have it say "oh hey you have this on your wii? you get the discounted price.
