!!! Wow, big week this week! It was only a few days ago that I had a discussion about whether we would ever see DKC on Wii U virtual console after they were pulled form Wii a few years ago. Can't wait to download it! The Donkey Kong Land games are also brilliant, but I won't be downloading them as I played them to death as a kid
Hmm I still get sad when I think about the state of the virtual console So much money that I want to spend but can't! Such a strange thing for a company to deny it's customers what they want! Anyway, pretty excited to give a Hyrule Warriors a go
@Mega719 I've played it and it's decent to mediocre. It's certainly not worth waiting so long for. This is just me, but I'd take nearly any other recent or upcoming Ubisoft title to this one. Even if it's the best version of the game (and that's a big if) it's still a pretty forgettable game.
@Pokefanmum82 Yea... They will... But they're not collectors, they're obsessive completionists. I collect comic books but I don't buy every comic book. I recognise when something is a turd and this is already obsolete before it comes out. This is like buying a GBA just before the SP comes out, or an SP before a Micro comes out - The Micros worth a lot more than a regular GBA right now isn't it? Because it's way better! If somebody wants to buy this then power to them - It just seems like a silly buy to me.
@ColdingLight First of all, I bet my life that you guys get the Smash 3DS. It's like a time held tradition that you guys get it too, it's just announced later. Secondly, we don't have the superior Eshop version of Cave Story that everyone is holding out for. Thirdly, they were only two examples! I can give you a million more I think you just need to recognise that it's hard being a Nintendo fan everywhere sometimes.
@ColdingLight are you kidding me? I would kill for Cave Story on my 3DS and there's a little ol game called Shovel knight that I play in my dreams every night Not to mention your games are so much cheaper!... I guess we're both pretty hard done by.
@minotaurgamer I love the style and obviously a lot of people do or the games wouldn't sell. Just stick to what you like and leave everyone else alone.
@minotaurgamer Haha, you're calling everyone who voted stupid because you don't agree with the list? You're bold Personally I think Wind Waker is waaaaaaaaaaaay better than Twilight Princess and it appears most people do too!
Great list. Glad to see common sense has prevailed as far as combining the votes of Wind Waker HD and the original - they're the same game after all! I think this list is darn near perfect too The only game I don't rate so highly is Twilight Princess but that's just me.
@Guitardude7 It is pretty rude to call anything overrated. If a number of people 'rate' something then it is 'rated' as such. You are essentially saying that your opinion is better than everyone else's. Oh, and by the way Ocarina of Time is a masterpiece!
Battle Network! I loved that series as a teenager! I might have to take it for a spin down memory lane, though I do fear I've outgrown it. Solid week all 'round
I have this on my GBA micro and I'm not a huge fan. The RPG element is a neat idea but it's just too formulaic and half@r$ed. The game mechanics themselves are really solid though unspectacular. It's certainly not bad but more deserving of about a 6-7.
Oh and I'm sorry but 12 percent of you are crazy! I know it's your opinion and that it's not my right to say you're wrong but you are wrong! Twilight Princess is no way near the best Zelda game! Reevaluate your lives people!
Wow, really good week two weeks in a row I'm happy! What do all you moaners expect? That's a top rate VC release for both Wii U and 3DS! I'm usually the first to moan during the lean weeks but this is not one of those weeks.

Re: Nintendo of Europe Launching Wii U Virtual Console NES Remix Promotion
Ha! Urban Champion! I can't believe Nintendo is still trying to hock that game onto poor, unsuspecting gamers. It's not worth it even at 99% off!
Re: Review: Pop'n Twinbee (Wii U eShop / Super Nintendo)
Definitely a great example of its era. I had never played it and yet was immediately fond of it because of its looks. Highly recommended!
Re: Review: Mario Power Tennis (Wii U eShop / Game Boy Advance)
I have this on my GBA micro and I'm not a huge fan. The RPG element is a neat idea but it's just too formulaic and half@r$ed. The game mechanics themselves are really solid though unspectacular. It's certainly not bad but more deserving of about a 6-7.

Re: Poll: Which Is The Best Legend Of Zelda Game?
I can't How could I possibly decide between Ocarina of Time, A Link Between Worlds, Wind Waker and A Link to the Past?? It's not possible!
Re: New Fighter for Super Smash Bros. to be Revealed on 14th July
Bomberman or Rayman would be sweet as!
