@dkxcalibur I really hope the first problem will be the lack of players, and not Wii U's servers shutting down. It's only been 4 years, at least another 2 would be up to my expectations at the least..
I really enjoyed this title. It is just not an adreline packed action game, so you shouldn't expect that. Great environments, sound, use of the gamepad and very enjoyable gameplay. You need a fairly big screen, audio up high and dimmed lights to really let it soak you (and partner) up.
Why is everone so leniant towards this developer? Didn't they promise it would come out very soon on Wii U? Very big dissapointment imo, even apart from all the lies they have spread of it being in 'development'. Shame on them.
Another perfect time to show off my two Neo Geo 2 sticks for Wii! They did cost me a fortune, about $175 total for both in new condition. But it doesn't even come close to the cost of Neo Geo console and cartridges themselves. I feel like I can come pretty close this way.
I shall try and hook up my Neo Geo 2 stick with Wii connector to the NES Mini very shortly. Too bad the connectors are too large to have 2 connected at the same time.
I got fed up with Nintendo's refusal to publish a fair amount of NES/SNES classics on Wii U VC, so I just bought the original consoles with Everdrives to play on an old 25" CRT. Comes to about half the price I already paid for my current VC games (I got over 30 VC games on my Wii U, which arguable is more comfortable with the gamepad on the couch though).
I will however cherish my small collection of SNES games on N3DS, because that is pure portable genius.
Nice, that GUI looks pretty clean. Also, the pixel perfect excites me, looks good! I wonder is how the emulation itself is, must be very close to the real thing if the big N releases it.
After that the only thing preventing me to buy one is its non-expandibility. Till then I'll do fine with my AV Famicom toploader + everdrive n8.
I recently purchased this in favor of the more expensive 3DS edition, but regretted it after hearing the first sounds. Really noticable low quality audio, and I play a lot of other DS games that are at a better rate. So on goes my search for the 3DS version
@manu0 Yea, I must say the sharpness of the original res is perfect, it just looks so pretty on my XL! Can't wait for DKC or MK, just a shame there is no cross buy discount. I take a bit of comfort in that they are 6 euro each when making use of the EU discount, I sure hope they will keep that on and not quit it like with the Wii VC.
It seems like NoA has been spoiled with too many sales, humble bundles, etc. that this would count as an insult. Look at NoE, were there hardly were any sales over the winter or xmas.
All the time NoA gets amazing discounts on the eShop, while NoE did not even get proper Xmas deals. Not even talking about the amazing humble bundle from a while back, worth more than 100$ while NoE pays full price.
You guys must've not noticed the control-switch option in the weapons-select menu. I had a great time by the way, perhaps I'll pick it up in digital form with the discount for ease of use.
@Grumblevolcano I stand corrected, I saw a gameplay video where the only time another Yoshi came to the screen was when an amiibo was held to the gamepad. Thanks.
Still can't get over the fact you need one of these to actually play multiplayer in this game. So +20 euro in case you want to enjoy the game with a friend.

Re: Video: Things Go Bump In The Night During This Series Recap Of Ghosts 'n Goblins
@SirQuincealot It was not mentioned as part of the series, so yea it must be titled as a spin off?
Re: Video: Things Go Bump In The Night During This Series Recap Of Ghosts 'n Goblins
Nice report! Too bad Demon's Crest didn't get an honourable mention though, amazing spin-off imo.
