Re: Nintendo Download: 17th November 2011 (North America)

Kirby is worth every penny and then some. I got it for the wii, but this version just looks better. Not because of the 3d which helps in a subtle way, but that its cripser on the small screen. Vibrant and beautiful. The wii version looked great on my analog tv, but not the greatest on my widescreen 1080p hidef ( money pit hyped crap only good for certain things). It's a bit of a long download around 400 blocks. As for the 3d effect you may want to bump it up a bit for this one to get the effect. I barely noticed it on my normal setting. No biggy.

Looks pretty cool. I might have to get this one regardless of reviews ( unless its just crazy lame). One thing about Nintendo they don't make many racers. I lover racers.

@9 Yep and it would give them time to refine the game a little if needed.

Re: Nintendo Holding Online 3DS Press Conference on Friday

Metal_Slugger

A Youtube Channel for the Wii would rock. Something efficient and going through a sound system and large tv would be the ticket to keep the Wii cruising. I'm actually tempted to buy an Apple TV just for the Youtube channel. I wouldn't use anything else my Netflix on my Wii is perfect for my needs.

Re: Talking Point: What If Nintendo Became a Third Party?

Metal_Slugger

It would destroy Nintendo as a "quality" company and they know it that's why they are holding out as long as possible. I hope it never comes to that. I don't care to play Nintendo games on my iPad I hate playing games on that thing anyways. I love the traditional way of playing nintendo games and people will pay a premium for that. They know it. I'm all for lowering the price of Nintendo games but not bringing them down to 5 dollar shovel ware level.

Re: 3DS Drops to $169.99 from 12th August

@R-L-A-George- My main concern is the price of nintendo games. Thats the reason I prefer Nintendo over other brands for the most part. If Nintendo raised their prices that high they would be in serious trouble. If they want to succeed in these times they need to take heed, and listen to their consumers. Games are a luxury not a necessity. Even a $5 dollar decrease on Nintendo games would be much more appealing. Mr. Shovelware?

@R-L-A-George - Seriously rolls eyes? Anyways yeah games are the money pit I'm not about to get sucked into. Unless they are top notch games which I don't see to many of. I would rather pay more for the system than the games. I think $10 dollars more is a huge price hike from DS which are already overpriced as well. These games should not be anywhere near console game prices. I would love to try this system I am sure it's a blast but I can't justify the spendings. The way the economy is headed Nintendo is going to have a hard time with sales. I want to see price reduction in Nintendo exclusive games this would really make the difference.

Re: Netflix Channel Now Available From Wii Shop

Metal_Slugger

@ZIMM yes they will keep charging you until you stop the subscription it's not a scam. You just have to be on the ball I doubt you will stop once you start though. It's tough to live without it once your used to it. Although I like the streaming it was really nice when they got new releases on the release date. Now there is a 28 day wait for most new releases. They claim these studio deals give them better streaming contracts and no long waits for new releases when they come out. Some lies some not. The streaming is there selling point now.

Re: Netflix Channel Now Available From Wii Shop

Metal_Slugger

@nice_shirt good tip thanks. You ever noticed that darn glitch in the last one you click to go right and it would end up all the way to the end of the line of titles? That would drive me nuts. That grey ( wrong grey it could be good in grey) background looks horrible black or white would look much better. Oh well and the streaming quality feels like it went down quite a bit. I upped my bandwidth recently and noticed the improvement in streaming now it looks like it was before the upgrade. Still great to be able to have a game in the slot now though. So I will roll with that for sure.

Re: Netflix Channel Now Available From Wii Shop

Metal_Slugger

I didn't need a system update not sure why. Its gonna take a bit to get used to. I like that its a channel that thing was practically glued in my wii. Now I can play more games. I don't like the gray background looked better white and everything is a slightly slower now. I still love that they offered it up as a channel and the benefits outweigh the complaints. Don't care for the smaller arrows to move left or right either. Overall great start hope they improve it in time. Knowing Netflix it will be ages but you never know.

Re: Nintendo comments on GTA: Chinatown Wars sales

Metal_Slugger

I bought it! I never played or owned a GTA game in my life. I haven't received it yet so I don't know if I like yet, but if this didn't come out on the ds I most likely never would of purchased it. So I think they are doing much better than they realize.

Re: Review: Nintendo DSi Browser (DSiWare)

Metal_Slugger

Remember Wii opera browser was free at first then they charged for it later on. I heard the resolution on the new DSi is the same as the DS lite. So if this is true there would be more pixelation, because of the larger screen. Is this true?

Re: Review: Gaplus (Arcade)

Metal_Slugger

I had to buy this one. Galaga is one of my favorite games of all time. Weird how you play this then go back to Galaga and it almost feels slow motion. These bugs cook in this one.

Re: SD Card Game Launching + Arcade Games Available on VC Now!

Metal_Slugger

Great news Adam! Hey I would try and re-download those games see what happens. I thought about doing the same thing you did I had 460 or so blocks left when I updated. I didn't delete anything and it worked eventually. After the update I got bittrip and a few classics and I am down to less than 100 blocks and it's working fine. Anyways good to hear you got the update. The only problem I see now is how much money I want to spend. I think Nintendo stock is about to go up big time.

I need an SD card I want the fastest anyone know if speed 6 is the way to go?
