I'm still going to buy Castlevania. I had it when I was a kid, and although the game wasn't perfect, I still enjoyed it. Plus with the suspend feature, it will be easy to save your game.
I would rather have the Mega Man games for the GB that aren't available yet, and stop releasing games that are already available for the Wii and other collections. If this is what the 3DS VC is going to turn into, where they just release Wii VC games, it's going to be one big failure.
My big complaint is that the two 3DS VC games are already available on the Wii. I want to see GB and GBC classics, not games that were already released on the Wii. Not that Zelda isn't a great game because it's a classic, but there are so many classic GB games I want to see.
I think that Skyward Sword was my least favorite 3D Zelda I have played. The story is fantastic, but I hated the over-done motion controls. Like someone else said, the puzzle keys in the dungeons are just tedious and stupid. Fi is really annoying, way worse than Navi. If they had done the controls like Twilight Princess, this game would have been prefect. It's not a bad game, but I hope they don't use the over-done motion controls for the next Zelda game (although they probably will).
People always complain. People complained in the late 90's and early in the Gamecube's life span that there weren't enough Mario games coming out. Now Nintendo is releasing great Mario games more often and people still complain. I'll take a great Mario game once a year over the kiddy crap they release nowadays.
This is the stupidest thing I have ever heard. PETA has to be the dumbest organization of earth. Just remember what PETA really stands for, People Eating Tasty Animals!
I never owned a SNES. I had an NES from the time it came out till I got my N64 in 2000. However, I think the quality of games for the SNES are fantastic and I've been able to play all of the classics on the Wii. I'd say either Super Mario World or Mega Man X are my favorite games for the SNES.
Nintendo has no one to blame but themselves. They never tell you ahead of time what is coming out with either WiiWare or the VC. What's the big secret? Plus, most of the games blow. There are some great games like the Rebirth games, Mega Man 9/10, Sonic 4, and Dr. Mario, but the rest are so forgotten.
I'm 30 and I still play my DS all the time at work. This Trenton guy is nothing but an idiot. Talks a lot of smack but it's funny how he always says the Wii and DS are for kids when both of those systems have crushed the PS3 and PSP in sales.
@22. StarDust Nintendo is already planning to reelase Mario Party 2 in Japan and Europe, so it will likely come to the US as well. Mario Party 1 will never come out because of all of the controller issues.
Honestly, I enjoy the Metroid games, but I hated this one. I just found it to be a total bore and I hated the 1st person battles. I honestly thought it just wasn't that good.
@34. Stuffgamer1 Yeah if SS comes before OOT, then Ganon shouldn't be in it. Maybe they will explain about that great war that was mentioned in OOT when Link was talking to the Deku Tree Sprout after the Forest Temple.
I've lost interest in the VC a long time ago. I used to get excited for Monday's but now I could care less. Shoot 2 weeks ago, I didn't check until late evening. Still, I'm only hoping for any of the 3 N64 Mario Party games for the VC and that's about it. The TMNT game likely won't ever come out. The same goes for Duck Tales as well. I hope someday for Castlevania Bloodlines, but who knows. I was hopeful for the VC Arcade when it came out, but that has been a big letdown as well. Then again it's no big deal if no new games come out because I still got Super Mario Galaxy 2 to finish and I got Mario Tennis a few weeks ago so I'm pretty happy.
The VC isn't dead, because there have been games announced by Sunsoft and Capcom I believe as well on nintendolife. Even if the VC was done, Nintendo would release all of their big name games before shutting down the service, so fret not folks.
I totally forgot it was Monday, LOL! I'm still happy with Mario Tennis from last week and Super Mario Galaxy 2. It does seem like the DSiWare releases are effecting the VC/WiiWare releases which kinda sucks, but what else can you do. I hope for any of the Mario Party games this year and that's really all I'm looking for on the VC since I guess the TMNT games won't ever come out.

Re: Check Out Dinosaur Planet, Before it Was Invaded by Star Fox
I thought it was a pretty good game. I've beaten it a couple of times, but haven't played it in years.

Re: Feature: The Future of GameCube on Wii U
Doesn't really matter to me because I still own my Gamecube and all the games I ever wanted for it.
Re: New Super Mario Bros. 2 Art Brings Back Old Favourites
Anything with the Koopalings is fine with me!

Fantastic article and I agree 100%!!!
Re: Oster Lays Out WiiWare Criticisms
I've always said since day one that the WiiWare service is too flawed.

It will never happen.

Re: Nintendo Download: 19th April 2012 (North America)
It's about time something good came out. Can't wait to play Kid Icarus with newer graphics.
Re: Mathematics Proves That Mario Games Are Difficult
The first SMB is very difficult, followed by SMW. I always thought SMB2 and SMB3 were pretty easy.
Re: SEGA Drops Four Sonic Games from Japanese VC
This is stupid, why take down Sonic games? I already own all of the VC games I plan on buying, but this pretty much proves that the VC is dead!
Re: Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles NES Pulled from Virtual Console
If you already own it, it won't be removed from your Wii, correct?
Re: SEGA Confirms No WiiWare Outing for Sonic 4: Episode II
This is really stupid not to release it on WiiWare, especially since I got Episode 1. Still, I own a PS3, so at least I'll get to play it.
Re: Samus Shoots 3DS VC in North America This Week
Nice, I never played this when I was a kid.

Re: Kid Icarus, Kirby Getting 3D Classics Makeovers
Good, finally some decnt 3D classics games.

Re: First Photo of New Look Wii Console
This is a really stupid move but it doesn't effect me at all since I got both a Wii and a Gamecube right next to each other.
Re: Nintendo Download: 28th July 2011 (North America)
"They don't do 3DS VC games when they have a 3DSWare game to promote."
Why not promote both of them.
Re: Nintendo Download: 28th July 2011 (North America)
No 3DS VC again. Hmmm...and Nintendo wonders why their online service doesn't perform as well as they would like.
Re: If Fans Speak Up, Majora's Mask 3DS Might Happen
I speak up, release it!!!!

Re: Nintendo Download: 21st July 2011 (North America)
What a crappy week.
Re: Nintendo Faces Lawsuit Over 3DS Screen Patent Infringement
Just some stupid company trying to get money from Nintendo. Hope Nintendo crushes them!!!
Re: Nintendo Download: 30th June 2011 (North America)
Nice, I never got to play Kirby's Dream Land back in the day.
Re: Sony: Wii U is No Threat, Says "Welcome to 2006, Nintendo"
Sony still lets this joker talk. How could he have so much confidence when the Wii clobbered the PS3 (and I own both systems so no fanboy here).
Re: Talking Point: Should Nintendo Have Made the 3DS Download-only?
Nintendo made the right decision. Most of the games for the iPhone are crap anyway, why is that even being used as an example.

Re: The Legend of Zelda is 25 Years Old Today
Happy Birthday Link, thanks for all the memories over the years!!!
Re: Hudson Entertainment Closes its Doors, Cancels its Projects
@71. SolarJetman
I hope so, I loved Mario Party 3.
Re: Hudson Entertainment Closes its Doors, Cancels its Projects
Glad Nintendo got Mario Party 2 out before Hudson folded, but I guess that means that Mario Party 3 has no chance now.
Re: Reggie Defends High Download Price Point
Reggie is right. SOme of those $1 to $2 games are crap.
Re: Will We See a Zelda 25th Anniversary Collection this Year?
I already got the Collector's Edition.
Re: Put Your Mario Party Hats On This Monday, North America
Fantastic news, can't wait to play this with my sister.

Re: Sonic Colours Barely Breaks into UK Top 40
I'm waiting on this game. Been burned too many times with bad Sonic games recently, except for Sonic 4.
Re: Nintendo Download: 15th November 2010 (North America)
All I care about is Mario Party 2.
Re: Reggie Wonders Where Metroid: Other M Sales Went Wrong

Re: Nintendo Download: 2nd August 2010 (North America)
More crap.
Re: Yes, There Really Is a Zelda Master Timeline Document
@34. Stuffgamer1

Re: Nintendo Download: 19th July 2010 (North America)
I've downloaded 18 VC games and 5 WiiWare games.

Awesome, I can't wait to play Mario Tennis in a few minutes.
Re: Nintendo Download: 21st June 2010 (North America)
Maybe next week for Mario Tennis.
