what about those stories of miyamoto making link left-handed based on himself being left handed...but here he is playing guitar right-handed. i would also like to point out that he is mic'd up but barely, and by comeparsion to the p.a. system these guys are mic'd into, it's as if he is intentionally inaudible. miyamoto is basically there for viewing pleasure. watching his fingers, some of it makes sense, some of it doesn't.
yet it did make me think. when miyamoto was a boy, did he ever have dreams of playing guitar on stage? 🤔
I hunt physical copies of retro games and digital VC games, but this NES remix rubbish...ugh, it's marketed towards people who have low attention spands which ironically NES games take a lot of commitment. Then on the eShop, they toss some of the featured games with a bogus sticker of "AS SEEN IN NEW REMAKE 1/2". It's like absolutely asinine. Nintendo. I have been playing NES since I was 4 when my older sister gave me hers when our dad bought her a sega genesis. Not much later I demanded a genesis for myself. Yeah sonic 1,2,3&K, blew my mind....but along came the super nintendo. Genesis V.S. SNES to the grave.
Pokémon Leaf Green & Pokémon Fire Red. Please, I've owned my 3DS for 1,055 days hoping the GB Blue and Red would come out. Throw a dog a bone. I can't imagine that move being anything less that pure profit for you fellas...also yeah thanks for TAXING US for digital downloads. Also the new games I have purchased, and I stay on track...what's with this no physical, paper manual..."check out our digital manual. Like...dude cheap. Us seasoned collectors have our needs...but oh wait yeah, us veteran collects are not your primary fiscal demographic anymore. LMAO IRONY.
Keep the GBA games coming. In fact, Nintendo, why don't you pretend you didn't promise is DS VC games, and take one solid step at a time. Oh and where are our N64 games? Not the same ones over and over, my wallet has dished out generously, how about some DK64 or Banjo-Kazooie, (Rare this Rare that...Rare even admitted that its ultimately up to Nintendo). Lets keep to our word, Big N. Please. I have given you a ludicrous amount of my and my parents money. Mario RPG for Wii U please. All rants end with Mario RPG for Wii U.
Down with GameStop, I have myself and my friends boycott GameStop since they decided to OPEN "NEW" games and slap a "NEW" sticker on it. I bought I "NEW" edition of Zelda: Phantom Hourglass, with a file already on the card named 'naruto'. Since then....literally Best Buy all the way...
Also sometimes me and my toilet compete by taking beautiful pictures of scenery, waterfalls and baby animals at the zoo. I use my 3DS camera and toilet uses nothing to take pictures with.
Honestly, the way the 3DS has "flourished" since it's release makes me wish I never spent $250. Literally for what? Ocarina of time and star fox 64 again? Then nintendo decides to REWARD impulsive buyers by giving us games they are probably quite sure, based on our loyalty to the N, we already own. SERIOUSLY when you try to shut the system off, it throws up a screen trying to convince you not to.
Maybe I stand alone with my argument, but there are many days I look at my 3DCrap in it's cheesy charging station, shrug, and romantically remenise about the days of pictochat.
@Viral sonic&knuckles would be really easy to emulate, make the orginal game, then later on release sonic 2&knuckles and sonic 3&knuckles for 800 points each. i think that is what is taking them so long, deciding on if they should make available the add on features of 2 and 3 for free like it would have been if you actually bought the sega genesis games. but hell, ill just buy the two addon 2&3 knuckles games, im just getting impatient cuz its been so long. but as far as difficulty emulating? no there really shouldnt be any considering all the compliations its been on
oh and one more thing, when i hear rumors that nintendo hasnt released majora's mask or donkey kong 64 on VC because of its expansion pack, it just discusts me. the nintendo 64 was 2 generations ago, ten years. If nintendo cant emulate a game they made 10 years ago, i am deeply sorry, but i have to defect to ps3 or 360 who seem to have to problem doing whatever the hell they want.
moral of the story, the expansion pack increased the system's RAM by 4MB. i just simply cant not accept the fact that ten years later they just "CANT" do it. no i dont buy that at all
i curse wiiware, honestly. it has done FAR MORE bad than good. sure you could argue that there are some good titles, but seriously, we all know what its done to our flow of VC games. Year one the average games released per monday was 3. Now, its only 1. I remember a year or two ago, back when i was in high school, if a monday VC realease wasnt a good one, it was like, a garentee that the next was going to be great. and back when n64 games came out just about once a month.
and one last thing...where in the world is sonic&knuckles???
im sick of nintendo caring so much about the wiiware. i knew once i heard about wiiware, i knew it was going to be annoying for VC junkies like myself.
my whole view on VC goes like this. when i heard about, i was so happy, i couldnt wait to start a digital collection of a bunch of classics. year one was amazing, dozens of good games, but year two, im afriad was just bad, with a few jems like mario rpg and kirby 64. but seriously, this is the end of year two and they refuse to go out with a bang? whats up with that?
for some strange reason i really thought nintendo was going to rival xbox and release donkey kong 64 on the VC. idk why, i just thought it would have been kind of a jab at microsoft
i honestly thought we MIGHT see an n64 title being released. this update was predictable. it was just a catchup week. how unforgivable of nintendo. i guess ill just be dissapointed again, like pretty much this entire VC year
i cant believe this, i am so mad. i was worring about this, and here it is. my worst fears confirmed. EU was going to get what we had, and US was going to get what they had. meaning, the chances of us getting Phantasy star IV and castlevania 3 are really high. altho they may be really good games, im not really interested in either of them, i got all excited because the one day out of the the ENTIRE year that we were garaneteed a surprise/awesome game, was the monday before christmas, this is horrible. i got so excited about today that i could hardly sleep. i was hoping for something mind blowing, like majora's mask or donkey kong 64. but now, seems like we are just playing catchup with europe. what kind of crap is that? the ONEDAY we are told we are going to get a surprise. oops guess not, your just getting games that they have.
i cant believe this. wow. what kind of surprise is that nintendo.
i hope WE get something good the monday before christmas, like last year with donkey kong country 3. almost this entire year i have been like eh...towards VC but for whatever reason, i was extremely confident that the monday before christmas would be awesome. so i really hope we get a solid game. Majora's Mask? Donkey Kong 64? hopes
for some reason, i thought america had seen enough crappy games, and this week we would see a good game. but thats hopeful thinking of a free man. some of us wake up every monday, just waiting to see what game is coming out today, and time, after time, after time, its disappointing, ive checked the VC list every monday since i bought my wii, may 2007. i just cant take anymore good for nothing bad weeks. im losing hope, i sorta WANT to loose my VC mindset, i dont wana get all excited, because time after time, im just disappointed. its madness.
i think i would go bananas, all this week i have been looking forward to mario rpg. i took all my vc games and put them on an sd card and cleared my wii menu, and only put mario games up. waiting for mario rpg
super paper mario was horrible compared to paper mario 64 and the thousand year door, seriously.
my girlfriends mom (around christmas time) asked me what she should get her, cuz she suggested super paper mario, but i was like eh no way, get paper mario 64 on VC for 10 bucks, and dont blow 50 on super paper mario, ITS AWFUL
dude! i woke up and checked the updates on the site, and i thought i was dreaming! i literally was like "YESSSSSSS!" theres a huge chance of it being released here, they know how much money it will bring in
