In my opinion is the name of the group „BYTEKRIEGER“ much better than the game itself.
I am also not very impressed by the new GoodbyeGalaxyGames-game Tappingo – seems to be really familiar to the fantastic Drawing-Mode from Pic Pic – not that innovative it is promoted. I like logic puzzle games and the other games from Hugo, so I will give Tappingo a chance.
Yet Europe got only 1 of 3 self-published eShop Games by Renegade Kid. Probably they will publish again only their cash cow (Mutant Mudds) to milk the European gamers… no thanks.
@WesGrogan Speculator? I’dont have eBay…Is it real love to play games illegal (emulator)?
If I look at the actual Feature “The Biggest Wii U Games of 2013 - Summer Edition” a lot of people will picking up a lot of new games. If you want to be a “real” retro gamer in my opinion, safe this money and buy for example a SNES with a handful of epic [e.g. NBA Jam] or fantastic trashy [e.g. Turbo Toons] games.
@KnightRider666 @MeWario I am a friend of retail games. VC is not a museum – it’s more like a soulless temple of commerce. It’s not to keep them away, it’s a decision: should I buy a new Luigi 30th 3DSXL or a Virtualboy.
@TheRealThanos "to cast pearls before swine" In my opinion as collector it’s the same with other rare Nintendo games like 64DD or Japanese „Nintendo Power”-Games.
Nintendo should better bring more own innovative WiiU or 3DS eShop Games for a fair price than VC. Ergo not Games like the overpriced HarmoKnight or the less innovative Splash or Crash (I played already years ago on WiiWare: Minna de Tobikome! Penguin Diving FuPaRuPa)
@GazPlant Nintendo released already Super Famicom Wars on the Japanese WiiWare.
@ngamer155 I don’t think so; they published often "good" games like Candle Route, Ball Fighter, Wizard Defenders, Robo Rescue, Cat Frenzy, Bird Mania 3D.
@ph0x I got the update (EU Version). There are a lot of changes (the enemies looks different, oil, coins combo, …) and the QR-Codes works now. BUT! there’s no more a two player mode!
Especially in the puzzle genre I don’t count on review scores. Much more important for me are the control scheme, the impression from gameplay videos, the publisher and the developer. Often it seems that a lot of reviewers aren’t really familiar with this genre.
Why a Picture of Pac-Man Championship Edition DX? - never released on any Nintendo System (the precursor Pac-Man Championship Edition is part off Pac-Man & Galaga Dimensions)
"No, unfortunately Bomb Monkey is not in the works for a European release. Sales of the game in the US have been less than OK" But is the European market really the same as the US one?
The problem of the Wii era wasn’t the little number of not localised Japanese retail games in the west. Instead of this the numerousness absence of western niche games in Japan. A question of the perspective!
I've played it for two hours on the hard level. Like in the awesome Might and Magic: Clash of Heroes, the key is tactic. The game is absolutely playable and is worth the 200 points.

@RenegadeJools Nice to have you on NLife. But please give me the chance to have this experience – bring your games to Europe too!

Gameboy Tetris - Level 9 Heart, Height 3... I have to train my left hand to increase the push frequency to get I-Terimino to the side.

Re: Hardware Classics: Nintendo Virtual Boy
Space Squash, 3D Tetris, Mario Tennis … some really good games, but I hope they will not bring it to Virtual Console.

Re: Dress To Play: Magic Bubbles Coming To North America On 16th May
It is far away from Magical Drop. It is a mix of elements. The nearest common known Puzzler is Puyo Puyo/ Puyo Pop - but upside down.
Re: Nintendo "Didn't Know What To Do" With The Wii Vitality Sensor
Best for fast-paced puzzles – see Bio Tetris with the not really good working Bio Sensor.

Re: ATV Wild Ride 3D On Sale For One Week Only
@C-Olimar If it sells not that good in the US, there wouldn’t be a European release – see Bomb Monkey!

G-Style as always! 7/10 and no European release.

Re: Wii Mini Shifts 35,700 Units in Canada
At GC (for example pearl white) it is possible to change the inner life to still have a component out. No component – No collectable for me!
Re: Feature: The Wonderful World of Multiplayer Add-Ons
@ThomasBW84 As “Nintendojuenger” I have it on SNES - with Multitap and Score Master, epic!
My absolute wacky favourite is the Bio Sensor for Tetris 64 (Bio Tetris). Every Player needs one, so I never played it multiplayer.
Re: Feature: The Wonderful World of Multiplayer Add-Ons
@ThomasBW84 NBA JAM!! It is Pac-Man Vs.
There are some really wacky Nintendo multiplayer add-ons:
