I like that there's groups that are doing things like this; Preserving media history. It's been happening with films and music for quite some time, it's about time we started archiving great bits of gaming history for future generations to enjoy!

Nintendo has shown multiple times that they don't mind remaking old (Pokemon) games with improved graphics. With that in mind, how come the Powers that Be don't see fit to make remakes of other popular games, of the old school variety. (I'm looking at you, Super Metroid and The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past.)

I know that Pokemon has a rabid fan-following, so it's a no brainer to remake them. But, come on Nintendo, if you're going to recycle old games, go for more classics! Punch Out!! is proving a huge success, so... ya know... throw us a bone here. ^_

@ Cheesy:
Darn skippy! I'm glad someone else is on my side. ^_ I'd rather save up and spend a moderate amount of points on something unique, rather than save up a MONUMENTAL amount of points on a variation of something I already have.

Enough with the DS "special editions". They're cool to look at, but more than likely the people that would appreciate them the most are the people who've already got a DS!

With some internet trickery and an R4 card, you can make "free" local and international calls using your DS and it's Wi-Fi, mic, and speaker set-up. (Similar to Skype.) Totally unofficial, most likely illegal, but definitely possible.

Nintendo wouldn't have to make a brand new "system", just offer a game card with the appropriate program on it to make it happen.

(I don't want to post any direct links to these videos, but if you search YouTube for "DS Phone" you can see some examples of these hacks.)

Holy cow, that Zelda statue looks freaking amazing! Forget this DS Lite, bring THAT beauty over here!

After a bit of working, I was able to enhance the original image so you can see the hidden message easier.

For the life of me, I was only able to barely make out parts of "BIT" and "BOY" in the original, so I thought I'd enhance it in case anyone else was having problems seeing the whole thing. Enjoy! ^_

It's always nice to see a new RPG that's not a part of an already exsisting franchise. And by the looks of this game, it seems to be packed with fan service from the gaming days of yore.

I don't know about anyone else, but I think it'd be wicked cool to play Mega Man 9 with the old school NES controller. That way, it'd feel REALLY authentic! ^_

My two cents;
First, I disagree about the quote "In the majority of cases the only purpose of analogue control is to provide some kind of unnecessary incremental movement animation for a character in a 3D action game.The only places it really benefits the player is in flight sims and driving games"
The analogue control stick makes navigating a 3-D space SO much easier, reguardless of the environment. Have you tried playing Mario 64 DS? HORRIBLE with the D-pad. The control stick isn't just there to "provide some kind of unnecessary incremental movement animation for a character in a 3D action game", it's to offer a GREATER range of movement in a 3-D environment, giving you not only up, down, left, and right, but a full 360 degree range of movement.

My second opinion is that, in some Wii games, motion control does inteed seem natural. You're right, in Wii Tennis it makes sense to wave the remote. And since it's something that you'll only be playing for short spurts anyway, it doesn't really matter how conventional it is. But, when I had to flick the remote every time I wanted Link to swing his sword or, even worse, make complex gestures to pull off combo attacks in Twilight Princess, that's a different story. Some games, you're in it for the "long-haul", and to have a traditional controller option would be welcomed. Developers should use their noggin.

All things aside, it's one freaking awesome ceiling. But it looks as though he used sprites with some sort of dithering as his source material. Tsk-tsk.

Ohhhh, that looks amazing! Maybe Nintendo could make a special edition DS in the same style? Puh-leeze!

Another side-scroller with hand-drawn animation! This little artist is one happy gamer! ^_

I had such a crush on Haley. Amiright fellas?

I very recently got into the Castlevania series, and it's all thanks to the Virtual Console and Super Castlevania. Now I'm hooked. Thank goodness there's a plethora of titles for me to sink my fangs into. (Couldn't resist.)

I'd love me some new Kid Icarus! Well, at least the dream of Punch Out has come true!

Ohhhh, I really did think it was an April Fool's Day joke when I typed in my favorite web site's address and was greeted with a splash of new colors! It's going to take me a bit to get used to the new design, but it's already starting to grow on me. Good job guys! ^_

The demo definitely left me wanting more, which I guess is a good thing! ^_ I think I might have to pick this one up.

I only have one DS and a Wii. Too bad there isn't a way to send my Pokemon to my Wii so that I can transfer them from Diamond to Platinum. Or is there? Anyone have any hints?

BOO! Under-boob is my favorite kind of partial-boob. Next would be side-boob. But it looks like we're getting neither!

I cannot tell you how glad I am that 2-D side scrollers seem to be making a come back! And with hand-drawn animation ta-boot! This game looks amazing. I will buy this without question.

I agree; If you haven't bought this gem of a game yet, now's the time! It's such a great mix of gameplay / art style. Very much recommended.

This is one of the prettiest games on the Wii. We need to see this style implemented to an actual, honest-to-goodness Mario game. Or even a Metroid game!

The first thing I thought when I saw this game was;
"Chlorophyll? More like BORE-rophyll!"
But after reading your review, I just might have to give this a shot.

I still have no idea what this game is about. No, edit that; I've got a general idea, but the phantom image it's producing in my mind's eye isn't a good one.

YES!

Huzzah! The U.S. finally gets this gem of a game! I'm definitely going to download it. And it's great to hear that the title character is indeed Little Mac.

Gonna have to think about this one.

This game deserves an 11 out of 10, honestly! I just finished it, and each and every level was amazing! They just kept getting better and better! Everyone, please, do yourself a favor and buy this game! Support 2D Boy, show them your love! We want a sequel!
