I guess Nintendo played so much Ridge Racer that's why they eventually developed an N64 version with some extra tracks and Nintendo themed vehicles ๐๐๐
This game is a great experience. I'm glad I down loaded last week. The main story starts fairly easy and the difficulty ramps up nicely. Another great game by Renega...Atooi
I'm not saying these games are complete shovelware but they aren't the most robust of games. Sure I have them on 3ds and liked them as they filled my Waverace and 1080 urges but they are getting retail versions? Games like FastRMX and Sonic Mania which are more complete packages can't? I'm starting to see an alarming trend on switch emerge. Games like Has Been Heroes and Troll and I which are at best small indie, perhaps even borderline shovelware titles come to retail on Switch. I don't think this is healthy for the system.
My type of game. I miss good top down shooters. One of my favorites was Star Soldier: Vanishing Earth on N64. On the DSware Shop, Metal Torrent was my go to shooter. Nice to know I have another seemingly good option for 3DS.
Yes, finally! I was hoping to hear something on this soon. I love the Etrian series. I'm personally glad to have these remakes- just for the story. It makes playing the game that more enjoyable.
Heck yes for Super Metroid 3D. However as a previous commentor stated, A remake and expanded version of Metroid 2 Return of Samus has to be done. I'd want that above all else. However now that I think about it, since Metroid never got an anniversary anything, how about about an updated 3D collection consisting of Metroid Zero Mission, Metroid2(expanded/remake), Metroid3/Super Metroid( expanded), and Metroid4:Fusion(expanded). Call it Metroid 3D:Anthology. Heck perhaps through in Metroid Prime Hunters too boot. Now thats a collection I'd dib out 50 bucks on a 3DS game for.
Well that made me feel happy. If it were me and I lost my3DS I'd be devastated! So many download games and all my friends on the friend list and most importantly the all time consuming street pass info! Good story, I enjoyed it tons.
Console were always my bread and butter, but when I got my first job doing construction in which we constantly traveled out of state and stayed in motels for sometimes weeks at a time I became a portable man. Game Boy Advance was my first foray. Then I deployed overseas in the mid 00's and the DS became my choice of gaming. Every since them portables pretty much replaced home consoles to me. I play them far more. I take my 3DS with me everywhere and I love the games on it. I still like console games but I don't nearly play them as much as I should.
Such a tough one as I like all the mario karts. 64 was probably the most I played local multi with so its one of my personal favs. Mk7 and 8 are truly the best in the series especially the latter. However I choose mkds as the best because it was an exceptional for its time handheld experience and the first with online multi. Plus the fact that it had awesome levels and visually had the n64 vibe to it that made it one of personal favs.
Ugghhhโฆ I'm still waiting to see the game in motion. It looks like its going to awesome so far. Still hope Nintendo makes a new F-zero either for the U or 3DS in some shape form or fashion. I still regularly go back and play all my favorite classic Futuristic speed racers, like F-Zero,X, GX, Maximum Velocity, Extreme-G, XG2,XGIII,XGRA, Star Wars Episode I Racer. I can't get enough of these games.
Wow, the developers 13AM are fresh graduates from game design at Fullsail. From what I understand they actually made this as their final project in school and the teacher was so impressed they were allow to take school material and use it in the real world. Nintendo of all companies were the only ones to take interest in the game and its unique 9player support and now 13AM is making it and Nintendo is publishing it. Kudos to 13AM
Goldeneye is a fantastic game on so many levels. My friend and I played and conquered single player and we always had friends blasting away in multiplayer. So many great and fond memories.
One of my favorite racing franchises of all time. There is not an F-Zero game I haven't played multiple times and loved every minute of. FZX is probably my personal best of the series. The detail for the machines were very well done, the sense of speed and gut wrenching curves and loops were intense to traverse. That music thoughโฆ It rocked so hard! The 64DD's Re-Arranged soundtrack was even better. This is definitely a franchise I'd kill to see another game from.
Another great N64 title. My best friend owned this game and I remember thinking the graphics were really great. I don't remember if it was this one or the sequel that had weather effects, maybe both but they were an added touch of realism for the day. We had some fun dabbling in the multiplayer on occasions too.
Ah Waverace64. One of my favorite franchises of all time. I love that game. I bought a N64 on September 26 1997 for my birthday and Waverace was my first game I bought. I had seen some pictures of it in GameFan and was blown away at the graphics. Since I love water sports this game was a no-brainer for me. This game was way ahead of the norm of the time, graphics capabilities and water physics were astounding. I think I'd cry if a new one was announcedโฆ 17 years ago on this very day I was an awe-struck wave racer and I still think it's in its own league!
This series is one of my favorite from one of my favorites developers of all time- Acclaim. Extreme-G, XG2, Extreme-G III and XGRA are games that I highly praise. I'm a huge fan of futuristic high speed racers and I play this series regularly every year or so. What can I say its fast, fun and exhilarating. I love F-Zero and its machines that hover around, but Extreme-G's terrestrial bound super bikes absolutely kick asphalt!
This game was fantastic. I loved every minute of it. The graphics and music and overall game design were superb, Konami at its finest. Sad that there are no new Goemon games in the current generation.
Many a weekends over at my buddies house playing this with his brother. A real entertaining multiplayer and a fun coop single player. BattleTanx is awesome. I wish a new one would be made.
I have a lot of fond memories playing this game back in late 96 early 97. While the graphics were kind of a let down, the whole vibe of the arcade game was there. My friends and I played relentless trying to unlock all the vehicles and beat the game. The music for me is really made this game, that and the just the whole vibe of Crusin the USA. I love this game and its probably my favorite in the series. Its sequel Crusin World was even better. Crusin Exotica was alright and the GBA Crusin Velocity was absolutely trash. Overall USA and World are great fun arcade racers and tons of fun to play with friends. 9/10
Hybrid Heaven is still one of my favorites gaming experiences to this day. I loved the story, the characters and awesome cinema's through out the game. The atmosphere is also very well done. The combat is fun but a tad clunky and grinding some enemies to level up your skills can be somewhat tedious in a game like this. I give HH a 10/10. For me this game WAS METAL GEAR SOLID for n64, albeit a more sci-fi and zany story. I've played this game multiple times. Last week after beating METAL GEAR SOLID THE TWIN SNAKES again, I thought about this game and now seeing it in this review I'm tempted to play back though it again. Ah, such great memories.
Well this is a pleasant surprise! I'm currently on a Megaman gaming spree, playing just about every Mega game there is and now I see this trailer for Gunvoltโฆ. I can't wait, day 1 purchase for me.
Wow I'm feeling like this is the Sonic game I've been wanting since Adventure 1 and 2. It looks very fun and I think the character models look great as a Sonic overhaul. Finally a game I can look forward to on WiiU that I didnt know about.
@Trickbaby14 Namco had Tekken tag2 and Tank Tank Tank for the WiiU, other than that Namco's support has been on 3DS with Tales of the Abyss, Tekken 3D, Ridge Racer and the joint effort Project X Zone.
I love Monster Hunter! One of my fav games of all time. I bought both the WiiU Copy and the 3DS copy; and have also bought/encouraged many of my friends to get a copy too. It would be awesome to have a MH get together where I live. I'm not begging Capcom to bring MH4 west.... I'm DEMANDING Capcom to bring it.
