That's right, Nintendo of America, get it out of your system, make room for all the good games that have to come eventually...though you can speed up the process, you know? No reason to make us wait; we won't mind if next week is Super Mario Kart, Yoshi's Island and Star Fox...
Didn't realize there were seperate lists for Wii and DS. Whoops... ^ _ ^;;;
Golden Sun DS (Working title) — 2010
This had better not get pushed back to 2011, or I will be PO'd. I've waited long enough. Now I'd just like some new info, please and thank you Camelot.
Meh, I already knew all of these, and the one I'm really pining for still hasn't been given a solid release date. It's not coming 'til 2011, is it? Maybe I should read the title or something. Then I wouldn't have to get so worked up.
S&P2, SMG2, and M:OM, all in 2010. It's gonna be a sweet year, that's for sure.
You take a nap 'cause you ain't feeling good and then Nintendo formally announces a new bigger-screened DSi. I see how it is, Ninty.
Anyways, I give a big ol' meh to the entire deal. It's obviously not for me, and I really don't see Nintendo making games exclusively for the system, so no reason to get worked up.
Corbs, I'd take my cue from the story of Solomon and tell you, "No, no! Don't cut it in half! Just give it to Oddy, but never do that!" but I'm pretty sure the story wouldn't turn out quite the same way.
Hah, it was a blast to spar with Doc Louis. He's my favorite Punch-Out!! character, so to see him in the ring was a lot of fun. In the Doc's own words, "Choctastic, hahahaha!"
I've known since I first saw Nostalgia that I was going to like it, and this review does nothing to change that. Sounds like a brilliant game, and I can't wait to get my hands on it soon.
Congrats on your first review, dragon. It was a fun read for me, and hey, not too bad of a game, it looks like. Excellent job, and I look forward to any more reviews you take on in the future.
Never enough JRPGs in the world, I say, especially on a system like the Wii, which is on the brink of death as far as this genre is concerned. Definitely looking into this one, and it's probably a safe bet to say I'll be picking it up somewhere along the line.
I'm confident enough in my gender ambiguity to say I like the way the pink Remote looks. It's not a slick red 'mote like I've been hoping for (darnit Ninty argh), but hey, I like it. I can haz pink wiimote in NA plz?
The blue one looks nice too, now that I look at it closely...Hmm, bring us both, NoA. I'd pick up one of each.
Now that I've seen Zero in action, slicing up the competition with his Z-Saber, this game is a must-buy for me when I get the chance. I'm also very pleased that Capcom went with his most-familiar X Series look, as well. This game is looking frikken sweet.
@JamieO: Sorry, I knew I should have been more specific, but I figured most people would just be tired of me saying its name. My most anticipated game of 2010 (and forever) is Golden Sun DS.
Sweet, some news on my second-most anticipated game of next year. The news that it will be longer is awesome, as Sin and Punishment is just a tad bit on the short side for me, though still incredible. Very much looking forward to this one.
Now for some news on my most anticipated game of next year (and quite frankly, of all time) and I'll be set for a while.
He's right guys. Nintendo would never be stupid "gutsy" enough to hold that giant hunk of plastic and silicon above their heads like that. One slip, and you're in a world of hurt.
Congrats, Sony, I never thought anyone would have the stupidity "guts".
If I can get past how influential this game was and still is to this day (nothing in my JRPG-loving world would be the same without this), I agree with the review. It's a lot of fun for me, seeing the genre's roots, laughing at Garland's "I knock you all down," but the speed can grate on my nerves sometimes, and I can only take so much grindin'. Good review, Corbie.
Now we just need Final Fantasies IV and VI. Get 'em on the ready line, Ninty!
Nah, it was a long time ago, so forgive me for being confused as to which JSR game I played. I knew I had played JSR, I guess I didn't think too hard about which one it was.
Anyways, I'd still buy this one if it were to come out, so yeah.
Crud...I loved the first actually second JSR game when I took it for a spin on the Xbox years ago. It was a lot of fun to play and a lot of fun to watch. Shame this Wii project got the door slammed in its face...maybe someday. I'd buy it.
Ah sweetness, Final Fantasy! And I actually have enough points to download this. Finally a good start to a Monday, which I haven't had in a while. I'm wasting my entire afternoon on this one. Oh, and my new avatar came just in time for the party. Never can miss any reason to show off the avi...
I can already tell this'll be an excellent way to send off the week and head into the weekend. I love the SNES so much.
Anyways, thanks Corbie for the excellent review of a SNES RPG which I have yet to play, sadly. I'm going to start praying for a VC release of this game, as it looks right up my alley.
Excellent, this is looking great so far. I've been really looking forward to this game since hearing about it. Only a few more weeks, and then it shall be mine.
Well, that's odd. I didn't write that at all, and I can't delete it. If any of the mods see comment #15, feel free to delete it, as that was not what I tried to post, and I have no idea why that happened.
Anyways, what I was trying to say is that stuff like this makes me wish I had a DSi. Maybe for Christmas.
Oh heck yes. Now these are the kinds of retro reviews I can get into. I love the SNES so much; it'll be cool to see some gems I missed along the way and (hopefully) a couple of games to take me back down memory lane.
And just so that I have one game I can wax nostalgic about, I'd love to see either Mega Man X or Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles IV: Turtles in Time, if at all possible.
I know it's a rumor at the moment, but seeing Zero added to the playable roster of this game would put it over the top for me, as he's one of my favorite Mega Man characters ever. Nothing quite like slicing up the enemy with a long-haired red-armored robot awesomesauce.
Well, if Nintendo is really going to make it difficult for me not to buy a DSi, the least they could have done is given me red. The pink one's pretty sweet, though, so I guess that's okay...
@Tails: That's the problem right there: even if it's just little upgrades like that, being the diehard fan of something like Golden Sun will compel me to go out and buy a DSi whether it's really worth it or not.
Oh beans...Is Nintendo forcing me to buy a DSi before I'm ready? Well, I guess it was bound to happen sometime, but I'm still perfectly happy with my DS Phat atm. Hopefully it won't be anything I'll be wanting to buy on release day, because if it is, I'm not gonna be a very happy customer.
@fudgenuts: Yeah, I guess it's a good thing. Too much competition for it in the month of September anyway. I've just had this at the top of my DS list for the longest time, and to see it get pushed back is disheartening. Oh well, Muramasa's still coming out, so I'll be able to make it.

Re: Review: Doc Louis' Punch-Out!! (WiiWare)

Seconded. Anyways, I had a lot of fun with this game, being able to finally take on Doc. Quite a nice reward, I say.

I dunno, Oddy, I still think it'd be cooler if I won it, but hey, good luck to you, I guess. cough more like bad luck cough
