@Link79-thanks for the headsup, im downloading the demo right now. @Andrew Lum-thanks for an update on the situation. always nice when the devs are listening to feedback.
Well I didn't figure it was coming out anywhere near the 3DS's launch window, so summer at the earliest but I wouldn't be surprised if this was Nintendo's big Holiday game for next year.
I think everything that needs to be said about the game's value or perceived lack therof is over and done. I do wish the review or even if the reviewer commented here, talked about the one thign added: wiimote control support.
I for one am not completely satisifed with the controls there and am thinking of trying to get some classic controllers on the cheap. Anyone else who bought this, have an opinion? I'm curious to know everyone's thoughts.
Hey, it says right on the box what it has. If thats not enough for you,then don't get it. It was for me, though. (Its $21 to download all this, so better graphics and junk and a real copy for 30 is fair.) As for comparing it to Sega's Collection, that may have had a lot of games and content but this one actually has GOOD games on it. Hey-ooooo~!
Damn fine update, with Mario party 2 and Frobot, which sounds likeits going to be pretty good. I'll wait for the review and checkout the surprisedemo though.
@WiiLovePeace-Sheesh, i feel silly (and stand corrected.) Why the hell didnt they just call it a 256MB card then? Universal measurements are universal.
A price cut to $99? Are you [insert insult and or ridiculous comparison to a monkey here] That's marking it down 50% off what it is right now. Sure,Ninty might go to 149 in the middle fo the year but they'll also probably stop including 2 games with the system like they are right now. I understand why he said 99, to compete with Move, which is 99, but move is not a console. Its 2 peripherals and a game. And Kinect is 149, so matching that [insert comment about how huge it was and how disappoitning it was to play in that Wal-Mart with the smelly employees] is sufficient for Nintendo. If they even need to, they did quite well this season selling Wii's and DS's.
Wow, its been a while since I've heard about such a big/good title getting ruined by a bad camera. It feels like last gen...or maybe evgen the genration before.
VC gets a solid game. whatisthisidonteven. Not quite solid enough for me, as I'm not big on puzzles, but I appreciate that its there. I wish to pet it, like the cliche evil guy with the cat.
Very nice and interesting article ona a syetm I've never thought much of (because, y'know, it was never available here.)
Just a stylistic question, is it more common in British English countries to write article with a "said Dillard" format versus the "subject verb" more commonly seen in American journalism? It was just a random thing I was thinking about while reading.
I believe there'll only be one or two VC for the rest of the year, and one will be Mario Party 2. People really should get used to about one or two quality WW releases a month nowadays and maybe a VC, if we're lucky.
@jp- no, there's an in-game store that you buy stuff directly through, same as other WW games with DLC. Theres 9 packs out/coming soon from what I remember, going for 200-500 points each with a couple hundred new loops/whatever in each.
People still go to G4 for reviews? Silly. I have to agree that Metroid, outside of the fanbase and the knowledgable, just doesn';t have the market recgnition as Nintendo's other brands. I think that by itself counts for a lot against it.
Also, that detrimental and WIDELY-publicized save file bug didn't help matters.
At the same time though, I think this is the last holiday season the three are going to see really strong hardware sales. Microsoft and Sony might even see a hit in expectations for either their console or their add-ons (Move and Kinect) since consumers might be intimidated from buying both in a similar time frame. I myself already have all the systems and I have a feeling that most gamers by now have most if not all the systems they plan on getting for this console generation. Time will tell, of course.
lol @Gamesake, at least he's honest. In the same regards, I'm also a horrible person. I usually buy used via game store or eBay or I wait until they're 50% or more off. Hey, I haven't won the lottery yet, y'know.

Re: We Always Knew The Mario Brothers Were Made Men
@STardust-pretty sure it was intended to just be a trailer.

@WiiLovePeace-Sheesh, i feel silly (and stand corrected.) Why the hell didnt they just call it a 256MB card then? Universal measurements are universal.
Re: 3DS Game Cards Could Reach a Mighty 8GB
Btw, there ARE a few DS carts that go up to 2GB, like A.S.H. and one other (both Japan-only IIRC.) But for the most part, DS uses the 512MB mentioned.
Anyway, first game to fill the 8GB? Ace Attorney Vs. Layton. Don't like my guess? Overruled~!

Re: Mix Superstar Will Be a European Christmas Present
Ha, Omega, bet you weren't expecting that!
Well played DIgital Leisure, well played!
Re: Nintendo Download: 13th December 2010 (North America)
Pretty good week, actually. I hope we get Mario Party 2 next week though, that'd be some good fun for the family.
Re: Features: Don't Touch my Samus: Metroid's Controversial Turn
Very interesting article, although you might want to put a spoilers-warning somewhere near the top.
Re: Help WiiWare Demos Get a Time Extension and Win BIT.TRIP FATE
Actually I do own AYIM and nto Fate (yet) since I only recently got Runner but haven't started it yet.
Re: Nintendo Download - 10th December 2010 (Europe)
@Gamesake- He doesn't want to get paid for his hard work? Yeah right, son.
Re: Claire Redfield Joins the Resident Evil Mercenaries Gang
Tagline for the win.
Also, it looks pretty. Hope that its worth picking up as a seperate title for those who played RE4 and RE5.
Re: Resident Evil: Revelations Returns to Series' Exploration Roots
They also announced that the other title, Mercenaries was it?, is about 70% done, which makes sense since it is based off of RE5 assets.
Re: Wii Balance Board Gets its First Horror Title Next Year
I hope this makes it over, unlike Fatal Frame IV.

Re: Frobot Funks Up WiiWare on December 20th
I hope they didn't "funk up" in development and drop the ball. (Comment made for bad pun.)
Re: Ubisoft Sticks It to Michael Jackson: The Experience DS Pirates
It probably won't last, but I think it's a very creative measure.

Re: Review: Golden Sun: Dark Dawn (DS)
I'll wait for Christmas for this one. GOLD!!
Re: Taito's Trademark Applications Suggest the Return of SNES Titles
VC Support?! Crazy talk. But I might forgive a little if I see some Lufia.
Re: Meet Snivy, Oshawott and Tepig, Pokemon Fans
If I even choose to get this game, I'm just gonna give them the NL nicknames. They're so much better.
Oshawatt makes me think of "Ocelot" but I don't see any such connection.

Re: Review: Donkey Kong Country Returns (Wii)
As expected, and this is why its my most-wanted Wii game of the year (and foreseeable future.)

Re: North America Gets In On WiiWare Demo Action Next Week
@mickeymac-same, i'd like to try that one.
I'll try the demos for bit trip and Truspace, but I have the others.
Re: Nintendo Download: 15th November 2010 (North America)
I believe there'll only be one or two VC for the rest of the year, and one will be Mario Party 2. People really should get used to about one or two quality WW releases a month nowadays and maybe a VC, if we're lucky.
Re: Competition Winners: Rabbids Sleep Over (UK)
Congrats to all the winners. I have no idea what happened in the 1966 World Cup, though. Yay for sports fail. Guess I could google it...

Re: Review: Mix Superstar (WiiWare)
Well, I will definately be getting this next time I'm home (over Thanksgiving break.) Cant wait to make some jams.

Re: Dive into Conduit 2's Special Edition Only at Gamestop
Looks pretty decent. What was the first one rated, that the second is 16?
Just wondering if they were making it more "mature."
Re: Rumour: House of the Dead: Overkill Sequel on the Way
Really? I played HotD 2 and 3 and thought they were 1 hour each of suckitude. Overkill was way more up my alley.
Re: HotD: Overkill Scoops Award for Record Use Of The F-Bomb
Dethroned by Mafia II now, for the record.
Re: Rumour: House of the Dead: Overkill Sequel on the Way
Bring it on! I want another one, yeah! (Also, it no longer holds the record, Mafia II dethroned it.)

Re: You Can Gaze At This Super Mario 25th Anniversary Box Now
Seriously anyone basing this off of how many megabytes used on the disc are looking up the wrong creek.
Re: You Can Gaze At This Super Mario 25th Anniversary Box Now
Looks delicious. Cannot wait for this collection.
Re: Digital Leisure's Mix Superstar Decks WiiWare on Monday
Could be cool, hope it delivers!
Re: WiiWare Gets Second Round of Heavy Fire with Black Arms
Yeah, but as #2 and the OP have said, this one is going to need massive improvements before it's really worth downloading.
