SONIC HEROES
DO WANT. DO WANT SO HARD.

No seriously though, the music of Sonic Heroes made even the worst parts of that pretty decent game enjoyable. I still love the game anyway, but the music is just "HNNNNNNG" good, guys and gals

I'm not even a fan of the Starfox series...
but anything Retro Studios makes is absolute gold so I will buy it anyway. They convinced me with the Prime series and DKCR that they are extremely talented.

I got my Lords of Thunder. I'm good

Dear god yes, Gotcha Force is one of my favorite gamecube games of all time and I still have it today <3

I knew it was popular/well-loved in Japan but a reprint? That's great news!
Please please PLEASE make a sequel, my life would be complete

I remember back when Sonic 4 was a good idea.
Episodic releases and bad execution has made it into a terrible one though

Finally moving forward with my split Nintendo/Sony love and got myself a 160gb Slim PS3
also Brutal Legend
Sonic's Ultimate Genesis Collection
Disgaea 4
and a $20 PSN card (which bought me Crash Bandicoot 2, Rayman, and Resident Evil 3: Nemesis)

Gonna spend the next few years catching up on my Sony gaming I've missed out on. WOOOOOO!

I'll just buy it on Steam if I wanted to, but I don't really. It's not a spectacular game by any means. Still, I'm glad they decided that it was better to with-hold the game for quality standards.

But if Retro City Rampage doesn't come out for the same reasons...rage will occur >:[

Thought this was gonna be good, and it was only okay. I prefer Duane and Brand0's Zelda raps though, they're a lot funner.

Playing it right now and absolutely loving it Thanks for the review Corbs, I'm sure I'll enjoy it just as much as you have.

@9. They did. Wing is in Kirby's Return to Dreamland (you can see it in the japanese overview trailer)

Yay! I can't wait, just filled out my pre-order and am waiting joyfully!
It figures, the only two brand new games I buy this year are both Kiby games XD

P.S. Mass Attack was great, and this looks like the beautiful baby of Kirby Super Star and Kirby 64

I agree with the score as well, me being blinded by nostalgia previously, I took a look back and still enjoy a considerable amount of the game, but it's still nowhere near a "really good (7)" or even "great (8)." I concur.

cries tears of joy
YESSSSS!
I played Super Mario Land 2 back when I was only 3 years old with my gameboy color and it's always held some very fond memories with me.
Can't wait to play it again!

YESYESYESYESYESYESYES
I played the demo about three or four times and absolutely loved it. Picking up a copy tomorrow

I finally got this game recently (6 months ago) since I never had the chance to play it, and I really like it.
I need to finish it though, I've been busy.

P.S. Fantastic article. Very well-written and engaging

Yes! I am a crazy masochist when I played RUNNER and FATE and loved 'em, so I can't wait to finally experience the other games in the series as well as all the unlockable stuff.
TAKE MY MONEY, GAIJIN. YOU DESERVE IT

Just two months? AWESOME. Kirby gamecube/Wii has been in the works for a long time and I'll be sure to pick up Mass Attack next month as well as this the month after

Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest

I can only say that because I loved every single moment of that game and none of it was bad for me. Most other SNES games I can say I didn't enjoy certain aspects as much as others.

But for me, DKC2 is the PERFECT SNES game

As long as it has the bonus temple (hell) music, then I'll be happy

Needs more Streets of Rage

Well, uhh, congratz current and future 3DS owners, I guess.
I still have no plans to pick it up, though.

Oh noes, not Pacman!? How am I going to erase the "SEX" initials that players much better than me leave when I buy the game used!? URRRRGH

Okay, sarcastic joke aside, I don't fine this one to be that big of a deal.

Huh!? That's what's causing the delay? I'm glad they're being cool and trying to release it as close to other countries as possible but...come on, USK, you're holding us back!

marks another etch on the wall for La Mulana

COME ONNNNNNN.

cough called this since I saw the trailer cough

In countries with common sense, fans blame capcom!

In all seriousness though, wow Capcom. I have no words for that completely false and BS excuse you just sputtered out.
Blaming US? US!? us. U.S. , U.S.A!?
NO WAY.

Even when I'm being serious, I still end up making a reference to a tv show

watch them not fix a single issue you had with this and keep the game as is. I'm expecting a 6/10 for DS version

No.
NO! NO, NO GOD, NO! NO!
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

In all seriousness, I'm fine with them putting these out as long as they make money, but I'm not buying a single one.

shrugs Oh well. I'm happy for the dev team that they were so involved with fans this time around, so they share our pain, but I wasn't really interested in the project since I don't really care for the Legends series. I was glad when MMU got cancelled since it was a terrible idea in the first place, but Legends 3 getting cancelled is a HUGE disappointment for those fans out there.
hands out cookies

Call me in 4 years when MMV comes out on the 3DS VC. Til' then, I'll pass.
GB MM 1-4 are unfair and mostly very annoying to play.

A 2!? oh my goodness! You, sir, have offended me!
...How could this possibly get more than a 1?

Developer: Hmm, we still need to work on the gameplay a bit before we release this..
Publisher: We gotta push this pixel angle, people. MORE PIXELS!

Yeesh, another game to import.

Oh look, my wallet's on fire from how often I'm burning through it.

continues waiting for La Mulana
This is a great update!

>_>
<_<

continues waiting for La Mulana

In my opinion, Pokemon Rumble had it own unique charm but that charm quickly faded when I realized that it was THE most repetitive game I'd ever played, and paying 15 bucks for it was absolutely ridiculous. Hopefully new content will make up for it being an updated retail game, but I highly doubt it.

P.S. The only pokemon spin-off series I liked was Pokemon Pinball. PKMN Pinball Ruby & Sapphire is one of my all-time favorite games, actually. COME ON NINTENDO IT'S THE 5TH GEN, MAKE A NEW PKMN PINBALL GAME

Something tells me I should've kept my neighbor's Commodore64

Very nice review. You brought up your gripes as well as explained what the game did that works.

In my opinion, I absolutely LOATHE, not being able to unlock anything in a game. As much as I love playing MVC2's downloable version on my best friend's PS3, we both agree having everything unlocked by the get-go lessened the experience for us.

It's officially out in Japan! Good for them!

YES! I love this show! Even people outide can understand the humor in it, Arino is just THAT funny

Hmm, MM5's out already? cool. downloads

jaw drops can they really include all that!? C'mon Gaijin, don't let us down.

a special Nippon Ichi surprise is the only thing that would make me buy this at full price since I already have the WiiWare version.

"Coming into your hands"
...That was unexpected O.O (might wanna edit that. anybody?)
P.S. AWESOME NEW SMASH BROS AHGBAJGJABJGAADA

@9. It was on the left side of the screen there really quickly before the camera goes off at the end of the show. Two Kirby games actually

Also yeah, looks like Nintendo is hopping off the Wii for now. Keep moving forward, I guess.
P.S. I am really excited for this console actually! I love innovation and Nintendo is taking things to a whole new level once again

Hoping for the best since I like the Toys for Bob developers.

...Then again, they did develop the Disney Skateboarding game

Okay, story time. I myself, have been gaming since a little after I could walk properly. Picture a two year old holding a Playstation controller or a game boy color and that was me. Now, I will admit I played Teen-Rated games WELL UNDER the age limit for the games, but as long as I was young I didn't really know or care and the blood/violence didn't affect me at all. I didn't play M-rated games until I was at least 10 though I've never been negatively affected by a violent video game in my life, due to being a sensible, fun-loving person.

After all, video games aren't a drug, they're an ANTI-drug. Yes, I did just make that dumb joke

Hooray! I knew the good folks at Nigoro and Nicalis would make this title get released eventually! Oh, I can't wait, it's finally almost here, and a release date coming soon too! I better go tack on another 1000 wii points and settle back into "Waiting Mode."

Plenty of better wii games retail for $20 though. I personally would give this a 5. Sure, the collection of mediocore games are alright on their own merits, but I'd suggest it as a weekend rental.

I think Casual and Harcore gamers are really defined just by how much of an impact games have of their lifestyle. If they're a consistent gamer who takes up more time playing games, then they're hardcore. On the other spectrum, if gaming is just a simple hobby for them and they play games occasionally, then they're Casual. I don't beleve what type of games you play enters the equation at all if you ask me

I nominate Retro Studios for Developer of the Decade. Anyone else think so?
