Warhammer Champions is incredible, and it sucks that people will pass it off because of the art or other superficial reasons. I don't even like Warhammer but this is one of the highest quality TCGs out there.
"As always Nintendo of America wants you to check the eShop and the official Sales & Deals website for discount details "
Uhhh... This weekly post of new releases and discounts is one of the main draws of going to NintendoLife. Why the change after 7 years? It seems silly to have to click through to another site to find that content.
Giant Bomb's core idea holds true. Numbers literally don't matter and are too static for all these games which are so dynamic and different. The content of the review is all that matters.
"… it became uncomfortable holding a heavy controller in a steady state to avoid the Transfer Pak becoming loose during long play sessions. Frequent encounters of slow game loading times when travelling from area to area also occurred, and in the end many opted to revert back to playing their monster catching adventures on a handheld device."
As a big Pokémon fan who played Stadium/2 extensively upon release, along with my friends, this sounded so inaccurate to me.
-Heavy controller? Even with Transfer Pak + Game, it's not heavy.
-Coming loose? Literally never happened to me or my friends.
-Slow loading times? Only if you boot it in the slow-load-time mode, which is only useful for short play sessions. There's the second mode which loads a lot of the game, thus decreasing the frequency of loading screens.
-If we were at home, we always preferred to play RBY on Stadium/2 because of the Dodrio GB Tower, allowing you to play at 3x speed.
There should be a cheater tournament, because not cheating takes too much effort. Also, there are ways to disguise a hacked monster, so I'm sure the actual percent is much higher.
Virtual Boy compilation for 3DS, or perhaps eShop releases. Featuring -Original red mode graphics -Enhanced mode with up-to-date graphics.
In-development, unreleased VB games should also be released. Also, with VB re-releases, the rest of the world would be getting previously Japan-only VB titles.
Absolutely. On my own, months ago, I thought it was inevitable that Nintendo would release a Virtual Boy compilation for 3DS, with original red mode graphics, and enhanced mode with up-to-date graphics. I'd still buy some on 3DS VC instead of a cartridge compilation. If possible, they should also release the in-development and half-finished games that were never released. Also, with VB re-release, the rest of the world would be getting Japan-only VB titles.

Windjammers is awesome.
Not sure how I feel about the pseudo-3D presentation. I'll keep an eye on it.

Good post. I've been waiting for Treasurenauts all these years. Other than Xeodrifter, I don't care about the other releases/news since.

I have a WonderSwan. It's way better than GBA and a shame it didn't release in the west.

Re: Review: 3D Space Harrier (3DS eShop)
If you're going to play Space Harrier, this is the version you must play. There are so many options, you can use the touch screen to control Harrier, and it's in 3D, which helps immensely! These Sega 3D Classics aren't just bare hones ports like Nintendo's worthless ROMs.

It doesn't even need to be in 3D. The game is what we want, not the effect.
