replace the soccer game with Rocket Knight Adventures. Serioulusly Konami. Sparkster doesn't get enough love and respect as is because you aren't willing to give him more attention. I know there was a new game released recently on Steam and Xbox and all, but a game that was equal or even better than the original has not yet happened, so now is your chance.
When has a soccer video game EVER been remembered? It's just going to end up in the bargain bin like every other sports game. It's the nature and destiny of all sports games to be worth $2 eventually, except NBA Jam. Rocket Knight is the perfect series to rebirth on the 3DS and give it the audience it deserves!
That looks cool, and definitely a plus for people who already have the controller. The only problem is Screwattack already beat you to the punch Epicenter for a Typing of the Dead "rebirth." It's called Texting of the Bread and its on the apple store for $2. I wonder if this game will have 10 hours plus of gameplay like TotB does. If this is a full $50 when its released, and I assume it is, its got a LOT of ground to make up when compared to a $2 game. Of course then that goes to an argument of spending money on an Ipod verses spending it on rock band.
+100 in wisdom is too advanced of a saying for FFMQ. I already have it and its not THAT bad though. Thruspace looks interesting even though I've never heard of it, and I'll have to add it to my growing list of wiiware games to download: excite bike, blaster master overdrive, castlevania rebirth, mega man 10, sonic 4...
funny, I was thinking of getting the disc sometime soon. This is a better option obviously because now it can just be a channel. However, I also have a ps3 so the ability to play blue ray is too great an option not to pass up. I think having to pay $9 a month for unlimited movies or whatever isn't bad at all if I have to spend that same amount to be able to rent only 2 movies at some rental store. But the problem with that is there aren't many movies at all I want to see at the moment, so maybe if I wait a year to see movies after everyone else, then get this, I can pay for only 1 month and be able to watch a gajillion movies in that time!
Lol one of the passwords I've used for years is stated in this review. I've been so busy with school and stuff I didn't even realize this game was out today! I've gotta pick this and sonic 4 up asap! Now I just need DKCR and I'm set for the rest of the year!
Also it will be different for a kirby game, finally, because all the other games were starting to get repetitive by how similar they were. I also think not being able to fly through the stage at the top of the screen anymore is a HUGE plus!
Soo all those extra copies of Sonic Rush and Sonic Rush Adventure and the Wii games are now officially out of print huh and wont be seen on the shelves much longer... Now they are collectible then!!!!
I've gotten plenty of Jimi Hendrix bootlegs for free (mostly because they are all things not officially released anyway) and I don't feel guilty. I liked the part about listening to it in the car and getting weird looks, but they don't matter. So true
I loved this video and found it very sexy. Can't wait to get the game and listen to some tunes!
The only promotion I've ever seen for videogames are the ones that are 1st party, and even then those are rare to see on tv. Most has to be relied on word of mouth and the internet, and if that fails its the developers fault for not promoting it.
Screw Trey Smith. Once again EA blames the gamer for having an open mind about a product. What other industry or medium or whatever has the company blame the consumer for their problems!?!? Hell people get away with suing McDonald's for spilling coffee on themselves, so I have every right to say EA screwed up because they couldn't figure out how the internet works on the Wii.
Yeah makes sense I can believe it. Because of the original Gameboy's success, Nintendo will ALWAYS take the cheap route now. Their reasoning is because they want to find the best and new ways to use old technology that hasn't been done before.
Wow not even a proper Sonic game can get a 10/10! It really shows something when a game like Shantae RR can get a perfect score without having to have a bunch of failed attempts like Sonic did. Maybe it just goes to show the classic Sonic formula is good but not THAT good compared to something like Mario or Zelda. Someone once told me Sonic games suck now a days because they were never good to begin with.
I'll still pick this up though, because I can't resist a good platformer!
Man I can't believe they kept the subtitle "Colors" for the US release, usually anything involving rainbows is shunned as homosexual so kids would find the game gay. It looks cool but it also looks like you still just run right through the levels without thinking about your actions very much. I hope I'm wrong though.
Also add another game shunned away from online for the Wii.
If I wasn't concentrating so much on school right now and was working again, I'd sooo spend all of my money on a DSi and this game. I knew this would get the first 10/10 and I'm happy for it!
Man this guy is awesome, saying the same type of things I would say, especially about the sissy gamers of today and hoping for VB on the 3DS to play Wario Land. I can't wait to buy this game and the original. Its a shame we'll never hear more about the Advanced version though..
When I first played Little King's Story, I didn't know what to expect. I was surprised when I realized I had played the game 11 hours straight. It's pretty much like a Pikmin game that has only the similar style and nothing else. I still have to play Muramasa, but I'd love for sequels to happen.
Yeah this is another game on my to get list, but I think I'm going to get the tournament edition because it has more. I'm sure the game is hell of a lot of fun.
I surprisingly don't care that the game is episodic. It just means we have more to look forward to instead of everything in one fell swoop. Although it would suck if it ends up costing $60 but oh well, better than a PS360 disc sonic game I suppose. I'm glad they seem to be doing everything right with it though, and will be glad to download once I have the money for it.
Giving away DS' with cereal? One thing I've never understood is that if the DS is soooo popular, then why is it time and time again that I see the PSP being played in all of the shock/thrill movies (that crapfest 2012 comes to mind)? Movies are supposed to be "politically correct" so is there really people around every corner playing a DS? There should be.
Hopefully the 3DS changes all of that, and it becomes twice as popular as the DS, especially with the whole 3D craze going on right now. It might be able to overtake the Iphone even, until Apple comes out with a 3D model of the touch.
Man I've been waiting so long for this. I didn't even know I was waiting for it, that's how unknown about it I was for this to be released. Far more exciting than that anorexic Shantae.
HOLY RUMMIKUB!!!! RUMMIKUB RUMMIKUB RUMMIKUB!!! I LOOOOOOOOOOVVEEEEEEEEEE RUMMIKUB!!! This update is soo awesome! We even got a VC release to boot (not that I care about that game)! Why is the DSi ware soo much better than the wii ware crap!?! HUH!? WHY DOES THE WIIWARE HAVE TO SUCK SO BAD!? God this week is aweful now!!!!
@MasterGraveheart I guess its a good thing I live in America and not Amrica then so I don't have to worry about being on their most wanted list! I mean, I'd love to get that game but I'd have to get a DSi or wait to download it on the 3DS once I have monnies.
I really hope we are spared. I don't want Justin Bieber, Johanes Brothers, Hanna Montana, and Kanye West to spread their crap in a very craptastic Crapmas this year.
If this isn't released in the US because of the stupid obsessed Japanese pokemaniacs I'll be pissed at whoever decides which games are released in what regions. Granted, its also lack of advertising, and possibly they aren't as interested in their own feudal history like foreigners are (they are probably sick hearing about ancient Japan anyway). But I want this game to at least continue to be released around the world so the people who DO appreciate it can enjoy it, which I don't think is a problem yet. Pokemon is great and all but that's frickin ridiculous, they keep adding more pokemon because they know you wont have time to max out the abilities of all of them. Unless you cheat.
This game is on my list of 30 or so NES games I still have to get that I want. That cover art is rad (like the vegan police in Scott Pilgrim). Also it still looks like a pretty damn fun platformer, and seeing as its my favorite genre, I can't let it pass by.
Yeah that's cool and all but maybe I fail to see the point. Sure it would be neat to show off at first, but if you have 20 things turned into NES's in your house its gonna get pretty redundant fast. Besides, its bulkier than a standard DVD player anyway. Now if it was Blue-Ray, or even PS3 inside of an NES, that would be hilarious.
If Sonic is really so fast, then how is it every other character in the game has an equal chance to be just as fast if not faster? I never understood that about those games. For the same reason I don't understand why Sonic needs a car.
Well its really quite obvious everyone will buy OOT in 3D. I kinda figured they'd make it a full-priced title (possibly) to milk its success. Also as we know launch titles aren't the only games immediately coming out. Remember the gamecube? That only had literally 3-7 games at launch. Within a month of release of this system, we'll have at least 5 more must-have games added to this list.
@MeloMan We have found things to hate about the 3DS. The stylus holder is on the back and left side of the system as opposed to the usual right side people are used to. This is better for Lefthanders though, because we had to cross reach to the right side, yet us Lefthanders complain that there is only one thumb slide pad on the left side and not another on the right side so we dont have to use the stylus in our right hand which is as difficult as trying to write in real life.
I have this on Ipod because I heard it was good a year or so ago, and played it once and never again. I might play it again, but like most RPGs I play that I know little about I end up getting bored from the beginning before I leave the first town (that's especially with Suikoden for me). I wish I would have waited now, because having no buttons on an Itouch is obviously wrong for a vidya game like this.
Hmm, this crown thing at first made me think too complicated, like I'm going to have to spend needless time maxing out my abilities of jobs like FF3 and FF5. But upon watching the video it seems to incorporate the FFTactics Advance way of gaining abilities, which was my only really favorite thing from that tedious game. Now if it has the motivation like FF6 gave with gaining magic for the characters through percentage points, then this is great news and look even more forward to this game.
Why can't they just go back to the original style like the first Mario vs. Donkey Kong and Donkey Kong on the GB where you ran around as Mario doing things. This Mario-mini Lemmings kinda thing is starting to get old to me.
Man, its like the 3DS does everything right the first time that the Wii should have done right the first time. Except the Wii controller was ambidextrous. Does this mean we're gonna need wrist strap replacements for the 3DS in case we get sucked too far into the world and think its real and start moving/throwing around the system?
Capcom is really pushing for this game. Nice. I never had the chance to play the original SF4 so this will be awesome for me to pick up. I like the "new opponent has entered" thing.
That's cool but I guess they like skipping first games in a series, kinda like how we have super c and not contra for some stupid reason. As well as no Bloodlines and Hard Corps on the Genesis.
Man I sure would love to be one of those 4 million. Too bad Nintendo doesn't care about left-handers and all the sudden requires me to use my right hand to write stuff with the stylus on the touchscreen.
Maybe I didn't notice anything wrong with the game because I have only played the Curly mode. I figured I played enough as Q on the pc dozens of times.

Re: Konami Has a Quartet of Franchises Heading to 3DS
replace the soccer game with Rocket Knight Adventures. Serioulusly Konami. Sparkster doesn't get enough love and respect as is because you aren't willing to give him more attention. I know there was a new game released recently on Steam and Xbox and all, but a game that was equal or even better than the original has not yet happened, so now is your chance.
When has a soccer video game EVER been remembered? It's just going to end up in the bargain bin like every other sports game. It's the nature and destiny of all sports games to be worth $2 eventually, except NBA Jam. Rocket Knight is the perfect series to rebirth on the 3DS and give it the audience it deserves!
Re: Interviews: Epicenter Studios - Rock of the Dead
That looks cool, and definitely a plus for people who already have the controller. The only problem is Screwattack already beat you to the punch Epicenter for a Typing of the Dead "rebirth." It's called Texting of the Bread and its on the apple store for $2. I wonder if this game will have 10 hours plus of gameplay like TotB does. If this is a full $50 when its released, and I assume it is, its got a LOT of ground to make up when compared to a $2 game. Of course then that goes to an argument of spending money on an Ipod verses spending it on rock band.

Re: Netflix Channel Now Available From Wii Shop

Also it will be different for a kirby game, finally, because all the other games were starting to get repetitive by how similar they were. I also think not being able to fly through the stage at the top of the screen anymore is a HUGE plus!
