Re: Isaiah Triforce Johnson Grabs First Wii U at Launch Event

RetroGBHippie92

I'm not jealous, but this guy's done this waaaaaaaay too much, he needs to let someone else be first and i'm not talking about me. Wasn't there somebody on NL who knows the real Isiah triforce Johnson? I think he shouldn't be first if his friends are placeholding his spot in the line when he's not there. Since he does this a lot and we are hearing all about this, it just makes me think he's had his spotlight and now he should give it up to someone else.

Re: Jack Tretton Wishes Nintendo Every Success With Wii U

RetroGBHippie92

@HarmoKnight i'm 20 and even though I don't usually have the need to take my 3DS with me wherever I go, I'm not afraid to open my 3DS out in public and play, especially when we are away on holiday or visiting relatives. Normal people just need to realise that there are us Ninty fans who aren't wee little kids, because you know not everyone chats on Nintendo life.

Re: Jack Tretton Wishes Nintendo Every Success With Wii U

RetroGBHippie92

@Tech_101 Yeah Sony has done this in the past, only to copy Nintendo completely. Uggh I hate the industry at the moment and right now it's either awesome if you love (or have always loved) Nintendo at the moment or you see Sony and Microsoft being complete kissasses.
@sinalefa Don't listen to pachter, even for an analyst he is never right on the money with Nintendo. He always predicts price drops and sales etc, but in fact he doesn't seem to understand their strategy at all and never gets it right. I watch his videos from time to time, but I'm always rolling my eyes because he is such a hypocrite. When I mean he's a hypocrite, I mean he's nearly always dissing Nintendo and their strategies, but he has a ton of DS or other nintendo products sitting behind him like he's a fanboy.

@MrWezzle That there is just your standard PR press release, of course they wont tell you. Last time I contacted Nintendo, they said the exact same thing, dont worry im sure you NAers will get it soon, everyone in PAL has Ninja Gaiden.
Then again you guys get all the awesome releases and we are stuck with 1 or 2 releases a week, so I think it's fair for you guys to wait a little longer. I still want Cave Story and The Denpamen, they still haven't made it here and we're meant to get both Q4.

Re: Nicalis Blasting onto 3DS eShop with Guxt

RetroGBHippie92

@Knuckles You do know that PAL also includes Australia and New Zealand right? I know it's a common mistake, but just remember in the future. I hate complaining about Nicalis, I really do and what I hate most is tweeting them and them never responding, anyone else getting the silent treatment?

Re: Nicalis Blasting onto 3DS eShop with Guxt

RetroGBHippie92

Hmmm...great, they'e probably just teasing us now, this article was just begging for me to show up. While I'll try anything Nicalis would have put out, I'm really hoping they don't break their promise of releasing Cave Story on eShop here in PAL territory. They said it's meant to be out Q4 and I still don't see it anywhere.

Re: Nintendo Download: 15th November 2012 (Europe)

RetroGBHippie92

@Philip_J_Reed WelI I would download something, but unfortunately Cave Story is not out yet, but rest assured bro, I am buying Marvel Pinball 3D before friday, it's still on sale on the eShop. Really loved the demo and learning how to get skill shots and being patient too, it helps to be patient with pinball, at least that's what I've learnt.

Re: Talking Point: Life Without Wii U Achievements

RetroGBHippie92

I think most people on this topic agree on the same thing and that's achievements no longer have any true meaning. My love of video games isn't exactly nostalgia based, but I prefer a system that isn't always doing the same thing as the rest of the industry. Nintendo knows what they're doing, they are the leaders of the industry, it's just nobody that doesn't play a nintendo system, has the guts to admit it.

Re: Talking Point: Life Without Wii U Achievements

RetroGBHippie92

The only thing I'd like Nintendo to do is allow you to customise your Mii. Maybe Nintendo could allow you to unlock clothes etc to customise your Mii by actually beating the game once through, instead of finding a specific way using an achievement based system. That way, when people look at your Mii on Miiverse, they know "oh he bet SSB4!" or " he bet Metroid 5, he must of collected all the power-ups" etc

Re: Talking Point: Life Without Wii U Achievements

RetroGBHippie92

Nintendo doesn't need achievements. I think by the sound of it, miiverse might be the thing we need. We can use it to brag about specific things and not like on 360, where all achievements are designed by the developers, who are only out to make money, at least Nintendo cares enough not to copy.

Re: Review: The Trash Pack (3DS)

RetroGBHippie92

@Barbiegurl777 Considering the low price compared to more higher quality 3DS games, I guess you get what you pay for, but in all seriousness I've never liked gross-out cartoons or toys. I used to like Crazy Bones as a kid, but that's completely different and they were actually popular back when I was in primary school. I know how companies lure kids into buying bad products and often it revolves around gross stuff or stuff that kids think older siblings enjoy like monsters, aliens etc. That's how Nintendo hooked me on Pokemon when it originally came out...except pokemon is great and stands the test of time and this game doesn't and won't.

Re: Review: The Trash Pack (3DS)

RetroGBHippie92

@Barbiegurl777 Serious gamers like us probably would never even touch this type of shovelware let alone look at it, it's just really Trashy stuff. (and yet the bad puns still continue to stink this topic up)

Re: Wii to Wii U Data Transfer Details Emerge

RetroGBHippie92

I don't know whether I'm gonna gt a Wii U or not, depends if i'm gonna be alive to experience it again, I've demoed it already, but yeah...
I probably won't transfer my stuff, wouldn't your wii become ultimately useless if you just transferred everything over? It just seems to me that the wii won't be enjoyed for what it was, years from now and everybody will refer to it as 'That console' since everybody will be able to play their games on the Wii U and not have to use their old Wii. I didn't spend $400 on my Wii for it then become absolutely useless after 6 years of owning it.

Re: Nintendo Download: 8th November 2012 (Europe)

RetroGBHippie92

Where is Cave Story+? Nicalis definitely confirmed it for Q4, now what? this is getting ridiculous, either we are all getting the great 3DSware in december or they're just afraid to lose money on our region.... thank the australian government for not having the ratings thing sorted out and the costs of localizing lowered.
Meanwhile, we're meant to be getting Aeroporter from level 5 this month and then Crimson shroud next month, but it seems only level 5 has managed to spread out their releases, unlike Nintendo and Nicalis, whom we are still waiting on The Denpamen: They came by Wave, Cave Story+ and NightSky.

Re: Retro City Rampage Isn't Headed Down Under

RetroGBHippie92

Uggh Australian leglisation is BS!! Why should it have to affect us too? This is the problem when two countries share a Entertainment & Software Ratings board, it's stupid, incoherent and obtuse. Hurry up Australia and sort this out!
Why do they have to pay $2000? that's quite a risk since any game on a download platform isn't necessarily gonna make it up and more. This is why the Australian eShop is slow, broken and worse than the europe eShop, at least they've got more 3DSware, though not necessarily great.

Re: Nintendo Download: 1st November 2012 (Europe)

RetroGBHippie92

I hope Monster Shooter arrives in our eShop, even if it is more of one of those shovelware-esque type games, to me it looks pretty fun. I normally buy the good eshop titles, but if we get it on friday I may just download that and maybe Hana Samurai, i've been meaning to play that.

Re: Nintendo Download: 1st November 2012 (Europe)

RetroGBHippie92

@Windy LOL I live in NZ, but I really want us PALers to get these games soon, I really am sick of having to constantly tweet Nicalis and never getting a reply on the matter, gees they're afraid of money.....
As for the Denpamen, that's apparently out in December! My god nintendo, why aren't we not being treated the same way? I don't see why we should miss out on titles for so long, after all they should be able to localise pretty quickly because we all speak english down under, Doi!

Re: Nintendo Download: 1st November 2012 (Europe)

RetroGBHippie92

@Windy Well we already got Liberation Maiden, I'm holding out for Crimson Shroud, The Denpamen and Cave Story, man I'm gonna be busy close to Xmas!
Nicalis is taking forever as per usual with their releases, I'm waiting for something to play as I'm all out of retail games to finish or complete again.

Re: 3DS eShop Title The Denpa Men 2 Is Coming To The West

RetroGBHippie92

@CosmicMii Of course there is Cozzie, because it'll be a long way off until the sequel is released and this one is meant to be really fun, The Denpa Men: They came by wave is coming out at Xmas time, sometime in december, at least over here in PAL territorries where it hasn't been released yet. i'm defintely getiing it when it arrives on the eShop here in NZ.

Re: Miiverse To Be Detailed In An Upcoming Nintendo Direct

RetroGBHippie92

Have any of you actually played a Wii U yet? maybe a demo unit or at a expo/comic con? I've played some very good games like Zombi U and New Super Mario Bros. U and even if we don't know anything about Miiverse just yet, it's not going to sway me from getting the console.
Zombi U has notifications etc and hopefully in the full game maybe achceivements? look Miiverse to me looks cheap and we haven't seen much of it yet either, so I can't comment any further until i get the actual console or see the Nintendo direct.

@ei8htbit From what i've seen of the machine, i'm hardly thinking the start up will be any better dude, but who knows, you can dream.....

Re: Guess What? Michael Pachter Isn't a Fan of The Wii U

RetroGBHippie92

@DaveGX No one cares about the Vita dude, just because it was the first to utilize the crossPlay function, doesn't mean developers are necessarily gonna support it. Damn man, you need to chill out, why so serious? I think Nintendo is going to be successful despite your raging. Besides what's your point, I can't pinpoint what exactly you want out of these comments of yours. If it's the fact all companies are copying each other, then yes but it's not like nobody's noticed, so stop pointing out the obvious.

Re: Guess What? Michael Pachter Isn't a Fan of The Wii U

RetroGBHippie92

Pachter would be embarrassed to be associated with Nintendo from an industry perspective, I mean not many gamers particularly want to be seen with any Nintendo product, it's like some secret shame, that's why we get little pricks asking for a stupid "Nintendo phone" because they're too embarrassed to be seen with one in public.
I've watched patter for quite some time, if it's one thing about him, it's that he's never right, all he makes is predictons because he's an analyst, but clearly analysts are BS because he is BS, true story.....The more you know (^*^)

Re: Guess What? Michael Pachter Isn't a Fan of The Wii U

RetroGBHippie92

This Pachter guy is really starting to piss me off, all he says is bad stuff against Nintendo and clearly he isn't a fanboy, but look at his office when he's shooting those videos, he clearly has a ton of DS games stacked behind him at all times, why does he complain? because he's trying to create discussion and hate on nintendo, for money obviously. Lets face it, Pachter is in love with nintendo, he is just embarassed to be associated with them.

Re: Review: Angry Birds Trilogy (3DS)

RetroGBHippie92

I hate Angry Birds, period. The most boring "video game" in history, hell I personally IMO wouldn't give it any credit for being a video game. Although I own an iPod, I never use it to play games, it's not what an MP3 player is for anyway. Why on earth Nintendo is allowing this dev to publish these glorified iPhone apps as a "video game" is beyond me.

Re: Nintendo Announces Big eShop Releases Coming This Year

RetroGBHippie92

Where's cave story? I'm glad vvvvvv is out now and I was immensely happy about this weeks Nintendo direct and eshop offerings, I just would like to see Nintendo keep this up and I'm glad we're eventually getting The Denpamen and some more games like Nano Assault Ex, which never got released here in retail format. Congratulations Nintendo, you won me back yet again!!

Re: Review: Cave Story (3DS eShop)

RetroGBHippie92

This version was confirmed to be coming to EU and AU several months ago, also I've been waiting for a handheld version since the DSiware version. Now all of you are beginning to grumble, hey i've tried my best to ask Nicalis when it's coming put here, if you want to try be my guest.

Re: Nintendo Download: 4th October 2012 (Europe)

RetroGBHippie92

This is the line up I expected last week, oh well, I'm sure Nintendo can compensate by giving us Denpamen AND Cave Story+ next week.... Seriously I don't want to be waiting months or years for these titles, it was bad enough for the DSiware version of CS to not arrive like intended, in PAL territories.

Re: Feature: Lessons From a Gaming Expo

RetroGBHippie92

Which is usually the best comic-con to go to in America? San Diego or NYC? I want to know because I may visit America next year and I'm not at all familiar with those gaming events. I live in New Zealand and we only have one Pop culture/gaming expo called the Armageddon Expo and it's held around the main cities, the Auckland one is held around October and that's probably the biggest in our country. I've been to 4 of these expos in our capital, Wellington and they're not as big as the Auckland Armagedon. I'm hopefully going to this years Auckland event, my favourite voice actor, Charles Martinet, is coming to NZ for the first time!

Re: The Denpa Men are Coming to Your 3DS Next Week

RetroGBHippie92

Nintendo doesn't seem to like to offer any hints that any games that are released on Americas eshop are going to come over to PAL regions. I have no idea what Nintendo of Australia really wants to achieve with theirs because there are hardly any must have downloads and The Denpamen is one of those games I want localized here more than Cave Story+.

Re: Platinum: Without Nintendo, There Would Be No Bayonetta 2

RetroGBHippie92

If I ever get a Wii U i'll get Bayonetta 2, If it comes with a director's cut of the first game that would be awesome, but I'm not too worried about not having played the first game. I'm not against the 360/PS3, it's just that I don't have the time or money to buy and support three consoles, that's why I have the cheapest, my Wii.
