Re: Blaster Master: Overdrive Coming to WiiWare on Monday

Rezarch

Completely out of no where!

I'm still very enamored with Tatsunoko vs. Capcom, but I'll probably download this anyway to show my support (and then stick it on the backburner). Looks great!

Between this, Phoenix Wright Justice for All on the Feb 15, and Rondo of Blood looming somewhere on the horizon, I'm going to be broke!

Re: Review: Glory of Heracles (DS)

Rezarch

I'm passing on this one. I was interested to see how it was going to be received in NA, and while I enjoy a good RPG, something about the style of GoH just doesn't appeal to me.

(and @Koto - agreed. I love the DS a lot for this reason. It's like SNES days all over again!)

Re: Review: Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney (WiiWare)

The presentation is the only downside of the WiiWare version - you can tell Capcom was a bit lazy in the porting process.

HOWEVER, Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney is still an epic game, and if you haven't played the DS version (or you no longer own it), you still should Definitely check it out.

Re: Even More Nintendo Titles Get The Axe

Rezarch

This is nothing new... Nintendo has been stopping productions of various games for time.

Electroplankton. Tetris DS. WarioWare Touched. Advance Wars: Dual Strike. Endless Ocean. Fire Emblem: Radiant Dawn.

I'm sure there's plenty more that fell off the radar that people probably don't even remember.

Re: Netflix Might Make It To Wii Yet

Rezarch

I doubt I'd use it. Also, it seems a little late to be starting this, doesn't it? If this had been available a couple of years ago, they might have snagged some money from me.

Re: Nintendo Download: 11 January 2010 (North America)

Rezarch

Already own Phoenix Wright on the DS, but I will buy it again. And I disagree on the replay value - true that you won't replay it again immediately after finishing, but Phoenix Wright is more like a good book - and good books in my home are often read more than once.

And to comment on the DSiWare - my last download was Pop+ back in August, and beyond Dark Void Zero, I don't see anything else that really interests me.

Re: Talking Point: Are Rereleases Killing the Retro Market?

Rezarch

If I were a collector, this would be very irritating. However, since I'm a gamer, I think the re-releases are great. Chrono Trigger on the DS was my first time playing it, despite being a SNES owner since it was first released. CT was just too expensive for me to give it a shot.

I picked up Symphony of the Night last year too for the PSOne in very minty condition for just over $20. This would never have been possible at that price unless it had been re-released elsewhere.

I think there's still value and prestige in owning the original cartridges/disks though - I know I still treasure the ones I have.

Re: Nintendo Preloading DSi's For Black Friday

Rezarch

@chunky - the day after Thanksgiving is Black Friday, in which rabid consumers wake up far too early to get "deals" on their purchases that are only available to the insane. It's the beginning of the "holiday shopping season".
