I'm still going in with low expectations. There's always a chance it will wind up like Frogger Returns, Rainbow Islands Towering Adventure, and countless other failed attempts to revive classic arcade games this generation. As a fan of Burger Time, I hope they can do the series justice.
2 10/10s!? As if the wait for this game couldn't get any more excruciating! I'm definitely heading down to Gamestop this Sunday as soon as my graduation party is over!
Amazingly enough, the fake versions were actually a lot better looking than the real thing. The bastard child of Cyndaquil and Treeko, a fire pig, and some kind of otter/beaver/snowman thing? No thanks. The fire pig causes the least pain to my eyes, so I'll probably pick that one.
Unless they create a Shuckle evolution, I'm probably gonna skip this gen altogether...
Oh my god, Sega made something decent for once! And it's not even developed by Platinum Games, Dimps, or Creative Assembly! Still not entirely sure whether or not it's worth buying though. Will give the 360 version a rent.
Alright! Sounds like we're finally getting a character that's useful. Protoman hurt a lot more than he helped IMO. I never felt the need to use his slide and charge beam much, and his increased knockback distance and lower defense made the game much harder than it should've been.
I used to have Super Zaxxon on the Genesis Collection for PSP, and I DETESTED it! Your ship moves way too slowly, and the isometric viewpoint made slipping under force fields impossible! Worst shmup I've ever played in my life, by far.
I think I'll pass on this one after all. I was really excited for it cuz of Burger Time, but the other games seem like a waste. I guess I'll just play Burger Time and Magical Drop on MAME...
I really wanted the play this game back when it was on Dreamcast, but since I never had one of those I decided to wait for this version. Sadly, despite looking EVERYWHERE for it back when it first came out, I could never find it. In fact I STILL can't find it! Looks like another game I'm gonna have to resort to Ebay or Amazon for.
I usure hope Sutte Hakuun's release here means it has a shot at the American VC. I've wanted to play that one ever since I read Corbie's review from way back when.
I always assumed this game was just another piece of shovelware, but I'm definitely will consider it now if I can find it cheap. I loved Pipe Dream and the computer I played it on kicked the bucket ages ago.
@Kelvin. Totally agree with you about the Spring Suit. Without a doubt the worst suit in Mario history. I lost count of how many times I would randomly bounce against a wall and plummet to my death. I pray they also get rid of the Ray of certain doom as well.
This game just keeps looking better and better! Thankfully there's a few 360 games I still need to buy that'll tide me over for 4 months.

Re: Review: BIT.TRIP FLUX (WiiWare)
I have yet to play a single Bit. Trip game. Perhaps I'll start with this one.

Guess it was a good thing I waited until last week to download this.
Re: Prove Your Sin and Punishment 2 Skills in New Official Competition

Re: Nintendo Download: 13 September 2010 (North America)
No VC and another pointless, crappy Wiiware release. So what else is new?
Re: Review: Super Smash Bros. Melee (GameCube)
"Better than Brawl?"
YES.

I'm good with just playing games off my SD card...

Never heard of Ufouria, but it looks pretty fun.

"It's called the Bible! Ever heard of it?"
Please tell me you're being sarcastic.
Re: Gawp at these First Ever Screenshots of Sonic the Hedgehog
Looks pretty much the same to me, except a lot more washed out.
Re: Review: Hero of Sparta (DSiWare)
Yet another masterpiece from Gameloft. I wonder if WaltzElf accidentally bought this one.
Re: Nintendo Download: 8th & 9th June 2010 (Japan)
Fighter's History? You mean that cheap Street Fighter II knockoff?
Re: First Sonic Colours Details Emerge
The Sonic cycle is in full force yet again.
Re: Rare Confirms It is Not Working on Activision's Rumoured GoldenEye Game
Should we be surprised?
Re: Review: Art Style: Penta Tentacles (WiiWare)
Huzzah! Art Style isn't dead yet on Wiiware!
I'll definitely get this once it reaches NA.
Re: Sonic Colours to Brighten Up DS and Wii
So the disappointment starts late 2010? lol
Re: Mario Jumps Over Flag, Ends Arguments Forever
This has been proven for while now, but whatever...
Re: Catch Pokemon Black and White in North America Next Spring
Two Palkia ripoffs. Joy.
Still waiting for that Shuckle evolution...

Re: Nintendo Profits Fall for the First Time Since 2004
Their money-printing Wiis and DSs must've jammed.
Re: Review: The King of Fighters '95 (Virtual Console / Neo Geo)
@jumpmad. Because they aren't the same game in any way but the genre?
Won't be getting this one. &udging by the review, it seems to embody everything I hate about fighting games.
Re: Fancy Playing Super Mario Bros. With Other Nintendo Characters? Now You Can
'Bout time this happened.
Re: Dedicated Castlevania Fan Beats NES Version With Dance Mat
Now let's see him beat Ninja Gaiden with it!
Re: Review: Game & Watch Helmet (DSiWare)
Bah, this is one of my favorite Game & Watch games!
Re: Review: Seiken Densetsu 3 (Super Nintendo)
Looks pretty good. But given how much I hated the other Mana games (besides Final Fantasy Adventure), I have afeeling this one won't change my mind.
Re: Nintendo Download: 16 & 17 March 2010 (Japan)
That racing game reminds me a bit of ChoroQ...
Re: Review: Calling (Wii)
Heh, I knew it would be Ju-On all over again as soon as it was announced.
@Egg Meister. You're calling an RE game "kiddy"? Are you $h!tting me!?
Re: Nintendo Download: 12th March 2010 (Europe)
Look at the bright side, guys. Ironclad is still pretty good.
I for one don't give two sh*ts about when we get Rondo of Blood. I'd rather have Ironclad. I can play Rondo on my PSP.
Re: Want Kid Icarus? Hey, Just Ask
Pikmin 3
F-Zero
Starfox
Kid Icarus
Bring them on, Nintendo. BRING THEM ONNN!!!
Re: Review: Sonic & SEGA All-Stars Racing (Wii)
Oh my god, Sega made something decent for once! And it's not even developed by Platinum Games, Dimps, or Creative Assembly! Still not entirely sure whether or not it's worth buying though. Will give the 360 version a rent.
Re: Interviews: Dreambox Games - Robox
Looks good. Looks very similar to ABahB, but that's a good thing.
Re: Bass Coming to Mega Man 10
Alright! Sounds like we're finally getting a character that's useful. Protoman hurt a lot more than he helped IMO. I never felt the need to use his slide and charge beam much, and his increased knockback distance and lower defense made the game much harder than it should've been.
Re: Nintendo Download: 9th & 10th March 2010 (Japan)
We got Mega Man 10 first! Take that, Japan!

Re: Review: Princess Tomato in the Salad Kingdom (Virtual Console / NES)
As much as I love Hudson, this doesn't look like my cup of tea...
Re: Boom Blox Team Lose Some Bricks
That's too bad. I haven't gotten around to getting Bash Party yet, so I feel like I contributed to this.
Re: Nintendo Download: 5th March 2010 (Europe)
Aye, good week for you guys.
Re: Review: Data East Arcade Classics (Wii)
I think I'll pass on this one after all. I was really excited for it cuz of Burger Time, but the other games seem like a waste. I guess I'll just play Burger Time and Magical Drop on MAME...
Re: Nintendo Download 1st March 2010 (North America)
EDIT: Ah screw it. This joke isn't gonna work if I can't embed the video.
I'll obviously be getting MM10, but nothing else this week really sticks out for me.
Re: Review: ChuChu Rocket! (Game Boy Advance)
Finally! The GBA reviews have started!
I really wanted the play this game back when it was on Dreamcast, but since I never had one of those I decided to wait for this version. Sadly, despite looking EVERYWHERE for it back when it first came out, I could never find it. In fact I STILL can't find it!
Looks like another game I'm gonna have to resort to Ebay or Amazon for.
Re: WiiWare Leads Indie Awards Category
I'm surprised Wiiware even had this many nominations tbh. Nyxquest is probably the only one in there that has a snowball's chance.
Re: Review: Mouse House (WiiWare)
Looks like Bomberman.
Re: Nintendo Download: 2nd & 3rd March 2010 (Japan)
I usure hope Sutte Hakuun's release here means it has a shot at the American VC. I've wanted to play that one ever since I read Corbie's review from way back when.
Re: Review: Pipe Mania (DS)
I always assumed this game was just another piece of shovelware, but I'm definitely will consider it now if I can find it cheap. I loved Pipe Dream and the computer I played it on kicked the bucket ages ago.
Re: Trailer: Sin and Punishment 2 + Screenshots
IT's official: 2010 will be the greatest year for Wii ever.

Re: Review: Super Monkey Ball Step & Roll (Wii)
Yep, just what I thought. Another Banana Blitz. Oh well, at least it's somewhat better than BB. God, I wish I never sold the first 2 games.
Re: Trailer: Super Mario Galaxy 2 + Screenshots
And to think there's people who think this game won't be worth it. This is going to be a long 3 months for sure.
Re: Cave Story Coming March 22nd
FINALLY!!!
