Even though I love Star Wars, I'm not interested, especially with all this talk about it having insane difficulty. I'll just wait for Zombies Ate My Neighbors.
I haven't bought a single issue of RG since the one with the VC-R interview (though I've been meaning to order the history of star wars and Konami ones on back issue), so it looks like it's about time to head over to Barnes & Noble and get a new one.
If this only got a 7, what would you consider to be the best FFL, Corbs? A guy on Backloggery was telling mw about the series, and I've always been interested in trying it.
Whenever an employee of a company makes fun of something Wii related (the system itself, the fanbase), a bunch of people flame them on the web, and they're all "Oh no we were just kidding Hahahahaha!"
I hope Namco picks up the pace with NA VCA soon. They have practically their entire Arcade history on the Japanese VC already, and we don't even have their best games! Just Druaga, Mappy, and Gaplus. Bleccch!
I think Dark Lord should be #1, and 5 spots shouldn't be on the list at all, but other than that I'm OK with this list. It's a relief not to see the "big 3"... Not be the big 3 anymore.
Finally! I've wanted to try a 2D Worms game ever since I played that trainwreck Forts: Open Seige. Looks like I won't need to track down the PSP games after all!
I just hope it has online Multiplayer. Can't have a Worms game without online.
Digiki, from your comment it sounds like you only got 20 stars. You wouldn't think Galaxy was so easy if you tried any of the prankster comets! >=)
And Missingno, I've beaten the game with 150 lives (GBA version lol), and I still felt satisfied cuz I played a well-designed, creative game. Plus, I'm the kind of guy that prefers not to have excessive challenge in his games. And if you're looking for a challenge, try the secret/extra levels. They offer plenty of challenge.
I don't mind. There's far more games coming out later this year for Wii that I'm more interested in, and the extra development time will pay off in the long run.
Well the only game here that interests me in the slightest is Tales of Monkey Island, which I'm not getting cuz A. I DLed MI: SE the other day off Steam and have yet to start it, and B. I'm against episodic games. I wonder if Three Musketeers is any good?
@Missingno. Well duh, of course Super Mario Galaxy is better. It's on far better technology, so the developers were able to tweak the level design and soundtrack much further than anything on a SNES. And besides a few levels (Luigi purple coin challenge comes to mind), Galaxy is just about as easy as YI was.
Your argument about how a game sucks because it's too easy is ridiculous. You're telling me that you can't appreciate a well-designed, creative game just because it's low in difficulty?
If you asked me, Yoshi's Island is one of the best Mario games, with great level design, creative bosses, and an irresistably charming art style. Even with Baby Mario's obnoxious crying and the easy difficulty, it still deserves that 10.
This sucks. I wouldn't mind having no VC games this week if the Wiiware games were decent, but besides Dark Lord, they blow chunks. Oh well, at least DSi owners got another Art Style to enjoy.
And I just remembered, I still have to finish that crapload of VC games I downloaded recently.
@Spencer. Earthbound 64 doesn't exist. Development for it on N64 was canned and it was moved to GBA, where it became Mother 3. That's not likely to be released either, since Nintendo hates American Earthbound fans with a passion and all...

Re: Review: Hybrid Heaven (Nintendo 64)
Well this is one game I'm NOT buying when I get my N64.
Re: Top 20 WiiWare Games in USA (12th Aug)
@Super Sonic. Sexy Poker was made by Gameloft...
Glad to see Nyxquest finally make it to the charts. That game deserves to be in the top 5. And seeing Sexy Poker at #6 is just sad.

Re: Last Chance To Cash In On Those US Club Nintendo Rewards
I don't think I'll be able to add all my games in time.
Re: LucasArts Bringing Classic Games to Virtual Console
alright! This makes us one step closer to getting Disney on VC!
Re: Nintendo Download: Kindred Spirits, Rock N' Roll, Star Wars and Different Art (US)
Icarian AND a licensed game!? It can't get much better than this!

Re: Revenge of Shinobi - Spidey goes pink!
I thought he was supposed to be orange and green? Frankly I would've much preferred that.
Re: Nintendo Download: Mechas, Sexy Poker, Football and Art (US)
I bet P. DANGER wouldn't have nearly as many people chewing out his ass if he were talking about PSN...
Re: Review: Virtual Bowling (Virtual Boy)
What about Nester's Funky Bowling?
Re: Review: Sexy Poker (WiiWare)
Wow. This game was so bad that the company that made it had to lie about it!
Re: Nintendo Download: Mechas, Sexy Poker, Football and Art (US)
Why aren't the forums working today?
Re: Rage of the Gladiator Coming to WiiWare
Sooo... It's the lovechild of Punch-Out!! and God of War?
Re: Nintendo Download: Mechas, Sexy Poker, Football and Art (US)
Y'see? VC isn't dead people! The end of the world is not nigh!
Though I wish Tecmo released Bombjack or something instead. Y'know, a game we don't already have a superior version of. But oh well...
Will probably get Overturn, if I don't decide to spend my current 1000 on Darklord.
Re: First Video of myNotebook
You've unlocked.... Papyrus!
YESSSSS!
Re: Review: Final Fantasy Legend III (Game Boy)
<Insert Corbie 7 joke here>
If this only got a 7, what would you consider to be the best FFL, Corbs? A guy on Backloggery was telling mw about the series, and I've always been interested in trying it.
Re: Overturn: Mecha Wars Coming to WiiWare on Monday
Yes, finally it's arriving to the states! Will have to check this one out for sure!
Re: Review: Castlevania II: Belmont's Revenge (Game Boy)
I ought to go look for this one.
Re: Telltale Games: 'Wii Audience Is Perfect For Us"
These always make me laugh...

Classy...
Re: Brand New Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story Gameplay Videos
I cannot wait for this. The two Mario & Luigis are two of my favorite RPGs of all time!
Re: Nintendo Download 04-05 August 2009 (JAPAN)
Good lawd that's a lotta games!
Re: Scrapped House of the Dead: Overkill Artwork Surfaces
I like the second one too. And I've noticed that all three boxes have a Wi-Fi icon on them. Does that mean the game was gonna be online?
Re: Japanese Virtual Console list - August 2009
They get Pengo!? Curses!!
I hope Namco picks up the pace with NA VCA soon. They have practically their entire Arcade history on the Japanese VC already, and we don't even have their best games! Just Druaga, Mappy, and Gaplus. Bleccch!
Re: Game Boy 20th Anniversary Special
Happy Birthday Gameboy, one of my favorite systems and one that consumed most of my childhood!
Cheers!

Re: iPhone more powerful than Wii?
Games don't lag on Wii if you make them right.
Oh, and lol at the Stephen Colbert pic!
Re: Top 20 DSiWare Games in USA (30th July)

Re: Nintendo DSi Hits 100,000 Units in Australia
Crikey!
Re: Upload Your DSi Photos Directly to Facebook
A Facebook app is cool, I guess. Too bad I barely use mine.
Re: Top 20 WiiWare Games in USA (29th July)
@Tony. Don't forget to put Pokemon in it!
I think Dark Lord should be #1, and 5 spots shouldn't be on the list at all, but other than that I'm OK with this list. It's a relief not to see the "big 3"... Not be the big 3 anymore.
Re: Worms Coming to WiiWare and Possibly DSiWare
Finally! I've wanted to try a 2D Worms game ever since I played that trainwreck Forts: Open Seige. Looks like I won't need to track down the PSP games after all!
I just hope it has online Multiplayer. Can't have a Worms game without online.

Re: What Neo Geo games do you want to see on the Virtual Console?
Neo Mr. Do! Looks fun too, but I probably wouldn't buy it if it ever appeared on VC due to my fear of clowns.
Re: What Neo Geo games do you want to see on the Virtual Console?
@Mickeymac. Jeez man. Spent a lot of time experimenting with those ROMs, eh?
My list:
Blazing Star
Bust a Move
Magical Drop
Metal Slug X
NAM 1975
Pulstar
Shock Troopers
Super Dodgeball
That is all.
Re: Review: Battle Poker (WiiWare)
That's got to be the cheesiest tagline I've ever seen.
Re: Red Steel 2 Delayed Until 2010
I don't mind. There's far more games coming out later this year for Wii that I'm more interested in, and the extra development time will pay off in the long run.
Re: Scribblenauts GameStop Preorder Bonus For The Birds
Whoever wears that deserves a wedgie of epic proportions.
Re: Nintendo Download: Monkeys, Musketeers, Cards and Sudoku (US)
Well the only game here that interests me in the slightest is Tales of Monkey Island, which I'm not getting cuz A. I DLed MI: SE the other day off Steam and have yet to start it, and B. I'm against episodic games. I wonder if Three Musketeers is any good?
@BlackDragon. Agreed.
Re: Review: 3D Tetris (Virtual Boy)
It would be interesting to see someone bring back this idea for download services or handhelds.
Re: Nintendo Download: 28-29 July 2009 (Japan)
Japan gets arcade Ninja Gaiden and a SECOND version of Phelios, and we get.... The Three Musketeers.
**SIGH**
Re: Sega Releases Super Monkey Ball Step & Roll Trailer
I sure hope this one's better than Banana Blitz.

Re: La-Mulana Coming to WiiWare
@Bahamut. I just want to pinch it's cheeks!
Looks like a mix between Zelda and both styles of Castlevania. Do want!
So there's a PC version of this?
Re: Review: Rampage (NES)
The arcade original is alright, but World Tour is definitely the best of the series. We need a review for that.
Re: Review: Hysteria Hospital: Emergency Ward (Wii)
@Pixelman. Don't forget De Blob, Madworld, HotD: Overkill, and Klonoa. Man, those games blow!

Re: Nintendo Download: Art, Cards and Crystals Have Gamers Seeing Spots (US)

Mmm-hmm, I expected this score. Definitely giving this one a rent first.
