I had little interest in this game, but that trailer in 3D made this a must buy. The use of 3D is just perfect and that's why I want more "2D games in 3D" for 3DS.
For the first time ever I regret buying my 3DS. Okay, I don't, but I seriously want this. I'll probably buy one if I can transfer my eShop purchases by then...
Gaming droughts. Affecting people who have played every game on every system.
I was really hoping for Megaman or Adventure Island, but I won't cry because I didn't get what I wanted. Nintendo doesn't get my money this week, that's way more effective than whining on gaming sites.
Guys, Nintendo is using a GB emulator for this. Adding the SGB feature would need a SNES emulator, and it seems like Nintendo is not planning to do one of those anytime soon. I'm perfectly okay with that, and I'm having a blast with the game.
This guy blackmailing Nintendo is not speculation, he actually did it. His first mail was "I found this security hole, fix it please. I should report you to the authorities, but I like your products so let's see if we can negotiate before I do that". The website was faulty, that's not Nintendo's fault since they didn't designed it, it's 8media who should be blamed.
@SkullMan: I was thinking about that too, apparently it can be fixed with homebrew. Nintendo should release a free channel that boots the game while fixing the bug, and once your save file is fixed, you could simply uninstall the channel.
How are they even competing? I've never considered getting an Apple console... because they don't make consoles. Their devices can play games? Hey, that's nice. I own an iPod Touch with zero games on it, because I own a DS.
Seriously, I want a DSi only so I can play Dark Void Zero, but I'm not getting one now that the 3DS is coming. I just hope 3DS supports DSiWare, it doesn't have a reason not to.
I personally don't think it's going to be much more powerful than the current DS, especially if 3D is the selling point. I don't care as long as it has awesome games, I want Mario Kart 3DS for launch >_>
Let's take a look at the N64 and GCN top 10 best selling games:
N64: Super Mario 64 Mario Kart 64 GoldenEye 007 The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time Super Smash Bros. Diddy Kong Racing Pokémon Stadium Donkey Kong 64 The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask Star Fox 64
GameCube: Super Smash Bros. Melee Mario Kart: Double Dash!! Super Mario Sunshine The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker Luigi's Mansion Animal Crossing Mario Party 4 Metroid Prime Mario Party 7 Pokémon Colosseum
Can you guys stop acting like this is big news? Nintendo fan like Nintendo games, it's been mostly like that since the N64 was launched 14 years ago.
Wait, you mean 3rd party games don't sell well on Nintendo consoles? Welcome to 1996. Also, Resident Evil 4 and Okami did pretty well on Wii, even if they were ports (and even if you could play the GCN version of RE4 on your Wii). Why? Because they're not dumbed-down-on-rails-bad-versions of other games.
Button-mashing hell, that pretty much describes this game. You can beat the game with some characters by repeteadly pressing B. The balance is non-existent, it lacks depth, and even if the finishers are cool, they are one of the worst aspects of the games; they are really easy to perform and take practically half of the player's health.
The visuals and sound are actually pretty good, and the controls are not awful (I'm using a GameCube controller, I can't imagine myself waggling non-stop with this game). I'd recommend it to Castlevania fans only.
I agree, those sport titles are the same games over and over again. Still, that's kind of sad since EA actually tried something different for Wii instead of a PS2 port.
I love SFIV, having a Wii version would be pretty awesome. If somehow this happens, and somehow we also get some kind of Tekken game, I'd have no reason to play PS3 anymore... except for Ratchet.
The concept is funny, it would have worked for a NES/SNES game with the wacky characters and stadiums ^^ I could ignore the ridiculous name, but I don't like the sport at all.

Re: Talking Point: What New Super Mario Bros. 2 Means for 3DS and Nintendo
^ They kind of can, both NSMB games have sold around 25 million copies. Those numbers speak louder to Nintendo.
Re: Nintendo Download: 16th February 2012 (North America)
Please, please, let the Rayman Origins demo be released next week. Along with either Kirby's Block Ball or Wario Land.
Re: Review: Mario & Sonic at the London 2012 Olympic Games (3DS)
I honestly, honestly wish they would stop making these games. They're pretty much the lowest possible tier of Mario spin-offs.
Re: Welcome to the New Look Nintendo Life!
I like it, we were getting way too many sub-categories at the top of the page. Also, look at how happy Peach looks in my avatar.
Re: Mutant Mudds 3DS eShop Trailer Released
I had little interest in this game, but that trailer in 3D made this a must buy. The use of 3D is just perfect and that's why I want more "2D games in 3D" for 3DS.
Re: New Mutant Mudds Trailer Released
This is super shallow to say because the game looks amazing, but I don't like the main character and it's making me doubt if I'll buy it.
Re: Nintendo Download: 10th November 2011 (North America)
Okay, we get a new IP from Nintendo this week that is apparently a very fun and creative game, and people are saying this week sucks.
New IP.
By Nintendo.
This week sucks. Wow.
Re: Nintendo Japan Unveils Ice White 3DS Console
Oh man, oh man. OH MAN.
For the first time ever I regret buying my 3DS. Okay, I don't, but I seriously want this. I'll probably buy one if I can transfer my eShop purchases by then...
Re: The 3DS Will Come in Pink, Too
It actually doesn't look that bad. But still:
Blue > Red > Black > Pink.
I got blue of course.
Re: La-Mulana DLC Announced
Oh please come out already.

Re: Review: 3D Pixel Racing (WiiWare)
Oh man, that sucks. I really wanted this to be good. To be honest the fact that it uses only tilt-controls is enough to make me not buy it.
Re: 3D Pixel Racing
Waiting for reviews, hoping it's good.
Re: Review: Donkey Kong (Game Boy)
Guys, Nintendo is using a GB emulator for this. Adding the SGB feature would need a SNES emulator, and it seems like Nintendo is not planning to do one of those anytime soon. I'm perfectly okay with that, and I'm having a blast with the game.

Re: The Nintendo Era is Over, Tweets Former Final Fantasy Scribe
How are they even competing? I've never considered getting an Apple console... because they don't make consoles. Their devices can play games? Hey, that's nice. I own an iPod Touch with zero games on it, because I own a DS.
Re: Pokémon Black and White Starters are Disappointingly Ugly
I like the grass one.
Re: Oh Look, Tatsunoko vs. Capcom Sold Better Than Expected
See, Capcom? Street Fighter IV now, please.
Re: Wii Least Connected of U.S. Consoles
There are millions of Wii owners who got their Wii so they could play Wii Sports forever. Still, more than one half is not bad at all, I think.
Re: Nintendo Will Release 3DS in October
Seriously, I want a DSi only so I can play Dark Void Zero, but I'm not getting one now that the 3DS is coming. I just hope 3DS supports DSiWare, it doesn't have a reason not to.

Re: Want Kid Icarus? Hey, Just Ask
I liked the NES Kid Icarus, and loved the Gameboy one. I'd buy Kid Icarus Wii.
Re: Mario & Sonic & SEGA All-Stars Racing Almost Considered a Possibility
I really DON'T like Sonic and Mario being in the same game, other than Brawl.

Re: Review: Pokémon Rumble (WiiWare)
The demo is really good, I may get this. Poor Rattata, it's one of my favorite Pokémon >_<
Re: Call of Duty Comparison Shots Don't Do The Wii Any Favours
That's one fugly game. Seriously, that would be a bad looking GameCube game.
Re: No More Heroes 2 Gets A Control Shake-Up
Traditional controls are still better than motion controls, I'm glad this will support CC.
Re: Wii Version of Madden NFL 10 Selling Poorly
I agree, those sport titles are the same games over and over again. Still, that's kind of sad since EA actually tried something different for Wii instead of a PS2 port.
Re: Bonk Headbutts His Way Onto WiiWare
I love Bonk, I'm getting this ^^
Re: If the PS3 is an F1 Car, the Wii is a Go-Kart
Oh, come on. Go-karts are awesome ^^
Re: Nintendo Patents Inflatable Horseback Riding Peripheral
I'll pretend this doesn't exist.
Re: Epic Games: Give Us HD Wii and We'll Talk
How about Jill of The Jungle for WiiWare? >_<
Re: Marvelous Sad Over Poor Sales
This is so bad, I love Marvelous T_T
Re: Capcom Not Ruling Out Wii Street Fighter IV
I love SFIV, having a Wii version would be pretty awesome. If somehow this happens, and somehow we also get some kind of Tekken game, I'd have no reason to play PS3 anymore... except for Ratchet.
Re: Sony Expects Wii Owners To Upgrade To PS3
Well, I'm getting one when Tekken 6 comes out >_<
Re: Mega Man Meets Super Paper Mario
WOW, that's fantastic O.O Really, I'd absolutely buy that.
Re: Introducing Sonic & SEGA All-Stars Racing
Ugh. At least there's no PS2 version, that means this won't be a port.
Re: Tecmo Announces Family Fun Football for Wii
The concept is funny, it would have worked for a NES/SNES game with the wacky characters and stadiums ^^ I could ignore the ridiculous name, but I don't like the sport at all.
Re: Tatsunoko Vs. Capcom Coming to US, Says Nintendo Power
Wow, I'll buy the American version too, this game is fantastic.
Re: Capcom Confirms Monster Hunter 3 Tri For Western Release
It is awesome ^^
Re: Nintendo 2009 Fiscal Year End Figures = Massive Win
I'm glad for Nintendo ^^ Can we have more games now?
Re: Marvel Vs. Capcom 2 in "Not Coming to Wii" Shocker
I was never a fan. There are going to be tons of Cable users online _
Re: New Arc Rise Fantasia gameplay video
This is from the creators of Luminous Arc? Instant buy.
Re: The Wii is in 8 Million Japanese Homes
Mario Kart Wii and Brawl are games. I'll ignore the fact that those 3 titles are the best selling T_T
Re: Nintendo’s Stock Drops 7.5%
They better do something about it. Like, releasing awesome first party games just like they did with N64 and GCN ^^
Re: Review: Samurai Shodown Anthology (Wii)
I've never been good at Samurai Shodown games, but I'd get it nonetheless ^^
