Come on, Commander Keen fans! The only way to get whoever has the rights to the other Keen games to release them is to show that there's a market for them. Everyone on board the Keen Dreams bandwagon!
@Firehawke This whole thing sounds like a job for Inti Creates. In fact, I'd like to see Capcom let those guys just remake the GB games. Not only would we get color, but they could make better versions of those games.
I guess I'm in the minority (based off some of the comments), but I'm always up for another Mega Man-inspired retro game. There's no such thing as too many of those.
@nkarafo Coming soon...Flawed Sunlight, the spiritual successor to Perfect Dark! Even though I'm kidding, I'd still buy that because of the potential upside. My friends and I still play Perfect Dark multiplayer.
A real shame. I still visit my local branch on a monthly basis (though apparently not for much longer). I feel for the employees there, as they've always been friendly and helpful to me.
At last, the Definitive Edition of Hyrule Warriors! I thoroughly enjoyed the Wii U version, but didn't get to experience the 3DS version and it's extras. I had a feeling this kind of re-release was just a matter of time, so I've been waiting for this. Time to get my double dip on!
The demo won me over, so I had to get the full version. I want the pleasure of getting to finally put Dark Lord Flanders in his place. Extra emotional bonus: being able to team up with Iwata-san for one more epic adventure. Though the man may be gone, his mii will live forever.
We need more love for Ryu Hayabusa. Ninja Gaiden is one of the top 10 greatest NES games of all time. Not to mention that Ninty has a good working relationship with Koei Tecmo right now.
Wow... to paraphrase Calculon from Futurama, that video was so terrible I think it gave me cancer. There are so many things wrong that I don't even know where to start. I hate Capcom so much right now.
The Costume Quest games will always be the #1 Halloween games for me. Every Halloween that comes and goes without Costume Quest 3 I die a little inside.
I like the Wii U version enough that I'd probably double dip for this, but I have another concern. The hours and hours of gameplay on the Wii U version caused the left analog stick and one of the right shoulder buttons on my Classic Controller Pro to wear out so badly I had to replace it. I can't so easily replace my New 3DS. I fear this game will put too much wear and tear on my system. That's why I'm holding out hope for DLC on the Wii U.
Smash DLC for me! As for Alphadia, IIRC it's the first game in the series. Alphadia Genesis was a prequel, the third game in the series. Please hurry on the FreezeME review. It sounds promising, but I need your review before I decide whether to buy or not.
Sounds like this might be the last nail in the coffin for my, admittedly, slim hopes of seeing Castlevania 64 on the VC. For those who don't know, a controller pak is required to save the game. Guess it's a good thing I still have my N64, cartridge, and controller pak.
This game is the reason why I voted for Ryu Hayabusa on the Smash Ballot. Can't count the hours of my youth I poured into this. Out of the NES trilogy, it's definitely my favorite. When I first played Ninja Gaiden Sigma, all I could think was "I wish Ryu could still cling to walls". Wall-running just isn't the same.
Maybe it's because the new series just premiered, but I'd like to see "Ash vs. Evil Dead", Warriors-style. Fire up your chainsaw-hand and cut a path through hordes of deadites. I guess a man can dream...
I actually like the Mega Man series. The problems it had were the same as most 80's/90's cartoons, namely simplistic writing with plots that have more holes than Swiss cheese. Cartoon writers of that era tended to treat the target audience as if they were idiots. Just like Transformers has bounced back with more serious writing, Mega Man is ready for an animated comeback.
Too bad the Zelda demo is only multiplayer. If I had an opportunity to try it out solo hands-on, I might be convinced to pick it up at some point. Not buying without a test drive, though.
All I can think about when I watch BTTF2 is, "It's 2015, so where the heck is my Pizza Hydrator?!". Anyone who says that's not the coolest piece of "future" tech in the movie is either deluded or lying.
I live five minutes from a Toys R Us, but can empathize with those who don't have easy access to one. My home doesn't have a Target, so every exclusive they get becomes a headache for me. Amiibo are already region-free, they should also be exclusive-free.
An awesome game to be sure, but whenever I think back to it all I can remember is Captain Falcon not being able to use the Home Run Bat properly. Since Cappy is my main, that was incredibly frustrating.
I pre-ordered one from Amazon UK a couple of hours ago. Surprisingly, they're shipping them to the US. With the conversion rate, it's about $28.00. I figure that since Amazon doesn't charge until shipping, I can cancel the order if/when I can order from a US retailer.
I've been hoping for a while to see Wart and his minions come back looking for revenge. Nintendo should give Bowser a vacation, and let them take a shot at Mario.
Forget Assassin's Creed III. Just pop in a copy of "The Patriot". Nothing says "independence" like Mel Gibson taking out a stereotypical evil British colonel, and using the American flag as a spear.
I wish everyone else good luck in hunting this down at your local Best Buy. I'll continue admiring my imported Dark Pit and Palutena. It's worth the extra cost to avoid headaches and enjoy them early.
Sweet! This means there's still a chance for Ryu Hayabusa. Ninja Gaiden is a true masterpiece of old-school, NES-hard gameplay. Plus, Nintendo and Team Ninja seem to be on good terms lately...

@LavaTwilight
I believe you're thinking of Donkey Konga.
Re: Review: Azure Saga: Pathfinder Deluxe Edition - A Largely Forgettable JRPG Romp
Sounds good enough for me. There isn't that much more new and innovative that can be done with JRPGs. As a fan, I've accepted that.
Re: Nintendo Download: 21st March (North America)
Azure Saga for me this week. Blaster Master Zero 2 eventually (still gotta finish the first one).
Re: Cuphead Physical Release Confirmed For Nintendo Switch
So that's what it would look like if Disney made a shooter? Somehow, it's both beautiful and deeply disturbing.
Re: Nintendo Download: 7th March (North America)
Think I'll try Braveland Trilogy. I've yet to meet a turn-based RPG I didn't like.

Re: Switch Tactical Epic WarGroove Marches Into Battle Next Week
I just need one burning question answered: Is the dog a playable character?
Re: Review: YIIK: A Postmodern RPG - EarthBound For A New Generation
Huckleberry?
Re: Rumour: The Next Super Smash Bros. Ultimate DLC Fighter Has Been Datamined
I'm still holding out for Ryu Hayabusa. How can Ninja Gaiden not have any representation? It's just criminal.
Re: The Messenger Is Embarking On A Sunny Holiday In 2019
Nice! There's nothing I like more than getting free stuff.
Re: Nintendo Download: 22nd November (North America)
No new releases, but I think I'll grab The Messenger on sale.
Re: Video: Take A Look At Square Enix's Trailers From The 2018 Tokyo Game Show
I really want to get Crystal Chronicles, but I NEED couch co-op or it's no sale. That was what made the original experience fun for me.

Re: Venture Kid Is Coming To Nintendo Switch, And It's A Console Exclusive

Re: Billy Mitchell Breaks His Silence To Address Accusations Of Cheating
@MagicEmperor
Your comment gives me an idea. Just get out the VHS of King of Kong 2, then we can fast forward and see the final verdict.
Re: Looks Like Playtonic Is Ready To Reveal Its Next Game
@nkarafo
Coming soon...Flawed Sunlight, the spiritual successor to Perfect Dark! Even though I'm kidding, I'd still buy that because of the potential upside. My friends and I still play Perfect Dark multiplayer.
Re: Mega Man X Legacy Collection 1 And 2 Confirmed For Switch
Excellent news! Now, there's the matter of Command Mission...
Re: Toys R Us Is Closing All Of Its US And UK Stores

Re: Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze And Hyrule Warriors Are Coming To Switch

Re: The Mummy Demastered Comes Out on 24th October
So... does this mean that Controidvania is now a thing? Because I can totally get behind that.
Re: Review: Miitopia (3DS)
The demo won me over, so I had to get the full version. I want the pleasure of getting to finally put Dark Lord Flanders in his place. Extra emotional bonus: being able to team up with Iwata-san for one more epic adventure. Though the man may be gone, his mii will live forever.
Re: Feature: The (Sadly Fictional) Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo Switch Fighter Ballot - Results!

Re: Random: Take Legend Of Zelda, Add Some Gundam And You've Got Plenty Of Awesome
Zelda and Gundam is awesome, but a little too far. Combine Zelda with Escaflowne, and now you've really got something...
Re: Breath of the Wild's Art Director on Why Link's Classic Hat is Missing
As long as the iconic tunic and hat are available as an option, I'm satisfied. Time for me to scan some amiibo! I want that hat now!

Re: New Legend of Zelda amiibo Are Coming In December
The stress of this announcement just made my wallet explode. Time to clear some shelf space.

Re: Talking Point: The Latest Nintendo Direct Was a Bright Return to the Limelight
With all the delightful coming releases from this Direct, it appears I should just go ahead and give Nintendo my wallet right now.
Re: Gold Mega Man amiibo Launching Alongside Mega Man Legacy Collection On 3DS
I will gladly crawl over all of your bloody corpses to get a Golden Mega Man.
Re: Koei Tecmo is Planning Another Major Collaboration With a Western IP

Re: Gallery: Details, Screens and Video for This Week's Super Smash Bros. DLC
At last! Now I can brawl with Toad! I'm going to get an extra Toad amiibo, then use it to customize my Mii Brawler amiibo.

Re: Super Smash Bros. Is Getting A Massive Update On July 31st
@abe_hikura Just give in and let the awesomeness of it wash over you. Resistance is futile.
Re: EVO Players Loved Hyperkin's New GameCube-Inspired ProCube Pad
I'm definitely interested. I'm always in the market for a good controller.
Re: Bloodstained: Ritual of the Night Will Be Bigger Than Your Average Castlevania-esque Romp
I think it would be more interesting to see a 90° rotated castle, as opposed to inverted.
Re: Poll: What Do You Want From Nintendo's NX Platform?
Since you said ask for anything, I want the controller to be a headset that allows me to control the games by thought.

Re: Nintendo Download: 2nd July (North America)
I love Final Fantasy Tactics, so I'll take a chance on Mercenaries Saga 2.

I wish everyone else good luck in hunting this down at your local Best Buy. I'll continue admiring my imported Dark Pit and Palutena. It's worth the extra cost to avoid headaches and enjoy them early.
Re: Masahiro Sakurai Confirms That Recent Super Smash Bros. DLC Additions Weren't From the Fan Ballot
Sweet! This means there's still a chance for Ryu Hayabusa. Ninja Gaiden is a true masterpiece of old-school, NES-hard gameplay. Plus, Nintendo and Team Ninja seem to be on good terms lately...
