Re: The Pokémon Company Confirms Outstanding Lifetime Sales for the Franchise

Rumorlife

@Socar Get ready for it, CoD is actually ahead of GTA at 250mil give or take, so it's only 30 million units off Pokemon, so basically the next big couple of CoD games will probably make it go past. Even then, GTA right behind CoD in sales and it's only another 15 mil behind. The numbers are on a couple articles by googling top selling video game series of all time. Lol even wikipedia. GTA is probably unstoppable right now, but CoD feels old and like it could be succeeded someday by a new series?

Re: Feature: Breaking Down the My Nintendo Loyalty Economy

At any rate they better stop putting the same crap up as before over and over. There's enough WiiU & 3DS VC at this point to warrant other releases. Even the big titles with physical releases need to be cycled through faster or differently. They'll probably just do WiiU versions of the same exact Wii stuff they had before most of the time anyway.

Re: Zero Time Dilemma Launches on 28th June in North America and Europe

These game always made me think of the Saw movie series, even though it's not torturous in the same sense. If anyone's planning on getting this and is new I really recommend playing 999 & VLR first, you'll learn so much about what's going on. It'll probably be very valuable information with this game and have a bigger impact if you're aware of what's going on in old games.
yaaay so excited for the cutscenes to all be animated big time unlike the previous of talking heads, which worked but i like this better.

Re: Feature: Breaking Down the My Nintendo Loyalty Economy

So what? They trashed the free games they use to give away in CN for this? The upside are the discounts on the new bigger name stuff, but no free VC? Also half the stuff they're selling at a discount now is the same crap they've been pushing for 3-4 years omg. Other M is the only new listing and we all know how people feel about that game.

Re: Talking Point: The Popularity of Nintendo Selects, Updates and DLC Expansions Can Change How We Buy Games

Rumorlife

@JLPick Yep you're one of the few. Also Startropics and Starfy are so random and don't make sense why you're bringing those two up, they didn't exactly give up on Starfy, they've not had another game in the series since the worldwide release of the last game, and that was on the DS and since then we've had a hardware change to the 3DS, and there are plenty of games that don't get a new iteration every hardware update. StarTropics was released everywhere originally and still is released everywhere between the Wii & WiiU virtual console. Zoda's Revenge wasn't always hit with the best reviews anyway. It's not as if those games are inaccessible. The 4 Japanese Starfy games are very similar and if you look at basically any games series in Japan, they often release multiple similar games in consecutive years where they only ever give the west one version.

Re: Soapbox: It's too Early to Judge Paper Mario: Color Splash

Rumorlife

Yeah I agree, it's too early, but the forum on this website has already pushed it off and agrees it should be trashed, and everyone has prematurely moved on from this already based on the fact that we've seen 10 seconds of gameplay and everyone automatically just said "ITS STICKER STAR 2" and that killed most of the hype before anyone even found out what's going on.

Re: Zero Time Dilemma Aiming to Resolve All Series Mysteries and Tackle 'Extreme' Scenes

Is Mira our big boobie girl this time? A La Alice & Lotus? I'm really enjoying the artwork. They all look really good.
Anyone who's not played the first two, it might be really difficult to get into this, I bet they'll talk a lot about the previous games once you're deeper into it. I played it in order, 999 to VLR and in VLR they talked a lot about 999. Also 999 was a bit rough to find in the stores, I think they need to make it at least downloadable for the 3DS in DSiWare form or something so people can get at it.

Re: Review: World Driver Championship (N64)

Rumorlife

There should be something at the start of these articles blatantly explaining that the game has NOT come to the Virtual Console. Everytime you guys on this website do a random review of an old game, the comments always have a bunch of "WHICH VC DID THIS APPEAR ON?!?!" with no mention of it one way or another in the article most of the time, getting some in an uproar for no reason.

Re: Mario Kart TV Website Confirmed for Closure on 5th April

Rumorlife

I always knew it existed, but after literally an hour or two of looking at it, you've seen it all. How many times do you need to watch replays of the same type of crashes, people flying over the edge, or people just gliding past another player? The only thing that surprises me is how soon this is going away but if it's not being used then oh. MK8 is dying so fast, it's almost impossible to play with people who have 16k points like me online too, everyone's cheating or something by then and you just start to lose.

Re: Review: Pokémon Red and Blue (3DS / GB)

Rumorlife

They'll probably release FR/LG again someday with a few added bonuses like RBY and it'll be more expensive than this or the other GBA VC games and all the children will come forth and once again say they don't want it because it's too expensive.
