Agree with the review. But nothing can change what it was back in the day, and nothing can change the impacts it made even if there are minuscule oopsies we see in it nowadays. All the weird whining about "There's a perfectly good remake for the GBA", which isn't on virtual console though? Convenience is key here. Also they're not the true originals. People are failing to accept those big reasons. It must have been because FR/LG came out too soon after the originals in the scheme of things because i was so bored with them. Ruby & Sapphire were much better on the GBA.
I've only rebought 2 VC games from Wii to WiiU. I'll only be getting Pilotwings & Mystical Ninja when they're available on New 3DS, which I have both on WiiU but they're my favorites. Otherwise I'm not going to rebuy anything.
This is much more exciting than porting Super Mario World to mobile jfc if this is what they meant by going mobile it'll be better than virtual console in the app store.
Does Nintendo get money when they win? Or are they just being trolled out of their money because they have to pay for lawyers and what not when this happens? No idea why people think they're going to win with this.
@smashbrolink Obviously the guy in the article didn't think about that LOL Battery drain and data charges. The illogical bashing of Nintendo when people see 1 race is 10mb of data without wifi Omg
I don't see 20 somethings going as a group saying "Lets watch the Minecraft movie!" the way it was with Jurassic Park. The only way this comparison makes sense is the Lego Jurassic Park game
Uh oh, oooooh lord, heeeere we go. More censorship and anger. Glad I only play Fire Emblem out of the two of these, I can't stand 2 censorship dramas in my communities, even if I didnt care about the Fates one
@Neko_Ichigofan LOL Im scared to admit that I think I beat you in terms of smaller living space, and I'm kinda poor too, but I've accumulated a decent amount thanks to my job with a store discount omg I don't recommend this at all. I need to go to rehab. But it's not a competition Booo faulty NFC. I'd say fix it, but it's probably an expensive fix. :/
@Neko_Ichigofan See you're just assuming that it means they're going to hide all this huge exclusive stuff behind one single amiibo and you need to collect 250 of them to get what you want. That'd be a terrible way to conduct business with them. Currently they only do small things, tidbits that don't mean anything for anyone but the one tapping the Amiibo. If they do what they're doing now only in a larger form its better. You don't need to buy them all now as it is? Why would that have to change? You have a large Smash line, or Mario Party line, or a handful for Splatoon, and then you only need 1 from each series, IF THAT, because they are universal, to make what I'm saying work. You buy 1 Mario and that's all you need. Not 20. Think if you tap say Link to Hyrule Warriors, it would unlock one DLC map, then maybe if you tap it to HW Legends, it will do the same once, maybe tapping it to Smash could unlock the buyable Zelda related stages. But if you didnt have the Amiibo, you'd have to pay for each of those things separately. If it did what I'm suggesting, you'd have to be really cheap to think paying for one figure that would unlock many DLC is too expensive. It would be hard to do though, they'd make hardly any money, they don't have bottomless coffers like Disney. Amiibo are probably stuck where they are for a while in the grand scheme of things.
@seb5049 Its kind of a slippery slope imo, I can see why people don't want DLC locked behind the Amiibo. But if they do it often, and do it with them a lot, then buying one figure, will "pay" for lots of future DLC for you instead of buying bits here and there. In case I'm not clear, I mean if you put lots of DLC behind tapping a Mario amiibo over various games, then it becomes more worth it than buying it all separate. Buuuuut the problem there is that it takes time to make this happen. If that's even something they've considered. They already kind of do this, but just with little goodies, not full blown (or even half blown?) dlc.
I really wish Pilotwings 64 would come to WiiU already. Resort is an awesome small version of it all, I've played it frequently. Even though I love this small series so much, it's a niche game. Not many people care. Nowadays it's even harder to do a full release of this series in the state it's in. PW Resort was bundled with the 3DS for a while so it was "free" which was better than paying $30 full retail for it.
I love the N64 controller for N64 games. Pretty much the same way I only really like GCN controllers for GCN, although it does work with me for any Smash game. But if it comes out decent this is the first retro remade controller that I'm ever going to be interested in. NES & SNES are things I didnt get to explore until about 10 years ago, so those special controllers mean nothing to me. Now if the WiiU-GCN fightpad had more uses then I'd be getting one of those immediately as well.
So glad I played the Wii version recently (before this was announced), even though they do a lot of comparing to the GCN version, all 3 look too similar in terms of graphics. HD looks the best, but not enough to warrant me to replay this so soon. Thankful I don't have to get in this drama or feel weird about it.
Obviously people didn't play the game and catch MissingNo back in the day if you think you'll catch it and put it in the PokeBank. It ruins parts of the game and then just turns into a Rhyhorn

They better do some sort of Amiibo thing for Sun & Moon. It doesn't have to be world shattering but some kind of inclusion would be nice.
