Yes! I like this game a lot, but the load times annoyed me to the point where I didn't want to play for very long at a time. Looks like that won't be an issue anymore!
Definitely gonna pick up SoR2 (way better than the first one) and Gunstar Heroes. Now I just need Vectorman 1+2, Decap-Attack, Beyond Oasis, and Kid Chameleon.
(bursts out laughing) .......Aaahhhhh, I'm sorry, but these are trying way too hard. The Great Fairy one is fine, and Chun Li just looks dorky, but Peach and Samus are very cute.
Peach is like, "Bazookas and trench-coats are manly, and if I become manly, that'll make me equal, right?"
Hey, "Non-sexy" Samus! Try wearing that bulky crap under your Power Suit! You look like you got downgraded to the local S.W.A.T. team.
I'm not trying to be rude, but this "de-feminization" really needs to stop. It's basically saying that women can only be strong if they stop looking like women, and that's incredibly demeaning.
@A01 You can disable voices, (EDIT: Turns out, you can't. Sorry!) and the motorbike is an optional power-up exclusive to one out of three playable characters.
"At first,..." seems to be the key phrase with this game. (Whether that's a good thing, a bad thing, or something else entirely, I'll let you be the judge)
I was holding out for this, knowing that SoR2 was way better than the first. I'd like it if they put out 3D Classics of Bonanza Bros., Golden Axe, Decap-Attack, Vectorman, Comix Zone, Gain Ground, Toejam & Earl, Kid Chameleon, and Beyond Oasis.
@Haiassai Yeah, I agree that it was actually disappointment on Gaming Historian's part rather than taking offense. Either way, I still feel like people are generally more sensitive about these kinds of things than they need to be, and we can largely blame our current white-guilt culture for that.
@thejfh1999 It doesn't even have to be a brand new one, it could be a port of one from last-gen for all I care. (Namco Museum: Virtual Arcade looks like a good one)
@BensonUii You're welcome! I've returned from my experiment and am glad to confirm that Shantae And The Pirate's Curse is perfectly playable without the gamepad.
@BensonUii I wouldn't think so. When I played the game in off-tv mode, I could access the inventory by pausing the game. I'll experiment with the pro controller and let you know for sure.
Guys, @PvtOttobot isn't hating on GBA. He's saying he didn't enjoy the games he happened to own for it back then. (to quote him, "I was like 8 with NO prior videogame knowledge, I just got a bad hand.")
Nice! I'll consider saving up for a t-shirt. I've already got the Zelda case; maybe I'll get the Mario/Pikmin one, too, since after Christmas I might possibly have enough games to warrant a second one. (I currently keep my extra games in my room and swap them out when I feel like playing them)

He really deserves a break, temporary or otherwise. If he leaves permanently, he'll certainly be leaving on a high note. That won't mean the end of Smash, I'm sure. It's too important a franchise for Nintendo to end just yet, and they'll find someone worthy of taking up the torch; whether they're someone from HAL, or from Namco, or some rookie prodigy we don't even know yet.
I love Zen Pnball 2, and I love South Park, so of course I'm getting this! @3DSFlo To be fair, the show DOES portray Satan in a negative light, as the rotten trickster that he is.

Re: Review: Yoshi Touch & Go (Wii U eShop / DS)
Seems like a decent launch title that showcases the DS's touchscreen abilities, but if I had to choose, I'd pick Yoshi's Island DS instead.
Re: Citizens of Earth Update Halves Wii U Load Times And Adds Retro Soundtrack
Yes! I like this game a lot, but the load times annoyed me to the point where I didn't want to play for very long at a time. Looks like that won't be an issue anymore!
Re: Nintendo Download: 16th April (North America)
I bought the Mii Plaza Thank-you bundle and so far am not regretting it.

@ActosGames Sounds wonderful!
Re: Streets Of Rage 2, Gunstar Heroes And Sonic The Hedgehog 2 Are Your Next Sega 3D Classics
Definitely gonna pick up SoR2 (way better than the first one) and Gunstar Heroes. Now I just need Vectorman 1+2, Decap-Attack, Beyond Oasis, and Kid Chameleon.
Re: Project X Zone 2 Crosses Over to the West For a Fall Release on Nintendo 3DS
I'll definitely pick this up within launch week, but I want to beat the first one before I start playing it.
Re: Nintendo Download: 9th April (North America)
I didn't want to believe it, but maybe 3DS Virtual Console really is dead after all?
Re: Natsume Has Eight Game Boy Advance Titles Prepped For The Wii U Virtual Console

Re: Code Name: S.T.E.A.M. Update Will Speed Up Enemy Turns, More Stock Of Marth amiibo Promised
I'm so glad this patch is encouraging more people to buy the game, because I think this game deserves to do well.
Re: Video: Something's a Bit Off About this New Trailer for The Great Ace Attorney
I could tell right away that it was Sherlock Hound.
Re: Gallery: These Artistic Recreations of Women Characters Set a Different Tone

Re: Interplay Is Remastering Cult SNES Brawler ClayFighter
I'd be most excited for the Clayfighter 63 1/3 remaster, 'cuz that one had Earthworm Jim!

Re: Review: Pac-Attack (Wii U eShop / Super Nintendo)
Well, this one is capable of 2-player play while the Pac-Man Collection one isn't, so there's that.
Re: Video: This Unlockable Character in Hyrule Warriors Shouldn't Be Missed
Based on the tagline, I was expecting Yoshi, (if only because of his cameo in Link's Awakening) but this is good, too!
Re: Gallery: Mega Man: The Board Game Gets Closer to Reality
I wonder what the price will be, and which retailers it will be sold at, if any?
Re: Review: 3D Fantasy Zone (3DS eShop)
I've never played any version of Fantasy Zone, and I have no idea why I didn't seek it out before. Now that it's out in 3D Classics form, I'm sold!
Re: A Wild Update on Pokémon Shuffle Appears
"Nintendo used Microtransaction!"
It's not very effective... hopefully.
Re: 3D Streets Of Rage 2 Rated By Australian Classification Board
I was holding out for this, knowing that SoR2 was way better than the first.

Re: Weirdness: Hands Up If You Knew About the Super-Easy Button Combination to Resume Progress in Super Mario Bros.
I learned this about a month ago. I was looking at a cheat-code website to see if SMB had any cheats, out of curiosity.

Re: Weirdness: Super Smash Bros. Fans Raise the Stakes With 'Falcon Potato' Minigame
@Squid The idea is to have Captain Falcon at slow speed, and the Mario's at normal speed.
Re: Gunman Clive 2 Shooting for 29th January Release
@hikingmudkip6 @Jahir It's $2.99
Re: Family Tennis SP
Having multiplayer already makes this more desirable than the 3DS version for me.
Re: Review: Best of Solitaire (3DS eShop)
I think it'd be cool if Nintendo made a Hanafuda game for 3DS.
Re: Review: Dig Dug (Wii U eShop / NES)
@thejfh1999 It doesn't even have to be a brand new one, it could be a port of one from last-gen for all I care. (Namco Museum: Virtual Arcade looks like a good one)
Re: Review: Dig Dug (Wii U eShop / NES)
I just want a non-VC Namco Museum on Wii U. Is that too much to ask for?
Re: Nintendo Download: 1st January (North America)
I decided to get the superior (and $2 cheaper) original Game Boy version of Bionic Commando instead.
Re: Reminder: Redeem Your Nintendo Network Deluxe / Premium Digital Promotion eShop Credit Codes by 31st March

Was going to pick 7 or 8, but decided to vote for 64 just to spite the haters.
Re: Cancelled Game Boy Advance Title Is Back From The Dead A Decade After Its First Showing

Re: Review: Fairune (3DS eShop)
I like Ys and I like Witch & Hero, (except for the final boss) so this sounds like a good buy for me!
Re: Club Nintendo Adds Two 3DS Game Card Cases and NES Remix 2 T-Shirt in North America
Nice! I'll consider saving up for a t-shirt. I've already got the Zelda case; maybe I'll get the Mario/Pikmin one, too, since after Christmas I might possibly have enough games to warrant a second one. (I currently keep my extra games in my room and swap them out when I feel like playing them)

Re: Sonic Boom is Doing Pretty Well!
I like this show! It's obvious that this is what all the effort is going to, the games are just your usual sub-par tie-ins.
Re: South Park Tables Available Soon in Zen Pinball 2 for Wii U
I love Zen Pnball 2, and I love South Park, so of course I'm getting this!

Re: Review: Pokémon Conquest (DS)
I'll look into this after I've burned out my copy of "Projectu Crossu Zone". Or else get it as a Christmas present for my Poke-fan little brother.
