@CanisWolfred There's only one glitch I know of in SMB2, where if you don't quite make your mark when jumping to a platform, you'll sometimes land inside the wall, but not get stuck or anything.
Though it's been surpassed on a technical and even objective level, the magic of Link's first 3D outing has yet to matched. Lot's of "growing pains" to be sure, but without the brave efforts of OoT, we likely wouldn't have Wind Waker and we definitely wouldn't have Majora's Mask.
I would have gotten this, but the fact that losing in Story Mode means starting back at the beginning is a deal-braker for me. It should've been the other way around; checkpoints in Story, no checkpoints in Arcade.
Some people say they want a new Metroidvania, but I'd rather have a new classic style Castlevania, specifically in the style of Super Castlevania IV; 8-direction whipping, sub-weapons as a separate button, mid-air direction changing, whip swinging, all that stuff.
I want Shantae, but I'm holding off until after I've bought Gargoyle's Quest II, Demon's Crest, Costume Quest 2, Pier Solar, and picked up my pre-order of Smash Wii U.
What do you guys think the age rating for this will be? My 11-year-old brother likes Attack On Titan and would love this game, but we'll have a hard time convincing our mom to let him buy it if it turns out to be M.
Gargoyle's Quest II and Demon's Crest for me. It's nice to know the release date, now I don't have to check the eShop every Thursday and be disappointed by dumb ol' Harvest Moon.
@adeceku I'm largely cut from that same cloth, preferring physical copies to digital when available. In this case, however, I feel like having a Tetris game installed on the system would be advantageous, given the nature of such a game. Yes, I'm also the type who'd download a game if it were cheaper than physical; but that's just me!
I never got Tetris Axis, so I will look into this one. Unless it turns out to be worse, of course.
@Drawdler I doubt any Tetris in the near future will top that one. If Ultimate is at least better than Axis, I'll get it for sure. (I realize I'm coming off as having something against Axis, but I don't. Trust me.)
Definitely Kirby's Dream Course! It was my first Kirby game and a surprisingly great golf game. I'd rather have Wrecking Crew on the go, and already got Donkey Kong '94 last time it was offered.
Why can't we get a good BlazBlue game on a Nintendo system? They're either crappy spin-offs like this, or a crappy, rushed port like Continuum Shift II. (which is even more infuriating because, had they taken the time make it able to delete saves and have an option to use the circle pad for movement, it would've been enjoyable. The Legend Of Zelda could delete saves, and that was in the '80s!)

Re: Review: Costume Quest 2 (Wii U eShop)
I hope it's true that a patch fixing the framerate and adding off-tv play is coming out, that will make this game much more playable.
Re: The Man Behind Sega's Wonder Boy Series Hates The Controls In Super Mario Bros.
This is like the creator of Message From Space criticizing Star Wars.

Re: Review: Pier Solar and the Great Architects (Wii U eShop)
I'll be joining the "mentally bump up to 8" club, as well.

Re: SEGA Confirms Second Batch of 3D Classics for the West
The Game Sack folks will be happy! I'll be picking up one of the Fantasy Zone's for sure and maybe Outrun.

@Azikira On-rails.
Re: Review: Woah Dave! (3DS eShop)
I'll probably get it, I do love me some Mario Bros.
Re: Nintendo Download: 30th October (North America)
I'm getting Gargoyle's Quest II on 3DS and Demon's Crest, (throws celebration) and Costume Quest II. I'll wait for a review on Woah Dave!
Re: Review: The Legend of Dark Witch (3DS eShop)
Glad to see Thomas Whitehead didn't review this one.
Re: Weirdness: These Halloween Pokémon Will Haunt Your Pokédex
@Usagi-san I know I have!

Re: Attack on Titan: The Last Wings of Mankind Looks Set for a Western Release
@thelastgogeta Thanks, bud! Looks like little bro's gonna have to stick with the fan-game for now.
Re: Nintendo Outlines Generous eShop Publication Policies
"Are you pleased with these policies, and do you hope to see more titles like Binding of Isaac come to Nintendo systems?"
Am I pleased that Nintendo is being more lenient, thus encouraging developers to release games for their systems? Yes!
Do I hope to see more blatantly anti-Christian titles that are trying too hard to be controversial? No.

Re: Review: Ninja Battle Heroes (3DS eShop)
Told ya guys they'd give this an 8!
My favorite budget-priced 3DS eShop game I've played so far, and that's including Gunman Clive!
Re: The Game Boy Color is Now 16 Years Old
Next year, it'll be asking to host parties... with Game Girls.
Re: New Music and Voice Samples Discovered in the Donkey Kong Arcade
The first music sample I think was re-used in Donkey Kong '94, and the second one sounds like Mario Kart's victory theme.
Re: Nintendo Confirms Retro Halloween Scares for the Virtual Console
@Don Forget that! I want Belmont's Revenge!
Re: Nintendo Confirms Retro Halloween Scares for the Virtual Console
Gargoyle's Quest II and Demon's Crest for me. It's nice to know the release date, now I don't have to check the eShop every Thursday and be disappointed by dumb ol' Harvest Moon.
Re: Nintendo 64x64: Paper Mario
Paper Mario was definitely good enough to make up for N64's otherwise complete lack of REAL rpg's. (we're looking at you, Quest 64!)
Re: Rare Donkey Kong Delights to Grace the Wii U and 3DS
I would probably buy all three SNES games if they came to NA. Don't care about the GB ones, though.

Re: Nintendo 64x64: Mario Kart 64
@mystman12 That doesn't mean the people who love it are being dishonest, though.
Re: Nintendo Download: 9th October (North America)
I bought Ninja Battle Heroes and I'm loving it so far. I expect NL's review to give it 7/10 or 8/10.

Re: Slew of Capcom Titles Announced for North American and European Virtual Consoles
I've almost beaten Gargoyle's Quest, so I'll be ready to pick up it's sequels.

Good for them! I'm sick and tired of hearing about gay this and gay that.
