What irken said, if not only because it would be both improbable and semi-impossible, but so awesome the universe would explode and Chuck Norris would die.
Consider this higher on my want list now. Three different versions of my favorite arcade shooter and three different versions of the original arcade classic? Nice!
I gotta go with JumpMad on this one. Is this really worth getting into a whole "My download service is better than yours!" argument? All the man said was that he didn't like the service (granted, it wasn't in the best way, but still). This has just been one long comment stream of "WiiWare sucks!" "No, PSN sucks!" "No, XBLA sucks!" "No, they all do!" You know something? I've been hearing this same thing for the past 3 years and frankly, it's getting old.
@outrun2sp: I own just a Wii, you don't see me complaining (except about this argument )
Eh, I really have no problem with the Friends List right now. It does everything it's supposed to do, everything else is just frosting on the cake, IMO.
This is a response? It sounds more like a PR form. Anyway, while I haven't had the error yet, it's a shame that so many people have had it. Hopefully there will be a quick fix soon, eh?
@16: There's forum threads for both 3DS codes and for voicing your irritations, so you might want to go there instead of posting in some random comment thread.
On topic, good review James, I just wonder if we'll ever see a friend great Asphalt game any time soon.
@XCWarrior: Probably because it's mainly not up to Nintendo to decide the release dates of games they have no affiliation with (besides with the WiiWare service itself).
I wasn't aware Capcom and Sega were regular listeners.
StreetPass Quest sounds like something I would totally sink some time into, so I'll be looking forward to that. I also kinda figured as much about the conditions for the DSiWare transfer. On the subject of E3, I'm particularly looking forward to more info on Kingdom Hearts Dream Drop Distance, which may or may not be part of the press conference, but since 358/2 Days was, and this game seems like an much more important title in the series, I wouldn't rule it out.
In closing, fantastic podcast guys, I'll be looking forward to whatever content good 'ol NL will be pushing out!
@Corbie: Nice new avatar. Is that an automatically-generated one from the Mii Maker?
@Weblaus: I wouldn't say it's your opinion people are getting riled up about, and you are actually presenting reasons to back up your argument, but the way you're presenting it comes off as a little disrespectful. However, as billy-beauts said, Corbs does seem to like the challenge, so I guess there's not really a reason to get that steamed.
Awesome, Corbie, maybe I'll pick this up sooner than later. I do find it interesting how Monkey Fight got a bit of a makeover, so that should be pretty fun to play.
I would say they're going to put in whatever things were cut out of the N64 version, as I know there was quite a bit. Ice Cavern regaining its status as a full dungeon, maybe?
There was quite a few "of course" utterings in that article, but it's definitely one heck on an informative read. Nice one, Corbie, I can't wait to try it out myself!

Re: WiiWare, Fez Developer Does Not Like You At All
Lol, this is funny for no apparent reason at all.

Re: Review: Pro Evolution Soccer 2011 3D (3DS)
Hmm, it does seem like the gameplay is all there and pretty solid, but once again, there isn't a lot to it. Nice review, James.
Re: Talking Point: The 3DS Friends List is Severely Lacking
Eh, I really have no problem with the Friends List right now. It does everything it's supposed to do, everything else is just frosting on the cake, IMO.
Re: Nintendo Responds to 3DS Black Screen Error
This is a response? It sounds more like a PR form. Anyway, while I haven't had the error yet, it's a shame that so many people have had it. Hopefully there will be a quick fix soon, eh?
Re: Review: Tom Clancy's Splinter Cell 3D (3DS)
Dang, that is really a tough break. I like Splinter Cell, too, but this just seems terrible.

Nice job on the photo and tagline, James, made me laugh.
Re: Resident Evil: Mercenaries Comes Loaded with a Revelation
Alright, that's just even more motivation to buy this game. Nice idea, Capcom!

Re: Review: Rayman 3D (3DS)
Well, I at least can safely say I'll probably pick this up at some point down the line...
Re: 3DS Won't Be This Cheap Forever Says Nintendo UK
This has nothing to do with the subject at hand, but Honeywell is an awesome last name.
Re: River City Ransom 2 Gives WiiWare a Wallop this Summer
@XCWarrior: Probably because it's mainly not up to Nintendo to decide the release dates of games they have no affiliation with (besides with the WiiWare service itself).
Re: River City Ransom 2 Gives WiiWare a Wallop this Summer
All right! I'm already more than ready to punch in some street gang faces!
Even if it takes a while to localize it.
Re: Warner Bros. Announces Green Lantern as Its Debut 3DS Title
Hmm... I would be lying if I said I didn't want Scribblenauts 3D as WB Games' first 3DS title, but whatever.

Re: Prepare for a Cartoon Network Punch Time Explosion on 3DS
At least they have, you know, a lot of the good cartoons.
Re: Iwata: Ocarina of Time 3D "Crammed with New Content"

Re: Talking Point: Nintendo has Nothing to Fear from Mobile Games
I would say......
-Nintendo will stay on top of the core gaming market for a long time.
and
-Apple will stay on top of the general public for a long time.
There, isn't it better when we all share?
