Simbabbad

Looks like a Flash game and plays obviously nothing like Metroid.

@MussakkuLaden: there is absolutely nothing "generic" or "forgettable" about Wario Land : the Shake Dimension, it's actually easily one of the most unique and memorable games of the last generation, both in terms of gameplay and visuals. What are you even talking about? There is no game like it.

Wario Land : the Shake Dimension is a masterpiece. I beat that game 100%, and it was an amazing challenge, probably my favourite game from last generation.

Some people apparently didn't understand that the games are still all available through the 3DS eShop...

Thanks for the kind words !

@Wuvwii: Sorry, from your Mii I thought you were a boy. Don't mind me, I did see your levels were different from mine, and obviously, anybody is free to create Metroid inspired levels. You know I respect you, I adjusted one of my levels according to your feedback. I'm just jealous you're featured in Nintendo Life and I'm not !

Funny that his "Metroid Resurrection" series has been created after he himself played my Metroid Resurgence one:

As for level deletion... I still don't see what's the issue exactly.

@JaxonH: apparently, you didn't grasp the concept of the virtual console. What you're asking for is a full remake with nothing in common with the original code, what's the point since the series is still going?

Didn't even know it was a thing. What's the point?

What's with the Japanese text on screen shots? Hasn't this game been translated? No info in the review.

@Jamotello: is this a joke? There were remakes in the 1980s, just like there were movie remakes in the 1930s, etc.

@zool "The best way with any game is the have an easy, normal and hard setting. Even a extra hard setting for the few best players."

Sigh... How do you do that exactly with platform games? You raise the health of platforms?

Why should it be free, exactly?

@Kirk "Nintendo's still pretty clueless it seems." - do you have their sales numbers, market analysis and sale projections? Or do you just whine because you want stuff for free without any "clue" if it would be the right business decision or not?

@lemonjellydude No offence, but you have no idea how emulation work. It's not about handling "a simple 16-bit game", it's about emulating hardware with instantaneous response times with software: the new hardware emulating the simpler/older hardware therefore has to be VASTLY (and I DO mean "vastly") quicker than the original one.

@AlienX The 3DS VC outputs the original ratio displayed on TVs back then and has perfect emulation. The collection, as numerous reports have established already, suffers from slowdowns and stutters that weren't in the original games.
The joke is on you because you try to shame Nintendo for the Virtual Console and praise this collection, when the Virtual Console is actually the best way to experience Mega Man on 3DS whereas this collection is the worst, by quite a margin.
The fact the digital edition of the collection is sold in the US at the same price as all the Virtual Console Mega Man games combined makes this collection a true insult to any gamer, and is a damn shame for Capcom.
As for playing pirated games, that's your decision.

@AlienX Well, the joke's on you since it seems that collection has very serious issues that affect gameplay, and the best way to play Mega Man on 3DS is the Virtual Console.
Also, outputting games in their original 4:3 format is not "random".

Lots of informations missing in this review: what are the display options, is 3D used, does it have glitches/slowdowns (I read there are)...

Shame I don't care at all about Pokémon, this looks well-made.

Like everybody, I'd buy this as DLC for the Wii U, but certainly not on 3DS, and yet I own a new 3DS. No way I'm redoing everything on inferior hardware. Since we already know it won't come in any form on Wii U without buying the whole 3DS game, Nintendo will have no money from me on that one.

Meh. Not worth news.

@The_BAAD_Man the loading times are generally around ten seconds. I think you can handle it.

@sinalefa this is the second version only and a sequel more than a "version", Mutant Mudds Deluxe was a free update. But yes, where is Treasurenauts?

I don't understand Renegade Kids. I love Mutant Mudds, but then they released only remakes of 3D first person DS titles which I didn't care about, and now they release what is simply a harder version of Mutant Mudds, which I don't think is the right way to go for the franchise. Oh, and Xeodrifter was way too expensive for such a short and limited game. They cry about sales, but make all the wrong decisions.

The new Nintendo 3DS is just a deluxe, much more comfortable 3DS, like the 2DS is a cheap, budget 3DS. I love my new Nintendo 3DS and could not go back to a standard one. Like the 2DS, it was never intended to put the charts on fire or to replace the old one. Not sure what there is to write about.

@ThrowMeBarrel "Nobody got offended except Nintendo.": no, not at all. Nintendo is simply carefully avoiding media hysteria in the countries they release their games in, hence why those games release uncensored in Japan. This political correctness is typical of the US, it's there that the concept was born, before it contaminated parts of Europe through cultural dominance.

If you're upset at this decision, act to change your country's mentality. Nintendo would have been happy not caring about that stuff.

I remember fondly the days were gamers were against censorship.

Eh, as a native European, I forbid every single Japanese and American company to ever use medieval costumes, ever. Have fun. I'll also retroactively sue Disney for their use of European fairy tales, how dare they?!

Good Heavens.

That... doesn't look good.

"Diamonds can only be created in high pressure environments, however, and the game turned out to be arguably the best in the series yet." - stopped reading right here. Awakening was a mess.

Apparently people should rather play the excellent A Shadow's Tale on Wii.

Very good news! I didn't think it would sell as well! I can't wait to play this on Wii U!

Worst character ever.

@IAmDeclanJay no need to ask anything, there is just no more use for their system now, and the hits dropped like a brick. Why keep an irrelevant system alive?

Given the description, this looks to not be a "cure" at all, and in no way should be taken as offensive. Tons of homosexual, men or women, ended up loving an opposite sex person because they fell in love, and the reverse is true. Mountain out of a molehill... again.

There is no chance I'll buy the 3DS game, but I'd gladly buy more Wii U DLC. It'd be nice if we knew at last if this will be possible or not.

I'm actually among the people who thought the first game had issues (it was way too slow to start), but the 6/10 Nintendo Life review was simply a disgrace. Embarrassing.

@Salnax: Monster Games are excellent developers, and I'd rather have them making new games than having their talent wasted on remasters. And why are you talking about a new Zelda or Xenoblade? Excite Truck and Excitebots were godly, I'd rather take the latter than a new Mario Kart any day, or any other new game they'd like to make. Next Level Games aren't making Zelda or Xenoblade either, and their games are all outstanding. I don't care about old stuff I beat already, I already own them.

The point that those remasters are done by outside studios is completely irrelevant: this is still a waste of resources when the most glaring issue on Nintendo consoles are the lack of new games. If those studios can do a good remaster under Nintendo supervision, why couldn't they make good new games under supervision? Look what Retro, Kuju and Next Level Games did.

Besides, the article completely misses that many games they want a remaster of are controlled by Wiimote + nunchuk, controllers that many Wii U owners don't have.

@Stargazer Entertain me: what racer innovated more than Mario Kart 8, and why?

What's amusing is the idea of making Mickey "epic" and dark aimed precisely at attracting core gamers, which by the way brought the game tons of hype. And core gamers didn't like it for the sole reason that it wasn't a good game: the controls were bad, the camera was horrendous, the level design was uninspired, the universe was limited and redundant (tons of copy and past characters), Mickey's redesign was bad, the paint/thinner concept was much more superficial than promised, the "choice" aspect was superficial, some areas had just plain catastrophic gameplay, the 2D sections were incredibly mediocre, the promises about visiting Disney history were not fulfilled at all...

Spector never wanted to admit any of this and would rather play victim any time an issue was brought up... and he made the sequel even worse, fixing none of the issues of the first game and adding new issues. That after he said they'll deliver Super Mario quality. This man is as arrogant, egocentric and blind as Molyneux.

What's funny is I defended Epic Mickey back then: it was pretty bad, but it tried interesting things. Spector's attitude made me turn around, I've never seen such denial.

"I feel like after Moon Chronicles he should've realized that people just want Renegade Kid platformers."

This.

He looks interesting but Fire Emblem is way over represented.

I hate this character, so I'll pass. Aren't both her games complete bombs? I guess when the poll started, the Wii U games just launched and she was all over the Internet, so people voted for her even though they probably don't care by now.

I'll wait for the Wii U version, but this is a must buy. I loved SteamWorld Dig.

Will probably wait for the Wii U version.

It's not rated insane. The hard rating comes from completion percentage. And it's certainly not "thrown together".

A gigantic waste of time for everybody, lawyers included.

Please, tell me the Wii U version of those characters can be purchased without the 3DS game.

If people get angry about censorship in the West, people in the West have to get angry about their own society first. Those changes are done for a simple reason: companies don't want bad press. Remove the bad press and endless controversies in your countries, and the games will release as they are in free countries.
@edhe: cute, except none of those people whine. And that's why those outfits aren't censored.

Nintendo is doing this because western societies are recently obsessed with a version of feminism that censors everything of this nature. They don't want bad press or trouble or any controversy. It has nothing to do with what they think is right or wrong or appropriate or not, they simply adapt their games to the countries they release them in. If you're mad, make your country's mentality evolve.

I would have liked the Luigi suit of FF4 better, those feel really out of place.
@Lilith93: you'll unlock those costumes after having beaten the game. Fatal Frame has an action element that increases replay value, replaying the game with costumes is a way to put a fresh spin on another run.
