@FJOJR None of the Smash 64 hidden characters (aside from the obvious Luigi) are going to be revealed. They weren't revealed before Brawl came out either.
My question is, other than Snake, who is getting cut? Surely somebody won't be making the jump from Brawl but the obvious cuts seem to be making it in this one.
I'm really eager for Yarn Yoshi as it is by the highly underrated Good Feel who made two of the best Wii games. It also might be the best Yoshi platformer since Yoshi's Island which is something the green dino really needs.
I sort of wish they would have ditched the rocket barrel levels and brought back other animal friends instead, but this game looks so good it's a minor complaint.
I would personally give this a 10/10. Such an excellent action platformer with top notch level and enemy design and fun advanced techniques to pull off. The 3D is also perfect in bringing out the many layers in the fantastic backgrounds.
@electrolite77 @element187 How does one qualify $5 of enjoyment?
It's still only $5.
@Devilbro
$5 is apparently worth quibbling over because they can get $10 of value out of this game they've never played but not $15 worth based on one video. I mean, five dollars.Especially with the digital promotion, it seems like such a minor thing to harp on.

@ThomasBW84 I can dig it.
Re: Month Of Kong: Meet Donkey Kong's Extended Family
Not a fan of any of the post-DKC2 Kongs. They got more irritating than funny by that point, I think.
Re: A Sonic Boom Game is Dashing Towards Wii U and 3DS
Are we talking former Crash Bandicoot and Jak & Daxter developers? If so, I expect some quality gaming here.
Sanzaru for the 3DS? Sign me up. Sly 4 was the best Sly game.
Re: Nintendo Download: 6th February (North America)
Updating Ninja Gaiden, and I guess that's it.
Re: Pac-Man Museum Reportedly Cancelled on Nintendo Systems
Lame excuse and weak decision. But it's not a surprise, not in this era of the industry.
Re: Review: Super Mario Bros.: The Lost Levels (Wii U eShop / NES)
I'm not much of a fan of this one. I still think the SMB2 we got was the better game and the more fun of the two.
Re: Nintendo Still Working On Bringing Game Boy Advance Titles To 3DS Virtual Console, Says Natsume
The GBA still has my favorite portable library.
Bring on Double Dragon Advance, Mega Man Zero series, Klonoa, Sonic Advance, and Ninja Five-O!

Re: Feature: 10 Nintendo DS Games We Want To See On The Wii U Virtual Console
Contra 4, Henry Hatsworth, and Giana Sisters DS. I'm kind of surprised none of them are up there especially since the first was never released in EU.
Re: The Legend of Zelda: Four Swords Anniversary Edition Available For Free Right Now in North America
They really should port Four Swords Adventures to the eshop.
Re: Nintendo Download: 30th January (North America)
@Fabaroo The shop hasn't updated yet.
Re: Satoru Iwata Confirms That DS Games Are Coming To The Wii U Virtual Console
All the Sega systems, please.
Re: Video: Yoshi's New Island Trailer Shows Off Vehicle Transformations
I'm far more interested in Yarn Yoshi being that a better developer is behind it.

I'm really eager for Yarn Yoshi as it is by the highly underrated Good Feel who made two of the best Wii games. It also might be the best Yoshi platformer since Yoshi's Island which is something the green dino really needs.
Re: Renegade Kid's New 3DS FPS Is Moon Chronicles
I usually finish COD campaigns in under 7 hours, so this a better deal. Color me impressed.
Re: Nintendo Download: 23rd January (North America)
This has been the worst month for the eshop by far. It's time for more VC systems already. Nintendo really needs to turn this around fast.
Re: Feature: Nintendo Games Our Readers Would Love to See in 2014
Virtual Console and a StarTropics that is nothing like Tomb Raider/Uncharted style of scripted movie-games.
Re: Mighty Bomb Jack Is Blowing Up The North American Wii U Virtual Console This Week
How about NES Rygar from Tecmo instead? That game wasn't even released on the Wii VC.
Oh, I think I just answered my own question.
Re: Review: Super Mario Bros. 3 (3DS eShop / NES)
One of the best games ever made.
Re: Nintendo Confirms Rambi's Return in Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze
I sort of wish they would have ditched the rocket barrel levels and brought back other animal friends instead, but this game looks so good it's a minor complaint.
Re: Nintendo Download: 9th January (North America)
What a boring week.
Re: Nintendo Download: 2nd January (North America)
Yay, finally X2! Hopefully X3 isn't too far away!
Re: Nintendo Acknowledges Network Issues and Suggests Patience
I got it up, but it's working slowly.
Re: Nintendo Download: 26th December (North America)
@MrWalkieTalkie I have no idea. Gamers will complain about anything.
Re: Nintendo Download: 26th December (North America)
@PorllM The poll is about what you're downloading FIRST.
It would make more sense to me to download the game that is smaller and takes less time.
Re: Nintendo Download: 26th December (North America)
SMB3 before the year's end, huh? We're still backlogged on releases. ALTTP, MMX2, and still SMB3.
I'll still get Super Punch-Out, because it's a great game, but there's no reason we can't have more than 1 VC game per week.
Re: Nintendo Acknowledges Network Issues and Suggests Patience
To add some salt to the wound, we didn't even get SMB3 or ALTTP today in NA.
Oh, NOA, you sure are something else.
Re: Review: 3D Streets of Rage (3DS eShop)
Great game, but I really hope they do 2 and 3 eventually. The gameplay just got so much better.
Re: Review: Double Dragon (Wii U eShop / NES)
This is a decent version, but Double Dragon Advance is far better.
Either way, I'm awaiting Double Dragon II far more. Now there's an overlooked gem.
Re: Review: 3D Shinobi III: Return of the Ninja Master (3DS eShop)
I would personally give this a 10/10. Such an excellent action platformer with top notch level and enemy design and fun advanced techniques to pull off. The 3D is also perfect in bringing out the many layers in the fantastic backgrounds.
If you have a 3DS, you really need to play this.
Re: Nintendo Download: 19th December (North America)
@speedyboris Yeah, it's been like this all day. Nobody seems to know what the problem is.
Re: Nintendo Download: 19th December (North America)
@IceClimbers Get Shinobi III first. It's so good.
Re: Nintendo Download: 19th December (North America)
Is there any word on why NES Castlevania isn't offering the discount for those who own it on their Wii VC?
Re: Funky Kong's Return Confirmed for Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze
He's the shop keeper, which is mundo radical so we can hear his righteous speeches, dude.
Re: Nintendo Download: 19th December (North America)
Shinobi III is one of the best games ever made. You're doing yourself a disservice if you don't pick it up.
Personally, I seem to not be getting the discount for Castlevania showing up, so I'll be waiting for that on my Wii U.

Re: Dr. Luigi announced for Wii U eShop
It's a couple of bucks. Simply pass on one fast food item and you'll have the money. I mean, geez.
Re: Hyrule Warriors Is Zelda Meets Dynasty Warriors, And It's Coming To Wii U In 2014
I guess you can't be a true gamer unless you always jump to the worst possible conclusion after every announcement.
From what I've seen it looks fairly fun.
Re: New Donkey Kong Trailer Grabs Attention as European Release Date is Confirmed
This is the exact game I'm glad Retro is making. It looks so great.
Re: Exclusive Sonic Lost World DLC Now Available For Download On The Wii U eShop
Now opening the way for the long-awaited Sonic and Mario platformer.
Seeing as how Yoshi and Zelda are the two crossover DLCs, I'm really hoping that's the reason there was no proper Mario crossover.
Re: NES Remix Confirmed And Available Today on the Wii U eShop
Boy, people sure do like to complain over a few bucks. This is well worth the money.
Re: Fresh Details Are Sucked Up for Kirby: Triple Deluxe
This game looks awesome.
Re: PC Engine And MSX Games Coming To Japanese 3DS And Wii U Virtual Console Services
It's a good step forward. Now bring all Sega consoles, Neo Geo, and arcade and we can get to business.
Re: Hyrule Warriors Is Zelda Meets Dynasty Warriors, And It's Coming To Wii U In 2014
Awesome. I enjoy DW games, but only sparingly. This one is on my radar.
Re: Rosalina, Baby Characters, New Courses And Unique Rides All Confirmed For Mario Kart 8
I was sort of hoping for Kirby over baby characters. The MK games need more characters anyway.
Re: Nintendo Network 3DS Promotion to Offer Free Super Mario Bros. Deluxe Download in Europe
Wow NA is missing out on a lot of VC stuff recently. What's the deal?
Re: Feature: 10 Sega Titles We'd Like To See Reborn As 3D Classics
@MrHandsforth Yes.
Re: Nintendo Direct Focusing On Wii U And 3DS Games Coming Spring 2014 To Air Tomorrow
@MeWario Ha! They just announced MSX and PC-Engine for the Wii-U VC in Japan and PC-Engine for the 3DS as well. Good timing!
Now we just have to wait for it to get announced here. Hopefully this means more systems are FINALLY on the way.
Re: Feature: 10 Sega Titles We'd Like To See Reborn As 3D Classics
@Biofan4242 Strider would be up to Capcom and Contra would be up to Konami.
I wouldn't hold my breath for either.
Re: Nintendo Direct Focusing On Wii U And 3DS Games Coming Spring 2014 To Air Tomorrow
Virtual Console announcements, please. It's time to bring back the old VC systems and add new ones on top of it.
We're more than due for this.
