In the Gamecube AC, I enjoyed collecting the NES games more than actually playing them. And on April Fools Day Tortimor gives you a fake NES game. It was a good trick.
They were a nice addition but we don't need them now.
I don't like censorship, but it would be nice if there was less nudity/near-nudity in video games altogether. It turns women away from video games and makes men look like horny 13-year-olds.
I always hear the argument that "sex sells" but did you know you can get porn for free from the internet instead of buying a $50 game featuring cleavage? It's true! There's money in your pocket.
I'm morbidly curious about the Jack the Ripper game. I really enjoyed the Sherlock Holmes vs Jack the Ripper point and click adventure and I like murder mysteries. Looking forward to a review.
While I'm still interested in the game, it's no longer a must-buy. There will be plenty of games to choose from in September, but in February there wasn't anything else to compete for my money. Maybe I will buy it someday when it's cheap.
This was a surprisingly good game. I was very glad that I made the plunge and decided to give it a chance. Getting all of the combos was the best part, as well as following the understory.
The SNES version of Harvest Moon is really great for how simple it is. This one is a little too simple, but it's still fun and I'm going to get it when it comes out here, even though I own the original black-and-white Gameboy game.
For those of you who haven't played a Harvest Moon game in many years, Animal Parade for the Wii and A New Beginning for the 3DS are both really great. The bests in the series for sure.
I have VC, Wiiware, 3DSware etc games and I also have quite a few games on Steam, however I will always choose the physical game if the option exists. There's nothing wrong with digital only games but having the real disc feels so much more real. Plus I'll always be a collector at heart.
If eshop games were significantly cheaper than physical games I might consider them, but not if they're the same price.
Urrggh is it really necessarily to have a cute dungeon crawling puzzle game feature giant tits? Is this really the type of game that men play to get off?
We already knew this. Every week I hope they release one of them and then I'm disappointed when they don't. I guess this is just reminding us that it's still happening?
I don't plan to boycott the game, but if there are other games that I want coming out in September that compete for my money, I may not get it. However if it was being released in February, I'd get it without thought. There isn't much out for the Wii U right now and I really want a new game. It's too bad Rayman isn't going to benefit from people like me who are itching to spend their money on a game for their new console.
I almost always prefer no voice acting in games because of a) voice acting that doesn't represent how real people talk and b) I can read faster than they can speak so I either cut them short or wait for them to finish. There have been exceptions though and I think sometimes voice acting adds to the experience.
I don't want Link to ever be voice acted because they'll never get it just right. In fact, the silly noises that he makes in Skyward Sword when he touches lava or falls off a cliff are too much as it is. Wind Waker Link is the closest they've gotten to a good Link voice.
The first Zelda isn't really that hard, but yes you will get a few Game Overs unless you are really experienced with the game. I've finished it a couple of times.
I'm happy with these games. I was considering buying Zelda II on the VC so this saves me the money and the trouble.
And for those complaining, Nintendo doesn't owe you anything. You run the risk of a price drop whenever you buy anything expensive. I admit I was very surprised when the price dropped so quickly but I was willing to buy it for full price when I did so why would I be less satisfied when the price dropped? And we get 20 free games when they don't have to give us anything.
I also disagree with this review. I have had no problems with the controls and I never ever felt lost or confused about what I was supposed to do. It's incredibly straightforward. I guess it's just not for everyone.

Re: Thinking Of Buying Animal Crossing: New Leaf? Go Digital, Says Iwata
I was planning on buying digital, but a local store broke the street date by five days and I couldn't resist buying it early.

Re: New Touch Detective Game Looks to be in the Works
Oh man I loved Touch Detective! Such a weird game.
Re: Nintendo Download: 30th May (North America)
I'm getting Denpa Men 2, both Oracle games, Megaman X (and I guess Ghost and Goblins too), and possibly Toki Tori.
Re: Video: Sonic Lost World Debut Trailer Blasts Across The Internet
This game looks great. I'll definitely keep an eye out for it when it's released for the Wii U.
Re: Review: The Starship Damrey (3DS eShop)
I'm really interested in this game. I may buy it now, or wait for it to go on sale.

Re: Ace Attorney Collection for 3DS Has Been Proposed "Many Times" at Capcom
I own all the DS games and I bought them again on the Wii.
And I'd still buy a 3DS collection. This is the one series that I will buy over and over and not even be sorry.
Re: Review: Picdun 2: Witch's Curse (3DS eShop)
Urrggh is it really necessarily to have a cute dungeon crawling puzzle game feature giant tits? Is this really the type of game that men play to get off?
Re: Nintendo Download: 21st February 2013 (North America)
I enjoyed the first Picdun game so I'm interested in the sequel. Getting F-Zero and the demos for sure.

Re: You Can't Use Your Wii Virtual Console Saves With the Wii U Virtual Console
I didn't expect the new WiiU VC games to read Wii VC saves anyway. I'm surprised that so many people thought that it would.
Re: Nintendo Download: 10th January 2013 (North America)
I'm getting the ZombiU demo for sure.
Re: Miyamoto: Pikmin 3 To Be More Like Series Original
On one hand, I did like the go-at-your-own pace aspect of Pikmin 2, but I also loved the desperation of the original game.
Re: Nintendo Download: 13th December 2012 (North America)
Interested in a review for Gardenscapes.
Re: North America, Game Boy Tennis Is Your New Club Nintendo Reward
MUSIC YES
Re: New Professor Layton Title Confirmed for 3DS
Does this being the final adventure mean that Layton vs Wright will be released first?
Re: Nintendo Confirms Its Holiday Hits in North America
Professor Layton, Harvest Moon, and Pokemon White 2 for me.
Re: Nintendo Download: 19th July 2012 (North America)
Great games this week.
Re: Review: Theatrhythm: Final Fantasy (3DS)
This game is so fun.
I unlocked some great characters and now I'm ready to take on the ultimate difficulty.
Re: Feature: The Best Soundtracks on Wii
Both Rune Factory games had some great music.
The Wind Shrine music from Tides of Destiny is especially nice.
Re: Project Happiness to Put a Smile on 3DS Owners' Faces
I'll keep this on my radar since I'm a big Harvest Moon fan, but this looks like a browser game.
Re: Poll: Which Colour Wii U Would You Prefer?
I'd prefer an actual colour like red.
But if given an option between black or white (or grey or silver) I'd probably choose white.
Re: Adventure Time is Coming to DS
Weird. I thought Pendleton Ward said the Adventure Time game was for the 3DS.
Re: Aonuma: "We'll See" About Zelda Voice Acting

Re: There's Hope for Layton vs. Phoenix Wright Outside Japan
Please please oh please come to North America! I love both Phoenix Wright and Professor Layton and I need this crossover to happen!
Re: You're Not Alone in Finding the First Zelda So Hard
The first Zelda isn't really that hard, but yes you will get a few Game Overs unless you are really experienced with the game. I've finished it a couple of times.
Zelda II is much much more difficult.
Re: Feature: BIT.TRIP SAGA vs. BIT.TRIP COMPLETE
I'm getting Saga.
Re: Professor Layton's London Life Won't Make It to Europe
@ Jango-Forest I think only Luke's voice is different.
Re: These Are The 10 NES Ambassador Games in Japan
I'm happy with these games. I was considering buying Zelda II on the VC so this saves me the money and the trouble.
And for those complaining, Nintendo doesn't owe you anything. You run the risk of a price drop whenever you buy anything expensive. I admit I was very surprised when the price dropped so quickly but I was willing to buy it for full price when I did so why would I be less satisfied when the price dropped? And we get 20 free games when they don't have to give us anything.
Re: Professor Layton's Last Specter Out in October
Yessss I love Professor Layton!

I also disagree with this review. I have had no problems with the controls and I never ever felt lost or confused about what I was supposed to do. It's incredibly straightforward. I guess it's just not for everyone.
Re: Harvest Moon: Tale of Two Towns Comes with Fluffy Surprise
I'll probably wait for the 3DS version. Hopefully it will be released shortly after the DS version and we won't have to wait too long.
Re: Rune Factory: Tides of Destiny Crashes In Next Month
Yes! I'm actually surprised we're getting it so soon. I expected fall 2012 at least!
Re: Let's Create! Pottery on DSiWare This Week
This actually looks kind of neat. $5.00 is a little expensive but I may buy it anyway.
Re: Super Mario Land 2 and Metroid II Heading to 3DS Virtual Console
I played so much Mario Land 2 when I was a kid. I won't be able to resist buying that one.
Re: Pikmin 3 Plucked from Wii to Find a Home on Wii U
I've been waiting for Pikmin 3 for a long time. I'm disappointed it won't be on the Wii, but maybe it will be a better game in the long run.
Re: These DSiWare Games Cannot Be Moved to 3DS
It's too bad Art Academy can't be transferred. I still use it.
Re: La-Mulana Hits Japan On 21st June
I thought this was canceled...
Re: Sail the Tides of Destiny with New Rune Factory in 2011
Rune Factory Frontier was excellent; XSeed did a great job. Hopefully Natsume won't ruin this one with a bad translation.
Re: Features: Re-Examining Zelda: Twilight Princess
I loved every moment of Twilight Princess but I don't think it stands up against my favourites: Wind Waker and Link's Awakening.
TP is the first Zelda game where I enjoyed the dungeons more than screwing around in the overworld though. It had some excellent dungeons.
Re: This Upcoming WiiWare Game is Absolutely Pucca
I love Pucca <3
I'm not sure about this game though....
Re: Features: Nintendo Life Reader's Choice Awards 2010
Mario Galaxy 2 and DQIX deserve those winning spots!
