Tethers

@Drake & @nintendolife: Again: How are the controls? And did you report the bug to Next Level Games?

@nintendolife: Wait, no word on the controls? Why?

Isn't it worse to control because of only having 1 stick? I've read some opinions that it can be really annoying to capture some ghosts...

What will be the prices of the retail games in Euro (€)?

So, the GBC version has the same stages as the Wiiware version?

If so, then:

For me it seems that sometimes the ball/physic detection is a little bit worse in comparison to Zen Pinball 3D.

@Arcamenel & "I have no idea what this is. Won't be getting it."

This sentence makes absolutely no sense.

@C-Olimar & "Are all those games confirmed for Wii U?"

No, until now only Madden, FIFA & Mass Effect 3.

@ Nintendolife: Do you already know when the review will be online?

@ Miss_Rarity & "Thinking about Maboshi's Arcade... any enjoyed that one?"

It's one of my favourite WiiWare games, go and get it! (But it would be better for the developers to buy it^^.)

No word on the graphics and music? O_o

The WiiWare version was/is great, so the 3DS release will be an instant buy for me.

15$ for a Pokédex? WTF?

@ "I don't think its aged as well as some do, I would give it a 7 rather than an 8."

I have to agree with that. I would even give the game a 6/10

From now on I take Nintendolife as a news source a little less serious.

For me this score is too high. I would give the game at most a 7, today it's easily not that fun to play...

@DrCruse: What does this have to do with censorship? Also: Just why can't you find this game on XBLA or PSN? Think about it...

Finally MM5 & MMX...

@James: I hope you don't mean this seriously...

Ah, and did you now understand what I wrote (and mean) in comment #265?^^

@theblackdragon: Yeah, and it is totally comfortable to do this on 100 comments...

@James: Yes and no^^. I mean, when you click on the "Reply"-button, there will be a "@Tethers"-link in your comment. When I click on this, it directs me to the profile of the person (in this case, me^^). But it would be better if the link takes me to the comment you are answering on. For example in your comment the link of "@Tethers" should link to:

https://www.nintendolife.com/news/2012/02/welcome_to_the_new_look_nintendo_life#comment1074663

(And I know, sorry for my bad English^^.)

@Nintendolife: It woul be really cool if the link, when you click on "Reply", would be direct you to the comment instead of the profile, because then you can read on what subject the member is answering. Is that possible?

I never trusted such sales number out of nowhere. What are the sources of these valuations?

@ueI: Adblock blocks the ads, so they don't load. And if they don't load, it is easy to tell that you can't see them^^.

@Nintendolife: It woul be really cool if the link, when you click on "Reply", would be direct you to the comment instead of the profile, because then you can read on what subject the member is answering. Is that possible?

@Yanchamaru & "Would love a user review option that allows us to write and grade the game"

@ Nintendo Life: Yeah, to grade a game was a very nice feature at that time on your Virtual Console site.

@VintageBoy & "I can't help but notice one particular aesthetic - those big links and chunky buttons seem decidedly... smartphone-friendly. Plans for a mobile NL on the cards?"

Read the news^^.

@antdickens: All right, thanks for the info! =)

(Although it would be better to have an extra page or to add these options to the existing RSS-page, so that you can choose from the different sections, because I think in the future I will forget this^^.)

@ Nintendolife: Isn't it anymore possible to subscribe RSS-Feeds of specific sections, like "Latest Updates of WiiWare" or the "eShop"?

@LEGEND_MARIOID: Gigant Battle = very good? It is AWESOME!

I'm still waiting for a new 3DS-installment...

This game I would give an 8/10, 9 is a little too high and reserved for the first DS- and Wii-versions^^.

@Hawker & "if you make bad games they won't sale no matter what the company's policy is"

Maybe, but on other services you get at least your money from the games you've sold...

Also: The problem with WiiWare is, that sometimes even good games doesn't sell well, for example because it is hard to get a Demo online...

@Token_Girl: "Just because there games weren't great doesn't mean they don't have a point. How well do GOOD games do on WW as opposed to Steam, App Store, PSN/XBLA, ect.

Maybe that's why we're not seeing many good games on WW. Studios with their stuff together know better than to bother."

So true...

@James & "but I think it only includes those who have played the game for over one hour, which potentially misses out a lot of sales too"

This should not be the case, because the thing with the one hour was, that then you have the chance to rate the game, not that this is the moment when the system takes you into the database.

@ArmoredGoomba, @vonseux & @DarkEdi: So you've played all of their games to form an opinion for yourself?

Sometimes the internet is way to full of silly comments...

@ Bass_X0 & "Only if you're really have to have the same game on both wii and 3DS."

It would be enough to give the option to transfer the games...

If you compare it to "Tetris Party Live", this GB-Tetris version ist way too overpriced...

Even if it is to "difficult" for Nintendo to make a standardized account to use a game on two platform, at least they could have offered a service to transfer games between the Wii and 3DS, similar to the "DSiWare transfer" thing, so that you can't play them on the Wii anymore.

@ James: "It's a choice just like most other purchases."

No it's not, because I already payed a high price for a digital copy of a 25 year old game. Also it would be very customer-friendly to offer such a service, like Sony does it. I mean we are talking about 5, 10 or 20(!!!) years old games for such a relative high price, that it would be almost a matter of course to provide something like this. It is even possible on mobile phones, to use an app on different devices with the same account...

And even if Nintendo don't want to do this: Why don't give the people who already bought the game a discount, for example 75%?

Oh, I forgot, Nintendo never heard of discounts...

@James: Wow, what a strong argument!
(Seriously, did you even thought about what I've wrote? Look to Sony, for example if you buy there a 'PS Classic'-game you can play it on the PS3 and Vita/PSP as well, without extra costs...)

Why should this be awesome? They already released this game on the Wii, and if they keep this speed we have to wait again many years to get the the same games already available on the Wii Virtual Console. And if you own it on your Wii, their is no way to connect your accounts to play this on your 3DS. No, instead you have to pay AGAIN...

Want to download all 10 games in sleep mode, but it doesn't work, the 3DS isn't downloading anything =(. (No program is open, I closed the 3DS in home menue, the battery is full, W-LAN is on...)

Btw., VVVVVV is AWESOME!

@ Nintendolife: Maybe you should make it clear in the news, that this list is only for North America and not Europe.

@ Nintendolife: Is there a map in the game? I played the NES version and didn't like it so much, one of the reasons was the absence of a map...

I hope that this isn't true...

Still no info about a EU release? =(

You have to pay just for showing the charts, even without the sale-numbers? O_o

@ Nintendolife: Why don't you post the charts in a news about the charts? O_o

And considering the installbase of the Wii in UK, a seventh place isn't "strong"...

@ James: Yeah, but it is unnecessary to post this "news" again .

@ Nintendolife & almost every member who posted a comment here: You all seem to have a weak memory, because this is nothing new^^. NL posted the exact same quotation nearly a half year ago...
