@ James: Of course it's not a matter of one person's job, but if he know what games get released, he can do something against it. I mean Nintendo itself have dozen of games which waits to get rated and released, and Nintendo has the time, money and staff so bring them to the eShop...
@ James & "It's also developers' jobs to make sure games are submitted and up to standard in time too."
Do you know the game "La Mulana"?
Or what is with Bionic Commando? I don't think that Capcom still hasn't done their work, I mean it even got announced for a release this quarter, and I think that the manual work does Nintendo, so please stop defending them...
I'll have to admit to Adamant that the singleplayer mode of the GameCube version of Four Swords is a lot better than this DSiWare edition. Because of that I would give the game a 7 or 8.
For me it is also a lot better than SML1, but "6 Golden Coins" is still too short and too easy. Because of that I would give the game an 8/10. (SML1 would get a 6/10 from me.)
SAGA has NO multiplayer, NO difficulties-option, NO online features, NO challenges, and NO constant framerate, and some of you really want to argue about the score difference to COMPLETE? O_o
P.S.: And portability isn't a feature of a game, but of a system...
November? With titles like Tales of the Abyss, maybe Mario Kart/Super Mario and plenty of other AAA-games on the stationary consoles, this is eventually not a great idea...
@ Nintendolife: I think this "news" is a little bit unidirectional. OoT wasn't the second best selling title, as the charts shows:
01. [XXX] LA Noire [Take 2] - 419.000 02. [XXX] Duke Nukem Forever [Take 2] - 376.000 03. [PS3] InFamous 2 [Sony] - 369.200 04. [XXX] Lego Pirates of the Caribbean [Disney] - 05. [3DS] The Legend of Zelda - Ocarina of Time 3D [Nintendo] - 280.000 06. [XXX] Call of Duty: Black Ops [Activision] - 07. [XXX] NBA 2K11 [Take 2] - 08. [XXX] Mortal Kombat [Warner Bros.] - 09. [XXX] Cars 2 [Disney] - 10. [WII] Just Dance 2 [UbiSoft] -
And the sentence "Five of the top ten and 13 of the top 25 best-selling software titles were developed for Nintendo platforms." can also be misleading, because you can get the feeling that these games were released only for Nintendo consoles.
Also: Isn't it journalistically the best thing to, at least, include the charts?
@ rachelthehedgehog, Kid_Khaozarus & "Zumba Fitness": This game is #1 in UK, not US...
@ siavm & "Most of the 86 mil now only buy dance games now. An RPG has a better chance selling on the gamecube than the wii."
No. Because there aren't many core games coming to the Wii anymore, ToG would have very good chances to sell well. I mean look at ToS:DotNW. It sells over 138.000 units, and wasn't even a main-title...
Even ToV for the 360 "only" sold 145.000 copies...
A 10? Sorry, but in terms of gameplay and compared to the Oracle games I feel that this game is a little bit outdated. Too few challenges besides the main story and some very annoying item barter...
@ 23. MARl0: "Personally I'd give Chrono Trigger a 9/10, and I'd give Final Fantasy 6 a 10/10. Chrono Trigger is awesome, but FF6 will always be the SNES's biggest and best RPG masterpiece."
Absolutely. If Chrono Trigger gets a 10, then FF VI deserves it more than ever.

It should be his job that games have to be ready...

Re: Review: Super Mario Land 2: 6 Golden Coins (3DS Virtual Console / Game Boy)
For me it is also a lot better than SML1, but "6 Golden Coins" is still too short and too easy. Because of that I would give the game an 8/10. (SML1 would get a 6/10 from me.)
Re: Nintendo Download: 29th September 2011 (Europe)
Still no chance to see/buy SML2 on the European eShop =(.
Re: Talking Point: The Most Memorable Nintendo 64 Games
Donkey Kong 64 and Paper Mario have to be in the list of the best N64 games.
Re: Nintendo Explains Lack of Online Play in Star Fox 64
@ Nintendolife & "or wouldn't you have minded another six months' wait to get the game and online play?"
Why should take the implementation of online play such a long time? O_o
Staf Fox hasn't really a complicated game structure, so this should be done in a month...
Re: Review: BIT.TRIP SAGA (3DS)
@ criticism about the score: WTF?
SAGA has NO multiplayer, NO difficulties-option, NO online features, NO challenges, and NO constant framerate, and some of you really want to argue about the score difference to COMPLETE? O_o
P.S.: And portability isn't a feature of a game, but of a system...
Re: Review: Mega Man: Dr. Wily's Revenge (3DS Virtual Console / Game Boy)
Are the sprites in the other titles of the Gameboy-series still as big as in "Mega Man: Dr. Wily's Revenge"?
Re: Feature: BIT.TRIP SAGA vs. BIT.TRIP COMPLETE
Soundtrack, New Difficulties, 120 new challenges & Online Leaderboards
Complete is waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay better. I mean, SAGA has no new content, so why should it be better? O_o
Re: Metal Slug-Style Action From Cinemax Coming to DSiWare
@ LordJumpMad & "This game would have been a buy....
if it came out a year ago before the 3DS"
Why? Is it now a worse game? O_o
Re: NightSky Coming to 3DS eShop
I bought it on Steam and it was/is really, really nice =).
Re: Rumour: Kojima Preparing Zone of the Enders on 3DS
@ Nintendolife: Why do you mark the news as a rumour? Don't you think that such a picture isn't clear enough?^^
Re: Review: Pac-Man (3DS Virtual Console / Game Boy)
A 5/10? Too high score for me.
Re: Shinobi on 3DS Remains Hidden Until November
@ ToadFan: Thanks for the info.
Re: Shinobi on 3DS Remains Hidden Until November
Btw.: November for Europe or USA? Or both?
Re: Shinobi on 3DS Remains Hidden Until November

Re: Review: QIX (3DS Virtual Console / Game Boy)
Way too high score for such an monotonously game...
I thought there might be even different levels or enemies, but no, if you see the first level, you saw them all, beside a second shape...
At most a 5/10 for me.

Re: Wii RPG Outrage Floods Official Nintendo Facebook
@ LightSamus &WiiLovePeace: Why don't you just import the Europeane versions of Xenoblade and Last Story? O_o
(EU and Australia have both the PAL standart, or not? So this shouldn't be a problem...)
Re: Review: Pokédex 3D (3DSWare)
A little question: Isn't it possible to see a simple list with every Pokémon? Or why can't you just click on a picture in the album and switch to this Pokémon?

@ "best Zelda handheld game" comments:
Did nobody here played the Oracle games? O_o

A 10? Sorry, but in terms of gameplay and compared to the Oracle games I feel that this game is a little bit outdated. Too few challenges besides the main story and some very annoying item barter...
I would give it an 8.
Re: Review: Super Mario Land (Game Boy)
For me even a 7 is a little bit high. I would give the game a 6, it just isn't THAT good.
Re: These DSiWare Games Cannot Be Moved to 3DS
@ 69. Jamouse "Apparently you can't transfer save data":
The save data is linked to/in the game, so normally you transfer it together.

Re: First 3DS Screenshots Escape From The Abyss
Looks really nice, but these aren't the first screenshots of the game.
Re: You Must Finish Ocarina of Time 3D to Take On the Master Quest
@ JayceJa: Master Quest IS harder, because the enemies do double damage .
Re: You Must Finish Ocarina of Time 3D to Take On the Master Quest
What a stupid decision. Since the announcement I wasn't sure if I will buy it, but now I won't do it.
Re: THQ Cancels Saints Row: Drive-By for 3DS
@ Dylan1 "i'm just not a fan of 3rd parties in general, no one compares to ninty's quality and design":
You are so wrong. And because of that you miss A LOT of great games...
Re: 3DSWare File Size May Be Bigger Than WiiWare
@ #41 "hardy83": "Though most DS games were between 64-128MB"
That is way too high. Most of the DS game were between 16-64 MByte.
Re: Review: Pilotwings Resort (3DS)
