Another great article Phil, the world of Mega Man is quite large nowadays so the title made me laugh. In some ways I like the X series more that the Classic but overall you can't beat Megaman 1-10.
Any of the critics who complained about the GamePad and Pro Controller feeling too light and cheap were just spewing garbage. They are both very comfortable in terms of weight and ergonomically. That aside, I was very impressed with the toushcreen on the GamePad myself. It is very responsive to light finger presses and I haven't had any problems with it myself.
Great article Gaz, took me back to some of the great times i've had with my Wii. 2010 was without a doubt one of the most exciting years to be a Nintendo gamer with titles like DKCR and Kirby's Epic Yarn plus the 3DS hype and all. But tripping in Brawl is seriously not that big a deal guys.
I think it was put best by the person that said "This isn't a game, this is a McDonald's toy." Seriously, Megaman is a pretty hardcore franchise with a huge following and you make a social iOS game for the 25th anniversary?
Looks pretty sweet to me. I hope Batman Arkham City is a launch day title or at least before Christmas. I also thought Trine 2 was confirmed to be available at launch but maybe i'm wrong.
Yeah the original was better, but this is not a bad game by any stretch of the imagination. The original has more nostalgia for me but I still enjoyed this game very much. If the SNES Yoshi's Island is a 10/10 this is a 8.5/10 for me.
I just want to give a big Thank You to you James for all the time and effort you put into this site and your articles. I can't tell you how much fun being a part of Ask James was and I appreciated how much you tried to connect with us. I know you must be very excited about your new job and we all wish you the best of luck!
They really need to upgrade the graphics to 16 bit or something for the earlier games because playing a black and white Gameboy game on my tv is so appealing.
If they don't show Animal Crossing my sister would be very upset. They had me worried for a while about showing any 3DS stuff but now all confidence is in you Nintendo; this will be epic.

I know everyone is getting down on New Super Mario Bros but this already looks like Nintendo is doing new things with the game. The hand drawn backgrounds look nice and the people talking about flying squirrel suits and baby yoshis that balloon up, not to mention the world map has me very excited.
E3 is like Christmas to me. It is without a doubt the most exciting gaming event of the year. You know you're hyped for E3 when you have dreams about it
Having so much fun with the game right now. I don;t see any major camera issues so far and you can move it if needed so no big deal. I personally like the jump mapped to flicking the remote, it just feels good. The art style is great and the funky jazz tunes are exceptional.
Castlevania is best in 2D and the 3DS could do some fantastic spritework. Who else want it to be a classic platformer? Nothing wrong with the Metroidvania style, but i'd love to see Castlevania return to it's roots.
One blueprint showed that this design is a little bit smaller as well as having a concave in the back versus being flat. I don't know if it was real but it would seem so.
I would also like to recommend the album Hymns of Light and Shadows which has some classic Zelda tunes played on an electric guitar. It is free so go check it out.

Re: Nintendo Download: 30th November 2012 (Europe) - Wii U Edition
Uhh I don't live in Europe but isn't 50 pounds about the equivalent of 80 dollars? That's a ridiculous price for any game.
Re: Molyneux: "I Struggle To See Anything Amazing Coming Out Of Nintendo"

Re: Podcast: NLFM Episode 23: Revenge of the Halloween Hootenanny
Today is now epic!
Re: Tekken Tag Tournament 2 Wii U Download Will Be Cheaper Than Retail
If my math is correct, then it's about 60 dollars retail vs 54 as a download.
Re: Review: Professor Layton and the Miracle Mask (3DS)
Just finished The Curious Village last night and the series definitely has a new fan.

Re: Nintendo Download: 18th October 2012 (Europe)

Re: Review: Samurai G (3DS eShop)
Sorry that you had to review this game Jon. We all feel the pain and suffering.

My body is ready for Wii U because I can play Nintendo Land with all 5 family members.
Obviously I would want a family pass XD.
Re: Don't Expect A Game To Celebrate Mega Man's 25th Birthday
Between this and the blatant laziness in excluding online form MH3U, my hate for Capcom has been ignited again.
Re: Review: Zelda II: The Adventure of Link (3DS eShop / NES)
Beating this game without restore points was a hefty challenge, but one that I enjoyed a lot. I prefer this over the first game so well deserved 8.
Re: Round Up: Wii U Launch Window Games
I thought only Nintendo Land and New Super Mario Bros U were confirmed for NA launch so far.
Re: Round Up: Wii U Launch Window Games
Looks pretty sweet to me. I hope Batman Arkham City is a launch day title or at least before Christmas. I also thought Trine 2 was confirmed to be available at launch but maybe i'm wrong.
Re: Live: Wii U Preview

Re: Check Out Dinosaur Planet, Before it Was Invaded by Star Fox
This is actually really funny since i'm playing the game right now.
Re: Review: Yoshi's Island DS (DS)
Yeah the original was better, but this is not a bad game by any stretch of the imagination. The original has more nostalgia for me but I still enjoyed this game very much. If the SNES Yoshi's Island is a 10/10 this is a 8.5/10 for me.

Re: E3 2012: Pre-E3 Nintendo Direct Round Up
I hope they do something for the 3DS at e3. They have to be working on games and we still need info on the games announced last year.
Re: E3 2012: Your First Look at Super Mario Bros. on Wii U
I know everyone is getting down on New Super Mario Bros but this already looks like Nintendo is doing new things with the game. The hand drawn backgrounds look nice and the people talking about flying squirrel suits and baby yoshis that balloon up, not to mention the world map has me very excited.
Re: Talking Point: Why Gaming Needs E3
E3 is like Christmas to me. It is without a doubt the most exciting gaming event of the year. You know you're hyped for E3 when you have dreams about it
Re: New Castlevania Title Confirmed for 3DS
This is why I love Nintendo Power.
Re: Review: de Blob (Wii)
Having so much fun with the game right now. I don;t see any major camera issues so far and you can move it if needed so no big deal. I personally like the jump mapped to flicking the remote, it just feels good. The art style is great and the funky jazz tunes are exceptional.
Re: Ubisoft to Reveal Wii U Games on 4th June
Can't wait for Rayman Legends!
Re: Rumour: Castlevania Title in Development for 3DS
Castlevania is best in 2D and the 3DS could do some fantastic spritework. Who else want it to be a classic platformer? Nothing wrong with the Metroidvania style, but i'd love to see Castlevania return to it's roots.
