I think that Nintendo has gotten carried away with all their Mario spinoffs. They've already created a spinoff of Mario Party? What's next, Mario Darts?
When will Nintendo release Back to the Future, Nightmare on Elm Street, Jaws, Friday the 13th, Karate Kid, Incredible Crash Dummies, Bill & Ted, Terminator 2, or Roger Rabbit?
The fact is, Nintendo must be skeptical about the success of their old games. Third party games are held back due to licensing issues. This "shovelware" issue is because they are from cheap developers who are just starting out.
And here come the "no VC?!" pessimists again. When will you guys learn that the VC only appeals to a certain audience and the third parties want to focus on everyone right now.

Re: New Super Mario Bros. 2
I must really suck because I actually got a game over.
Re: Nintendo Download: 10th January 2013 (North America)
I'm getting a Steam card so I can get Myst V, Polynesia on Civ V, and the King's Quest Collection.
Re: Review: Punch-Out!! Featuring Mr. Dream (3DS eShop / NES)
It's on Club Nintendo right now. Maybe I'll get it.
Re: SNES Classic SimCity Removed From Wii Virtual Console
The Virtual Console is becoming passé. It's not new anymore. Developers are losing interest as youngsters move on to the Wii U.
Re: SNES Classic SimCity Removed From Wii Virtual Console
The computer version is better.
Re: Donkey Kong Country Trilogy To Be Pulled From Wii Virtual Console
Oh, only in Europe. Whew. Sorry for you guys, though.

Re: Review: Christmas Wonderland 2 (DSiWare)
Holiday video games are never good.
Re: Review: Wii Play: Motion (Wii)
Asking for it for my birthday. I hope it's like Wii Sports Resort and not a demo disc.
Re: Animal Crossing: City Folk
I've had this game for less than a month and I love it.
Re: Sonic & All-Stars Racing Transformed
Sounds dumb. Danica Patrick, whose NASCAR career has made people forget she was even an Indy Driver, is now in a Sonic game. Blasted corporatism.
Re: Nintendo Download: 12th April 2012 (North America)
Looks like Nintendo is holding out til summer.
Re: Nintendo Download: 12th April 2012 (North America)
Oh, good grief. Just use ebay.
Just be glad that Nintendo is releasing anything at all.
Re: Talking Point: Is Nintendo Over-Reliant on Super Mario?
Nintendo needs to cool it with Mario and start developing the franchises they have chosen to revive/futher emphasize.
Re: Talking Point: Is Nintendo Over-Reliant on Super Mario?
The Mario games have indeed become rapidfire lately. Nintendo needs to cool it.

Re: Rumour: Wii U Components Cost $180, Will Retail at $300
Wait, so the tablet-like controller thingy is extra? That's too bad.
Re: Nintendo Download: 5th April 2012 (North America)
When will Nintendo release Back to the Future, Nightmare on Elm Street, Jaws, Friday the 13th, Karate Kid, Incredible Crash Dummies, Bill & Ted, Terminator 2, or Roger Rabbit?
Those are all time classics!

Re: Pokémon Conquest Heading to DS in June
Isn't this against what Pokemon was originally about?
Re: Review: Dr. Mario (3DS Virtual Console / Game Boy)
@Morpheel Good point about the colors. It's pointless in black and white. 5/10.
Re: Review: 90's Pool (DSiWare)
I think 90s means 90 degree angle.
Re: 90's Pool
90s as in 90 degree angles? Or 90s as in 1990s?
Re: Nintendo Download: 29th March 2012 (North America)
Duck Tales will never come. It's Disney.

Re: Review: Dr. Mario (3DS Virtual Console / Game Boy)
7/10 for me.

Re: Epic Mickey on 3DS is a Castle of Illusion Sequel
A Castle of Illusion sequel?
Now, if only Disney would allow the original to be re-released.

3D: too gimmicky
Price: initially rather high
Gyroscope: hardly used
Apps: dull
Internet: good
Storage: excellent

Super Mario 3D Land
Super Street Fighter IV
Ocarina of Time 3D
Star Fox 64 3D
Mario Kart 7
Id est, every 3DS game I've ever owned.
Re: Feature: Kid Icarus: Uprising - What the Review Couldn't Tell You
According to CN, the bonus points expire today. Dang.
Re: Nintendo Download: 22nd March 2012 (North America)
Why do we get pessimistic whiners every single week?
Re: Nintendo Download: 22nd March 2012 (North America)
@Dak_n_Jaxter Are you an ambassador? If so, you must really prefer the original. If not, it does suck that we have to wait so long.
Re: Nintendo Download: 22nd March 2012 (North America)

I like it. Hoping to get the others eventually.
Re: Review: Kid Icarus: Uprising (3DS)
Maybe I'll just get this for Christmas.
Re: Nintendo Download: 22nd March 2012 (Europe)
Dr. Mario? Hm...
Re: Review: Kid Icarus: Uprising (3DS)
Will be getting it, but not at launch.
Re: Feature: The Life and Times of SEGA's Game Gear
I have a true respect for the Game Gear, having owned one as a kid. I loved that thing. I had the battery potato, so no problems for me.
Re: Feature: Obscure Series That Should Return on Wii U
Super Mario Land 3 (Wario Land doesn't count).
Re: Feature: Obscure Series That Should Return on Wii U
How about a new game with Pauline as the damsel in distress? Or daisy.
Re: Feature: Obscure Series That Should Return on Wii U
A Super Off Road remake?
Re: Feature: Obscure Series That Should Return on Wii U
Ice Climber!
Re: SEGA Drops Four Sonic Games from Japanese VC
I have them on cartridge, DS, and Wii. I'm fine. Plus, it's only in Japan. Sega wouldn't harm North America, where Sonic has a huge fanbase.
Re: Nintendo Download: 15th March 2012 (North America)
@Samholy: The Game Gear rocked. It was just too ahead of its time, is all.
Please tell me Columns comes next week!
Re: Nintendo Download: 15th March 2012 (North America)
@Capt N: It's actually been slowly reviving for the third straight week now.
I'll be getting TT in about thirty minutes.
