"Lego-izing could be cool, but at the same time we wanted to keep what made these games great in the first place. We wanted to open people's eyes up to the fact that good games are good games no matter how old they are."

Guess what game just become one of the tops on my wishlist.

I so want to buy that.

@Magrane The game was ported, not emulated. IOW, they rewrote the game's code.

@Crono1973 Alright then smartass, you go on over to GBAtemp and other such sites and flout about your expansive knowledge of how X system should be able to emulate Z system's games, and you see their response.

@Crono1973 When it comes to the most bare bones games, yeah. But, as far as SNES games with anything as simple a few animation layes, speed and quality drop like a rock.

The PSP isn't anywhere near powerful enough to have full SNES emulation without any problems. The 3DS (Both of them) are in the same boat no matter how you spin it.

@Crono1973 It has nothing to do with power, but it all has to do with architecture. First off, the PSP has a similar processor and achitecture to the PS1 which takes a lot of the weight off since they don't have to really redirect that much of the emulation process. Meanwhile, the SNES and GBA have a completely different architecture to the 3DS, so the emulators put enormous strain on the 3DS' CPU because it has to mask everything instead if just a few processes.

Also, yes, SNES and GBA emulation do require a lot of power. They need at least 3 GHz worth to work 100% properly on mobile devices, meanwhile the New 3DS barely has 1 GHz at its disposal.

@justinr Yes there is. Both the old 3DS and New 3DS do not have enough power to emulate SNES games (And the GBA console is more than double the power of the SNES). So, their only alternative is to do what they did early on, which is have the GBA roms played through a back door found in the DS backwards compatibility of the console. However, doing that prevents the console from going into sleep mode and removes the possibility of save states (Because it's acting exactly like a real DS would with a GBA game inserted).

@bro2dragons I was able to find physical copy of the game (In like new condition) for 3 bucks less on Tuesday. IMO, the digital copy should be about $20 on default since it was released almost 5 years ago.

As for any of the games, I'm tempted to get Sin & Punishment in addition to the recent release of Metroid: ZM.

Excuse me for sound a bit winey (And I have enough cheese to go with it), but why hasn't ANYONE made one of these for the Saturn? The only damn console out there that is almost impossible to emulate properly.

On the discussion the NX, I always thought that was going to be Nintendo's "smartphone" or something along the lines of that, or even perhaps an alternative to the 3DS. Not a new home console.

Also, even if Nintendo were to announce their next home, I wouldn't expect to see an official announcement until next year's E3, at the earliest.

@PanurgeJr I thought The Last Guardian was cancelled sometime last year.

On another note, with the renewal to the ED trademark, and the still hurting loss of Silent Hills, why not see if Del Toro could make an official sequel to ED. I keep hearing people say how they want to see what happens with him at the helm of a video game, here's as good of a chance as any.

The one thing I'd like to know is if it plays GBC cartridges. The site only talks about GBA cartridges.

I have to say, this is quite interesting with them including third-party titles on the list.

I'll see who I can find that hasn't been mentioned yet in the provided picture (Wakko, Travis, Mega Man,):

All three versions of Lara Croft
Jade from BG&E (Though I've always heard about the GC version of that, never the PS2 version)
There is a Green Lantern
It looks like they used Leon Kennedy's RE4 model (Which was originally a GC exclusive)
The character from Steamworld Dig (Though I thought that was really big on the 3DS)
Shepard from Mass Effect (Originally a 360 exclusive)

And, that's all I have time for right now.

If @TheRealThanos is correct, and I'm a bit hesitant to say he is since it is an internet comment, I get the feeling that Nintendo was going to win the suit, but instead told Philips that they can interchange tech, because of Philips presence in the medical industry, if they drop the whole thing.

It's either that or Philips realized how little they would get from this case if they won, because of how outrageous their claim is, so instead went with interchanging things with Nintendo in hopes of making even more.

@Discostew
Great job buddy. While I have the MM Collection for my GC, I think I'll still download this to play on the road.

@Zwayne93
In that case, just get a GameCube and a GBA Player.

@unrandomsam

I was gonna criticize your comment, but now that I think about it, aren't Amiibos sort of the next iteration in what ROB was supposed to be?

Being an LPer myself, though still starting out, I don't really have anything to say against this. The only thing I'm worried about is if Nintendo will allow us to monetize videos containing their content. The reason why is because I'd be more likely to play a game from a publisher that allows us to monetize rather than a publisher that doesn't.

As people have said above, we're making money off of their content, so we have to play by their rules.

To those people saying "It's 2014, Same Sex Marriage should be univerally allowed",

Not even a majority of the states in the US allow for same sex marriage. Also, in same states, they aren't called same sex marriage, they're called civil unions. The only difference between the two is the name.

"Level of Pokémon event experience"

What do we put down for that?

@TheItalianBaptist
I would love for them to do that. Have TPP set up a Stream for both Gold and Silver, and have it be a race to see which would finish the game first.

@vattodev
According to Nintendo, ROMs aren't considered illegal unless you didn't make copy that you're using.

So, if the guy who made TPP made the ROM from his own copy of the game, then he's perfectly fine. But, if he downloaded the ROM from the internet, then Nintendo can sue him.

This better not die. I want them to see it through to the end.

Hope it turns out.

"The same thing happens when we try to port Nintendo 3DS software to Wii U."

I guess Kid Icarus and Luigi's Mansion could be coming to the Wii U.

I would love for them to do another Shattered Memories game. If they actually did, it would give a good excuse to bring back James from SH2.

Does my e-mail address need to be the same for me to link my accounts?

NEW! NEW! NEW! NEW! NEW! NEW! NEW! NEW! NEW! NEW! NEW! NEW! NEW! NEW! NEW! NEW! NEW! NEW!

There's going to be a world premiere!

http://gonintendo.com/?mode=viewstory&id=218232

I'm going in expected a trailer for X, Smash Bros., or (most likely) Donkey Kong.

Now, what would be really impressive is if Nintendo announces something completely out of left field (IOW something that isn't Zelda, Star Fox, Metroid, F-Zero, or any other game that is highly demanded, and/or expected).

Just lost it after the first minute.

For some reason, this game reminds me of Spectrobes more than anything else.

Also, please bring this game stateside.

First FTW

Anyways, it looks interesting. I'm just wondering if it's the game adapted into a movie or if it's talking about the events that happen between Bayonetta 1 and 2.

What systems it's being released on is what I want to know.

You guys put €9.99 instead of $9.99

Anyways, it looks like a decent week

That image brought back so much nostalgia from playing Bionicle on the GC.

I guess that I'm the only one that noticed music from "How to Train Your Dragon" and "Back to the Future" in the trailer.

I think that the reason they stopped development was because of the PS3 port of the game. Sony would have been upset if they were upstaged.

Nevermind, I don't have a Tegra mobile which means the only portable playing of Conduit that I'll get is the 3DS Conduit 2 port when it releases.

Also, as far as getting the game on Android, I think that it's possible that I'l buy it. That way I can play it on the go and play it at home when it comes out.

In all honesty, I really enjoyed playing the first Conduit game. Never got around to playing the second one though. I think it would be great if they did release this game on the Wii U eShop and then come back and release the 3DS port of the second game.

@Knux Cave Story has had a patch for a while, so what are you talking about?

@Peppy_Hare
If they made a game with these graphics, it would be so good. Hello the 80's design, where were you?

If Zelda characters were too look more real, this would be the result:

Thank you Japan.

Where can I get the Mugen battery pack? The battery on my 3DS goes down too fast for my liking.

The Wii U experience that I went to last month tipped the scales for me, but I didn't really convince me to buy it on day one. These recently released videos have finally convinced me to get it. I am so hyped about it.

Actually this is to go along with another Japan exclusive...

The new 3DS Plush. Now you can use your 3DS as a game system, a snuggle tool, and a pillow. It's three objects in one!

If the player is under the age of 18, it is the parents choice of whether they want their child playing the game or not. If you are over 18, you get to choose what you want to play. If your attacking games that have voilence, why not go after movies and books that contain violence as well. This is a subject that should be dead and long forgotten about. End of discussion.

I've known about the release date for over a month now. How come they haven't found it until now?

I just downloaded the REvelations demo and it took me 5 minutes. From that I calculated that it would take me 11.858 minutes to download New Super Mario Bros. 2.. According to my computer, the connection speed of the router is 24.0 Mbps. Hope this helps.
