These still to this day are my favorites of the Pokemon series. At the time it was amazing that it not only included the new region of Johto, but also a "few years later" approach to Kanto as well. Add to that a bunch of new and interesting Pokemon, along with the new types and the amazing final confrontation between you and Trainer Red, and you've got one heck of a journey that was only made better by the DS remakes.
Before I get a bunch of replies, I know there's work to be done on it. The visuals need some clean-up and the controls need to be refined, etc. But still, I was very much looking forward to playing this later this month. Oh well, bring on Spring!
The first game is brutal. So brutal in fact that I loved it. Never expected to hear about a sequel, but man I really can't wait to get more details! FreakZone is slowly becoming one of my favorite developers.
If I buy anything this week it'll be one of the Indie games for sale. I enjoyed Mario Tennis but not enough to upgrade from the Wii VC version I already have.
I don't care how it looks for the mot part... don't care whether GamePad is optional or mandatory... and I certainly don't care about online multiplayer--I'm still just as excited for this as I was when it was first announced last year. I can't wait! Definitely a day one purchase, no question about it!
Since its reveal last year, I thought the GamePad controls seemed like a cool idea. With that being said, chances are my friends will want to try it with a conventional control option.
I know people can't stand MP:FF, but I've been willing to give it a chance ever since the initial reveal yesterday. Sure, it looks... different, and there's no Samus in sight, but the series is called Metroid, not Samus. Not every Metroid game needs to star Samus, even if it feels weird saying or thinking of that. I'm looking forward to trying it.
I know people will disagree, but whatev's. I still can't wait to try it.
@JWeb23 Maybe out of place was the wrong term, my bad. It's just... so unexpected. I'm definitely not gonna argue it, it's pretty darn cool he's gonna be part of Smash Bros. I can't wait to get the DLC for sure
Both are great characters--even if Ryu seems a bit out of place for Smash Bros.--but stuff like this is what makes me despise the internet sometimes. Something really cool for the fans, probably to get announced during Sakurai's presentation tomorrow, and people have to leak it before the time comes. I praise the leaker for finding these out, but at the same time boo them for spoiling one of the many surprises that help make E3 great.
First off, I'll start by saying I've only had a passive interest in this game since I've owned a Wii U--I liked the idea of a racing sim on the console and saw its potential, but wasn't too sure if I'd buy it day one, for example.
With that out of the way, I'm very disappointed by the way they're handling this now. At this point, I'm used to third-party games not coming to Wii U. It's no shock to me anymore. The console hasn't sold terribly well and the user base is small. If developers don't want to bring their games to Wii U, that's their choice. They're a business first--they have to make money in order to keep going and all that.
However, don't turn it around back at us, Slightly Mad. It wasn't always a maybe. Ever since I could remember, you talked of bringing Project Cars to Wii U, like it was a for-sure thing. I remember all the articles where you'd tout how great it's looking on the console. Heck, don't believe me, do a search on this very website, I'm sure they'll pop up. It's your word against your own word, not ours.
If you want to shelve it until NX, that's your deal. But I promise by then I'll probably have forgotten about Project Cars. It'll be up to you to find some way to sweeten it enough to make it worth the interest. Good luck.
Was able to get all the featured games for $10.50! The only one I had was Moon Chronicles. If you've never tried any of these games and you've got some money to spend, this is completely worth it!
Pac-Man is one of my first gaming memories growing up. After setting up the NES and playing Mario when I was about five, I popped in a Tengen cart of Pac-Man and played away! And the game never gets old either. Heck, I admit I even like Pac-Man 2 The New Adventures. And when Pac-Man was announced for Smash I was beyond excited about it!

Re: Nintendo Download: 5th November (North America)
Hey, look! So many people whined about Virtual Console offerings on Wii U that Nintendo didn't even bother this time around.
Re: Random: Whoops, Toys "R" Us is Listing Star Fox Zero for November in Its Catalogue
One of those rare times I wish it was for real.

Re: Sonic The Hedgehog Titles Being Pulled From The Wii Virtual Console
Well I'm glad I have them all downloaded already just in case they don't come back, but it's possible they'll arrive on Wii U's VC... Eventually.
Re: Nintendo Download: 29th October (North America)
I'm going to take advantage of the discount on Resident Evil Revelations for Wii U and have a fun Halloween
Re: Nintendo Download: 24th September (North America)
I'll pass for this week; Mario Maker and Plague of Shadows still have me plenty busy for now.
Re: Nintendo Download: 17th September (North America)
Shovel Knight DLC!

It will always be Super Mario World. Sorry.
Re: Wii U Offers "The Best Realisation Of The Second Screen Experience", Says Watchup CEO
I've downloaded it. It's actually a really cool news app! A far cry from the News Channel on Wii.
Re: Nintendo Download: 3rd September (North America)
Gunman Clive for sure!

Nothing wrong with getting Sin and Punishment again ^_^

Maybe Blaster Master.

Re: Obituary: Satoru Iwata
@ThomasBW84 Very well said. This has been a beautiful and informative read. Iwata's legacy will endure, even though he'll be missed dearly.

I love how these look! I'd love to get one or two of 'em.

Re: Analogue Nt Starts Shipping To Buyers, Pitched As "The Leica Of Home Consoles"
They're $500?!
Nah man, for that price I'll just repair my NES and deal with a less-than-stellar picture quality. And greatly increase my NES library
Re: The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time is Hitting the Wii U Virtual Console Very Soon
When it releases in North America I'll definitely get it because... well, I mean, it's Ocarina of Time!
Re: Nintendo Download: 25th June (North America)
Star Fox Command's the only one in the series I haven't played--aside from Zero of course --so I'm definitely going for that.

So what time can I expect this to be available? I need this immediately.
I'm so happy about this I can only hope this means Mother 3 is coming soon

Re: Nintendo Download: 11th June (North America)
Most likely Dr. Mario
Re: Mighty No. 9 Signature Edition Will Not Be Available For Wii U
Very ouch, but I can't say I blame them. Besides, I've got a much cooler Mega Man-"inspired" figure anyway.
Re: Splatoon 1.2.0 Update Promises A More Pleasant Gaming Experience
@Shiryu I agree with this. The GamePad integration's great, but having the Pro Controller option would be nice.
Re: Nintendo Download: 4th June (North America)
I might be too busy leveling up in Splatoon this weekend, but it's cool AVGN Adventures is on 3DS.
Re: 3DS System Update 9.8.0-25 Launches With More Stability Than You Can Deal With
Now it's so stable I don't need to give it supports--it can stand and walk on its own.

Splatoon. Was there ever a doubt really?
And yes, I'm gonna go for a retail download.

Re: Review: Splatoon (Wii U)
Still deciding whether I should wait until later, or go ahead and trade some stuff in for this on Friday. I had a blast playing Global Testfire
Re: Nintendo Wanted To Make Its Humble Bundle A Global Offer, Expects To Do So "Eventually"
