Oh good Sonic Advance! Never got to play any of the Advance series. Come to think of it, Sonic Battle is probably the only Sega game I had on GBA. Hope they release plenty of their gems on the eShop!
This would complete the original Mega Man series releases. All that's left now are the 4 (actually 8) Battle Network games and the 2 Zero games.
I agree that physical versions of games would have been preferable. I was robbed of several games last year. Two of them were The Wonderful 101 and Game & Wario.
Digital restructure? How about some Vrtual Console focus then? Maybe even some classic ports that people have been practically begging for? No? Well, have fun wallowing in the mobile market quicksand then.
Went with 64. I would have gone with 8 except for one detail I really didn't like: You can only have one item at a time (unless you have the Crazy 8). For me this really hurt the strategy of the game and it ends up feeling like a downgrade from previous installments.
@Yorumi I found Cut Man and Bomb Man to be on par in difficulty, but with stages Cut Man has less obstacles and some of them are slower and easier to maneuver around. There's only one of those large enemies at the very end and regardless of if it hits them they should be able to just run through it unless they get confused.
Given that almost every character I didn't want in the game is in the roster, I would gladly pay to have anyone included in the game if given the option.
@Takerkaneanite6 Yeah, even if it's not everyone's go to system you'd have to be insane to think the Wii U isn't doing well anymore. And things are only looking to get better for it.
If there's a workaround like the one described in the article, as well as a thorough explanation of the workaround for those who don't understand it, then there's not really a problem.
A trading card game that can be played locally with cards or online with the Gamepad would be awesome! You could even earn and trade for digital versions of the cards you don't have!
I expect a few surprising announcements. It'll be interesting to hear if they have any 3DS games besides Pokémon in the works, and hopefully they'll elaborate more on amiibo outside of Smash.

Re: Monster Hunter 4 Ultimate Sales Meet Capcom Expectations, Despite Overall Company Sales Being Down
Mediocre performance by a mediocre company. No surprise here.

Re: Club Nintendo Goes Rewards Crazy With Final Update in North America
@Samuel-Flutter Elite status rewards have always been free.
Re: Club Nintendo Goes Rewards Crazy With Final Update in North America
@shigulicious I got one for Mario Galaxy 2, but not for Punch-Out!! and MPT.
Re: Flipnote Studio 3D Arrives in North America This Week
I'll get it, but it's pretty much useless to me. : /
Re: Club Nintendo Goes Rewards Crazy With Final Update in North America
I'm really not impressed. XD

Re: Three New LEGO Games Heading for Nintendo Hardware in 2015
They need to leggo of Lego for awhile... : /
Re: Nintendo Stays in Profit With Wii U on Target, Though 3DS Sales Fall
Boom.
Re: Link’s Swimming is a Notable Change in The Legend of Zelda: Majora’s Mask 3D
I'd be okay with this... if the Magic Shield didn't make such an awful ear-piercing sound!
Re: Xenoblade Chronicles X Will Feature An "Outstanding" Voice Cast
Considering the main city of the game is called Neo Los Angeles, it would be pretty silly to use an entirely British cast.
Re: Gallery: Feast Your Eyes on the Super Mario and Super Smash Bros. Wave 4 amiibo
PK Want!
Re: Nintendo Download: 15th January (North America)
If the indie sales are the same as Europe then I should be able to get Chasing Aurora, Teslagrad and SteamWorld Dig.
Re: Watch: Catch Up With the North American, European and Japanese Nintendo Direct Broadcasts
Fire Emblem if? Like... Shin Megami Tensei: if...?
Re: Capcom Licenses a Mega Man Runner for Android in Korea... Yes, Really
This was actually painful to watch. A big, broken mess. This craptacular company is absolutely beyond salvation.
Re: Weirdness: Japanese Rock Legend Gackt Has Finally Beaten Mega Man 2
2:26 ...What the heck was that?!
Re: Here's a Handy amiibo Compatibility Infographic
There's a Shiek amiibo? Since when?
Re: Poll: Which is the Best Mario Kart Game?

Re: Capcom Has Now Sold 1.2 Million Copies of Super Street Fighter IV 3D Edition
Yawn.

Re: Video: Today's Teens Simply Cannot Handle The Insane Challenge Of Mega Man
They should have done the following:
1. Give the kids an instruction manual of some kind.
2. Have them take on Cut Man's stage.
Re: Sega Looking To Turn Streets Of Rage, Shinobi, Altered Beast And Crazy Taxi Into Movies And TV Shows
Altered Beast would make a good Tokusatsu styled show. Shinobi and Streets Of Rage could be interesting too.
Re: Sony Pictures Is In Negotiations With Nintendo To Make A Super Mario Movie
I don't mind... as long as it's after Sony fix their crap security. And Nintendo will be overseeing every detail of course.
Re: Video: Teens Test Their Skills On Super Smash Bros. For Wii U
And this just proves how much Charizard sucks.
Re: Sonic Boom is Doing Pretty Well!
I find it hard to believe that the first season is comprised of eight 15 minute segments. I think they're just delaying the rest of the episodes.
Anyways the show is okay, save for Amy, who's very annoying and Buffles, who's a total idiot sometimes.
Re: Review: Watch Dogs (Wii U)
This is a sensible score. I agree with this.
Re: Soapbox: Sonic, It's Time to Talk
I didn't think Colors was as good as most people on here are making it out to be. Lost World was way better.
Re: Sakurai Explains Why Ridley Is Not A Playable Fighter In Super Smash Bros.
Ridley, a truly threatening presence? Since when? He's like, the easiest Metroid boss ever.
Re: Masahiro Sakurai Explains Why Mewtwo Isn't Paid DLC in Smash Bros.
Given that almost every character I didn't want in the game is in the roster, I would gladly pay to have anyone included in the game if given the option.
Re: DK: King of Swing Looks Set for a Western Wii U Virtual Console Release
The game is set to release this Thursday for $6.99. Maybe they're planning to release the DKC/DKL Trilogies on Thanksgiving?
Re: Sony: PS Vita Is Better Than 3DS And The Wii Brand Is A "Shadow Of Its Former Self"
@Takerkaneanite6 Yeah, even if it's not everyone's go to system you'd have to be insane to think the Wii U isn't doing well anymore. And things are only looking to get better for it.
Re: Eiji Aonuma Discusses Changes On the Way to Majora's Mask 3D
Gyorg was easy to defeat. The Great Bay Temple was a pain to navigate though. Especially if you're trying to get all the Stray Fairies.
Re: Sony: PS Vita Is Better Than 3DS And The Wii Brand Is A "Shadow Of Its Former Self"
The Vita has nothing going for it. You can't even say it's on life support at this point.
Re: Twili Midna Joins The Battle In Upcoming Hyrule Warriors DLC Pack
Man, I was hoping for Ashei, but whatever. Here's hoping Happy Mask Salesman is part of the next pack!
Re: Nintendo Outlines Confusing amiibo Save Data Limitations
If there's a workaround like the one described in the article, as well as a thorough explanation of the workaround for those who don't understand it, then there's not really a problem.
Re: Nintendo Download: 6th November (North America)
So many games this week! <3
Also for anyone wondering, there are some additions and enhancements in Super Mario Advance that justify it's release.
Re: Nintendo Discusses Plans for amiibo Cards, Franchises Like Animal Crossing Under Consideration
A trading card game that can be played locally with cards or online with the Gamepad would be awesome! You could even earn and trade for digital versions of the cards you don't have!
Re: Pikmin Short Movies Available to Buy Now on Wii U and 3DS
I want it. Not just because I like Pikmin, but also because I want more films like this.
Re: The Original NES Duck Hunt Is Coming Soon To The Virtual Console On Wii U
Hope this leads to other Zapper games like Hogan's Alley, Wild Gunman and Gumshoe!
Re: Review: Pier Solar and the Great Architects (Wii U eShop)
Pfft. I've played even older games like Final Fantasy and Phantasy Star and enjoyed them. This should be fun as well.
Re: Mario Kart 8 Software Update Will Unlock amiibo Functionality With Themed Mii Racing Suits
Awesome that amiibo support is confirmed at launch. Maybe they'll add support for other figures as time passes.
Re: Pikachu Takes Centre Stage at Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade
Sure it's not Snowpoké?
Re: New Nintendo Direct Airing 5th November
I expect a few surprising announcements. It'll be interesting to hear if they have any 3DS games besides Pokémon in the works, and hopefully they'll elaborate more on amiibo outside of Smash.
Re: SEGA Confirms Second Batch of 3D Classics for the West
Outrun! <3
Re: Retro City Rampage Gets Beefed Up on WiiWare With 'DX' Update
That's awesome. I'll have to update mine now.
By the way, is it alright if I use the SD card I used for the system transfer to bring LostWinds over, or should I use a different card?
Re: Interview: Rocky Morton On The Chaos Of Directing The Super Mario Bros. Movie
He messed up. It's not Mario and Luigi the video game company is talking to at the end, it's Iggy and Spike.
Re: I ♥ Virtual Console: Monster Party Is The Wackiest Halloween Classic You'll Never Play
SORRY, I'M DEAD.
Re: Walmart Display Shows Us Which amiibo Are Compatible With Mario Kart 8, And More
Even if it's just for minor details, i'd like to see more compatibility with all amiibo figures. Like, extra karts in MK8 or something.
