Oh! A debate about a BPlus game! Why am I not surprised? , their games can't be that bad if there ARE people who like them, but why are BPlus games always debatable "Love it or Hate it"? mmm (imagine The Twilight Zone music).
Seriously, this is all again a matter of taste, and only the ones that have actually played the game can say why they like it or hate it; but it is true that the review sounds a bit rushed. I'll read a bunch of reviews (actually read them, scores doesn't work with BPlus games), before making up my mind about this one, it still sounds like fun for only $6 thou.
I'm with Kid_A, KS8 and Raddixs, not planning to support tweeter in any way, but I understand NL needs the promotion, I hope it works , good luck to everybody.
Everybody is right it looks a lot like Lost Winds, but it seems to have more classical platforming elements, which is great, I hope to be able to get it when it comes out. btw I'm not a mushroom either , just for you to know.
@Stuffgamer1 Thanks , I read about it and I made some research, man, those videos made me want that game badly, it's so colorful for a SMS game, and I also liked the music, it just appealed to me a lot, I've been hoping we'll get it since last september, and is finally here ; next week I'll be getting some wiipoints for it, Bit.Trip Core, and Cave Story (It has to come out on july for crying out loud).
Well, I WANT Fantasy Zone ll, and I don't care what Aquateen510 said, I've been waiting like forever for it and I'm very pleased with Nintendo finally uploading it, thank you Nintendo!!!
Today Wiiware is really meh, even Water Warefare doesn't seem to be deep enough, but I may give it a shot in the future.
Good score, but I don't feel like reading another review of this game, I liked it as much as most Zelda games, but being honest all these 3D Zelda games are awfully similar too each other, they're good and fun, but nothing really special.
Didn't get the winner joke, I read it and read it until I got it, it ain't funny at all imo, but who knows, the world is filled with different sence of humor; still couldn't stop laughing at BulbasaurusRex's one lol. Anyway, congratulations to the winner.
This week seems OK to me, I can't say anything about the Wiiware games but at least one looks good, waiting for reviews in here. The VC game is good, or so I've heard, I don't like simulators thou . And, as I've always said, if it is ArtStyle it is good, not overwhelmingly good, but still good. Really hoping for Cave Story for next week.
@KS8 I didn't get to thank you for the nice Let's Catch review, it was awesome, it really put the game on my wishlist . I'm also eager to read your impressions on NEVES plus.
I'm with GabeGreens, I don't understand Twitter at all, and I don't want to make an account there, that service just seems so pointless, It's a shame NL used this method, because I really could use some wiipoints.
Wow, great review Drake, didn't expected that much from this game, seems like a must have to me, lets wait and see, when NOA decides to release it over here.
I liked that movie too, that cut scene at the end, with those japanese wanting to make a game with the koopa guys, was hilarious when I was a kid; I believe I still have the VHS mmm where could it be? .
I'm sorry for you Mervelous, you make some great games, but I have my own financial problems to deal with, which is very sad, no Little King's Story nor Muramasa for me .
The graphics are not good that's for sure, but what really puts me down is that you only fight other dragons, no enemies, no flying courses, not what I expected.
@KS8 Thanks for the impressions, curiously, after I saw the Nintendo Channel video of this I found it charming, and after what you wrote I may give it a go in the future (out of money right now); I'd like to read your review too .
It doesn't call my attention as it did when it was mentioned for the first time, the visuals seem a bit too styled, I prefer more classical platformers, still, lets wait and see what the review has to say.
I liked the little Rosalina's story on SMG too, it is OK to have a nice, simple and yet intelligent plot to follow on in this kind of games, of course there must be a balance, you don't want the story to slow down the accion on platformers and you don't want to have to play through half of an RPG before you get a piece of the story; but, the princess lured by a cake, c'mon the plot doesn't need to be a Shakespeare's drama but I'm sure even a child could make up something better than that, maybe lured by a free baking class.
Not a bad update, but Eduardo is the only game I'm considering, I'm eagerly waiting for the review, maybe KS8 and sirgrim impressions, thanks guys.
About the rest, I'd prefered the original Rainbow Islands to hit VC, and the catch game is just not my cup of tea, nor is Space Harrier, but happy for everyone waiting for it .
Oh, there was something for DSiware... ew forget what I said .
I just log on to see if anything interesting pop up and yeah! Starfy's review, Great work Corbie! Take care of that hand, I hope you get well soon .
I'm getting this game for sure I'm already saving my money, lets help, so this gets to be just the first of many more, old and new, Starfy localisations.
@Stuffgamer1 Seriously you don't know what you're missing by not downloading DoReMi Fantasy, you can read the story on the internet, or DL the fan translated ROM, after you purchase it legally of course.
It looks good, but I'm worried about the gameplay, it seemed that all the eras were played in almost the same way, didn't expect that, mmm I still hope this turns out right.
Whenever I buy a Dsi, this will be my first DL, I love the DS version so much and this one seems even better, sadly it's gonna take awhile for me to get a Dsi
I'm still debating about getting a 360 or a PS3 for a side gaming experience, but it's definitely not an upgrade, I will never get rid of my Wii EVER. Now, Sony were really stupid when they remove BC from the PS3, since that was my major reason to get it, sigh I may try and search for an older model.
Yeah, this one I've been waiting for, it looks good, I'll save my points for next week and wait for the review; may the reviewers decide I should get it? .
@KS8 Mmm maybe I should get GofT, I've heard a lot of good things about it, I'm also considering AI:TB and even Fish'em all (it attracts me somehow); I have 900 points left, I wanted to save them for Cave Story but, being realistic, I really doubt it will cost less than 1000 points.
The Dsiware rate is a great idea , I'll make a list, I'll check all the reviews here at NL to help me out, but I already know Minis March Again is what I'm getting first , but you got a point, when does the 1000 free points offer expires?
@KS8 lol Yep, is worth it now, , actually I have to buy it someday anyway for my Nintendo Hardware collection, but I finally find a game I desperately want to play on it, since I love March of the Minis. Btw how good is Gate of thunder? did you like it?
Not a bad update but, If Nibtendo wanted to make and strategy combo, What the heck is Fish'em all doing here? . Anyway, if I wanted a koei game I'd get Nobunaga's, or UW, this one seems kind of pointless, but not bad, I guess. I'd get S&S later on, I hope, and I may get the fish game too, I liked the look of it's frantic gameplay. I'd really like to get to play Minis March Again!, so I'm officially wanting a DSi now, which I can't buy , maybe someday.
