I'd prefer to have the 3 in 1 adapter for NES, SNES and N64 controllers, but if they made it here I may get one of these for my Nintendo hardware collection.
Not interested, I only buy consoles in their original color, I'd only buy another wii if it had something special besides the color (like the pokemon N64); a black wiimote would be nice thou.
This game must have as much interaction between players as Brawl, which means wifi would be a major fail, gladly their starting to comprehend the limits of the wii's networking. I'm eager to play this game with my friends!
It could end being useful for some new casual software, but even if it would work in some games (like Horror games), I doubt Nintendo will ever use it that way.
I like the Pikmin franchise, but I'm not good at it , I have both Pikmin GC versions unfinished (not planning to get the NPC, I like the original controls), so there's plenty to do before Pikmin 3, I can wait.
Mario Galaxy was as fun as a game can be, but too easy for a 3D platform veteran; I'm hoping the statements about MG2 being a more challenging game are fo real; also 90% new content sounds so promising.
I'm pretty sure you will be able to turn the help off, but I doubt the game itself will be that hard, still, is Mario it has to be fun, I also hope it is long.
So, another good update not getting anything just yet thou, I'm saving my points for Cave Story, but later on I'll download Boulder Dash for sure, I'on the fence at TAY, the "nine chapters" rumors put me off, lets see what the review says. Mighty Flip Champs is the first game to really call my attention on Dsiware, but not enough to get me to buy a $350 DSi.
What a shame, I had my eyes on this one, the arcady style looked like fun, actually I hoped the waggle weren't the only way to control the net since the gameplay seemed too fast paced for it; well maybe NA will get it cheaper, if so I'll give it a go.
@Kawaiipikachu Thanks for the advice, but right now here in Mexico that service is expensive, I had problems with Brawl since I got my pre-ordered copy of the game, so I send my Wii immediately after I heard about a "temporary wii's free service for people having trouble with Brawl", it returned working perfectly, but now after several months, mine is having problems again, and my friend's Wiis just started to have them, currently the only game my wii can't read is Brawl; as it seems the maintenance will be needed periodically, so we all were gonna wait, but, sadly, my best friend's Wii suddenly stop reading any games; he'll get it repaired, as soon as he gets some money.
Who cares?, It wasn't such a great feature anyway, and I can't even play the game on my wii now, nor on my best friend's wii, nor on his girlfriend's wii, seriously that Dual-layer game knows how to break a first edition wii.
Not a bad update, ArtStyle games are always good, a VCA that many have been waiting for, and Fish'em All which actually looks kind of fun, I hope NA will get it soon.
Well, Mexico is videogame pirates paradise, some people even pay to get the homebrew channel in their wiis, I'm very sure the installation of this new application will sell very well, they may even upload the game images to your HD for 3 dollars each. I'm not proud of this, and I would never hack my Wii (i'm a collector, I want my Nintendo consoles and games to stay as original as they can), but I can't blame them, over here videogame prices are crazy and not every game gets here officially. I'd ask you americans Would you buy, lets say, Sonic ATBN, for $75? Couse that's it's official price over here, then we can find it at the "grey" market in $60, and so you have to wait until you find a used copy for the original price USA got it, of course there is internet, but you can't blame me for wishing to just go into any GamePlanet (the videogame store with more franchises over here) and find GameStop prices and games, instead of tracking original titles and good prices in all those obscure and not very legal places I have to go, so yes I understand why piracy it's so huge over here. A problem with changing discs? No, actually I wish I had more wii game discs to have to change.
YAHOOO! Finally Bubble Bobbie+, I've been eagerly waiting for this one , and at 600, how to avoid the download?, I'm on the fence on AI:TB, I'm not a huge fan of the series, but it has some nice differences, I'll just wait and see how much the DLC for BB+ is. On the other hand, I'm not interested on VC, I really prefer the N64 version of Clayfighter, which I have, and that's enough for me; and, even thou Dsiware is getting a little better, still no major game to make me want to purchase a $350 Dsi, woot!
This reminded me of the Pocket Pikachu, I got both versions of the thing, nice little gizmo. More on topic, I remember to have seen some step counters that do almost the same that this "game", I wonder how much will it cost in comparison to those.
Sounds fine, I have the 3 games but I may get this, having all three games in one disc sounds convinient; that is if it isn't a Dual-layer DVD, my wii have many problems reading Smash because of that, so I pass on Dual-layers.
I'm so envious, japan always gets so many games and aps to choose from every week, What about NA? My guess: Nintendo won't release any good stuff here until after the E3.
As much as I love the wiiware version of this game, I don't beleive it has what it takes for a retail game to sell well, still, I may get it later on, when the price drops.
Well I got the three versions (Advance, SP, micro), and still use them now and then, and there's so many games for it out there, so no, I never thought the GB Advance was dead just yet.
Nice update, I'm happy for everyone expecting MM , but nothing for me one more week , I don't like MM that much and I have the original cartridge, I'd only DL R2 if I had money to spare, which I haven't, and I'll wait for a chess game with online; and finally a nice title for Dsiware, luckily still not such a big title to make me want to buy a $350 Dsi.
, so someone heard my prayer, I'm so sick of playing SNES and N64 games with those analog shoulder triggers on the classic controller, (did anyone notice that there is no game in the entire Wii library that uses those as triggers?); also, there is nothing like playing a game with the controller it was made for, I can't wait to use all my old systems controllers on my Wii , I hope the adapter gets easy to find over here.
Thank you for the impressions, this one I'd buy for sure (unless I had no money ), but I'm guessing that is gonna take awhile for it to appear over here .
@KS8 And then you came and broke my illusions into pieces lol. To be honest, just the idea of an NPC version of the game seems to me, due to the existence of MKWii, a very close to impossible thing; I didn't even thought about wi-fi, as you said they aren't adding it to NPC, but Edwin mentioned it, and well, as impossible as it is, we can dream .
For me and my best friend this ain't just one GC game, it's THE GC game, and the best MK of them all, we spend so much time playing it, dominating mini turbos and snaking, avoiding red and blue shells, using short cuts and elaborating our own techniques, this game had so much too offer, but most people never got to discover it's full potential. We entered many tournaments (actually, in one of those my friend met his girlfriend), and he won three consecutive tournaments, he is known as the best MK:DD player in my city, of course, I'm also pretty good too. I'm with Edwin, I'd kill for an NPC version with wi-fi.
So EU got S&S, good for you; and you got a VC after all: Pitfall:TMA, not too shabby . I hope NA gets S&S on monday, but, with the 300 VC game comming, NOA may neglect Wiiware.
Nice review Kaes, and welcome! I don't like videogame board games that much, especially on wiiware, I'm usually a lonely player, and my place is very small so, my friends prefer me to go over theirs to play; still, I recommend good games like Jungle Speed to them, but I won't recommend this to anyone, thank you.
@KS8 You're right, I'm glad for EU too, just a bit envious (I want my Bubble Bobble ), but honestly why can't both regions get similar nice updates?, anyway hoping for the best next week
@KS8 Yes, is based on personal opinion (someone even said it has been 5 or 6 weeks ), but, just compare our update to EU's and, well, I'd really prefer some of those games their getting, Nebulus was fine (I play the free flash version and is a nice little game), and I actually DL Cocoto PJ, which I really enjoyed, but in the overall, you must admit NOA could do a little bit better.
Well nothing for me, also it's the 4th LAAAAME week in a row, and counting, , actually I hope not; still, I don't have high expectations for next week, even with the 300 VC week celebration (specially since my most expected VC releases are Fantasy Zone 2 and some C64 games), I really hope that you all get your very much anticipated N64 title thou. Couldn't care less about wiiware, I somehow knew they would release another X party game this week. And now to the good news, Dsiware got a soccer game, I don't like soccer games, so, for another week, I'm OK with not having a $350 Dsi.
Nice review, this one seems very generic, and I'm a lonely player so, I won't get this, not in a million years.
@maka That's a very good point, I'm not a board game person, but I'd seriously be tempted to buy Jungle Speed or another nice board game wiiware adaptation, if it had online multiplayer.
It will be a hole new franchise that everybody is gonna underestimate at the beginning but then after we play it, we'll admit that is so revolutionary that's gonna change the way we play videogames forever...
, just kidding, I'm with StbAn and Load Runner, it's Pikmin 3.
@Tony, StarDust Thank you for reminding me that you guys at USA have the best price for it , I'm from Mexico and here videogames cost double (I put the price on dollars so everyone get it), that's what I'm mad about.
Mmmm maybe I shouldn't have insulted that pinguin game, I'm not complaining about the quality of it, but about it's type, even if it's the best board game on Wiiware, I would not get it, I'm a lonely player that doesn't like board games, and I just want Cave Story so badly.
LAAAAAME all over again, I mean the C64 game is OK, but wiiware? with all those games ready to go and they give us a stupid casual board game WTF? The Dsiware is the worst, but I can't complain, again, Nintendo is giving me no reason to get a $350 Dsi .

Re: Bplus Announces Bit Boy!!
The concept is good, but if they manage to get the wrong gameplay for even one of the bit generations it'll fail, so I'll wait for some gamplay.
Re: Nintendo Download: Flip Champs, Final Fantasy IV, Boulder Dash (US)

Re: Nintendo To Stop Taking Brawl User Content
@Kawaiipikachu
Thanks for the advice, but right now here in Mexico that service is expensive, I had problems with Brawl since I got my pre-ordered copy of the game, so I send my Wii immediately after I heard about a "temporary wii's free service for people having trouble with Brawl", it returned working perfectly, but now after several months, mine is having problems again, and my friend's Wiis just started to have them, currently the only game my wii can't read is Brawl; as it seems the maintenance will be needed periodically, so we all were gonna wait, but, sadly, my best friend's Wii suddenly stop reading any games; he'll get it repaired, as soon as he gets some money.

Re: Review: Bubble Bobble Plus! (WiiWare)

@earthworm
I second that, at least they should have make them with 16bit sprites instead of the 3D models.
