@Discipledoctor The Sand Pit is new and is unlocked by getting he Fireball. There's also the Machine Gun Challenge, which isn't technically new, but was only included in the Steam version until now

Re: Review: Mega Man IV (3DS eShop / Game Boy)

I completely agree with this review: fantastic game. My only real problem with the game is that occasional screen transition HEY LOOK SPIKE you're dead. It was only really a problem in Crystal Man's stage, though, and it was very rare.

Re: Review: Mega Man III (3DS eShop / Game Boy)

Hmm...while I do consider this the best black and white adventure up to this point, I don't feel quite this positive. I'd probably give the game a 7. I did enjoy the game, but there's just so much unforgiving platforming. Pixel-perfect jumps, spikes, and bottomless pits are everywhere. Plus, damage from enemy shots rarely amounts to anything, but contact with them usually takes your health down by a third. I do like enough of the game to have a positive opinion on it, but I'm hoping for more with IV and V.

Re: Feature: What Can We Expect From Pokémon Omega Ruby & Alpha Sapphire?

I hope there isn't much water taken out of the game. They just need to add more islands or noticeable landmarks. Hoenn was partially defined by its tropical theme, so cutting much of the water would seem counteractive. I also hope the visuals can adapt to the artistic style of Gen 3, because X and Y most closely resembled Diamond and Pearl, a drastically different looking Generation.

Re: Review: Mega Man Xtreme (3DS eShop / Game Boy Color)

I've been loving Xtreme. The music and visuals are both top-notch (8-Bit Spark Mandrill, Wheel Gator, or Armored Armadillo, anyone?), and the sheer scope of the game is astounding considering the platform. There are so many unlockables and upgrades! If nothing else, it's your only chance to play some mega Man X on the go unless you own a PSP.

Re: Talking Point: Super Metroid's 20th Anniversary Reminds Us Of What We Are Missing

I would like to see Nintendo play two sides of a risk coin. Play it a little safer on the Wii U by letting Retro Studios make Prime 4. They could bring many innovations to the series with the Wii U technology while guaranteeing top quality from a so-far consistent studio. Then, they could risk a little more with the 3DS and dive into a 2.5D Metroid Dread. The 3D could make for some really atmospheric environments if they handle the lighting properly. Admittedly, this is really just me being wishful for two things that may or may not be even in consideration at this point.

Re: Review: We Ski & Snowboard (Wii)

Uncanny_CC

Although this game does have some small problems, this is actually one of my favorite games ever made. There are so many things to do and secrets to find. It's too bad not many people share my opinions; A Wii U We Ski game would be amazing!

Honestly, a few weeks ago, I had no interest in this game. However, I pre-ordered it yesterday thanks to some intriguing additions to the the series. Hopefully this game won't disappoint!
