It is about damn time.....I say bring it on!!!

@GannonBanned good to know. I will be picking it up in the near future.

I really liked the first one and bought it digital, wishing there was a physical release though. I might just get the sequel in physical form but the standard edition is good enough for me.

@GannonBanned I was thinking of getting The Bioshock Collection. How is it? Also, I didn't make that mistake when I first got Perfect Dark for the N64 as I had already bought the expansion pack for another game

@JasmineDragon I personally would like to go to that universe.

@Kidfunkadelic83 agree.....it is downright embarrasing now.

@Roadkill409

Well to be fair, the NES version was better than the short, arcade version. It extended the stages, added new sections, made you work for the stronger moves via the heart upgrade system and included a 2 player VS mode using all the characters in the game (though I'm pretty sure the majority of gamers ignored it totally.) But yeah, the taking turns 2 player part sucked and you only got 3 lives to beat such an incredibly, difficult game

While I tend to feel the reviewer of this game was a bit harsh, DD2 did have is fair share of problems. Am I the only one that remembered there is a code for DD2 where if you entered it at the "game over" screen, it granted you an extra continue?? The only catch was you had to enter it quick with the code being fairly long and it only worked on the hard mode AND after you pass Stage 6 (the one with the infamous disappearing series of platforms over spikes.)

Nintendo needs to release this on the Wii U so we can get through the crap that is DD3 so they can release the awesome Super Double Dragon

@Rafie I heed your call, man.

I plan on getting the game so look for me. My Nintendo ID is Bx_Lounger.

I'll be getting Mega Man V and I'm curious about Sword & Soldiers. I had Street Fighter Alpha 2 for the SNES and didn't like it that much unfortunately.

Also, I had some lag issues when Brawl came out but I also had some good matches as well. I wish you could have kept a friends list for that game so you can find them again and set up matches.

I'd had tons of good memories with the Wii DS Wi Fi Connection. For the Wii, the first game i went online with was Medal of Honor:Heroes 2. Soon after, I bought The Conduit and those two were my FPS fix. Then I bought Mario Kart Wii and spent many hours offline and online. But the one game I kept on playing until the night before was Goldeneye 007; man what a fun game and I had only reached level 54!

For the DS, the only game that I played a lot online was Tetris Party. I had a lot of fun with that one as well. All in all, I had good memories and wish the WiiU was doing better so there are more people online playing.

It's not a problem for me. My job is 20 minutes away by train from the Nintendo World Store. It looks like I'll have to pre-order MK8 there.

@JaxonH

lol looks like im not the only one thinking about going to the Nintendo World Store to buy the MK8 limited edition bundle

I've played the SNES and Genesis version of Mortal Kombat several times back when they were initially released. The SNES version was the one that came closest to the arcade when it comes to graphics, sounds and stage music. The Genesis version featured different stage music, the graphics were pretty muddy but had similar sounds compared to the arcade game. Both versions had stiff controls when it came to pulling off the moves but the ONLY reason the Genesis version was the most popular one was because of the infamous cheat code that unlocked the "real" fatalities for each character, which was animated poorly.

Thankfully, Nintendo got the uncensored version for Mortal Kombat II to level the playing field against the Genesis version of MKII.

Finally, SMB 3 is out!!! I will upgrade my Wii copy later tonight. But that Flowerworks HD game....hmmm....should I get it? Is it worth buying?

I never got into Golden Sun because I'm not really into RPGs. But I'm glad that game and the GBA F-Zero game will soon be released.

I am definitely picking this game up. It's too bad Yoshi's New Island was a letdown as I was looking forward to picking it up. I'm not into Mario Golf but from what I read about it, it sounds like it will be a hit for its fans.

I don't really play a lot of turn based combat games but like others have stated, we need a diverse selection of games on the eShop and this game will be welcome news for those who want to play games like Earthlock.

I've always wanted to buy this game. I've only got 4 games in my Wii U library and including Darksiders II, there's 5 more games I plan on buying.

I had a good run with games like Mario Kart Wii, Texas Hold 'Em Poker,Tetris DS, The Conduit, Medal of Honor Heroes 2 and Goldeneye 007. Sooner or later, Nintendo is going to shut down the Wii/DS servers and it sucks. But maybe it WILL get some people to go out and buy a Wii U because their NNID servers are up and running.

In a perfect world, they would try to integrate online multiplayer for select Wii/DS titles but this world is far from perfect and Nintendo needs to severely step up their efforts to promote the Wii U. I say....play the hell out of your favorite titles until May 20th....and enjoy every last moment.

@Blizzaga I have Excitebike World Rally but I played mostly the single player mode because no one is online for this game anymore.

@Technosphile

you said it....I still play it and there are always players to fight against online and it's a blast. I knew sooner or later the Wii servers will go offline and since I don't have CoD, Goldeneye 007 is my only FPS shooter fix. I will continue to play until the very last day.

oh yeah....I'm really "diggin'" the title of this article.....props to the writer

This is one game I am looking forward to....reminds me of the good ol' 8-bit platform games I used to play over and over.

@cyrus_zuo

I know right? I'd buy that game in a heartbeat!

Now this looks cool and interesting at the same time. If it turns out well, then I will download this game.

@FineLerv......agreed

Okay...for the people who are bashing those that are turned off at the fact that this game does not have online multiplayer need to stop. Some of us don't have friends nearby to play games with us and/or kids of our own to play at a moment's notice.

Games like FPSs, racing games and fighting games do benefit from having the ability to play with and against others online. If this title was brought out to Xbox 360/One and PS3/4, there's no way the online multiplayer features would have been left out; why is it acceptable for the Wii U? I'm all for local play and some games are PERFECT for it like puzzle games and SM3DW.

But kart racing games, when done right, are really fun AND should have local play and online multiplayer. There was no reason for them to cut it out and I feel it will hurt their potential sales in the long run.

@tj3dsXL

lol I hear you. Let me know what you think about NES CV 2. Happy gaming, bro!

@ntabruzzo

agreed....but most likely they will take baby steps. Let's hope that they take A LOT of baby steps lol

@Zodiak13

2015 is too soon...for Nintendo's next handheld OR console.

I'm looking forward to this game and I agree with a few other people here who said they need to show more footage of the Wii U version. Ubisoft scaled back some of their support for it so they need to pull out all the stops if they want us to buy it for the Wii U.

Speaking of the GB titles, while I liked Castlevania Adventure, I felt it was too slow paced, a little unforgiving in some spots and very short. I guess that's why I liked the sequel better as I felt it fixed the issues I had with the first one.
(BTW, the remake of CA, Castlevania Adventure: Rebirth is awesome and worth checking out on WiiWare.)

I'm a big Castlevania fan and if you can beat NES CV 2, I'd suggest you take on CV3: Dracula's Course (hopefully they will re-release it.)

@tj3dsXL

Yes I have.....many years ago when it came out for the NES. But I didn't get into it as much and haven't played it again until it was released for the Wii VC. I played the hell out of it and liked it. It's still a hard game and writing down the passwords sucked but eventually I worked my way and saw 2 of the 3 possible endings.

@The RealThanos

Post# 73 was the best one I have ever read so far since joining NL. You speak the absolute truth!

LOL what the.....??!?! Man that was one of the best videos I've seen so far. Seriously, this video wasn't meant to be taken seriously but it goes to show that several N64 games earned the "classic" status. Who knows if anyone who bought the Xbox One will remember any of the games released on it 20 years from now; better yet: are any one of those Xbox One titles going to earn the "classic" status?

Well that was interesting.....I do like the pokemon reference but I have mixed feelings with his current direction in his music.

@midnafanboy

that would be cool......it can extend the replay-ability and tide everyone over until the next Smash Bros game comes out.

It's a great idea. Each title has its own distinct look and feel even though its the new Smash Bros title Nintendo has been working on. Now, they even have their own set of unique trophies. I like it.

Are you kidding me? This is a joke, right?

There is no way that this lawsuit is legit or even worth taken seriously. Get 'em, Nintendo!

Wow, I've never heard of him until I read the article. I have played a good number of games in my life and always used to stare at some of the covers on the box.

R.I.P. Greg Martin......your work will never be forgotten.

I think the show is hilarious but that wouldn't make me want to get this game so I'll pass on it for now.

@tj3dsXL I'd have to disagree with you there. I have played the NES game and the one for the GB. The second GB title is WAY BETTER hands down than the first one.

@canadianryan82

thanks for the tip! I feel confident enough to get back into the game and see once and for all if I can defeat the Grim Reaper...wish me luck.

The three games I'm interested in is Smash Bros, Triple Deluxe and Pirate's Curse. Overall, these games will be welcome to the growing library of 3DS games.

I definitely agree with all the points presented in the articles, particularly two of them they REALLY, REALLY need to work on: their marketing strategy for the Wii U and an account based system where all of your downloaded games are NOT tied to the console/handheld.

Here is hoping 2014 will be even better for the Wii U and continued success for the 3DS.

@LittleIrves I second that. I intend on giving Wii Sports Club a go and would love to play against others online.

@JaxonH

You brought up some excellent points and I agree with you 100%

I thought the roundtable was cool because I got an idea on what the editors thought about the games they managed to play through. I'm glad I invested in my Wii U and come next month, I will get the chance to play through the games I bought so far. Happy New Year everyone and keep on gaming!

I hope this motivates Nintendo to further enhance their online infrastructure so their servers can handle more people. I'm hoping that they indeed sold a lot more Wii Us and 3DS handhelds so we all do need to let them do their thing.

It sucks that I have to wait until tomorrow to access the eShop since I just bought a $20 points card to download more games.

@JaxonH

I've heard of Sonic Transformed and still on the fence on whether I should get it. You're right; I like racing games so NFSMW interests me. I also like Mario Kart and I still play it online. As for fighters, every once in a while I pick up one to play.

On topic, I thought Arkham Origins Blackgate was not as bad as some reviews make it out to be. It's not perfect but I'm still playing through it so hopefully i'll beat it soon.
