You know.....I played the RE:R demo and liked it but I haven't gotten it yet. Is it too late to play a quality RE title since RE:4 and take advantage of playing it online???
Conker's Bad Fur Day was one of Rare's best titles. The reason why it didn't sell as well was because it was one of the last N64 titles to be released (early 2000.) The gaming world was moving onto the PS2 and word got out about the Gamecube so people gradually moved away from the gray console.
I STILL have the original CARTRIDGE, box and manual in perfect condition and loved playing it (even though it took me a long while to beat it.) I was surprised to hear Mr. Seavor mention Killer Instinct, which is due for a comeback.
Well I still play some Wii games online so hopefully they won't rush to shut down the servers. Contrary to what some people think, the Wii got a great batch of games; hopefully people will take the opportunity to catch up on buying games they missed the first time around, especially since they will be cheaper soon.
I got a lot of respect for this man. He has done so much in the world of video games so I hope he got to enjoy his day. Happy Birthday. Mr. Miyamoto-san!
Well yeah it may be showing up late but it doesn't hurt the Wii at all. Sometimes, I don't check YouTube on the PC but I would do so more often now that the Wii has it.
Nintendo is giving gamers a choice so what's the big deal? Either way, the option of getting an external hard drive is there and it looks like people are buying one for their Wii U, basic bundlers and premium bundlers alike.
This is perfect! They kept the look and feel of the game while giving it the Nintendo touch without taking anything away from it. The touch controls in SSFIV3D were cool but you DIDN"T have to use it and I think that's the case with Tekken Tag Tournament 2.
I can wait for them to introduce Wii U VC as long as when they do, we can play those games on the controller. You might as well make the most of that screen on it to begin with.
At least the other controllers that can be used for the Wii will still be of use.
An 8/10 is still a good score in my opinion. And yes..I agree with everyone who loved Thousand Year Old Door.. I still have my copy for my GC and played through it 3 times. I will eventually pick this up.
@27 as much as I loved those previous handheld Castlevania games you mentioned, Konami needed to change it up because without enough updates to the Metroidvania formula, it gets boring fast. I liked the GoW games so let's see how it turns out before anyone declares Castlevania a "ruined" franchise.
I can see why MS's general manager would try to make a grab at Wii owners but let's be honest: like other people have said, if a Wii owner wanted to get it or the PS3, he/she has done so already. I have been wanting to pick up a 360 so I can play certain games but I won't be able to get it as well as the Wii U.
The Turbografx-16 had a lot of good games during its time. It's too bad Nintendo hasn't released any of their games in such a long time. They need to put more titles in their VC service, pronto!
This is a good promotion. If enough people participate in it, everyone wins. Also, this will show that Nintendo is FINALLY catching up to the digital world of downloading games.
@cyrus_zuo: YES! I agree too. I like that Tecmo supported the Virtual Console but they need to release Rygar already (even the arcade version of it is available for purchase!)
It's a good way to reach out to the faithful Nintendo crowd as well as those who don't follow and/or know much about them, their consoles and their games. I enjoy them and their stats prove I'm not the only one.
It's a good idea since only Nintendo knows when the rest of the lineup of games will be ready to be released. Since they took notice of what happens when you release a great system and don't have enough quality games to be purchased, they don't want to make the same mistake.
I won't be downloading this game because I still have the original NES cartridge in its original box. I only beat the game ONCE and it took me 3 and a 1/2 hours. Good luck to those of you who are playing it for the first time.

Re: Lack of "OMG" Idea Explains Borderlands Wii U Absence
I see the guy's point of view but it isn't a good enough reason to hold back a title that would sell on the Wii U.

Is that real????
Re: Wii U Can be Used as a Portable Home Console
lol....now I wasn't expecting to see THAT.....
I'm quite content bringing my 3DS for those long trips on the bus/train, thank you.

Re: Review: Ninja Gaiden (3DS eShop / NES)
I have this for my NES in the original cartridge and box. It's super hard but if you keep at it, you will eventually beat it. I LOVE this game.
Re: GameStop Wii U Software Pre-Orders Surpass One Million
While I'm happy for anyone who will get their hands on it this Sunday, I will be weeping in a corner as I don't have money to join in the festivities.

@18: It might be a coincidence
Re: Wii U Deluxe Set Selling Like Hot Cakes
It's killing me that I can't get it this Sunday because I don't have the cash for it.
And yes, I do want the premium bundle just like everyone else!
Re: Wii U GamePad Will Not Have Backward Compatibility
I can wait for them to introduce Wii U VC as long as when they do, we can play those games on the controller. You might as well make the most of that screen on it to begin with.
At least the other controllers that can be used for the Wii will still be of use.
Re: Capcom Reasserts Its Commitment To Megaman
Bringing the 6 classic NES titles to the 3DS VC would be a smart move and hopefully, they bring part 6 as well as Mega Man X3 to the Wii VC soon.
But what we all want is brand new Mega Man games (either part 11 or a new X title.)

Re: Developer Interview: Shin'en Multimedia on Nintendo, eShop Development, 3DS and Wii U

Re: First Image of Wii U eShop Surfaces
It looks like it will have a clean interface and also, it's not the 3DS e-shop in HD. Hopefully, it will be better than the Wii Shop channel.
Re: Capcom Loses Rights to Sell Tatsunoko vs. Capcom: Ultimate All-Stars
