Basically what Bass X0 said. The hardware itself was the major issue with the virtual boy, not the games. It'd be nice to experience those games without getting a headache from the red/black color scheme.
Maybe it's because nobody wants to hear Samus to talk to herself almost nonstop. Maybe it's because nobody likes pixel-hunting sections. Maybe it's because nobody really cares about the huge, complex story of the Metroid universe. Maybe, just maybe, it's because Metroid: Other M isn't a good game.
While she can can get some real high notes, I wonder if she can pull off the smooth vocals that Tina Turner had when she sang the song. It's all a matter of time with this game...
That's nice to hear. IMO, the extra stuff is worth the price alone, but also getting a repackaged SMAS collection for the Wii? Not bad, Nintendo, not bad at all...
Y'know, I'm still kinda iffy on this game. I mean, everything I've seen and heard is good, but it still seems like a bit of a cash-grab on Activision's part. :/
I personally find this line-up kind of a disappointing, but I can see why Nintendo decided to go this route. Out of all the (Nintendo) games announced, those four are probably the most likely to be the least big-hitters of the bunch, meaning that some 3rd party companies will get to take some of Nintendo's spotlight instead of the opposite.
Is it even technically possible to "Read" Binary "Fluently"? Isn't Binary just a computer language that represents every number with 1's and 0's? I must be missing something.
As a person who has no friends, this doesn't impact me much, but I do agree that EA needs to at least try to make the supposedly Wii-exclusive game on even ground as the free versions that they're handing out with another whole game for the other consoles.
Couldn't agree more. The story is bland and the repetitive rock music is annoying, but the actual gameplay of the game is a thrill and is well worth the price, especially today.
Meh, I don't really like dual-analog shooters, so this is more-or-less a lose/lose situation for me. Of course, this also frees up my budget for other games during the holidays...
Umm...wasn't the whole "D-pad controls for the people that complained" thing a news story when the game was first announced? Or am I missing something?

Re: Chrono Twins DX Joins the Demo Ranks on Friday
Friday would be a really good day to bring back the demos, NOA. Stares angrily.
Re: GoldenEye's Return Sells Twice As Well As HD Bond Outings
No solid numbers? At all?
Re: Miyamoto and Reggie Honour Mario's 25th with Amazing Cake
Wow. Aiming for a world record right in front of Miyamoto? I'm pretty sure I would've fainted at some point in those five minutes.

God, why do NL reviews hold so much tension? D:
Re: Former Pussycat Doll Brings Glamour to GoldenEye Soundtrack
Nice catch with the catch-line.
While she can can get some real high notes, I wonder if she can pull off the smooth vocals that Tina Turner had when she sang the song. It's all a matter of time with this game...
Re: Super Meat Boy May Skip WiiWare and Head to Retail
...So the game will be going from 100-something-MBs to over 2GBs? I'm sorry, this doesn't compute. AT ALL.
Re: WiiWare Demos Launch This Week with Four New Downloads
Hopefully this will come to the US at some point. Either way, HOORAY!!!
Re: Exclusive: Nintendo Bringing Back WiiWare Demos
YAY!!! DEMOS!!!
Hopefully this won't be another one-time stand. I wanna see demos last forever.
Re: Super Mario All-Stars 25th Anniversary Edition Coming to U.S.
That's nice to hear. IMO, the extra stuff is worth the price alone, but also getting a repackaged SMAS collection for the Wii? Not bad, Nintendo, not bad at all...

@James What is this madness called Argos?! (AKA we don't have any.)
Re: Drool at this Professor Layton vs Phoenix Wright Trailer
3DS = Amazingly awesome. This is proof.

Does this mean that I can enjoy people cracking open skulls with wiimotes on the next episode of House? 'Cause that would be awesomely hilarious.

Re: Multiplayer Brawling Comes to DSiWare with Cosmo Fighters
At first, I thought this was an article about how Nintendo's bringing a Smash Bros. game to the DSi.
Re: Prepare for Celebrity Overload in Nintendo's Christmas Campaign
Why are half of the games Nintendo's trying to advertise from last year?

Re: Feast Your Eyes on 3DS's Launch Line Up in Japan

Re: 3DS's StreetPass Communication Feature is Tag Mode Done Right
My only concern would be if it drains too much battery power. I personally prefer to play games both ways from work instead of just one way.
Re: SpotPass is Essentially WiiConnect24 for 3DS
My thoughts are pixelman's thoughts.
Re: See 3DS's Menu, Mii Creator and More in Motion
I wonder how widely inaccurate the face-to-Mii feature will be. Other than that, the system looks pretty cool.
Re: Cammie Dunaway Leaving Nintendo Next Month
Meh, I never really liked her anyway. Hope she finds another job.
Re: Gaijin's Alex Neuse Plays Silly Beggars About 3DS Development
@Odnetnin YES.
...And possibly a maybe.
Re: Gaijin's Alex Neuse Plays Silly Beggars About 3DS Development
Wow. That is the most obviously un-obvious hint that they might be working on a 3DS game ever.
Re: Brand New Kirby's Epic Yarn Trailer
@JesusSaves So what if it's a gimmick? He's made of string!
Re: Brand New Kirby's Epic Yarn Trailer
There's only one thing that can be said about this;
"He's made of string!"
Re: Resident Evil: Revelations Uses a Version of Capcom's MT Framework
Um...WOW. O_O Those screens in the translated article look pretty. O_O
Re: Sega Emits a Spectrum of Sonic Colours Information
Is it even technically possible to "Read" Binary "Fluently"? Isn't Binary just a computer language that represents every number with 1's and 0's? I must be missing something.

@TwilightV Yep, I haven't seen it. But after watching the above intro, I'm pretty sure I don't want to. D:

Again, time is our enemy in this battle. I'm gonna wait and see before I decide anything.

As I said on Movemodo itself, it's happened; the sweet and innocent world of Nintendolife is dead. D:

@Birdman Thanks for that. It did clear up a few things.
