I have the same thing/problem with StarFox 64. Much better playing it with an N64 controller. I knew there was a reason I kept it around although now, obviously, I need an RGB mod on it
I'm up for this if it's a kick-ass handheld that you can also play on the TV. Means that the 3DS is dead but also that devs can target just one machine which should/could mean a better flow of new titles.
If the lack of a spangly website is evidence that they're too busy, beavering away on cool games then I'm fine with it. That said - I'm free to come live in Austin and fill your site with awesome stuff, Retro. Y'know. Just sayin'. Ring me, OK?
Can you imagine the horror of wearing a VB unit with some kind of Heath-Robinson esque head/shoulder mount set up? It's fine as it is and I still play it. There are some cool games and the 3D effect is great. Feels a lot like playing the old Battlezone arcade cab.
@placidcasual Steve's a proper legend, I'm just a leg-end. Thanks for the kind words, though. Are you stil drawing? Nice bit of Pete Fowler SFA for your avatar
@ChessboardMan It's true. I came to the decision last year that I really didn't want to do this stuff anymore but I guess I just needed a break. Unfortunately the Kickstarter book came at the wrong time and I had to pull out. Nobody's fault but my own.
@Frapp Good grief - someone who remembers Smart Bomb!! There will be an #2 soon but I let it lie for the longest time while I tried to learn how to draw better.
I'd imagine that most people don't scour the net for every bit of gaming news and they don't yet know about WiiU so I can see this doing well (providing it's priced accordingly, of course).

Re: GAME Grabs UK Exclusivity of Fire Emblem Fates Special Edition
Apparently the Hyrule Warriors LE is also 'only at GAME' so I wouldn't put much stock by that. It'll be in the Ninty UK store soon.

Re: The Virtual Boy's Design Was Influenced By The Fact That Ladies Like Wearing Make-Up
@PlywoodStick I tend to get a neck/back ache before a headache. Used in moderation, though, it's good fun.
Re: The Virtual Boy's Design Was Influenced By The Fact That Ladies Like Wearing Make-Up
@Damo Yep, got both of those. Jack Bros. is pretty cool, too.
