Sounds like a good game and I would love to get it but it is just too expensive. Even if you don't have to purchase all of the figures to get the full experience it is still very pricey for a single game. I'll just wait until it goes on sale. I already have too many games to buy this holiday season anyway.
The lack of online multiplayer has kind of dampened my enthusiasm for this game but I actually still want it. I really hope that this game does get localized. If the Circle Pad Pro is going to be coming out here then they should release Monster Hunter 3 G. After all, isn't this the game that birthed the existence of the Circle Pad Pro? Seems logical to release them both.
Great review Marcel! I definitely need to download this game. I have to admit that I didn't have much experience with the Adventure Island games until I recently downloaded New Adventure Island. I very much enjoyed that one and I love the Wonder Boy games. This one sounds like a real treat!
Thanks for the review Zach. I was considering getting this game but I think that I will wait until it drops in price. As much as I love WayForward this game just doesn't sound like one of their better efforts. I think that I'll get WayForward's other Infestation game instead.
So, the NES version of this game, Adventure Island II still hasn't come out in the US? At this point I'm doubtful that it ever will so I think that I will download this game instead. I enjoyed New Adventure Island on the VC so I'm sure that I will enjoy this one as well.
@pizzacore: Balloon Kid is actually a very good game. I downloaded it today and I really like it . Pyramids is a great game too so good choice there. I hope that you enjoy it.
Nice review Phil. I was thinking about getting this game and I think that I will probably still get it. Not at full price though, I'll just wait until I can grab it when it goes on sale.
Good review. I downloaded this game last week and I think that it is a blast to play. I thought that it was going to be mediocre but it really surprised me. It turned out to be a very enjoyable gaming experience.
As @sfog mentioned, we got Cut the Rope in today's update as well.
I never played or even heard about the existence of Balloon Kid but after watching a gameplay video of it on YouTube I am really thinking about getting it. It looks great! I think that it will definitely be worth the $2.99 asking price.
I'm excited to hear this news but at the same time I am concerned that it won't be anywhere near as good as the original Eternal Darkness. Silicon Knights isn't exactly making quality games anymore. Then again they did make their best stuff when they were doing it for Nintendo. Here's hoping!
As long as this game is still coming to the PSN I am okay with this. This really sucks for people that only have a Wii and were looking forward to this game. Hopefully things will change when the Wii U comes out.
I bought this game a few days ago and I am really enjoying it. It definitely feels like a spiritual successor to Solomon's Key. If you are a fan of that game or of retro styled puzzle platformers I recommend that you give this one a try. It is totally worth it. Oh and do yourself a favor and play it with the 3DS D-pad, it controls a lot better than the circle pad.
Good review Corbs. It sounds like a fantastic game and I'm sure that I will really enjoy it. I'll have to pick it up at a later date though. There are just way too many games on my holiday wish list.:/
I liked the demo of the WiiWare version but this sounds like it could have been and should have been a 3DSWare title instead. I'll just wait until it drops to $20 before I pick it up.
Nice review Thomas. I wasn't sure about this game but I am a fan of Solomon's Key so I am willing to give it a try. The price is good and I like the idea of unlocking more content via the QR code feature.
Thanks for posting this info guys. I had no idea that this game was coming out so soon and that it is only $29.99. I am going to go pre-order it right now.
Thanks for the review Philip. I was interested in getting this game but I think that I'll just try out the first one instead. I do agree about the art style. The first game has a nice charming look to it while this one looks plain and generic. Oh well. Maybe their next game, Castle Conqueror Heroes will be an improvement over this one.
Nice to see that Double Dragon is finally out on the 3DS VC. I was kind of hoping to see Double Dragon II: The Revenge come out on the Wii VC too. I'm curious about Castle Conqueror: Revolution. It looks interesting but I think that I'll wait for the review. Those videos are okay to watch for free but there is no way am I paying $2 for them. Nice try Nintendo.
I really would like to get this but the delay of this game has pushed it down on my priority list. There are just too many games coming out this holiday season. If this would have come out at the same time as the DS version I would have gotten it. Looking forward to reading the review though.
I'm actually interested in picking this one up. It looks like it could be fun. Not sure if I am willing to pay $40 for it though. I guess that I'll just wait for the review.
Wow, I didn't expect this game to score so highly! I'm impressed! It sounds like a big step up from the first DQ Monsters Joker game. I guess that I'm going to have to pick this one up after all. Great review Corbs!

Re: Review: Super Adventure Island II (Virtual Console / Super Nintendo)

Re: Review: Balloon Kid (3DS Virtual Console / Game Boy)
I actually enjoyed this game. Personally, I would give it a 7 out of 10.

Oh and +10 for the Wolverine reference.
Re: Giana Sisters DS Sneaks Into North America

This is a really fantastic game. Good luck to everyone who enters!
Re: Centipede: Infestation
I wonder if there is going to be a review for this game.
EDIT: Well, I see that the review is finally up.

I will probably pick up Pyramids today. I might get BurgerTime Deluxe depending on the review.
Re: Review: Pokémon Rumble Blast (3DS)

Re: Rumour: 3DS Expansion to Be Called 'Circle Pad Pro'
Yeah, I'm sure that adding the word Pro to the name is going to make all the people who hate this thing instantly love it now.

Re: Interviews: QubicGames - Gnomz (WiiWare)
I was interested in getting this until I read their ridiculous explanation about how they decided to price their game. Pass.

Re: Monster Hunter 3G Definitely Doesn't Have Online Play
