Re: Hardware Classics: NEC PC Engine

XyVoX

I had a PC Engine Duo then sold that when most of the games i wanted came out on Wii VC so i picked up a Core Grafix 2 which i still have along with around 40 something hu-card games, have to say though this machine had a slickness,speed & fluidity to games that you didn't often see on the Snes or Megadrive it was a Sprite powerhouse.

Re: F-Zero AX Found Hidden In GameCube F-Zero GX

XyVoX

You have to respect their tweaked SMB2 game engine they used for this game still looks Great on a Big Plasma, fantastic game aswell for the Hardcore gamer thats for sure, Exactly how many more different tracks are there ?

Re: Balloon Fight On Wii U Reportedly Running At 50Hz in Europe

XyVoX

O come on not this crap again Nintendo this 50hz BS all but stopped any VC purchases for me as i aint paying for a slow and sluggish inferior version of a game, i live in the UK grew up owning from 16yrs old japanese or USA versions of consoles/games as the difference is extremely noticable ie SNES Mario Kart in the UK 150cc is the same speed as NTSC versions 100cc, no thanks looks like ill be declining again then.

Re: Nintendo of Europe Gives Free Retail Game to 3DS XL Owners

XyVoX

Just registered my system and claimed for Professor Layton and the Miracle Mask as i reckon thats the most expensive title out of the lot at the moment, very surprised by this promotion combined with the Ambassador free Zelda 4 swords and Kid Icarus i'd say Not Bad At All Nintendo.

Re: Talking Point: The Realities of Wii U System Memory Have Become Clear

XyVoX

SO if im reading this right you CANT play games from the external drive just load them back into system storage to play? exactly the same as Wii then that is truly awful as someone who would download alot over time this makes it alot less appetising to make a purchase with all of the effort considering many games are going to weigh in many Gigs thus costing me time waiting to play a game, i might as well dig out my old SPECTRUM 48k then.

Re: This Super Metroid Cover Will Blow Your Mind

XyVoX

DAMMMMMMMMM that soundtrack is rocking and to me Super Metroid is excellent through-out but Metroid Prime has the best music of any game ive ever played so clever and atmospheric i still haven't heard anything better..

Re: Mobile Publisher Believes Nintendo Ecosystem May 'Fall Apart'

XyVoX

I have an DS Light, DSi XL , 3DS, iPhone 4 & iPad 3 and i would say comfortably based on DOWNLOAD games that when informed and research done the quality of games on my iPhone & iPad far exceeds that of my Nintendo handhelds, the price of said games im talking about eg 69p, £1.49, £2.99 that come out on other platforms or similar games always cost FAR more, so the value and quality is EASILY in apples corner (again based on download games when researched correctly). PLUS and its a big plus i dont know of any other platform that constantly UPDATES its games adding more content like levels, characters, game modes, better graphics all for FREE like app store games do, on other platforms you almost always have to pay for such content.

Re: Review: New Super Mario Bros. 2 (3DS)

XyVoX

@19Robb92 Pikmin was if i recall correctly the last new franchise Nintendo released and that was over 10 years ago, and yeah i dont need to play it to understand its largely the same as whats gone before which i have played and completed so i reckon based on that 9 is to high.

Re: Review: New Super Mario Bros. 2 (3DS)

XyVoX

Their is know way in hell that this game can deserve a 9, Nintendo haven't released a new franchise in decades, they are pretty much guaranteed to sell in excess of 20 million plus units of this game and the best they WANT to come up with is largely the same game as last time, ive loved most of the 2D Marios so good game or not the majority of people reviewing this are right its not a 9. its lazy and complacent banking on existing fans.

Re: Guide: 3DS XL System Transfer

XyVoX

Well ive just prepared my 3DS for trade in tomorrow ive copied all the contents from the 3DS's original 2GB Card over to a much faster 4GB card then i can do all of the system transfer stuff tethered via my iPhone on site then change over this 4gb into the 3DS XL to complete the process then just put back in the original 2GB card for trade in, job done hopefully.

Re: Guide: 3DS XL System Transfer

XyVoX

As im going to the shop on Friday to pick up my 3DS XL would i need to do the NEW system update in order to do this system transfer between the 3DS & XL ?

Re: Review: Frogger: Hyper Arcade Edition (WiiWare)

XyVoX

How can it be 700 USA Points & a 1000 UK Points when UK points are more expensive anyway in comparison, consistently these price differences across all of their download services are putting me off purchasing and i reckon many others also. Sort it out Nintendo

Re: Angry Birds Trilogy Takes Aim at 3DS

XyVoX

What a COMPLETE rip off these games are on 3DS they are 69p 99c each for the iphone version which is the most similiar to the 3DS screen size etc and they are all under 20mb each, RIDICULOUS i say should be eshop for sure.

Re: Wii U Designed to Do The Impossible

XyVoX

When you say " it does full HD output for a start" so does the PS3 & 360 trouble is only a handful of games on them systems actually output true 1080p, so will the WiiU be outputting true 1080p on all games or is it going to be as is the case with the PS3 & 360 most games by far are only 720p.

Re: Review: 3DS Circle Pad Pro

XyVoX

From the beginning i COULD NOT BELIEVE Nintendo actually designed the 3DS without a second analogue stick in the first place, i mean using a second analogue stick was common place for years by then. In this new revision for the 3DS i really think it is essential that they up the screen size and battery life as BOTH are way to small.

Re: Review: Resident Evil Revelations (3DS)

XyVoX

Sweet had this pre-ordered from Zavvi for £29 with the Circle Pad Pro included aswell, and its been dispatched cant wait. ps in my opinion LAST generation of consoles & games Resident evil 4 on the Gamecube was EASILY the best game i'd played, SHAME they cocked up and ruined Resident Evil 5 though wasn't even a Resident Evil game really.

Re: Review: Mighty Switch Force (3DSWare)

XyVoX

Ahhh 200MB i was guessing its over 150mb just by the amount of time it took, WOW THANK GOD that Crappy download limit is gone from the 3DS at least, no more strangling the developers vision. Shame they never done that for the Wii or DSi it made no logical sense to me.

Re: Out Now: Nintendo 3DS Ambassador GBA Games

XyVoX

@ 182. belmont well said mate no fanboyism here aswell as, when it aint right it aint right. The colours and screen blurring for me make it unplayable, and its nowhere near that Bad on any other format be it ds games on a 3Ds or VC games on the Wii etc this is most definitely the WORST of the lot by some margin.

Re: Out Now: Nintendo 3DS Ambassador GBA Games

XyVoX

@ 5. Bass_X0 "The graphics quality isn't as good as playing the actual cartridges. They're not as clear as playing them on the GBA SP or DS Lite"

I COMPLETELY agree these games look terrible the colours are incorrectly displayed and the screen blurring/smudging is awful.

Re: 3DS Ambassador GBA Games Out Friday in Europe

XyVoX

This selection is of a very high standard as most games were universally a 9/10 and certainly considered by many some of the ELITE titles for the GBA, i mean Mario Kart: Super Circuit had all of the SNES Mario Kart tracks within it aswell.
