"The difference between Miyamoto and I is that he takes the same game and takes it deeper and deeper, like the Mario series. I like to work on different games and concepts. I don't like doing the same thing." - Yu Suzuki
We are getting lots of retro themed books thanks to Kickstarter, like Service Games: The Rise & Fall Of Sega, The Untold History Of Japanese Game Developers and Wrestling With Pixels. The Mega Drive was my favorite system so I will definitely buy this book.
50 million people have a Steam account. Just think if only a quarter of these members buys a Steam Machine? This will have a huge impact on Sony/MS/Nintendo console sales
Super has horrible SFX, balance issues and inconsistent looking backgrounds compared to Turbo. However, Super does not have the slow down/input lag found in Turbo when throwing projectiles.
If you have a Wii then get the TG 16/PC Engine port. Gameplay is the smoothest and closest to the arcade. Plus, novice players can watch the character endings after beating the game on any difficulty setting (SNES/Genesis requires 4 stars or above).
I remember GameQuestDirect.com making a deal with various publishers to re-release rare PS2 games like Gitaroo Man and the Fatal Frame series. They were new copies sold at regular prices but the cost of printing each title was over $100,000-200,000. I wish GameStop would sell Prime new for $50 like GameQuestDirect did with the PS2 games.
Just think if Nintendo ripped off the American who created the tech for the Wii? Nintendo should of worked with Sejiro Tomita like they did with Tom Quinn
The only way this game is going to be released is if Precursor Games teams up with a publisher, but no one wants to work with them because of Dyack's history.
I emailed Nintendo requesting that Earthbound is also released for the Wii Virtual Console. Would love to play this game without having to buy a new console.
If Nintendo buys Atlus, my only concern is that the games remain in Japan due to the stupid region locking policy and NOA poor track record of localizing mature themed Japanese titles.
Does he realize that most people who bought a Wii are now playing games on smartphones and tablets. The market has shifted substantially over to mobile gaming since the Wii was first introduced and now these consumers have no plans of buying a Wii U no matter how many games Nintendo makes.

Re: Review: Super Street Fighter II: The New Challengers (Wii U eShop / Super Nintendo)
Super has horrible SFX, balance issues and inconsistent looking backgrounds compared to Turbo. However, Super does not have the slow down/input lag found in Turbo when throwing projectiles.

Re: Rumour: Nintendo Is Shaping Up To Acquire Troubled Atlus
If Nintendo buys Atlus, my only concern is that the games remain in Japan due to the stupid region locking policy and NOA poor track record of localizing mature themed Japanese titles.
Re: Satoru Iwata Aims for "Critical Mass" of Wii U Owners to Shift Perceptions
