Re: Bit.Trip.Beat Coming To WiiWare On Monday

@Objection_Blaster: Hell yeah, I like that song! It's hilarious. There's another SNL music vid that came out recently- just go to youtube and look up "I'm On A Boat (ft. T-Pain)". Have you seen that one? It's ridiculous.

Re: DSiWare: Pre-release Roundup

@thewiirocks: The focus is definitely on downloadable games- I'm just broken hearted that it's still on the original DS platform. Sure, it has more memory (it'd have to for downloads) and the processing speed is a nice touch. I just wish they'd release something like the DS2- with the downloads included. But I do realize they have to start out in baby steps with such a concept, and play the field to see how successful the idea would be. I think downloadable games is the future, for sure. I know personally I've been downloading tons of WiiWare games, and haven't stepped into an electronics store in ages.

Re: DSiWare: Pre-release Roundup

No thanks DSi.

How about instead of sucking the DS udder til it's all wrinkly, Nintendo try to implement these new features into a next-gen handheld? I think it's a bit late to be introducing this kind of stuff on a platform that's already been out for ages. It really kinda makes me mad, seeing as the whole point here is to squeeze out a little bit more cash from an outdated system. Am I right or am I right?

Re: Review: Gradius ReBirth (WiiWare)

anthonyb

Downloaded this one last night. I'm enjoying it, though I'm starting to regret it- Life Force is just as good, and it has the 2 player option. I think the value would've been much higher had they included co-op.

Re: USA WiiWare Update: Gradius Rebirth

Wow! That link Corbie- what is that?? Sure it just looks like an arcade.

Come to think of it- how sweet would it be to mod your Wii in such a way as to play all your vc games on a true arcade? Hm.

Re: Top 20 WiiWare Games in USA (25th Feb)

Sigh No surprise on the top 3. People still want the fishies.

And anyone who comes to this site on a regular basis- if you haven't gotten Bomberman, what are you waiting on? It's about to fall off the map!

Re: Sega's Let's Catch Gets OFLC Rated

anthonyb

Definitely- with a game such as this (excuse the figure of speech)-there's gotta be a catch. Immediately I thought "Baseball" from WiiSports. Minus the bat feature. But we'll have to wait and see. At this point, we only have screens I guess, right?

Re: Review: Life Force (NES)

anthonyb

I just downloaded this one after reading the review- it's awesome! I love it. It's really challenging the first few play throughs- you'll definitely need the 30 lives cheat!

I recommend this one!

Re: Mega Man 2

anthonyb

An absolute must-have, alongside Megaman 3. Megaman 2 is a polished NES experience- not too too challenging, great music. MM3 is much harder imo, and the bosses and levels seem a bit darker. I wouldn't feel right not owning both titles- highly recommend.

Re: Top 20 WiiWare Games in USA (11th Feb)

anthonyb

I'm still amazed at how many people are choosing to watch virtual fish swim around- instead of buying great multiplayer games like Bomberman! C'mon peeps! I wanna see some B-man action!

At least there's plenty of you Tetris-ers!

Re: USA WiiWare Update: LIT

anthonyb

@tkubas: Agreed. Nothing new here most likely. Going out in the backyard with a real flashlight at night would get a better review than this game. Maybe I'm being too harsh on the flashlight idea and all. Let's just see the review.

@longtimegamer: The features you speak of are pretty neat- I like the cell phone/wiimote thing. I haven't seen many good uses for that speaker, nice to see someone put it in use.

Re: New Cave Story Graveyard Screenshot

anthonyb

Yes, I hope there's a lot of new DLC, considering it's a free game online and those who've played before will have more incentive to play the WiiWare time around. Either way, I'm downloading it, since I have yet to play the game!

Re: Hudson Releases Onslaught Screenshots

anthonyb

@LorD SyN DracuL: I agree. Looks cool, but we'll have to see. I'm not sure the WiiWare platform is the appropriate place for such a game- it may suffer. Now had it been a full-blown retail game, with online capabilities, that'd be different. Anyway, I was very surprised when I played Metroid Prime on the DS, it worked really well online imo. So we'll have to see.

Re: Hudson's Upcoming WiiWare Games Revealed

anthonyb

Like everyone else said: FPS?? It MIGHT be good, but I'm just going to guess it'll suck. As much as I love Wii and all, I doubt we'll see something in the FPS genre that'll rival COD on Xbox or Counterstrike on PC as far as community and competition goes. Believe me- I'd LOVE for this to be a success, especially w/ Wii-mote controls, but I don't think it's going to be what heavy FPS players are looking for.

But who knows- we'll just have to wait and see. At this point I know nothing of the game!!!

@Wiiloveit: Yes, I finally got around to registering. I've been using this site a while now for deciding what WiiWare games I should pick up. I also added myself to the facebook group. So, hello!
