@LegendOfPokemon your past comments suggest you feel differently about this. Aren't you glad Wii U production ended? Why would you care what Wii U games come out now? Why would you want devs to waste money? Your comment in particular stuck out to me.

Re: Review: BLOC (Wii U eShop)

@Zach777 games like this needs reviews, otherwise people may make uninformed decisions. What if it was an overlooked classic? I would have missed out on a few games , or bought a few duds, if it weren't for the reviews here.

Re: Book Review: Nintendo 64 Anthology

@Zach according to the kickstarter, it will have some interviews with devs, namely the guy in charge of GoldenEye, and the guy in charge of Superman 64. It also promised a comprehensive history of how the N64 came to be. A few screenshots in the book from the kickstarter page looks like they came from press materials, videos, etc. already floating around, but now in a published form. If anything, the Superman 64 interview should be new, I haven't found anything online regarding it.

@cmk8 I guess all the shovelware did them in. I think they have freelance writers do the less popular ones now, and it takes longer to do them when they don't get advance copies, or no one wants to play them to review them.

I'll admit, those reviews brought me here too (as a lurker), got me to buy quite a few DSiware and WiiWare games several years ago.

Re: Poll: What Do You Think of Pokémon Sun and Moon: Special Demo Version?

argh4430

I liked the demo, but I felt it could be more as well. As an introduction to Pokemon, it certainly was better than the ORAS demo, but it still didn't explain the Pokemon catching aspect of the game (which is the most important), didn't explain type match-ups (but at least added a new mechanic to show if it a move was effective or not) and a too simple trial. At least it did show off the new trial system, Z-moves, an an intro to the more important characters in the beginning, I think. I felt the demo could at least have a bit more padding by not giving you such a strong Pokemon right away, maybe have you level it up some, or give more incentive to playing smarter in battle. Your Greninja has double team, and you have potions. You have access to a Pokecenter as well.

Re: Satellaview Exclusive BS Zelda: The Ancient Stone Tablets Dubbed Into English

Awesome. This one was even better than the BS Zelda 1 remake IMO, and had better events. Defintely felt like a proto-Majora's Mask. In fact, it was this game that got me to appreciate Majora's Mask's frantic pace over the slower Ocarina of Time's. A different mindset is needed, but it was a breath of fresh air.

I hope other the other soundlink games get this treatment. I bet the Mario 2 one wiuld be a hoot in English with some of the stuff that happens.

Re: My Nintendo Adds More Rewards for Discounts in Europe

I just noticed that on the NA site, Ultimate NES Remix has a 30% off coupon, but with 900 plat coins instead of gold. That counts for something. May consider.

Other than that, it's just the two Mario and DK themes they offered in the beginning. Blargh.

Re: Review: Noitu Love: Devolution (Wii U eShop)

argh4430

It looks like a really good flash game, reminds me of Alien Hominid. Too soft for a Neo Geo or Genesis game, but I definitely see the connections.

On the eShop, they have a segment where this dev picks out their favorite games. Unsurprisingly, Wild Guns was one of them. On 3DS, they highlight all the Picross e series.

Re: Nintendo Download: 15th September (North America)

Cool, I loved Wario Ware Smooth Moves. Would it be better to sell my disc copy of the game and get the Wii download, or just keep the disc. Space is not an issue, got a 2TB hard drive with barely 10% of it used so far.

And i'm kind of interested in Noitu Love Devolution and Gear Gauntlet.

Re: Review: Tetraminos (Wii U eShop)

argh4430

@msvt I just checked the Wii U's eShop, and there is no official Tetris game. Heptrix is the only option for a Tetris-esque game.

Just trying to find something other than Tetris was an exercise in frustration. You either already need to know what you're looking for, or it needs to be relatively recent or by Nintendo. The "search all" button doesn't exist anymore. I may have better luck using the web store to look easier, but it just exemplifies why the eShop needs better searching filters other than the ones that seemingly changes every week.

Re: Kickstarter Launches for Futuristic Racing / Rhythm Game - Flight of Light

@rjejr you're close.

"Should the campaign not succeed, it'll be difficult to see how the game can be completed. Certainly it will mean long delays and maybe even dropping some platforms, notably Wii U™. That would be a real shame, given the history and origins of the game."

There you go. Game doesn't hit target=no Wii U version. Needless to say, i'm in.

Re: Super Mario Maker Is Coming To 3DS

argh4430

I know my sisters will love this. They liked the idea of the Wii U game, but since they're not fans of the Wii U itself, they hardly play it. Now it'll be easier to share it with them, just bring my 3DS.
