CALL OF DOODOO MODERN WARFARE POO

Too rad for conveyance. I'll just sit here patiently.

I am SO tired of NES games!

I love how everyone is freaking out about the prices of these games "8 BUX FOR A FREAKING SNES GAME!?!!1 IF DIS WAS FIVE BUX I WOULD GEDDIT BUT LIKE DAT PRICE DIFFERENCE OF THREE BUX REALLY FROSTS MY BOTTOM!! AROOOGUH!!" It is 8 dollars. Eight. Dollars. These are games we paid $60+ back in the early 90's, and you had no problem then! How many of you guys dropped $30 on the NES classics series for GBA? These games, specifically SMW, are ones we will most likely be coming back to YEARS from now. Would it be nice if they were cheaper? Of course. But these aren't iPhone games that you'll impulse buy and never remember playing a couple of years down the road. Nintendo is world-renown for their software quality, and these games have resonated with us in ways words can't formulate. Your desired price of $5 is a $3 difference, which is next to nothing.

tl;dr go home, whiners. you're drunk.

@C-Olimar A re-hash, huh? Yeah, it's pretty easy to assess the game from a trailer that lasts a minute, and when Nintendo's gone on record to say that all of the dungeons were new.

Man... come to think about... Majora's Mask was a rehash, too! I mean, what a lazy game! Most of the assets where straight from Ocarina. This makes it a bad game!! Can't believe I never thought of this.

Thanks for enlightening me, bro!

I wish EarthBound was getting released on launch day... now THAT would've been a real kicker to launch the service!

Anyway, bleh. Super Mario World with Game Pad support and Miiverse integration is a surefire purchase from me. As for the rest, these are games I wouldn't even bother pirating.

@Deathgaze I don't know about you, but a lot of us fans of the game (especially younger fans) find it hard to purchase a SNES cart that costs upwards of $100. Nintendo has known about the passion for this game for a good while now, and it's easy to see how many people would buy the game upon it's VC release. Do they owe it to us? No. But literally everyone in the world knows that $100+ is, for many of us, a completely unjustifiable expense for a 20-year-old SNES cart.

If you guys had played the original, which I have, you would be more excited. Think Animal Crossing mixed with Tamogotchi; it's quite a beast to be at the reigns of. I think with the proper marketing, it could really take off here... at the very least, I just wish the 3DS wasn't region locked. Thinking of picking up the hardware bundle..

it's all about WWHD for me, with Yarn yoshi at a close second!!

@scir91 Wwwwwhaaaaat?

Why isn't Zen Pinball showing up in the eShop?!

@SpaceKappa No such patch exists. I watched a stream of Fangamer/EB Central play through the JPN Wii U release yesterday, and nothing about the rom was changed.

I just want a portable Nintendo 64. I just want it so bad.

@Obvious78 It's OBVIOUS that you're trolling.

I was expecting this to score a lot lower! When I was a kid, I would get new GBA games, and I was so bummed every time they were this isometric type of platformer. Bionicle, Spyro/Crash, Banjo-Kazooie... the list goes on. Not to mention Grant Kirkhoppe doesn't do the music for this entry. It's not a bad game, but I have no desire to pick up where I left off years ago.

I had a few friends who had the Genesis, and I own Sonic's Ultimate Genesis Collection, so I'm well versed in the type of games featured on the Sega. I didn't own a SNES until I was 15, so the nostalgia-tinted goggles are non-existent when I say the SNES has captivated me in a way that the Genesis can never, and will never, be able to!

There's just that charm that Nintendo has that goes beyond words, sprinkled across all of their games.

What a catch 22. No triple-A software comes to the Wii U because the user install base isn't high, and the user install base isn't high because no triple-A software comes to the Wii U. So frustrating to own a Wii U and deal with these developers' comments...

Wow this almost sounds too good to be true! I usually stick with original hardware when buying, but the inclusion of GBA and HDMI out has me sold.

Gotta say, I love these Hardware Classics features! The writing and pictures are so cool. That said, I grew up with the US SNES, and by God, would I have taken the SFC over the SNES any day! Soooo sexy.

I absolutely have to buy this game now. THIS GUY. THIS IS HOW YOU'RE SUPPOSED TO BE A HUMAN.

Dang. I was really hoping that the Amazing Spiderman would be the answer to AUS's devilishly poor Wii U sales performance. Another dream shattered.

@Residentsteven I'm 22, and I have a record player because it offers a much higher quality of sound. It's more organic, in a sense. OH GOD IT'S SO OOOOLD. Nope, record players are still manufactured.

Absolutely adore the graphical style. Holy cow.

I pooped bricks seeing this article.

Eh. I'd say this is nothing compared to long translation times or localization never happening. Give me Tomodachi Collection, Taiko no Tatsujin, or MOTHER 2 on the VC before anything we have here!

@Tsuchiya Reading through the first half of these comments, it seems someone might have their nostalgia glasses glued on.

AHHHH European cases look so rad compared to American/Japanese ones!

I just hope this comes out before or after Super Luigi U. Wanna give Watch Dogs a fighting chance upon release. A same-day release would blow my mind, it probably wouldn't even sell.

It's so so lame and truly disheartening to see how spoiled and ungrateful the lot of you are. They don't have to release this, they have NO obligation to do anything for us. They owe us nothing. It's a /video game!/ Jeeze, support the devs who actually MADE the game. It's not their fault. Buncha whiners.

@Shiryu One can only hope. This also looks bad on Sega's part. I will never understand why people release straight-up bad games.

Quest 64 was pretty horrid.

A little over two bucks to download them all? Jeeze, yes, please!

Anything inspired by EarthBound earns a place in my heart, simply because the people who understand the game are unified in an inseparable way.

I misunderstood the title to mean that the price of the eShop version got cut down. Sliced, if you will. 's a dang a shame.

@Burning_Spear How. It's the cheapest HD console launch in the history of anything, ever.

Definitely don't get where anyone sees that he's going to resign if Nintendo is met with losses again. The implication is non-existent.

That said, I feel it really is Nintendo's fault. Yes, the Wii U launch line up was the best in recent history, but /wherehavethegamesbeensincethen?!/ You need a steady stream of titles to keep customers engaged in your product. They said they learned this with the 3DS, but... I don't know. Pretty stagnant. Other than Nintendo Land, I'm feeling no urge to rush out and buy a Wii U, and even then, it's Nintendo Land.

I don't understand why Nintendo pushes out products that simply aren't ready to be released. More games and /working/ VC functionality are kind of a given... have they not learned from the 3DS?

Thank God Game Center CX 2 is region-free.

Hey guys. Learn Japanese, and you'll never have to complain about localization again.

Come on, a 5? Seriously? This game is tons of fun, it feels good to play! It handles really well! It's addicting! What more could you ask for from a NES launch-window game?

I cannot, will not, will ever never not wait for this. I want it now.

Totally ridiculous. I understand that it's free and everything, but, come on. Dude. Nintendo. Seriously? A CLOTH?! I could get this for like two bucks at Target. Sure, it'd be pink and Yoshi-less, BUT WHA?!!??!/ewgr fsnn

@killertroller73 Wouldn't it make more sense to learn Japanese since you wouldn't have to wait for localization, ever?

I personally don't mind the extra time taken to make this game perfect. I've always been impressed with the amount of love and time taken with the localization, giving the dialogue the time it deserves is key in preserving the charm of the game.

Take as long as you need, NOA! My wallet is ready!

Oh man, it's going to be so hard to wait for SSB4. I think I might just cut myself off from gaming sites once a Dojo-esque site is revealed, because you know every site ever is going to put the smallest update as a headline. Blaaagh.

NOOOOO!! I had huge hopes for this game based on my love of Henry Hatsworth and the Nintendo Power coverage... gosh dang.

Because, y'know. That totally makes sense. Being able to buy a Netflix box for 100bux seemed like a pretty nice thing, but nope. Totally logical.

@Chriiis That's totally not official, though, so it didn't happen.

I wish they had hired a huuuuge translation team to get this gem out in the wild sooner rather than next year, but it understandable why it's taking so long. I wouldn't want to even look at how massive the text files must be! I'll just have to play City Folk until it's release. :<

On Saturday, I was at the mall with my girlfriend and best friend. We were there for various reasons, and at the end of the trip was our visit to Best Buy. I wasn't expecting to see a Wii U demo kiosk, but there it was...

We clamored over the controller- "It's so comfortable!" "It feels so good!" we shouted to one another. We were like the Nintendo 64 kid at Christmas day. I felt a similar sensation to the first time I saw a Gamecube kiosk and played SSB Melee for the first time back in 2001.

Naturally, we hit the home button to check out Nintendoland, NSMBU, etc... but wait- there were only videos? OF EVERYTHING!? Oh, except Rayman. Cool. But not really.

Does no plug-ins mean no youtube? :<
