I like this game better than the original for one simple reason: the camera. The minigames are a pretty good time waster too. As for the controls, they aren't THAT bad. The original still has controls that're leagues better though.
I hate this game. The isometric viewpoint makes the game next to impossible. Hopefully we'll see Congo Bongo and Flicky on the VCA soon, two of the better early Sega arcade titles.
Not being able to configure the DIP switches is unacceptable. I'm still getting the game but that still is a pretty boneheaded move by G1M2. Great review.
I read somewhere that this game was really hard. Not sure if if this game is for me. It'll probably be forever and a day until we get this game since the VC releases everywhere are slowing down pretty badly.
This is the worst Genesis game I've ever had the misfortune of playing. It was Action 52, and I didn't think any game was as bad as that, until I played this game.
I didn't even know they had a Wii 2 logo. Probably just a mockup. There's probably some people that don't know the truth though. I didn't even know they had mistakenly revealed it 'till now.
I think I'll save my celebrating when Super Mario World and Sonic the Hedgehog turn 20 next year. Nevertheless, happy birthday Super Mario Brothers. 3.
I was expecting Princess Tomato to be released this month. I think we might get KOF95 or S&K next week. Will be downloading Tomena Sanner and possibly Blaster Master: Overdrive sooner or later.

Re: Miyamoto Confirms Pikmin 3
Hopefully it comes out next year (I'd like it to be this year, but I'm probably dreaming). I'm dying to play a new Pikmin game.
Re: Flashlight
GOTY 2010.
Re: Nintendo Download: 15th March 2010 (North America)
I'll probably get Rondo of Blood sooner or later. I was hoping Kirby Super Star would be #350 since we'd get Rondo very soon anyways but whatever.
On another note, CAVE STORY IS FINALLY COMING NEXT WEEK!!!!
Re: Want Kid Icarus? Hey, Just Ask
Give us a Pikmin 3 and Star Fox Wii already Nintendo!! An F-Zero Wii would be nice too.
Re: Top DS Toilet Timewasters
Such an awesome article. I play video games when I'm squeezin' one off all the time.

Re: Hanabi Festival 5 to Happen Soon?
NA's had Milon's Secret Castle and Lode Runner for a couple of years. Better late than never for Europe.
Re: Nintendo Download: 8th March 2010 (North America)
Fairly good week.
Re: Nintendo Download: 9th & 10th March 2010 (Japan)
We got Mega Man before Japan? Awesome. As for Moon Cresta, it's average at best. Galaga and Phoenix are two of the better shooters way back when.
Re: Review: Zaxxon (Virtual Console / Virtual Console Arcade)
Congo Bongo's controls weren't that bad. Jumping on a platform can get annoying though.

Re: Nintendo Download: 5th March 2010 (Europe)
Isn't it strange that most of the VC games released in Europe this year are from Sega?
Re: Rage of the Gladiator to Cost 1000 Wii Points
Awesome.
Re: Review: Data East Arcade Classics (Wii)
@Stuffgamer1: Good point. I still think it was a dumb move though.

Great review.
Re: Nintendo Download 1st March 2010 (North America)
Yes! One VC game closer to #350!
Re: Alex Kidd in the Enchanted Castle
I actually like this game. At least it tries to stay faithful to Miracle World, which all the other games fail miserably at doing.
Re: City Connection
The arcade version is better, but not by a whole lot!
Re: Review: Super Thunder Blade (Virtual Console / Sega Mega Drive)
Agree 100% with the review and score. This game is awful in every sense of the word.
Re: Castlevania: Rondo of Blood
I read somewhere that this game was really hard. Not sure if if this game is for me. It'll probably be forever and a day until we get this game since the VC releases everywhere are slowing down pretty badly.
Re: First Impressions: Sin and Punishment 2
Definitely getting this one. It's gonna be so awesome.
Re: Nintendo Download: 26th February 2010 (Europe)
Hope you Europeans enjoy Castlevania Rebirth.
Re: First Impressions: Super Mario Galaxy 2
Looks super awesome.
Re: Review: Family Go-Kart Racing (WiiWare)
Just another game to add to the giant pile of shovelware. Great review BTW.
Re: WiiWare Market Grows to Nearly $60M USD in 2009
@23: Agreed.
Re: Super Mario Galaxy 2 Hits May 23
Why is the release date so close to Lost Planet 2? WHY!? Stupid Nintendo and Capcom making me broke. That release date was seriously unexpected.
Re: Cave Story Coming March 22nd
About damn time.
Seriously, the first half of 2010 is gonna kick ass for gamers.
Re: WiiWare and DSiWare Release Dates Announced
Yes! Less than a month away until we Cave Story!
Re: Zaxxon
@SuperPeach: An isometric space shooter.
Re: Frobot Multi Playa Gameplay Video
Looks pretty basic. It could turn out to be pretty fun though.
Re: Review: WarMen Tactics (WiiWare)
Looks like Karate Phants and Hockey Allstar Shootout have some competition.
Re: Developer Allegedly Has DS2 Kit
If they do announce one it won't come out this year. Probably late 2011.
Re: Metal Slug
This is such an awesome game. Best run'n'gun series period.
Re: Super Thunder Blade
This is the worst Genesis game I've ever had the misfortune of playing. It was Action 52, and I didn't think any game was as bad as that, until I played this game.
Re: Sonic the Hedgehog 4: Episode 1
Hopefully it's the length of a classic Sonic game.
Re: Nintendo Power Unwittingly Reveals Wii 2
I didn't even know they had a Wii 2 logo. Probably just a mockup. There's probably some people that don't know the truth though. I didn't even know they had mistakenly revealed it 'till now.
Re: Sonic Classic Collection Goes Collectible
Spain huh? That's pretty random.
Re: Super Mario Bros. 3 Turns Twenty
I think I'll save my celebrating when Super Mario World and Sonic the Hedgehog turn 20 next year. Nevertheless, happy birthday Super Mario Brothers. 3.
Re: Nintendo Wins Another Piracy Court Case
Pirates always lose.
Re: Blaster Master: Overdrive
If it's not a remake then this is definitely gonna be on my Wii the next time I can get a points card.
Re: Review: Snakenoid (DSiWare)
I thought it'd be worse judging by the tagline below the name of the game.
Re: Nintendo Download: 8th February 2010 (North America)

Re: Talking Point: Nintendo Arcade Games on Virtual Console?
@Corbie: Oh it's still not in the public domain in the US? Thanks for correcting me.
Re: Talking Point: Nintendo Arcade Games on Virtual Console?
I'd prefer to see the Punch-Out! games first.
Also, isn't Popeye in the public domain?
Re: Princess Tomato in the Salad Kingdom
It's been rated by the ESRB. NA should expect this game any time now.
Re: Blaster Master: Overdrive Coming to WiiWare on Monday
Definitely getting this one.
Re: Blaster Master: Overdrive
Definitely getting this one.
Re: Sonic Playable in Super Mario Galaxy 2?
Please be fake.
Re: Review: Yume Koujou Doki Doki Panic (NES)
I personally like the NES version with Mario better.
Re: Nintendo Download: 5th February 2010 (Europe)
Looks the the PAL VC is back in full swing.
