I recommend using _popup as well. I tried listening to a song using the option NLife gave, but I got a message saying that I could only watch it on Youtube. When I used _popup though, the video played just fine.
@HarmoKnight: The gameplay's more like NES Open Tour. Golf and then it has the RPG mode like most of the other handheld Mario sport games.
Anyways, not a bad week. And I agree with what brooks83 said about Neo-Geo games. I never liked 2D fighters so it'd be nice if some different Neo-Geo games put up, like its shumps.
Pachter made some good points until he spouted out this nonsense.
"The reason I think they’ll fail is, I can’t think of a third-party publisher that did well on the DS. I mean, Scribblenauts, so there are a handful games and you can count them. Nobody did very well on the DS..."
Guess me and Pachter must be thinking of completely different consoles.
Well that's pretty lame. I wasn't looking forward to it but there were plenty of other people who were. Nicalis really needs to release something else that's not Cave Story (VVVVVV's a good start but not enough).
North America seems to be more interested in putting on more original 3DS downloadable titles rather than Europe. Not a bad thing but I'm more interested in the VC.
Sad news indeed. Really wanted Bonk to be revived (came close, but never did ). Hopefully they'll release a couple more VC games on the VC like Adventure Island II (both versions) before they're gone forever because you know Konami won't release them considering the fact that they haven't touched the VC in nearly 3 years.
360 it is then. And there's no way I'd get this if it came on 3DS. If it can't even run Runner without framerate issues then I don't have high hopes that it can run this one either.
Anyways, good to hear that they've got their hands on a Wii U kit.
Looks like Wii only owners got screwed this week as usual. NOA might as well have sent them a lump of coal. As for this week in general, meh. I was hoping we would get Wario Land instead. Not a big enough fan of Gameboy Tetris to pay $4 for it.
Glad to see it's good. I'll pick this one up when the price goes down. But what were Sega thinking when they decided to give classic Sonic the homing attack?

Re: Review: Beetle Adventure Racing! (Nintendo 64)
Great game and I agree with the review and score. I think I'll have to pull this one out and play it tonight.

Re: Sin And Punishment Developer Treasure Working On 3DS Exclusive
Looking forward to whatever it is.
Re: Mega Man Fans Troll Capcom Following iOS Social Game Announcement
They can't be serious.

Re: Review: Retro Pocket (DSiWare)
More shovelware from UFO Interactive. What else is new?
Re: Review: New Super Mario Bros. 2 (3DS)
Great review. I know I'll end up getting it eventually, but I have other things that I want to get first.
Re: Mole Mania Burrows onto US eShop Tomorrow
Well, that's a pleasant surprise.
Re: Angry Birds Trilogy to Cost $29.99
It's going to need a heck of a lot of new content to justify that price.
Re: 3DS Virtual Console Gets Big Push in North America
Nintendo having a sale for one of their downloadable games? That's new.
And two 3DS VC games a week during July? Nice.
@Retro_on_theGo: They aren't showing up for me either.
Re: Nintendo Download: 21st June 2012 (North America)
Yeah this Wii VC revival has been great. Glad to see it hasn't been completely forgotten yet.
Re: You Can Transfer Wii VC Games to Wii U
Fantastic news.
Re: E3 2012: Project P-100 Unites Platinum Games with Nintendo
Looks pretty good. Would've made a great surprise announcement during the conference.
Re: E3 2012: Watch the Nintendo Press Conference Live Here
I can't believe that I got up early for that.
Re: Review: Metal Slug 3 (Wii Virtual Console / Neo Geo)
@Mickeymac: It was released for the Neo-Geo too.
Re: Nintendo Download: 10th May 2012 (North America)
2 Wii VC games in one week? Been a while since that's happened.
Re: Kirby's Pinball Land Dinging to Virtual Console
@VintageBoy: It has in-game music. That video was showing off attract mode, which doesn't have any music for some reason.
Re: Rumour: Retro Studios Preparing Star Fox Wii U Reveal
Hopefully it's true. I'd buy a new Star Fox game if it's got gameplay like the first two.
Re: Review: Bird Mania 3D (3DS eShop)
Glad to see this one turned out well.
Re: Nintendo Download: 3rd May 2012 (North America)
@EddieEddieEddie: What are you talking about? We got an old game this week.
Re: Nintendo Download: 3rd May 2012 (North America)
Two weeks in a row with Wii VC? Great job NOA, keep up the good work. I'll have to get Super Hang-On soon. Been waiting for that one.
Re: Feature: Three reasons Why Mario's Next Adventure Should Visit Subcon
I'd love to see another SMB2 style game. The NSMB series is alright, but it's time for something different.
Re: La-Mulana Canned for North America, Europe
Well that's pretty lame. I wasn't looking forward to it but there were plenty of other people who were. Nicalis really needs to release something else that's not Cave Story (VVVVVV's a good start but not enough).
Re: Wii U Will Launch With Digital Store
That's good that we won't have to wait like we did with the 3DS. Hopefully it'll be pretty good.
Re: New Super Mario Bros. 2 to Kick Off Retail Downloads
That sounds like a good game to start with.
Re: Talking Point: What New Super Mario Bros. 2 Means for 3DS and Nintendo
@I-U: Agreed. That's my only concern with the game right now.
Re: Nintendo Download: 12th April 2012 (North America)
@Bass_XO: There's probably still some people out there who never got around to buying any of the other consoles.
Re: Nintendo Download: 12th April 2012 (North America)
Sucks this week if you only own a Wii.
Re: Nintendo Download: 29th March 2012 (North America)
North America seems to be more interested in putting on more original 3DS downloadable titles rather than Europe. Not a bad thing but I'm more interested in the VC.
Re: Nintendo Download: 22nd March 2012 (North America)
Nothing too interesting this week.
Re: Europe's Virtual Console Loses 6 Games This Month
@Tsuchinoko G-Mode releases the games that were made by Data East.
Re: Castlevania: The Adventure Whips Japan Next Week
https://www.nintendolife.com/reviews/2009/09/castlevania_the_adventure_retro
Here's the review in case anyone's interested.
Re: Castlevania: The Adventure Whips Japan Next Week
The DOS version of Castlevania is better than this garbage. Better off waiting for the sequel.
Re: Two More Sonic Game Gear Games Rated
I'll pass on these two.
Re: Review: BurgerTime World Tour (WiiWare)
Ouch. I think I'll just stick with arcade version on that Data East collection.
Re: Konami Dissolving Hudson Soft
Sad news indeed. Really wanted Bonk to be revived (came close, but never did ). Hopefully they'll release a couple more VC games on the VC like Adventure Island II (both versions) before they're gone forever because you know Konami won't release them considering the fact that they haven't touched the VC in nearly 3 years.
Re: Nintendo Download: 19th January 2012 (Europe)
A Wii VC game? I almost forgot that service existed. Hopefully NA gets it too but I'm keeping my expectations pretty low right now.
Re: New Pokémon Title Coming to Japan in March
Interesting crossover.
Re: UK's Best-Selling Games of 2011 Revealed
Wish Batman didn't have to be at the bottom.
Re: Nintendo Download: 12th January 2012 (North America)
The Zen pinball game makes up for the lack of any VC titles this week.
Re: Gaijin Games Explains Why RUNNER2 Won't Reach Wii
360 it is then. And there's no way I'd get this if it came on 3DS. If it can't even run Runner without framerate issues then I don't have high hopes that it can run this one either.
Anyways, good to hear that they've got their hands on a Wii U kit.
Re: Review: Zombii Attack (WiiWare)
The Wii shop has become such a joke. It's been forever since we've gotten something that wasn't average or a piece of junk like this.
Re: Nintendo Download: 5th January 2012 (North America)
Meh.
Re: VVVVVV eShop Release Date Revealed for North America
Just got it off of Steam for less than $2 so I'll pass on the 3DS version for now.
Re: Nintendo Download: 22nd December 2011 (North America)
Looks like Wii only owners got screwed this week as usual. NOA might as well have sent them a lump of coal. As for this week in general, meh. I was hoping we would get Wario Land instead. Not a big enough fan of Gameboy Tetris to pay $4 for it.
Re: It's Official: Xenoblade Chronicles is Coming to North America
Glad to see at least one of the Rainfall games coming.
Re: Nintendo Download: 1st December 2011 (North America)
I'd much rather have Adventure Island II.
This update's pretty depressing. Can't wait for the GBA games.
Re: Reggie: Virtual Console on Wii Isn't Dead
More like a hibernation.
@43: Add Illusion of Gaia and Soul Blazer while you're at it. I'd download all three of those in a heartbeat.
Re: Review: Sonic Generations (3DS)
Glad to see it's good. I'll pick this one up when the price goes down. But what were Sega thinking when they decided to give classic Sonic the homing attack?
