Was always worried about this one, I was hoping for a Sayonara Umihara Kawase type game but in Nintendo style yet this looks to be too easy and uninteresting.
Definitely play Sayonara Umihara, it's much better than it may look.
My Game Boy collection is over 100 strong at the moment including over 20 in box. An incredible machine with an incredible history that deserves all the love.
@SahashraLA Most moderately new PCs and laptops could easily play games such as The Bridge, Binding of Isaac and Never Alone so I don't think the cost of the machine is much to do with it.
To me the experience of playing these games on a computer with a 360 pad when compared to playing them on a Wii U is incredibly minimal. At least if they were on the 3DS you have (potentially) 3D added to the games and the games become portable but when these games come to the Wii U way after PC it feels pretty deflated.
The more indie games on the Wii U the better but it is in desperate need of show stopping exclusives.
I know I shouldn't be so negative but is anyone else getting a bit sick of year+ old games from Steam appearing on the eShop for ridiculous prices? The Bridge can be picked up so cheap during Steam sales...
Instant buy and loving it... even though 2 features more diversity in environments and much better graphics some reason I still prefer the first SoR... perhaps it's the music. Am I the only one?
@Uberchu You're right actually, forgot how much they were, Pullblox in the UK is £5.39 and Fallblox is £7.19 so definitely not half the price of the new one. Sorry about that!
Personally I don't think you can beat the original pure gameplay of the first game, it's great! Fall and Fullblox kind of transform it in a way that it looses that purity.
Yeah I noticed the lower frame rate, that really irks me!
Can't justify spending £8.99 on this to be honest, for the amount of puzzles you get I'm not sure it's worth it (previous games have 250 levels each and are almost half the price). Still need finish Fallblox, so difficult!

Re: Sega Will Be Bringing a Game Gear 3DS Theme West Soon
Hey Sega, how about physical copies of the Sega 3D Classics over here and while you're at it more Game Gear games for the Virtual Console. Thanks!
Re: Sonic The Hedgehog 2 Is Spin-Dashing To The 3DS eShop On October 8th
@123akis Get on it, there are many great ones
Re: Updated Sega Mega Drive Arcade Ultimate Handheld Features Save State Support
The sound emulation on these is aaawwwful! They need to sort out the emulation before anything else.
Re: Review: Animal Crossing: Happy Home Designer (3DS)
Nah, I'll just play New Leaf for a couple 100 more hours!
Re: Picross 3D Sequel is Heading to the 3DS in Japan, Includes amiibo Support

Re: Ninterview: Dave Higgins And The Quest For A Complete European Game Boy Library
@HandheldGuru97 Very jealous of your Survival Kids. Great collection.
Re: Ninterview: Dave Higgins And The Quest For A Complete European Game Boy Library
@playoldgames Very good point! Maybe a complete NGPC collection next?
Re: Ninterview: Dave Higgins And The Quest For A Complete European Game Boy Library
@ValiantPixel they go for crazy money at the moment don't they!? Anyone would think they were rare.
Re: Ninterview: Dave Higgins And The Quest For A Complete European Game Boy Library
Awesome!

At the start of my fevered collecting for the Game Boy I wrote this blog post which outlines the history and some of my personal favourite games for the system. http://lovewithoutanger.blogspot.co.uk/2012/09/obsession-2-game-boy-game-boy-color.html

Oh, yeah, Gunstar Heroes all the way
Re: SNK Playmore's New Chinese Owners Aim To "Do A Marvel" With Its Famous Franchises
I love love LOVE SNK of yore but since the early 2000's they have really been wasted. I wonder if many of the original developers are still there.
Re: Feature: The Biggest 3DS eShop Games of 2015 - Summer Edition
Gonna be honest, none of this takes my fancy which I feel sad about.
I'm sure there is a lot of stuff not included here though (including the rest of M2 games...)
Re: Dragon Quest XI Is Coming To The Nintendo 3DS And Nintendo NX
Both versions look very beautiful to my eyes... here's hoping we'll actually get to play it.
Re: Review: 3D Streets of Rage 2 (3DS eShop)
Suprised so many people prefer the first game, good to see I'm not the only one. Amazing game nonetheless.
Re: Nintendo Download: 30th July (Europe)
Really recommend Sayonara, great game!!

Re: Video: 3D Sonic the Hedgehog 2 Trailer Confirms Local Co-Op Support
Does the sound in the video sound really harsh to anyone else?? I hope they include an EQ so I can turn down some of those high frequencies.
Re: Prime Day Brings a Few Deals for Nintendo Fans in the UK
Or you could just get the Wind Waker bundle with a lot of extras at Argos for £179.99
Re: MEGABytes to Blend a Cafe and Arcade Together in Glasgow
Moving to Glasgow in September, will have to check it out!
Re: Tributes and an Outpouring of Respect Are Shared in Honour of Satoru Iwata
That story from the flight attendant is beautiful and very touching. And this is just one story, what an inspiring fellow.
Re: Nintendo President Satoru Iwata Passes Away Aged 55
Terrible news. We all need to remember all the great work and passion he brought to the company. RIP Iwata.
Re: Nintendo Download: 9th July (Europe)
No 3DS love AGAIN! Grrr
Re: Eight SEGA 3D Classics Get Discounts in North America
Have the whole series apart from Ecoo and Altered Beast. Love them all.
Out of this lot I personally would go for Space Harrier and Super Hang-On.
Re: There Are Now Over 600 DSiWare Games And Apps
Wish they were on sale every now and then, there are a bunch of DSi Ware games I want to play but can't stomach the price.
Re: Weirdness: Someone Captured E3 2015 Using A Game Boy Camera
Awesome!
Re: Next Metroid Prime Home Console Title "Would Likely Now be on NX"
'We don't have the resources' - what on earth are Retro working on? Are they just in an office twiddling their thumbs as it seems that way.
Re: Triforce Heroes Resurrects Zelda Co-Op On Nintendo 3DS
@thedevilsjester personally that sounds tedious to me and will end up feeling a little empty in singleplayer (just like past multiplayer Zelda games)
Re: New Trailer Emerges for Shin Megami Tensei X Fire Emblem
Wish they would actually just show some regular gameplay, want to know more about this game.
Re: Hyrule Warriors Legends Features All The DLC Of The Wii U Version, Plus Wind Waker Content
Didn't see this coming wink wink
Re: Mario Tennis Ultra Smash Is Coming To The Wii U Centre Court This Holiday Season
Looks very plain.
Re: Mario & Luigi Paper Jam Brings More RPG Action To 3DS Next Year
One of the better games shown.
Re: Yoshi's Woolly World Launches in North America This October
Nice! Looks to be shaping up well
Re: Animal Crossing: amiibo Festival Is Basically Mario Party With KK Slider And Company
I kind of liked the look of this... what?

Re: Xenoblade Chronicles X Launching In The West Just In Time For Christmas
Oh yeah! Good to see this isn't having a stretched out localisation. Loke Chronicles on the Wii
Re: Animal Crossing: Happy Home Designer Promises Domestic Bliss This September
Will be interesting to see whether they add the new functionality into a new 'proper' Animal Crossing experience. This game doesn't excite me though.
Re: Triforce Heroes Resurrects Zelda Co-Op On Nintendo 3DS
Meh, not a fan of these multiplayer centric games, always feels like they water down the game along the way.
Re: Metroid Prime: Federation Force Is The Metroid Game You Didn't Expect, Or Perhaps Want
Boooo! Wouldn't be so bad if they also announced a Wii U title. I was of those rare few who actually really enjoyed Hunters but this... meh
Re: Hyrule Warriors Is Slashing Its Way to 3DS
Thank god this isn't 'new' exclusive. Wonder how the framerate will cope and whether they'll actually add 3D.

Re: You Need These Exclusive Sega-Themed Artworks On Your Wall
That Jet Set Radio one is great, love the Phantasy Star and Shinobi ones too but that Streets of Rage one creeps me out!
Re: Nintendo Download: 14th May (Europe)
3D Thunder Blade... Yes!
Re: Streets Of Rage 2, Gunstar Heroes And Sonic The Hedgehog 2 Are Your Next Sega 3D Classics
@Jock_Nerd You couldn't in the first one, I imagine you still won't be able to sadly.
Re: Streets Of Rage 2, Gunstar Heroes And Sonic The Hedgehog 2 Are Your Next Sega 3D Classics
YES YES YES! Have all the 3D classics apart from Ecoo and Altered Beast, these will round out the collection beautifully...
