@SanderEvers That would definitely be a much better use of the Zelda theme!

Zelda and Monopoly do not seem to go together imo. It should have been Tom Nook's Monopoly

Excellent

I'll always be a PC gamer at heart, but when it comes to consoles, I go Nintendo because they aren't afraid to push the envelope. Plus, many of my fav games of all time have the word Mario in them (I still remember the feeling SM64 gave of being able to explore a 3D world, for example). I did have an Xbox 360 for a time, but other than the excellent Fable 2, there was really no reason to own one since practically everything else was also for PC, and you don't have to pay gold membership just to freaking use the internet. Oh, and I love the Wii U thanks to Super Mario 3D World (the VC release of Earthbound helps too!)

If they made something like this with the Smithsonian, I'd be all over it!

@andreoni79

My thoughts exactly! An open world arpg would be perfect

I'll probably pick this up for PC, but yeah, it looks like a lovely casual game

Oops, I meant her first album Gaming Fantasy has the Chrono Trigger tracks, not this new one

@Capt_N
No, she definitely enjoys playing the games! She's an RPG addict.

Ooo, awesome to see Taylor Davis featured here, I'm a big fan. She also does some nice Chrono Trigger songs on the album (the main theme + frog's theme).

Make Dinosaur Planet HD for Wii U!

I'm not sure if the rumours are true, but the thought of a Kinect spying on me, and shutting off movies if someone else walks in the room, well, are a huge annoyance. And having to be connected to the internet every 24 hours or the system will lock is also ridiculous. I think there's going to be a lot of backlash for the xbox1 after the initial sales wave is over.

You already mentioned it in the article, but yeah, Android controllers have been out for awhile, and the 3DS is doing just fine.

I already own Uncharted Waters on Wii VC, and there's no real point in save states in that game, so I'll be skipping. And I'm with the others, physical copy of Mario all the way! It's the reason I bought a Wii U in the first place!

I know it's not the greatest game ever, but it's cute and I enjoy picking it up and playing every now and then (I have it on Wii VC). Finding secret areas is a lot of fun, and I love that there's different ways to enter the castle. Probably a 6/10 for me

3/10 is definitely harsh for this game... I found it slightly boring to play (and the background music gets really annoying), but visually it's a really nice game with distinct levels, characters, and monsters. It's especially interesting from a historical standpoint. I'd say it deserves at least a 5

This actually looks pretty cool... time to milk the last of my wii points!

YES! Umihare Kawase is seriously one of my fav games of all time! Everything about it is amazing! Sooo looking forward to this

That does sound neat. Hopefully it's not as finicky as the gamecube online thingy

I played this on PC back in the day, and even back then found the gameplay to be opaque. I get the urge to try to it again, if only to remind myself just how bad it is, and that, seriously, I'm not missing anything

I bought this first week, it's good fun with a nice atmosphere

If it were Pilotwings 64, I'd be all over it... as it is, my coins will be waiting awhile longer to be spent

I just ordered a Wii U today, yay! And I could care less if Bethesda doesn't develop for it, that's what PC's are for (yay Skyrim and Dishonered)

I'd never heard of this, but I like the aesthetics

That study makes sense to me... when I've had a really bad day, I just go on a killing spree in Skyrim!

@Darkness3131 Same here... plus the whole 'women in prison' thing is so cliche. But as long as it's fun with interesting characters, I'd give it a go

I would have been interested in this for sure

The upcoming games for wii u are definitely why I'm buying one soon. Sonic Lost Worlds, and the new Mario World look fun. The previous lineup wasn't enough for me, especially since a lot of those games were available on other platforms.

Games like Mario Tennis are great for short burst play... but when Pokemon X is released, uhhh, I think I won't be putting it down for many, many hours!

I like the idea of the 2ds, it's cute. I own a 3ds xl, and love it, but I never play any games in 3d because 3d gives me a headache. That said, I still like the fold-up design (and obviously the bigger screen) of the xl. But if anything, maybe the release of the 2ds will remind people that they don't have to play games in 3d, and it's not just some gimmicky system. The games are fun on their own!

I haven't played this in years, but while everyone was multiplaying goldeneye, my brothers and I were multiplaying jet force gemini to death and it was loads of fun

I'd buy it for sure

What's weirdness is seeing this posted about here! Cosmo rules, check out his twitch.tv for OOT and Windwaker speedruns streamed live. Currently he holds the WR for both games

I agree, this needs a VC release! The N64 did such a good job of showing what a new 3D world could be like.

Maybe it's because I was such an avid PC gamer in the 90's, but I LOVE this game. I love how the graphics look old school but updated so they have neat features like ambiance and proper 3D. And I love the control scheme too, it makes it more challenging to have to remember how to cast different spells and swing certain weapons. It's also refreshing not to have to simply tap 'A' all the time to attack. And I like how it's more laidback and you have to explore, and it's awesome when you find something new. I seem to be the odd one out here, but yeah I love Stonekeep

I have to admit, I love all the Kirby games and this one is no exception. 8/10 for me

I agree with the previous comments, you drive way too slow. Since playing Double Dash, it's hard for me to come back and play this. The only thing fun about it now, really, are all the glitches and shortcuts out there to try out.

Sure, the gameplay is lacking (I recommend playing with the nunchuck, it helps), but I love violin and classical music so to me the music is worth the price alone. Once you've unlocked a song, you can listen to it again via theater mode. I'm tempted to make mp3s out of them to listen elsewhere

When all is said and done, and I've gotten everything off my VC wishlist, I'll still have 600 points left. So I was looking for a 500 point game out there that looked appealing, and Fantasy Zone 2 seems to fit the bill nicely

This game looks so cute, I really want it ;_;

Left to my own devises, I never would have bought this game for the 64. Luckily my brother did, and I actually had a lot of fun playing it. There's just something about it that draws you in, and that's saying something since I'm not generally a snowboarding fan

I've never owned a Sega in my life, but I'm giving this a shot a) I love how 80's the art is and b) it's pretty rare when the main character in an rpg is a girl. The title screen reminds me of Nausicaa. So far I'm doing what everyone has talked about and grinding away, little bits at a time. I don't mind so much, though, I have a good feeling about this game

Just got this tonight. I'm blown away by the atmosphere they've created here. Still have yet to try out 2P but so far I'm hooked

10/10 is right. What a fun and charming game! Didn't get to play this game much as a kid, so playing through it now feels like it's a brand new title. It has that timelessness to it. I love the penguins and racing down the slides

I remember playing these type of text/point and click adventure games in the early 90's before having gamefaqs to give you a hint now and then. What a headache! But well worth it in the end too. Princess Tomato definitely gets props for being unique with the characters and stuff.

This game is so addictive! It was a lot of fun to do 4-player, one of the best party games we had on the 64. I actually played tennis in high school too, and I was impressed that they got the different spins and such right in the game. Played this for hours on the 64, now have it on VC

I'm really surprised at all the lukewarm comments here! Maybe you had to have played it in the 90's, but to me it's the best game on the SNES (not counting the import-only SD3, which I like even better). I still feel all dreamy when I hear the 'Into the Thick of It' song, and the cutscene after beating the Mana Forest makes me cry. And I love that there's this huge world to explore. Sure there's a few little annoying glitches with monsters not spawning properly and your partners getting stuck, but the good far outweighs the bad. 10/10 for me
