Re: Random: Dataminers Use Original Uncompressed Samples To Restore Super Mario World's Soundtrack

Snes music being built around the same technology as midi files, the compression was not necessarily restricted by the cartridge size, but by the sound chip in the console. using the converted snes audio file in midi, and playing it in a modern midi file software renderer (which will feature better instruments, reverb and chorus effects) will have the same effect on any snes soundtrack.

I've dropped sticker star for a lack of interest in fighting, no leveling, no reward whatsoever for fighting makes a very dull rpg. At least super paper was a platformer, and I knew what to expect. mario & luigi is now the best mario rpg series for me.

no... where is a link to the past. I can understand we haven't got bravely default for "maybe" localization and distribution issues. but come on nintendo, a vc game already out on the wii and localized more than 20 years ago.It's probably the matter of the press of a button. And then it might also be a marketing strategy to avoid alienating a link between worlds sales.

There was a time when america got everything and europe was left with long delays and even unreleased games, including SMRPG. Now it's kind of a reversal, games are coming sooner to europe and somes are not even realsed in NA. I guess it comes from the fact that the NA consumers are now more interested in local productions and become less interested in japanese products. JRPG, platformers and strategy games are slowly disapering and the common game looks more like a michael bay movie that you've already seen, no inovations, no artistic value, gunplay and generic "semi photo realistic" visuals are all that maters. Nintendo should at least help us believe that original gaming still exists by filling the VC to help maintain interest of current WiiU users, while we wait for other fantastic first party releases.

Re: All New Screenshots From Icarian: Kindred Spirits

Well I agree with some who mentioned it before: this game does share a lot of similarities with nintendo's Kid Icarus. But let's be serious, with the time it takes for nintendo to update their classic franchises (and I mean A potent one, not like marios spin-offs etc.), it was time that a third party publisher release something inspired by nintendo's work. The game looks good and might be a future purchase for me. Grats at you at Over the top.

Re: Top 10 platform games we want to come to the Virtual Console

Hi, I leave this message to make things clear regarding the release of Banjo-kazooie on the virtual console. First isn't there already 2 rareware game out for the snes, ok i know you'll tell me that DK is a nintendo chararter and that it means that the rights are owned by Nintendo, but isn't Diddy kong racing the first real rare published game? and regarding that last game, didn't Nintendo released it on the Nintend DS lately? And that game featured Banjo. There's also a few GBA rare game that came published either by THQ or Nintendo. ok I know it sounds like I really hope it's going to show up but well it's just a few words to let you know that we don't really know how things goes in this business, and that even if rare is now owned by Microsoft, some of the best snes and N64 games were rare creation and even more, help the N64 last a little longer with great first party titles near the end of its lifespawn. With that said, see ya!
