While Patrick is a douche in the more recent episodes, I've gotta go with him because he was so awesome in the early ones. Also, we getting Squidward DLC now or what?
The DraStic emulator is actually really good. Not that I'm endorsing pirating, but it runs extremely smoothly and supports pretty much every game. I myself use it to play Kirby Super Star Ultra when I'm on the go and can't use my DS.
NO These guys are not Ash and Gary, but instead Red and Blue from the Pokemon Adventures manga. The Mew that comes with it is presumably the Mew that Blue tries to battle with his Charmander at the start before he gets interrupted by Red. I get that these guys are the basis for Ash and Gary, but they aren't the same as their anime counterparts. On a different note, the Mew is a really nice touch
Provided that they are referring to the handheld part of NX with the 900p HD, I think that this could be very cool if true. One thing I've noticed is that the in-box content mentions there being a sensor bar and just a 'Game controller', alongside the actual thing and the HDMI cable. This raises some questions: 1) Does the sensor mean that we'll still have the option to use motion control? If so, will Wiimotes be compatible, or will they use a new-style controller? 2) If Wiimotes are usable, will this lead to Wii-Wii U backwards compatibility? 3) Will the handheld part of NX be its own thing, a controller for the home console NX, or both? If the latter, will it work like the Gamepad when connected to the home console? 4) Will amiibo still function with it? Given how they pretty much print money, I wouldn't be surprised 5) Will the handheld part of NX have its own games, share games with the home console or both?
Just my two cents on questions this raises. Of course, it could just be fake. Not sure, really
These things seem reasonable to me. Not having restore points is fine in a game with built-in saving, and stopping exploits from breaking the game is always nice. I do kinda hope that they don't patch out some of the glitches though (Level 100 Nidoking, Mew and completing Yellow in 0:00 spring to mind)
Pretty good week for us in Europe, but I think I'll stick with my original MK64 cartridge. I think that I'd spend the money on a 'new' N64 controller (or some friends to play with...)
With Comic Book Sonic being a thing now, does this mean that we'll get Cartoon Sonic (i.e SatAM and TAoStH)? Also, is Pixel Sonic a separate entity to the Classic Sonic from Generations? Finally, Sanic Sonic or riot
IT'S NO F***ING USE! ARIN WINS! SILVER WINS! SONIC WINS! On a slightly more serious note, I notice that the numbers 4, 1 and 16 are in a different font, and are slightly brighter. Big the Cat: Fishing Frenzy for April Fools Day 2016 confirmed
My two cents: Swampert would make sense as the other Hoenn starters are in the game already. Also, Raikou could work as an alternative to Suicune. As @Krisi said, Hitmonchan and Hitmonlee both have the 'ra' in their Japanese names, and as they are natural fighters it only seems fitting for them to be in.
Not surprised by the score. While all ACs are good games, the lack of internet functionality in this one really lets it down in comparison to those that came after it. It really makes you feel 'shut off'; super hard to go from NL or CF (hell, even the original) to this. The hardware limit in this has a large impact on it as well. As @darknyht said about the lack of NES games, the lower processing power of the DS meant that quite a few other things were left out as well.
6 Pokemon characters, nobody bats an eye. 6 FE characters, everyone loses their minds I get that FE is a small franchise in comparison, but I really don't see the problem with a character like Corrin. Those Dragon Fang transformations should make battling as or against him/her very interesting! Also, waiting on an infinite using the Dragon Lunge
I personally think that Nintendo needs to back off of amiibo a bit. If AC:AF has proven anything, games that require amiibo to work aren't successful or worth it. While I do think that more games supporting more amiibo is a good thing, making a fully-fledged game which makes them mandatory isn't the way to go.
Got Episode 1: Racer with my N64 recently, loved it! Don't play it as much now as I got Pokemon Stadium and MK64, but still a blast for people into that sort of thing.
Absolutely loving these new characters!
The Bayonetta artwork is insanely cool; the moon and the Clock Tower making the SSB logo in the background is an awesome detail!
