Re: Talking Point: The Future of No-Frills Emulation on the eShop

komicturtle

I'm calling it:

Nintendo will release all their VC games on Wii on 3DS at once at some point (maybe even when the Wii U arrives).

That Club Nintendo account will come in real handy once they link accounts (I mean actually link for crossover downloads between Wii, 3DS and WiiU).

It's bound to happen. And that means awesome SNES games on the go along with all the other choices on VC (I didn't buy many at all, to be honest...)

Re: Analogue Stick Add-On for 3DS Revealed

@highwinter
Is this really made by Capcom?

I think the pictures makes this think look big because the described dimensions makes it sound a smaller than what it appears. I was hoping it would be a clip that connects to the side and the slide pad would be under the face buttons so it'd be very thin and comfy.

Have to get my hands on this to even judge it right.

Re: Dragon Quest X Requires Online Connection

komicturtle

Well, I'm willing to pay a monthly fee for an online DQ game over WoW.

As long as the game is stable and has no issues plaguing it. I can't wait to play this game. I hope DQXI goes back to the standard DQ fare- maybe a small online mode that sort of replicates the local play of DQIX.

Re: Talking Point: The Five Remaining GBA Ambassador Games

komicturtle

Wario Land 4? Yes.

Kirby Nightmare in Dreamland? Yes.

Mother 3? Well, yes. But it's not gonna happen.

Hope one Golden Sun makes it in. Also, Mario Golf Advance Tour is an amazing game. Power Tennis disappointed me in terms of comparing it to Golf- how it was handled. But still loads of fun.

Sword of Mana would be cool too, also published by Nintendo. Mario&Luigi would defintely be cool to have.

Oh, and how about Pokemon Pinball RS?

Re: Dragon Quest X Goes Online for Wii and Wii U

komicturtle

Actually, Nintendo has plenty to do with whether or not this comes to NA (which it will). Remember that partnership SE made with Nintendo to bring the DQ games and promote them heavily in the states? The last few DQ games were published by Nintendo.

This one is going to be the same. Since it was confirmed last year, anyhow, that Nintendo of America will be publishing this game.

Re: Round Table: Looking Back at the Star Fox Series

komicturtle

Star Fox 64 is one of my favorite games of all time. I must have played through it 30 something times (Campaign).

I did enjoy SF Adventures and Assault. I just wished Assault was strictly flying, because the on-foot gameplay is better when you're playing against someone else.

Re: A New Dragon Quest Announcement Approaches

komicturtle

No. The Dragon Quest announced for 3DS last year was not specifically that rocket Slime spin-off. It was simply refering to the Dragon Quest series as a whole coming to 3DS (if you look very closely, it even says Dragon Quest series, and to the left, Final Fantasy series). And 3DS is pretty much getting two games from the Final Fantasy series- a rumored 4 Warriors of Light sequel that was in line with MHTriG and that rhythem game from Sega- the latter which came true.

Re: A New Dragon Quest Announcement Approaches

komicturtle

Hope more info is shared on the 3DS DQ too. I'm real excited for DQX and cannot wait to see where they take it. Hope it doesn't take too long to localize but it seems like it might be the case

It might make it to the states in 2013 by that time....

Re: Expect New Product Announcements at 3DS Conference

komicturtle

Uhm, yes. There is way to attach the second pad, people. The AV port? They can do a Wii Motion + stunt and have the attachment have a port for the charger so you can charge and play with the second slide pad (Wii motion plus had a port to connect the nunchuck- basically 2 things connected to the remote at once.

That makes the most sense of where to put it, but the attachment has to be real flat so you can close the 3DS with the pad still in. It's entirely possible, so don't go freakin' out now.

Whether or not it will happen is the only thing that's keeping it from actually being real. 01net seem to be casually and nonchalantly bash Nintendo and the recent rumor of WiiU sounds.. well, whatever. Has nothing to do with the final product and it's too early to even worry.

I'm just very curious to see what the big title could be. Nothing is bigger than Smash Bros, so what is it?

well, maybe the Mother games because of how popular and sought after they are in Japan (with a fan base even bigger than Advance Wars and even Pikmin here in the states I'd say).

Re: Expect New Product Announcements at 3DS Conference

komicturtle

As someone just mentioned: Mother Trilogy plz. Or Mother 4!

Kirby 3DS would steal the show for me. But bringing back Nintendo's old franchises such as Balloon Fight and Ice Climber would make my day.

Hopefully, Nintendo will launch an update for 3DS that brings text messaging, voice chat (across games), video recording as well as a player to watch videos from the SD Card. I'd love that.

Re: NES Ambassador Games Available in Europe Now

komicturtle

@Highwinter
Ew, really? I had no idea the PAL version was slow in the first place...

Heck, I never beat SMB :3
I should get on that now that I have the game on a handheld. Hope Nintendo brings the whole VC NES games to 3DS like they did with DSiware. And hopefully, SNES too.

I really want the border of NES games to be a retro television lol

Re: Talking Point: eShop Card Delay Proves Nintendo Still Doesn't Get It

komicturtle

Did anyone know- there is a Nintendo of Canada? :3

No, but seriously- it's not all of Nintendo. Just NoE it seems. Them cards have been out here in the states a month before eShop opened up. So, NoA is ahead and does get it

And it could also be whoever makes dem cards. Fast Card does the eShop and Nintendo Points card. Might not really be Nintendo directly after all...

Re: NES Ambassador Games for North America Available Now

komicturtle

lol It takes 3 seconds to download like GB games

Also: I've been playing Yoshi for a bit and I actually like it. Maybe because it's better suited for handheld gaming? I'm just glad I have these sweet NES games on the go. Bummer we won't get 3D Classics Balloon Fight.

I also want to learn to play that golf game. Kinda hard...

Re: Analyst Predicts Monster Hunter Announcement at TGS 2011

komicturtle

@waltz
So 0 units of Vita out in the public versus 5+ mil of 3DS- the former gets MH HD...

No. It's just MH sells Sony's portables. Units sold have really nothing to do with anything in this case. and because Capcom enjoyed the success of Tri- they know Nintendo fans would want MH on 3DS.

Dual sticks or not.

Re: Rumour: Nintendo Readying Big Announcement Next Month

komicturtle

If Apple does acquire Nintendo I'll be disappointed about Apple's products being too overpriced and kinda.. fragile. Well, iPods are sturdy. Not so much the others.

Even then, Nintendo would never allow Apple even if they could afford Nintendo- Microsoft couldn't, neither can Apple. And with the way Apple's products work with revision after revision and how these revisions add "more power" which affects apps, sometimes most, I wouldn't be happy.

Anyhow, can't wait for this announcement. Anyone heard about the two new Fire Emblem games- two versions? That's exciting. Rumor, but exciting and plausible.

Re: Review: Xenoblade Chronicles (Wii)

komicturtle

Hoping this game comes out. DQX is definitely coming here in NA considering NoA's push for the series. I know NoA is bringing this of the other two here. I just don't see the reason not to. And I'd like to see an epic game like this on 3DS.

Baten Kaitos 3DS plz.

Re: Rayman Origins 3DS Screenshots Look Good, Don't They?

komicturtle

No, avoid the DS version. It was the first time i played Rayman 2 and although I liked the game, you're better off playing the 3DS version, 64, Dreamcast or download the PSone version off PSN on PSP or PS3.

Anyhow, I'm definitely getting this version

I have enough games on my other consoles and because it seems to resemble the console versions, I'll gladly pick it up no problem.

Re: Nintendo Download: 18th August 2011 (North America)

komicturtle

I wonder how Japan's VC is turning out... They always get the best end of the stick. I'm surprised that there is 3 DSiware games a week. Hopefully, this happens for original 3DS titles. I really want that Wild West- armadillo game (and Nintendo's new IP that will obviously be overlooked- just as their other new IPs recently).

Please pick up the pace with the GB VC. Unless the games are so old that there may be licensing issues. Bring out Kirby's Dreamland 2, Pokemon Puzzle League, Dragon Warrior 3, Wario Land games, Kirby Star Stacker, G&W series (2 and 3)... Oh, and Dragon Warrior Monsters!

Re: Wii Budget Range Grows with Super Mario Galaxy and More

komicturtle

I'll be getting Punch Out!!!

I already have the others

I recommend Wario Land and Excite Bots to be the next- even though you can get them for $20 at Best Buy.

Oh, and maybe Metroid Prime 3. I got the Trilogy set for $20 on sale at Best Buy the same year it came out for Christmas. Best $20 I've spent. Next day, it shot back to $50. Maybe Nintendo will think of selling Metroid Trilogy + Other M for $25 or $30 to celebrate Metroid's 25th? Stranger things has happened.

Re: Talking Point: The Great Nintendo 3DS Price Drop Debate

komicturtle

I think the 3DS had better launch games than DS. Remember how bad it was then? There's more better launch games on 3DS than DS launch games.

Anyhow, I'm not concerned much about the success of the 3DS, especially with this price drop. iTouch and other tablet devices won't really kill the 3DS- lack of software as well as creative software will. I'll be keeping my iPod Nano for music and 3DS for on-the go gaming (and at home, since I have a preference of hanhelds vs home consoles). I'll also avoid gaming on my phone (simple messaging phone to be upgraded to a smartphone possibly). I'd probably get a smartphone for web browsing or even use it as a hotspot to connect my 3DS online

No problem carrying 3 devices feeding off their own battery than just one.

And of course, this is just my situation that I'm sure there are those who'd agree or be in a similar situation.
