I prefer Turbo Hyper Fighting (Just called Hyper Fighting in the arcades) to New Challengers. Unfortunately the SNES never got the final game in the Street Fighter 2 series which is affectionately known as Super Turbo to my friends and in my opinion the best in the SF2 series!
Great to see Inafune finally making another game..most notably a Megaman clone. Pretty exciting really. Also wow this Kickstarter is really kicking along..$542,000 pledged and still 30 days to go!
It's a very good game but boy does it get hard quickly. The first boss was quite difficult (I died many times) and the switching mechanic is a little confusing because certain moves also auto switch but regardless it's a beautiful and original platformer!
Nintendo Australia becomes a bigger joke as time goes on! I can't even begin to fathom how you would not release a Zelda bundle here like Nintendo is doing elsewhere. I'm also sad on a personal level that the Ganondorf figurine isn't coming here!
Lensoftruth.com put the Wii U version as the one to get. I have the game and apart from the load times, I have no complaints about the games performance.
While no one can complain about new ip, why can't we have both. I bought Ninja Gaiden RE and so the expectation is that the NG series will now continue on Wii U!
You can't help but respect these guys. It's great to see non 1st party developers pushing Nintendo hardware. They are like the spiritual successors to Factor 5!
Why Capcom? The Street Fighter series is amongst my all time favourites and I bought every Wii VC Street Fighter title too. Considering Ultra SF4 isn't coming to Wii U, I sadly very much doubt that SF5 will ever come to Wii U but I would love to be wrong!
@Spoony_Tech - Yeah I read the review and agree but once you get the tables downloaded, it's gameplay is deserving of at least an 8 in my opinion. However I don't think the review was unfair and subsequently Zen updated the game to allow you to download the tables in game instead of having to jump out and go to the eshop separately!
Thank you Nintendolife. Now I can buy this game because I trust your reviews more than any site out there (though giving Zen Pinball 2 a 7 was harsh..lol)!
@NMH-TRI - When you mean a replacement do you mean for any console or what? RC-Pro AM (NES) and Rock N Roll Racing (SNES) were great but more recently the Wii Ware game Driift was pretty cool!
Good on him. I agree that putting their games would probably greatly improve their short term profit but also devalue the company as a whole. While the future of console gaming may be up in the air, I think it still provides more stability than joining the hundreds of thousands of developers on Smart phone and tablet based gaming!
Pretty good although I'm still unsure it is enough to convince people the Gamepad is not just an accessory for the Wii despite the last screen stating that the Wii U is a new console!
If Namco are so adamant to make a new genre for Pacman, how about a Runner style 2d game with the ghosts chasing behind you? Miss enough power pellets and they catch you. If my idea sounds unappealing, it would still be a better game than all the 3D platformers Pacman has starred in over the years!
@ThomasBW84 - My sentiments exactly. Personally I am very happy they included the online co-op. I live alone and appreciate the online options and it's great to finally have another co-operative online game after Monster Hunter 3U! If only Pikmin 3 MP was online
Already downloaded this. I never played the Gameboy Color version and getting a physical copy is impossible (unless you have a fortune) so very happy that this came to the VC!
Yes of course the 0 current intall base on PS4/XBO has shown the neccesary demand for the game, while us 4 million odd Wii U owners need to prove a business case for the game. Just when I thought Capcom was going to treat us well this generation along comes this crap!
I used to keep a mate informed of the status of this game and along the way became excited myself. I did like Chaos Theory so I will be picking this up.
Surely there must be a market here in the West for at least some sort of Instant Messaging service. Regardless of it's sales potential it would be a nice feature to compliment the 3DS!
Hmm I love the idea but I'm worried about the depth of it's gameplay when all the cars are on rails. I will wait for the Nintendolife review but I'm interested!
I just can't see it happening! Iwata has said in the past that Nintendo has enough cash reserves to allow a failure and then try again. If they miss targets then he will likely convince shareholders that they should try again for success with their next consoles!

Re: Image & Form Discuss How SteamWorld Dig Became Such A Success
I still haven't picked it up but only because I have a backlog of things to play on 3DS. Soon though!

Re: Video: The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker HD Has a Gorgeous New Story Trailer
It looks really beautiful! Great trailer!
Re: Talking Point: What Games Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue Sixteen
It's an all Ubisoft weekend for me with both Splinter Cell: Blacklist and Rayman Legends stealing my time.

Re: Assault Android Cactus Will Blast Its Way to the Wii U eShop
@Cohort - Soon as I saw the picture, I thought about Smash TV.
Anyway looks like my kind of game.
Re: Wii Party U Dated, Will Come Bundled With a Wii Remote Plus Controller
While this is good, how many parents are going to think this is a new game and controller bundle for the original Wii?
Re: Splinter Cell Blacklist Wii U Version's Performance Put Under the Spotlight
Lensoftruth.com put the Wii U version as the one to get. I have the game and apart from the load times, I have no complaints about the games performance.
Re: Review: Rayman Legends (Wii U)
Wow I was hesitating but it looks like I will need to pick this up pronto!
Re: Team Ninja Still Keen To Continue Wii U Support, But Not With Ports
While no one can complain about new ip, why can't we have both. I bought Ninja Gaiden RE and so the expectation is that the NG series will now continue on Wii U!
Re: Petit Computer Looks Set for the 3DS
I just read a post about some programmers recreating Megaman 1 on Petit Computer. It looked awesome!
Re: Retro City Rampage is Totally Coming to the 3DS eShop
I didn't buy it on Wii and would love it on Wii U but I will buy this on 3DS!
Re: Video: New Trailer Blasts Away Confusion Over Summer Carnival '92 RECCA
Wow that looks amazing for an NES game.

Re: EnjoyUp Games Bringing Shmup, Codenamed Project Aguraki, to the Wii U eShop
Unless this turns out terribly, I will likely pick it up. I'm a sucker for a shoot em up!
Re: Capcom Has No Plans For Street Fighter on Wii U Just Yet
Why Capcom? The Street Fighter series is amongst my all time favourites and I bought every Wii VC Street Fighter title too. Considering Ultra SF4 isn't coming to Wii U, I sadly very much doubt that SF5 will ever come to Wii U but I would love to be wrong!

Re: Runner 2 Good Friends Character Pack DLC Dashes Onto Wii U on 15th August
I would of have loved some new levels. While I recently finished Runner 2, I didn't even use the whole roster of current characters!
Re: WayForward Confirms Mighty Switch Force! 2 For Wii U
I have held off from buying it on 3DS as I'm waiting for the Wii U version. Loved MSF on Wii U!
Re: Ghost Song: A Journey of Hope Could Come to Wii U if Kickstarter Stretch Goal is Met
This looks pretty interesting but makes you wonder what a 2D sequel to Super Metroid would look like if Nintendo were to make one!
Re: TNT Racers: Nitro Machines Edition Screeching into The Wii U eShop Next Month
@NMH-TRI - When you mean a replacement do you mean for any console or what? RC-Pro AM (NES) and Rock N Roll Racing (SNES) were great but more recently the Wii Ware game Driift was pretty cool!
Re: Video: This Monster Hunter 4 Trailer May Be The Best Yet
I hope this comes to Wii U but if not I will definitely get it on 3DS. It looks awesome alright!

Re: SteamWorld Dig Is Breaking The Surface Early In Europe And Australia
Hurry up with that review Nintendolife, it looks my kind of game but I won't bite unless you guys tell me it's good!
Re: Video: UK Comic Rufus Hound Explains The Wii U Difference
Pretty good although I'm still unsure it is enough to convince people the Gamepad is not just an accessory for the Wii despite the last screen stating that the Wii U is a new console!
Re: First Impressions: Pac-Man and the Ghostly Adventures (3DS)

Already downloaded this. I never played the Gameboy Color version and getting a physical copy is impossible (unless you have a fortune) so very happy that this came to the VC!
Re: Nintendo Not Accepting Independent Wii U Developers Based in Japan "At This Time"
This boggles my mind. I would love to know the reasoning behind this.
Re: This GoldenEye 007 Wristwatch Is For Your Eyes Only
Looks cool but the price is a little too cheap which make me suspect the actual watch isn't very good!
Re: Nintendo Comments On EarthBound's Inflated Pricing
After waiting years for the game to come out, a few extra bucks isn't going to make me complain. Now how about Mother 3!
Re: Giana Sisters: Twisted Dreams Aiming For August Arrival on the Wii U eShop
Wow August is turning out to be a great month. Not so great for my wallet though!
Re: Strider Could Come To The Wii U eShop "If There's Demand For It"
Yes of course the 0 current intall base on PS4/XBO has shown the neccesary demand for the game, while us 4 million odd Wii U owners need to prove a business case for the game. Just when I thought Capcom was going to treat us well this generation along comes this crap!
Re: Video: New Splinter Cell Blacklist Trailer Gets Dramatic
I used to keep a mate informed of the status of this game and along the way became excited myself. I did like Chaos Theory so I will be picking this up.
Re: Purchase Pikmin 3 And Receive A 30% eShop Discount On The Wonderful 101
@dudey300 - I don't even have an external HDD so fitting them both onto my Wii U will be unlikely. I heard Pikmin 3 is 3-4 GB but unsure about W101!
Re: Purchase Pikmin 3 And Receive A 30% eShop Discount On The Wonderful 101
Wow I'm in a dilemma now. Not sure if I will get them in physical or digital forms.
Re: New 3DS eShop App Brings Voice and Text Chat to Japan
Surely there must be a market here in the West for at least some sort of Instant Messaging service. Regardless of it's sales potential it would be a nice feature to compliment the 3DS!
Re: Wii U Version of Mighty Switch Force! 2 Rated By PEGI
I have enjoyed the 1st Mighty Switch Force on Wii U more than the 3DS version so I will be happy when the sequel comes too!
Re: Still No Word On Scribblenauts Unlimited EU Release, Despite Unmasked Announcement
@Kohaku - You don't need region free to get the game. Import it from Australia and it will work just fine!
Re: Wii U Summer System Update Pushed Back To The Fall
This update has improved loading times again, so the Wii U Ui is getting better incrementally. I wonder what the major update will do!
Re: HTR High Tech Racing Will Turn Your 3DS Into A Pocket-Sized Scalextric
Hmm I love the idea but I'm worried about the depth of it's gameplay when all the cars are on rails. I will wait for the Nintendolife review but I'm interested!
Re: Review: Star Wars Pinball (Wii U eShop)
So excited. I've already put in over 165 hours on Zen Pinball 2...so really looking forward to this for some new tables.
@Tethers - Considering at this stage there are only 3 tables, I imagine it shouldn't be a problem!
Re: Review: Sonic Drift 2 (3DS eShop / Game Gear)
Wow I never knew this was any good. Guess being a Nintendo only gamer at the time made me ignorant!
Re: Nintendo Will Allow Super Smash Bros. Melee Stream From EVO 2013
Well done Nintendo. They were going to cop my disdain via Miiverse but thankfully common sense has prevailed!
Re: Investment Expert Feels Nintendo Earnings Miss Will Trigger Multi-Platform Approach
I just can't see it happening! Iwata has said in the past that Nintendo has enough cash reserves to allow a failure and then try again. If they miss targets then he will likely convince shareholders that they should try again for success with their next consoles!
Re: Video: New Project CARS Footage Gets Down to Nuts and Bolts
Looking excellent. Bring on 2014 already!
