Hipster Bait

Really dont think the price of this is too bad considering it will only appeal to a niche audience, having recently purchased gdrom emu and saturn phoebe this seems cheap in comparison.

Another Sega Naomi classic shmup! Ikaruga next please

Earth wars is also up today and only 4 Euro too! Or Earth's Dawn as its known elsewhere, nothing amazing but a bargain at that price.

Playing this at the minute and its a decent port with a nice screen filter option. The awesome soundtrack has went missing a couple of times though but restarting the game seems to fix it.

Have the Arcade version of this and it's a blast, relatively easy 1cc also if you learn the pattern's, might double dip for some portability since a Sega Naomi can't be carried around easily ... playasia usually sends the code immediately after purchase.

@Skunkfish just click the ignore button and you won't have to read the drivel anymore... worked wonders for me and I can read the comment section again, still have to read the responses of course but if enough people ignore him it won't clog it up as much.

Ah that's great, many thanks mate!

@ballistic90 This idiot has all but ruined the comment section since he began posting here, rarely scroll past the articles anymore because there's bound to be some stupid nonsense his spouted. Never have I seen a more committed moaner, is there anyway I can block his comments from showing up here?

@OzHuski His only mad because he could'nt afford one, ignore.

I dont get the hype tbh, its a mid spec tablet with a detacable bluetooth controller, hdmi out and a nintendo os. Not very innovative by any stretch of the imagination, least not based on what we've currently seen. Hopefully more info will be released soon.

Picked up zelda picross shortly after launch, haven't been on it since. Awful in every way.

Plenty of free n64 emulators on PC more than capable of better than the virtual console experience. The price was ridiculous but then again so are the virtual console prices.

And the following day as a bonus they send out 500 dcma notices to all the die hard fans making great content they wont. Kimishima putting the boot in. So sad to see a company that once thought so much about there fans not give a damn about them now. Worse than sony or microsoft any day.

Basically every system? Hello Xbox one! Got this in an indie box so won't be double dipping, great game though and good news for the few that missed out on it elsewhere.

@LegendOfPokemon 2.33

@zool this ^^^

This is a full price retail game now??

@PinkSpider considering specialists from engadget we're present and opened up the console and took pictures of the internals, you'd have be a very skeptical person to believe at this stage that the console is anything but legit.

'but except it's a daft thing that happens' accept I think you meant here .

@6ch6ris6 anything that's as successful, highly regarded and critically acclaimed as MGSV is always going to have a small vocal minority who push the other way just because.... Sure the game has problems but was still incredible despite them which says a lot in itself.. I've over 120 hours put in now and still playing it trying to s rank all missions. Not sure why the article is here though, not like we'll ever see another main series title on Nintendo hardware

This is a news story? Seriously? Lol

Multiplayer was a blast on this, single player not so much unfortunately.

Would love to see phantasy star series done next, unlikely as it is can always dream.

@Grumblevolcano Could have put all ME games on one disc if they had fath in the system, capacity is around 25GB

@Kifa Agree with alot of what your saying mate, but the witcher 3 unplayable?? I've put in over 120 hours on it on xbone, or are you referring to pc version cause I've not played that one.

@Captain_Gonru "current gen" for almost two 2 years!!

@hYdeks I was actually being sarcastic, were not even getting 1 every 3 months, I finish a game and then spend months waiting for the next release, luckily I have an xbone in between to keep me occupied and play third party titles. Its got to be tough for wii u only owners though

@hYdeks I'd be happy with one every three months tbh

I certainly wont be buying another nintendo console at launch as I suspect others will be wary too giving all the broken promises and the last couple of gens. I wonder would nintendo ever consider making a regular power console again with a decent architecture to promote 3rd parties back. Gamepad was seriously underused and the waggle controls of the wii never appealed to me beyond the novelty.

@shani tinfoil hat man for sure and the nes zapper wasent and still isint rare at all, the others are only rare because less were produced as no one was buying because they were rubbish, completely different story with amiibo where they cant meet demand and to suggest nintendo's shareholders wouldent want the revenue microsoft has is ridiculous tbh.

As someone whos been with nintendo since the snes era I can honestly say I wont be blindly buying the next nintendo home console at launch and have genuinely lost faith in nintendo. I never thought I'd say that, there's been way to much bulls**t promises and outright lies at the end of the wii's cycle and into this one for me to blindly trust nintendo again going forward.

@MegaBeedrill

There's far more issues than just the graphics though, its not a metroid game. Metroid for me personally is about playing as samus, scanning, exploration, isolation. This game has none of that, its not metroid, if anyone believes a metroid game is about 'blast ball' iam sure they'll enjoy it.

Nintendo couldent give a damn about petitions or fans, Reggie said as much over the xenoblade one so it's a waste of time in truth. They seem to live in a bubble over there at nintendo its getting ridiculous at this stage.

@MadAdam81 The reasoning behind this was to extend the franchise to kids plain and simple, the hardcore will buy it anyway because it has the metroid name attached or so they believe, minimal risks an tbh what we've seen so far hasen't been exactly innovative.

It's never been more obvious than now that nintendo has zero respect for its fans and the bottom line is trying to make shareholders happy. I believe sony/microsoft have shown a far better balance between the two this year, between the ffvii remake, rare compilation, backwards compatibility etc, it shows thats fans are being listened to and there trying to meet their expectations. Nintendo just s**t on their loyalist supporters at every opportunity this gen giving games nobody wanted but somebody somewhere thought would sell to the casuals and the kids. Everything shown screamed cash and I wont be buying nintendos next console until the games I want are out on it near the end of its lifecycle.

I remember reggie apologising at the end of the wii's lifecycle that there werent enough titles for core and improving on it next time around and there's actually been nothing this gen, spare a few titles. It's obvious now the nx is the big focus for nintendo and that they've all but given up on the u and I for one wont be buying there bulls**t next time around. I dont actually care what they announce or the lies they speak, I'll hold onto the wii u for the last few titles because its worth nothing now and luckily I have an xbone but I wont buying there next home console based on false promises alone which tbh is what they've been peddling for years.

“What I’ll tell you is that with the Wii we did not have the benefit of multiplatform games from key publishers. I didn’t have The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim. I didn’t have the best of the Call of Duty games. That’s what I missed. With the Wii U’s graphics capability, processing power, and HD-output, we’ll get those games. That’s a huge competitive advantage versus where we were with the Wii.” Yeah right Reggie, why worry about core games when muck like wii fit sells so well.

@zip XL all the way for me, couldent go back to the smaller screen even if its a tiny bit bigger. Regarding pixels, dosent bother me in the slightest as someone who plays alot of retro games and loves virtual console games I dont even consider if the pixels are viewable or not. If the game is good its good, plus a game can still look great pixels and all, providing the art style is well done. Shovel Knight, 1001 spikes & cave story are recent examples.

Game is a minor diversion at best,as much as i loved it bitd at this stage it's fun for 5 minutes now and again at best. Would like if nintendo released this for free on 25th everywhere. It saysng alot about current gaming that were so interested in playing older games

I got my copy in Argos this morning no problem, if anyone is looking to pick it up.

Managed to pick up all second wave except little mac, which seems to be impossible to find atm...Have made sure to preorder future waves!

Argos are selling them today too in UK/Ireland should anyone want to pick it up!

Preordered the amiibo's I wanted from all waves online and got the white smash controller from play-asia so happy out!

No....not at all, where did I infer I was judging the entire 4 hour show? I was merely stating an opinion regarding what I did see of the show, no more no less. No need to state implicitly that someone is ignorant because you disagree or misunderstand with there comments. I clearly stated in the original post how much of the show I had seen and my opinions of that.

@RR529 As I said I only seen a small portion of the event perhaps it was just a playstation segment or something but there were way to many ads, like every five minutes. I know they have to fund the event somehow but at times it was almost impossible to distinguish between 'world premiere' and the ads that followed. Most were for games that were already receiving significant airtime during the event anyways. It was all shadow of mordor or far cry 4.

I really detest Kneighly and couldent watch more than 20 mins without turning off, glad nintendo picked up a few awards but they should have picked up more, I found what I seen of the show pretty cringeworthy in fairness and it was laden with sponsorship and promotion. I thought it was a sony event for a minute. The whole 'world premiere' thing was just too much for me.

Played this on ipad and its fairly rough in fairness, hope they fix it up before release. I love the warhammer universe but the game just wasent great.

@chiptoon I bought it on american 3ds on release and recently picked up the pal wii u version and I have to say Wii U is the way to go if deciding between the two, you can really appreciate the art design on the bigger screen and with a proper stick it controls better too. Only disadvantage is obviously the 3d & portability but I turn off the 3d most of the time after a while.

@sketchturner So can I, just added an amount for shovel knight.

An 8 here, really enjoyed it having not played the original wiiware release. Plenty of challenge and great presentation.
