I remember when I was in the 8th grade visiting Universal Studios Los Angeles and was so excited to find out that Nintendo was holding some sort of traveling thing where they were letting people try out games that hadn't been released yet and Mega Man 3 was one of those games. It was so awesome!
I will probably download Ages first and then Seasons (which was my favorate) when I beat ages. I always loved how you could get a password when you beat one which gives you a final boss level with Ganon. I remember that I played it on my Advance since they came out right around the time that it came out.
I don't really get how the NFC tech would work well on a Wii U controller since anything that you place on the screen is going to get knocked off fairly quickly when someone starts playing the game.
This is awesome! I loved them when they came out. Pretty much every list that I've read of games that need to come out on the 3DS VC has had these two games as #1.
I'm curious though if it will have the special Ganon boss when you play the two back to back and enter somesort of code if I remember correctly. Can't wait for it to come out.
Darn, I was hoping that since Europe got Castlevania and since the 3DS version was coming out that we would have gotten it here in North America ether last week or this.
I got Paper Mario and Kirby and both seem fun, the Kirby seems like a color version of the gameboy game, but still very fun. I wish that I had enough for Metal Torrent. This is the first time in awile that most of the offered games are good.
I say lets get the pitchforks and storm the castle! I don't have a Wii U yet and it still bugs me that they are doing this. I'm curious if the Xbox and Playstation versions will even have the 5th player since theres no tabler controller for those systems.
That might have been interesting since Sega is one of the only companies that has a history and characters as old as Nintendo. I would have liked to have seen that happen.
So I'm curious with the Wii U version if it will use the new controller tenology as the Portal or if the Wii U owners will still have to buy a new portal.
Yeah I remember calling them and could tell that they were trying to look up the answer that I was asking and of course since you were paying by the minute that added time to your parents bill.
I do like the idea of multiple play though, It would be cool if the different players could break off and be in a totally different part of the world had each have to turn some knob or something.
I'm not sure about this I like the fact that some dungons are harder then others and that you need certain items to progress in later levels. I usually don't like it when they mess around with what works. Like I hated the two DS games (personal opion, don't flame me) how they they took away the ability to walk around and explore in place of boats and trains. But who knows, hopefully I'll love this game just as much as Skyward Sword.
I buy at Target unless Gamestop has a pre-order promo that I like or a game that I want. Like I bought the Lego games at Gamestop because of the free minifigures and Xenoblade there both because of the free concept art book and because I could only get it there.
I love his last quote how the transferability needs to become a lot easyer then downloading, as I said before my Wii broke down and I wanted to just get a new one and transfer the downloaded games and then I found out that Nintendo doesn't allow that and that all downloaded games are tied to the downloaded console. Frankly Nintendo needs to loosen these sort of things, piracy is always going to happens as this guy said, but if Nintendo made things easyer to download and transfer then pirating then more people would go the leagal route, Nintendo is only shooting itself in the foot and creating more piracy by having these silly restrictions.
I know that the Art Director of the Thundercats show was complaining that when the show was in production (its officially dead now) that EB was actually thinking of working with TT games and Lego (which they own) to do a Lego Thundercats series of toys and game, but I guess that since its now dead they Lego toke their designs and changed them enough to still have something like it, but different enough to not get sued.
I agree that the messures against piracy hurt those who don't pirate more then those who do. My Wii recently broke down and I have tons of downloads that I paid for. I wanted to buy a cheap replace ment and just more the games over via an SD card, but I can't since Nintendo has these silly non piracy messures that tie anything downloaded to my first Wii.
Oh when I saw this article I assumed that it was being made for the 3DS e-shop, they should have done that. probably would have been more work though converting it?
I really don't have a problem with these ads, Its just like with the Wii, Nintendo's going for the casual player. Heck I'll bet that they still will run these type of ads with the Wii U along with the harecore "gamers". I see nothing wrong with it.
So theres all of this talk from console owners about being worried about tablets and phone games, Im curious it during meeting at Apple, etc. if console competition s even brought up? I wonder if they are trying to take a bite out of consoles or if they even care and are just making games to make games.
I love this idea, we can continue to recieve new levels and not have the burnout of too many games. I really hope they do seasonal levels like a Halloween level a Christmas level, etc.
Man that sounds awesome, I really hope that he does get to do it, because he really seems to have a passion for these characters! Can't wait for both Mickey games. I also really hope that we get the Ducktales games for the Wii & Gameboy VCs.
Those who still have the original issues should hold onto them, now that Nintendo Power is almost gone I would bet that they become instant collector items. It would be even worth a lot more for a complete set.
Man thats horrible! I remember seeing the first issue at my friends house and soon after got my own subcription. I stopped around the late 90's because I was busy with college but a few years ago picked it p again and now my sons are hooked on it! Its a huge blow, EGM and Gamepro are both pretty bad hen it comes to Nintendo news. Nintendo Life and IGN are both awesome, but somehow Nintendo Power always had a fresh prespective and stuff that even NL & IGN didnt have yet, (and thats not knocking NL & IGN's awesomeness). Nintendo Power will sorely be missed, I'm supprised that they didn't just offer free digital downloads like Entertainment Weekly does for their subscribers. The original article on arstechnica.com did say that Nintendo was extremely hard to work with. Oh well.
I was already planning on downloading Wario and the (on sale) Super Mario Bros. I'll have to looking into Mole also. So tomorrow is the last of the announced VC games that were given a release date, since Sonic hasn't been released this month does that mean that we will get another release schedule of new games for August also? I really hope so, maybe some Advance games like Minish cap along with more NES ones like Zelda 2, etc?
I'm definately getting this, but I'm a little worried about the on-line aspect. I went to Gamestop yesterday and they only recieved 2 copies since no one had pre-ordered it. So I'm worried that its going to be like Shinobi, a great game but streetpassing with it sucks. I went to Comic-Con last weekend and got around 200 hundred streetpasses and only 6 of them had Shinobi. Oh well I'm still getting it reguardless, just because of how fun it is.
Awesome! I'm going on Friday & Saturday! Man I can't wait for all of the Street Passing, since I've been pretty dry for awhile now and still need 4 Mario Tennis pieces.

Re: Paper Mario, Kirby Super Star and More Join Club Nintendo Rewards

That might have been interesting since Sega is one of the only companies that has a history and characters as old as Nintendo. I would have liked to have seen that happen.

I'm really glad that this is got a great rating here, IGN bashed the game and gave it something like a 6.8 or something.

Re: Nintendo Power Magazine Looks Set to Shut Down
Those who still have the original issues should hold onto them, now that Nintendo Power is almost gone I would bet that they become instant collector items. It would be even worth a lot more for a complete set.
Re: Nintendo Power Magazine Looks Set to Shut Down
Man thats horrible! I remember seeing the first issue at my friends house and soon after got my own subcription. I stopped around the late 90's because I was busy with college but a few years ago picked it p again and now my sons are hooked on it! Its a huge blow, EGM and Gamepro are both pretty bad hen it comes to Nintendo news.

Re: Mole Mania Burrows onto US eShop Tomorrow
I was already planning on downloading Wario and the (on sale) Super Mario Bros. I'll have to looking into Mole also. So tomorrow is the last of the announced VC games that were given a release date, since Sonic hasn't been released this month does that mean that we will get another release schedule of new games for August also? I really hope so, maybe some Advance games like Minish cap along with more NES ones like Zelda 2, etc?
Re: Retail Download Cards in Japan Set For Small Discount
It would be awesome if they did what Marvel is doing where when you buy a comic you get a code for a free download of a digital version.
Re: Out Now: Heroes of Ruin Lands in North America
I'm definately getting this, but I'm a little worried about the on-line aspect. I went to Gamestop yesterday and they only recieved 2 copies since no one had pre-ordered it. So I'm worried that its going to be like Shinobi, a great game but streetpassing with it sucks. I went to Comic-Con last weekend and got around 200 hundred streetpasses and only 6 of them had Shinobi. Oh well I'm still getting it reguardless, just because of how fun it is.
Re: 3DS XL and Upcoming Titles Head to Comic-Con
Awesome! I'm going on Friday & Saturday! Man I can't wait for all of the Street Passing, since I've been pretty dry for awhile now and still need 4 Mario Tennis pieces.
Re: Interview: Dave Cox - Castlevania: Mirror of Fate
Theres so many great games coming out this fall for the Wii and 3DS, maybe this is good that it might be bad so that my wallet doesn't suffer.
