I wonder if this thing will be sold in stores. A local retro store sells the Retron 5 and other stuff, but I haven't heard or seen anything on Hyperkin's page that suggests otherwise.
I know the Extreme-G series was not a part of Nintendo, but that was one of my favorite futuristic racers. They made a third game for the Gamecube, but it doesn't compare to the first two on the N64.
Anyway, I really hope F-Zero makes a comeback.Even a remake would be nice.
Exciting news. Also, it's interesting that he mentions sequels, not just one more. Hopefully, it goes toward a retail release for 3DS, no eshop. Or maybe, even a Wii U release. That would fill in a gap of this genre.
I just can't get passed it, but these look like stickers or something that were slapped on the system. The 3DS that looked well done was the LOZ theme.
@gage_wolf Totally agree. Most Wii titles can be picked up cheap too.
I say bring some Gamecube remasters like Star Fox Assault, Luigi's Mansion, F-Zero GX, Mario Sunshine, Custom Robo, Fire Emblem, or Mario Strikers to name a few.
@Nik-Davies It would be a good idea to get a new hard drive, but I don't do digital downloads for games, unless they're e-shop only. Not to mention game saves and demos take space too. It's just that I won't use all the space in a 500gb hard drive.
There are too many games I need to catch up on... Pikmin 3, Monster Hunter Ultimate, The Last Story and Xenoblade. Then there are games I want to pick up this weekend... Windwaker, Metroid Prime Trilogy, Pokemon Y.
Did the same thing, got a 32 gb stick and my memory problem was solved. Who knows how that will last though.
It's still lame that out of the 8gb for the white system, only 3 gb is available. Occasionally, I might purchase a download only game and 3 gbs are not enough. The game saves also take up space.
Nintendo should have just had a white 32gb without the extras and still call it a basic set.
Everything about Earthbound made me excited when I first played it. The opening title screen, the introduction to pick names, the music, the quirky dialogue, the weird enemies... etc.
I can agree to some point. It's just that they have new "concepts" for almost the same IP's.
It wouldn't hurt to make Star Fox U, with local/online co-op to take on special quests. A balance between ground or water missions would be good, but I think for the most part, we all love the air combat.
Not to mention F-Zero U, with local/online, racer customization, story mode, and new tracks.
A Metroid Prime Hunters kind of game for the Wii U would be amazing as well. Not necessarily a sequel, but something with multiplayer and new story.
On another note, they also need to adjust the Smash Ball. I don't like how it's just a random power up and not to mention a one hit kill. At least make it blockable or make it brake your shield.
A meter would be great to use to build up your final smash. It could be based on how much damage you've given or taken that determines when you get the final smash attack.
Brawl was flawed here and there. No balancing in characters... Metaknight was even banned for tourneys! Anyway, this sounds like a good direction. I hope they expand on the stamina percent mode. It would be nice to extend how much damage each player can have. One on one with 999% anyone? I think that would be as close as a traditional fighter mode it could be.

Now this is awesome. Please let this make it over here!
Re: Dementium Remastered Pricing Confirmed as Renegade Kid Looks Ahead to Release
Ah yes! The first two games were fun, even with their flaws. Just hope this does well to warrant a third chapter to finish the story.
Re: Rumour: Nintendo Plotting amiibo Super Mario Collection Meltdown With Gold and Silver Editions
Hmmm
Gold status= Gold Mario?
Platinum status= Silver Mario?
Or the other way around
Re: Starr Mazer Wii U and 3DS Stretch Goals Announced
I almost thought this said Mazzy Star. Anway, I hope this makes it!
Re: Poll: As amiibo Expands and Evolves, Which Features Are You Most Excited About?
I just don't see a point to them yet other than being collectables. Give me a game where all the amiibo are playable. Like an open world game.
Micro unlockables are just not that great.
Re: Get Ready For The Most Expensive Video Game Auction Of All Time
They're playing videogames the wrong way...
Re: Poll: Who'll Be Your Main amiibo Buddy?
I'll vote when Ness and Duck Hunt get added

Re: Battleminer Screens Show Some Familiar Block Building On the Way to 3DS
These developers should join forces and make a Wii U/ 3DS cross-play version.
Re: Mother 4 Is On The Way, But It's Not Being Made By Nintendo
Eh, it's not official.

Re: This Fan-Made NES 3DS XL Offers a Cool Alternative Design
I can just buy a NES controller sticker for 99 cents.
Boom, NES limited edition
Re: Demo for Super Smash Bros. 3DS Announced for North America and Europe
Wow so this is where it's happening. Late to the partay again!
Re: NES-Themed Nintendo 3DS XL On The Way as GameStop Exclusive
I just can't get passed it, but these look like stickers or something that were slapped on the system. The 3DS that looked well done was the LOZ theme.
Re: Watch Dogs Wii U Release Dates Confirmed
@KillScottKill
Totally agree.
You finally get a 3rd party game, and now the support drops. Who cares if it's released at a later date.
Re: Fifa 15 Coming to Wii and 3DS on the 26th of September
I'd rather support the Football Pocket game, if it ever has a release in the states.
Re: Feature: HD Remasters That Would Be Perfect for Wii U

Re: Weirdness: How to Order Earthbound-Themed Japanese Old Folks' Undergarments
Maybe it's a sign or a hint or a message or a tease!!! Ahhhh Mother 3!?
Re: Gallery: A Closer Look at the GameCube-Inspired Wired Fight Pads
I hope there is a Mother/ Earthbound controller...
Re: Latest Wii U System Update Allows Console To Console Data Transfer
Oh snap... it's finally happened. Time to go bargain hunting for a deluxe console!
Re: HullBreach Studios Bringing New RPG, Tomeling, Exclusively to Wii U
@JJtheTexan
Couldn't agree more. It's like the Wii's shovelware curse is transitioning onto the Wii U's eshop...
Re: Nintendo 64 Titles Heading to the Wii U Virtual Console
This has been on the website for a long time now. I don't know how anyone could have missed it.
Re: Eiji Aonuma Vows to Reduce Hand-Holding in Future Zelda Installments
I never ran into that battery reminder at all when I played the game. Other than that, it wasn't that bad. Skyward Sword is still one of my favorites.
The Golden Super Leaf on the other hand...
Re: Mario Kart 8 Smart Device Website or App on the Way
So, a system transfer from Wii U to Wii U is possible now? Maybe I'll be picking up another console... but I gotta look more into that.
Anyway, it would be nice to have an app for online games. Not just MK8. And you can choose which games you have, see your ranking, stats etc.
Re: Review: Child of Light (Wii U eShop)
Dang, I just got NES Remix 2. But I've been looking forward to this game! It's almost time!
Re: Video: Learn More About the Stunning Art Style and Sound in Child of Light
Will be getting for Wii U. Looks great!
Re: 3DS eShop Exclusive Nintendo Pocket Football Club Will Be On Special Offer Until May
I really hope this comes to NA sooner or later.
Re: Interview: Renegade Kid Discusses Its Cult County Kickstarter Adventure, With Wii U Included
In that case, Renegade Kid can start development on Dementium III.
Not a fan of this episode thing, just give me the whole game at once, and I'll buy it!
Still though, good to see this on Wii U. I'll be on the lookout for it.
Re: Renegade Kid Confirms a Console Game Kickstarter Campaign for 2nd April
Dementium 3 for Wii U!
Re: Pure Chess DLC Will Be Available Day One, And Won't Cost As Much As You Think
Just one more day. Can't wait for some chess, but which system to get it for...
Re: Pikachu And His Pokémon Pals Are Throwing Their Support Behind Japan's World Cup 2014 Campaign
Imagine an Inazuma Eleven type soccer game, with all Pokemon as eligible players! Anyway, this is pretty awesome. Can't wait for June!

Re: Refurbished Wii U Deluxe Systems Now $200 on Nintendo of America Site
Wow, $200 for the Deluxe Set? I would definitely upgrade but there is no system/account transfer to another Wii U.
Re: Nintendo Download: 26th December (North America)
No Pure Chess?
Odd that the Nintendo page has it pegged for December 26.
Oh well.
Re: Talking Point: What Games Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue Eighteen
There are too many games I need to catch up on... Pikmin 3, Monster Hunter Ultimate, The Last Story and Xenoblade.
Then there are games I want to pick up this weekend... Windwaker, Metroid Prime Trilogy, Pokemon Y.
Re: Pokémon Bank And Poké Transporter Will Hit The North American eShop in December
@AyeHaley
Same here... I like to see news and whatnot, but then sometimes those leaks take away from experiencing it while you are already playing the game.
Anyway, not sure if I'll be using this, I never even seem to fill out the PC Boxes in the game itself!
Re: Monster Hunter 4 Shifts Over 1.7 Million Retail Units In Two Days
Wow, those are some great numbers for the title and 3DS.
I would buy this game on launch day if it's localized for Wii U.
Re: Poll: Would You Buy Grand Theft Auto V On Wii U?
Never in a googolplex.

Re: Nintendo and Capcom to Announce Upcoming Collaboration
This better not be Mega Man statue wearing a Mario hat or something and slap a $99 price tag on it.
Re: Character Outlines Will Be Customisable in 3DS Super Smash Bros.
As soon as I read the caption, the theme song from Pinky and the Brain faded through my mind...
Re: EarthBound Translator Shares Insight Into Preparing a Cult Classic for the West
Everything about Earthbound made me excited when I first played it. The opening title screen, the introduction to pick names, the music, the quirky dialogue, the weird enemies... etc.
And it still does.
Re: Review: EarthBound (Wii U eShop)
I just hope that the sales are good enough that Nintendo takes notice.
Re: Pre-Orders Open for Mega Man Anniversary Statue
Wow... $99.95. No thank you.
I'd rather have it colored.
It may look aweome, but this does not make up for not having a new Mega Man game.
Re: Miyamoto: Fresh Experiences Make A New Game, Not New Characters
I can agree to some point. It's just that they have new "concepts" for almost the same IP's.

Re: Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze Hopping To Wii U This Year
I think the Donkey Kong game some people wanted was a style like the N64 game... I know I did. It's an interesting take for a new game though.
Re: Super Mario 3D World Coming To Wii U This December
This does look really neat. It reminds me of the SMB 2 environment with some SMB 3 elements. Is that a frog suit I see? Not disappointed.
