@ricardo91
i mean the later square-enix because all they make are FFs and DQs and nothing really “new” and “innovative” and thats not really too good in the sense of in a couple years from now we all are gunna get sick of it all, just like we did with game franchises like Dynasty Warriors and 3-D Sonic adventures!

Its pretty much FFs, DQs, and turn based crap for Square Enix

Re: Virtual Console Reviews - Best of 2008

Everybody keeps putting down Super Mario RPG and its sorta annoying
@everyone at VC Reviews thank you for putting such a masterpiece of a game at #1 because it deserves it
@bahumut zero
square enix either makes FFs or turn based crap!

Re: Virtual Console Reviews - Best of 2008

@mickeymac
ya man I like your opinions!
Dragon Quest is okay at some point and now Square Enix is making Dragon Quest X for wii(I found this out on 1up.com) I might give it a chance

@beastman93
Your forgetting Final Fantasy 7

Re: Virtual Console Reviews - Best of 2008

@Kelvin
Yeah there are far better RPGs out there like the Final Fantasys and the Tales series. But it is way better than a lot of RPGs out there also like Dragon Quests, Lost Odyssey, most fire emblems, and Chrono Trigger...well in my opinion.
And if it was not as good as you say it is then how in the world did it spark 1 of Nintendos better series Paper Mario!?

@mickeymac
Because one of the more influential persons happened to be a fan of the series-
What? Does that count for Sonic also?
Yeah...i dont think so. Konami wanted to contribute Snake into the Smash Bros. series(because maybe they`re a fan of the series?).
@kelven
the only reason it would get a “legendary status” is because of all the RPGs that came ahead of its time(or before it) and just werent as good or just sucked!

@bahamut zero
your welcome
I'd rather have Geno on Brawl than Olimar or R.O.B.
Square Enix should've conributed a character(s) in brawl like konami did with snake. Square enix should put Cloud and Geno in brawl but they probably wont knowing square.
(honorable mention Vincent Valentine)

@mickeymac

uh i dont know bout that, actually i think the sonic the hedgehogs beat that by a mile when in comes to uniqueness, charming, solid gameplay, and level design. And same here on there isnt thing really anything bad to say.

Re: WiiWare World - Best of 2008

shadows262

I'd have to say my Top 5 favorite Games of '08 are:
5: Defend Your Castle
4: Toki Tori
3: Lostwinds
2: WoG
1: MM9

Art styles are great in all but not that great.
As for WoG being behind MM9 is because im sorta sick of praising WoG and anyway i had more fun with MM9 and btw i beat it like 5 times!

Re: Virtual Console Reviews - Best of 2008

Top 5 VC games:
5: Mega Man 2
4: Secret of Mana
3: Ys Book 1 and 2
2: Mega Man 3
1: Super Mario RPG

@bahumut zero
love your avatar man! Geno was such a badass in SMRPG lol

DoReMi deserves more attention. It is by far one of the best platformers on VC.

uh how and why? theres so many better platformers on the VC than that!

Re: WiiWare World - Best of 2008

shadows262

Great list guys!
But once you look at the list, more than half of the games are puzzlers which makes people think that the wiiware service doesnt really have much of a variety! sigh

Re: USA VC Update: StarTropics II

shadows262

@chunky droid
yeah i think you might be right on that but only reason we have Donkey Kong Countrys 1,2, and 3 is because Donkey Kong is Nintendos, not Rares but banjoo kazooie is rares and not Nintendos. Microsoft now owns Rare in the sense of they own Banjo Kazooie and last time I checked X-box live arcade has our Banjo K.!

@captain konami
everyone is wishing/hoping that Banjo Kazooie would come to the VC. But its never gunna because once again i'll say it Microsoft owns rare

Re: USA VC Update: StarTropics II

shadows262

News flash everyone Banjo Kazooie and Goldeneye 007 are never gunna come to the VC for only 1 reason-Rare is owned by Microsoft! Banjoo Kazooie is never gunna be on the VC nor Goldeneye 007.
Banjo Kazooie wasnt that great of a game anyway especially when compared to Mario 64 or Zelda Ocarina of Time and Goldeneye 007 didnt deserve its fame it should`ve considering it was 1 of the only FPS on the N64. Not to be harsh

Re: USA VC Update: StarTropics II

@Terranigma
I know right. It must`ve been a week ago I was just talking about the DSi VC but I wasnt talking about Mother 3 I was talking about my need to play Metroid Fusion!
Secret of Evermore prolly won`t come for awhile so dont be counting on it anytime soon. And Square Enix should really put a Final Fantasy on the VC. A couple games I saw that I really appreciated are Earthbound and the Megamans.

Re: EU VC Update: Secret of Mana and Sonic the Hedgehog 2 (Master System)

@Angelblack187
Charged isnt really difficult.
But if i would have to choose between Charged and Wario Land Shake It I`d go with Wario Land!
At first its really easy but once you get farther into it, it has its moments. Especially when you try to get everything in every level.
Animal Crossing City Folk and Call of Duty WaW are still out there along with Sonic Unleashed.

Re: USA VC Update: StarTropics II

@terranigma
ya i think your right but the pokemon games on the VC right now arent so hot but hey its pokemon.
@mickeymac
nice list man!
I do miss Secret of Evermore sigh
@rurounireeter
actually i have all of those lol
but sayin` that is like saying the original Super Mario Bros. sucked (which it doesnt btw) because we have Super Mario Galaxy, Mario 64, Mario Sunshine, and so on and do forth

Re: USA VC Update: StarTropics II

shadows262

@terranigma
heres my top 10 unrealeased list:
1: Super Smash Bros.
2: LoZ Majoras Mask
3: Earthbound
4: Star Fox
5: Super Mario Kart
6: Super Punch Out!!!
7: Kirbys Dream Land 3
8: Super Mario World 2
9: Mega Man X
10: Mega Man 4
I couldn`t decide were to put Pokemon Stadium 2 so i just left it out

Re: USA VC Update: StarTropics II

shadows262

@rurounireeter
gasp
how...how can you say that?
this a joke right?
sorry to burst your bubble but those 2 games are some of the best on the SNES and yet they turned into AAA titles for Nintendo!

EDIT: @mickeymac
super mario kart did have weak stages in all(when you compare `em to the later installment`s) but they were pretty darn fun. Controls were fine but the drifting wasn`t so helpful unlike as it is in MK wii or DD.
But truly i really wanna know everyones favorite Mario Kart.

Re: USA VC Update: StarTropics II

shadows262

We need more Super Nintendo and N64 games on the VC. I`d love to be able to download Earthbound, Super Mario Kart, Majoras Mask, Megaman X, original star fox, etc.
@wolflink22
1 VC game is really getting to me too.
especially when its something I've never heard of, hate, or have no interest in
@terranigma
I know I would lol

Stuffgamer said: give it time, practice, and keep trying.

Its not with just that game-actually its with a lot of games such as the Mega mans, Star Foxs, and sometimes Zeldas or Metroids.

Re: Nintendo To Launch Wii Video Service Next Year

shadows262

@objection_blaster

looking at the wiis success you wouldnt think they would...but on the other hand on the hardware side(no HD graphics and cruddy hard drive) you`d think they would. The whole “5 year cycle” you were talking about isn`t true because the Wii hasnt been in development for no 5 years and I dont think Nintendo would jump right to their next console like that.
This Wii TV channel is not even funny. They`re better off with out it.

Re: Nintendo To Launch Wii Video Service Next Year

shadows262

@wario4mom
Okay you do sorry.
They`re not gunna release it until Wii 2 for two reasons
1: its coming out in Japan early `09 and that means it`ll be here in mid `09
2: there is no Wii 2 plain and simple.(dont anyone give me links to websites sayin` “Wii 2 is coming in 2011!”. Its fake and Nintendo didn`t announce it anyway!)

@draygone
you still forgetting the storage problem

@alexsays & Virus
de blob aint half bad(I rented it btw). its really funny at times and the graphics are goofy and clourful-in a good way ofcourse!

@world 1-1
I have to strongly disagree with you

Re: Metacritic's Best Wii Games of 2008

shadows262

@VALERHU
I didnt really appreciate alexsays saying that about brawl. Alex cant back up what he claims and it sorta makes me laugh

@alexsays
gabbo didnt go to great lengths for anything. He only told me 2 wii games that have the same graphics as the GCN versions.

Re: Metacritic's Best Wii Games of 2008

shadows262

@alexsays
“Replay Value” is otherwise known as going back and playing the game more and more. And the reason he said its a really long game is because all the things you have/can do to beat the game. I`ve played brawl for over 200 hours and still have not beaten it...yet!

Football is very repetitive and its not really fun. You run, kick, throw, catch, and score. And its always the same thing repeating. Oh im sorry someone might break a bone once in awhile...my bad.

No your not a “blind, ignorant follower of logic”. Your just blind and ignorant!

Re: Review: Fun! Fun! Minigolf (WiiWare)

shadows262

@gaboo
yeah i know. I really wish the wii had a hard drive. And have you seen some of wiis upcoming games lately. they have some really good graphics indeed.
Monster Hunter 3 and The Conduit are 2 examples.

Re: Metacritic's Best Wii Games of 2008

shadows262

@alexsays
your pretty stupid!
Comparing the replay value of WoG to brawl is horrible. I beat WoG in 5 hours and it got BORING! but still a great game btw.

Only reason he said that he played it over 150 hours is because of all the content that is enabled to be unlocked. Vault, Home Run Contest, Boss Battles, Classic, etc.

Only reason you played WoG more than Twilight Princess is because you hate it! Its a master piece of a game and I cant believe you dislike it...shame on you.

You say subspace emissary is repetitive and boring haha lol
and football is just so much fun and theres no repetiveness at all there and yet you have the guts to say you played over 300 hours of it.
You probably played 20 hours of brawl and decided to judge it. If football to you ain`t repetitive and the adventure mode in brawl is, theres something wrong with you! And you also need to go see a doctor.

Oh haha and btw your the “blind, ignorant follower”!!!

Re: Review: Fun! Fun! Minigolf (WiiWare)

@gabbo
whatever man if you can only name 2 specific games that have the same graphics then fine by me but since you cant name any other games...its okay.
Im not tryin` to be an ass or anything. oh ya and i'm just throwing out the fact that the wii is 50% more powerful than the GCN graphics wise.
