I may not post a whole lot, but I pretty much checked this site a few times everyday since I joined in 2009. Keep up the great work, everyone. Here's to a stellar 2013, and hopefully an better 2014!
It didn't really affect me all that much, but I do feel bad for all those who got a new 3DS or Wii U bundle and were unable to download their games. Good to see its all starting to clear up, though!
Honestly, I think it's fantastic how faithful this port is to the original Genesis version. Not changing a thing is a good thing since original Sonic ports range from amazing (Taxman's iOS port) to horrendous (Sonic Genesis on GBA).
I knew I wasn't just seeing things. I just completed the second case, and I noticed there were many lines with strange grammar, uses of a word that didn't belong, and instances where words seemed to be switched around. It can be a little dissappointing seeing these errors, but at this point, I'm still just happy that the game was even localized. Nevertheless, I am really enjoying the game, and who knows, maybe we can get a patch to fix these errors....
The big games I'll be playing this weekend will be Animal Crossing New Leaf, The Last of Us, and New Super Luigi U. I'll also try to squeeze in time for Tails Adventures and maybe a little Mega Man.
@JogurttheYogurt - He explains in the interview why it wasn't ported to the eShop. Also, I believe the WiiWare version is $5 less than on other consoles.
Great interview. I beat the story mode in RCR last night, and I gotta say, it was crazy! I think I'm in love with this game, it's so fun to play, and it's made me laugh more than any game has yet this year. And again, I'm very thankful that the developer stuck with WiiWare and got the game released!
I'm still not sure what to think about the PS4, but I know I'll still stick close to my Wii U since I really enjoy Nintendo exclusives. Seeing Watch_Dogs coming to Wii U is a great thing since I believe the Wii U still needs some major third-party support. I hope this game turns out well and makes good use of the GamePad.
Mostly New Super Mario Bros. U. And if my 3DS is really lucky, maybe some Crashmo or Paper Mario Sticker Star, and maybe Donkey Kong: Original Edition if Nintendo sends me the code this weekend...
The Brain Age game were good fun in a way that made you feel smarter, so a buy for me! As for retail or download, I downloaded NSMB2 and supported the new retail downloads, while finding the convenience being a plus. Brain Age seems like a perfect downloadable game, so I may go digital. That is of course, if I happen to beef up my SD Card first...

The Treecko one! ❤️
Re: Weirdness: Luigi's Mario Kart 8 'Death Stare' Is Deemed Noteworthy By Fox News
This "news" seriously made my day!
Re: Video: More Interesting Game Boy Facts To Wrap Your Head Around
Did not know about the Glucose Boy. To be honest, as a diabetic, that sounded awesome.
Re: Video: Feast Your Eyes On Episode One Of Days Of Our Tomodachi Lives
Omg, Dragon made it into the first episode! Show of the year!
Also, a Hyrule Warriors joke seems perfect for that picture, but I can't think of any.
Re: Play: Mario Golf: World Tour in the NLife Masters
I'm really not that good (still trying to get the hang of things), but I'll totally play when I get home.
Re: Review: Kirby: Triple Deluxe (3DS)
Very excited for this game. Im always in the mood for a solid platformer. I never played Return to Dreamland, so it should feel new enough to me.
Re: Nintendo Download: 3rd April (North America)
M&L and Rusty for me. Tempted to play Metroid Fusion on the big screen, but I might just stick with the Ambassador version.
Re: Feature: Looking at the 3DS Revolution on its Third Birthday
Had a 3DS since day 1, and while it had a rough launch, it ultimately became one of my favorite video game systems.
Re: Ninterview: Smooth McGroove On A Life In Game Music
This guy is just awesome. It's hard to pick a favorite video of his.
Re: TwitchPlaysPokémon Takes Internet By Storm
@Nibelilt Ok, that's probably the funniest picture I've seen about this stream.
Every now and then, I load it up to see where they are. Although it seems they have been at Celedon City for the past day or so. :/
Re: Feature: Video Game Characters Looking for Love - 2014
After reading Rayman's entry, I can't read your articles without trying to find an Always Sunny reference.
Re: Nintendo Download: 6th February (North America)
RCR: DX for sure!
Re: Retro City Rampage: DX Hits The 3DS eShop This Week in North America, 20th February in Europe
Definally downloading this tomrrow! Loved RCR on Wiiware, and this looks like the perfect reason to revisit Theftopolis.
Hopefully, this version proves very successful for Mr. Provinciano.
Re: Extended Maintenance On The Way For Pokémon X & Y Servers
I'll keep my fingers crossed for at least a Bank/Transporter release date, but I'm not really getting my hopes too high.
I just want all my 'mon on my Y. ;_;
Re: Video: This Awesome Gerudo Valley Violin Cover Brings the Heat
I thought it was a fantastic cover. Gerudo Valley is definally my favorite piece from OoT.

Re: Game of the Year: Nintendo Life Readers' Awards 2013
The lack of Animal Crossing makes me a little sad. :,(
But a fine list, nonetheless.
Re: Nintendo Network Services Now Starting to "Operate Normally"
It didn't really affect me all that much, but I do feel bad for all those who got a new 3DS or Wii U bundle and were unable to download their games. Good to see its all starting to clear up, though!
Re: Nintendo Download: 26th December (North America)
Was expecting Mario 3 and ALTTP, but Mario Tennis GBC is nice!
Re: Review: 3D Sonic The Hedgehog (3DS eShop)
Honestly, I think it's fantastic how faithful this port is to the original Genesis version. Not changing a thing is a good thing since original Sonic ports range from amazing (Taxman's iOS port) to horrendous (Sonic Genesis on GBA).
Re: Nintendo Download: 5th December (North America)
Sonic and maybe Altered Beast for me! ^_^
Re: Nintendo Download: 14th November (North America)
Never played River City Ransom, maybe I'll download that.

The big games I'll be playing this weekend will be Animal Crossing New Leaf, The Last of Us, and New Super Luigi U. I'll also try to squeeze in time for Tails Adventures and maybe a little Mega Man.
Re: Feature: Ten Smartphone and Tablet Games We'd Like to See on Wii U
Punch Quest, Jetpack Joyride, and Sword and Sworcery EP are quite fantastic.
I think a version of Fruit Ninja that uses the game pad or the Wiimote would be cool.
Re: Review: Toki Tori 2 (Wii U eShop)
Enjoyed the original, even if it was frustrating at times, definally excited for the sequel.
Re: N++ Announced At GDC
Beat N+ on DS numerous times, will definally look into this.

Yes! Finally the wait is almost over!
Re: Watch Dogs Confirmed For Release On Wii U
I'm still not sure what to think about the PS4, but I know I'll still stick close to my Wii U since I really enjoy Nintendo exclusives. Seeing Watch_Dogs coming to Wii U is a great thing since I believe the Wii U still needs some major third-party support. I hope this game turns out well and makes good use of the GamePad.
Re: Talking Point: What Games Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue Nine
Mostly Fire Emblem Akakening and Mega Man 2 this weekend for me.

Re: Review: NightSky (3DS eShop)
How much space does it take up?
I was always planning on buying it, but I am running low on space at the moment... :I
Re: Review: Rising Board 3D (3DS eShop)
I downloaded it because I love the Pop Island games, so far it's pretty good, it looks and sounds gorgeous. Although it's way to easy to die...
Re: Forza Motorsport Was Originally Inspired By Pokémon
Didn't see that coming.
Re: Brain Age: Concentration Training Puts North America to the Test on 3rd December
The Brain Age game were good fun in a way that made you feel smarter, so a buy for me!

Re: Nintendo Download: 16th August 2012 (North America)
NSMB2 of course, I've loaded up my eShop wallet and everything!
Re: Whoever said Penélope Cruz, You Were Right!
I like their accents.
Anyway, was planning on buying this no matter what, but the ad doesn't hurt.
Re: Planning To Download New Super Mario Bros. 2? You'll Need About 45 Minutes
Still faster than me driving 45 minutes to my nearest GameStop, buying the game, then driving back.
