Re: Club Nintendo Goes Rewards Crazy With Final Update in North America

thaantman

So mad I got super metriod a couple of days ago for 250 coins and I was going to buy it for wiiU for $1.50 with the snes discount they give you for already owning it on the wii. But they have super metriod for 200 coins in the wiiu section. And if I knew wonderful 101 would be an option I would had just saved my 600 coins for that smh I should had been patient.

Re: Video: 90's Arcade Racer Is Still Alive, And Here's Some Footage To Prove It

thaantman

We need more quality racing games on wiiU. Of course we have the superb mario kart 8, we also have need for speed most wanted & sonic and sega allstar racing but that's it besides a few eshop racers that are mediocre @ best. This looks to play similar to need for speed nitro which was my favorite racer on wii. This & fast racing neo are both on my radar.

Re: Feature: 20 Wii Games We'd Love To Download From The Wii U eShop - Part One

I loved metroid other m and feel like that game would look awesome on the gamepad. I never played epic yarn, okami, or little kings story but I've wanted to so I would like to see those games. I hope we sonic colors, de blob, geometry wars galaxies, tatsunoko vs capcom and I really enjoyed some of EA wii games like need for speed nitro, nba jam, ssx blur & boom blox but not sure if will see them on wiiu considering the current relationship with them.

Maybe punchout. Midnight looks like a mix of nightsky & ping 1.5+ probably wait on a review for that 1 will also keep my eye on breezeblox if its as amazing as edge. And nintendolife didn't mention it but the throwback sale is continuing this week with different discounts so waiting to see what's goes onsale

Re: Wii U Enjoyed Its Best Ever Month of US Sales in December, With Yearly Results Beating 2013

thaantman

@umegames and those are just the games we know about. I'm sure will get some more surprise directs & reveals @ E3. But I love my wiiU and I havent even scratched the surface yet. My only retail games are smash wiiu & windwaker. I've been living in the eshop supporting these awesome indie developers that has stepped up with the lack of major 3rd party games. In the past 2months I brought shovel knight, steam world dig, stick it to the man, toki tori, edge, rush, nano assault, art of balance, x type+, abyss, armillo, paper monsters recut, puddle, kung fu rabbit, duck tales remastered, 99 moves, ping 1.5+, and just got teslagrad & chasing Aurora apart of the indie promotion. And theres still a bunch more I have in my wish list. And that list don't even include retail titles like Mario kart 8, wonderful 101, hyrule warriors, super Mario 3ds world etc. I'm exhausted, wiiU have really revitalize my love for gaming.

Re: Video: Does Super Mario Galaxy 2 On Wii U Offer Anything New?

thaantman

I definitely think nintendo should do an update for gamepad controls if the game wasn't heavy on motion controls. The 1st two prime games were on gamecube so they could revert back to dual analog for the trilogy. Also in mario galaxy you only waggled the controller to do the spin move that could be assigned to a button or even just shaking the gamepad itself it does have motion control on the pad.

Re: Nintendo Download: 15th January (Europe)

thaantman

I hope teslagrad is on sale in the north America update wanted that game since day 1. May get chasing Aurora & I already have runner 2 on my ps3 but for that price I may double dip to be able to play that on my gamepad with some headphones

Re: Update For Arrow Time U Improves Overall Game Experience

thaantman

@xenohorizon I really appreciate your honesty and hope you guys can learn from your mistakes and ultimately make better games for us so its more profit for you. And I do almost always trust nintendo life's reviews I've been using this site since it was Wiiware world to keep an eye on the nintendo indie scene. I've really been supporting the eshop big time because there are quite a few gems and some at awesome budget prices. I'll keep my eye on any future games from xenohorizon and hope you guys become the type of develops that can make gems standout in a trash heap.

Re: Feature: The Biggest Wii U Games of 2015

thaantman

Great list of games and definitely will keep a look out on them. I just got my Wii u around September last year and smash bros & wind waker are the only retail games I've purchased. I've really been invested on the indie scene on Wii u especially with the awesome eshop sales that we just had. Armillo, steamworld dig, shovel knight, duck tales, paper monsters recut, toki tori, edge, rush, x type +, ping 1.5+, nano assault, art of balance, and stick it to the man so imma be pretty busy for awhile. Probably hit up the back catalog of a few Wii u games as they drop in price, keep my eye on some new Indies and maybe just make a 1 or 2 big purchases this year, I'm thinking splatoon and maybe Mario maker. Hope we get metroid this year on either Wii u or 3ds

Re: Nintendo Download: 1st January (North America)

thaantman

Nintendo need to get crossplay for games like shovel knight I really could decide between the 3ds version or Wii U. I ultimately decided on Wii U. Used my $5 from the ddp so ultimately only paid $5 & some change for shovel knight.

Re: Nintendo Download: 25th December (North America)

thaantman

Grab some great deals the past 2weeks. Ping 1.5+, nano assault, steamworld dig, rush, toki tori & stick it to the man. Have a lot of indie titles to hold me over for a bit. Still considering art of balance I wish the sale was a little cheaper. And not quite sure what I'm going to get with my $5 promotion points maybe cosmophony or on the 3sd there's liberation maiden, chain blaster or attack of the Friday monsters. So much to choose from.

Re: Crunchyroll Arrives on Wii U as a Free App in North America

thaantman

This was an unexpected surprise to say the least. I use crunchy roll on my ps3, but my 32in flat screen that I have had for a good while now went out so I don't play any of my games or watch anything in my room to often because my temporary replacement tv is embarrassingly small and it would be near impossible to read the English subtitles. So being able to watch some anime on the gamepad for the time being is awesome.

Re: Nintendo Download: 18th December (North America)

thaantman

Think I'll grab megaman 7, steamworld dig (just not sure if I should grab it for wii u or 3ds) ping 1.5 plus is a game ive had my eye on and for $2 the price is right. And I would grab both art of balance & nano assault if these were a little cheaper I'll get 1 or the other.

Re: Little Mac Is Officially The Least Successful Fighter in Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS

thaantman

I don't find little mac to be difficult to beat maybe its just me. I have a friend that main him and played plenty of online and I win 90% of the time with almost any character I use. His attacks are fast & powerful but still avoidable. His air game is what kills him, its easy to get little mac off the stage around 60 to 70 percent so if you can just endure his onslaught he shouldn't be a problem. I actually find rosalina mains to be more of an issue.

Re: Nintendo Highlights Huge Indie Line-up for Winter and Beyond

thaantman

While I do wish nintendo would get more major 3rd party support i kinda don't mind too much having 1st party nintendo games and a slew of top notch indie games I'm completely satified there so many indie games already out I still been meaning to grab. Grabbing a handfull of great indie games for $60 just sounds more attractive then buying some of these 3rd title that probably watered down compared to other consoles and expect to pay the same price.

Re: Polychromatic Extravaganza de Blob Will Be Making A Comeback Soon

thaantman

Loved both de blobs for different reasons I think I like the 1st one a little more for its laid back feel to it. Didn't finish the 2nd 1 but I loved the hilarious cut scenes and the story was much deeper. Looking forward to a sequel or wouldn't even mind a remake with hd up grade and sum gamepad support.

Re: Review: Cosmophony (Wii U eShop)

thaantman

This in someways reminds me of the first bit trip games on wiiware. Besides runner most of the bit trip games only had 3 stages and they were punishing experiences to say the least but enjoyable as well especially if you were able to actually beat a stage you certainly felt a strong sense of accomplishment. That's what I'm expecting from this game so imma give a go even if its a chance I'll never beat it for only $4 I've certainly have put out more for games that I still remain stuck on.

Re: Review: Arrow Time U (Wii U eShop)

thaantman

Nintendo should really put a section on the eshop for all the critically acclaimed indirect games. Because there's are actually a few good quality budget games and they deserve their spot like instead of being loss in the shuffle with crap like this.

Re: Proun+ is Coming Soon to a 3DS Near You

thaantman

I'll definitely keep this on my radar. I didn't care for the 1st person view in speed so that alone makes this game somewhat interesting to me. The music sorta reminds me of de blob and I like the art style too. If this release @ a budget price like speed then I'm all over this.

Re: Review: Ninja Battle Heroes (3DS eShop)

thaantman

And my eshop want list grows more. With this being on the cheap side may get this sooner than later. But man still need azure strikers gunvolt while mighty gunvolt is still a free add on, and on the wiiU eshop teslagrad, paper monsters, art of balance, stealth inc 2, still waiting for reviews for ballpoint universe and ping 1.5+

Re: Pokémon X & Y Won't Be Patched to Accommodate New Mega Evolutions

thaantman

I wouldn't say it would make X & Y obsolete. For 1 we have to trade diancie over from X & Y if we want mega diancie so trading still seem to be possible. You'll prolly just won't be able to trade a pokemon from ORAS if its holding an unfamiliar mega stone. But we don't know all the pokemon that's available to be caught so we can trade pokemon from X & Y to ORAS such as gen 6 pokemon.

Re: Guide: How to Catch a Pokémon Omega Ruby & Alpha Sapphire Demo Code

thaantman

Already have a trainer club account, have no idea when or why I created it perhaps it had something to do with me having pokemon X. Not sure if I'm opted in for emails or not and I can't get into my account despite reseting my password and asking for my user name. So really hoping I'm already opted in for emails.

Re: Mega Man Felyne Armour Makes Monster Hunter 4 Ultimate Even Stranger

thaantman

I don't see an issue with free extra content. Either download it or don't. I actually never got in to the monster hunter franchise so see samus & mega man has caught my attention. Giving me characters I'm familiar with in a unfamiliar franchise would definitely be a good starting point in drawing my interest and perhaps make me want to buy past & future games.

Re: Not All Super Smash Bros. Characters Will Make The Leap To Wii U And 3DS

thaantman

I fully expect the original 12 to be on the game (no matter how much I dislike jigglypuff) I also expect characters to be swapped out, like how young link went to toon link &roy to marth. I think pokemon trainer
should return with different starter pokemon should also add a female pokemon trainer too. I think clone characters should either be download content, or pick them the same way you pick zero suit samus, hold a button before the game start and it changes to that character. Or make a clone a costume change and the moveset is just altered

Re: Sonic 4: Episode II Teaser Trailer Due Tomorrow

thaantman

Cant wait 4 this to come out, the first episode was great. I'm almost certain this will b out for wiiware, this is all suppose 2b 1 game, so it would make more sense to release all the episodes on the same platform. I guess I need 2 hurry and finish sonic colors then play episode 1 over again before this comes out.

Re: Ubisoft: "Nobody Proved Wii Does FPS Controls Better"

thaantman

I was never a big FPS fan, but when I first played metriod prime 3 (i consider it a fps i'm in 1st person and i'm shooting @ stuff) i fell in love with the control scheme, it felt so fluid. And from there I started to get into the genre a bit with games like the conduit, red steel 2, and golden eye And i would have friends that so stuck on xbox when they try to play with the motion controls, they act like their to lazy to hold the remote right and complain all the time, if they owned the wii and actually took time to get use to the controls, rather then try to just jump in thinking the controls are gonna b instantly perfect, the realize that motion kills duel analog.

Re: Feature: BIT.TRIP SAGA vs. BIT.TRIP COMPLETE

thaantman

I only have a wii so complete sounds like the complete package to me. online leaderboards for all your hardwork, easy difficultly if u can't hack it, hard difficulty if your just crazy, and a set of bonus challenges to keep you busy. But still having these games in 3D would be cool and be more accessible, I remember showing a friend bit trip runner, once I gave him the controller he didn't want to put it down, so it be nice to show this game off to more ppl in a portable fashion, I also would love to plug in some headphones to the bit trip tracks, that's pure awesomeness in my ear.

Re: Sonic 4: Episode II Not Due Until 2012

thaantman

It wouldn't make sense for this to be released on the wiiU simply because this is meant to be 1 game, to break the game across multiple platforms would be a bad move. I feel as though wii only owners deserve to get this 1st, mainly because were not getting generations, even though they could had easily made that for wii with sonic colors engine. how many episodes do they plan on making it's gonna be a year and a half between the 1st and second how long to they plan on making us wait for a third i'm sure ppl are beginning to lose interest.

Re: Nintendo DS Sales Figures Make Wii's Look Tiny

thaantman

well since i like to trade games in @ gamestop I haven't been able to have a large collection of games @ 1 time. I currently have around 16-17 retail games. and over 30 wiiware/virtual console. But if I never traded in any games I would have close to 80games including downloads. I don't have any ds games now or a working ds for that matter but if I had to guess I probably had somewhere between 20-30 games never had a dsi so no dsiware, but i do plan on getting a 3ds when the price drop

Re: Super Mario Converse High-Tops Let You Jump Real High

thaantman

I like the red & black & the light blue ones with world 1-1, don't really care for the other ones with all the marios on them. just looked on ebay and these bad boys are going over $300, only time I'll ever consider paying that much for mario is if it comes with a game system.
