@19Robb92 Why is everyone so convinced we will get a Z? Everyone assumed we would get a Gray after B-W, and they completely changed it up by making direct sequels instead of a third companion game.
I thought this was a waste of a week, but didn't see Rune Factory 4 at first. Not going to do EO Untold, since I still have EO 3 and 4 to play without going back to re-play the original. RF4 is a definite tho!
So both sequels have now been released across multiple consoles, yet the original still remains unrelased?!?!?!? PLEASE NINTENDO AND KONAMI, release the original Contra on VC!!!!! I will not download the other games in the series until I have that game.
I have the DK: Original Edition from the free Club Nintendo giveaway. Is it worth getting this DK if I have that one? My impression is "no", but if any of you have any insight, I'd appreciate.
@unrandomsam That would make sense if they didn't release ANY of the Contra games, but they released Super C and Contra 3: The Alien Wars, and Contra 4 on Nintendo DS, not to mention the WiiWare Contra Rebirth. So why not the original? Konami gave the ok on all the others, where the hell is the original Contra on VC??
I just want the original Contra, with all its 8-bit glory and the Konami code fully intact. I cannot believe this game has not been VC'd, while it's sequels have. I refuse to buy them and support them without the chance to play this game again.
@Erica_Hartmann We all expected to get Pokemon Gray and they didn't give us that, instead we got sequels which we all lapped up because they were new and familiar at the same time.
Not sure what I'll do here. Played through the first one already, and it is such a long game, and still need to play 3&4. But the series is awesome, and I would recommend to anyone into very hardcore RPGs who hasn't played the first one.
Disappointed Shantae got moved back, but this is a killer week to make up for that! Picking up Mega Man 6, Bugs vs Tank, and possibly Defenders of Oasis.
I wonder (hope) if you can transfer your captures from the first game. It's been a long arduous and slightly embarrassing process to find the ones I already have, it would be a shame if I could not utilize that collection.
I don't have a Wii U yet, but I have a TON of content for 3DS, and I would say outside of 1st party titles, the best content on that machine are eShop titles by small developers. I'm very excited to get my Wii U to get even more of these inexpensive gems!
I've set a 5,000 block limit on myself for any games that can be purchased in physical form. If downloads were slightly cheaper I would reconsider that stance, but there are too many good download-only games to waste too much space on games available physically.
I'd love to see Mega Man played with restore points. I've always found them a little too difficult for my taste, but this could be a refreshing way to experience these games finally.
I think I am going to get the Wii version and not wait until I obtain a Wii U. I feel like from what I have read, the Wii U version is a rushed port of the Wii game done by an outside company, so while the graphics may be better, I feel like gameplay elements will suffer.
Fire Emblem has taken the place of my previous SRPG fave series, Shining Force (which we need more of BTW). @Void, Ike rules, I cheered when he and the Greil Mercenaries showed up in Radiant Dawn (even though I knew it was happening b/c I imported my data from PoR).
I was always surprised that B&W was not a launch title for the 3DS. They would have had a killer app out of the gate, and would have moved many more units if Pokemon were leading the charge.
@whitetrashguy If you want to play SKYRIM, go play SKYRIM. Let Zelda be Zelda.
This is a fun, addiciting game, and deserves the 8 it received, but it is Zelda by name only and not even close to Zelda classics like A Link to the Past, Ocarina of Time, Majora's Mask, Wind Waker, Twilight Princess, and Skyward Sword.

Well, we have gotten 5 of them, and we are also getting the Professor Layton X Ace Attorney game, which will be friggin' SWEET!

Re: Classic Retro Titles Coming To North American eShop Later This Year
@UgliestSoup Wario Land 4 was part of the ambassador release.
Re: Classic Retro Titles Coming To North American eShop Later This Year
What's the difference between this NES Donkey Kong and the one Club Nintendo was giving out as a promotion a while back?
Re: Nintendo Download: 8th August (North America)
@ThomasBW84 Thank you, that is download size for me!
Re: Nintendo Download: 8th August (North America)
I'm speaking strictly from a 3DS perspective, no Wii U yet, but when that happy day comes, DuckTales is a no brainer.
Re: Nintendo Download: 8th August (North America)
Meh, not the best week. At least Dream Team will be available for Sunday. Was leaning to the digital copy, does anyone know the block size?
Re: Wonderful 101 Team Is Platinum's Biggest Ever, Game Has More Content Than Bayonetta
When I get my Wii U, this will be my first purchase.

Re: Ocarina of Time Speedrunner Explains How To Beat the Game in 22 minutes
I think it took me longer than 22 minutes to defeat Ganondorf/Ganon when I beat the game in 1999.

Re: Talking Point: What Games Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue Fifteen
Project X Zone, have had trouble putting this one down.
Re: Review: Project X Zone (3DS)
I downloaded the demo last night, and purchased instantly. FUN GAME!
Re: Nintendo Download: 20th June (North America)
@TruthBeTold Yes, all 6 NES Mega Man games are now available on 3DS.
Re: Nintendo Download: 20th June (North America)
Disappointed Shantae got moved back, but this is a killer week to make up for that! Picking up Mega Man 6, Bugs vs Tank, and possibly Defenders of Oasis.
Re: Nintendo Download: 6th June (North America)
Slim? How about no 3DS pickings this week unless you are an Animal Crossing fan.
Re: Mega Man 6
Will be out in June sometime, they were releasing them one/month from January - May.
Re: Nintendo Download: 23rd May (North America)
If it's Kirby week, why are they holding out Dream Land 2 on 3DS???
Re: The Denpa Men 2: Beyond The Waves Penciled In For A May Release In North America

Re: Slick Entertainment Keen To Work On Nintendo Platforms

Re: Check Out This Comparison Between The New 3DS Zelda And Link To The Past
Yes, yes, a thousand times yes! LIke Reggie, ALTTP is my favorite game of all time.
Re: Remake Request: Langrisser
@CanisWolfred Wasn't localized, i never got the chance to play it.
Re: Remake Request: Langrisser
I wasn't asking so much for a remake, just would love them to start developing Shining Force again.
Re: Remake Request: Langrisser
Nice piece, but can we add Shining Force to this mix?
Re: Fire Emblem: Awakening Download Takes Up Almost 8,600 Blocks
I've set a 5,000 block limit on myself for any games that can be purchased in physical form. If downloads were slightly cheaper I would reconsider that stance, but there are too many good download-only games to waste too much space on games available physically.
Re: BIT.TRIP SAGA On The Way To 3DS eShop
So glad I spent $30 on the cartridge
Re: Rumour: SEGA Looking To Bring Classic Titles To 3DS eShop
I will take any and all Shining Force games that they are willing to send my way!!
Re: Ubisoft Plan To Sell Wii U Retail Games Via The eShop
You can use external USB hard drives, the storage solution we all wanted for Wii.

Needless to say, this is a pre-order for me.
Re: Rumour: Super C Coming to 3DS Virtual Console in The West
Agree whole heartedly that original Contra needs to be made available.
Re: Ever Wonder Why Pokémon Black And White 2 Isn't On The 3DS?
