Link's movements were a bit stiff, but that was otherwise wonderful. I'm looking forward to stage 2, whenever that will be. Your image led me to believe that Professor Layton would be in this.
Why does everyone focus on the challenge? Sure, the hardest levels look the most interesting, but even the modest difficulties have their place. @Einherjar The developers have guaranteed that every stage in the game is beatable.
@Funny_Moblin DaveC's post wasn't addressing the 3DS. You can keep digital games on your 3DS forever once you've downloaded them because they don't require an online connection to play.
@aaronsullivan Donkey Kong 64 contains the game Jetpac which may be Rare owned. People suspect that this is why there's no port or VC version. Come on, Nintendo! I just want to play it and see what all the fuss is or isn't about!
I think it's common sense for internet to be required for online features and not required for offline features.
Regarding used games, I think I'll paraphrase the comment I left on purexbox. If disks can't be traded and aren't required for any game, why even make disks? Might as well make everything download only.
@theblackdragon You would have 100 likes by now if this site had a like button.
I like this review very much. Even though there are better Kirby games, this one can still be enjoyable and got the relatively high score it deserves, unlike some others in the series. I also agree that this game is better than Dream Land 2, which bizarrely scored an 8 on this site.
@The-Chosen-one Get the DS version of Super Star if you can.
I haven't played Super Metroid, but there has to be SOME part that's easy for new players to get suck on. People probably reacted the same way when the game was first released.
But the curtain doesn't completely cover her bikini, so I know she's not naked from the waste down. Maybe the censor isn't as successful as I previously made it out to be, but I certainly would not say the American version is more risqué. Obviously, there was no need to change it at all.
I would never have expected them to turn the bug into a real feature, but why even remove it? As theblackdragon said, "other glitches and bugs take months for them to even look at or acknowledge as honest problems." I'm not inclined to believe that this glitch is game breaking, as nobody has explained how it breaks the game.
@Five-seveN That reminds me of the matches I had with my own brother. I pissed so many people off with jigglypuff that it was practically banned at my house.
The reason the virtual console is a great idea is the same reason it's not working out. The virtual console can let people play games available almost nowhere else, such as Earthbound, Super Mario RPG, Majora's Mask, and Pokemon Snap. But instead of this, Nintendo prefers to release the same few games so many times that anybody who wants them probably already has them. @Tertris I was thinking the same thing. @DerpSandwich I have the same views towards retro titles.
A lack of the Zelda Oracles GBA content would be a slight disappointment, but in the case of Shantae, the feature sound like an important part of the game. I will not be happy to have to play an incomplete version.

Re: Mutant Mudds Deluxe Will Cost Less Than Ten Bucks
I never played the original, but I know the game was $8.99. I think "deluxe" is worth a dollar.
Re: Kickstarter Campaign Opens For A Hat In Time
They've hit their goal.
Re: Review: Gummy Bears Mini Golf (3DS eShop)
The courses in the screenshots look as interesting as all the real life courses I've seen.
Re: New Super Mario Bros. U Update Arriving with Luigi's DLC
I don't yet have a WiiU or NSMBU. If they release a bundle with both the original and Luigi game, I will buy that. Otherwise, I'll download the DLC.
Re: Natsume's Hometown Story Will Be Playable at E3
Sounds cool.
Re: Talking Point: Wii U vs Xbox One - Online Requirements and On-Disc DRM
I don't know what happens if your 3DS breaks. And yeah, I don't like digital buying either. It just has nothing to do with servers going offline.

Re: Oh Snap, Now Rayman Legends Is Coming To PS Vita With Exclusive Content
Doesn't the WiiU version still have exclusive content? That would mean there is no definitive version of the game.
Re: Etrian Odyssey IV Reduced To 30 Bucks On The North American 3DS eShop
Absolutely. But they're going to eventually stop including the CD and book with copies if they haven't already.
Re: Rex Rocket Smashes Through Its Kickstarter Target
That's good. Even though I don't care about Rex Rocket, it means he can start planning for that other interesting game he wants to make.

Re: Etrian Odyssey IV Reduced To 30 Bucks On The North American 3DS eShop
Etrian Odyssey IV doesn't come with a manual.
Re: Etrian Odyssey IV Reduced To 30 Bucks On The North American 3DS eShop
I already have it, but this is a great opportunity for people on the fence. Digital prices are quite iffy however. I can see them charging $30 to keep it close to the physical price, but it should cost no more than 20 euros in a region whose stores don't sell the game.
I'm sad to say that I was unable to type the euro symbol for use in my previous paragraph. I could only figure out ™£¢∞≠®¥©÷, and half the Greek alphabet.
Re: eBay Germany Takes a Swipe At Xbox One, Suggests Wii U As Viable Substitute
And this is why you don't predict the best console of the generation before it's even announced.
Re: Donkey Kong 64 Required Expansion Pak to Prevent Game-Breaking Bug
But the game does need the expansion pack if it keeps crashing without it.

These 2 look quite horrifying.

Re: Weirdness: Pokémon Fusion Fan-Site Remixes Your Favourite 'Mon
I discovered this less than a week ago, and I think it's really cool. I'm sad that he'll never get through all 649 at the rate he's going.
Also, some people's links here lead me to gloouasaur instead of whatever they're trying to link to.
Re: Children Of The Sun, Take Note: The Mysterious Cities of Gold Is Coming To Wii U And 3DS
I've never heard of this, but it looks interesting enough.
Re: Rewind, EA Is In Fact Developing Games For The Wii U
I know some are sick of the "unprecedented support" joke, but... I really don't know of any precedent to this.
Re: Senior EA Employee Caught Out Criticising Wii U On Twitter
I don't even know what Durango is.
Re: Zelda Oracle Titles To Have an Initial Discount on the 3DS Virtual Console in North America
Sure! I don't know why I ever got rid of my original copies.
Re: Miiverse: Super Metroid - Too Taxing For Today's Gamers?
I haven't played Super Metroid, but there has to be SOME part that's easy for new players to get suck on. People probably reacted the same way when the game was first released.
Re: EA Currently Has No Games In Development For The Wii U
What an unprecedented partnership!
Re: Europe Gets An Unobstructed Flash Of Tharja's Bottom In Fire Emblem: Awakening DLC

Re: Nintendo Download: 16th May (North America)
Aww, I won't be getting a WiiU before these discounts expire.
Re: Europe Gets An Unobstructed Flash Of Tharja's Bottom In Fire Emblem: Awakening DLC
I actually think the American version did a good job of covering Tharja, though I agree it was unnecessary to begin with.
Re: Sega Files Trademark For Sonic Lost World
It means that Sega's lost their grasp on Sonic's world.

Re: CIRCLE Entertainment Will Make A Publisher Dream Sequel Should It Be Successful
I would be interested in a sequel if it improves upon the things Thomas didn't like.
Re: First Generation Pokémon Visualised By 151 Artists For Charity
Those are some interesting works.
Re: Club Nintendo Refunds Coins To Wii U Owners Who Picked Up Super Metroid
Very generous. I would have ordered Super Metroid myself if I had known this would happen.
Re: East Meets West In RPG Festival Of Magic, And It's Coming To The Wii U eShop
@TreesenHauser My first thought was Bioshock Infinite.
Re: Orion's Odyssey: A Pattern Blocks Adventure Reboots Kickstarter Campaign
Well, people pledged over $7,000 last time, and they only need $4,000 this time. It looks like they don't need any money from me.
Re: Wii U Owners Shunned Again As Warner Refuses To Reveal Injustice DLC Release Date
I did not buy the game because I was expecting something like this to happen.
Re: Rex Rocket Developer Keen To Bring Zelda-Style Blossom Tales To Nintendo Systems
This game certainly looks pretty and has a charming setting. But I don't want Rex Rocket.
Re: Feature: Robust DLC Ensures That Fire Emblem: Awakening Just Keeps On Giving
I think it's kind of unfair that you can overpower your army by paying for a few quick maps.
Re: Fan-Made Legend Of Zelda: Wind Waker Remix Album Coming Soon
This is good. Wind Waker has my favorite non recurring music in the series.
Re: Eiji Aonuma: Zelda 3DS Will Feature a Light and Dark World
That's nice. I wasn't sure that they had a real reason for using the Link to the Past setting.
Re: Madden NFL Is Skipping Nintendo Systems For The First Time Since 1991
This almost reads like a joke.
Re: Rumour: Next Sonic Game Will Go Back To His Roots, Is Coming To Wii U And 3DS
I never liked the old Sonics myself.
Also, what @Einherjar said.
Re: Developers Reveal Information on Shin Megami Tensei IV
Some of this stuff sounds really cool. But I don't want DLC in my game.
Re: Video: Luigi Defeats All Characters On Super Smash Bros. Melee By Doing Absolutely Nothing
@Five-seveN That reminds me of the matches I had with my own brother. I pissed so many people off with jigglypuff that it was practically banned at my house.
Re: Video: Luigi Defeats All Characters On Super Smash Bros. Melee By Doing Absolutely Nothing
Did I really just see that?

Re: Wii U Virtual Console Launch Lineup Is Revealed
Well they're all games we can already get on the wii vc, but at least they're something.
