@SparkOfSpirit What I have found particularly good so far is the variety - as long as we get some other lesser expected but good stuff as well I will be happy.
@SparkOfSpirit I think some others would more interesting like Vectorman / Ristar / Wonderboy in Monster World etc or more System 16 (Fantasy Zone has done presumably quite a bit of the work).
@Quorthon Maybe it sidesteps Nintendo not allowing Megadrive VC otherwise. (Although the Nomad was a portable).
@burninmylight Pretty much but you get a choice of which version (e.g Japanese or International - depending on the game they can be quite different i.e Japanese Ecco the Dolphin is significantly easier) and other things depending on the title. (Shinobi III has the 6 button option for example).
@Tsusasi DQ III (There is the Super Famicom version but it is in Japanese or the bad NES / GBC ports) / Knights of the Old Republic / Lunar Silver Star Story Touch (iOS) / Final Fantasy III / Final Fantasy IV are as good as or better than the originals and support physical controls (Other than DQ III but that is better because it is based on the Super Famicom version). Even stuff like the mobile port of VVVVVV is better. (And supports physical controls).
@BaffleBlend At least those games are good. Renegade Kid does the same thing but the games are garbage. There are a few that don't do that. e.g the creators of Spelunky.
I wish the final difficulty didn't have to be played in one sitting. (Maybe there is another but I will never pass the old school one because I don't want to play the whole thing in one sitting). This is presuming nothing has changed since I played the Steam version.
It would be cool if Windows 10 was treated as a first class gaming platform equivalent to the Xbone. (Or even if just buying an Xbone version allowed playing a port via crossbuy).
They can do it easily (They proved it with Forza).
@Chubblings It is always possible problem is it doesn't affect the metacritic score due to bad reviewers. But more excessive graphics does affect the score so the management says do that.
@Jazzer94 This is standard pricing - But they usually also provide a goty / complete etc version not much later which I am 99.9% sure Nintendo won't. (Leaving this even worse than the worst Capcom examples it seeks to emulate).
@ricklongo There were loads announced for the first part of this one (That then never materialised) no reason to suspect the same won't happen to the second half of this year.
I still want to know what exactly the Splatoon amiibo stuff is going to do. (If the extra weapons are the best for online it is enough for me to skip the game).
Smash Bros they are turning into another SFxTekken with its pointless DLC.
I have the disks of both of these (Pandoras Tower is not even opened). So I won't get them. (Probably would at the Metroid Prime Trilogy / DKCR price).
@Action51 It is not the same because you need pro controllers and wiimotes in the Wii U case depending on the game. (I am a believer in the same controls for everybody in the interest of fairness).
@Usagi-san They have never done anything about the Dojin stuff that used Nintendo assets as it felt like. There is another one where you can play Super Mario Bros with characters from different games. Probably sites like this are the reason things get taken down.
@R-Moss Yep it is a Fire Emblem game for people who don't like Fire Emblem. (Similar to how Super Castlevania IV is a Castlevania game for people who hate Castlevania).

Re: Hardware Classics: Sega Dreamcast
@RegalSin Skies of Arcadia is light years better than any of the Final Fantasy games on the PS1/PS2 - So much better they might as well not exist.
Re: Hardware Classics: Sega Dreamcast
@Ristar42 Should have used the Rally Wheel for Crazy Taxi.
Re: Hardware Classics: Sega Dreamcast
Arcade at home is all I ever wanted (Still is really.)
Easy to learn hard to master don't see why anybody would want anything else.
Re: A Book About The Iconic Bitmap Brothers Is Being Kickstarted
I think they should release the original 3 player Chaos Engine and do the job properly this time. (Maybe as a downloadable title.)
Re: Bandai Almost Made A Laptop With A Built-In SNES
Wonder why they didn't allow Pioneer to put a SFC module into that laserdisk player. (That had PC Engine and Megadrive).
I can imagine changing their mind at the last minute would have annoyed the people making this sort of stuff.
Re: A Book About The Iconic Bitmap Brothers Is Being Kickstarted
The recent Speedball 2 HD / Chaos Engine HD are awful ports. (Prime example of what not to do to port a 50hz Amiga game).
Re: Guide: Improve Your Wii U's External Hard Drive Performance By Disabling Sleep Mode
@erborlongan If you are using a Y Cable it might cause it to start crashing. If you are using a powered HDD then it won't make any difference.
Re: Guide: Improve Your Wii U's External Hard Drive Performance By Disabling Sleep Mode
I thought this was already well known. (I know I posted it months ago on the forums).
Think it was Gamefaq's I got it from originally but it is certainly old news.
Re: WayForward is Bringing Shantae and Friends to the Apple Watch in Watch Quest! Heroes of Time
The directors cut is on iOS as well (And supports physical controls). Its also the cheapest platform.
Re: Fashion: This Fetching Range Of Zelda-Themed Clothing Hy-Rules
@LUIGITORNADO Maybe that geek themed part of Tokyo. (But employed people.)
Re: Guitar Hero Live Won't Work With Your Old Gear Or DLC, Won't Be A Yearly Series
@Ryno Steam pretty much offers that nobody else does.
Re: Streets Of Rage 2, Gunstar Heroes And Sonic The Hedgehog 2 Are Your Next Sega 3D Classics
@EllenJMiller They are not perfect though. (Sound particularly they seem to struggle with.)
The Game Over jingle on Gunstar Heroes on the Wii VC is just not right.
D4 Enterprise / Mame / Neo Geo MVS I cannot tell the difference.
M2 I can (The Neo Geo Station ones on PS3) (And whoever does e.g SNK Arcade Classics is even worse than M2).

Re: Streets Of Rage 2, Gunstar Heroes And Sonic The Hedgehog 2 Are Your Next Sega 3D Classics
@Nation Not as good as Christian Whitehead's port (With a real controller).
Re: Egads, Shovel Knight Is Getting A Physical Release On Nintendo 3DS
@sketchturner I cannot see how all the DLC is going to be ready by that point. (Presuming the promises on the kickstarter are to be kept).
Re: Streets Of Rage 2, Gunstar Heroes And Sonic The Hedgehog 2 Are Your Next Sega 3D Classics
Sonic 2 is still the Sonic game I like the least out of 1 / 2 / 3+K / CD. (The extra zone Christian Whitehead added was pretty good though).
Gunstar Heroes & Streets of Rage 2 are much better games.
Re: Egads, Shovel Knight Is Getting A Physical Release On Nintendo 3DS
@Tazcat2011 It should always be. The cut to the retailer doesn't have to be paid.
Re: Community Interview: Affordable Space Adventures - The Developers Answer Your Questions
"All types of game making are risky" - Not true see Edelweiss.
Re: NES-Style Adventure Alwa’s Awakening Could Be Casting Its Spell On The Wii U
Never played Solstice but I played its sequel Equinox. (That was isometric).
Re: Feature: A Day in The Future Life of a Nintendo Gamer

Re: Feature: A Day in The Future Life of a Nintendo Gamer
@Inkling I am hoping NX gets rid of physical (Or uses 3DS style carts). Either would be ok. Disks are not.
Re: Wii U Shooter Splatoon Makes EDGE Magazine's Cover
@outburst We have it at £25 from the Game Collection (Part of the reason I assume the Amiibo are almost mandatory).
Re: Weirdness: Super Meat Boy Is Calling For Your Votes In The Smash Bros. Fighter Ballot
@BaffleBlend At least those games are good. Renegade Kid does the same thing but the games are garbage. There are a few that don't do that. e.g the creators of Spelunky.
Re: Talking Point: Nintendo's Plans for DLC and Microtransactions Point to Changed Priorities
Makes no difference to me who does it. Nintendo doesn't get a free pass.
Re: Pokémon White Makes Surprise Appearance in UK Charts as Xenoblade Chronicles 3D Struggles
@Kat Cex online - £40. It looks like its just got one copy so maybe not. (Been watching it because if it goes silly I will sell mine).
Re: Nintendo's Official UK Store Opens Pre-Orders for Splatoon Bundles and amiibo
They better have a method for getting all the content for people who want digital without paying stupid money to scalpers.
Re: Pokémon White Makes Surprise Appearance in UK Charts as Xenoblade Chronicles 3D Struggles
The Wii version is pretty reasonably available in PAL regions and not too expensive which changes things significantly.
Re: Poll: Which Characters Do You Want to Win the Smash Bros. Fighter Ballot?
I would rather Sakurai do something else I think him doing this is a waste of what he can do.
Re: Fantasy Life 2 Is Skipping 3DS In Favour Of Smartphones
I am not against getting it if it is a game where you can pay a normal price for the lot. Microtransactions / Freemium I won't touch though.
(Presuming physical controls on either iOS or Android are supported - Not bothered which).
Re: Gallery: Wii U Owners React to Screenshot Removal on Angry Video Game Nerd Adventures Miiverse Community

They can do it easily (They proved it with Forza).

Re: Rodea the Sky Soldier Glides to European Consoles on 25th September
So wait the Wii U version doesn't allow using the Wiimote (Around which it was designed in the first place.)
Re: Video: Super Mario 64 Leaps Onto Wii U Virtual Console
Has anybody tried playing SM64 with the Hori Smash Bros pad does it work well ? (Or is it even allowed).
Re: Video: Super Mario 64 Leaps Onto Wii U Virtual Console
@Bulbousaur Mario 64 - NTSC - DK64 - PAL
Re: Splatoon amiibo 3-Pack Will Cost $35, According To Amazon
@Nintendo_Ninja And missions. We don't know if it is going to mean it is vital to do so to have a reasonable game online or not though.
Re: Nintendo Download: 2nd April (North America)
@Captain_Gonru Nothing at all until at least September ?
Re: Rodea the Sky Soldier Glides to European Consoles on 25th September
@ricklongo There were loads announced for the first part of this one (That then never materialised) no reason to suspect the same won't happen to the second half of this year.
Re: Talking Point: Nintendo Turns to Classics, DLC and amiibo to Keep Fans Hooked
I still want to know what exactly the Splatoon amiibo stuff is going to do. (If the extra weapons are the best for online it is enough for me to skip the game).
Smash Bros they are turning into another SFxTekken with its pointless DLC.
Re: Get Ready To Build With Mario Maker On Wii U This September
@Kaze_Memaryu Pretty sure in the direct I saw the cape working.
Re: Pandora's Tower And Sin And Punishment Coming To The European eShop This Month
I have the disks of both of these (Pandoras Tower is not even opened). So I won't get them. (Probably would at the Metroid Prime Trilogy / DKCR price).
Re: Nintendo DS And Nintendo 64 Games Finally Coming To The Wii U Virtual Console
I wonder how well N64 works. (Wii wasn't good enough as far as I am concerned).
Re: Microsoft Once Had Some Pretty Wild Ideas, Including Making Xbox Free And Buying Nintendo
@FLUX_CAPACITOR Nothing is out of Microsoft's price range other than other Megacorps like Disney.
Re: Talking Point: It's Too Early to Write Off the Wii U Over The Legend of Zelda's Delay
@Action51 It is not the same because you need pro controllers and wiimotes in the Wii U case depending on the game. (I am a believer in the same controls for everybody in the interest of fairness).
Re: Nintendo Begins Takedown Proceedings on Super Mario 64 HD Fan Project
Why does nobody make it a parody. (As far as I know in that case you can use what you like).
Put a cheat code in to enable normal mode (Call it test mode).
Re: Nintendo Begins Takedown Proceedings on Super Mario 64 HD Fan Project
@Usagi-san They have never done anything about the Dojin stuff that used Nintendo assets as it felt like. There is another one where you can play Super Mario Bros with characters from different games. Probably sites like this are the reason things get taken down.
Re: Feature: Ten Must-Play Games for the Nintendo 3DS
@R-Moss Yep it is a Fire Emblem game for people who don't like Fire Emblem. (Similar to how Super Castlevania IV is a Castlevania game for people who hate Castlevania).
