I totally forgot about this one. For some reason the fat one is the one that stuck in my memory - even though I owned the gb color pocket thing that was like a clear/purple case showing the insides. I played DQ I+2 and Crystalis on that thing. And some donkey kong country game. I remember bringing this camping in the summer of 2000.
THIS JUST IN: The NX has been delayed in order to include a port to hook up the VIrtual Boy and experience Nintendo Virtual Reality!! Enjoy Splatoon in beautifuellly rendered Red Lines! Who is on your team? Who KNOWS!? This is Splatoon NX-VB BABY!! (disclaimer - it only works with the New Nintendo NX and you have to own an original Virtual Boy from 1995. They aren't making any more of them either - you'll all have to share. And you'll have to use your Wii U power supply - in the name of trying to keep costs down they blah blah blah)
but really, I love Nintendo. They just do so many wacky things.
Seriously. Whatever you're doing, Nintendo - just stop. The release schedule is already barren as all heck-beans. And I was excited for a March release date. And with nothing coming out - and the system getting delayed - people are easily going to be able to ignore the NX. And that would mean the end of Nintendo as we know it.
@MadAdam81 those aren't tiny dips - that is what I said - and that is the case. The frame rate drops are 20%. 20% is not a tiny dip. I'm not saying it makes the game not fun - but lets be honest here.
@Dankykong Those aren't tiny dips - those are deep caverns. Tiny dips would be short segments of maybe 57 frames or whatever - this is going down to 48 frames for long periods of time. Are you typing from Opposite Land?
@ReshiramZekrom I've had a few DS games downloaded into my 3DS for a long long time now. Dragon Quest Wars, Mario and Donkey Kong, there are a bunch that you can download into the 3DS. Always has been. Shantae Risky's Revenge - the list goes on and on.
I see it as "these are the games we really want to see on the Virtual Console." And Secret of Mana 2 (er 3 or 4 or whichever number you want to use)
I want to see Blood of Bahamut translated.
Live a Live.

Seriously - those are some of the best SNES games ever.
@DoctorOverbuild Obviously we all like our games to be perfected. But they've already fixed splatoon like 10 times by now. There aren't going to be any major overhauls.
@scamander yeah - that is my point precisely. I'm waiting for the Square Enix games to come over here. on the eshop. Those DS remasters look pretty good right about now!! Or Final Fantasy Tactics advanced. Anything. Secret of Mana?
@MadAussieBloke 13 was bad 14 was bad... I think 15 is going to suck - and the 7 remake is going to suck too. Square Enix has to do some work before I can trust them again.
@Aneira No - the Wii had a lot of them - but the Wii U hasn't had ANY yet - so the poster made a valid point. We're all waiting for the onslaught of Square Enix Games on the Wii U VC - but so far - in North America - Nothing yet.
@Henmii well, no not every movie is in 3D - and 3D in film is terrible. So yes, I still laugh at 3D in movies. It is trivial and useless. It harms the film. Makes the picture darker. 3D is stupid in film.

Re: Someone At Nintendo Expected The Wii U To Shift 100 Million Units

Re: Random: Store Shelves Appear To Be Filling With Pre-Owned Copies Of Star Fox Zero
this is much worse than with other games. otherwise it wouldn't be a story
Re: Random: Store Shelves Appear To Be Filling With Pre-Owned Copies Of Star Fox Zero

Re: Editorial: Fire Emblem Fates and Code Name S.T.E.A.M., Two Very Different Intelligent Systems Ventures

Re: Digital Foundry Puts the Star Fox Zero Resolution and Framerate to the Test
@Dankykong and it isn't a single drop - the game is pretty consistently down around 50 FPS - did you even watch the video?

Re: Soapbox: It's too Early to Judge Paper Mario: Color Splash
@Dr_Corndog Good luck with Sticker Star (that was a 3DS game) - it was boring and not satisfying.
Re: Nintendo Download: 10th March (Europe)
I'm sure someone will explain to me why we don't have the DS games that you can buy on the Wii U - why aren't they being sold on the 3DS eShop??
Re: Review: Front Mission (SNES)
@Shiryu yup - you're right - it has been a while - woops
Re: Ubisoft Discounts Galore in 2-Week North American eShop Sale
Everyone should buy Ghost Recon Shadow Wars - such a great game - if you like Steamworld Heist or Code Name Steam - two other fantastic games

Re: Shantae: Risky's Revenge Director's Cut is Nearing Release on Wii U
I was just about to drop $13 bucks for this on the 3DS - cuz I didn't hear about it for months. I'm glad I haven't bought it yet.

Re: Wii Street U Service Being Discontinued In March, Leaving eShop This Month
Soooo - can I cancel my $5 that I gave them for it? Can they give me a credit? This is kind of a boner. I hope they don't do this to all of my games!!
Re: Unity Support on New Nintendo 3DS is Now Available to Developers
I'm not buying a New 3DS - the NX is going to come out soon and make all of those New 3DS purchases obsolete.
