TalkBack / Re: Nintendo Announces Locations For World Championship Qualifiers

« on: May 19, 2015, 11:45:01 AM »

So if I wanted to join in I would somehow have to get my boss to give me that day off (schedule is already set), then drive 7 freaking hours just for a chance. What kind of BS is this? Same with the E3 demos, instead of letting people download the demos, they put them in a freaking small 50 stores across the entire country. And I bet the 8 people that get to avoid the qualifiers will be top level tournament players who already get special treatment (like those who got invited to E3 last year for free).

I'm not gonna get excited about the Best Buy demos if it's like last year. Remember last year? When lke 50 stores in the country got them and most people would have to drive several hours to get to one that had the demos?

I'm surprised Europe still doesn't have "Brain Age: Concentration Training" (or I guess it's long European name of "Dr. Kawashima's Devilish Brain Training: Can You Stay Focused?"), considering Japan has had it since July 2012 and North America since February 2013. Heck, even South Korea and Taiwan have had it since 2013.

From the Nintendo Direct, doesn't VIP Premium only let you collect birthdays of Miis and select favorites? Hardly worth $5, I wouldn't even pay $0.99 for that.


Can someone who gets DK64 see if they replaced JetPac in it?

Got it for my 3DS version (Mewtwo is pretty good in the game), will do it for the Wii U version when I get home from work.

broodwars is wrong. Although Waluigi Pinball is fun, Baby Park is easily a great track. There is a good reason it's one of the most popular tracks in the Mario Kart series, it's fun and the perfect example of the craziness that the series represents.

TalkBack / Re: Activision Announces Guitar Hero Live for Wii U

« on: April 14, 2015, 02:55:25 PM »

Just the sheer fact that Activision threw their hat in the music game ring again has killed any interest I had in this.

"Studio A is making a crappy movie, so i'm not gonna watch any movies", that is basically your logic.


More games is never a bad thing, even if you are not interested in it.

« on: April 10, 2015, 09:15:51 PM »

I don't own a New 3DS XL and have no desire to (I MIGHT have gotten the regular New 3DS), so getting the game isn't even an option to me.

TalkBack / Re: Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest (Wii U VC) Review Mini

« on: April 08, 2015, 04:17:04 PM »

I like watching glitch videos on YouTube, and there is a game killing one for this game. If you do the glitch, you get odd things like turning into a golden rhino, or even see what looks like Diddy Kong hanging upside down with red around his head. What kills the game though is the glitch causes the game to crash on the menus screen (thus preventing you from ever even playing the game again).

TalkBack / Re: Animal Crossing: Happy Home Designer Announced

So is it like DLC or what?

It's not DLC. Per the article:

"A new Animal Crossing title"

"[/size][size=0px]No chores will be in the upcoming title"

And only 10 seconds into the video, they say "a brand new Nintendo 3DS game".[/size]

[/size][size=0px]Not sure what made you think it was DLC when the video and article both make it clear that it's a new game.[/size]

« on: April 01, 2015, 10:02:13 PM »

nhaines is just plain wrong on the 3DS not being able to emulate the N64 perfectly. And congrats Soren on predicting something most of us expected.


Glad SM64 is now out on Wii U, I will get it at some point and hope that soon they release it on 3DS. Surprised at DK64 though since it has a couple of games Microsoft owns in it. Did Nintendo reach a deal with Microsoft? Or did they replace the games?

Designing homes was never a part of Animal Crossing games I enjoyed, so I doubt I will pick up this title since it focuses only on that part.

I think another Con is that it's only playable on the New Nintendo 3DS, which will severely limit its audience.

I don't know why the Zelda tour goes to so few places. Most people in the US would have to drive 5+ hours to get to one, yet some cities get multiple dates. Why not spread the love?

"Mario vs Donkey Kong can trace it's roots back to 1994"? Uh no, (on Nintendo consoles maybe), but overall it traces back into the early 1980s.

Not really. Your claim is like saying Call of Duty traces its roots back to 1973s "Maze War".

Not that i'm complaining about Wii U getting more games, but why is Wii U getting the first OlliOlli game the same week that Xbox One and PlayStation 4 get its sequel?

How do I get it? I have an active Club Nintendo account, but I can't find it in the eShop and I haven't gotten a code from Nintendo. And I do live in North America.

I don't want the XL, it's not that portable to me and I have no plans to get it. So this is one less sale they will get (I didn't buy the DSi XL or 3DS XL for the same reason).

After playing the demos of both MH3U and MH4U, I don't see the appeal of the series. They are only mildly good, boring, and gets repetitive very quickly. At least I now understand why it only has a niche following outside of Japan. Good for those who like the games, but I think they are pretty bad.

I lost all interest in the New 3DS once Nintendo decide to tell North America "F*** you". I don't want the XL, it's too bulky to be portable and is overpriced. I want the regular one. Nintendo must not want my money because I am not gonna buy the XL (which also means I won't buy any games exclusive to the New 3DS).

The article says they are working on local multiplayer. Guess you missed that.

All Nintendo Published games, sadly no 3rd party.

You mean you are shocked that a list of the top selling NINTENDO products only includes products from NINTENDO? Both the article and the table clearly state that it's a list of the top selling games from Nintendo, so of course it won't include 3rd party because this is from Nintendo's financial results and indicating their internal games.
