Do any of your posters do a regular game review thread for the VC games?

I hope I can get the same info from regular poster's reviews like I was getting off NSider.

Post links if applicable!

We don't have a specific VC user review subforum, but NWR itself reviews VC games on a "Recommended" scale - check it out.

I'm so used to a few reviews off of NSider that that news really sucks a big one.

And sad to say NWR's aren't always on time with theirs. I could count on at least three quality reviews up on NSider before 11am EST on Mondays!!!

Just wait until NWR recommends Kid Icarus to you and everyone else! Then you'll really be shocked!

Dang, I'm still asleep at 11:00 EST.

Though, at NWR, in the talkback threads for the VC games, every puts in their 2 cents about the games they know about. It does take about a day for NWR to do the VC update, it has great info on the games.

Already got that one and about 20+ others

But I like reviews w/ lost of pics, and videos, and good hostory of the games/systems they came out on. I can't stand the "It's great" or "It Sucks" review. I'd really like to know WHY it sucks or is great.

NWR tells you why. We talk about VC games more than it looks. If you have a question and can wait a few hours for an answer, asking what people think about _______ game will get you a quality answer.

Mashiro · « **Reply #7 on:** September 17, 2007, 06:00:37 PM »

Just don't ever bring up Kid Icurus.

Here or in another forum here?

Usually discussion on the weeks releases take place in the VC Mondays sticky thread at the top of the Nintendo Console Forums (someone correct me if I am wrong on that).

MarioAllStar · « **Reply #10 on:** September 17, 2007, 06:07:54 PM »

Every article on the NWR home page has a "Talkback" link which allows you to comment on the article. Forum members often use that to discuss the review and state their opinion on the game itself.

VC games don't need reviews! Just look at the Shopping Channel screenshot, and it'll tell you "i am teh awesome" and you'll KNOW it's an $8 well spent.

Already answered for you! See, we're not that bad, just remember that while we might be different from the Nsider forums, we're still extremely more special.

You buy a game based on one screen shot?

Mashiro · « **Reply #14 on:** September 17, 2007, 06:16:22 PM »

Yeah NWR forum people are good people. They accepted me in such a realtively short amount of time. Now I'm a regular around these parts!

And by accepted I mean I forcfully fought my way into the network of people on these forums >.> <.< jk. or am I?

Isn't that how we all buy games? If it's good enough for Minesweeper, it ought to be good enough for everything else!

Purple_Beard · « **Reply #16 on:** September 17, 2007, 06:18:59 PM »

Well an opinion on a game is not necessarily a review of a game. Fine line I know...but there is a difference. I actually had my own review thread going on there...but it was just for games that I bought /had bought when the came out for the VC (sans Excite Truck).

I need at least 4 and some good commentary on the game

And a youtube gameplay video for bonus points!

If you like to review things on your own, you may want to look into Reader Reviews. It's a little barren right now, but If you think it needs a VC topic, don't let me hold you back!

The only reason you were accepted is because of ME!
