TalkBack / Re: Luigi-Themed DLC Adds Over 80 Stages to New Super Mario Bros. U

« on: February 14, 2013, 10:41:27 AM »

I wonder how multiplayer will work if Mario isn't playable in these levels.  More Toads? Single player only?


Would be cool to have a playable Peach again, but I don't expect it.

I've always found Tekken's character design to be atrocious. I'd be happy if none of those characters make it into the game. Soul Calibur would be better but still a bit odd to me.


Pac-Man and Dig-Dug would be much better choices. Maybe Galaga and Mr. Driller could be stages or assists.

A Link to the Past (or sequel) could have some really cool effects with 3D. The multilayer dungeons with holes in the floor immediately jump to mind.


Whatever they choose, I'm definitely interested.  I was too tired of OoT to grab its 3DS remake but any of these possibilities would be day one purchases for me.

Hopefully it's not point based, whatever it is.  Gamerscores are impossible to interpret.  Did this person play a ton of games for 5 mins or completely master every bit of 5 games?  It's an almost meaningless number in the end.  Trophies are much better in that regard.


Mega Man 9's achievements are still the only ones that have ever hooked me. (Damn you, Mr. Perfect!)  I'm fine with them being optional. I'd much rather that than having half-assed achievements where the devs don't care.  Hopefully there's a bit of system level integration though.  It could be the kind of thing that'd be fun to see pop up on the Miiverse.

I am almost certain the second song in the Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde set is actually from Rygar (NES).

Very happy to see this. It was honestly tearing me up that Nintendo was supporting such a horrible piece of legislation.

I loved this game back in the day. They nailed the feel of the NES game perfectly. Will definitely be picking it up.

I'm actually really looking forward to this. Haven't touched a Mario Party game since the first one. I've considered jumping back in when the franchise finally goes online but this looks even better! Two questions:


1) How are the mini-games integrated into the gameplay? When do you play them?


2) When you roll your dice, do you hold a button and shake the wiimote, hearing the sound of dice clattering come from the speaker? Super minor but I always hoped some game would do that, haha!

Could you describe the additional levels more?  Are they really all new, full length levels?  Because 20 additional levels for each game sounds like an insane amount of new content and would make me buy this in a heartbeat, despite owning the entire series on WiiWare.


Does BEAT, for example, really have 23 levels now instead of just 3?  *drools*

TalkBack / Re: Full Save States Possible for 3DS Virtual Console Games

« on: June 03, 2011, 03:24:11 PM »

I also prefer the Wii's suspend method.  Games are always more fun for me when I really have to knuckle down and learn them inside and out.  If I blow through something with ease it's too quickly forgotten.


Hopefully I can make myself resist abusing this but I know it'll be hard after a particularly tragic game over.

TalkBack / Re: Rumor Round-up: Nintendo's Next Console

« on: April 17, 2011, 11:41:39 AM »

I'd love to see a rundown of previous console rumors being compared to what the console actually turned out to be.  I'm not sure how hard it would be to find all those old rumors for the Wii or GameCube before they were unveiled but it'd be interesting to see and would really help put all these rumors in the proper context.
