TalkBack / Re: Sakurai Reveals Why Ice Climbers Were Cut, More Smash Bros. Details

« on: September 18, 2014, 09:23:23 PM »

So does this mean we can expect a new Duck Hunt game soon...?

I have wondered what a "Super Duck Hunt" with the Super Scope would have looked like. I don't think there'd be any duck left after getting hit with that.


I think we got Ice Climbers in the first place because Sakurai/Nintendo must have some sort of goal with each game to find some crazy off-the-wall character and make a fighter out of it.

Peach's may have slipped through because the result is random-usually a vegetable shows up, but occasionally you get a bomb. Whatever code handles that probably isn't working correctly with the hack check.

I only played one online game yesterday, and it seemed okay, but I'm probably not as astute at noticing things that are off. Then again, since I'm here in the states, perhaps I'd be a better "worst case" scenario, although I wouldn't necessarily be playing at peak times either. I'll have to try a few more online games and see how  things work out.

I remember having the VHS for Donkey Kong 64 I think it was, until my older brother snapped it in half in a fit of rage.

If you still feel the need to own it, it's not too hard to get on eBay.


I really wish Nintendo had asked CollegeHumor do a spoof/tribute of these for DKCR/Tropical Freeze/Star Fox 64 3D.

I definitely remember getting this one, as well as many of the other NP videos. I do wonder what production company made them. One that always gets interesting reactions is the Pokemon one. If you've seen the Star Fox 64 and Diddy Kong Racing ones it's in line with those, but people who haven't seen any of the others think it's really weird.

TalkBack / Re: Link, Animal Crossing Coming to Mario Kart 8 in DLC Packs

« on: August 26, 2014, 08:22:21 PM »

There's an Excitebike track as well.

Mario Kart 64 had one of those, but for some reason it was called Wario Stadium.


I do wonder how this will work with online play. There are a few possibilities:


-The DLC tracks can't be used online (unlikely)
-The DLC tracks can only be used online if everyone in the match has them (possible)
-The DLC tracks can be used online, but can't be selected by players who don't own them. In other words, they wouldn't be available as a choice or come up from random select, but you could still end up racing on them if someone else selected them. This could be a great marketing ploy to get people to buy the tracks.

I wonder if they'll be adding any tables (such as the recently released Street Fighter II one) to Zen Pinball 2.

One interesting thing about Ufouria is if I'm not mistaken the price is lower than Wii VC-no import fee. I recently picked it up on Japanese 3DS VC, but I'll still upgrade it here.

It would have been interesting to also see what percentage of the staff thought each character should return.

Mewtwo would be interesting-not sure if they'd use the old VA or the female one from movie 16.

If I'm not mistaken this is at least the third distinct (not counting plus) Korg game on DS/DSi/3DS. I hav to admit, I have looked into the first 3DS one (M01D), but I haven't needed to create too many of my own loops lately.

Four words: Pokemon Rumble Blast Corps-either that or Pokemon Rampage. We need a game where you use Pokemon to tear down buildings.

If this doesn't star Jaleel White, it can screw off.

Maybe they can work in the Sat AM theme song.

Hopefully they include some good tutorials, similar in scope to Wario Ware DIY. I've picked up a few things (like putting a power-up before the boss  ), but I'd love to learn more.

To be serious for a moment, overseas travel can be very risky if you are/get sick. Iwata would have other people with him, but even so you do not want to risk getting seriously ill in another country and end up in a situation where you may have difficulty figuring out where/how to get help or explaining what's wrong.

I'll totally buy it again. The only reason I stopped playing the 3DS one is I ran out of save slots and didn't wan't to clear my files.

Alpha 2 would be better if the emulator could go hi-speed during the load times (decompressing assets) to improve the experience.

Now they can do a combined HD remake of Pokemon Colosseum and Gale of Darkness for Wii U. I would say Pokemon Channel (a game I, for the record, liked) but I suppose Netflix and Hulu make that redundant in most people's eyes.

I get it because Iggy Azelea and Iggy Koopa have the same first name.

Oh, that's the connection. I was hoping the video would be footage of Iggy with lines from either the TV show or the Mario movie.


Also, wouldn't Iggy Pop (the person the character is actually named after) be more appropriate?

DKL is a bit odd since the DKC games were removed from Wii VC (at least in the west) a few years ago. This may be the best way to play it graphically (save Super Game Boy or GB Player) yet.

How's the music in the game? The original had good music, but very little of it.
