Defintely a no go with Smash... that game never worked. I voted for Advance Wars. Its one of the IPs I'd really love to see Ninty bring back

Had a lot of fun during the recording. You're editing for it is masterful Scott. You're like an audio wizard. Go Sports!

It does the same thing for me with Hulu Plus. I usually just reset the console and it starts working. But I'm sure you've tried that

Truly the gem of the Wii U virtual console thus far!

I remember when Nintendo fans HATED Windwaker's art style.

I remember when Nintendo fans would argue gameplay over graphics.

I remember when Nintendo fans would beg for a LTTP sequel.

This game looks awesome. I especially love the use of 3D to solve puzzles. The hieroglyphic link looks interesting as well. I'm honestly curious how it'll be used during boss battles.

I still to this day don't care much for the "toon link" art style.

I'm highly interested in the gameplay mechanics, especially the overworld exploration with wall movement transitioning to 2D.

And now that I've seen it in motion on the actual console via downloadable video I don't really mind the character models as much any more. Gameplay seems fine, there's never really gameplay issues when it comes to Zelda titles. I would much rather see a sprite based game though. But either way this is the sequel Ninty fans have been waiting for.

TalkBack / Re: Wii U Virtual Console Launch Lineup Announced

This line-up is pure trash! If you've owned a Wii U since launch than you already own 4 of these games. They're repeating the same mistake with this virtual console as they did with the Wii. Lackluster titles, trickle outs and nonsense.


For shame Iwata... for shame

There's something about the art style of the game that just doesn't seem right to me. I mean the hyrule-glifics (I'm so sorry for the pun) effect for walking on walls and platforms is really neat, and looks like the Link from the intro to Wind Waker which is pretty awesome. There's just something off about the link character model. It just all looks kind of plastic/action figure like. It's a terrible adjective but it just seems lazy to me. I can't explain it.

From what I saw on Nintendo's Facebook page the Wii U VC update is coming Tuesday to NA at least. My wallet is ready for transfers

I voted MM3, just because I happen to own MM2 on VC for Wii already. Should be an interesting retroactive either way though.
