Wow, I can't begin to explain exactly how little I care

it's real lame how 90% of discussion I've seen on the game is about the presence or absence of some silly unlockable costumes.

That's because 90% of the people discussing the game haven't played it or seen it and probably won't ever touch it but they don't need to do any of those things to talk about Tecmo sleaze.

I've played it and I think it's fun but I think the new camera makes things way too easy and it's kinda repetitive. I suspect it was a rushed development.

It's a travesty that none of the current consoles or handhelds have an original Bomberman game outside of backwards compatibility

I don't know how to tell you this, but Bomberman has been loving dead for a while now. Deader than Megaman.

I think it's interesting (?) to note just how...scantily these bikini actually are. Like they were designed so that when you're in the rainy areas and the costume gets wet you can actually see the fabric getting soaked and gross. It's like the one in the white is wearing a drat napkin.

Not seeing the problem. Those atleast seem to have physics and particle effects attached to them instead of umpteenth ez cashin DLC color change costumes.

1. It's an okay adventure game with a very bad combat system hastily tacked on
2. Limited print run from early in the Wii's existence + it's a highly desirable game, though if you can get a copy definitely do

People just want the console ver of Fire Emblem. Path of Radiance is the same deal.n Who knows, it might get released on the Wii U VC

Also of the Hour and a half I played Fragile Dream, I liked it. Need to go back and play it some more.

I'm a little surprised at the lack of fanfare. I guess Nintendo got celebrating out of its system with Mario Maker.

Scrub.

I've got this weird half-memory of the time that my mom took me to buy a bootleg Zelda cartridge out of the trunk of a car outside an indoor soccer arena. We lived just a few miles away from NoA and I seem to recall dumpster diving for defects being a part of it, but that was always part of the local Nintendo lore for 10 year olds, that you could score all kinds of games that were just badly labeled if you could get into those goldmine dumpsters outside of headquarters.

You know, because we figured they made the carts and boxes there.

I remember when they were giving away the Wii Fire Emblem game for 10 bucks at toysrus because nobody was buying stuff that was not wii sports.

Not really. It still has some charm to it, but it's grindy as gently caress and Earthbound does literally anything that game does a million times better (except Polyanna)

Looking at the list, Gargoyle's Quest 2 is a pretty underrated classic, it's a NES game made by Capcom so that's a name you can trust (and subsequently get Demon's Crest). Ufouria is also worth checking out.

Despite what that guy above says Kirby's Adventure is not a POS and probably the best Kirby game so definitely get that if you haven't played it.

Eh the game hasn't really aged well. I think Kirby-style controls just don't work well on the NES.

ChaosArgate

Why does everyone think I'm going to get in trouble?

Kirby controls are fine for two-button controls, I mean the GBA remake was fine and I don't remember that game making excessive use of the shoulder buttons so it had basically the same controls as the NES original. My main problem with Kirby's Adventure is that flying is done by holding up on the D-Pad and you can't puff up with just the A button.

Sorry if this was already asked. But I was wondering since they released the Gamecube adapter why aren't they releasing Gamecube games for the Wii U just like they did with the Wii games? Would love to have a digital copy of Mario Kart Double Dash and Sunshine.

Fatal Frame V review:

* the U tablet controller was made for this game (and Pokemon Snap)
* tank controls, Jesus loving Christ, the tank controls

Pick if you like slow-paced, horror games with Japanese themes and can forgive the prehistoric controls. Otherwise, probably not.

How does a game with tank controls exist in the year 2015? Didn't we get this whole "twin stick control" thing sorted out like 15 years ago?

I got Bayou Billy and Dragon Warrior for the same Christmas. One out of two ain't bad I guess.
