I can't help but laugh at this. It's not even surprising, but more of an "Aaaaaand there it goes." moment. What did people who bought the console expect was going to happen? It was developed with that system in mind, it isn't going to just magically disappear XD. But it CAN magically APPEAR~

Yeah, not to mention you kind of pay $500 upfront for the privilege of being fucked over by Microsoft, too. As time goes on I'm losing any faith I had in consoles, which as a kid I never thought could happen.

Even when I am able to afford it, I'm skeptical on getting a WiiU, but at least that (still) has some exclusives that I care for. Can't really say the same for the Xbone/PS4, but I've never been much of a Playstation fella and the only XBOX I had was the original - that had its disc drive inexplicably fail to read game discs even though it could read DVDs fine.

At this point I might end up sticking with the PC for good. If that happens and I somehow luck out into full-time gamedev with console ports on the side, I'd probably only buy the consoles to develop/test on

I just played through the Throwback Galaxy and well...

...if anything deserved a Wiimake for the U launch, it's Super Mario 64. With the Galaxy engine.




Edit: Found this:

When deciphered, the list is:

Spoiler

- Super Mario 64
- Ridge Racer 64
- Wave Race 64
- Star Fox 64
- Excitebike 64
- Majoras Mask
- 1080 Snowboarding

Hoping it's true. It would go along well with Skull Kid's tease recently.

It'd be so awkward of them to put Majora's Mask on the WiiU, when Ocarina of Time was made portable on the 3DS. Not that I'd dislike it or anything, but I'm just putting it out there. How come they never gave the first Zelda an updated 2D remake anyway? The one that started the whole series. The one that caused the other games to exist sure doesn't get that much attention.

[TomGuycott]

Wasn't BS Zelda an updated version of the original?

If there is any classic Zelda with no remake it's Zelda 2.

[Koh]

But it was also Japan only, and Z2 needs a remake too.

[Vipershark]

Iirc Miyamoto himself hates Zelda 2
supposedly they wanted to make a much bigger game but due to time constraints and technological limitations they ended up with, well, Zelda 2

Miyamoto considers it a disappointment and his worst game and it's one of Nintendo's "black sheep" games

[Gors]

that makes sense because i really hated Zelda 2 and couldn't play it for more than 10 minutes

[TomGuycott]

Then he should have it completely redone as a new Zelda with less time constraints and obvious differences in tech limitations.

I just see a lot if potential with a sidescrolling Zelda.

I agree with this. Also a lot of favorite things are IN Zelda II. I'd love to see Helmet head return even if only as a remake/completely redone Zelda. And... 3D Error would be fun.

Oh... the lines in that game. I think it had a lot of memoriable ones... even if they were only due to engrish.

[Vitesse]

I guess I'm the only one who genuinely loved Zelda II.

[Phantom Killah]

I really like Zelda II too (to), but it's a pretty flawed game.

A modern side scrolling Zelda (like that Legend of the Princess game someone made a few years ago) could be really cool, though.

maybe he owns pokemon tetris for pokemon mini

Holy crap! The Wonderful 101 is not only one of the most intense and insane games I played in a while but also one of the longest! Normally I've beaten a game at this point, but no!

It keeps the story going with plot twist after plot twist.

Sorry to keep raving about this game but damn, it's like a breath of fresh air in the gaming world. Aside from some Indie games that is..
