Only in mediocre Youtube videos like this one.

[FinalSmash]

That looks way worse than just mediocre E-Man.

That looks way worse than just mediocre E-Man.

And sounds worse too.

My friends tell me this sounds like it could be from the Mario & Luigi series. However, this game came 5 years before that series started, and the composers are different. Perhaps M & L's composer was inspired by this?

[E-Man]

I can see where you're go gin with this, Koh. It has several of the same instruments and the rhythm is the same as the overworld theme of the Bean Bean Kingdom.

Perhaps Alpha Dream played a few other RPGs to give them a few ideas?

[Koh]

It would be interesting for this to have inspired that, considering how obscure this was. I wish Compile's stuff got more attention, so they didn't go bankrupt; they always made quality games. It's not that Puyo Puyo sucks now or anything, but I prefer for things to be in the hands of their original creators.

How have people already ripped the soundtrack for Mario Kart 8? The game isn't even out yet. Or maybe it's already out in Japan? IDK.

They were ripped from the official site.

[Mystie]

Ah. I haven't gotten on the official site, so that's why I didn't know. Thanks.

I am still miserably chugging through NSMBWii.

The thought of not finishing it drives me crazy and I can't figure out why.

[AuraLancer]

You sound like me when it first came out. I couldn't figure out why I wasn't enjoying it.

I'm playing through Far Cry 3 again. I really like the gun play of it, though I must admit that I'm playing on easy.

[NICKtendo DS]

I'm getting tired of this shit.
Get GBC Mario Golf free if you buy Mario Golf World Tour on eShop
Get Kirby's Dreamland 2 free if you buy Kirby Triple Deluxe on eShop
I understand that with promotions that give you free retail games, their only option is to give them via eShop (Wind Waker HD will barely fit on the Wii U standard after I get MK8), but this is bullshit. Can't I just register my physical copies on Club Nintendo and get DL codes there?
Memory space is precious. I already had to delete Luigi's Mansion 2 my friend gave me from his promotion. It's good for low filesize applications, like VC games and DLC, but digital games devour memory.

It's unfortunate, but It's also sound (if not shady) business economics

A baseline WiiU is designed to be a lesser version of a "proper" WiiU

Companies are completely aware they are selling you a potentially nerfed version of their product, thats the whole point
The whole purpose of selling economy models of consoles is to force you to eventually upgrade to a more expensive version

The aim is that not only will they receive an initial purchase from a consumer, but by purchasing a lesser model, that customer will
inevitably have to "upgrade" and purchase an entirely new console, resulting in a higher amount of units sold, ergo more profits


Shame that this is how it works, but this is how it works

Sorry guy, it's a shame, I feel for ya

EDIT: Also, if you have the largest model available, and still have this problem, then this just points to negligence by Nintendo in general,
which really at this point is par for the course
