Posted September 14, 2015 Since I just completed Donkey Kong '94 on the 3DS VC, I'm really looking forward to getting back into the GBA one. I'm just wondering how many people will play the GBA game for the first time and think "What the hell is this platforming nonsense!?" Anyway, considering Mario Vs DK GBA, the only game in that series I actually like. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted September 21, 2015 Sigh... Nothing again this week I'd guess that it's probably because there's a lot of other stuff coming out this week on Wii U (including Skylanders - which they have a partnership with Activision for with the Bowser/DK cameos) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted October 5, 2015 Oh no... Don't do this to me NOE... I want to be able to play Mario Golf off TV... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted October 5, 2015 Oh no... Don't do this to me NOE... I want to be able to play Mario Golf off TV... Aren't all of Mario Golf's N64 courses available to download in World Tour on 3DS? That may be the preferable option for a lot of people, despite how outstanding the original N64 game is Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted October 5, 2015 Aren't all of Mario Golf's N64 courses available to download in World Tour on 3DS? That may be the preferable option for a lot of people, despite how outstanding the original N64 game is He doesn't want it for the courses, he wants it for the greatest character in the history of Mario Golf. Bow down before the immortal Maple! Not even kidding, Maple is broken! Someone who hits that far shouldn't be able to hit so perfectly straight! The GB Version custom characters are the only ones who can do better, and even then, it's not by much. Oh no... Don't do this to me NOE... I want to be able to play Mario Golf off TV... See, now this is an odd one... Mario Golf isn't a text-heavy game like Paper Mario, so I don't see why they would choose the 50Hz version. Of course, this is Nintendo and they love giving us this kind of treatment, so who knows. (I wouldn't get my hopes up though) This can still all be sorted by providing the option of choosing which version you'd want during the purchase procedure...

Posted October 5, 2015 Yup. Maple is a BEAST! Also, you know, Mini Golf, Speed Golf, Ring Shot, those hilarious animations and DAT SOUNDTRACK! The N64 original is amazing! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted October 10, 2015 Pocky & Rocky With Becky is good fun! Never played the GBA game before and I don't see why it gets such a bad rap. Sure it's not as complex as the SNES games, but it's still a good game in its own right and the simplicity is nice if you just want to blast through it (not that it's easy!) Recommended if you want some good quirky arcade style fun (also the first time it has ever gotten a release in Europe ) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted October 12, 2015 Konami Krazy Racers this week Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted October 12, 2015 Oh wow! I always wanted to try that game! I always regretted skipping out on it as a kid, never thought it would ever get a VC release (what with Konami's general stupidity these days) Will cop that one for sure! Huh, pocky and rocky isn't the does game? I assume you meant to say SNES but no. This is Pocky & Rocky 3. The SNES had two Pocky & Rocky games (1 & 2) and this is a GBA exclusive sequel that never originally got an EU release. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted October 12, 2015 Definitely the best Kart game on GBA. Miles better than Super Circuit. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted October 12, 2015 Definitely the best Kart game on GBA. Miles better than Super Circuit. In my eyes, that's some high praise. You better be damn sure about that. Otherwise, you're gonna have me and my angry letters of complaints to answer to. And I'm British, so you know I can write some brutal letters of complaints.

Posted October 12, 2015 Natsume said some time back that Nintendo does not want to release any more SNES games on VC. It seems like it's not true, though, as we just got a SNES game last week. Maybe they still think so, who knows. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
