GenGAME writes: "Typically, gaming wishlists for upcoming years will involve new games on the horizon, but in the case of Nintendo, there’s a massive back catalog of games that’s just waiting to be made available via the company’s Virtual Console service. NES, SNES, and N64 have all had great runs on Wii – and those libraries are still alive and kicking on Wii U, playable via Wii Mode – but the 3DS’s handheld Virtual Console service is just getting started and still has a lot of holes to fill."
NE: "EarthBound fans got lots of news in 2024, but a Mother 3 localization wasn't part of it. We talk whether it's possible with pros and cons."
Pro: More people getting to experience a game they weren't able to before.
Con: Hearing either Lucas or Ness yell "PK fire" ever again.
IGN writes: Mother 3 is one of the most hotly-desired RPGs ever, having never received an official translation in North America despite the cult popularity of its predecessor, Earthbound. But over all these years, series creator Shigesato Itoi has never weighed in on the discussion - at least until now."
The long-awaited documentary, which highlights the online community that's built around cult SNES RPG EarthBound over the years. It's an examination of the power of online communities and fandom, and the impact that Shigesato Itoi's series has had on its fans.
i must have wind waker!
sidescrolling games make a killing on wii-U
CONTRA,GRADIUS,R-TYPE,ENHANDE R,RAYSTORM,G-DARIUS.
Those are the MOST WANTED games.
I think that it is complete bullshit that I cannot play virtual console games on my Gamepad or with my Pro controller. Also it would be nice to have some kind of smoothing filters for these old games, free emulators do it why can't Nintendo?!
Wind Waker, DK64, Earthbound..........YES....... ....PLEASE!!!!!!!!!!!
