Ya its definitely been one of my favorite games in the past few years but nothing has me more excited than Zodiac Age.

Totally worth it just for Startropics.

top of the list of things i didn’t expect from Nintendo.

When Nintendo announces a new IP that is not a small eshop title. It kind of feels like “what? Really?”

Makes sense. Both games involved American boys that use baseball bats, yo-yos, and psychic powers to fight aliens.

maybe this is a test run, a la Mother, to guage interest? Or, God hoping, a nostalgia push to get more interest for that alleged Retro game in the series?

Can I have your press center password so I can view the link? :P

Millennials.

I still think it’s the greatest most perfect Super Mario Bros game ever made.

Said for a long time they needed to focus on heavy a steady stream of 1st party support. Not sure that going with small dev teams working on a bunch of small games (theoretically) achieves that but who knows, maybe they’ll aim bigger.

Dylan Cuthbert said there was indeed a more complete version (evidently they got as far as actually FINISHING the game and putting it through QA before it got the axe).

The first thing I thought was, "Where's the ROM for this?"

If what Cuthbert says is indeed true, then Nintendo should release it for Virtual Console. They did it for Mother 1 and 2, and pretty likely will do it for Mother 3 (which was never officially released in english), and they also released Sin and Punishment on the Wii’s Virtual Console, despite the fact that that game…

It’s worth noting that prototype copies of Star Fox 2 did eventually get leaked, and fans patched it up to remove debug code, fix bugs, and translate it. It’s a playable game, and you can get a reproduction SNES cartridge to play the game on real hardware.

Still think Nintendo should release it on VC. They didn’t release it back then because it couldn’t compete with the technology coming up, but right now it would be a wonderful retro game

Honestly, I PREFER when he’s not playable. If I had the option of Diddy & Dixie in Tropical Freeze that would have been my team 100% of the time. I don’t know why, but while I love the games, DK himself I do not. :P

Tree Levels in 3 the opposite

Now, I’m not going to deny how awesome A Link to the Past is, but considering DKC2 below Super Metroid? I’m sorry, but DKC2 is a picture perfect 2D platformer. It’s easily better than Super Metroid.

He’s just being true to the source material.
