I am not surprised at this game being crap, but I think when a developer self-publishes it's own game (Renegade Kid, Wayforward) the results are usually better. Usually. :V
Ok, first, why are you getting so bent out of shape of a freebie not being a true "version" of the Donkey Kong game? I know people are so high strung about collector value this and that, but let's get real here: the game has not aged well at all, even the arcade version itself. Also, I really don't want the original arcade aspect crumpled down on the 3DS screen, that would look awful.
Also, while you want a collector's set with all the games you listed on them, who else would really give a damn? Alot of people have fond memories of the Nintendo console games (like Super Mario Bros. 1) because they ARE GOOD GAMES, great games. Those arcade games, while can be fun at moments, are not overly great and have been trampled upon by their console successors. People remember the NES Punch Out more then the arcade version, hell even the SNES version is more well known and that one is considered inferior to most people!
If I wanted an arcade collection of old games from the early 80s, I would highly prefer Namco, Capcom, Konami and Taito's arcade games over Nintendo's pre-Famicom era games. Those games AGED WELL. The arcade games from Nintendo have not, historical value or not.
Also, NintendoLand has a attraction from a obscure Famicom Disk Game. Wario Ware has tons of references to Nintendo produces from the 70s. If this company is so intent on ignoring their own legacy, why do these references continue to pop up in their games from time to time?
So Silicon are you going to make Enternal Darkness n--
Oh.
Nngh my life...!!
I don't know about that Nick, Namco X Capcom didn't make it out here at all (though in hindsight it didn't do all too well in Japan originally).
Also, DARKSTALKERS!! <3
I can personally see the PS Vita start to get somewhere in Japan once a Monster Hunter gets made for it. But the problem is this: is you already own a PS3, you don't need a Vita because the PS3 already does the same things. Not to mention the fact there are bound to be PS3 ports...
That was how they were in the Yamauchi days. Under Iwata, Nintendo has been coming out of their shell, but they have proven (and admitted) that they don't know how to do some things.
This service is not being run by Nintendo themselves. Whoever their partner is, they are helping them out a lot.
Its Valve, it has to be.
All I can say is that I take pride knowing our work will never stoop to the level of IGN/(*whatever media site), because we don't have our heads shoved up our asses.
You should pick it up. ;)
Um, WHAT? Unlike MOST gaming media sites we don't slather our writings with shit like that.
If you are the same anonymous user that crapped on our Operation Rainfall roundtable piece, do us a favor and spare us your "JRPGS ARE BEING CRAPPED ON!" shit. God.
