Not a fair review, I have the feeling the reviewer didn’t play it much. No item requires more than one player to unlock. If you are talking about the switches inside he caves all you need is a certain pet to press them for you, not a second player. That pet is in world one, pretty easy to find, it’s shown right on the map.
The graphics are better and better as you go, world 4 with the volcanos looks amazing! This game is easily a 9 out of 10 (at least).
Sorry that a lot of people will pass up an amazing game because of mediocre scores.
@rjejr dont be too happy, thats wrong. Ive been playing it on Wii U and you will not be able to do everything unless you have vehicles of each element.
The D pad and the left analog should be swapped. The D pad is not raised high enough. The A/B Buttons and the Turbo buttons should be swapped. 3 major flaws... no thanks
@Quorthon Show me one quote where Nintendo says they consider the Gamecube a failure. Sounds like you are the one inventing things.
Who cares if the Gamecube only had 8% of the market, profits do not revolve completely around market share, it's more complex than that. Selling 22 million pieces of any product and MAKING MONEY on each unit is a success. Thanks for reminding me why I stay away from message boards...
@Quorthon
Nintendo doesn't consider the Gamecube a failure, it was the only console that generation that made a profit and it was a huge profit. Microsoft lost over 4 billion on Xbox and Sony lost as well. Gamecube was a huge financial success. Do some research and quit assuming that just because Gamecube sold less consoles that Nintendo lost money, Nintendo made a ton.
The Gamecube forced Nintendo to take desperation actions with the Wii? it's called innovation... and it didn't take long for others to try to copy them.
What has the world come to when people question whether or not a company should give up because they have only sold 9.1 million of their product to date (Wii U)? there are plenty of companies out there who would love to reach even a million buyers...
I don't want to see Nintendo bringing new games to other consoles but offering a virtual console service for tablets would be a smart idea. There is no harm in bringing NES, SNES and Gameboy to tablets, it's kind of dumb not to. They could even release a bluetooth controller for the app.
@SCAR392 Perfectly said! and I'm sure they aren't giving out this code so you can give it to friends because it would be useless without the new portal.
I'd rather have a Wii as is vs an underpowered system trying to produce HD with horrible framerates. (sort of like the underpowered N64 doing 3D graphics, most games have poor framerates or just look really bad).
If they would have made system powerful enough to go HD it would have almost doubled the price and the Wii would not have been as successful.
@ps2fan I have the SNES cartridge also... I'm wondering if they applied a graphic filter to the Wii U version, sometimes I prefer the cartridge versions over that...
@Hetsumani Aaaarrrgghhh! Don't spoil it all for me!
But seriously... the lights and sounds coming from my Screen change quite often, not so much for the same rumble rumble... shoot a gun... rumble... crash car... rumble... pick nose... rumble...
@Marioman64 To me, the rumble feels too fake, it feels more like a motor spinning around inside the controller than anything realistic related to what is happening in the game.
I couldn't care less if he owns a Wii U but it would probably take a Nintendo Direct to make me realize the appeal of Wonderful 101 because everything I have seen previously hasn't excited me any... it just looks like a busy mess.
Nintendo doing a free to play IAP game is a very sad thing (Steel Diver), the last true major game company in the world is sinking to those levels... I supposed a submarine game is a proper game for it.
@defrb You are right, it's going to take something huge to help the Wii U, people need to be blown away by something... remember how it was when we first saw Mario 64?
I want to believe they are on the verge of announcing something huge like a Wii U 3DS/DS player. If not, most of their other efforts to revive the Wii U lead me to believe they are clueless.
There was mention last Thursday of being able to save levels in it... "which includes the option to save your creations on the VC "... is this a new feature or does that just refer to the save states that all VC has?

I never use Switch as a portable... why can't they make it work with USB drives for those of us that can use them?

You don't appreciate Tank Force... that's the main reason I want Namco Museum, Battle City was great!

Here is what I read...
"It appears that the game can be played in single-player (a first for the game) "

Re: The Starforce Pi Is An Arcade You Can Fit In Your Rucksack
Interesting but the basic uses a Raspberry Pi 1? why bother? a Pi 2 is only $10 more.
It doesn't resemble an arcade cabinet to me... goofy looking, like something from an old sci-fi movie.

Re: This Controller Wants to Bring the 'Next Gen' to NES
The D pad and the left analog should be swapped.
The D pad is not raised high enough.
The A/B Buttons and the Turbo buttons should be swapped.
3 major flaws... no thanks
Re: Review: The Binding of Isaac: Rebirth (Wii U eShop)
@Arlo - same here and the review seems kind of lacking. I wanted a fun adventure, not a frustrating, one life, difficult game. Not my idea of fun...
Re: Review: The Binding of Isaac: Rebirth (Wii U eShop)
So is this just a ramdomly created dungeon that you just play until you die? or is this a full fledged game?

Ok... what about other releases? did Shantae come out on 3DS today?
Re: Earthbound Arrives on the Wii U Virtual Console Today
Yep, it's on todays Nintendo Direct, wow, Nintendo Life missed this one....

Wow, there was a Nintendo Direct this morning, maybe they announced it there.

Re: DuckTales: Remastered To Hit the Wii U eShop in Mid-August
Nah... I looked it up, the retail version is just for PS3 and is a box with a download code in it... what's the point.
I can see why they chose PS3 for this exclusive though, considering Playstation is where it all started at (sarcasm).
Re: DuckTales: Remastered To Hit the Wii U eShop in Mid-August
@Dreamcaster-X Retail version??
Re: Feature: Taking A Look Back At The Nintendo 64 Rumble Pak
I never understood the whole rumble appeal and never liked using it, I always turned that off in my Wii games as well.
