Why the fuck doesn't the Wii U eshop release Gamecube games?! I'd pay again to play again Paper Mario: The Thousand Year Door.

Same reason why 3DS eShop does not have SNES and GBA games. Which is...damn! I don't know whats the reason

Does someone know how to get into the Bios of the old Nintendo DS Bios for PikoChat?

[OCG]

This video can help:

Check download link in description. I suppose it would work with emulator too.

[Snagglebee]

Wow thanks! I actually want it for my 3DS so I wonder if it will work also.

Have they even bothered releasing SNES games at this point? I haven't checked in a good while but all I saw was a short list of NES titles.

If SNES worked like NES does, then no thanks. I'd really like to see more GBA though, but as of now the Ambassador games still give me enough for a while.

I'm pretty sure there are SNES games on Wii U, I heard about Super Metroid going on it a while back.

[OCG]

There is Earthbound on Wii U if I remember correctly. Rayfist mentioned it.

[sergiomonty]

There are only NES and SNES game. Nintendo still thinks that when they finally release the N64 games, it's gonna be a true achievement. Right.

There is Earthbound on Wii U if I remember correctly. Rayfist mentioned it.

We're lucky we even fucking got it, especially since the chances of Earthbound coming to VC was very low, very happy with that.

Also everyone should support this: http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/123 ... genie-hero

good kickstarters lately.

Platformers are rising my friend. I have a feeling that we are finally starting to slowly get away from the dark era of gaming, and once WE WILL return to the all mighty glory of Platformers. Sure, these kickstarter projects are just a small start, but in 30 years or so, I believe huge changes will be done to gaming, and those changes will be someting that all of us will remember.

Sounding a tad bit fanatical there, OCG.
While it's wonderful that platformers are making a resurgence, variety is the spice of life, each genre of gaming has its own crown jewels that deserve to be looked upon, I don't think one genre should ever reign supreme.

Platformers are rising my friend.

To me, it looks more lile a simple exploration, more and more games are startig to combine elements from different genres.

Wtf? What 'dark era'? You realise there were just as many, if not more shitty platformers being made when they were the big thing, compared to today with shooters? You treat platformers as if that's where games where at their best, when obviously, the only reason you believe this to be so is because you grew up in platforming prime-time. Personally, I would hate to see the world move back in time and reside upon stale ground where it once was. You know what I would like to see? A genre balance; ever since video games have evolved from simple board games to actual action series', there's always been a major genre bias. In the late 80s and 90s, sidescrolling platformers reigned supreme. In the later 90s and early 2000s, 3D platformers took over due to advancement in technology. From the early 2000s to now, shooters have been a thing due to our increased ability to achieve remotely realistic graphics. (and thus more realistic games spawned). From the later 2000s to now as well, the open-world sandbox game has become one of the dominant genres because of our increased graphical and processing abilities, now enabling us to make games that almost look like and simulate a real-life experience. Excitement over technological advancement is what it is that determines the extreme, almost sole fads of the gaming world at the moment.

Sure, these kickstarter projects are just a small start, but in 30 years or so, I believe huge changes will be done to gaming, and those changes will be someting that all of us will remember.

Far less than that. Unless something really weird happens (like people of your kind 'boycotting' realistic games to return to just platformers, damaging tech advancement), we will quite easily achieve photorealism within the next ten years, and once we'd hit a nice pique at which point the ability to match the things we see with or own eyes, I feel that gaming genres will become less to do with "what's popular", and more to do with whatever the developer feels like creating. Essentially, much more variance among our genres; though, I have a strong feeling that that isn't what you were referring to when you said "changes".


Your ability at forethought and the simplest kind of reasoning is astounding when your nearly hard-coded fanboy mindset takes precedence.

[Rayfist]

Bit harsh towards OCG I think. While I don't fully agree with him, I guess I understood what he was saying, platformers get not much attention these days when they should, it's mostly shooters and such, though I don't mind a balance in genres, long as we don't get bland shooters like Call of Duty crapped out every year, I think I don't have much of a problem. However I still want platformers to stay well alive, as they are my favorite genre.

[Master]

Hm, maybe so, but he was being melodramatic about it.

[Rayfist]

Yes he was, but I could see what he was saying, however I can't fully agree, I do think platformers aren't given much of a chance these days, such as Ducktales Remastered, I wouldn't call this a 'dark era', however I would be more than happy if platformers were given more attention, because as it seems not many people care as much. I do think OCG can tend to be a bit 'stuck in the past at times', and while I'm cool with that, you do need to gain another perspective of one, one who still likes what you like but y'know...

[Adsolution]

Bit harsh towards OCG I think.

Not at all. He was warned a couple months ago about his fanboyism, and here, it just shone through in its full-fledged 'glory' once again. He almost sounded like iambored in that post.

I guess I understood what he was saying

There was nothing whatsoever to be lost in translation, and no room for misinterpretation. He stated outright that he believes that platformers are the pinnacle, the Mecca of the gaming world. If he didn't mean that, then perhaps his phrasing shouldn't be so poorly thought-out, outwardly deliberate and literal, especially when making a post about something he's been warned about before.

[Rayfist]

Well excuse me, I have not seen the whole 'fanboyism' posts in a while, so I apoligise.

Putting OCG aside and his loving for platformers, I still stick to my statement that I do feel platformers aren't giving a whole lot of attention these days and I do wish they were given a bit more attention, not to the point of fanboyism, but imagine with todays technology, the amount of potential few platformers could have? I think some still have yet to show, and it looks like Mighty No. 9 may prove that.

[Master]

I'll agree to that, platformers could do with some more attention, and I do hope Mighty No. 9 does well, though I hope it does retain its own sense of individuality as well, it's nice being a Mega Man spiritual successor, but I'd hope it takes the successor part to heart, and not being a clone.
