That seems like a grevious error with the framerate.

The Online Multiplayer, no concern to me. But I imagine they'll patch it in later.

I feel that if they decide to keep going with the franchise reboot, they could potentially do something good without having to be in the shadow of the original. I mean, Robocop 2 isn't exactly a masterpiece like the first one, despite still being good, so it isn't nearly as fondly remembered, and 3... Well there was no 3 as far as I'm concerned.

I think you have a better opinion of Robocop 2 than most people do.

And in the case of 3, I like to classify that under comedy or parody. It was [tornado fang]ing goofy and I loved it.

Megaman and Bass was a GBA game.

Which was a port of an SFC game.

And wouldn't you know it, its a shitty port thanks to the gimped controls.

They made some songs a little better, but most still suck and the one or two that were good in the SFC version were made terrible.

Point I'm trying to get across is that GBA games are going to sound TERRIBLE if they strive for accuracy to the real hardware. Worse yet for the SNES ports.

GBA's sound sounds about half to 3/4 SNES's quality. Sony isn't a slouch when it comes to sound. It's not "the best", but it's far from the worst.

Yeah, the raw sound is great. But the GBA Soundchip [tornado fang]ing butchers it and makes everything so damn fuzzy sounding.

Compare:

to its GBA counterpart:

Other than some of the samples being different, the stuff that's the same sounds just terrible.

Eh, disagree, the sound difference bothers me there a lot more than it does in Yoshi's Island.  That and the GBA Yoshi's Island actually has more levels to it.  SMA2 is nice for the fact that it fixed Luigi's sprite and offered him as an alternate in single-player, but it did so at the expense of 2-player (which SMA4 preserved somewhat), and it made no other significant changes other than throwing colored Yoshis into regular stages (pointless since this is before Nintendo forgot how to let you keep Yoshi between levels).

Really? I always thought the sound was so basic in SMW that the sound quality decrease from the GBA's awful soundchip wasn't a big deal at all. In Yoshi's Island songs like the final boss battle don't sound as cool. And I also dislike how the colors are all lightened up. Also I [tornado fang]ing hate that goddamn Yoshi's Story voice they jammed in (Though the addition of voices is something I didn't like in ANY of the Mario Advance Titles, if mostly because they sounded terrible.)

SMW had that issue too but since I don't bother with 2-player anyway it was nice to have Luigi playable as a not-palette swap of Mario.

That, and getting hit didn't force you down to Small Mario like it does in SNES World.

GBA Yoshi's Island's extra stages aren't really good anyway.

Who knows, maybe they'll be smart and make the games sound better, but knowing their insistence on being exactly like the original I doubt it.

So Japan is getting two Mario Worlds?  Huh.

I don't know why Nintendo keeps pushing Metroid Fusion but not Zero Mission.  It's like their own version of what's going on with Konami and Contra/Super C.

Yeah, they might be trying to get double dippers. But SMA2 is the better version of Mario World.

Maybe they'll be nice and let people get discounts for games they already have on the 3DS. But knowing Nintendo I doubt it.

But yeah, perhaps we'll see Zero Mission at a later date, they probably like putting Fusion out because Zero Mission is a remake and they have a serious hard-on for getting people to buy originals (probably why Mario Bros or original NES games get re-released all the time yet compilations like All-Stars or that collection of Ninja Gaiden games that came out on the SNES never get released.) Why Konami doesn't release Contra is a mystery though.

You know, I really love when a single-player game tries to act like a Multiplayer game in the whole "You can't pause" sense.

Because you know, when I'm playing a boss rush, I really want start to bring up an option to End game and not stop what's going on.

Thanks Dracula X Chronicles, for causing like three [tornado fang]ing deaths because you don't pause because the Boss Rush has a Multiplayer function for some unknown [tornado fang]ing reason and the single player mode of it has the same rules.

Oh yeah, you know how we are getting 3 GBA games to start?

Japan's getting like 10.

Metroid Fusion
Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga
WarioWare
Wario Land 4
Golden Sun
F-Zero
Super Mario World (Advance 2)
Advance Wars
Legend of Zelda: Minish Cap
Mario Tennis

Compared to just Metroid, M&L and Yoshi's Island.

I guess we're getting Yoshi's Island instead of like Mario World but still why only three [tornado fang]ing games. Give us ten too.

Game Boy Advance Games: Portable classics will start making their way to the Wii U Virtual Console in April, starting with fan favorites such as Metroid Fusion, Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga and Yoshi’s Island: Super Mario Advance 3. Additional games will follow every month.

Yeahhhh... I'm not going to believe that until they prove themselves.

Bayonetta 2 looks fun.

But they need to get the first game re-released on the Wii U or something because [tornado fang] if I'm playing a gimped [tornado fang]ing port.

Also no date. Thanks Nintendo.

NES Remix Vol. 2!

Starring Metroid, Zelda 2, Both Mario 2's and Mario 3, Kid Icarus, and Kirby's Adventure.

Oh and some other games too. Also Super Mario Bros. Mirrored as Super Luigi Bros. Yay for more Year of Luigi, April 25th for that.

GBA VC is beginning... in Spring. Guess they're doing the cheapass way with Yoshi's Island by just cheaping out and doing the GBA version. Hope the music sounds better at least.

Bikes are back in MK8. Also it looks pretty.
Koopa Kids are playables it seems. All 7 of them. If that's not roster padding I don't know what is but hey what do I care.

X is basically confirmed as Xenoblade 2 going by the style of the fighting with the bar on the bottom. Can't tell if its still auto-attack though.

Nintendo Direct is on.

Kirby Triple Deluxe comes on May 2nd.

Yoshi's New Island is being shown as well, looks better than first impressions and has some new stuff as well. March 14th, so pretty soon.

Its now completely [tornado fang]ing unwatchable because they keep [tornado fang]ing buffering.

Some Mario Golf stuff shown off, I'm curious if the Castle Club mode is like an RPG style thing or if its not. Its already not as good as the GBC game because of no original characters instead relying on Miis, but its also May 2nd.

Steel Diver is getting a Free-To-Play version as it was rumored long ago. Still doesn't look very fun. Its out today.

Some Baseball game thing with lots of DLC stuff, the DLC can have its price lowered through the game by haggling. I think this was something rumored too, coming in April.

Another Pokemon Trozei. This was popular enough for a sequel? Oh what am I kidding its [tornado fang]ing pokemon. March 20th.

Holy [tornado fang] they're bringing Inazuma Eleven to the US after so [tornado fang]ing long, amazing. Out today as well, I take it Digital-Only.

So the Bluetooth adapter I have is incompatible with Wiimotes.

So I installed a Toshiba Bluetooth thing to get it to work.

Now its saying "The Evaluation period has expired and you need to buy a license."

There is no option to buy a license, and the Toshiba help page just wants me to install software from the company the Bluetooth dongle came from (Its a Rocketfish, so that would be Best Buy.) But they don't have software/software that works.

Time to [tornado fang] around in regedit to give myself a license.
