I have to save froggy!
Really want but gonna save it for when I get a Switch. I know it's coming to 3DS but I want to play it on my TV and Switch needs games I like before Arms and Splatoon 2.
But it looks sooo good!

I loved the original Blaster Master so much. Any word if this might appear on Wii U?
Never completed the first one, made out to level 8 pretty consistently, just couldn't deal the deal. Do I need to know how the story ends to enjoy this game?
Did the kid ever get his frog back, or did I kill him in one of the levels?
Looking forward to this, hope it is better then Blasting Again, as that was not a very good game, no matter how much my friend and I forced ourselves to play it and try to enjoy it.

Oh, cool. The banner threw me off.
Edit: Oh, the banner's added it now. Nice.
This is a complete reimagining of the first game so I wouldn't worry about it.

This looks neat. I just watched a video of some gameplay and it was so weird to see the game without all the classic NES screen glitching of the original. I'd get this if I get a switch.
Wait what?! This is a thing that switch games are capable of not supporting?!?

Snipperclips doesn't either. Learned the hard way when I wanted to do three player. :/ I don't really get why devs are doing that at all.

Can't wait. This is the kind of game that I hope a place like Limited Run Games can get a physical copy out of as well.
Who knows? Someone bitched at Inti the other day about it and they responded by confirming a fix is on the way and that they were aiming for tomorrow. Guess that's out
Damn, between this and Snipperclips, this suggests a lapse in Nintendo's dev tools. If indies can miss out Pro Controller support when shipping a game, that's no good. Hope someone escalates it quick and it gets addressed. There is zero reason why anything that uses traditional controls should not support the Pro Controller.

Anyone know what time the eShop updates?

This game is REALLY good. It scratches that Super Metroid itch really well while also vastly improving on the top down sections from the original, turning them into some of my favourite parts of the game. There's also some really nice pixel art in there, especially for some of the larger bosses
It's fantastic and I hope Inti continues with this series and continues to move it forward

They couldn't buy one when they were put on preorder. /s
Might have to wait a few weeks before I get this because of my backlog but I really am pumped for this.
Aren't mandates like 'must support pro controllers!' the kind of thing that scares off 3rd party support, though? I get that this sounds ridiculous, but when a dev says, "[Nintendo treats] us like celebrities!" or whatever that recent quote was, what I imagine is a relationship wherein the dev can do and has the tools to do whatever they want, so long as they pass certification.
I swear I heard a lot of similar complaints around the early years of the Wii. Not as if to say that this is any reason for Inti not to bother with pro controller support when in this case I imagine it's not exceedingly difficult to accomplish, but I think Nintendo might be steering clear of any hard lines like mandating specific controller support.
Also, didn't a first party studio co-develop Snipperclips in some capacity? Surely they'd have a lock on the dev tools if anyone would. That case seems like a (silly) conscious decision whereas this reads like an oversight.

Yeah, it is pretty easy, but I don't think it's to the game's detriment tbh. It's still incredibly fun, and the way checkpoints work (especially in the top down sections) there is still a slight bit of challenge doesn't make death totally inconsequential

I paid good money for this Dynex!
I really, really want this to be good. The trailer makes it look rad.
VOEZ is only playable with the touchscreen, so I think it's possible to choose what controllers do and don't work.
Dunno what happened here though.

Definitely buying this. Looks great and the soundtrack should be awesome.

It's good! One of the better soundtracks I've heard recently, especially for a throw back game. I've been playing this and Shovel Knight at the same time and it's like being spoiled with good af music

I think this was a late port from 3DS, so just didn't get added.

Will be picking this up when they patch in the pro controller support.

Can't wait to get this (^____^)
What? I don't understand.
Yeah, I mean, this isn't a Wii U situation where the Pro controller is missing several major features of the default controller. There is no functional difference between the Pro controller and the joycons in the grip, so it's mind-boggling support isn't automatic.
