quinntendopower said:the original is one of the best nes games, and best videogames ever, period. the soundtrack is utterly amazing, and the level and overall hub design was ahead of the time.
tough, continue based gameplay and unique car based combat and hello kitty soldier sections complete with badass bosses and a strong desire to rescue your pet frog.
a ridiculous story, great graphics and sound, tough but fair, truly what the nes stood for.
has anyone played the new one?! i have to play this!
Reluctant-Hero said:So can anyone confirm or deny if this supports the classic controller? I'm buying the game regardless, but the wiimote's small d-pad hurts my thumb after long gaming sessions.
I can still feel the pain of playing Punch Out for hours on end last summer...
vireland said:Wiimote only. No Classic Controller support, unfortunately.
Fucking this. Blaster Master's soundtrack is godly.quinntendopower said:the original is one of the best nes games, and best videogames ever, period. the soundtrack is utterly amazing, and the level and overall hub design was ahead of the time.

Yes this is VERY disappointing. Especially since I currently use a VGA adapter on my tv that does not convert 480i signals and I can't find a decent homebrew method to even force 480p for Wiiware games. I thought by 2010 we would be past this, but apparently not.JSnake said:Not only is the game 4:3, it's also 480i from what I can tell (not to mention my TV says it's outputting in 480i).
Forgot to mention those. The fact that it is more Metroid-like is something that confused me at first, because I was used to the more linear nature of the first game, but yeah.JasonMCG said:Good:
Really digging the ability to swap out weapons on the top-down portions, and I like that all three weapon variations are upgradable. And yes, if you get hit, your weapon strength (whichever is selected) gets docked a power level, just like the original.
A lot more Metroidvania-y than the original.
Bad:
If you're used to the first game, you'll notice immediately that the controls aren't as loose as the original. They're a bit slow for my liking, but whatever - you adapt pretty easily.
I hope you don't think I was trying to steal your thunder. You probably posted your impressions while I was writing mine. High five!Why would you do that? said:Forgot to mention those.

Also, I really like your bullet points.

What? Not at all! I didn't think I had any thunder. :lol More impressions are a good thing, anyway.JasonMCG said:I hope you don't think I was trying to steal your thunder. You probably posted your impressions while I was writing mine. High five!
No, there are still different areas, but, unline the first game, where each area is really linear, it's more like Metroid or modern Castlevania... It just isn't as linear feeling, really...AdroitOne said:Oh wait, so there are no levels? You walk walk/drive to new areas like Metroid games? If so, that's awesome!

I just beat the Area 2 boss and I probably put in maybe an hour and a half so far. To beat it and find everything, it's probably going to take around 8-10 hrs.rhfb said:Any clue on how hard / long the game is? Just that map is almost enough for me to insta buy, but I need to know if it is too easy or short before I drop 10$ on it
jman2050 said:It was already kinda sorta like this in the original games. Though the progression was linear, there were definite connection points between levels you had to travel to and backtracking through already completed areas was required.
Easy_D said:Never played the original but hot damn that looks nice. Looks like a classic 16bit game.
AgentOtaku said:Anyone else just a little put of by the art direction? ...I dunno, comes off as a bit cheap and flashgamey
Still hyped though!
CO_Andy said:This game could of seriously benefited from GC/Classic Controller support: holding down the B button to strafe ain't easy.
Having a blast overall.
I think World of Goo was offered for 1000 points once.SuperEnemyCrab said:Also, does Nintendo ever do weekly VC/Wiiware specials or sales like XBL/PSN do sometimes? I can't remember ever hearing of one...
TheUnknownForce said:Before playing the game, I urge you guys to read the Operations Manual. Someone had a fun time with it.
The story is campy all over the place.
SuperEnemyCrab said:Well this thread convinced me, i'll grab it when i get home tonight. So good to hear the music is true to the original.

And SEGA had discounted some of their VC games at some point. So, it's possible, just Nintendo doesn't do it for their own games, and I guess other companies putting their games on there don't care to ask for them either.JasonMCG said:I think World of Goo was offered for 1000 points once.Once.
BooJoh said:Also, I think it's a travesty in this day and age that a game would be released not only in 4:3 only, but people are saying it's 480i? Just because we own a Wii doesn't mean we don't care if our games look good.
BooJoh said:I'm still on the fence. The NES one was too hard for me, mainly with the constantly respawning enemies that are hard to hit, and the fact that I never knew what I was supposed to be doing.

bryehn said:The lack of CC/GC support in this game is baffling and the music gets on my nerves after a while, but I'm so glad this was released. Blaster Master is without a doubt one of my favorites of all time and one of my top 5 8-bit games. If only we could get Sunsoft Batman too :lol
