@DancingMatt: “WiiU should have been the end-all, be-all Nintendo system with everything from their history available. One system with everything on it (shit, why not Game Boy games too).”

YES. YES. YES EXACTLY.

WiiU should have been the end-all, be-all Nintendo system with everything from their history available. One system with everything on it (shit, why not Game Boy games too). It would have a much better place in video gaming history. I think the NX won’t have something called “Virtual Console,” just some of the basic classics on eShop.

I love the save states, which is why I lament Nintendo’s neglect!

I’m surprised that Iwata actually addressed that there is a concern over Virtual Console release pacing. It’s just too bad that for a company who’s fans are willing to pay too much to buy the same thing again and again, they won’t put the modest effort to get that right.

There is a real point to having the WiiU version of a virtual console game, as opposed to the Wii one; which is the addition of save states. Especially for some difficult older games (thinking of you, Startropics), it’s worth paying a couple extra bucks. And let’s not forget the pathetic fart that was Wii and N64 virtual console games…

Loving the addition of anime to the weekly news.

I watched Ranpo Kitan earlier today and have a whole bunch of things I want to say about it–but not yet!

It’s worth watching: only one episode is up now (it came out 3 July), so I’ll be commenting more in TSM 332 after I’ve watched two episodes.

Also: You do NOT need a paid account to watch Ranpo Kitan. A free account is fine.
