TalkBack / Re: The Fall (Wii U) Review

Nice review and appreciate the spoiler help.  I'm in that area and haven't figured it out yet, but glad to not burn up an hour on the herring...


So far I haven't run into any lockups [may not be far enough yet], just a camera oddity twice.  Was in the open area to the right of the baby puzzle.  I did a weird backwards jump and ended up off-screen without the camera following me.  Just walked back to the right and it picked up fine from there.


It's a very enjoyable game that I'm taking my time with as I know it's short.  This is the type of style I wish Machinarium was.  More environmental point/click and less logic puzzles blocking your progress.

Is R-Type still available on Wii VC? Wasn't there something with IREM losing licenses or something?..

After watching Chronturbo i found myself wanting to check out a few of PC engine shmups.

They were removed in 2012, but it seems might be back in NA as of Sept'13. ( here )


Just checked my Wii and R-Type by Hudson is there.

Bonk is definitely near and dear to me as a TG16 owner of the 80s/90's.  I'm sure you know the game selection was rather limited in the US so I've poured a great deal of time into Bonk, beating it countless times.  (over 100 if I was to guess)  It was always the quirky personality, music and characters that kept me coming back. 


I did also pick this up on VC to inject some nostalgia into my gaming years ago and it's as good as I remember.  Funny thing is that I recently got Bonk's Revenge and was initially turned off a bit due to the differences.  You know, it wasn't the real, pure Bonk experience.  Now though I think I may prefer the sequel despite some minor gripes.  After playing revenge for a few hours it makes the original seem primitive.  (no pun intended)


As for 3DS TG16/PCE:  I have no idea on the filter, but I suspect we'll be getting some titles in the west soon.  It's just frustrating that TG16 emulation was mentioned early on or before the launch and it's still not here....
