Donkey Kong Land 3 is now on the Japanese VC

Unfortunately for them it's the rubbish colourised version that makes all the map screens static and garishly coloured.

But yeah, they have the whole GB trilogy now! I'd love to see them on our VC (except for this GBC remake of course)

Denpa Men 3 out this week

Nice little series of RPGs this is turning out to be. I'll be getting it because I like them even though I need to play them more.

Everyone seems to like Child of Light

It's an RPG made by Ubisoft and everyone seems to be glowing with praise for it. Someone even made a video that says "Child of Light Isn't Shite".

It's here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ylzDevF_w8M

Well I dunno but it's the hot new RPG of the moment. Maybe we'll see an emerging sub-genre called FRPG!

That there Courier game sounds interesting

http://www.couriergame.com/

I like the concept behind this. The main character seems like he could be a supporting Zelda character, like the postman featured in Majora's Mask and Twilight Princess among others. In Twilight Princess for example you see him running toward you in the big dangerous Hyrule Field and for a moment you wonder what his adventures are like.

Here's this game then where you play as a courier.

I haven't really explored HTML5 with regards to playing games and stuff like this is making me curious as to what's out there and what can be done with Nintendo's Web Framework thingy.

It's Kirby Triple Deluxe month!

Horray! This isn't out here for another couple of weeks or so but they have it over in the U.S. now and they're enjoying it. Can't wait.

Hope the Puzzle Swap thingy comes soon too. I've just finished the Yoshi's New Island jigsaw.

Patent for Nintendo portable thingy with swappable d-pad and buttons!

Wowee look at this from GoNintendo:

http://www.gonintendo.com/s/227397-nintendo-files-portable-game-system-patent-featuring-swappable-d-circlepad-and-buttons

The subject of that kind of thing came up before but here we see it with all four of the d-pad/left analogue/buttons/right analogue components being 100% interchangeable!

It sounds like a crazy cool idea though I can picture those bits and pieces going missing by people who won't take care of their stuff before moving it on to a second-hand shop.

But wait... depending on what those things are like, maybe they could be 3D printed! That's just my imagination going a bit wild but... how futuristic would that be!
