    In the WiiU versions of the Megaman battle network series, they allowed you to access the event-exclusive content that was once only accessible in the Japanese versions under extremely limited situations. These included but weren't limited too, the secret battle chips like Double Beast in battle network 6, or secret forms like Bass Cross in battle network 5. I really liked this as it showed that Capcom was very willing to pay just that extra bit of attention here in the cases of these games, just a little bit more then what was even needed, and I loved that.

    Always love me a Jon video. EarthBound Beginnings was a huge event, it's a very underappreciated gem even by EarthBound fans. I seriously recommend playing it (after the other 2 games). And the myth of 'grinding' is only true when you start the game and when you get new party members though there are tricks to help grinding

    • @rifasclub
      @rifasclub 3 роки тому

      The thing about Earthbound is that they are better the newer they are (as of now). Quality of life stuff that got added over every entry was a huge deal, regardless of how you feel about every game's plot, mechanics, etc.

      I can see it happen. The reason not to localize Mother 3 is because of how expensive it would be to pay for certain licenses, but if they release it as a physical bundle that sells well, it could be a profitable game.

    I know its been more than 2 months since this came out but i want to add:
    - Some N64 games also have rumble (Tested Star Fox 64 only, it was glorious)
    - In Japan, some games are the Shindou version instead (Mario 64/Waverace i think)
    - Smash for Wii U has GameBoy games running on a VC engine for Wii U that was never released.
    - Some Wii games don't need Wii Mote to be played and instead use the Gamepad, some people say that every game that used the Classic Controller does, but in other parts it is said that only 3 games support this, i remember one being Xenoblade Chronicles, i don't remember the rest but i think that another was Pandora's Tower, i haven't tried this one myself yet.
    - This is obvious, but SNES and NES Classic controllers work on Wii and Wii U VC... wich is very cool.
    Finally, i have to shoutout the DS games, with a minor hack, you can up-scale them to 1080p, looks gorgeous but after playing one game you need to turn off the system or it'll get softlocked while trying to exit.
