Watch The Exclusive Trailer For NintendoLand's Balloon Trip Attraction

GI:
While the Wii U launch title Nintendo Land contains attractions centered around more notable franchises like Donkey Kong and Zelda, the latest attraction to be revealed is based on the 1986 NES title Balloon Fight. Largely ignored aside from a sequel on the Game Boy called Balloon Kid, a 3D mini-game in Wario Ware: Smooth Moves, and the game's fantastic music in Super Smash Bros., Nintendo has blown out the neglected game's original Balloon Trip mode into a stand-out game within Nintendo Land. With a graphical style similar to Kirby's Epic Yarn, Balloon Trip Breeze has players swiping the stylus on the GamePad to keep the balloon-strapped Mii aloft and dodging obstacles. While Balloon Trip Breeze is a single-player experience, Nintendo has yet to reveal whether Nintendo Land also contains a Balloon Fight-inspired multiplayer game.

yep, I loved a game that was similar to this on superNES, it had a duel mode which was really fun.

I don't get why it's a wiiU game though, you don't need the TV screen at all.

PopRocks3594277d ago

The music was quite nice and the graphics reminded me of Little Big Planet. Looks fun. Not outstanding, but fun.

This looks like it's going to be a fun game. I wonder how deep each part of Nintendo Land will be. Will there be multiple goals to accomplish (think Wii Sports stamps) within each game? Will there be different difficulties? Etc.

I have my eye on this one.

looks fun. i think each game will use the gamepad to show off what it can do.

If they're not important enough to be held on their own official storefront then they're not important enough to give your money to Nintendo.

Buy these, physically, used or simply emulate them.

This article comes off as nothing more than advertising games that Nintendo, themselves, don't care to offer you... buy now!

Wait hang on where all the outrage? I swear when Sony tried to do this with PS3 last year. There was outrage from all corners of the gaming universe.

Why does no one care Nintendo is doing it?

MadLad823d ago (Edited 823d ago )

There has been.
A lot of it.

Simply type in "3DS" in Google and tell me what you see.

ocelot07823d ago

Oh I have a fair few websites reporting on it. But where is the outcry on here? I remember their was 2-3 approved top voted articles when Sony announced they where closing the PS3 store. All slating them and not caring about customers.

I should of worded it better. Where is all the outrage on n4g?

MadLad823d ago (Edited 823d ago )

N4G is a fanboy site, mainly frequented by only Sony.
Microsoft is their direct competition, so you'll typically only see articles that are made to rile up those fanbases.

Nintendo does it's own thing, so they're rarely brought up, aside from their fans. The most you get is the same typical two or three posters claiming Nintendo is only for infants.

If you come to N4G for educated discourse and reasonable discussion, this isn't the place. Sad as it is.

It's lame that it is shutting down. Now I feel rushed buying all the rpgs I missed out on the system.

You guys know that even archive.org has 3DS roms, and all other console roms. I'm downloading 846GB of 3DS roms and will add the best games to my soon to be soft modded New 3DS 😁. Might as well throw in DS and other emulators in there to. Guys this would be the best way to play and enjoy the 3DS. Just need to buy a bigger micro SD card and format it to FAT32, which you can if it's even 256GB or larger there are ways.

XxINFERNUSxX822d ago

This should help if you want to soft mod it excellent guide and up to the latest and probably last 3DS firmware update: https://www.youtube.com/wat...

Wii U Games We Want to See on Nintendo Switch

The Wii U had a bunch of great games that a lot of people didn't get a chance to play, so here are the Wii U ports gamers would like to see come to Switch.

I just replayed Super Mario 3D world and loved every minute of it. I really like how it looks and it is great fun to play, it surely has to be a strong candidate for a Switch remaster although, personally, I would love a Galaxy 1&2 remaster more than anything else
