Who actually believed this for more than 1 minute? (Well I did at first, but then I looked at the date and I was :(, a LOT of friends of mine have called me from everywhere telling me that finally Nintendo is incorporating DLC into their games haha.

I thought every one thought this was false seeing as Nintendo said when asked if there would be downloadable content for the game. Nintendo would say no. But this was though one April Fools Day joke I wish was real.

I thought it was a pretty good April Fool's joke. It would've been more believable if a hard drive for the Wii was part of the announcement.

April Fool's jokes always suck. I think the developers should really read all the jokes and try to do accordingly - most of them are great ideas, just like the Wii DLC here...

There should have been at least one Mick Gordon Killer Instinct theme on here.

Rebel_Scum680d ago

Should be some tunes from the first Mortal Kombat in any list tbh.

I really like the use of Mozart’s Dies Irae in Wolfgang Krausers stage in Fatal Fury 2.

Volcanic rim for Street Fighter 4 is probably my favorite stage theme

Having to do a thing three times would make my list as #1

Jeriphro865d ago

What do you mean? Like doing the same task three times in a row?

BrainSyphoned865d ago (Edited 865d ago )

Ya, find three items, kill three mini bosses, go to three dungeons. Things of three is a tired video game sweet spot number.

For me, it's collect-a-thons. They weren't fun in Donkey Kong or Banjo and Kazooie and they still aren't fun now. Why create these wonderfully oversized, detailed worlds if you are going to just supplement gameplay with ambiguous item fetch-quests.

There are exceptions, of course, But by and large, it just shows laziness on the part of the developer.
Good article, by the way!

Jeriphro865d ago

Yeah. It is funny some of the design decisions made by developers. Another one that irks me is unskippable cutscenes, especially after you die after the cutscene and are forced to rewatch the unskippable cutscene AGAIN. I mean, who thinks that a great idea?! haha

jambola865d ago

how about not allowing cutscene skipping
that's flat out inexcusable in any game in the last 10 years
