I know, I'm complaining about free stuff, but the statues and pin sets were really neat. Now it's just a matter of picking the one thing that isn't normally a purchasable-by-coin item.

I couldn't care less about physical stuff, and I've never played the original Mario Land, so I got that and beat it in one sitting. Activity Log says I played for 36 minutes and I died maybe three times. The physics are pretty bad, but despite that it's fun in an anxious, fast-paced sort of way.

I ended up going with the posters, because that pikmin one looks pretty cool, but I'm also a bit disappointed. I made sure to get platinum because of some of the past years rewards, and having seen this years, I really I feel like the 3DS game case I got with coins from a monthly thing was better than any of the end of year stuff. I also felt a little let down in the games up as monthly things you can purchase with the coins, but really that's just my bitterness over the 3DS not having VC titles for old non-handhelds. I just want super metroid on my 3DS

Mammal Sauce posted:Super Mario Land 2 aged far worse than the original and its platforming physics are all kinds of floaty and horrible. It honestly feels more like Super Mario Men 5 from a 400-in-1 Famiclone cart than an actual Mario game. Good music though. I could not disagree more here. SML2 is a fantastic game with good platforming and some weird, crazy and unique levels and fun secrets - I think it honesty might have aged better than SM3: Wario Land. The original SML isn't terrible, I still load it up every once in a while but it seriously only takes like a half an hour to beat and the physics are really wonky (there doesn't seem to be any inertia at all). It's definitely still worth playing, since the final boss is a giant alien that you kill while flying a bi-plane and the music is rad.

Neo_Crimson posted:Does Kokuga have anything to do with Ikaruga? Is it any good regardless? Kokuga was designed by a guy called Hiroshi Iuchi who worked on Ikaruga and a bunch of other games for Treasure. It's a top-down tank shooter (not to be mistaken for a twin-stick game like Geometry Wars or whatever) with an interesting branching stage system and local co-op via Download Play. I wouldn't call it a hardcore STG exactly but I'm not sure it'd have a lot of casual appeal, either.

I wouldn't say it look like Ikaruga but it definitely looks cool; it's got a neat VR-meets-Xevious look that's well-suited to 3D. The music is by Manabu Namiki who's best known for his Cave sountracks. I do think it's an interesting game but it sits in a weird middle-ground between being a pick-up-and-play game and a "serious" STG, so I wonder who it's gonna appeal to.

I'm sure this has been brought up in this thread before, so I apologize if I missed a bunch of posts a few pages back, but... what in the world is going on in the Project X Zone demo? I downloaded Demo B for whatever that's worth, it throws me onto a SRPG map, it feels like a normal turn based SRPG until I attack, and then it's just button mashing like crazy, hitting Y when my experience percentage is high enough, and hammering L and R when those icons pop up. It's crazy enough, I recognize enough of the characters, and the look is cool enough I think that I'm interested, I just wonder if I'm missing something in the combat... Is there skill involved other than picking when to use your special attacks and stuff?

Mario Land 3 blows it out of the water though since Wario is the best ever. Agree on the music. Super Mario Land 2 had some of the most memorable video game music though in my opinion. To this day these are some of my favorite VG tunes: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6lhbYWbPmkE https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J-eOtcyP9l4 I mean holy poo poo that first one is just top loving notch

Is Camelot doing anything right now? I'm replaying Golden Sun Dark Dawn right now and I know the game's plot is stupid as all hell and the writing is horrible and the characters are just retarded but the gameplay was fun and I'm wondering how the whole thing will end.

The RPG stuff wasn't that amazing other than giving you a reason to practice skills instead of going straight to rounds. Toadstool Tour (GC) was great other than a sometimes wonky camera. I'm really disappointed World Tour slid to 2014. Also, WarioLand > SML2.

Flumpus posted:Is there skill involved other than picking when to use your special attacks and stuff? You deal more damage if you hit them just before the enemy hits the ground. The idea is to start a combo, then combo it so that all the hits land and that you pick them back up just before they touch back onto the ground. It's a matter of timing and understanding how the attacks hit.

My biggest problems with SML2 are aesthetics. Not that poor aesthetics stop me from liking a game (See Deus Ex), but I can't remember a single song from SML2 and the more zoomed in graphics made everything feel slower. Anatharon posted:Is there any long, good Eshop games that aren't available on retail? Going to ask this again.

So it turns out Ghostlight is still pursuing an EU release for Devil Survivor 2:quote:On to other news now. All you Devil Survivor fans out there will be pleased to hear that we have managed to finalise discussions with our partners regarding Devil Survivor 2 on DS and have decided to go ahead with the following plan. Devil Survivor 2 will be released exclusively for pre-order through the Ghostlight Webstore with a (TBC) minimum quantity. Should we achieve this minimum quantity of pre-orders within one month, we will manufacture and release the game. However, if we don’t reach the minimum then everyone who pre-ordered the game will be refunded and the game will unfortunately not be released. We realise that we’re asking for a huge amount of trust and support from our fans on this one, but we know that you are a very special lot and you all seem to fully appreciate what we’re trying to achieve in bringing over JRPGs like DS2. We simply couldn’t do what we’re doing without you and with your continued support for the Ghostlight cause we’re hoping we can give DS2 its best shot at getting a European release. As a little incentive, if you do pre-order the game, as a special thank you we’ll add your name to the manual
