MassRayPer posted:I got a 3DS a few days ago and I feel like I've lost my mind. The eshop is a pain in the rear end to navigate, but despite that I feel like I found F-Zero Maximum Velocity two nights ago. I was going to buy it but decided to wait until I played some original GB games. You didn't, because Maximum Velocity was one of the GBA Ambassador games that isn't available on the shop. No idea what the hell you saw, but that wasn't it.

bartok posted:Is Unchained Blades or Crimson Shroud any good? I am looking for a good JRPG I don't know anything about Unchained Blades but I read that Crimson Shroud uses a dice roll mechanic that sounds interesting. Unchained Blades is a dungeon crawler with a healthy amount of plot, but will require you to grind like a motherfucker at times. Unless you absolutely have to have one now, you're better off waiting for Etrian Odyssey 4 at the end of February. Crimson Shroud, on the other hand, is pretty unique. It's basically literally a D+D campaign, and takes ~8 hours to finish. It's one of those things where you're getting exactly what the premise sounds like, so if it sounds cool, go for it. It helps that it's only 8 bucks too.

Color Printer posted:Boy I wish there was something for me to buy on the 3DS shop with $1.39. I hate it when this poo poo happens. Somehow it feels like a lot even though it's so little. You know you can just add exactly how much you need to buy something, right?

oblomov posted:I have EO4 and that's a great game, but most reviews for UC complained of extremely excessive grinding due to necessasity to relevel different parties in pretty much same dungeon. Plus apparently enemy variety is somewhat lacking. I might give it a shot on Vita since its going for $15 there, I guess. Yeah, they're full of poo poo. I'm in Chapter 4, and the only two instances of repeating dungeons so far is one very brief part of Chapter 2 (where they try to go where your party went in Chapter 1, but they don't have the key to continue) and Chapter 3, which does put you in the same dungeon as Chapter 4, but it's in a completely different (and much smaller) area, and you get through it really quickly. By far the worst part of the game is the Follower Battles, but you can avoid excess grinding for those as long as you're diligent in keeping your monster selection current.

Astro7x posted:Yup... well the demo was on the PS3 store so I'll just play that. Demos are always with the game itself. There's a button on the store page to download the demo. So if you want the demo for Runner 2, just go to Runner 2's store page and (I think) scroll down to the bottom.

Mario Tennis and Super Punch Out speak for themselves, but Starship Defense is a fantastic tower defense-esque DSiWare game. If you have any interest in the genre at all, it's absolutely worth giving a shot, especially since it's basically free right now.

DarkHamsterlord posted:Does anyone else have trouble switching from left to right on the Gamepad's d-pad without hitting up or down in the process? It's making Super Metroid all but unplayable for me, because I can't pull off walljumps consistently, and I've completely forgotten how to even play without doing silly jumps and breaking sequence. I had that issue at first, and brace yourself for some heresy, but I found using the stick to actually work pretty well. It's not quite as precise, but it stopped loving up my wall jumping, so it's worth a shot at least. Haven't tried it with Shinesparking yet, though.

So just a heads up, Swords and Soldiers 3D is only $7.99, not $9.99. Also, Bowling Bananza is $5.99 for the sake of completeness. E: Also, it's only Future Past #2 this week. Artix fucked around with this message at 17:20 on May 16, 2013 |

You know what, for as bad as the VC launch was, if they keep up this thing where they do a themed week with a deal and then a standalone release or two between them (sometimes with their own deal, a la SMB2), I think the Wii U VC is going to be alright.

Ages is more focused on puzzles like a "modern" Zelda game, and Seasons is more focused on combat with incidental puzzles like Zelda, LttP, etc. Ages also has some really stupid mandatory minigames though.

Crimson Shroud is pretty good if you're okay with a D+D-esque game and Denpa Men 2 is supposedly pretty good? Other than that, it's pretty slim pickings when it comes to RPGs right now.

Katana Gomai posted:I can't believe they haven't released anything for E3 (yet), like a surprise Pikmin 3/Mario&Luigi 4 demo. It's such an easy thing to do and build some hype. That whole Best Buy demo scheme is just absurd, release them on the e-shop and give people a reason to dust off their consoles for once. Also, not everyone lives in the USA! The point of the Best Buy displays is not to sell consoles to people who already have them.

They're specifically talking about Buebeam Trap, but yeah, the final boss is also one of the ones that absolutely requires a certain weapon and gently caress you if you're short or die and run out in another attempt.

Rirse posted:From people in the 3DS thread mentioned, they just flat out disable saving in the puzzle rooms. To be fair, it is REALLY easy to break code when you're trying to fix bugs, especially if you don't know what caused it in the first place (which I believe was the situation in the 3DS version). It's the same reason that instead of removing unused assets before the game goes gold, they typically just dummy them out, because you never know if there's something that calls them or requires them buried deep in the code, and removing them might cause everything to fall apart. The rest of the game more or less works as intended, so it's safer to just stop you from saving there than try to recode literally everything related to the PEC room so the bug no longer exists.

So just a heads up with regards to the Final Fight deal, you can't use it to get the other Final Fight games. I grabbed 2 for the hell of it, and 1 and 3 aren't discounted - only the Street Fighter 2 games.

SatansBestBuddy posted:Nintendo's not a giant, they were barely hanging on before the Wii showed up, and are being understandably cautious with their spending since now they realize not every console they produce will be a hit. Probably the only reason they're not filing for bankruptcy now is because they were so cautious with their money, since the WiiU is flopping so hard right now and they don't seem to know how to fix that. (more marketing, clearer message) The reason that Nintendo isn't filing for bankruptcy probably has a lot more to do with the fact that the Wii and DS were literally printing money for the last 6-8 years, and the 3DS doesn't look like it has any signs of changing that.

So basically every sale we got from Ubisoft was 25-33% at best. You know why your poo poo doesn't sell? Because you're still charging 60 goddamn dollars for ZombiU. gently caress, even Assassin's Creed 3 has seen a price drop.

Don't know if it was posted a couple weeks ago or what, but there's a "sale" on some WB games (but there's no sale indicator in the shop, so it might be a price drop): Arkham Origins - $39.99 Scribblenauts Unmasked - $39.99 Scribblenauts Unlimited - $19.99 Injustice - $39.99 Lego Batman 2 -$19.99 Plus some Hot Wheels game that looks like garbage.

Help Im Alive posted:If you like Fire Emblem you'll probably like Advance Wars. AW is so much more difficult though. Back when it first came out, it took me months to beat both campaigns. (But I guess save states will make it a lot easier if you decide to use them) I'm going to highly disagree that AW is more difficult than FE. It's a different kind of difficult, and from what I understand Advance Wars' hard campaign is a bitch and a half, but on the whole, Fire Emblem gets way more of IntSys's personal bullshit touch. Of course, if we're talking about Awakening specifically, you're probably right. Awakening is one of, if not the easiest FE game.
