8 does lack a proper Battle Mode.

This is also why I always come back to Double Dash. Bob-omb Blast just happens to combine two of my favourite things: Mario Kart and constant explosions. I assume they didn't bring it back because the mode gets kind of samey, and is absolutely broken. Still, I love it, and I want it back.

So, which Mega Mans should I get? I think I played one of the Game Boy ones at some point, but other than that I have no idea. Maybe 3? That's got sliding in it, apparently.

Thanks for the input! I just bought 3, and depending on how much I like it I'll either buy 2, 6, or somthing else. It's kind of funny, though: No one seems to even remember 4.

Yeah, get some rest. Those EU prices are all over the place, too.

Kirby's Adventure is 3,99€
The Game Boy Games are all 2,79€
and NSMB2 costs 35,99€ not 2,80€, even if that would be way more appropriate.

Short answer: No

Long Answer: Nooooooo, but supposedly the EU version (the one that will actually be on sale since Natsumi published in North America) fixed a few pacing issues in the US/JP versions.

(NA version impressions) You are just told "grandma died, run this store." There's a whole town to explore but you can't close your shop and kind of explore at your own risk. I got bored after the 3rd day in game.

That's a shame. I kind of enjoyed the trailer narration by the Stanley Parable guy. He really was being sarcastic, I guess.

I've never played a Zelda Game (besides Phantom Hourglass) and I would love to try out Ocarina of Time and Majora's Mask on the 3DS.
Do they sometimes go on sale in the PAL region?

Ocarina of Time has gone on sale once or twice, I think. It's a pretty rare occurrence. If you're willing to wait for a long time there is certainly the possibility that it might happen again.

I guess it also extends to preorders for games that aren't out yet? (Starfox Zero, Mario Maker, Zelda U, Animal Crossing Happy Home Designer, Xenoblade X, Devil's Third, Brain Training 3DS)

They also have Mario Kart 7 for 25EUR: http://www.gamesrocket.de/kaufen/Mario-Kart-7-Nintendo-3DS.html

Geez, these prices are not very good. Basically, if this is their idea of a discount then Amazon has been having a discount for the past year without anybody noticing.

I wouldn't rather be wiggling anything, but if I'm having to rapidly do anything that isn't a button press, moving a stick a quarter of an inch with my thumb is preferable to shaking a remote control wildly in my hand.

I'd compare it to Eks Vs Sever on the GBA: a mediocre fps that garnered attention for being on an underpowered handheld system.

That's spot on. The second game is better, but they're both nothing more than impressive tech demos. Moon (Chronicles) is probably the first game where they started trying, and it's not that good, either.

It's boring for the first half hour, but then it really opens up. I played it with a couple of buddies-- the more we played, the more fun we had. I honestly can't imagine playing it single player because failing as a group is the best part. Plus everybody gets their own horn to honk. All that being said, it's not the most fun multiplayer game on the Wii U by a long shot. But it's a welcome mix up from Mario Kart and Nintendo Land.

Thanks for letting me know! I wasn't even going to give the multiplayer a shot, but it's actually quite engaging when you're trying to coordinate your next move with your friends. This is by far the best game in the bundle. The gameplay and the humour are spot on.

I'm fairly sure he claimed that they'd add new games once the old ones disappeared. :mad:


Frankly, it's really weird that they completely remodelled the loyalty program only to give up almost immediately. Miitomo died off pretty quickly, and it seems like MyNintendo is following suit since the platin coins are basically pointless without a decent reward. Nobody's actually buying those lame 3ds themes, right?
