Are Little Inferno/Chasing Aurora worth buying? Might pick those up while they're on sale.

I really liked Little Inferno but it's short and the gameplay is limited. Worth $5 or $7.

I bought bit.trip.saga for $30 when it first came out and had some fun with it but eventually sold it but for $5 it's pretty much a no brainer, especially when you don't have to swap out a cart to play it. BUY IT.

On that note, is RE:Mercs worth the money? Are there a lot of people playing it online?

Not sure about the online but the game is fantastic if for small bursts of play. Trying to get S ranks with all the characters is a lot of fun and it's at the $10 sweet spot.

So with this new Chibi Robo, how much of it is AR Stuff, and how much is straight up old chibi-robo? The trailer seemed to suggest it's 50/50. Was old chibi-robo a minigame collection of sorts? Like you did odd-jobs for other robots?

The Gamecube version was more or less an open world game that you explored and went around helping people, finding items, things like that. If Photo Finder captures even 1/10th of the exploration of the GC version then it'll be worth the $10.

So how's Chibi-Robo Photo Finder? I've got ten extra bucks on the eShop I don't know what to do with and I remember liking the original.

Assuming you've played the others and understand that you're not going to get a $40 experience out of it, it's great. It can be shallow at times and taking pictures can be frustrating due to the poo poo camera the 3DS has but overall I'm liking it more than I thought I did. Also, some of the textures in the game are unreal for the 3DS, it's a very, very pretty game but the frame rate can suffer from it.

I played the demo and while I liked it, I found the frame rate of it to be pretty bad. How is it in the full version?

Can't say for sure since I never played the demo but honestly there's nothing in the game (so far) that requires a steady framerate so it doesn't bother me. If the gameplay was affected to a point where I couldn't do poo poo because of it then I'd be annoyed but the charm and great visuals outweigh any sluggishness.

Just posted this in Wii U thread but thought it might as well go here.

The new club nintendo rewards games are up. They are Super Mario World for the Wii U, Art Academy First Semester 3ds, Trajectile 3ds, and Mario Golf for the wii. All of them except Mario Golf for the Wii are 200 coins. Mario Golf is 250.

Super Mario World for the Wii U has got to be one of the best games they have given away.

To confirm, it's the actual WiiU version of SMW, right? Not the Wii VC version?

Thanks. I know it was one of the first to come out (and don't think it was one that was discounted either) but always second guess WiiU Club Nintendo awards thanks to them labeling Wii VC games as WiiU.

PaletteSwappedNinja posted:

The DS game got middling reviews because it repeated all the mistakes of the previous games without really bringing anything new to the table - too slow, too easy, way too much pointless dialogue that scrolls at a snail's pace, ends on a cliffhanger for no good reason.

Pretty much. The dialogue is horrible, it keeps going and going and going and is extremely boring, the story is generic as hell, and it feels like a copy and paste of the prior games, for better or worse. It's a frustrating love/hate relationship in that while you play you desperately want to love the game but it just doesn't put anything out there for you to enjoy.

Wow Rusty's IS really good. I just finished all the Basic courses in the batting cage game and not only is it super satisfying, but the tickets, donuts and items you accumulate really do their job of makin you look forward to the haggling. I threw down $10 knowing I'll grab other games but I may have to spend another $10 on the others. Speaking of, how low can you haggle the games?

Do you guys not remember the Nintendo of old that would announce games years in advance? This is why they don't do that anymore though it sounds like they're reverting back to their broken promises because 93% of the time it seems like they only work on like 2 games every few months.

They also named the DS Fire Emblem Shadow Dragon, which can either be a reference to the fact that the 3DS takes SD cards in the SD card slot, or if you turn it around it's Dragon Shadow, which maybe refers to Developers System, and if you take Fire Emblem and mix the letters around it spells Rib Elf Em Me, which may be a hint as to what Nintendo will name their next console?? Makes you think.....

It's weird to me that anyone could like the older Mario Kart games better than 8 unless they're way into Double Dash's two character gimmick or something

Double Dash and DS had snaking, which was really fun to perfect and be competitive with. When the DS version came out years ago somebody started a tournament thread, which had brackets and everything, which was a lot of fun.

So hold up, how are you supposed to get the discount for buying both packs if they're being released 7 months apart? I get that you can save $2 if you buy both at once, but are they really expecting you to wait 7 months for that or does pre-ordering them get you that discount up front?

GC is only $2 and it literally copies some platforming techniques from the MM games and still keeps things fun. It's made by one person so keep that in mind.
