I picked up HarmoKnight today and so far I'm pretty underwhelmed. The levels are quite easy to get a "gold" rank, and there isn't much reason to try to get a pefect. All the bosses are the same kind of "simon says" format that gets boring pretty fast. Bit.trip Runner 2 is a much better game for $15.

I'm just hoping the new Yoshi's Island has a feel more like the original as opposed to the DS one. The DS one just felt too slow and clunky. I loved the first one because how fast everything moves and happens, you can aim and throw eggs so naturally and quick. I hope that having 3D models doesn't slow the game down at all.

Inzombiac posted:Link also had pink hair in LttP but people would freak if he had it in the updated game. One thing about the screenshots is that Yoshi and the enemies have kind of ugly looking 3D models that look weird compared to the art of the levels. I wish that they were sprites or otherwise flat instead, and looked closer to fitting in with the environments.

Shadow Ninja 64 posted:GameXplain got to try out Mario & Luigi: Dream Team and made a short video of their impressions of the game. It looks like a ton of fun so far: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-M9eLt3sEnE When he said that people in Luigi's dreams just compliment him all of my worries that this game would go down the same route as Sticker Star were dashed.  The videos of the new Zelda were everything I could have asked for too. I just hope the overworld is just as open as the first LttP.

Wow, my top played games are a lot. 1. Pokemon Black 2 98:51 (yowza!) 2. Fire Emblem Awakening 89:45 (I haven't even beaten the story, this is mostly slow support grinding, plus some play time from a friend) 3. Pokemon Soul Silver 40:30 4. Professor Layton and the Last Specter 36:08 5. Paper Mario Sticker Star 30:50 (I hate this game  )6. Pokemon Black 29:28 7: Pokemon Mystery Dungeon Gates to Infinity 27:28 8. Professor Layton and the Miracle Mask 22:29 (it is #1 in average time played because when I got to the last couple chapters I just marathon'd it straight through) 9. Pokemon Pearl 17:17 10. Kid Icarus Uprising 15:43 I play way too much Pokemon.  Barudak posted:Wait how are you guys taking so long in Fire Emblem? Are you all save->reloading? I beat every mission available on playthrough one on hard in 16:21. I played this game way too meticulously. I love the support conversations, and I want to see just about everyone's, so I just spend a lot of time fighting risen or spot pass teams to grind support. Plus a lot of the time is just me being bad at the game and having to reset because someone died near the end of a mission.

Shoopuf posted:Oracle of Ages/Seasons is supposed to be out today, right? Because it's saying they aren't on the eShop yet. Is the "at 9AM" thing running on PST instead of EST and I just need to wait ten minutes? Presumably, yes. It's just been twelve hours of disappointment for me since I realized this when I tried to download them at midnight.

Regy Rusty posted:Doesn't matter. Each is a standalone game and they can be played in any order. You can swap between the two if you don't mind going through one or both of the games twice. I know I'm alternating games after each dungeon and I'll just start the new linked games on both of them at the same time too.  I really like these games so I don't mind.

Amppelix posted:So, the Yoshi's Island game for 3DS. Guess what it's called? I have a feeling this game is going to be very disappointing. Look at that idle animation for Yoshi. The new model has absolutely no charm in it at all. The music sounds pretty lame too and the title does not make me feel like this game will be very interesting. I hope I'm wrong but dang, it looks worse than the DS one. Mario and Luigi looks fantastic though. Any word on a NA release for that special Luigi 3DS XL?

So today I finally beat Virtue's Last Reward. I had beaten and enjoyed 999 beforehand so I knew what I was getting into. (VLR ending spoilers:) I can't be the only one who thought the ending was extremely disappointing and confusing, right? I feel like the whole idea that the game was just intended to be part of a stable time loop for Sigma to try and prevent Radical 6 was an extremely stupid way of resolving the mystery, mainly because it avoids having to answer all of the "why" questions. Why did this part of the game have to happen this way? Why did these characters need to be here? They're all answered the same way: because they had to happen that way for the time travel to work. It's just such an unsatisfying answer.  I even read the epilogue that you get for beating all the puzzles on Hard, and that didn't really help much (aside from weirding me the heck out because my actual name is Kyle). I don't know, maybe I just don't have a good understanding of the ideas of quantum mechanics and 4th dimension theories. Either way, it just doesn't feel like a good ending at all, and I'm pretty disappointed.

What are the chances of any of the Donkey Kong Country games hitting either the Wii U or 3DS eshops for the DK week?

Lexicon posted:So I picked up Donkey Kong Country Returns 3D on a whim on a Black Friday sale. Maybe it's just me, but it is a... terrible game. The control scheme feels totally broken relative to other platformers or previous DK titles. It's definitely different than the old DKC games, but once you get used to the controls and physics, it becomes one of the best platformers I've played in years.

FruitPunchSamurai posted:I feel like the Wii version of DKCR was better mostly because the controls on the 3DS feel worse. I had a blast playing on the Wii, but my hand cramps up playing on the 3DS from having to hold down the run button and use the shoulder button to roll. The only alternative is to use the analog nub which is just plain awkward to use for a precision 2D platformer. It's totally way worse than waggling to roll. Just get used to the Circle Pad.

If I go to best buy and order in store or whatever, I'll still get the BOGO deal and get the games when they eventually restock? I went today and they were all out, and looking online every store near me is out of almost everything as well.
