I think it's OK to pre-order if the game is going to absolutely for sure be awesome. So far the only game that has consistently met this criteria is everything Metal Gear Solid.

It is never ok to preorder unless they are literally giving away something that is worth more than the game itself. Pretty much every game goes on sale for 20% off the week of or after and 50% the next month.

Metroid Prime is slightly not as good as Super Metroid but that's nothing to be ashamed about.

If you compare the sidescrolling ones against themselves and the 3D ones against themselves, fair enough, then it looks like this: Super Metroid > Zero Mission > Fusion > Metroid 2 > Metroid Admittedly all of these are great. The first two only fall flat because of their hardware limitations. What Metroid 2 accomplished on the Game Boy was pretty impressive, honestly.

I wasn't going to buy this because I have a disc copy but £9 in hope that it might show some support for a new Metroid game isn't much.

SolidSnakesBandana posted:But everyone feels like games today suck compared to games from back then. I'm inclined to agree, but I know it has to be nostalgia. The big publishers are releasing nothing but shallow focus-group developed games knowing that plenty of people will pay $60 to consume forgettable trash, but it's actually a great time to be a gamer as long as you recognize that a game being labelled "AAA" means you can pretty much ignore it completely.

I believe speaking ill of Super Metroid is bannable in this forum. Which, why would you? It's the greatest game of all time.

The metallic case boxed copies are still going for enough that you could probably sell one and buy a Wii U with it.

Pretty much every game goes on sale for 20% off the week of or after and 50% the next month. The best reason for pre-ordering (and by this I mean physical copies of games from physical stores) is that you have 30 ~ 45 days to play a game from launch while watching for price drops. If you see a drop during that month/month and a half, buy the discounted copy and then return it along with your launch copy's receipt to the store you pre-ordered at. As long as you know you want to play the game within those initial weeks, you pretty much can't do wrong.

SolidSnakesBandana posted:I think it's OK to pre-order if the game is going to absolutely for sure be awesome. This is 0% of games. Generally I pre-order stuff I'm interested in on Amazon to reserve the lowest price (which usually ends up saving at least £5), and cancel it the second bad opinions start flooding in. If a game has a post-launch embargo I generally cancel it on the spot and wait months after release before I give it another look. Scummy, scummy poo poo.

Can we put up a disclaimer to play this game on Veteran mode. I restarted when I found out normal was actually easy mode and the game's somewhat challenging now.

It's been there for a few months but they don't really advertise it and it's only available on Nintendo games, not 3rd party ones. There's also a page somewhere where you can paste in a code and redeem it have have it start downloading to your Wii U. It's like they have all the parts of the online services everyone else has, but they just gotta get it organized.

Is that page only available after an order, or is there a page somewhere where you can type in any old code you have and redeem it?

I've heard some bad hyperbole about the Wiimote but pretty much all of it revolved around shoehorned-in motion controls (which is a legit complaint for a lot of games). When used as basically a lightgun it works fine and is very accurate if you're not a moron and happened to place your sensor bar in a weird spot or something. Sorry but there is no way that "point Wiimote at screen, shoot mans" is worse than objectively the worst common FPS control scheme

Wootman posted:i thought DKC:R was perfect i don't know anyone that complained about it Diddy isn't a separate character, more like an accessory to Donkey, and becomes a floaty character which is supposed to be Dixie The new enemies suck Rambi is the only animal you can ride No NPCs, just Cranky I don't like how the kongs had voices instead of stock monkey noises None of Rare's humor or charm It's still a solid platformer, and I guess that's all that really matters. But the 10 year old Donkey Kong Country fan within me hated it. I've only played the 3DS version. I keep hearing Tropical Freeze is really good, and I plan on getting a Wii U in the not too distant future, so I'll definetly buy it and Metroid Prime Trilogy.

if you ever played the wii version of RE4 you'd be insane not to come to the conclusion that pointer controls are vastly superior to dual stick.
