robodex posted:It's pretty much the best game guide ever, I don't think any other guide has done anything similar since. Exception being, of course, the Mother 3 guide that Fangamer put together, but that's not official and was intentionally made to mimic the style of EB's. The Earthbound guide even had little scratch n sniff cards in it!

Zaphod42 posted:Remember, Earthbound was unique in that the game was sold in a huge box that included the guide with it. So it wasn't even like some add-on thing. That's pretty awesome. That always initially put me off to the game. As a kid I imagine a game so difficult that they had to include a players guide with it. Then I rented it and did pretty well on my own without the guide so I decided to get it. Then realized that now that I had the guide I kept looking at it the whole time and probably ruined the game for me.

Zaphod42 posted:I just saw that PS4 and XBone game cases are even smaller and thinner than 360/PS3 cases, so they've finally done away with manuals entirely. I'm expecting them to merely have a slip of paper saying "Go to https://www.ea.com/... for assitance" The manual is DLC.

Keep in mind, EB was a really hard sell back in 1995 since up until then most RPGs were serious and took place in fantasy worlds. The guide was an effort by NOA to make the game stand out more and sell more copies. Part of what makes the guide unique is it was only part of the English release--MOTHER 2 was released in a standard box since it was already a relatively big release there. Shigesato Itoi is a celebrity in Japan and MOTHER 1 was pretty popular, so they didn't do anything special like that for the release. Anyway I will totally stop sperging out about EB right now and making GBS threads up the Wii U thread with dumb factoids about an 18-year-old game

So that Code of Princess game is $20 on the eShop for a limited time. Anyone have any experience with it? It also apparently has online multiplayer, so that could be a thing if some of us get it I guess.

Bad voice acting, repetative beat-'em-up gameplay that never changes or adds new moves, anime as gently caress plot, and character designs I'd be embarrassed by if anyone saw me play it. Even if you like that kind of thing I'm not sure it's worth $20.

It's a poorly optimized and less-good Guardian Heroes (made by the same guys). If you're into the genre, it's not the worst, but the game feels sloppily put together and has some massive frame rate issues. I enjoyed it and for $20 I'd say go for it if your income is that disposable.

You can see the slowdown in Code of Princess as soon as you start the first battle. It immediately went into the folder of oblivion on my home screen.

Does anyone know if the Pikmin 3/Wonderful 101 promotion is happening in Australia too? I know most eShop deals tend be across all PAL regions, but then again, it's also Nintendo of Australia.

It's really a good idea to have an account set to a European country, you save around 20% on everything on the eShop by default and you'll get access to all their promotions. Australia is a ripoff.

"Stop that!" "Sorry about this!" "Finishing blow!" "Finishing blow!" "Finishing blow!" "Stop that!" "Finishing blow!" Considering that the entire game is just doing the same few moves over and over again, you'd think they'd have more than 5 total lines of combat dialogue per character. Oh, and maybe more than one stage song and one boss song for the entirety of the game. So many parts of the game are so lazily done. Code of Princess is not a good game, even if you like beat-em-ups it's a lousy choice for the genre with barely any depth.

Has anyone been able to get Nintendo to attach games bought on the E-Shop before they registered their 3DS with Club Nintendo? I've sent their customer service two emails now with no response besides a questionnaire about how my service was.

I think registering the hardware just gives you coins. Yeah it's a little confusing. Oh cool, I had no idea I had to link it. Thanks a bunch, I'll try this when I get home.

I believe a small group called Million that's run by one of its creators and basically licenses out any Double Dragon/Super Dodgeball/RCR stuff now and was basically created for this purpose. Also old news, but that Shantae: Risky's Revenge game from the DSi totally owns. I can't believe I didn't get it til now.

Ah right, I keep forgetting the name of the company. They really haven't done much I guess, asides from letting WayForward make Double Dragon Neon, which rules. I'd buy it again if they released it on the Wii U. And yeah, I loved Shantae: Risky's Revenge. It's odd because I normally don't enjoy "Metroidvanias" that much, but I guess it's because it doesn't have a lot of tacked-on RPG elements. Shame about the map in the game. Love the soundtrack as well (no idea why the video is 12 minutes long when the song is 6 minutes long).

The international VC releases for the Technos/Million stuff (Double Dragon, RCR, the Kunio-Kun games, etc) are handled by Aksys, I believe. They're generally fairly prompt when it comes to getting things out in both regions.

Oh neat, I had forgotten all about the Digital Deluxe Promotion. I checked out the site for the first time since I bought my Wii U and had a $5 certificate waiting for me! The codes can be redeemed on the 3DS eShop as well, which was a nice surprise. Also threw $100 into my Wii U account for that promotion. I believe the $10 code you get from that can only be redeemed on Wii U. Would I get DDP credit for that as well? If so, that's another $10 I can spend on 3DS stuff, which is pretty awesome.

I have yet to check if they give you DDP points though, but since you can also buy eShop credit in a store using cash I don't see why it wouldn't count it.

I put mine on WiiU eShop to bore it on Pikmin later. Because if you put 50 or 100 on eShop by Sunday, you get another 5 or 10 dollar bonus respectively, and I figured I'm getting at least Pikmin and one other Nintendo game this year. If not for that promotion I probably would have used it on Dream Team.
