irlZaphod posted:Quoting this since it seems to have been missed (or no-one has played it yet). I was meaning to get back to you about this, actually. I just beat it last night, completely. The game isn't bad, but it's not gonna wow you with anything innovative or super creative. The game controls well. There are some depth issues, even with the 3D on, causing me to sometimes fail jumps. That generally happened in 3D stages. Speaking of, besides 2D stages, there are the occasional 3D courses. These aren't usually some huge explorable area, just 3D obstacle courses. The music is nice, if you are into dance/techno. Nothing memorable, but hey, better good than bad. There are three worlds with five levels each, and then a boss. There is also a Super Mario Land 3D bit where you beat the game, you get the same set of worlds but mirrored. You start from the exit and go towards the entrance, but it's slightly remixed. Usually a few more enemies or turrets here and there. The biggest catch is instead of reaching the goal, you have to find five hidden Golden Solar Chips, and then reach the exit. It's interesting, because the whole time I was playing this game, I kind of wished it was more like Banjo Kazooie/Mario 64. The whole game feels like an old collectathon platformer. Did I mention turrets? Cause this game loves them, with little Contra bullets to go with them. Bosses are alright, but it's pretty much the same model with a different coat of paint. At least they all have different patterns and attacks, with different arenas, too. Between each Area there is a minigame, like jetskiing, skydiving, and the last Area with the final boss is a shoot-em up with a dinky gun. I think that fight was the lowlight of the game. It wasn't the controls, just the slow rear end gun you get. I liked it, but it's hard to justify 9 USD. Try to catch it on sale. It does nothing special to the platformer genre, it does what it's suppose to very well. I had a good time with it.

Wow! Thanks for the info. I'll probably leave it for now, it looked neat from the trailer but yeah, perhaps a bit pricey for what it is. Hopefully it'll go on sale in a few months.

Something I am curious about. When the Miiverse and your login comes to the 3DS and it merges some parts of the store...does that also count the 3DS eShop purchases toward the WiiU Digital Deluxe reward program of spending $50 gets you $5 back?

I would assume it would be just for WiiU purchases but with the unified wallet you can use your credit on the 3DS shop as well.

PAL update (week of November 21):quote:WII U RETAIL DOWNLOADS Note the deal on EDGE: €1.99 / £1.79 for the first few weeks, just like Toki Tori. That Mysterious Cities of Gold game came from a Kickstarter that only wrapped up at the end of September, so kudos to the devs for the quick turn around. Apparently it's based on a recent French-only reboot of the old 80s cartoon series, weird. Does anyone care about Brawl Brothers?

I don't know why this is a big surprise. It's the same on all of the consoles, major releases get put up for 'RRP' despite everyone knowing that NOWHERE will actually sell the physical copy for that price unless its a first party Nintendo title.

The unified account stuff they're pushing out later this year (?) is gonna make it so any funds put into one system is also available on the other, so if you redeem the $5 on the WiiU you can buy something with it on the 3DS.

It was pretty popular in the UK too, hence me helping with the Kickstarter for this. The reason it's getting released in super speedy time is that the game was already finished for the PC in French, the KS campaign was mainly translation and porting money.

The more likely scenario is that they'll just naturally stop putting them up there once they decide to stop porting games to Wii U. They're close to turning off the tap already, it seems. As stupid as Ubisoft has been about their eShop prices, they're also the most consistent in lowering them when the game doesn't sell (in Splinter Cell's case it took 'em about two weeks).

TINA TURNER posted:So, guys… how's 2 Fast 4 Gnomz? Surprisingly okay. Nothing special, but I'd definitely recommend checking out the demo if you enjoy the idea of things like Super Meat Boy or Dustforce put into an auto-runner. It's not as polished as those games, but the controls seemed tight enough and there wasn't any glaringly bullshit deaths that I remember, but there are the semi-blind jumps with signs telling you what abilities you're going to want to use to not die. Definitely check out the demo before picking it up though, just to make sure it's something you'd want to play. You get a taste for the first world, the only things it keeps from you are new Gnome forms and one of the scoring metrics, but the scoring metric (completion time) depends on the first alternate gnome you unlock (gottagofast gnome) so it makes sense.

For anyone who has 3D Classics Twinbee and/or has played the original Famicom game, does the game actually have an "end" or does it loop endlessly until I game over? I checked Google and someone on another forum mentioned the original Famicom version having 64 stages even though that wouldn't make sense since every loop is five stages long unless the final loop was one stage short. Also, the shield and spread shot with the built-in auto-fire absolutely breaks this game (until you lose your shield and hit an enemy in one of the higher levels, which makes the game go from a cakewalk to getting killed every five seconds from enemies that run into you faster than you can react  ).

Well its no surprise Megaman week was going to be "Lets just discount the NES games, releasing new games what is this nonsense  ", but they don't even bother to include 5/6 and the one gameboy game on the 3DS? Or X? Hell why not put more games out (Like X2 or those GB games we were promised ages ago) at an introductory sale price or something.This Character week thing is turning out to be a load of poo poo if its just gonna be discounts on games almost everybody owns a copy of now or only discounts of NES games which is what its looking to be (Save for Links Awakening on 3DS but that's the only exception so far.)

If they were a $1.50 or so I would grab the ones I don't have, but since it only a $.150 off the base price, I just skip the sale. Also why release Megaman X2 when you get Brawl Brothers a game I literally never heard of, and I grew up on the SNES!

Isn't there supposed to be a second DLC case that they're not releasing outside of Japan because apparently it won't make sense to westerners? I'm really curious as to what was in it that they had so much trouble translating. On that note, I've always found it odd that the games are clearly set in Japan but all the characters talk about it like the US and react bizarrely to anything Japanese turning up.

I bought the original Zelda and have been playing through it for the first time in twenty years or so. I plan to do the same with Megaman and I might grab 2 and 3 as well. Granted, prior to buying a Wii U I haven't owned a Nintendo system since the SNES. Maybe it's just a dollar fifty savings but it's enough to encourage me to pick up some classic games and share them with my kids. That said I would have loved to see Megaman X and Link to the Past being offered as well and I'm a bit disappointed that they're not.
