Harmony is good too, a little easy but it's very much SotN-lite, lot of the same aspects to it.

Harmony of Dissonance gets kinda crap reviews all around but I honestly didn't mind it that much. I played through it and enjoyed it but I forget almost everything about it. Aria is just really drat good.

We don't even get Aria here, but I'm just wondering.. how does it compare to Dawn of Sorrow? That's my favourite Castlevania by far (even more so than SotN) and that's the sequel so I'd probably love it, right?

NA dudes, a Shantae patch just went live, it fixes some game-breaking bugs related to the travel brochure. While I'm here, reviews for Stealth Inc. 2 are going up - they're mostly very positive, aside from Eurogamer who thought it was too hard, basically.

I prefer Dawn of Sorrow because the weapon damage system is more refined. At the end of Aria you just get the Claimh Solais and school everything because it fills like 1/3 of the screen and attacks really quickly. The soul farming for some of the weapon upgrades is bullshit although it does reward playing NG+ so you can have Death Scythe and Death's soul along with Valmanway and Abaddon's soul. Also the red minotaur soul in Aria is bullshit. cenotaph fucked around with this message at 01:04 on Oct 30, 2014 |

Nintendo revealed plans at their latest investors' briefing to allow for pre-downloads on Wii U and 3DS, starting this year with Smash on Wii U, and next year on 3DS.

Goddammit that's good. Just need to know what size Smash is. Using a flash drive to store games on the Wii U is fine, right? like, it risks not working 'suddenly' but usually lasts a really long time and I could do backups of save data on the console, right?

Flash drives aren't really meant for constant reading and writing but I've been using one for a year and no problems yet. You can also copy and back up most saves.

The Wii U seems to really want an external-powered hard drive, or at least one with that Y-splitter taking up two USB ports if you can spare them.

So someone explain time how amazing these Demon Quest games are and why I should get them. Ghosts and Goblins is basically an unplayable nightmare to me even with save states, I assume these are completely different?

I wouldn't doubt that the music alone would take a third of the filesize.

greatn posted:So someone explain time how amazing these Demon Quest games are and why I should get them.

Yeah, they're action-adventure games where you play as the Red Armerrer. the little devil guy from GnG that everyone dies to the first hundred times they play. They're reasonably challenging but nowhere near as tough as a real GnG game, and most of Demon's Crest is actually quite easy. A legit Demon's Crest cart costs a lot of money these days, incidentally. This VC release is the first time it's been re-released, but that'll probably just drive the price up, if anything.

I rarely see the game at local places, but I remember buying a physical copy from a local store for something like $10 used a couple years ago, but last year I saw another copy for something like $50 or $60, can't remember. Prices for physical SNES games have skyrocketed in recent times for whatever reason. I guess I got lucky and bought most of the now-expensive games when I did.

Those are excellent prices on excellent Atlus games. Thinking I might buy Devil Survivor just to have it digital instead of on a card.

I think Rush is 1.99 so would give you 19 points? Its definitely worth it. Its a nice diversion puzzle where you have to lay down time directions so a bunch of blocks make it past each other to their destinations.
