PirateNipple posted:Has anyone checked out 3D Game Collection? When I first read your post, I thought to myself, "oh man, I could play CHESS IN 3D?" Clicked through the link, saw Checkers, laughed to myself, but then was immediatelly disappointed. I can't play Chess in 3D! But seriously though, it's PROBABLY just a bunch of shovelware, but I'm still a bit curious if anything on there is worthwhile. I also want to know how Sudoku in 3D works.

AngryCaterpillar posted:All I know is Ice Climber on 3DS has multiplayer in Japan. http://www.nintendolife.com/news/2012/07/ice_climber_now_has_download_play_multiplayer_in_japan Console multiplayer (as in, emulating console games like the NES) are easier to emulate than Handheld because on console, both systems are running the same version of the game, just sending the inputs each player is doing back and forth to each other. For handhelds, each system is running their own copy of the game and trying to emulate what the link cable expects.

VarrosAnon posted:Has anyone played Ikachan? I know it's another old Pixel game, but I was just curious if anyone had opinions on the game and the probable quality of the 3DS port. No idea about the 3DS port, but it's a very short game with kinda quirky controls, but it's cute and I liked it. But again, extremely short game.

Edoraz posted:Kirby Superstar Ultra, if you can find it for a reasonable price, is good. I don't notice the stretching or whatever people cry fowl on when I play my copy. Not stretching, but people complain about the lower resolution; not sure if this is even a thing on DS, it was mostly a thing on the GBA. Of course, it wouldn't apply to Super Star Ultra either way because it uses a different Kirby sprite/tileset that is completely redone. But anyway, fantastic game, everyone buy it.

elf help book posted:Zelda 2 rules. Stick with it, it starts tough but you get plenty of tools and shortcuts to make it easy as you push through. It's like the game is testing you, and once you pass an obstacle, you don't have to worry about it anymore. I felt the opposite about it; I was a total tool and spent about 3 hours one day farming outside Dungeon 2 until my levels were about halfway to max. This made all the dungeons really easy and unstressful, and I just made sure to level up right before I reach the end of a dungeon (where it gives you a free level up).

Depends on how many games you play next year. But yes, when you register it you get 40 coins I believe, so waiting to register it so you can save those coins for next year would probably work out best for ya. I have tons of games with codes in them laying around. I just went through a bunch of old DS games to make sure I had Platinum for the end of next month.

I don't see much point in buying those monthly games with coins when coins can go towards so much other stuff that's exclusive to there... Rather have that stuff.

There was a golden Nunchuk and a Game and Watch recreation, and other than that it's all stuff like stationery and Wii Remote holders. Maybe I don't buy enough Nintendo games then, 'cause I've got the 2 G&W Collection DS games and I'm gonna save up for the Ball I think it was recreation.

Unless they've announced something and I didn't see it, I don't imagine they'll be taking that down since, unlike the News and Weather, they can still make money off the Wii Shop Channel. As well, past WiiWare developers wouldn't be happy about it, nor people who want to redownload their WiiWare titles.

Astro7x posted:I do not understand Flower Town at all... It's just I can't understand how this is even a game. It actually has some sort of systems to it. The objective is to have attained every type of flower (and every color flower within those flowers). To do this, you will StreetPass people to collect seeds which can mingle with your flower. Your flower can only produce so many seeds before you have to start a new one. So you can try to accomplish flowers solely by StreetPassing, or by selling seeds you won't need, to make money to buy seeds (I think? Didn't actually check if seeds are for sale) you will use. You can also spend your money on decorative poo poo but I don't know what that all does yet! So basically there's a surprising amount to it. It's just not as overt a game as Mii Force and Haunted whatever are. (Haunted whatever is legit one of my favorites though. I like goofy room poo poo.)

Pyrovile posted:It's kinda lovely that the 3D version of Sonic 1 isn't based on the Taxman iOS version. That version is in widescreen, has playable Tails and Knuckles, an option to enable the spindash and all sorts of crazy poo poo in debug mode, whereas this version's sole new feature just seems to be 3D. This version has spindash, but otherwise, yes. Keep in mind how hugely divided development teams are between Japanese systems/developers and American stuff like phones, and it probably wouldn't be something simple to port over. Realistically they should just put that version of Sonic 1 on XBLA or somethin'...

PaletteSwappedNinja posted:Capcom announced that the remaining Mega Man Game Boy games are definitely coming to the VC "soon" - games include Mega Man II/III/IV/V and Mega Man Xtreme/Xtreme 2, and we know Mega Man Game Gear is coming, too. If you're not a diehard fan you can safely skip most of 'em, but it's still nice to see Capcom throw a bone to the diehard fans in the first place. Pretty disappointing that Mega Man V won't have it's Super Game Boy palettes. Same with DK '94, which had AMAZING ones (skip down a bit on the page). Likewise for the Oracle games and I'm guessing Shantae not having their GBA features. (Oracle games have 2 extra shops; Shantae had a slightly updated graphic mode and a few extra abilities I think?) I'm not even positive on if Shantae doesn't have them, but I don't see why it would if the Oracle games don't. Really strange decisions around these things.

Obeast posted:Each of the games after World Warrior did add new characters (Hyper Fighting/SF2 Turbo made the bosses playable and New Challengers/Super SF2 added brand new characters like Cammy and T. Hawk) and balance changes, so they are technically different games. The thing is that anyone who cares about the nuanced differences between them (ie, no one) would just be a sperg enough to want the arcade versions and not the SNES ports.

WalrusWhiskers posted:My only complaint about Bit Trip Saga is that it has pretty bad framerate issues if you play it with 3D. This is especially noticeable in Runner in certain segments (where it lags a bit even if you don't have 3d on), which is annoying since this is a timing/precision based game. I have really bad eyes for framerate, so when I heard about that, I played with it on, thought it was fine, then turned the 3D off, and noticed a MASSIVE DIFFERENCE that looked so much better. So yeah. Framerate with 3D is REALLY quite bad.

It definitely felt like "an even odder take on what was clearly similar to Mario", but you could still see the influence in it. Twisted Dreams however is a very different game.

If it's worth mentioning, Final Fight 2 and 3 were developed originally for the SNES and aren't a remake of any arcade version. SNES is the only console those 2 were on. (That said, I've never played them.)
