Wario Land 3 is better than 2, but they are both excellent in their own ways.

I hated the stupid OK YOU HAVE THE KEY THING NOW RUN BACK THROUGH THE ENTIRE LEVEL REALLY FAST bullshit they introduced in 4. But I like Shake it! a lot in spite of how retardedly hard some of the secret levels are.

I liked Wario Land 3 a lot, gently caress the haters. You constantly get treasures which change or unlock parts of earlier levels, and things are totally different between day and night. 2 was ok but I hated the bullshit memory game thing you had to do to get map pieces that basically did nothing. I feel bad for the poor souls who have never played Virtual Boy Wario Land, it's probably my favorite of the lot. I can take or leave 4, I wasn't a big fan of losing treasure when getting hit, since it made getting gold crowns a pain in the rear end. I still never got a gold crown on that volcano level on hard because of that. Not that the crowns really did anything.

That game would have been pretty good had it not been for the inappropriate, stupid touchscreen minigames you had to do to open chests. The platforming and transformations were fun.

Is the reward for collecting all 200 Music Coins in Wario Land 3 seriously just a new course for that awful Wario Golf minigame? Do you get anything for beating that course, or is that it? That's not a reward, that's a punishment.

I'm still going to collect all of them anyway because that's how I roll (i.e. collectathon OCD), but still.

Yeah, that's all.

I just watched trailers for Trine 2 and Little Inferno, and I have some questions:

first, what does Trine 2 play like? It looks like a fantasy type 2D side scrolling platformer. Is it fun? Is there a story? I don't really know anything about it.

Does Little Inferno have a plot? Is there some kind of puzzle-solving element to it? Are you like, solving a mystery or something? Or are you just burning poo poo. It looks kinda neat but I'm not sold yet.

It's a sandbox puzzler. There are combos to unlock which get you money and stamps. (Stamps get items from the catalog shipped to you faster.) Mostly you do burn poo poo but yes, there is a plot. It's not a mystery.

I'll probably check it out, it seems pretty cool and unique.

Can we talk about how awesome Fluidity Spin Cycle is? Because it's really awesome. I like that it's split up into puzzle-stages, it lets them do a bigger variety of puzzles and not have to worry about a coherent map and all that bullshit from the first game. Also the rainbow sprites are :3:

Do my coins expire if I don't use them? I've gone a bit past platinum thanks to the Wii U I bought, but I haven't redeemed any coins at all, and I don't see anything that appeals to me in the rewards list yet.

yeah if you go to Accounts and Coins and look at the coins tab, it'll tell you if any of them are expiring. They usually take several years, though, so you should be fine.

Little Inferno has an incredible sense of humor. It's well worth playing through at least once.

There are like 4-5 puzzles that are incredibly stupid and obscure but other than those it's not super hard to figure out.

I think he was being facetious. Though in Wind Waker's defense, I will say it's the best HD remake I've played with the most improvements to gameplay. (apart from Metal Gear Solid PSP one that added online multiplayer and automatically had much better controls benefiting from an extra control stick)

Clearly you haven't played Kingdom Hearts HD 1.5 ReMIX yet.

Then again I haven't played WWHD yet so I can't make that judgment call :shobon:

Nope, nor do they understand the concept of putting new releases that fit in the sale description and having them at a special sale price to maybe get more people to buy them.

This is why the Zelda and Megaman sales were both rather dissapointing and why this one is just sad, no DKC games? DK3 on 3DS still full price? Come the gently caress on Nintendo.

This isn't necessarily true though. What about the buy two Kirby games, get one free sale when three Kirby games were released at once? Or the Zelda Oracle games being buy one, get the other at a discount? They've definitely done things like that before.

You can only connect your NNID to one 3DS. It says this in big bold letters when you connect for the first time.

It also said 3DS Miiverse does not support friend requests AT THIS TIME, which I assume means they'll add full functionality later.

It's not like they can just copy/paste the Wii VC games to the WiiU, they have to add in gamepad support and all that poo poo. I have no idea how hard that is but to get a ton of games out a week I suspect they'd need a team working on just that all day to keep up. Not that I like how slow this is, but releasing the whole Wii VC lineup would take a long time regardless.
