Why do games keep trying to introduce fishing minigames? They're all poo poo

The fishing in Twilight Princess Wii was the best part of the game

No it's a new game. You're probably confusing it with the roughly 400 games that comprise the Legend of Heroes and related game series

Kicking off September with a big cup of coffee and nuclear throne. I'm still trying to decide who I want to try and loop the game with. I've been gravitating towards steroids because he will the be the easiest to maintain ammo levels with just a mutation or two, so I can expect a lot of variety in my runs.

the dead body lootin mutant shootin venuz youthin rootin tootin luger totin ruger loadin bullet throwin way too long grenade holdin triangle

but steroids is my second favorite yeah. melting has the objectively best throne butt/ultra mutation but i'm still partial to yv's ultra a + his ultra bonus

yeah YV still my only successful run. With hyper rifle and recycle gland and I could just hold his double tap, melt everything in a level and come out ahead on ammo

still havent reached ultra mutation level but it seems like something that you could only get in a loop or with melting. maybe ill drive myself crazy and try to loop with melting...

The only Metroid-y Castlevania games I'll call good are... hrm... all of them.

Actually, that's not productive. What insane criterion makes the others bad?

Harmony of Dissonance is the only one I'd call bad because it was their first GBA one and they tried too hard to make a 1:1 SOTN game with the double castle and everything and it's kind of a boring game to navigate and play. All the others are various levels of good to great though

I believe the only games I didn't play even one second of were the fighting game on the Wii and Kid Dracula 2 because Kid Dracula 1 was lame. There may have also been a MSX exclusive or some similar system, I didn't want to mess with trying to emulator old rear end Japanese PCs.

No, but it is an insanely bad arcade game that came out I think around the same time?

It is the only arcade game I've seen where you can't just give yourself unlimited continues. If you die and have more quarters it still boots you to the beginning of the game.

I just mentioned it because it's probably the worst game tangentially related to Castlevania and is the only game in the series that I could not beat without blatant cheating. I mean Castlevania The Adventure was bad and poorly balanced but I still pushed through to the ending.

It's actually the first Castlevania game I ever played haha. When I came across this at an arcade i got about halfway through it before deciding it was time to learn about the series finally.

drat kudos, I had to cheat my way through the end of CV3 and Adventure 2. I also just didn't finish a few games because I wasn't enjoying them but I still tried to at least play them all

Nice!

I was inspired to replay Pikmin 2 by Makorz posting about it in the August thread and somehow managed to beat my best records in every category.

It's still probably my favorite of the three but gotta say I really missed 3's new features, especially being able to let captains walk around by themselves. You can be so much more efficient!!

Pikmin 3's management/control scheme combined with Pikmin 2's dungeon design would be the perfect Pikmin game for me

Yeah, it's great. DQ Builders will kick rear end too.

I played the demo of Builders and the game is going to be awesome but I think I'll hold off, wait for a cheaper price and play it on Vita. Seems perfect for a handheld experience

PS4/Vita usually means the Vita version runs like a steaming pile of rear end.

Yeah, but the graphical style of DQ seems simple/cartoony enough that hopefully it translates well? If it sucks rear end I could always play the PS4 version on Vita through remote play

The Humble Bundle guys could make some easy money by selling every ROM ever and call it the "legally cover your rear end bundle"

SNK did this recently lol. They put up a humble bundle of "games" that was just a rom dump of every SNK game that runs on fightcade for 10 bucks and they were like "play them in this browser or on whatever other program you want!"

The more consoles start functioning like computers the worse they get. One thing I really don't understand about PS4 is, why do I need to put the disc in to play games I own on a disc, when the disc does absolutely nothing. Physical and online copies have zero difference now on the hard drive, why can't I just hit play.

It's mainly that I just messed up buying KOFXIV on disc, because every other fighter I own was digital so I could swap between them easily but now, I'd have to put in a disc to do KOF. But I wanted that sweet soundtrack disc with Mai on it. Such is life

If you click through to the DMCA notice its kinda cool that among all the different mario games listed in the infringement they specifically call out Mario Party 8 for some reason.
