La-Mulana seems like a game that would help me satisfy my 2D Metroid/Metroidvania needs now that both of those series are dead. I need to find time to try it sometime.

I'm currently playing two games. Tales of Abyss (3DS), which to my surprise is a fairly competent game. After finding Symphonia (the supposed best game in the series) bad, Dawn of the new world and Graces F Average, I wasn't expecting to find a competent game in the series, but here it is.

Other game I'm playing is romhack of Pokemon Firered called Liquid Crystal, which is very good remake of the best pokemon game of all time - pokemon crystal, sure it has it's fair share of terrible fanfic goodness, but all in all the good overweights the bad. It's at least better than HG/SS in terms of remakes.

This is an acceptable wait unlike DS:O, a huge thank you for NIS America. September 13th will be a good day to be a european SMT fan.

No Superman 64 :>(

Oh you silly americans always suing each other over every tiny detail.

Oh my goodness Macca Beam. The bane of new game+ playthroughs.

Huzzah! Now all the worthwhile games are coming to EU too.

Chrono Trigger is only the best game ever.

I'm playing classic-hard. I'm at chapter 8 or 9 iirc and alrady lost about nine characters including my precious jeigan, Frederick. I do soft-reset though if I feel the loss is too great.

Got mine wednesday. Been playing it non-stop.

I'm currently playing Wild Arms 3 for the PS2, I played the game pretty far as a kid, but the game started to get too difficult for the 9-10 year old me, nowadays it's been breeze (at least to the point I have gotten).

My pre-order of Devil Survivor Overclocked should arrive next week, so I'm pretty excited for that. The Fire Emblem demo also got me pretty hyped.

The NES Punch-Out has aged pretty badly imho. I like the Snes and Wii Punch-Outs a lot more.

I have played KoF 98 in the orochi saga collection (only a little though).

I am hardly a pro level fighting game player or anything like that, I just occasionally like to play with my friends for a moment. These older fighting games tend to be a little less accessible for noobies than the newer ones, my main gripe being the somewhat hard to pull of special moves and lack of tutorials. KoF XIII still has that problem though somewhat. I like games like Blazblue and the New Mortal Kombat more due to the special move motions not needing to be nearly as precise. Of course, I'm not saying KoF 98 and the like couldn't be enjoyed by the noobies or anything like that, the newer fighting game offerings just tend to be more to my liking.

Anyway to each their own, if you don't agree with me that's fine, but there's hardly need to get agressive about that.

@gojiguy
"objectively superior" right. I suppose your favorite game of all time is objectively the best game of all time as well then?.

Not a fan of old school fighters. I stick with KOFXIII for my KOF needs.

I'd rather have Castlevania 3, the best of the classic style castlevanias I would say. Also if they ever start releasing those GBA games I'd like Circle of the Moon since after SOTN it's the best metroidvania, and since my GBA cart's battery has died I no longer have a decent way of playing it.

Ah, Super Metroid, my Favorite Nintendo game of all time, my favorite non-JRPG of all time and finally my 5th favorite game of all time overall.

Say Nintendo, why don't you try making a metroid game in this style again? I need something to fill my Metroidvania quota now that Castlevania isn't doing that anymore either.

I remember my friend had a game called Digimon World on the PS1 and I remember having some fun with it. That's pretty much my whole experience with the series.

I do dig the artstyle in that pic though for some reason.

I agree, this is especially relevant with Pokemon. I just want to catch a teamful of pokemon, convert other people's pokemon to exp, collect 8 (or more) badges whilst dealing with a silly evil gangster team and finally defeating Elite four and the champion. I don't care whether or not what I'm doing is philosophically correct or not.

I didn't like the original at all, but even if I did, I'd still fail to see the point of this.

Etrian Odyssey 4 huh, surprising. Maybe I will hold out getting that USA 3DS for now. Now just confirm Soul Hackers and were getting all the worthwhile games.

If I cared about Zelda at all I would be pissed. These guys suck.

Sigh... So they're going the "butcher old favorites route" this gen again. Please let Farfetch'd at least stay pure.

Currently playing through Breath of Fire 2 (One of my favorite games of all time) for the quanteeth time and Virtue's Last Reward, which I haven't found quite as enjoyable as 999, but still pretty playable. I would likely be playing Fire Emblem though, if Nintendo wasn't so stupid or alternatively if I was smart and imported a USA 3DS.

Played this in anthology. I like it better than 3 and 6, but 1, 2 (or X rather) and 5 mop the floor with this. I also like both Trevor & Nadia better than Eri & Tarma. Though Marco is still my fav.

The smugness of these guys pisses me off.

I want to se Kof13 in there again, the last year matches were some of the most intense I've ever seen in a pro level tournament.

@zane
I played until the black chick joined my party, but it was just too boring and slow for me, so I quit.

Make a new Zelda with Zelda 2 style gameplay, then I might be somewhat interested .

I really didn't care much for Xenoblade at all, wish they would make a new Baten Kaitos game instead.

@Starwolf_UK
To be fair, USA didn't get that either.

This is one crossover I never expected to see, two of the best RPG series (nowadays anyway) combine. Hopefully this'll come to pal regions as well, I'm kind of expecting it to since Nintendo is working with this as well.

I wonder if we get to see Marth take on giant ****s on chariots.

Wow. I admit I wasn't expecting this.

Better start copy/pasting FPSs or something if you want to get mainstream appeal.

This is surprising news, but really It's only because of the region locks we even have the fear of never experiencing these games in the first place.

Oh boy, Miyamoto is being even stupidier than usual. He really should just retire already.

Scott Pilgrim vs the World is basically River City Ransom 2 and it's also infinetly better than River City Ransom.

This menu looks strangely similar to certain Wii homebrew programs menu..

Yeaahhh... Thank you so much for the region locks once again Nintendo.

Nintendo is just begging that the 3DS gets homebrew'd though with the region locks. It's just a matter of time before it happens.

No surprise and TBQH I don't even care that much. BUT WHY THE HELL THEY MUST MAKE THEIR HANDHELDS REGION LOCKED AS WELL!

I'd definetly get this if it got a Pal release, but I'm not getting my hopes up.

Can't say I'm interested. Besides very few expections I already own all the Gamecube games that are worth owning on disc.

It's always the puzzle games that get the level editors.. Nintendo should finally "invent" (aka copy) this feature into their 2d Mario games. That might actually be the spark that's the 2D Marios need to finally become relevant again.

I found SoA to be rather bland tbqh. Though it's nice to see that some companies seem to still occasionally care about their fans.

This looks surprisingly legit for a wiiware game.

@Fidelin
I'd actually prefer that to this.

Another worthless remake with most likely nothing new added to the game.
Nintendo sure knows how to take advantage of their fanboys with minimal effort, actually if they were smarter they wouldn't even give the game the face lift, the fanboys would buy it anyway I bet.

I can't believe people are still buying these 2d Mario games. Nintendo is pumping them out at such rate that I'd figure most people would be tired of them by now.
