RadioShadow commented on Review: Sonic Labyrinth (3DS eShop / Game Gear):

The sad part is users will take that "pathetic" review seriously.

First you have not mentioned the music or the graphics. The music is actually quite nice to listen to and this is one of the Game Gear games that takes advantage of the palette, which makes a nice detailed and colourful game.

THERE IS NOTHING WRONG WITH THE LEVEL DESIGN! The review mentions that it isn't challenging, well the keys are hidden quite well, especially in the later levels. It would be boring if the keys were not hidden. <_<

The controls actually work really well. This excuse for review didn't mention you hold the button to make Sonic spin into a ball and you aim which way he goes (use the arrow on the ground) and then let go. I have never felt that I didn't have control of Sonic, except when he spin dashes off (but then that could be said any of Sonic's games). I will admit that having to keep spin dashing and stopping can get a bit boring at times, but I would put that as a minor issue.

The review doesn't go much into detail on the bosses. While they are are fairly easy to beat, you have to remember this is a 8-bit game and I think they did a good enough job. Why not bash the 8-bit Mario games for having easy bosses? :P

To be honest, this game is an interesting idea and one of the better Game Gear games. If you are looking for a traditionally 2D Sonic game, then stay away from this. Otherwise, it's not a bad game, if you want something different for a 8-bit game.

The point I'm trying to bring is, that review needs to go into the topics I have mentioned a bit more. That is all.

EDIT: I will agree £4.50 for a Game Gear is a bit too much. But I dislike how each VC game is priced separately while the Wii VC games have a fixed price (most of the time). To me, £3 would have been a better price for the game.

RadioShadow commented on Nintendo Download: 10th May 2012 (Europe):

@Reala: Go into the Operations Manual, connect a nun-chuck to the wii remote and press A, 1 & Z at the same time. You should hear a sound. Now return to the game and it should display fine.

Well SEGA are lame for not releasing it in PAL60. Although that was to be expected. Glad I have a American Wii. :)

RadioShadow commented on Going to PAX East? Come Say Hello!:

(shouts biscuit outside of building) :P
(gets strange looks)

I didn't realize PAX was in Boston the same weekend I'm on Holiday in Boston (which is now). I would have brought a ticket to go on Friday afternoon. Well that is my fault for not checking the dates.

Have fun there guys,

RadioShadow commented on Two More Sonic Game Gear Games Rated:

I actually like Sonic Labyrinth. It is one of my favourite Game Gear games. Sure it's not the greatest game, but I think people bash it because it's not a typical side scrolling game that Sonic is more known for. Still, I would buy it despite the review Nintendo Life give.

Now Sonic Blast, man that game is hard to find. I actually paid £15 on ebay just to get the damn cartridge. Was it worth it? Nope. The sprites looked too big, levels made no sense, music was horrible and not very fun to play. It is a shame because Knuckles was playable in this one.

RadioShadow commented on This is Your Mario Kart 7 Logo and Artwork:

First, the logo sucks.

Second, the Metal Slug 7 logo is WAY cooler: http://www.gamefaqs.com/ds/943389-metal-slug-7/images

Third, there are actually 9 Mario Kart games in total now:

  • Super Mario Kart
  • Mario Kart 64
  • Mario Kart: Super Circuit
  • Mario Kart: Double Dash
  • Mario Kart DS
  • Mario Kart Arcade GP
  • Mario Kart Wii
  • Mario Kart Arcade GP 2
  • Mario Kart 7

Fourth, WHY USE A ****ING NUMBER NOW? WHY, WHY, WHY, WHY? It made no sense when they did that with Puyo Puyo 7 and it makes no sense with this.

RadioShadow commented on Game & Watch Gallery:

Finding an orginal copy was hard. I actually got on last year at a car boot for £1.

I'll download this however. :)

RadioShadow commented on RE Mercenaries 3D Save Data Will Not Die:

@bboy2970: You can delete "Elite Beat Agents" save data. Just hold A + B + X + Y + L + R at the Nintendo iNiS screen and an option will come up about deleting the save. Funny thing is, it doesn't state this in the UK Manual. http://askville.amazon.com/bought-Elite-Beat-Agents-DS-clear-data/AnswerViewer.do?requestId=1609033

So here's the plan: Buy a copy of this game and don't open it. PROFIT!

Being serious, this is a bit of a silly move. Capcom must have programme something in the game to stop it being deleted. Once a 3DS save dumper/uploader becomes available, this won't be a problem. :)

Thinking about it, what happens if the save corrupts? That would most likely, just reset the save file.

RadioShadow commented on Review: BlazBlue: Continuum Shift 2 (3DS):

So you can't use the Circle Pad to move the character? You have to use the D-Pad?

I think I'll pass on this one. I will be getting the Xbox 360 version some when this year.

Plus these comments about "no on-line" are really lame. It's like you guys enjoy playing against random strangers you will never ever see in your life! :P
