@daze0f_theweak Thanks for posting the youtube link! Between this review, the comments that I've read in the forum and that video, I think this is going to be my very first 3DS game!
I gave in and got it today. Definitely enjoying it. Only got to level 2 but only played a little bit. Overall I'm pleased, no where near the disappointment Ninja Gaiden Arcade was.
Nostalgia might just cloud my judgment on this one...same thing happened for VC arcade Ninja Gaiden...loved that one as a kid and that's a TERRIBLE game...might just risk the same with this one.
That's pretty sweet. This was certainly expected but it is nice to get the official notification. Very glad that I hadn't yet purchased all these games on the VC...and you can't beat my favorite game in the nes era series, Super Mario Bros. 2, w/ enhanced super nes graphics, that rocks!
I am going to spend my precious points on this as soon as it is available for download. Really. One only has to imagine what role this application (cause it certainly is not a game) can play in setting a very important mood when spending very important alone time with that very important her/him. I commend Korner Entertainment S.L. and Continental Producciones S.L. for helping us all turn down the lights baby...
I think that price point is a huge mistake. Unless this game just rocks the world and earns a hearty 9 they are going to loose a LOT of sales. Just think of how many people would give it a shot if it was 900. Probably make much more money based on quantity of sales.
I'm really excited about this game. But I am a little skeptical when a developer trumpets that they have "Beaten the Waggle" (assuming that is a quote). That just seems like such a huge and continual problem that for them to proclaim the end of all pointless waggle in their game could be an exaggeration. Still, I am hugely excited for this game. But will probably wait for the review.
Ha Ha. I like games and all. I even feel engaged by some storylines...but I've never played a game that actually challenged my preconceptions or changed the way I thought or explained the way the world works in a a new way the way great novels do...they're games...they are fun and a great hobby and yes they sometimes tell stories...but they are not literature, not by a long shot.
These NOA mondays are kind of like getting Christmas presents from your grandparents when you were a kid. You were always excited to see what they got you. The anticipation built as Christmas morning approached. The day finally arrived and you ripped into the big 'ol box they sent...the thing is, about 10% of the time it would be something fun that you actually wanted, but most of the time it would be clothes or a boring NES game with terrible graphics that no one heard of.
I got this game looking for a fun puzzler fix after the sublime WOG...this game does not satisfy. The thing is I keep going back to it hoping that it will get better, but about five minutes into playing I'm looking for another more fun game to play. I'd say 8/10 is an extremely generous score. More like a 6 for me.
I was very excited about this and got it as soon as it was available for download. I'm a fan of Homestar Runner, though my interest has dropped over past year/year and a half. I was hoping this game would restart my interest but so far it just seems a little boring with not a lot to do or explore. I also get a little bugged everytime I'm done playing snake boxer in Strong Bad's room and it flashes to his lappy computer room while the game saves. It seems like the developement team pushed this one out too quickly...before fixing all the little glitches.

It looks like frame 4 has some sonic influence. Do you think the developing team was poking some fun at sonic games?

I would love to say that I'm going to get Mega Man 10. But I won't. 'Cause I'm not. Mega Man 9 kicked my butt so I'm staying far away from 10.

Thanks for the spot-on review.
I was very excited about this and got it as soon as it was available for download. I'm a fan of Homestar Runner, though my interest has dropped over past year/year and a half. I was hoping this game would restart my interest but so far it just seems a little boring with not a lot to do or explore. I also get a little bugged everytime I'm done playing snake boxer in Strong Bad's room and it flashes to his lappy computer room while the game saves. It seems like the developement team pushed this one out too quickly...before fixing all the little glitches.
For me, 6/10. Should have waited for the review.

How does this game stack up to Super Bonk on SNES? I have that one on cartridge but don't play it that often...
