Topic: The Chit-Chat Thread

@ThanosReXXX you say that as if profiles couldn’t be deleted

@Delibheel Still, sort of a rinse and repeat exercise, and I REALLY hate those...

Then that's when you buy the full game.

Though realistically you should be able to squeeze about five to seven days with just one go of the demo. With 3 daily training sessions, and 10 free mode routines. Each daily session in the demo is like 2-3 routines.

I think that's quite enough for a demo.

@Delibheel Well, I don't know if that is supposed to be consecutive days or not, but if so, then that's not even an option for me, because I just don't have the time or the appetite, to play a game like that every damn day.

There's only so many genres that can keep me hooked and can keep me coming back every day, or at least a few days a week, and games like Fitness Boxing definitely isn't one of them. I've probably got the record of how long ago I've played Wii Fit or Wii Fit Plus. I have both games, and I only ever played them two or three times. Every time I switch on my Wii, the Wii Fit channel reminds me of my failure to persevere...

Then why are we taking about the demo if you're not even interested in the game.

I mean, I'm just talking about the demo being fair with the content it offers. I'm not trying to sell the game to you.

@Delibheel Well, we actually weren't talking about the Fitness Boxing demo specifically, but about demos in general, and how Nintendo usually mishandled them, in the recent past. And apparently, Fitness Boxing is just another example of how they're still doing it the wrong way this generation, so that is how that game entered the conversation.

@Delibheel On a side note: I actually did download the demo of Fitness Boxing, just haven't had the time to try it out yet, and knowing what I know about it now, I don't know if I ever will.

And I joined to say that demo in particular is not unfair or a problem. For this kind of game, the demo is already quite generous, and the time limit can be worked around.

If they just went and made it easy to play the demo indefinitely, there would be little reason to buy the full game.

@Delibheel No, no, no. You misunderstand. It was NOT about Fitness Boxing specifically. I understand that because it was mentioned, you wanted to offer your two cents on it, but that wasn't the actual point of the discussion.

That was simply Nintendo mishandling demos, especially compared to how the other two (and PC/Steam) handles them.

You don't need to explain that.

I'm simply not part of that discussion.

The discussion branched.

I use folders on my 3DS to sort my downloaded (mainly Virtual Console) games. One folder for Mario/Wario, one for everything Zelda, and one conveniently labeled Other. Most of my non-VC games are on the home screen, but I also have the home screen zoomed out to where there are three rows. I might steal RRF's idea and make a folder for the 3DS bloatware that I don't use.

As for demos....I do agree that the "X tries of XX times remaining" limits were a bit stupid. Most of the time this didn't bother me, but there were a couple that I felt should have given the player more tried or else gave them more tries than necessary.

I have quite a few folders in my main 3DS.

One for full digital games, in the main page, and six in the second page for smaller digital games, virtual console, the ambassador games, disware, system apps, and another one random apps that don't really count as games+demos.

On my 2DS I just banished all the system apps and demos to a folder, and keep all the digital games in another folder.

@Blitzenexx
its dangerous to go alone!
take this.

...Should I get Steamworld Collection for the Wii U? I keep hovering near the Add to Cart button on Amazon....

@ogo79: Snake better be in that box!

The Zelda timeline did it better.

For the lousy games on my 3ds still for some reason, I have them all in a folder with a poop badge from the Monster Hunter series slapped on the folder.

Hey guys, here's the results for the NSO Satisfaction Survey I did a couple of days ago. Please keep in mind that if you try and access the survey now, you'll get a message saying that the survey has been closed. You can check out the results HERE.

@TheAwesomeBowser Shocking results.

It's dangerous to go outside alone.
Wear this !

@JackEatsSparrows
What did the result of NSO polling say ?
