Topic: Universal Recommendations Thread

@Leshclen: If your favorite genre is RPG then you should really check out Ys Book I & II for the TurboGrafx-16. I believe it is 800 points.

@NotEnoughGolds - it is 800 Wii Points (900 if you're in Europe). Good game.

I'm trying to decide what to get with my next points purchase. I'll have 1000 points leftover after I get Cave Story. Should I get:

Bit.Trip Core
Bit.Trip Void
Ogre Battle: March of the Black Queen
Ogre Battle 64: Person of Lordly Caliber
Contra ReBirth
Blaster Master: Overdrive
Ironclad

Alright, I sadly just don't feel like getting Cave Story as my Purchase. Don't get me wrong, I will eventually get it, but I have had a bad feeling every time I think about it, which doesn't happen too often with purchases.

So, I have narrowed it down to this:
Mega Man 10
Super Mario Kart
Donkey Kong Country
Secret of Mana
Star Parodier
Sonic The Hedgehog 2 or 3 (Genesis)

I mainly like Mega Man 10 and Super Mario Kart as my choice, but I would like to hear what you would recommend. Seeing though as I have 1,300 points, I can get 2 games. I can get 2 with an even price of 600 points, or I could get one that costs 700 points then a 500 point one. You decide

Lets say I like a game that is a Classic and not to terribly repetitive. I like games with no Sexual content or references whatsoever, and a game with no terribly crass language. Nothing too scary or extremely gory.

Here are the Genres I mainly like, so you can go by those to help you to decide:
Action
Adventure
Platformer
RPG
Strategy
Puzzle
Shooter

Also know that it can of course, be more than one Genre for a game (EXAMPLE" RPG/Strategy, Shooter/Platformer, etc.)

Have fun I guess!

Donkey Kong Country. It will last you much longer than Mega Man 10.

MM10. It's BETTER IN EVERY WAY xD

It's hard to decide! I want all of them! But you don't have unlimited points!

Might get either Mega Man 10, Star Parodier, or Sonic The Hedgehog 2 or 3. Then probably Super Mario Kart later or some other game like Secret of Mana.

Reminds me, going to add Secret of Mana to that list and delete one of the list: Mario Golf

Mega Man 10 is basically the same as every other Mega Man game...

That's a bad thing?

Yes...

Completely new game just that it's concept and storyline is the same. It also has an easy mode, with the addition of playing as protoman for free unlike Mega Man 9 where you had to pay for it through DLC.

I should've known better than to be lazy...

Bit.Trip Core/Bit.Trip Void - I played the first and enjoyed it immensely, and I'd to try the sequels

Ogre Battle: March of the Black Queen - I already gave it a go not to long ago and loved it, and I've recently had the urge to give it another go, this time legally.

Ogre Battle 64: Person of Lordly Caliber - It's the last N64 game I need to get on VC, and I've also heard it improves on its predecessor, though some still say the first was better.

Contra ReBirth - I watched a stream of the first few levels, and it looked really good. I love Contra, despite the fact that I suck at it, and this one seems easy enough that I might actually be able to make progress in it.

Blaster Master: Overdrive - I greatly enjoyed the first, though I'm still working my way through that game, and from what I've seen, this one isn't as good as the original.

Ironclad - I love shmups, I love the Neo Geo, and I love the style of this game. It also seems to contain elements from my favorites in the genre.

Was my only help was to say and get Mega Man 10? Did you not by chance find any of those intresting or good on that list? It's alright, it's just I usually have more help than that on a decision

-BF98

Since you already played the 1st Orge Battle, you should try the sequel out (I have never played the game before so i can't help you on how good it is. As with everything else on your list)

Er, thanks but I already decided on what I'm gonna do in the VC Recommendations thread. Now that Kirby Super Star is out, I think I'll skip out on Cave Story for now and get KSS, Ogre Battle, and either Bit.Trip Core or Void.

Ok. Should i get a Nintendo Points Card for my DSi and get
-Minis March Again
-Pictobots
-Something else
or should i get Fire Emblem: Shadow Dragon?
I was always interested in the series, and i like the genre, so i was wondering if this would be a great game to start with (if not i was thinking about getting Path of Radiance)

Hey, guys, I'm thinking about getting Split/Second for PC. It's $30 on Amazon, but if I do get it I'll have to wait a good few weeks until I am able to get SMG2. Any objections?

Yes!

@turtlelink
I would get the points card(my opinion may not matter as much though because I'm not a fan of Fire Emblem) and get PictoBits, Maio Mini's, and the crazy golf(something like that) I own the other games besides the golf one.
Edit: sorry, the golf one is 500 points...

@V8 ninja
I would just get Super Mario Galaxy, but if the deal is temporary for Split/Second, go for it.

And a few weeks you can wait. $30 for a new game is a steal. Get it!
