Re: Review: Ninja Usagimaru - The Mysterious Karakuri Castle (3DS eShop)

@Captain_Gonru It actually works out pretty well for me, since somehow I missed seeing this when it came out at least it's brought to my attention now.

And I don't know what game Mr. Vogel's playing but I'm nearly done with the second area and haven't come across anything stumping me for half an hour. Maybe later. I hope they make a third game.

"But come with some unique touches. For starters, you'll have both vanguard and rearguard positions to work with in your partyard." Not sure how that's unique, I was fiddling with front and back rows over twenty years ago in Final Fantasy VI. Nonetheless, game sounds pretty fun.

Not a huge RPG player these days, but when I got to the part about seiyuus I immediately searched to find out if Hayashibara Megumi was one of them. Very disappointed that she's not; that would've turned it in to a must buy.

Re: Hardware Classics: Pokémon Mini

Bakajin

Not really to do with the article but it was mentioned tangentially so, huge pet peeve here when people refer to Snake as a Nokia game. The game's been around since 1976. I was coding my own Snake levels in visual basic in high school when no-one had cell phones--if you had a pager you were a rich kid or a drug dealer. Sure, Nokia phones put the game in the public consciousness in a way it hadn't been before, but the way people talk everyone seems to think Nokia invented the game.

Re: Review: Seiken Densetsu 3 (Super Nintendo)

Well, @Tasuki, I took your suggestion on that other thread and ordered a repro of this. Hopefully it gets here by Saturday morning; my wife has to work and a friend and I are going to play the heck out of this game if I get it by then. I keep updating my tracking notification I am so excited for this.

Re: Review: Shodai Nekketsu Kouha Kunio-Kun (SNES)

Does NintendoLife own stock in Hyperkin or something? All these retro import reviews are making me want to own a Retron5. I was completely satisfied with my awesome retro collection for years, and now I'm starting to think things like, how can I consider myself a true Seiken Densetsu fan if I've never played #3? Which, by the way, that one should be your next review. Was always disappointed that one never came west.

Witch and Hero 1 was pretty fun, I'll definitely pick up 2 when it goes on sale, and maybe before then. Annoyed that the only two SNES games I really want are in the last wave. Gimme my Metroid and Zelda already! Well, at least MyNintendo should be out by the time I can DL them.

Re: Pokémon Shuffle Gets a Major Update and New Features

Bakajin

I don't even care about Pokemon but I downloaded this when it came out, got addicted, and got absolutely everything in this game, got all the prizes in all the contests, all without spending anything.

TSince theny wife got me a New 3DS XL for my birthday and my save file for this game was the one thing that didn't transfer properly. No way I was going to try and get all that stuff again. It's been so nice since then, no more signing in multiple times a day just to farm Meowth. I'll stick to Pokemon Picross now for my free-to-play, license-I-don't-care-about fix. Nearly got the daily training rewards maxed on that one.

Mudds! Muddsmuddsmuddsmudds! Not gonna wait for MyNintendo to launch, want to play now. Finished 100%ing the first one again on the bus this morning, really wish I didn't have to wait another 8 hours to get home and download Super Challenge.

Re: Video: Mutant Mudds Super Challenge Trailer Opts for Retro Charm

Bakajin

Man, for a moment I was like, waaat, there's physical? And then I read the disclaimer. Oh well, still getting it the moment I get home from work Thursday.

I'd get during work Thursday the moment it hits the eShop, but for some reason work has blocked my 3DS. Would've thought my cell had used far more bandwidth than the 3DS, but as I'm reading NL right now that is not the case.

Re: Site News: Welcome To The Brand New Nintendo Life!

Bakajin

It's pretty good overall, but the first thing I thought of when I saw the redesign was that hopefully we'd be able to see prices in the reviews on the mobile site. Instead, it appears they're not there even when I click "View Desktop Site" on my browser. . . .

Re: Hands On: Getting Pinned Down By Nintendo Badge Arcade

Bakajin

@TerrapinJess The letter on the folder never bothered me until I got the Hanafuda theme, then I was like, I don't want to cover up this nice little kanji on my folders. What I do now is make the first character of every folder name a space, so try that if you have a folder you don't have a good badge for.

Re: Retrospective: The Legend of Zelda: The Minish Cap - A Decade On

Bakajin

Eh, never was a fan of any of the Capcom Zeldas. They're playable, but they just don't feel right to me. But particularly with MC, the kinstones seemed like a wasted opportunity, the seashells/figurines were just annoying, and my god it committed the worst sin a Zelda could do: it was short.

I know, I know, first I complain the game wasn't very good, then I complain there wasn't enough of it . . .

Re: Feature: The Castlevania That Konami Doesn't Want You To Know About

Bakajin

It depresses me to see all the Castlevania: the Adventure hate in these comments. Am I the only person in the world who loves that game?

I admit that it's not very good, but it's playable. I just beat it again on my 3DS two days ago. I suppose I wouldn't like it very much if it hadn't been my very first CV game back when I was 11.

Re: Nintendo Download: 21st November (North America)

Bakajin

I clicked 'nothing for me this week,' since I'm only planning on picking up the physical ALBW right after I get off work tomorrow, but the more I think about, the more I think it might be nice to have a Mega Man on my XL. Probably #3.

Re: Review: Super Castlevania IV (Wii U eShop / Super Nintendo)

Bakajin

I love this game. I still have an old notebook from back in the day with all my SCIV passwords, and when I get home tonight I just might download this and punch in the password for level 1. (All my passwords are for the second playthrough so this will let me actually have a little bit of challenge from the start.) My old cart still works fine but my SNES, not so much; I can justify this download.
