Re: Talking Point: Time for Wii U to Treat Us Like Adults

Balaclavab

Nintendo has so many parental controls to cover all options, so there is no need to further set up a compulsory limitation for those who choose not to put them in place. Its just going too far.
If a parent didn't want their child to download or purchase an 18 rated game, I believe it is within their power to stop them, they don't need another safety net in place which also affects those above the age limit.

Re: Feature: Looking Back at Six Years of Wii

Balaclavab

I think Nintendo have the worst hardware, but the best games on Nintendo consoles are much better than the best games on other consoles.
Xenoblade Chronicles, SSBB, Monster Hunter Tri and No More Heroes compete for my favourite spot. Monster Hunter Tri's online multiplayer is better than most games online multiplayer modes.
And No More Heroes (while now out on PS3) was such an original, crazy game that could not have started life on any other console.
It may not give me the same gaming sense as I have when playing the Gamecube, but I love the Wii. And i ould argue that xbox and ps3 have just aan

Re: Review: Geist (GameCube)

Balaclavab

I never found this game frustrating at all, I loved it.
I would give it a 7 or 8
I found the puzzles clever, and the shooting fun while a little un-inventive.
But there is no other game like it, and for a shooting game it had excellent music (well, not as good as timeplitters/perfect dark/ halo, but better than most).
I liked the spiritual, ghost side to it and the interesting bosses.
And Towel Woman and Chef FTW

Re: Ace Attorney 5 Confirmed To Be Hitting The Courtroom on 3DS

Balaclavab

Well considering the first Phoenix Wright game is my favourite game ever, yeah saying i'm excited is an understatement.

I just miss the first two games where all the characters and plot lines didn't all connect with one another and build up to one final case e.g. AA Investigations and PW TAT.

I would rather AA 5 stared Apollo Justice, as I feel there is a lot of room left for his story to develop, but I would like to find out what happens to the Feys.

If AA 5 doesn't get translated for a European release.....the world.....will....end by....my hand!!!!!!!!!!

Re: Aonuma: "Zelda Timeline is Less Important Than Mechanics"

Balaclavab

I think it needs the timeline, it's what brings Link(s)'s epic adventures together and it creates a universe which the Zelda games are set in, and helps to give the Zelda games a better story (I generally find the story lines of the games are going downhill, they are too bland and predictable)

Re: Game of the Year: You Decide!

Balaclavab

Xenoblade of course.
I think it is better than Skyward Sword. Much better.
But of course so many people won't vote for it because they have not played it yet, what with it not out yet in America and all

Re: You're Not Alone in Finding the First Zelda So Hard

Balaclavab

I used a walkthrough for the whole game, but I got stuck and gave up in the last dungeon....I will go back and finish it sometime

But I found the original MEtroid much easier to beat, although i hand drew my own map as i played through it (although I had to look up the scre attack)

Re: Pachter: Nintendo Should Charge More for 3DS

Balaclavab

No, i think the price should depend on how much Nintendo use the DS and the software- I paid £30 for Wii speak, but it was only compatible for 3 games!! What a waste, i used it once! But if it was for lots of games, then its a fair amount.

Same with the DSi
I think its waste- but only because Nintendo bought it out, and then forgot about it- there aren't many games on DSiware that are worth downloading etc. I should never have sold my Ds lite.

So when they bring the 3DS out, im might wait to see what Nintendo actually do with it, and how they use it before I get one. That will make the difference between £250 and £300 I think

Re: Review: F-Zero GX (GameCube)

Balaclavab

THis game was amazing I found it immensly difficult, but stuck with it to the end. What did it for me though was getting rid of the other 30 racers when you played multiplayer with another player. I would have played it alot more if it was as fully fleshed out as the normal arcade races.

@darebear you have to bring up the Home Menu, and select reset to go back to the Mian menu and to eneter a password

Re: Review: Infinite Space (DS)

Balaclavab

Great game. The story line is great, i just think it has a few gameplay problems :/ I just can't find the music anywhere on the Internet, as some of it is great

Re: Ghost Trick

Balaclavab

I can't wait for this, as the 1st Phoenix wright game is one of my favourite games ever! Looks like it has kept the humour from the Wright series - "I don't remember anything. Probably 'cos i'm dead" and "This desk lamp knows a whole lot more than he's telling me"

Re: Review: New Super Mario Bros. Wii (Wii)

Balaclavab

I don't know wheather to get this or Murumasa Demon blade. Im guessing that this dosen't come with any multiplayer minigames like the one on DS?? They kept me and my friends going for ages on sleepovers.

Re: Prime Yourself for More Metroid

Balaclavab

I would like it to be a side-scrolling one. They seem to last longer than 3D, and its time for some innovation for them. An online versus mode in the 2D would be brilliant. But yeah, i can't wait fo 'Other M'
