Re: 3DS Unlikely to Feature Achievements System

BowtieShyGuy

I'm quite ok with it. Sure, I play xbox games much longer because of achievements. It gives you a kick in completing it all. But on the other side there are stupid grinder achievements which make you games play longer than they are meant to. Games should be played because they are fun, not because you get 100G for doing so.

Re: Brush Up with Art Academy on October 25th

BowtieShyGuy

What are the differences between this and DSiWare? I heard this has some more mini-lessons, but lacks the feature of saving Art to an SD Card. Mini-lessons are just models to repaint them, right? So I could search them in the internet, take a photo and still have them, right?

I'd really like to have all lessons, but I always hear that it's like tricking you to buy the same thing twice. Do you think I should still go fo both DSiWare titles for 16€, instead of the full-price-game of 30€? Or just buy first semster for 8€?

Re: Review: PokéPark Wii: Pikachu's Adventure (Wii)

@bulbasaurus Rex: Could have been great, if they weren't that easy. If you want realtime Pokébattles, Pokémon Rumble will be the better decision.

I still have to complete it, but I would give it a 7/10 till now, with the cautious warning that after the age of 10 every year of age decreases the fun intensively.
At first I also hated the tune of the green zone, since the BGs repeat themselves after like 20-30 seconds. But later on I found the music quite fitting and well composed for just 30 secs, with little alterations as you change places.

Re: Reggie Confirms 3DS is Coming Next Year

BowtieShyGuy

This has nothing to say. They said they'll release this fiscal year. But they never said it will happen outside of Japan. Either they go for a worldwide release like with the Wii, or they do the same as they did with the DSi, Japan gets it in March, we around July ord September next year.

However, I think they don't even know when it will be released

Re: Just What Is The Nintendo Zii?

BowtieShyGuy

Ddidn't Nintendo patent Aii, Bii, Cii, Dii... already in 2006? Read that on several independent gaming sites. Okay, there's the Vii, but as we know China hardly cares about plagiarism

Re: The Legend of Zelda: Spirit Tracks dated

BowtieShyGuy

Who claimed it plays AFTER Phantom Horuglass? I always hear it, but I never ehard an official statement. I thought it's just fan speculation by fans because of the Phantom and othe similiarities to PH. The Phantom could also be Bellamu and the story shows us how he turned into what he is in PH

Re: Buy Metroid Prime Trilogy, Get the Original Metroid Free

BowtieShyGuy

The game isn't really free. As Betagam7 already said, the Original MP1 already had a better version (if you had MF and a link cable). What prevented Nintendo including it again.
Also: Nintendo offered with EVERY WW of the 1st Edition a free Bonus disc with two versions of Ocarina of Time. What prevented Nintendo from at least putting a code into every 1st Edition game, or like Microsoft does: giving the code to pre-orders? You also got a Darkrai figure for rpe-ordering Pokémon Platinum.

The way they do it, it just seems like a (literally) cheap way to apologize that they haven't included every feature of the old games. Not that consumer-friendly as I'm used of Nintendo.

Re: Buy Metroid Prime Trilogy, Get the Original Metroid Free

BowtieShyGuy

Couldn't they just have included the Original Metroid in the gallery, as with the Gamecube game? Oh well, maybe I'll see if I can get a copy at Gamestop. Austrians don't get VIP Codes regularly About registering: Has it to be the exact release date? Because if not it is impossible to become one of the first 5000 of all Europe if you' don't have relationships...

Re: DSi Firmware 1.4 Defeated Already?

BowtieShyGuy

hackers will always find a way. It's sad, but that's the truth. My IT Teacher always said, "The only 100% save system is a system not even you can use".

Of course I pay for games that I like, so that developers have enough money to make more great games!
