Re: Review: 50 Classic Games 3D (3DS)

EaZy_T

I have DS/DSiWare games like this, but I got this one so I can use the 3DS's features. If DS/DSiWare games could be suspended and still get playcoins and street/spotpassed I wouldn't have bought this one.

Re: Review: Planet Crashers (3DS eShop)

I saw the price at 50% off, so I grabbed this up.
I read this review when it released, so I knew it would fall in the 'average' category.
I've only played a tiny bit, but the $4.99 price-tag is good for this download.

I forgot that the combat is turn based so I was trying to move and mashing buttons! XD

edit: I have played a bit more and I like it I really think that this is actually supposed to be played in small chunks. I only play for a few minutes at a time (a mission or two).

Re: Club Nintendo Japan Rocking Five New 3DS LL Cradle Colours

EaZy_T

I'd guess they're the charging kind because they have the little 'bump' lever on the bottom that pushes the wire contacts out of the back of the cradle.
Would totally love Club N to offer these in NA (for a reasonable amount of coins, not tooooo many ). I would like to get a red (or green) one for my red XL.

Re: Talking Point: NFC and AR - Two Cool Extras That Need Some Love

EaZy_T

I wonder if NFC could be used to have small games/VC on a card/figure?
I can imagine a figure of Mario with SML embedded in NFC. Or a card that has a NFC minigame or demo to promote an upcoming release.
I think if NFC could be used like this, they could make really neat items/rewards for Club Nintendo.
.

ETA: This could also apply to retail or special Club AR Cards.

Re: Wii U System Update Adds "Stability Improvements"

EaZy_T

I hope this will fix the "horn of death" (freezing issue).
I've had NintendoLand, Assassins Creed 3, ZombiU and Miiverse freeze up randomly since launch.
I was especially mad when it froze while I was playing multiplayer AC3 last night.

Re: Review: Picdun 2: Witch's Curse (3DS eShop)

EaZy_T

This game is a lot of fun
One thing I like about PD2 over the DSiWare version is that it's nice to be able to play straight off the SDcard.
(I've run out of system memory long ago and dislike swapping games back and forth between SD/sysmem.)

Re: It Doesn't Look Like Bungie's Next Epic Is Coming To Wii U

EaZy_T

No mention was made, but did they ask about a Wii U version specifically? Off to read the linked articles...

edit: They said the engine is designed for 'this gen, next gen and next next gen' and will have a mobile release. I'd guess it could release on the Wii U without much effort...
The game sounds interesting, but I'm not sure it's ten years (the planned length) interesting.

Re: Nintendo Is Strengthening Development Teams, Defends Wii U Capabilities

EaZy_T

Sounds like Nintendo has a plan.

The Wii U's CPU might be 'weaker' than the upcoming PSBOXes, but I bet they will not be the powerhouses that everyone thinks they will be. I'm guessing that the systems' architecture will be similar enough to get some decent ports. The small ammount of info leaked about next PS sounds a lot like Wii U (ie. social aspect, posting screenshots, touchpad on controller), so Nintendo is once again doing the trendsetting.

Re: Talking Point: The Wii U Virtual Console Trial Campaign's Advertising Role

When I watched the Direct video I understood it as .30 for a month then 1.00 to keep it after the promo period.
Now I know I keep it for .30, thanks for clearing it up.
The way I look at the .30 pricing is: I used to play games at an arcade for .25 and had to 'buy' more plays for .25 at the game over screen, so the .30 price is awesome!
