GERUDO VALLEY THEME IS THE BEST SONG EVER IN ZELDA SERIES

ahem

OoT you say? Not that I like that gamebut I have N64 version.. and VC on WiiU. And oh that GC MasterQuest. And finally... had to buy 3D version because found it cheap.

My parents did not buy me consoles, I bought N64 from a friend when I was 15 (2000). So first thing to do was to buy Zeldagames. WHich was nightmare because I live in rural areas, local had Ninty dearler but games cost so much and there was on Zelda ofc. So I had to go to auction site. OoT and MM were both very wanted in auctions but managed to get 'em both.

Man I love that game. I really should pick up some version. Even LTTP maybe holds special place in my heart. OoT is still so amazing.

It was also the game what my current hubby started playing while he first came here (and met my family. Y'know how embarassing that situation is) and I had to go to work for few hours. "Here is N64 and OoT and here is a cat to company you". So it's special for him as well

He also whistles Lost Woods theme a lot

Re: Soapbox: My Nintendo's Updated Rewards Scheme Is Anything But Rewarding

Finntendo

Yeah My Nintendo has been lame.

But for me still better than Club Nintendo. Oh how it is so? Well, Club Nintendo was never available here in Nordics, so I never HAD A CHANCE FOR THAT COOL STUFF EVERYONE ELSE HAD.

..Well yes, I first did get Wii Point Cards (since those weren't sold here anywhere) but then it got complicated with WiiU.

I ended up giving my acct with loads of stars to someone here before it closed

CRIMSONLAND! Yes... it might be old PC game and simple yet so awesome and challenging. I don't usually like bugs/aliens in game because those creep me out but OH HOW MANY HOURS I*VE SPENT ON CRIMSONLAND ON PC.

Dang it Bravely Second in sale. But.. but..I just ordered few Fire emblems and xenoblade is arriving soon.

Re: Editorial: Nintendo's Surprising Fanbase is a Major Strength, Which Bodes Well for Switch

Finntendo

My parents did play SNES and SMW with it. After that? Not really nothing, esp dad being antidigital with everything. But I guess it was time when we only had 2 tv channels, no vhs so very little entertainment. Same was before that with C64 and Philips Videopac.
But for them they still see it as thing for kids, despite they never comment my pile of Nintygames that can be seen on our livingroom. But dear lord if I am playing something when they visit.
Thankfully I hve hubby who plays.. or more like thankfully he has wife who plays (he is more of PC gamer tho we now and then play Mario Kart together until we don't speak to each other anymore)

Husband says his mother loved DKC and would probably love SNES mini.

My sister, who for some reason does play (owns ps3 for example), but still being very casual and not being... how I'd say it. She can play a game again and again and again without adjusting or getting better with it. It's like same mode all over again. If she'd get her hands on SNES mini, I am sure she'd play F-Zero hundreds of hours (I never forgave her having better records at F-Zero than me despite I considere myself a much better gamer)

I think Switch has really caught what Nintendo has always wanted. Gaming for everyone. Despite angry teenage boys and young men who think they are the only tru gamers and no one else counts Gaming is fun and the more the merrier I think.

Also with Switch friends who have been pc/xbox/ps4 people have gotten Switch and been very excited about it.

This prbs didn't make any sense but. Oh well.

Re: Feature: 20 Games That Aren't On The SNES Classic Mini, But Really Should Be

Finntendo

UNIRALLY! (who'd guessed) Thankfully my original SNES works, so does my Unirally. So simple, yet such a wonderful game!

I'd put Bomberman there as well. Breath of Fire. Mortal Kombat 2 (But I guess it's too violent for such a collection? ) At least it has SF.

My parents never really had money t buy games so my childhood was pretty much SMW, NHL95 and Unirally. LTTP I got lend from neighbour.

Still SMW, FZero, LTTP and FF6 (that's what I know it as) makes me. So happy.

Re: Gallery: The North American SNES Classic Mini Is Boxy, But Good

@Meaty-cheeky

GOODLUCK!

Mine is travelling, should arrive to pickup point in few hours or so. SO yes I have it. With the horrible Nordic Price. I might be sour if the drop price when more in stock

I live middle of nowhere so I have no chance to buy from stores. Queuing for sucha thing seems exciting (...except when you are first one who doesn't get it)

Re: Stardew Valley Has Been Finalized on Nintendo Switch

Finntendo

Yeah so erm. First, instabuy..

First game on PC was erm... 150h or so (Harvey <3) ? It was really early and they've added so much stuff so I started another game.

It is so... addicting. "One more day... one more day" and then you've sat there for few hours.

Re: Soapbox: The SNES Classic Edition Pre-Order Farce Proves Nintendo Hasn't Learned A Thing

Finntendo

@Timppis
Ah, good it worked on GS, then it must have been VPD - they surely know how to rip off with populars (lol 85€ for Ness Amiibo). I know there was something because it was complained on FB.

I used Verkkis and they had their traditional 999€ and then it was set to 149€. I gambled with it where to place preorder - I live middle of nowhere so I have no chance to go to stores because there simply aren't stores. From closest Gigantti I was seeking something else when NES mini was released and some lady asked about it and the salesperson said nope and no idea if they get any.

Re: Soapbox: The SNES Classic Edition Pre-Order Farce Proves Nintendo Hasn't Learned A Thing

Finntendo

@Timppis

Well yes we have Switch in stock but at least Finland had SNES Mini preorders sold out quite fast (not in minutes but few hours) WITH AMAZING PRICE OF 160€! I think I preordered mine like an hour and half later after it was announced to start?

..except Gamestop (or VPD? Or both?) who took 99€ preorders and then sent out email saying need to pay more or their preorder will be cancelled XD

Re: Pokémon GO Cheaters Get A Nasty Surprise In The Latest Update

@DarkVortex

This is me. I do live in rural and there isn't even those rattatas When I go to store, there are...rattatas and speardows? Same and same and same again.

And when I remember to turn it on when going to walk and when I get home. Yay no metres at all!

But glad to see they are doing something to annoy cheeters

Re: First Impressions: Slicing Our Way Through Fire Emblem Warriors

Finntendo

@JTMnM

But this isn't Fire Emblem game. It's Warriors game with FE skin.

I mean. You cannot play this and say "oh I've played Fire Emblem!" becuse those are totally different.

But I am so excited about this. I enjoy hack and slash and I've loved Hyrule Warriors so much. It's kind "no need to think, just smash away" game.

Re: Nintendo UK Followers Choose Their Favourite Mario Kart 8 Deluxe Track

Finntendo

Big Blue
Cloudtop Cruise
Toad Harbour
Electrodome

Honorable mention: Baby Park XD

Big Blue.. I just love F-Zero and its music. And the way they've made that tune Mariokart-ish it's just great. Toad Harbour is gives you somehow happy feeling, Cloudtop Cruise I've always liked aaand Electrodome is something what is... very Mariokart-ish track.

Rainbow Road. Esp newest. Is. Awful.

Re: Poll: What Did You Think of the Splatoon 2 Global Testfire on Nintendo Switch?

Finntendo

I've played so much Splatoon. Mostly online.

"it is the same game" ..well umm. what makes you buy the other several game series?

What I've hoped for is 2-player online with split screen. Also if online playing is behind payment, are they reallly going to rely that much online like they did with first Splatoon?

For me I don't care if it's just enchanched version. I do feel like when they saw success of Splatoon, they started to concentrate to this one and just made neccessary updates for the WIiUgame.

More maps, more rotation to maps.

And I need to get pro controller. joycon thingie was not for my hands.

For the testfires? Ah yes, I am not good with charger so I end up rolling and testing out different ways to surprise with the special
Best ways probably having it ready, see opponent roller with it, wait it to jump and then jump right after them = you don't get splashed yet you splash them when you come down. BWHAHAHHAHA.

Re: Guide: Nintendo Switch Games And Accessories You Should Buy

Finntendo

@rjejr

I am very tired but what is the ..thing here? 256gb is the largest card currently right? (it says Switch supports 2tb but those don't exist). It's just that with new console, there will be lots of system updates and I don't want to be out of space.

I'll probably get bigger card quite fast. I have 1TB HDD with WiiU

Bubbles with screenprotectors are not a problem when you just install those right. I am bit annoyed that the ones on 3ds scratch pretty fast.

Not sure about pro controller yet.

Re: Opening Sales for Nintendo Switch in North America Set a New High

Finntendo

@Niinbendo

Almost like me. Preordered BOTW for WiiU "not getting Switch until Splatoon". Started to play BOTW on Sunday, monday hubby had gotten some refunds and he go so excited about Switch and I told him the cheapest price is actually in closest electronics store (close here means 50km) and there he went and he is so excited about Bomberman.

...too bad I broke the seal on BOTW a day before, otherwise I could have just returned that and order Switch version

ANYWAYS.... Oh how much they'd sold if they had proper stock
And this might be just problem of one chain here or small country, but when hubby picked up Switch yesterday, the only Switch game they had in stock was Just Dance. Rest was said to be arriving on Thursday.

At least they are now advertising and not pulling another WiiU "advertising.

Also @SLIGEACH_EIRE - So you don't have anything to say so you whine about Reggie even this news didn't have anything to do about Reggie?

Re: Some People Are Doing Naughty Things In Fire Emblem Heroes

Finntendo

@Raptor78

I dunno what's the fun in everything to me right now kind of playing?

Yes.. when I was 10 and played first DOOM, of course codes to get all keys and weapons were used because I was afraid of the creatures XD But now as older I do enjoy the playing itself and not just everything handed to me.

But ya.. my guess is also some naughty levelling up or unlimited orbs or other s...tuff.

Re: Tatsumi Kimishima Apologises for NES Mini Shortages, Cites Delays Procuring Parts

Finntendo

@NintySnesMan

WELL. First of all, playing from your phone some NES emulated games is.... well it's kind sad. And awful. Yes I've had my share of ROMs.
I tried to play FF that was ported to phone and it was just.. plain awful.
Also all the nice freebies you can get with those downloads <3

And again downloading ROMs are stealing (yes, I've been bad but stopped messing with those a long time ago).

As for stock.. they are so late. They really messed up the hype with once again lacking supply. Here it was already said in November that stores get restock MAYBE MAY.

Geez.

I did cancel my order for extra controller. Maybe some day.

Re: Rumour: Fire Emblem Fates Could Be Getting A Nintendo Switch Port

Finntendo

@Sinton

Yes. Esp PoR since I managed to buy RD for Wii before THE HYPE

I would not mind this.. or FE title to Switch in general, either way. I still haven't bought Fates because lack of money, now I'd have birthday discount but my ID is linked to older XL and I don't think it has the space for it since never bought bigger sd card (and have to figure out how to move data since it has FEA preinstalled).

Re: Breaking Down the Nintendo Switch Online Service Details

Finntendo

@ruinez

No need to swear at me. I did not see point why one game and one remake of (awesome) 20-yr-old game would stop people buying Switch? Maybe if those games would be multiplatform. So far Ninty has sold for its own games + 3rd party. Now 3rd party is coming back to Ninty so...

I own gaming PC, Nintyconsoles and PSs... doesn't stop me buying Switch. Making same console with same games three times would be stupid now wouldn't it?

Re: Poll: What Did You Think of the Nintendo Switch Presentation?

Finntendo

Well my trusted online retailer dropping bill from private people (don't have the money right now) and Shibata saying "relese in MAJOR European countries" means Europe will lack of stock.

But the hype is real. Will have to cope with WiiU version of BOTF first until I get €€€ needed. Also time to clear that WiiU backlog.

Also disappointed with lack of DQ Western releases D:

Now if only would hint to papers so we'd get ridicilous headlines... Like they once had this HUGE FONT IMPORTANT NEWS:

FACEBOOK IS DOWN! XD

ANYWAYZ...
I've had silicion grip for gamepad and it is nice so more these pop up but I can see buying something like that. Gamecard holder looks horrible.

...of course I need to dig money from somewhere to buy the whole dang Switch.

Re: Freshly Translated Interview with Miyamoto Gives Insight into the Development of A Link to the Past

Fave part? The whole game.

Never owned it, kid in the neighbourhood lent it to us.

...I even wrote the story at school to notebook on 2nd grade where we had to write stories (writing practise).. and when teacher asked if I had copied the story somewhere, I just bluntly lied that no (I guess names like Zelda, Ganon and Link gave it away.. not that she knew wwhere it was from but no Finnish 8-yr-old in the time with no internet comes up with such a names) XD

OH BUT THERE IS ONE OF THE WORST ZELDAENEMIES EVER!

I HATE YOU MOLDROM! YOU AND YOUR RANDOM PATTERNS!

:...otherwise I love, love, love, love that game and it is really sharing 1st place with OoT. And WW.

Re: Random: Store Employees Buy Wii U For Teen Who Visited Every Day To Play Smash Bros.

Finntendo

There is so many horrible things going on in the world that are constanty in the news and such. So much hate and being mean and selfish.

Something nice, something positive for a change and here half of people are bashing and whining and making it a bad thing.
Maybe you/your parents have money to throw to all the games and systems you want but not all.

It' slike good ol' days when SNES was thing and games so pricey that you coul MAYBE get one per year (on Christmas. Maybe). I was a kid during the early 90s economic depression and it wasn't fun times. New clothes? oh no, use the ones that are small for your older siblings. The joy when I got MY first pair of jeans. Mine.

So what if they wanted to boost their image? They made someone happy with it. Are you bitter no one gave you anything ever? Does it boost your own ego to bash it? Does it make you feel better to whine and complain and bash?

Good deeds will pay back some day.

As Finns have saying, if you are given with spoon, you cannot demand with ladle. (or something). Seems to suit many of you.
