@Chunkboi79 That's what turned me off about Dark Cloud 2 on the PS2 as well. I enjoyed the immediacy of Dark Cloud one's introduction compared to #2. But yeah, once you get past this condescension, both DQ Builders 2 and Dark Cloud 2 really become better than its progenitors
I kid you all not when I say that I witnessed a grandma shopping at a GameStop talking about beating and playing games like she's still a young adult (albeit one who uses euphemisms for, ahem, curse words). I believe she even mentioned something about a game like Dark Souls being 'too easy'.
If I believe that, then I can believe that any grandma can beat any Zelda game any day
@Damo Ah, great....Yoshinoro Ono is back at ruining Street Fighter games, this time throwing his Turd Strikes at an old game that didn't really need improvement, for an Ultra-ludicrous price for this kind of scam
@LordGeovanni You're right. The updates make the game LESS playable, so there's the option to stop playing, and LOOK NIANTIC, I'M NOT LOOKING AT THE SCREEN NON-STOP ANYMORE!!!
@SLIGEACH_EIRE You do realize that people will be tempted to spend what little McDonald's paycheck money they have on the latest Call of Duty this holiday season, rather than saving up for a Nintendo console that may or may not be superior to the Wii U, right? There is going to be TOO MUCH competition for Nintendo during that time, so I believe it is WISE to delay it until there is less competition. After all, people can easily use their Tax Refunds on a brand-new system!
@foodmetaphors Don't listen to these idiots! Yoshi Story is DIFFERENT from Super Mario World 2, and has an innovative approach to level unlocking and selection that changes the way you play the game every time! I used to rent this and play it all the time and loved it more every time I plopped that cartridge into my Nintendo 64! BUY IT NOW, or you're a pleb just like these losers who didn't get it!
Seeing as this is the 3DS version, I read about players complaining that the PC and PS4 versions of the Legacy Collection are experiencing input delay between when you press a button and when Mega Man does something. Is this the case here, or is it fixed? If the former, then I'd rather get the games individually in the eShop--in fact, I already have!
@bofis Sucks to suck! I'm pretty good at the crane and managed to get quite a few good badges! The only reason I paid money was for the exclusive theme that goes well with 8-bit Mario badges.
All these people were wondering why Pirate Stage wasn'the included before, but I say...the less we mention Brawl, the better......and then we're still reminded byou that crappiece of a game with this DLC! URGH, FINE! But give us more 64 stages, okay?
@StaticWind The Perpendicular Movement mechanic is removed in Smash 4 in favor of having to press the Control Stick directly against your fly movement, which is a lot more natural and sensible!
FM Chip FTW! Oh man, how do you connect to the Japanese eShop? Is it as simple as changing the language, or is it as impossible as affording a Japanese 3DS?
All of these are problems with modern gaming. Sadly, we support these games year after year, and even indie games such as Fez have at least one of those problems.
@LuigiMan 200 With that money, I can try to buy Rareware from Microsoft, but I'm afraid that I'm not experienced enough in business to get a good deal out of that. Still, I like to see Rareware free from Microsoft's BS.
Anyone wanna try this with Gold Parts? I think I'll start with my "best" parts while using my Mii, and if it turns out to be easy for me, then I'll continue with the Gold Tires and Gold Glider.
Warren Spector is, and was an overrated hack even since Deus Ex. I agree with Tom Chick with this one, though I don't just see crates. I see a game ruined by Ion Storm's lack of team morale and Spector's bloated pride in himself for being in the same building as John Romero. I don't think he's learned much from those days, hence producing inferior Mickey games.
However, because Warren Spector has almost nothing to do with the 3DS game, I thought the demo for that was fine.
@Kitsune_Rei Really!? I was able to find clouds in a pitch-black room! Before every cloud-capturing session, the game shows a map of approximate locations of the clouds. What I do is that I hold the 3DS up (elbows on the seat handles), and when the crosshair shows, I move the 3DS a certain number of degrees depending on where the map shows the + signs representing clouds.
@Geonjaha True, except for the fact that there are only 21 Pokemon you can get from the Dream Radar. There is still plenty of Pokemon for you to actually catch in-game.
Oh, fudge! While I was learning the basics of video game development in college, I unwittingly tried to make a Pac-Man clone that has to do with cops and robbers before even knowing about Lock 'N' Chase! Looking at this game makes me ashamed to admit that my game sucks compared to Lock 'N' Chase. Mine's buggy and virtually unplayable, while this game is actually fun. Data East, I salute you. Nintendo, thanks for humbling me.
I checked the Official Nintendo Magazine online article on this, and it seems that European Ambassadors are getting different games from the American ones. Take my words with a grain of salt.
