Oh! And I also played the Zero demo on Wii U, which likewise was super fun. I'll definitely be getting the full game, but I'll try to find a disc in a used store first.
Assault is excellent. So underrated. I'm actually playing Adventures RIGHT NOW! I've owned the disc forever, but it would always freeze. I recently got an HD TV with s-video inputs, so I plugged in my GCN obviously. I figured I'd try running Star Fox Adventures again, and dagnabit it's worked perfectly. I'm enjoying the hell out of it. Society mislead me to believe it was bad. I blame them.
@SmaggTheSmug the only Castlevania I've played and completed is Aria. I very much enjoyed it. Then I tried Symphony. It's freaking impossible. I couldn't get past the first half hour, and I quit. For accessibility reasons alone, I would not recommend starting with Symphony.
This is a great topic, and I've thought about it a lot as well. To start the Yakuza series, I chose to begin with 0, not because it's the first chronologically, but it's supposedly the best. For Zelda, I would absolutely recommend WW as the first game. Ocarina and LTTP are fine choices too. For Metal Gear, I would have to recommend the first Solid. Twin Snakes if possible. Because the story is absolutely critical to enjoying those games and it's fun to see the gameplay evolution. Final Fantasy VII, though VI and X are good choices too. I'd recommend starting with Super Metroid for a few reasons, one being that it is actually the best game, but also that it is somewhat dated, and I think you'd enjoy Zero Mission, Fusion, and the others having started with Super.
I played through the demo and was not impressed. It was honestly boring. That said, I'm not the target audience. Maybe I would feel differently if I played through the whole game.
Wow! This is awesome news. I'm getting MM and RE for sure. I thought the demo for Revelations was really interesting. I could play it on PS4 or PC, but I'd actually rather play it on 3DS because it's so interesting.
I'm surprised there isn't more enthusiasm, relatively, for Sports. It's been a long time coming. Definitely my favorite announcement, with Chrono Cross a close second.
$25 for all of those tracks is actually really good. I think it's because tens of millions of people own the game and a ton of them will buy the DLC, so it's to their advantage to price it low.
@Zverik thanks. I actually found and read it already. Very interesting read. I'm most excited about the findings concerning the expansion pack this time.
I'm very excited to see what the data shows for the expansion pack. How many people subscribe, if HHD was a contributing factor, if they think it's worth the price, how much would they pay if it were cheaper, what games they would need to convince them, etc.
Yep, play it all the time. Just played through every 2D Metroid and Other M, and Pikmin 3. And was very much enjoying Nintendoland the other day. And I have a balance board. So I'm super excited about this.
Edit: actually I'm in NA. Apparently there isn't a way to fake a PAL login?
There's only ONE thing I want from Splatoon 3: the option to turn off motion aiming on the X axis. In Splatoon 1, motion controls would aim on the Y axis alone (up and down). You'd pan the recticule left and right with the analog stick. In Splatoon 2, motion controls aim both axes. Please correct me if I'm wrong. The controls in Splatoon 1 were perfect and is one of the many reasons the game is so brilliant. Motion aiming in Splatoon 2 is comparatively unplayable. This is all I want. This one option.
I attended this E3! As soon as the doors opened, every single person literally ran to Nintendo's both. The queue time was at least 3 hours. I played Wii Sports Tennis, which to this day was amazing. I also saw Will Wright show off Spore in a tiny room with like 10 other people.

Sensible Soccer is on Antstream Arcade. But if you go there, try Football Champ instead. It's better.
Re: Konami Looks To Change Its Name, Because Why Not
How messed up would it be for them to name themselves Kojima Productions? Or Foxhound?
Re: Poll: Are You Finding Sonic Origins' Various Editions And DLC Packs Confusing?
@Banjo- Oh I see, so it's just the design for the background. I'm more cool with that.
Re: Poll: Are You Finding Sonic Origins' Various Editions And DLC Packs Confusing?
Hold up, does letterboxed mode mean original 4:3? You have to preorder or pay for that? That's dumb.
Re: Talking Point: If Breath Of The Wild 2 Launched Alongside New Switch Hardware, Would You Upgrade?
Trick question! I still don't own a Switch specifically because I'm waiting for BOTW2 to launch with a new SKU.
Re: Talking Point: Is It Ever A Good Idea To Start At 'The Beginning' Of Series Like Zelda Or Dragon Quest?
@Anti-Matter the official Sly Cooper is possibly my favorite game. Easily top 5. It's perfect.

Re: The Pokémon Trading Card Design Competition Has Been Narrowed Down To 300 Finalists
This is awesome. They're literally all excellent drawings. Scizor is in my top 10, so that's particularly cool for me.

Launching to coincide with the Switch Pro. Confirmed.
Re: Talking Point: Should We Still Be Pre-Ordering Games?
I pre-ordered 3D All-Stars because it was a limited release. And I will be pre-ordering the next Zelda. That's it.

Re: Feature: 31 Best DSiWare Games You Should Get Before They're Gone Forever
@Eel I'm trying to find Petit Computer on my 3DS eshop. I'm seeing only SmileBASIC, which I guess is a sequel? Is it basically the same thing?
Re: The First Review For Triangle Strategy Is Now In
Lol great tagline (is that what you call it?) I don't know how y'all come up with this stuff. You should apply to Hard Times.

Re: Mario Kart 8 Deluxe Is Finally Getting DLC
$25 for all of those tracks is actually really good. I think it's because tens of millions of people own the game and a ton of them will buy the DLC, so it's to their advantage to price it low.
