Re: 1.5 Million Copies Of Pokémon Omega Ruby & Alpha Sapphire Sold In Japan Within Three Days

HorseRenoir

Can't wait to play it, mine will still take a while to get shipped. I just heard the new version of the Route 120 music, and nostalgia Falcon Punched me in the face.

And I'm pretty sure we'll get Z around next year or so. If they make a nice post-game (XY's was pretty much non-existent), give us Battle Frontier, and enough differences (I'm hoping it's like BW2, there was a lot of new stuff compared to the other third versions) I'll get it.

Re: Nintendo 64x64: Donkey Kong 64

Oh, I love this game. This was the Banjo-Kazooie/Tooie of my childhood, since I didn't play those back then for some reason. I loved the huge levels, the tons of variety in gameplay, the five Kongs and their abilities, the music... it's a full package for me. And very full, because this is one big game. I played it again last year and had a blast doing so. I didn't even care about the overt collectability of the game, I got almost everything without getting bored (OK, there are some tedious parts, but for a game this size, I was surprised how few there were for me)

And I only finished it last year, because I just could not beat that stupid one-life Donkey Kong arcade. All in all, I love this game, and I want it on the VC. And I want a new 3D DK game, not necessarily like this, but not necessarily not-like-this. Or something.

Re: Video: Super Smash Bros. for Wii U Opening Cinematic Revealed

HorseRenoir

It's all right. I just think the main theme of this game is a bit underwhelming, especially after coming from the ridiculously epic Brawl theme. The Brawl opening was, like this one, a bunch of SSE cutscenes (in the new one's case, character trailers) with some gameplay footage, but it was still pretty good mainly because the theme song made everything look epic. And this theme song for me it's just... OK.

Melee's is still the best for me, that's a awesome opening.

Re: Feature: Breaking Down Over 50 Must-See Things in Super Smash Bros. for Wii U

HorseRenoir

That was great, can't freaking wait. Also, I love that announcer.

And I'm guessing my 3DS copy will be left behind. I don't really think I'll even play it on the go that much. Still, I have over 100 hours on it,so I don't regret anything. And it will get me free Mewtwo.

I don't think they made this clear,though: will we be able to transfer the unlocked custom special moves from the 3DS to the Wii U? Because I REALLY don't want to have to unlock the ones I have again, the process is annoying as hell when half the moves you get are the ones you already have. That's a really bad design choice.

Re: Nintendo 64x64: The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask

Another Zelda thread, another bunch of comments saying which ones are underrated or overrated. I don't think there is another franchise so divisive among its own fans, it's kind of interesting.

To me, MM is the third best Zelda game among the ones I played.

Re: Nintendo 64x64: Pokémon Stadium

HorseRenoir

The first Pokémon game I played, I didn't have a Game Boy. I actually really liked it, I spent a lot of time raging and trying to win those damn tournaments. Thunder betrayed me a lot of times. And the minigames were just awesome.

Re: Nintendo 64x64: Paper Mario

HorseRenoir

@Nintendo_Ninja I don't mind them being different, I love Super Paper Mario. I just think Sticker Star is not a very good game. If it was better I wouldn't have a problem with it.

Re: Nintendo 64x64: Paper Mario

HorseRenoir

Oh, I love this game so much. I remember how stupid I was back then. I rented games, and didn't know how to start from the beginning, so I just chose the save files from other people. One of them was on Bowser's Castle. Yeah. I remember I got into a battle with some Koopatrols and just did crap like jump on their heads and use Star Beam repeatadly on them and be like "yay, I'm doing something!" The fact that I didn't know a lick of English didn't help.

I just really started playing it after a buddy came with a Nintendo magazine with a walkthrough that got me through the beginning and made me learn the mechanics. Then my dog shredded the magazine and I had to do the rest of the game on my own after Chapter 5, I think. Nowadays I think it's good that I did at least a part of the game on my own.

Sorry for the rambling, it's just that I love this series (first three anyway) and this game immensely. I like TTYD even better. Nintendo and Intelligent Systems, please do a REAL Paper Mario game again.

Re: Nintendo 64x64: Conker's Bad Fur Day

HorseRenoir

I played this one for the first time three years ago, I loved it. I think the only problem are some dated references, but the game is hilarious and it plays almost perfectly. Yeah. It's cliched to say this, but I miss the old Rare so much.

Re: Nintendo 64x64: Banjo-Kazooie

HorseRenoir

For some reason I didn't pay attention to this game as a kid. How wrong I was. Played it two years ago, and it's amazing. Just one more reason to miss the old Rare. I played Tooie as well, and I think I like it even more than the first. I was seriously hooked. They sure don't make them like that anymore.

Re: Nintendo 64x64: Mario Kart 64

HorseRenoir

I don't think this one aged very well. It's still fun, but to me the controls are kind of terrible compared to any MK that came after it. I'm still fond of it, played it a lot with my brothers.

May I ask, do you guys plan on doing something similar with the GameCube games in the future?
