I played a bunch of For Glory through the weekend and everything is OK. That's lucky. I'll keep away from it now until they release somehing to patch this up.
Looks good, but I'm really short on cash after Smash, the GC controller adapter, Omega Ruby and Black Friday. I'll most definitely get it someday though.
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.
@ghasfarost I don't understand it either, why don't we have N64 VC yet? If we get it someday, I'm at least hoping that we won't have to wait for the release of every game that was already on the Wii VC before we get to stuff we never got, like DK64 and Mario Party 3.
I get my donkey kicked constantly by halfway decent people playing as Little Mac, and I'm not very good as him. I always end up killing myself with that side B.
I'll get it, because to me nothing matches the GC controller for Smash. And because I have a bit of hope that Nintendo will release updates giving GC controller support for other games. Probably misguided hope, but still.
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.
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.
I like this game quite a bit, but it's my least favorite of the trilogy. It's fun, but I like the more complex levels from the other two better. To me this one is a 8, DKC2 is a 10 and DKC3 is a 9.
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.
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.
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.
@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.
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.
That looks beautiful. I liked the Toad levels in 3D World, but I was a bit worried that the concept wasn't enough for a full game. If those pictures are any indication, it looks like the game is much more varied and expanded in comparison to the levels in 3D World. I should've expected that, but hey, I try to be cautious in order to not be disappointed. This looks promising.
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.
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.
Just wonderful. I have a real soft spot for everything GameCube related, so I love that I'll have a lot more use of the good old GC controllers for the near future. Not to mention it's a fantastic controller all around.
@Porky Which is a pretty big piece of information. The only thing we had was a picture of the Great Fox. Now we know it's based on a particular mission of Assault and that there's a lot more to the stage. It's worth the excitement, I would say.
Fantastic. The Arwing levels on Assault were a joy to play, and really stunning. I really hope they bring this song back, it's just perfect for space battles, and it played on the level in the game, as well: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lD8ABk3mUfA
I never really liked playing with the Ice Climbers, but I hate that the Wii U version in the end will lose things because it has to be equal to the 3DS one. I really hoped that wasn't going to happen. I hope that's the only thing they had to cut because of the 3DS.
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?
Also, I feel silly since I should've asked this before begging for a code, but do I need to be registered to Club Nintendo to use a code if someone gives one to me?

Re: Video: The Top 10 Mario Platformers, As Selected By You
Sunshine over 3? I really like Sunshine, but that's just weird.
I personally prefer SMG2 over the first. I just think it has better level design and less filler. The first is still sublime, though.
