Re: Picross e2 Set For July Release in North America, e3 Arrives in September

Marioman64

woooo! more picross!

btw, I think they kept the puzzles at 15x15 because people were too dumb to figure out how to smoothly control the 25x20's in the ds version. use the control pad people. if you tap to choose the paintbrush and tap a block it'll scroll on it's on and that's bad. hold up and touch to paint, hold down and touch to erase, let go to scroll. easy

Re: Feature: Taking A Look Back At The Nintendo 64 Rumble Pak

Marioman64

@SteveW ...games without rumble? why would anyone do that? loud sounds create bass effects in your speakers and your ears FEEL that, so why can't they add the same factor of immersion for game events that shake?
personally I love the added weight the rumble pack adds, and then I go to play with it off and I'm like "omg it's too light"

Re: Soapbox: Why Region Locking Is A Total Non-Issue

Marioman64

"Just look at Pandora’s Tower, Xenoblade Chronicles and The Last Story. All risky RPGs with lots of text to translate, but they were localised all the same." hahaha yeah, after everyone and their dog created an uproar and begged

also, I would have NEVER been able to play Daigasso Band Brothers DX if DS games had been region locked, and you might say "but wait, wasn't there a version released in Europe? Jam with the Band? (I'm in the USA btw, it still hasn't gotten here I don't think)", well, the song selection is totally different, I would never have had access to all the Jpop and anime songs I love so much, and I don't need to know japanese to play a music game or a platformer

Re: Project X Zone Battles Into UK Top 20 in Debut Week

Marioman64

I love PXZ so much! I got it and have been playing it nonstop (i'm about 19 hours into it so far). I never really got into fire emblem, but the interactive battles make it feel like a mix of the "Tales of" series and a fire emblem that I can actually enjoy. it's so good ^.^

Re: First Impressions: Wii Party U

Marioman64

omg tank game! i'm assuming it means move like a tank the right stick rotates the tank (clockwise right, counterclockwise left) and the left stick moves the tank forward and backward? I hate when people get mad at tank controls. just because up down left right doesn't make something move up down left right on the screen doesn't mean it's wrong.

anyway I should get this, and the wii one

Re: Another 3DS System Update Goes Live

Marioman64

@CrissCross87 when I was at college it was literally impossible to connect to people online. I think they had peer to peer connections blocked which makes online work, so check what your connected to, and if you own it, fix it

Re: Another 3DS System Update Goes Live

Marioman64

ok, WHY do people keep asking for miiverse on the 3ds? it's going to be super slow, and the 3ds doesn't even have a Nintendo ID protected system, so how is that even going to work. I was baffled enough Nintendo announced it was even coming to the 3ds, i didn't realize it was that powerful that it could suspend a game and go into a full-fledged app of its own. I guess we'll see.
also, Nintendo I want to give you my money for streetpass things but I can't

Re: First Impressions: Yoshi's New Island

Marioman64

bah! yoshi's island always gets bashed for it's art style. I love it and I'll always love it.
also, it's clearly not done yet, so they probably still need to iron out the 3d effects in a bunch of places
I'll be getting this day one regardless of anything

Re: First Impressions: Sonic Lost World

Marioman64

hey I liked unleashed's night stages, because I love hack and slash platforming. just because they technically don't count as "sonic-like-things" doesn't mean they can't be fun on their own merit
but yeah sonic unleashed is like the mario party 9 of sonic to me. fun, good spinoff, but don't do it again

Re: Hands On: StreetPass Plaza's Downloadable Content

Marioman64

from some random site: "...So what about North America? The official word from Nintendo is that they’re “looking into” the new StreetPass Mii Plaza content for the states. Not exactly any kind of definitive answer, but you’d have to think that it will head over eventually."
