@dleec8 i also feel you don't have to finish every game. Sometimes dialogue drags or difficulty gets too much for me, and then onto the next game. If I had an hour or 2 of fun and didn't pay over $20 (first party, $5-$10 for those lower prices), I would say the time was worth it.
Wait for sales. Sucks I don't think Nintendo nindies will have another humble bundle but retro city rampage is a classic. I did have fun with owlboy as well, not sure if their 1 day sale was also for the switch as I got it for steam.
Same happens for me with Comics. Enough slow days will happen to catch up, but no point being first for a game when you got 10 others to play, unless there is a sale to make it affordable, and sometimes word of mouth or extra footage helps avoid a game I may not like (circle entertainment doesn't do the 3rd game well imo with mercenaries saga 3 or legend of the dark witch 3).
We're also at the final quarter of the year, so Halloween, Black Friday, and Christmas sales are in the runnings as well. Of course eBay helps too, given game lots or what have you, possibly older/cheaper systems too, and Gameflip for those eShop cards on sale.
@BensonUii lol we need a Gameboy DS. Why couldn't the new one remodel that and have a buncha virtual games preinstalled? 4 swords, super Mario land 2, Pokemon gold and fzero gp legend/climax would've been golden.
@zet sure, limited time what difference does it make so long as someone or something can make you happy? Reminds me of that star wars fan. I hope Nintendo does the right thing and gives him early access.
@MoonKnight7 that would have been a great idea, a car from Battle and Chase, or the bike/ride armor from the X games. Surprised star wars didn't sue with that Vile Boba Fett ripoff lol.
@Tyranexx free to start should be worth a try. Graphics remind me of the alliance alive/legend of legacy, hopefully it doesn't have awful dialogue. Gonna preregister myself
@Uzukage did you play Nexomon? I had a lotta fun honestly, and enjoy the plot over repetitive gym/gang (team for the kids) busting. It won't be taken down for copyright infringement. Point is, I'm not going to pay Nintendo to rip me off.
Why would I pay for virtual consoles for super Mario Bros 1-3 and world when super Mario all stars + world has them all and costs less at $15 on eBay? Super Mario run was done well, but if it sucked, I would've just said to play Suzy cube instead.
At least they did a better job with game diversity as opposed to the neo geo mini which might as well be called king of fighters mini with 7 king of fighters games on international and 10 on Japan. I bought their official humble bundle for far less as well and got more diverse games.
I'm just upset when people want to say I support piracy on affordable platforms. Movies these days are $5-$8 with memberships/matinee, and rentable online for the most part; I don't even know how the bootleggers still profit. Same with comixology unlimited $6 and all the comics sales.
I'm glad Nintendo picked up on the sale bandwagon last year, and has Nintendo selects for people who know nothing about games to get quality 3ds/Wii U games for their grand/children, at an affordable $20. When will that occur on the switch?
@Uzukage you completely misread what I said: the old Pokemon games are $10 when i could get remakes for around the same price, which Nintendo will not make available digitally, while shutting down roms which is financial suicide in my opinion. Why would I stop people like you from supporting bad ideas? I have better games to play than resort to censorship and money may be no object to you.
@Uzukage lol I'm waiting for the justification of that poor switch subscription and no virtual console remakes like HeartGold/FireRed. Not paying $10 for an old original when remakes can be gotten easier online.
@CptProtonX lol it was essential. And on that note of their douchebaggery I will play Nexomon and have more fun. Surprised people didn't get tired of getting badges, though I liked Pokemon ranger: guardian signs as a text heavy change of pace to draw circles like John Madden.
@Pod I meant as an MMO lol we also need rts toads vs koopas a la plants vs zombies. I mean dragon quest had a skin for a strategy rpg and Mario with those rabbids so why not. I just hope they don't remake all these games as often as star wars or street fighter.
I played the demo and loved it. I just wish this review explained the appeal of the game rather than compare versions. Basically you unlock a lot of things through puzzles. First level was as golden as original 1-1 of super mario bros, getting the hammer was like going down my 1st pipe. I got coins, then on the 2nd replay I broke the pow block and hidden block on 3rd replay to get other treasures. Excellent way to make replay value.
Of course they won't do a virtual console unlimited with $5/month for a nintendo system. Buncha hypocrites. I'm fine with the free trial games and payment removes stamina/gives gem doublers.
@justin233 Nintendo is just greedy with old games no one plays; even Pokemon tcg is free and you get a ton kf stuff if you buy digital packs, worth far more than old base set Pokemon tcg while not bothering to officially translate the sequel that fans have.
The Indies did this completely free a few weeks ago. Thankful for noitu love 2.
@OdnetninAges lol better than nothing. But it is confusing with all these properties. Wonder what concept makes that is mighty and is theirs besides this scam?
@OdnetninAges yeah no idea why they don't let backers choose another game to get a download code of. I know mighty is $20 but it's a ripoff to do nothing and not explain, refund nor give away other games/versions.
@AlbertXi lol Nintendo is too dense to bundle systems with free digital games or even $10 eShop for Nintendo games, which gets stupid with Pokemon being $10 as a game boy game, not the remakes, which won't be on Virtual console. Other than that quick price drop to piss off first buyers for 3ds.
@HappyRusevDay sure, I have no idea why gameflip doesn't get big advertisement for the on sale Nintendo eShop cards. Even with the processing fee you can sometimes save about 10-15% off. There are even store credit promos as well. I just use prime for the free movies, books and twitch games. Unless you need that preorder bonus, waiting for a price drop or buying yesteryear stuff (I pity those who bought the new 3ds with hardly any support/3d in its twilight) for much less and hopefully helping individuals pay bills rather than feed a machine. Some lots and prices are nice too. If I had more free time I may even get rpg maker fes, though I feel PC's for a bigger interface and using custom sprites is far better. I did see eBay once had someone sell Metroid 2 Samus returns with the amiibo codes already in the game, so you wouldn't have to buy those. Just a point.
@Heavyarms55 it's penis measuring honestly. Plus they ran through so many women they got bored of having to make it rain for them. We can be like these greedy bastards or give like LeBron James (but do what you can).
That Amazon dialogue screenshot was cringeworthy. Equally formidable men, only wanting invitations of challenges. Guess that is feminism 101, I'll pass.
@Franklin lol I hardly even knew about the gameplay based on the review too. I think it's a puzzle game though I remember it being slow in general, but yeah those screenshots look ps1 era.
@Savino game of the year and annual fighting/sports games should keep the prices low. No way I would pay full price for all those damn Street fighter 4 versions, dunno if SF 5 went into that domain of editions too.
@Gen0neD lol this is like Capcom Street fighter v without arcade mode during initial launch. Awaiting season pass for Mii/classic tennis. That is what Wario would do.
@BlueOcean lol and they took the 3d away in the twilight of the new 3ds. I just hope today's kids can be educated about bad dlc and pay to win games, especially team kirby clash deluxe. The gameplay won't change but it is a modern day quarter muncher. I would quit after putting enough for an eShop game, and pay for stuff on Sundays to get double.
The 3ds remake made the best changes for gunstar heroes; only 3d series game I would say outdoes emulation. Mega life to double life and gunslinger to pick on the fly for a weapon combination rather than pray to the contra weapon gods. These were also optional, and I believe mega shot to double damage kinda nerfed things if you beat the game so up the difficult if you use it.
@Folkloner yeah I don't get this,I mean breath of the wild isn't on the 3ds. Only a couple games left for that system, and the 3d part is dead as even superstar saga is not in 3d.
