Re: Review: Kid Icarus: Uprising (3DS)

@mushroomer That review is, at best, inaccurate. It hardly touches on many key points of the game, and reads as if the reviewer played the game for an hour or two and scrapped it because he didn't like the controls. Compared NLife's review, it is a terrible excuse for journalism and I give it no credibility.

@warioswoods Yes, I used the Tanooki power-up as frequently as it was presented to me in-game, which was nearly every 10 steps. I suppose I should try without it, I really would like a challenge.

@sinalefa If there is no difficulty, it ruins the sense of fun for some gamers. Mindlessly running through levels is not very satisfying for me.

The first run through of SM3DL is beyond easy, and after beating Bowser I have no incentive to get past the first 4 worlds of the "more difficult" run through that I completed in only 3 hours.

The level design of the game is absolutely brilliant, but I could hardly enjoy it when I beat nearly every level in one quick playthrough. Even most of the Star Coins were easy to pick up on the first run through each level.

Re: Get Your Pokémon Sequels Teaser Trailer Here

If the R/S remakes (which i didn't really want) are included with this game, I'll probably cave. Pokemon has some sort of hold on me. Just looking at the new Pokemon makes me want the game, even though I am disappointed it isn't for 3DS.

I passed on Platinum, but if these are different games than B/W I may not be able to skip them.

Re: Pokémon Black & White Version 2 Announced

@black-kyurem And how do you know this isn't Game Freak just sticking to the same formula? Just because it isn't called Grey version doesn't mean it won't be exactly like every game in the series. And it also doesn't mean it won't be different.

Re: Talking Point: Achievements, Trophies and Wii U

Radixxs

I don't like achievements. I don't hate them, I just think they are artificial "fun" and only work in arcade-like games. I would not like some notification popping up whenever I do something pointless and minor when I'm playing Zelda. And most of them are just that: pointless and minor.

Re: Review: The Last Story (Wii)

Radixxs

I love RPGs such as Chrono Trigger and Radiant Historia, but I have never played a cinematic action RPG such as this with voice acting, etc. I'm not sure I would enjoy it, but this has me very much intrigued, if anything. When this gets announced for NA, my quest for information will begin.

Re: Pokémon Director Teases Something for Sunday

Radixxs

It will take a large difference from B/W to make me buy it. And I'm not talking 1 new Pokemon or area.
@Highwinter: I agree completely. As much as I loved Gold and Silver, I couldn't get into HeartGold. I am just tired of the same game, which I honestly never expected as I am and have been a huge Pokemon fan.

Re: Welcome to the New Look Nintendo Life!

The only thing I dislike so far is that the recent forum posts on the main page are somewhat hidden. I use that box quite often. A simple slide upwards would probably do the trick. Canning the flags is a good move IMO, potential bias/prejudice is nearly eliminated. I really love the new position of the NLife logo, as simple as it may sound.
