Re: Review: Animal Crossing: Happy Home Designer (3DS)

I'll probably wind up getting this game, since I can buy it with the amiibo scanner. It looks decent, and my wife will probably like it. It looks like a decent world builder game. I've always wanted a great town, but was never able to invest too much time in it.

Question though. Are you able to customize the environment? Like where the stream and waterfalls go and what not?

Re: Mario History: Mario Kart Wii - 2008

This game is how I fell for my wife. I had some friends come over to the dorm, because they wanted to play the Wii. Some girls came with, and they started playing Mario Kart. I left the room, and when I came back, one girl was thrashing all of my friends - and using the motion controls, a feat I thought impossible. She later raced against me and kicked my tail using the Wii wheel again, which is no small feat since I had plenty of experience unlocking everything in the game.It was in those moments that she set sparks on my wheels, and in my heart. Now we play Mario Kart 8 together and she still beats me.

I hated collecting those 100 coin stars. They were always frustrating. Exploring the inside of Peach's castle was an amazing experience when I first booted the system up. I loved just running around and wall jumping around everywhere. Truly an amazing experience.

Re: Poll: Which Is The Best Super Mario Platformer? - 30th Anniversary Edition

Samuel-Flutter

This is what I came out of my Internet free cave for? That's it, I'm going back in.

Super Mario World is the very first video game I can remember playing (though my parents did have a ColecoVision). This and Zelda aLttP will probably always stand at the top of my favorite games list. That said I can appreciate how technologically superior the newer games are, and the advancements that older games have brought.

Re: Mario History: Super Mario 64 DS - 2004

Samuel-Flutter

Ah yes. The first game I played on the DS. I always did hate that thumb strap. I hear this plays much better on the 3DS with the circle pad. I did manage to beat it though, but for the sake of nostalgia I did prefer the original. I do hope this is ported to the virtual console, since my brother has the copy I played.

Re: Review: Devil's Third (Wii U)

@Lord First of all, Animal Crossing Happy Home Designer is selling fairly well in Japan, so I don't know if that is a terrible game or not. Secondly It kinda seems to me that the games you listed that were terrible are just games in genres you don't enjoy. That doesn't necessarily mean it's a bad game. Except that amiibo tap. It's not even a real game, just glorified demos.

Re: Mario History: Super Mario Sunshine - 2002

Samuel-Flutter

@Takerkaneanite6 I would definitely recommend it. Some would argue that it's the worst 3D Mario, but being the worst 3D Mario is still an amazing game. I thoroughly enjoyed it. The levels are more open and spread out like Mario 64, which I preferred over the linear style of Mario Galaxy. It was probably my favorite GameCube game.

Re: Mario History: Super Smash Bros. Melee - 2001

Samuel-Flutter

I can remember fighting my way to Giga Bowser only to get pummeled. I eventually got it and was so proud. Later I was showing my friend. I got to the end without losing a life and let him fight against Bowser. He had no idea about Giga Bowser. After beating regular Bowser, when Giga showed up he was so terrified he ran to the left to commit suicide. But Giga Bowser beat him to it with a Bowser bomb off the side. I don't know if I was angry that my friend won so easy, or laughing hysterically at what had transpired. It was good times.

Also same friend lost his save data, so I unlocked all the characters for him in one night. Happened again the next week, and that's when I realized I could've just copied my save data.

Re: Mario History: Mario Tennis - 2000

Samuel-Flutter

@Yellowkoopa I came in to ask that same question.

I enjoyed the story mode to the handheld Mario Sports games. It made the solo nature of the experience better. Plus you were able to transfer yrou characters over and play with them on the 64 if memory serves.

Re: Mario History: Super Mario World - 1991

Samuel-Flutter

This was the very first game I played. It was Mario World and A Link to the Past that made me Nintendo fans. That being said, I can't help but notice the first screenshot isn't from Super Mario World. Goombas weren't in the game, just Galoombas.

Re: Mario Memories: Super Mario RPG Opens Up The World (and a Boss's Big Mouth)

Samuel-Flutter

This was the very first RPG I played, and it hooked me on the genre. I was attracted to it by the 3D rendered sprites, my little mind couldn't handle the awesome that was "3d Mario". So when I saw this in Toys R Us, I saved until I could buy it. I'm just glad I stuck with it, because it opened me up to a brand new genre.

In retrospect though, most RPGs fail to hook me the same way. I believe it has to do with timed hits. It made the battles more interactive. Which is generally why I enjoy RPGs with little twists to battle mechanics. Legend of Dragoon, Paper Mario, Tales of Symphonia, Mario and Luigi, etc... Not to say traditional isn't bad, after all Chrono Trigger is my favorite game of all time. But I suppose the ATB gauge works in that sense.

Re: Video: Drench Yourself in Splatoon's New Rainmaker Mode

Samuel-Flutter

@rjejr Hah. No but I did have a teammate that did that, which caused us to lose in overtime.

I grabbed it after it exploded, and my teammates all died. So I stood in the middle just shooting people. Didn't know I was suppose to go anywhere.

And when I did make it to the enemies base, I had no idea where I was suppose to put it.

Re: Video: Drench Yourself in Splatoon's New Rainmaker Mode

Samuel-Flutter

Rainmaker is my favorite ranked mode by far. I'm not going to lie, I had forgotten the update was happening and when the squid sisters announced the mode while playing I immediately tried it out. I was the first to get the rainmaker, and had no idea what I was suppose to do. So sorry if anyone was one my team.

Re: Exclusive: MercurySteam Has Been Working On A Metroid Prototype For Wii U And 3DS

Samuel-Flutter

@crzysortagamer Well Metroid Federation Force will answer that need for a 3DS online Metroid Shooter. As for well populated, that remains to be seen.

@FX29 The gameplay of Other M really sold the game to me. Metroid is just as much platforming as it is Shooter. While I liked the Prime games, I thought Other M had better gameplay. If the used a 3rd person control set up similar to Splatoon, I believe they could make an amazing 3rd Person 3D Metroid.
