I remember 10+ years ago you could pretty much always count on the first comment of any article saying “First Comment!”. Thankfully it’s far and few between nowadays.
A hell of a lot better than where we were just a few hundred years ago when we burned people alive because we thought they could do magic! I think we are in a good place today when you think about where we were.
@AtlanteanMan Mario Kart 8, Pikmin 3, and DKC Tropical Freeze were not dual screen intensive games. If Star Fox Zero were to have the same level of detail as Mario Kart 8, the frame rate would probably be bad.
@rjejr: I don't know what paper it was that you were reading but they need to get their facts straight. Jurassic World is NOT a remake of the original at all but a completely new sequel that takes place on the same island as the first one 22 years later. The movie is very different then the original. I would definitely recommend having your kids see the first movie first as it is an amazing classic. I have to say JW was very good as well, I really enjoyed it. JP 2 and 3 can be skipped.
@rjejr : Level skips ruin games. DKC 1-3 had no skips so why should they get added now? (Are gamers getting worse year after year?) The whole point is that your an ape on a difficult journey. The whole point of the game is to play through that journey. Level skips are for quitters imo
Anyway, after reading your posts I went back and played DKCTF on 2-2. Maybe you just need practice using Rambi? 2-2 is a very rambi focused level but all you really need to beat it is to practice dashing and jumping. Dixie seems to help, you can also give yourself 3 of those balloons that save you when you fall. No offense or anything but this level is pretty easy even without helping items. I just can't see where the problem is.
PS The music to this level just brings me straight back to Diddy Kong Racing
@Adam Items can no longer be trailed. I for one am ok with that change but this battle mode news is quite depressing. Its as if they just didn't want to put forth the extra time to make an insanely awesome battle mode. Instead we get something that was probably thrown together in a week :/
I don't get the Skyward Sword hate, for me it is right up there with Twilight Princess. And those games almost up there with MM and OoT. I haven't played Spirit Tracks yet but Phantom Hourglass (while fun) left me a little disappointed.
The ZREO team actually gave us their blessing to torrent it if you were unable to secure a copy.
"If you haven't already discovered, Twilight Symphony has been available via torrent since November 2012. We understand that out of loyalty and respect, many of you have avoided this as a means of obtaining the album. We sincerely appreciate that. It was our heartfelt desire to release the album through our record label, Joypad Records, via iTunes, and other digital outlets. Unfortunately, it appears that will not be happening, so we are not opposed to you finding an alternative means through which to obtain it. Ultimately, we just want you to have it for your enjoyment."
@3dbrains: You know, if you get the deluxe bundle you will get a small return on all your digital purchases. If you plan on downloading a lot of games, I'm sure the extra 50 bucks will pay for itself pretty quick.
I was totally going to buy 2 copies, one for me and one for my bro. Then after a few delays I lost interest. If the game would have had amazing reviews, that interest might have re-kindled but alas, it did not.
I'm not too fond of the win button either but to those that are really upset about it, you can get Super Meat Boy for less then half the price of NSMB2. There is no win button there and you will die over and over and over again. That is what you want right?
@Scissors: how excited were you really if you forgot to go? I was counting down the days! Would have taken a serious blow to head to get me to forget lol
I agree completely with Scissors, I do have retro goggles but an 8 seems a tad on the low side. Friends of mine who don't enjoy NES games even like this one. I might even say this game has aged better then any NES game except SMB3 and Kirby.
And.... isn't hand holding a bad thing? Pretty sure that is the most common complaint with skyward sword. I'm hoping the WiiU Zelda takes note of this game and doesn't explain how to do everything 5 different times in 5 different ways throughout the adventure :/ If you do get stuck you can always just look up a map on your 3DS browser
Ya I'm sure some of those games didn't make it because of the Wii's limited power. But I can't help but think we would have got some of those if the limit wasn't a mere 40mb (that is very small)
Anyways, it is a simple solution. Nintendo needs to raise the cap much larger AND Nintendo needs to include larger storage in its consoles/handhelds. Memory is getting cheaper and cheaper. Why Nintendo didn't include 8-16 gigs of flash memory in every 3DS console is beyond me. 8 gig flash drives are like 10 bucks...
