Re: New 3DS System Update Gives the eShop a Spit and Polish

Shotgunryugan

Just updated mine, didn't have any problems, though i never really get any glitches or freezes when updating my 3DS, maybe it depends on the system? I got mine on January 2012.

Anyway, the internet browser did receive an update, it runs a bit faster and they changed the loading screen bar(now it's at the top of the screen and is more tiny compared to the ugly previous one).

Re: Review: Naruto: Powerful Shippuden (3DS)

Shotgunryugan

@ErnisDy There are bosses:
Sasuke, Orochimaru, Tobi, Deidara, Kisame, Kakuzu, Pain, Kakashi, Might Guy, Rock Lee(clone), Dark Naruto.

^ I think that's about it, unless I'm forgetting someone, you can replay missions with things called "Personal Goals" which does give it replay value, plus after getting a bunch of those cleared up you get Hidden S Rank missions, though they do take a lot to unlock, I've only gotten 4(2 for Naruto and 2 for Rock Lee).

There is an Endless Battle, which is really easy if your character is level 100
So far i haven't lost any, you can quit at any time and resume later, I'm at around 50+ endless battles currently.

You do unlock new power/attacks:
The Sage Mode, Demon Fox Chakra mode, Rasen Shuriken, Rasengan Barrage, Massive Rasengan, Demon Fox Rasengan, among others(don't expect much though).

There is no multiplayer, the bosses do get tougher(you fight them multiple times), especially on Endless Battle.

I beat the main game in a day, but i still haven't 100% it, there are QR codes that unlock new support characters, but none have been released for US and there's only 1 in Japan(which doesn't work in the US version).

Anyway long post, I agree with most of the review except for the "Stiff" controls, i didn't have a problem with it, but to each their own i guess.
I do agree with the score though it's definitely a 6 or 7.

I have to add that i loved the dialogue, probably the best part of the game, especially loved the Sasuke conversations and Naruto telling him he has a serious brother complex

Finally, something weird, when i registered the game on my Club Nintendo account it said "Thanks for Purchasing Naruto Shippuden: The New Era" and then when i finished the survey it says "Thanks for Purchasing Naruto Powerful Shippuden" O.o

Re: Review: The King of Fighters '98 (Wii Virtual Console / Neo Geo)

Shotgunryugan

This was the game that introduced me to one of my favorite fighting games, if not my favorite.

Though technically i played the Ultimate version, i had the game on X-box 360 before it died on me :/

I'm going to miss playing as Orochi, but just being able to pick the Orochi versions of the other characters without inputting some annoying codes is worth it enough for me.

Orochi Leona, Orochi Shermie here i come again after buying '97 last time

Re: Capcom: Resident Evil Revelations 3DS Sales Could Have Been Better

Shotgunryugan

Kinda disappointing to hear it didn't sell well.
I bought it last month,it was $20 new and it has been one of my most played 3DS game in a long time,though "Raid Mode" isn't really the best thing out there(still prefer Mercenaries).

My only complaints will have to be that the glitches were rather annoying(What's the point of the rifle if you're in a long distance and the game doesn't register the hits?),the elevators disguised as loading screen really bothered me,since the frame rate drops tremendously,the characters survived impossible odds(even for a videogame) and finally none of the story elements in the game matter right now,because nothing here was present during RE6 >.>

Regardless i recommend this game to all 3DS owners,now if only Capcom could go back to it's roots and give us a true "Survival Horror"

Re: Nintendo Download: 31st January 2013 (North America)

Shotgunryugan

So Retro City Rampage missed the release date again? more delays?
Bleh,i was very patient for this game,but it has gotten to the point were i no longer care for it.

I am interested in MS4,i have MS2 and MS3 already on the Virtual Console,i also need to get the original and MSX sometime.

I am also interested in Fire Emblem after reading the review,might be my first FE game.

Re: Review: Scribblenauts Unlimited (3DS)

Shotgunryugan

Even though i am disappointed by the lack of editor and Nintendo characters(which pretty much makes this one the watered-down port),I am still buying it since i won't be wasting my money on a Wii U any time soon and the Laptop i am currently using won't run the PC version well at all,already confirmed that when i tried playing Street Fighter X Megaman >.>

Re: Latest Iwata Asks Episode Reveals Why Paper Mario Sticker Star Abandoned RPG Elements

Shotgunryugan

Eh...thanks for making me have doubts about purchasing the game,i hate the whole idea about limited stickers.

I enjoyed the first 3 games(yes even Super,i didn't find it quite as bad as most people make it out to be),but i really have doubts about the whole sticker system and none of the reviews have sold me the game yet,might buy it if i find it cheap someday.

But for me the best and most memorable Paper Mario is Thousand Year Door(Gamecube),great game

Re: Review: Scribblenauts Unlimited (Wii U)

Shotgunryugan

@erv Oh believe me,Scribblenauts has become a lot more fun since the first game,now with better controls adjectives,a backpack to make it easier to get your favorite items and object editor(which you can also create your own avatar).

Speaking of which,yesterday i saw an 8 hour stream of the pc version,you can make a lot of non "E" rated stuff,if you are creative

While i don't have the Wii U(so i won't buy this version),i will be buying the much,much,much,much inferior 3DS version(mainly because i don't have a computer of my own sadly,so no object editor for me ).

The game is a bit on the easy side,but who plays scribblenauts for the levels anyway? XD

I found the story a bit stupid though,Maxwell could have easily saved Lily with his notebook >.>

Although i have to say,their parents are like rabbits,very sexually active,someone needs to write "condom" or something lol.

Oh and sadly typing "naked" no longer makes your character naked,it just gives you a censor for your body,though "Liquid Butt" is still a word apparently and so is "Chastity Belt" not sure if that is "Family-Friendly",considering what it is >.>

As for the Nintendo characters,at first i was excited to see them,but you can't really experiment with them,so no fun >.>

The pc version is definitely the way to go,besides if you want Nintendo characters you can easily make them in the object editor,it's really cheap compared to the rest + typing in the keyboard is always better than clicking on a screen.

Re: Review: Ninja Master's: Haō Ninpō Chō (Wii Virtual Console / Neo Geo)

Shotgunryugan

@PinkSpider I don't know,but NeoGeo should keep them coming,Fighting games are my favorite genre and it's always nice to try out new titles(because let's be honest all we had at first were a gazillion Street Fighter 2 games and the so-so ClayFighter games.

I'll definitely check this one out,i am on a mission to try out every NeoGeo fighter,especially since i have found some really good ones(namely The Last Blade games ).

Re: Official Youtube App Launches On The Wii In North America

Shotgunryugan

Oh wow,just downloaded it,a lot better than i was expecting,the quality is definitely there.
The video i am watching right now is Ke$ha's Die Young and it does look much better than it does on the Internet Channel
Sadly i get an advertisement box on one corner of the screen from VEVO,not sure how to get it out of there >.<

Re: Official Youtube App Launches On The Wii In North America

Shotgunryugan

I for one welcome this app,i don't have a computer of my own and i don't even have a phone(yes i have been living under a rock).
So using this app without needing the Internet Channel should be good,i hope it's good kinda got tired of 240p quality after a couple of years...
Gonna download this now,thanks for the update!

Re: LEGO Lord Of The Rings Dated For 3DS, Wii And DS In Europe

Shotgunryugan

I bought the DS version very recently because Toy's 'R' Us was having a sale of 2 3DS/DS games for $40.
Sadly they didn't have the 3DS version so i bought the DS version alongside Lego Batman 2(3DS).
It's VERY disappointing,not a bad game by any means,but you can tell they definitely made it for a quick cash-in.
Lego Batman 2 on the other hand was wonderful,probably my favorite Lego game since the Starwars games(on Gamecube).

Re: Miyamoto Puzzled As To Why Anyone Would Want A New F-Zero

Shotgunryugan

O.o I've been waiting for a new F-Zero for years,don't know what the franchise needs,but i would just like a new game with new tracks and such.
F-Zero is my favorite racing game franchise,some people might be put-off by the difficulty but i personally love it.
Though i'll agree with @WaveWitch F-Zero GX felt generic.

Re: Review: The Last Blade 2 (Wii Virtual Console / Neo Geo)

Shotgunryugan

Great review,i bought the first one and loved it,when i get the chance i'll buy this one,a bit disappointed that 1 of the boss characters and the bamboo stage from the first game didn't make it to the sequel though

If i recall correctly this is the last game in the series,shame such a fun franchise ended so early.

Also it's worth mentioning that one of the new characters(Setsuna)plays almost exactly like Iori from the KOF franchise

Re: Review: Pokémon Black and White 2 (DS)

Shotgunryugan

I'll have to look into this one later on,i liked White version,although i still need to buy Platinum and one of the Gen 2 remakes

I'm liking that challenge and easy mode options,more games should have that,great review!

Re: Review: Real Bout Fatal Fury 2: The Newcomers (Wii Virtual Console / Neo Geo)

Shotgunryugan

I bought this alongside The Last Blade,a few days ago,it's a really good game and my first Fatal Fury game.

Although i kinda dislike the "sway" system,it honestly interrupts the fighting for me,i was playing it earlier and i was using Blue Mary and just when i was about to hit Terry with a flying kick he went into the background >.<

I prefer King of Fighters '98 as my favorite fighter,but this one is really good and should not be missed,the characters look great.

Although is it just me or does Blue Mary look just like Android #18 from DragonBall Z?

Re: Review: The Last Blade (Wii Virtual Console / Neo Geo)

Shotgunryugan

I bought it around 2 days ago after reading this review,simply fantastic,i love fighting games and this has quickly become one of my favorites.
I especially love how you can cut in-half people on the last round,kinda like a fatality.

By the way for anyone that wants to use the 2 boss characters here's a code that you can use on the character select screen to unlock them(you have to do it in like 3 seconds,it's easy though):
C,C,C,C,C,C,B,B,B,C,C,C,C.
I am using the Gamecube controller so if you are like me(without changing the control scheme) it should be:
X,X,X,X,X,X,A,A,A,X,X,X,X.
If you did it correctly you'll notice arrows on the side,go there and the characters should be able to use,sadly the code doesn't save,so you'll have to input them every time you want to use them :/

Re: Dr. Mario Online Rx Makes Club Nintendo Members Feel Better

Shotgunryugan

@MetalMario Yeah it was offered before,i bought it too.

Not using my coins on anything right now,i have zero interest in Bird & Beans and i already own Dr.Mario.

I kinda wish they would just let us use coins on games they previously offered that we may have missed(i missed quite a lot because i made my club nintendo account this year).

Re: La-Mulana Stands Atop Download Charts Worldwide

Shotgunryugan

The game deserves all of it's success,i bought it yesterday after reading the NintendoLife review.

I had an absolute blast with the game,although i had to adjust the screen in the options menu because the HP bar and the other things were getting cut-off by the screen.

The game is filled with secrets and traps,overall a very fun game,i recommend it to everyone,easily the best 1000 points i have spent.

Re: Review: Just Dance 3 (Wii)

Shotgunryugan

I bought this 2 days ago and the game is simply superb,it's my first Just Dance game and my 2nd Dance game(first being Dance Dance Revolution Hottest Party).

I love the diversity of the songs and i had a blast playing it with my sisters yesterday(not to mention you get more points with other people )

It's going to be awhile to get all of the DLC songs,but i already want too buy "Toxic" and "Just Mario"

I agree with the score and the review was written nicely

Edit-I forgot to mention that it was a bit disappointing that some copies have exclusive songs(Target/Best Buy)while others don't(like Gamestop) and i bought the game in Gamestop,so no bonus songs for me

Re: Namco's Harada: Smash Bros. Design is Sakurai's Job

Shotgunryugan

I'm okay with a few third party characters,but i mostly want the roster to be all Nintendo,there's too many characters that they have yet to add.

and i am also still waiting for Waluigi to finally become playable,one of my favorite Mario characters and he was only an assist trophy in Brawl D:
