Re: Review: Kirby Mass Attack (DS)

TheAmazingRaccoon

The kirby series, more than any other, has more experimentation from game to game. So you never know what you are going to get. There is however amazing care taken by HAL with every one of them. So you pretty much can guarantee you are going to get something special with each Kirby release.

Re: Feature: Luigi's Mansion 10th Anniversary

The gamecube was the first home console that I purchased new, but I didn't get Luigi's Mansion until much later when a local store was liquidating it's gamecube stock. I was pleasantly surprised at how different it was to any other game, let alone any other nintendo game.

Re: Feature: Nintendo - Gaming in Black and White

on the subject of B&W Vs. Colour, I finally got the Metroid II cart and have been playing it on my GBASP. When comparing it to the emulator rom in b&w it became apparent that the colour enhancement adds a lot to the look of the game. I hope when they bring Metroid II to the VC that they do what they did with Links Awakening (which was not a proper gameboy colour game, but was presented in it's gameboy colour format).

Re: Four Swords Anniversary Edition Details Announced

TheAmazingRaccoon

I liked the gamecube single player, so if it plays like that it will be awesome. You could control what formation the four links were in, or control them individually one by one. It didn't even occur to me to use my XL and 3DS for multiplayer. looks like multiplayer will be possible for me after all.

Re: How to Check if You're an Australian Ambassador

TheAmazingRaccoon

either this doesn't work for 3DS's purchased in NZ or for some reason I am not eligible even after downloading over 20 titles from the eshop. I AM FREAKING OUT

Hey Australians, what is the model number on your 3DS's? (it is in theory before MADE IN CHINA)

Mine is CTR-001(EUR). I think that means that even though they were distributed by Nintendo of Australia, they are actually European (and hopefully that is why it doesn't work).

EDIT: Before you ask: I purchased my 3DS at launch and accessed the Eshop the moment it went live.

Re: Talking Point: The Great Nintendo 3DS Price Drop Debate

Nintendo should have a demo station in every store that sells it so you can try before you buy. They should change their advertising campaign to one that shows how different the 3DS is from the DS even though it looks the same. Also the ad should point out that there is demo station in every store that sells it so you can see for yourself.
