@TheHeroOfTime333 as I own all of the trilogy in one capacity or another, it'd be fantastic to have all 3 bundled into a physical collection and that would certainly lead me to repurchase them. Fingers crossed.
@Agent721 thankyou. Mother 3's stuck with me so strongly ever since I played it. I just hope more people (including yourself) get to experience it in the future : )
This is pretty perfect. The only qualm I have is that the character animations can vary slightly in style/quality. Hopefully with a budget the consistency would be better. The voice for Link is great though. Kudos to whoever voiced that.
Kinda dumb. What better way to generate interest to what is an obscure release (in the west) than with a mammoth series like Zelda. Terrible marketing.
@electrolite77 I think people see a "7" and instantly think it's a bad score, when it isn't at all. A 7 by our scoring system constitutes a "good". When considering the relatively short story mode and that tapping a touch pad isn't as unique as it was back in 2005 - a 7 is still a very decent score.
@LemonSlice I agree. Will give those outside of Japan/Europe the chance to play Last Window: The Secret of Cape West too. Even in the UK it's hard to find a physical copy of it.
@Pahvi yes, sorry. I didn't clarify that. It's the last remaining enemy in a room that needs to be defeated to occasionally drop powerups like health so I saw it as the enemy rather than the room itself, which as you point out - is the case.
@BakaKnight I'd agree with you there, certain enemies can become quite annoying to take out, especially with the flying enemies who take awkward paths - requiring you to wait for them to come close. I think the fact I tended to play the game in short bursts helped. I can see anyone trying to play through it in one sitting becoming a little impatient.
I own Resident Evil Gaiden and while an interesting take, and admirable for starring Barry - it doesn't really work on the Game Boy Colour. The shooting is similar to the power bar you use in golf games and I'd imagine it would have been the same in Dino Crisis.
@Spoony haha yeah, it's quite a british expression. And oooh both of those are extremely tempting, especially as I'm a huge batman fan, but really - there's no need. Very kind of you though, and I appreciate the gesture : ]
@Spartacus3765 makes sense. Especially considering Nintendo have given out rewards via this method in the past. Even the ambassador 3DS systems were offered up in a more controlled manner.
It's strange to think that only a year or so ago I went into an EB Games in New Zealand and picked up the gold Link Between Worlds 3DS XL without even pre-ordering. I'm amazed I was able to do that. Can't see anyone finding a MM 3DS XL up from a store on release day.
