Underwhelming to say the least. PS Store currently has a black friday sale (even in europe) that makes this seem like a joke. Nintendo should really step up their game when it comes to pricing.
The game was surprisingly fun for what it is. Unfortunately it's also an example of an open-world game that feels kind of "empty" if you know what I mean. Not that much to do except for the massive amount of collectibles.
Yeah I noticed The stop next to my house gave about 7 normal balls and some great and ultraballs as well. And the amount of Pokemons was crazy when I went to buy groceries. Not sure whether this should be permanent but it's fun for now.
Nice picks! I love horror and I've played most mainstream games as well as some indie stuff. It hurts me how underrated Project Zero 5 is. I enjoyed it so much even though it repeats itself. I've seen most endings and some of them are so beautiful. I am a huge fan of asian horror so... yeah. It's a good game.
I think I'll give Ice Station Z a try. I'm busy with Fallout 4 (quite late, I know) and halloween discounts but I need to give my good ol' 3DS some love.
Obviously some compromises were made when it comes to visuals but otherwise I'm slightly interested if the price is right. 10 bucks max and I will check it out. Wish it had more The Thing vibe though. I got over the whole zombie thing somewhere around the third season of The Walking Dead.
I just got PS4 and already looking forward to NX. I don't care about the sales, I just want to play all the interesting games. My biggest problem will be whether I'll buy the new Zelda for Wii U or NX. Life's good.
I'm slightly interested in this. I really look forward to some new "real" Metroid but I'm not as mad about them doing something else like some people. There are enough games coming out all the time on several platforms. Chill people and broaden your view and you see your life become easier :'D
I pre-ordered mine from Discshop. It still has a place-holder price which is pretty high but I really hope I actually get the thing. There are multiple ways to play most of these games but I really want this piece of gaming history
I'd buy it if it's reasonably priced. DS2 was probably the only game I've played with screen tearing so bad it actually injured the overall experience. Hope it's not that all over again.
I honestly think many developers sincerely mean these words but but... It's the architecture and install base thing all over again. I hope for the best but we'll see.
I kinda liked the first one. More than any recent GTA to be honest. Sure it was rough around the edges but it was an ok entry and I'm sort of looking forward to the next one on some platform.
That is one of the most beautiful things I've ever seen If that actually worked on SNES I would pay big bucks for it but no. It's Wii U or nothing so we'll see.
I only saw the dubbed version of DuckTales when I was a child but I enjoyed his work on DT Remastered. Rest in peace, mister. Quite the journey you had.
This will be a waste of money but I'm not sure if I can resist buying at least some. I like to look at things like game or album covers and cards would be the same thing. And it's Zelda.
Thanks to those humble friends I FINALLY got to try this series out and I'm really loving it now. Shantae is a great character and the overall game design is awesome. I thought it would be just a standard sidescroller but fortunately I wasn't completely right on that one.
To me personally a christmas launch is not necessary. I will buy the console for myself and to be honest march is just fine. The good thing is that after the whole Wii U thing I'm still interested about their new product. I just want to see it first and be confident about there being enough games. Not necessarily third party but games generally. I've been happy about the amount of cool indie games on Wii U and that is something I'd like to see on NX as well.
I haven't downloaded SteamWorld Heist yet but I'm usually quite late on these things since I always have games to play and/or some things to do. I loved SteamWorld Dig for both its gameplay AND visuals (big up to the graphics department) and will no doubt enjoy this new game as well. Well done Image&Form. Hope you guys can survive in the game (not sure if pun intended) and develop more games for us to enjoy.
That's so close to being tacky but manages to be awesome instead. Not that interested in the console though. @FX102A At least my european (SCN) model has a red one.
My physical copy of Tropical Freeze arrived today. It's so entertaining I can't believe it. I'd say it's better than Lego City. So Wind Waker and Donkey are the best from this bunch to me. We still need 3D world as a Selects title and I'm good.
I really liked the demo from last year. Colourful, smooth and really made me smile for no apparent reason. I'm getting it for sure if the price isn't awful.
I'm not overly excited but I'm definitely going to download and keep it in my phone. Nice to see Finland included, thanks! (Edit. Um, actually it's not included in the app list. Not sure how this goes then)
I have the second one on blu-ray and it's decent. I've seen the first one as well and I guess it wasn't too bad either. Not masterpieces but worth watching if you really like RE saga.
Great aesthetics but I'm not a fan of choppy animation and if this is as retro as it looks there will be lots of that. With smooth modern animation, I'm sold!
@Siskan Yeah, unfortunately these kind of games have a small audience. But yeah, both games were just amazing. The atmosphere was so great with very minimal aesthetics. Almost like art.
Edit. Another memory was great as well. Especially the Wii one.
Oh. My. God. I thought the series was dead for good. That's definitely Kyle Hyde, no matter what anyone says! I'm so happy about this. Western release is a matter of time.
@Late Do yourself a favour and get them. They're not very game-like but absolutely phenomenal as they are.
The copycat mentality is just lame. Five night at Freddy's wasn't that great to begin with and these clones seem to get even worse. I'm in for good horror but these cheap-scare games are just not horror at all.
Looks decent alright. If the price is right I'll check it out. And about the comments the guy made... So many juvenile people in the business and he's probably one of them. Watch your tongue in the future and it's all good though. Killing is bad, mmmm-k?
@JohnG Words of wisdom. I have also complained about the prices so many times and will continue to do so until the prices are reasonable. I would like to have a collection of retro games on my Wii U but 10 SNES games 80 euros? No thanks. 10 NES games 50 euros? No thanks. I can get physical copies of contemporary games for a cheaper price.
@oats-81 Probes are quite easy to figure out once you get it but you shouldn't worry about it yet. You can prioritize them later. Have fun with the game and don't worry about stuff. It's a journey, really
I was about 12 and to me "3D" was like Doom and stuff like that. My friends got a brand new N64 and the blurry graphics on CRT was the stuff! Had fun with Star Fox and Forsaken (!). Oh the days. But yeah, I enjoy contemporary games but will always remember the roots.
@wazlon I personally enjoyed it more on 3DS, even without circle pad pro. It looks better on small screen and the Wii U version has minor problems with the controls (dead zone, silly strafe movement). Both versions are good though.
Yeah, I'm not going to do anything right now. NNID can't be used because I've set the country setting to Finland and if I make an account for, let's say UK, I probably can't link my NNID in the future because the country settings are in conflict. Sigh. Nordic countries do exist, you know, NINTENDO!

Re: Nintendo Download: 3rd November (Europe)

Re: Guide: Everything We Now Know About the Nintendo Switch
I just can't resist that design. It's so classy and can't wait. It will probably have an over-priced launch but when it's affordable, it's mine!
Re: Ice Station Z Is Bringing Open World Zombie Horror To The 3DS This November

Re: Darksiders: Warmastered Edition Will Run At 30 FPS On Wii U
The price is tempting. I'll probably take it.

Re: Feature: Why We're Still Playing... Star Fox 64 / 3D
