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!
I would think PS4 gets a price cut and/or new model before christmas and will sell an unbelievable amount of systems. Even without price cuts any new console will be left in the dark this christmas. Sony is strong right now. Even without interesting games.
Used to play a board game version of this. I think it was a more accessible thing for people with no role-playing experience but it was really fun. I would like to re-live those moments on screen but that hefty price tag though...
Whatever NX is and whenever it's going to be released, I'm probably gonna wait till the end of its lifespan. Unless indies start making awesome exclusive games for it. Nintendo obviously can't maintain a steady stream of must-have titles. Good stuff but not enough.
I gave this game enough chances but couldn't finish it. It just annoyed me like there's no tomorrow. Even when I finally learnt the controls and the gameplay became smooth it didn't do anything for me. Obviously a hidden gem to some but a miss to me. I hope I picked another game as my MK8 freebie.
I still get disconnected every single time I play but I don't know if that's something that can be cured. 118 hours in and no plans to stop playing. There are still some obvious goals I have yet to accomplish and I don't want to read any walkthroughs.
I can't see myself using a console for streaming purposes and even if I did I'd use Youtube. For someone who likes to listen thru stereo system this could be nice.
I can relate. I was once a music reporter and when I found myself in the basement of a club interviewing people I knew from the music they did... it was bizarre. I felt like a sad fanboy but I was also a semi-professional reporter that night. It was bizarre.
I have this on my phone. It's a nice game but the controls are not the best. I want to see the screen but I also need to cover it with my fingers all the time. Oh, how I hate smart phone controls.
3DS and Wii U versions could possibly be great though. Combining touch screen and button controls.
Oh dear. The complexity! But I'm ready. I have chosen not to get into Fallout 4 or any other time-consuming game just to give this game all the time I got. The postal services are on strike right now so I might not get the game on time though I guess few more days won't end my life.
It's so weird that a game like this is coming out on Wii U and PS4 of all platforms. I seriously thought the Wii U version will be cancelled. If it's at least decent according to reviews I'll probably get it sooner or later. It's like Doom meets Zombi U.
I can't wait for Xenoblade but otherwise this holiday is pathetic. Nintendo is obviously having too much changes and stuff going on. I really hope they don't go down the road of shovelware and useless mobile apps. A full AC game on Wii U would actually sell a couple of consoles and sell well but no. Amiibo Festival it is.
As a kid I didn't have much of a standard but I remember playing some Bubsy game with my uncle on his Atari Jaguar (!) and realising that a videogame can also be bad. Really bad. That was a first.
"I'm an adult and I need to be able to control the breast size of the fictional characters I see on MY flatscreen."
As a 30-year-old I've passed the "boooobiieesss!" phase so I'm not bothered in the slightest. Just wanted to comment before all the "censored!!!" stuff.
I'm glad that it really makes a difference. Fast travel is handy and those packs really seem to cut the loading times. I have plenty of space and decent wifi so downloading for sure.
@GloverMist I know what you mean and I'm being cautious about it. I was overwhelmed when I started to understand how much stuff there was in the original but slowly started to digest it. I'm up for the challenge but, yeah... it's going to be a tough first few hours.

Re: Five Wii U Releases Confirmed for Nintendo Selects Range in Europe

Re: A Wii U and 3DS Nintendo Direct Is On the Way
@oats-81
I'm not sure, it's been a while since I checked. At least 180, I'd say.
Re: A Wii U and 3DS Nintendo Direct Is On the Way
Cool. I'm close to 100-percenting XCX so I could slowly start to conform to life as usual with some new games.

Re: New North American Nintendo Selects Range Emerges in Retailer Listings
When these hit europe I'll finally get 3D World and probably some DK action as well. So make it happen Nintendo!
Re: Video: Get a First Look at the Pixelated Chaos of Shakedown Hawaii on 3DS
@readyletsgo The first one was like 8-bit GTA with tongue-in-cheek humour. This seems to continue that but with "updated" 16-bit graphics

That hamster looks cute though. I'm old enough to remember the first wave of Tamagotchi so stuff like this is not that bad
Re: Shantae: Risky's Revenge Director's Cut is Nearing Release on Wii U

Re: Random: Take a Look at These Unused Alternate Sonic Boom Logos
Some of those are really bad and some just look outdated. I think the very last one is my favorite.

Keep it up, guys! You're improving.
Re: 17 Games Get North American eShop Discounts in the Winter Warm-Up Sale
Is StarFox 64 3D a Selects title only in europe? The retail version is 20 euros here so even that sale price is pretty high.
Re: SEGA Reveals the Logo for Sonic the Hedgehog's 25th Anniversary
I really can't say which is my favorite: Sonic 2 or Sonic & Knuckles. Both precious to me. I should get the Mega drive collection for my 360.
Re: Feature: A Year in Development - Shin'en Multimedia

Re: Video: Check Out the Super Mario Bros. 3 Port That Never Was
Looks kinda awful to be honest. I hated that kind of PC graphics and the controls seem really off. Yuck!
Re: Ten Hours of Maintenance on the Way for the Nintendo Network
It sure would be nice to stay connected while playing Xeno. People are complaining so it's probably not on my end.
Re: Gone Home is No Longer on its Way to the Wii U eShop
I already played it on PC. It was really good, but like some pointed out it's not really a game and has very little replay value.
Re: SteamWorld Heist Will Have Over 100 Weapons and Nearly 100 Hats

Re: Nintendo Smartens Up For "Super Moschino" Collection Of Shirts, Sweaters And Accessories
I do not know the brand but I assume this is quite cool. I'd definitely want some well made and classy Nintendo gear but I haven't seen much of that.
Re: Terraria Digs Its Way Into the 3DS eShop on 10th December

3DS and Wii U versions could possibly be great though. Combining touch screen and button controls.

Re: Chasing Dead Developers Claim it's Awaiting the Approval Process
It's so weird that a game like this is coming out on Wii U and PS4 of all platforms. I seriously thought the Wii U version will be cancelled. If it's at least decent according to reviews I'll probably get it sooner or later. It's like Doom meets Zombi U.

Re: Preview: Getting Lost in the World of Xenoblade Chronicles X
Do you play with one character only or can you switch to any character in your team like in Xenoblade Chronicles?
