Re: Feature: Ten Must-Play Games for the Nintendo 3DS

ToniK

Kind of obvious choices. I don't mind the absence of Kid Icarus here. To me it was decent but nothing special. To be honest, I haven't enjoyed 3DS nearly as much as I did the original DS. Great piece of hardware but not too many memorable games really.

Re: Ubisoft Launches Yet Another Massive eShop Sale in North America

I've really enjoyed some of their games. Shadow wars was one of the biggest surprises. It's really good for a turn-based strategy. Child of light, really beatiful with awesome soundtrack and great combat system.
AC4, framerate issues but otherwise pretty freaking awesome. 100%'d it in about 65 hours. Zombi U is already a cult classic at this point. Finished it twice which almost never happens. Blacklist is also great if you want some hardcore stealth. Endless possibilities when it comes to gameplay. So many gadgets.
I don't hate them.

Re: Review: Undead Storm Nightmare (3DS eShop)

The original was a nice budget title and I didn't find the controls too awkward. I like when people try new things, even if they don't always turn out that great. I'm gonna check this out if it arrives to Europe.

Re: Video: Does Super Mario Galaxy 2 On Wii U Offer Anything New?

ToniK

This is cool and all, I just hate the fact that I need to buy nunchuk again and also batteries for my remote. It's like 2007 again.
I will re-buy Metroid Prime Trilogy but I'd really like Xenoblade Chronicles as well. I don't think the remake would necessarily prevent that from happening but it just doesn't seem like a game that would appear on VC. There were Ocarina of time and Majora's mask on VC and they still got remade and with a high price tag.

Re: Wii U eShop Title Meme Run Seals Approval To Release This December

ToniK

Another 1/10 in the making. Yeah, always two sides to things. The fact that virtually anyone can make games nowadays will eventually come down to this. The same thing with music&internet. Having variety and quantity is great but the overall quality...well, you know. Not complaining, just need to be careful which ones we want to support.

Re: Nintendo Download: 6th November (Europe)

ToniK

I'll read about the controls in The Swapper before I decide but it's a great game on PC and I doubt they ruined it for the U. Also Flowerworks could be worth supporting. Still so busy with my backlog on X360 but we'll see.

Re: Awesome Fan Album Metroid Cinematica Released Today

ToniK

Gift of power seems to be based on my favorite tune from Metroid Prime. I seriously can't put it to words how much I loved the first Metroid Prime. My fondest gaming memory which I will never forget. I will look into this album when my financial stance is sturdier :/

Re: Slender: The Arrival Is Stalking Its Way To The Wii U eShop

ToniK

Oh, cool. Might check this out although after countless Slendy clones on Android devices the character is getting really old. Also these games are solely about cheap scares (or the anxious wait for them). I tried the X360 demo and it seemed to suffer from framerate issues and it's not even that pretty.

Re: Nintendo Reports Losses for Q1 of Financial Year, With Variable Hardware Results

ToniK

MK8 is obviously a success. On the other hand, it can't sell infinitely while there are only 7 million Wii Us out there. It really starts to seem there is quite limited demand for a console like Wii U. No need for doom 'n' gloom, it is a great console but it is what it is. Can't see Smash Bros. changing it at this point and that is quite frankly their last resort. MK8 only gave a moderate boost which lasted for 2 weeks and that was it.

Skyward Sword didn't sell that well so I don't think the mainstream audience is that interested in the next installment. It's just us. Metroid was never that big in the first place. Metroid Prime may be the best game ever made but the sales were humble. So even if they officially announced a new Metroid it wouldn't change a thing.

So, we have a great console with great games that is not selling and won't sell in the future. We'll deal with it. I can't wait for the new Zelda and Project Zero and whatnot!
