I beat this game twice which almost never happens. In the future I'll get to it once more. There is something about this game that just fascinates me so much. The setting, the atmosphere... The London suburb in gloomy daylight... Actually, I want to play this right now
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.
I haven't finished Knytt. I've pretty much forgotten about that game. Which reminds me I haven't finished Master Reboot either. This is what happens nowadays.
Yes, I will pre-order it like I did with Project Zero 2 on Wii. You can always count on me when it comes to horror on Nintendo platforms. Then again, they don't seem to care and I'm forced to buy other consoles for horror purposes. Sorry.
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.
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.
The handpainted parts on my Ganondorf (The WW HD one) could be better but for the price it's quite ok. I kinda like my blue shell better though in all its simplicity ^__^ I hope Zelda U gets some cool limited edition. I need Link.
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.
Sometimes one encounters things commonly considered great but can't really understand why. This series was that kind of thing to me. I played through both so I really did try but eventually I just had to be honest and say I didn't like them at all. The first one was especially painful.
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.
Even Angry Birds was a clone, they just added charming visuals. I start to think Nintendo really should keep an eye on their eShop... Too many lackluster titles that downgrade the whole eShop. I don't blame the developers, though.
I would like the game to have the classic "hold down and tap a button" for speeding up but otherwise the 3DS demo seemed surprisingly good. I'm not paying full price for it but maybe later when it's discounted.
I thought this would never see daylight but I guess I was wrong. I just hope this is also the end of Zelda remakes. Also probably gonna buy it although I wasn't enjoying the VC version on Wii too much.
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.
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 :/
@Hero-of-WiiU Yes, on Xbox at least. For some reason I only found it via web browser and installed it remotely. The demo was ok, but I got stuck (or maybe the demo sort of ended) and quit with slight disappointment.
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.
Yeah, the characters in 0 were not my favorites but the game itself was great. One reason I like RE is the strong female type. Somehow it suits horror games especially well.
I guess I wasn't aware at the time that my precious Mega Drive II was called Genesis somewhere else. Loved that console so much. I still remember the day I got it in '93 I think. And that song in the end of the video was one of my favorites. From Sonic & Knuckles if I'm right?
I think this type of game would benefit from the 3D effect. It could possibly look really cool even in the simplest form. I'll keep an eye on this. Never played the original, Terraria I've played for some hours.
Awesome game. It's a download title so it's not very lengthy but it has replay value. Would like to see a sequel with even more content Well done, I&F!
Well I bought both AC3 and 4 and absolutely adored Black Flag. 100%'d it like a boss. Also bought Splinter Cell and Zombi U. I guess I'm in a minority. Great releases apart from occasional frame rate issues. Sad to see Ubi joining the Wii U abandoners camp.
I have no idea what this could be but I welcome it nevertheless. I am getting older after all, and I could possibly be interested in some QOL (whatever that is). I can't see this harming other departments. They'll still deliver the few games they have to offer.
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!

The game looks relatively interesting. Must've been cool back then. The wireframe graphics are slightly confusing though.
