The most memorable jump for me is the one in Super Mario World where you have to sacrifice Yoshi in order to get the second finish line. I'll never forget that one.
I absolutely loved Wii Music and easily put in well over 100 hours into it. You could be so creative with it! I actually did collaborations with other people back then. We would record sections send them back and forth to each other. I know it caught a lot of crap from people, but it was great for those who really dug into it. I believe it actually sold well too. I'm all for another iteration of Wii Music.
What I don't like about this one is that the music doesn't change throught the match like it does in all the other special themes. The music should change once you get into the top 50, as well as when you get down to the top ten. They phoned it in on this one.
Got a new PC last year and it came with three months of Xbox GamePass, so I finally redeemed it on Friday and started playing Sea of Stars. Wow, what a freakin' fantastic game! I'm only about four or five hours in, but it has been a blast so far.
@ChromaticDracula Good luck with that. It's the one promo item I still wish I had. I actually still have a sealed N64 copy of the game and a player's guide.
I'd get the collector's edition if it came with the glasses. I was given a pair when I got the game on the N64 when it first came out. I still have the case, but I don't have the glasses anymore and would like to get another pair.
I can't believe I just spent 25 minutes watching a computer play Tetris, but I really enjoyed it! Very interesting moves and I ended up looking forward to the names that he gave the different color schemes. Some of them were quite funny.
I bought this when it was $0.09. It's actually a pretty decent game. Well worth more than than the nine cents I paid, but not quite worth the current $250 asking price.
Just make sure that you are on the file of the player who is the Island Representative. I was racking my brain trying to figure out why Blathers wasn't saying anything about Brewster. I finally came across an article somewhere about the requirements to get him to come to your island that mentioned this. I was playing on my account, but I should have been on my daughter's!
@brunojenso One of the reasons that I really enjoyed Tetris on the PS3 was the fact that you could use whatever music you had downloaded on your PS3. I loved the ability to customize my own music.
About 20 years ago, I had someone mod my SNES with both a 50/60 switch and an override switch just so I could play this gem on my American SNES. It was well worth it!
The only one of these I've played before is Jenny LeClue. I thought it was fantastic! I really dug the character development. What I'm really excited to check out is Ghost of a Tale. That one slipped by me, so I'm gonna have to find out more about it.
Screw them! They burned many of us on the first wave who did everything right and as fast as possible. They can take their second wave and stick it where the sun don't shine.
I'm intrigued by the idea of this game. I'm definitely going to find out more about it. I know everyone is poo pooing on the games that they are throwing in, but I like the idea. If I end up deciding to get Trancelation, Solitaire and 2048 would be nice little extras to have.
Many years ago, I had someone mod my U.S. SNES with a 50/60 switch and an override switch (to disable the lockout chip) just so I could play my import version of Terranigma. Worth it.
@Kainbrightside Probably not. I don't think Nintendo ever sells amiibo's online here in America. They re-released a bunch of Zelda amiibo's in Europe and Japan a few months back, but not in the U.S. ~insert sad face here~
For some reason, PAL games have the title of the game smack-dab in the middle of the spine, which is not as aesthetically pleasing as the Japanese and North American Switch games, which have the titles on the left of the spine. Go figure.
I am currently on stage 165 of World 5 (the last currently available world), so I'm glad that they're adding another one soon because I'm almost at the end. I absolutely love the single player mode and haven not felt the need to spend one penny yet. I really like the fact that you get your heart back when you beat a level.
@Quarth I have the same problem with the pro controller d-pad, On Tetris 99 as well as on Puyo Puyo Tetris. It's garbage. I just stick with the joy-cons.
As a leftie, I always thought that precise movement with my dominant hand and mashing buttons with my useless right hand was why I've always been really good at Tetris. When analog sticks came out, I thought that being a leftie was even more advantageous for me in some games. I don't know how you righties do it. I was cool with the N64 c-buttons, but when right analog sticks came out, I totally sucked with them (and still do!)
@Strumpan I'm with you on this one. If I get stuck in a game, I'm not going to automatically hop onto Google. I'm going to spend a ridiculous amount of time trying to find what I am believing to be an in-game resolution. What a potentially frustrating goof-up on Nintendo's part.
I'm highly confident that it will get a physical release. Between all of the rave reviews and the fact that Chucklefish has already stated that they are very interested in the idea, I think it's a no-brainer.
I'm holding out for a physical copy. Here's what they say on their website: "Are you making physical copies? Wargroove will be digital only at launch, but we’d love to make a physical copy further down the line if all goes well!"
I never played it either. I remember everyone crowded around this at the arcade when I was a kid. It even had a screen on top of the machine so you could see the game as it was played!
I have to disagree with you. To "boss up" is to watch a 24-hour marathon of "Who's the Boss?" Soulja boy needs the wise words of Tony Danza to help give him guidance and direction through these troubling times.
