Cool that it’s finally released as a shiny, but annoying that it has Aura Break rather than Power Construct. Wonder if they’ll ever release 10% or 100% as a shiny.
ehh I’ll probably pick one up this time. Love my SNES Classic, but let’s face it the NES games just don’t hold up so well for the most part. It’ll look nice next to the SNES and maybe I’ll mod it.
I’m okay with this given that it probably means more robust inclusion in the paid service that there was no way I was gonna be able to avoid paying (gotta Spla2n). But Nintendo needs to hurry up and make GameCube playable for me. I skipped the NES Classic due to already owning any of the games I’d want on Virtual Console and I got the SNES Classic, if there’s an N64 Classic I’ll skip it but I’ve been dying to get a chance to play through Sunshine and Thousand Year Door and to replay F-Zero GX. I’d be kinda surprised if they make a GCN Classic but I guess we’ll see.
Ugh I find achievements to be very annoying, on XBone u get an achievement for every little thing and it always lags up the game as well. Hope there’s an option to turn it off. Also hope we get a damn release date already I’m about ready to give up and go back to Java.
@majinx07 wondering this myself. do we get two codes? im gonna sign up with one of my alternate e-mail addresses just in cause since i have Moon and Ultra Sun. if i had to choose between them I’d of coursw go with Heatran, but no reason not to get both ¯(ツ)/¯
want this as i’ve only watched the indigo series on netflix and wanna watch the rest, in order. $3/mo. isn’t bad but they really should just have all of it. also would i be able to watch this thru my appleTV? there’s a prime app now for it finally so would it run thru that or does it need a separate app or is it only available on computers?
get a 5 star Rare Kitchen in your festival plaza. once a day you can boost a pokémon's level by 7 (assuming they are under i believe 79) for 100 FC and once a day you can also boost them by 9 if they are under 89 for 300 FC. So I level my pokes to 59 or 66, use the lvl 7 boost to go 59 > 66 > 73 > 80 then the lvl 9 boost to go 80 > 89 > 98 and I finish it off with two rare candies which occasionally regenerate at a spot on the first island. It requires some patience but it's so much more passive than sitting there grinding levels.
I just want to have the bank accept pokémon from gen 2. got some shinies i've bred and duplicated and wanna send them up.
@ the first comment, I think the bank is well worth the $5, even if you're just moving mons between games that can trade with one another and u have a second 3DS, the transfers are much quicker if you wanna move a lot. the only thing it can't do is trade items. another thing is that they removed the national dex in gen 7 so if u wanna track which of the 802 pokémon u have, u'll need the bank
was shocked when i saw my team win. i actually meant to pick werewolf bc i knew vampire would be more popular. i also participated in like 4-5 vsmpire v. vampire matches.
good. i wouldnt mind seeing lives in something like another nsmb or 3D world style game but that doesnt really fit as well with the more open mario games
Maybe one day after I get bored with the included games I plan on actually playing (probably around half the list) I'll add some of the biggest omissions like CT, DKC2&3 and FFIV/V
i pre-ordered from my nearest best buy (in a town of probably ~20-25k ppl) and i went a few minutes before they opened to see how many ppl would line up and there were probably at least 80 (saw someone's ticket ahead of where i was waiting that said like 73) and onviously they had more than enough to satisfy demand
6/10? for a game almost everyone who wants already has in a more capable format. it's not even the most portable version, really, since the mobile version has been around for what, 5 years now? i guess get it for the kids if you have $30 to spend and don't trust them with a tablet or something idk.
I started with Blue version but never got a game boy color so I didn't play pokémon again until HeartGold. This is my first experience with the original version of the gen 2 games and I gotta say, the game holds up much better than the originals having now played both (altho I'm still working my way thru it slowly I've only just reached Ecruteak). 10/10 from me. Not sure what more one could want out of these.
kinda tempting so i could play it at work but i'd need to know some more about it such as world size. still $30 is probably too much so i'd have to wait for a price drop
Obviously there are a few more games I'd like to see on it, but the 21 it comes with is more than enough and honestly when I see a long list of games I get frozen and instead of playing everything I play nothing. The included games will be more than enough to keep me busy and it's a pared amount to focus on actually completing some of these. I think the only included games I've beaten are Earthbound, Super Mario World and Donkey Kong Country
i've played this a decent amount on PC (iirc over 100 hours) and a little bit (like under 10 hours if i had to guess) on PS3. I'll get it on sWiitch once i see it for <$30
still dont really care about the NES mini but this is nice for those who've managed to hold off on paying scalper prices (including those stupid thinkgeek bundles)
I'm ok with the maps being rotated especially now that they change every two hours instead of four. Makes me play all the maps and it keeps things fresh. Even the maps I like I can only play for a little while. There's also no maps I dislike or feel completely disappointed about like in the first game (Kelp Dome was a drag and Arowana Mall and Moray Towers weren't very fun until they added a little more to them)
there's already so many options for using a d-pad im not sure how much of a priority it is. imagine if u only brought your d-pad joy-con with you, multiplayer wouldn't work very well. just bring the pro controller or 8bitdo if a d-pad is necessary
thanks to twitter i saw it was available within minutes of it going live, before i got the in-stock e-mail and got my order in. also told my brother and my best friend and they got theirs ordered as well
so happy about this, when i caught the one in-game i forgot to reset for hp ice so now i finally have one with it. i just wish i could have reset for a different nature as I'd have preferred naive since it has a good attack stat. I lucked out tho, mine wound up with 0 attack IVs so it'll take minimal damage from Foul Play and hitting itself in confusion
@SilentHunter382 they're always Timid with this distribution. hope u got a good hidden power
@SonicSpeedX considering the demand, if anything the console is priced too low. it's when sales drop that a price needs to be lowered (or some other value added to keep the price up such as a bundled game)
