mmm didn't expect that... bit on the fence with this one to be honest.. some nice fan service things so physical would be nice... but I have it on nintendon't with the gc gamecube controller on the wiiu downstairs so i don't even have to fire up my original... will i be playing this or the original.....
@Sparrowhawk you know how expensive diving is? I often spend 50$ for 30 mins of fishy looking.... so i'm saving money here....
but jokes aside, i recently started playing EO2 now that i modded my wiiU (played Eo1 back in '09) just before this was announced and have clocked around 133 hours now...
@LikelySatan fun to read.. euro gamer's review of the first one had something similar... the second game is far more beefy though.. recently got it for my modded WiiU... 100 hours in...
Some lovely games there. Bubble Ghost was the first game I bought. In an import shop. Wanted to have spmethong different as my friends had to be able to trade.
Mole mania was one of the games I want to have for really when O got my pocket. Such lovely japanese packaging. A true gem
Really felt back like 2009 today. Then jailbreaking my iphone 3g for gba emulation. Then Android was still not there @JohnnyMind (think having both a walled system and a not walled helped development of the phone os)
@bluetunnin. You can access your icloud drive and on your iphone which can accessed by files. And i think i saw dropbox somewhere
Won’t use it that much because have a miyoo mini plus but nice to have some favs on the go.
bit of a strange subselection, but reallt happy mole mania is ranked high... love the game and recnetly bought a japanese boxed version because it's so cute (looks so good in the analogue pocket)
@Kidfunkadelic83 they now announced fortunately that there is a single player mode(rcently started playing EO2 on myu modden wiiu, altready 100 hours in)
@Solomon_Rambling @diogmites thanx for the books discussion.... Although I noticed i love this kind of book for the first hour... production values alone don't make a good book, and without a clear conceptual frame such a book will leave me empty... still there are good exceptions, loved ROM's sensible software book for example (https://www.amazon.nl/-/en/Gary-Penn/dp/0957576803 ) and the book on the demise of commodore
@Anti-Matter Lovely collection.. one could argue thoguh (as i did with my self in the end), that hacking the wiiu now brings it back to it's intended state, since my warawara plaza is back alive..
(Since i lived in Rome.. it's basically the same with every house remodelling there)
Hacked 3ds after ehops colusure, wiiu in february (gamecube-a-tron, great, fzero AX is a beauty to behold), and installe dpretendo on both last month.. ready for the future!
@Croctopus the first one was a bit lightm but the second one combines a story mode, with some salvaging collecrtion missions, fish healing missiosn, dolphin befriending and training, light museum management, and a number of substorylines..
Rediscovering Endless Ocean 2 on my hacked wiiu.. that is a solid single player experience (60 hours in now), nothing about the single player experience known?
I love the focus on an authpr like jeff minter, rather than a series/// candidates include gunpei yokoi, miyamoto, the smash bros guy., sensible software...
No Nintendo Life, it doesn't hold up. Just played it again, but not only it's the most boring of the gba ones, there is no reason to play it, since it doesn't innovate on the Snes one, and that is completely superseded by f-zero 99... Such a great gba library and then a game you have already on the service....giver us the DD version then so we create some content.. anything..
recently playing F-zero AX and GX on my modded wiiU... holds up so well.... you could just upgrade this so slightly and sell...
@-wc- haha, that's not really what i meant, but it might be usefull to reflect on what you actually want to achieve with a function than the specs of the function itself
@-wc- @spider-key it's really is far better than folders (for my use case at least.. having both a shmup section and an m2 section for example .. just hacked my u and put everything in neat folders... but it will decrease my finding stuff and caused endless debates withing myself to put something in the pinball or in the pc engine category etc.. so basically what @fishyS writes.. you know can actually organize them u use them , in stead of finding an artificial 'best index'
Not they couldn't have improved them ofcourse... games could come with standard tags, that you also could use to filter the e-shop for example... (but improving the e-shop is an whole diffet matter... what a mess....)
And to counte the argument 'but we asked for it', just remember Ford's quote 'if we would have asked people what they wanted, they would have asked for faster horses;' .. in design thinking philosophy (and industrial design in general) it's important to look at the actual need of the client, rather than the perceived solution..
Didn't realise there were so many... the pinball game on gbc is nice though, as is (new) pokemon snap... Pokken a nice wiiU surprise a decade ago
the other free switch ones not more than a destraction... , the stadium games i don't see the point off (I didn't really fit in the pokemon demographic during the n64 days i guess).. and grinding rpg's i sadly don't have time for... stull it looks like it is a bit like fireemblem some, which is nice
Depends a bit on the sunday. This morning it was endless ocean 2. The. Breakfast with the kids and then ringfit for some exercise. (This can be changed with Zwift on the attic or wiifitU skijimping on new years of inline skating when its sunny)
@Itachi2099 actually i think they went from cheapish to almost good to back b-tier again.... with them taking on classic franchises that are just to sophisticated for them..
@Dm9982 although i haven't really experienced the bugs mentioned (maybe that testifies to me playing the game less than i though i would), really was dissapointed that they weren't able to use the extra year at all to make some extra's free of the deadline..
@Antraxx777 depnds on if you like arcade games. Most of the, are a trippy version of classics.. all still fun.. and the documentary aspect is worth something too ofcourse..
Minter is a legend and grrat that they made is bevause of the interesting stories and getting back to that 90s feeling… so i’ll buy it (sooner or later)… is space giraffe there?
@rushiosan i just played, it feels quite different... (ofcours it is a2d golf game, so some similarity is ok... but it misses the rpg.. actually it makes me think more of sensible golf amiga (1995)
don't really either of them, all products of their time i guess... north america could have been better if it was a bit more lively, scarier etc... europe at least has some composition etc, so voted for it... but yuck.,.
@UltimateInkling yeah i have the widget, which actuallyu makes me cheerful when i see it often...
I do wonder btw.. if nintendo saw a discord world before other people, since we now see (in my bubble no body using playstation voice chat anymore, but discord only...
