Here's Jeremy Parish's (USGamer) review of NES Remix 2

He loved the first one, but it seems he merely likes the sequel for reasons he admits seem counterintuitive

 

[Shauni]

I sort of get what he's saying. The first game was a random and totally unexpected treat, and now that we know what to expect, it wasn't to his liking as much. A fancy way of saying, more of the same. That doesn't particularly bother me, though, as I want more of the same with different games from the NES history.

Well, he's also saying that the first batch featured simpler games that lent themselves well to a "spin-off of 9-Volt's stages". While that connection is obvious, I never considered NES Remix WarioWare-like in nature.

 

[Jagsrock]

Arn't Mario Kart 7, Super Mario 3D Land, New Super Mario Bros. 2, Animal Crossing: New Leaf and Donkey Kong Country Returns 3D supposed to go on sale today for 29.99? When does the eshop usually update?

 

[donny2112]

Hasn't updated, yet, so probably 9 a.m. PST for it.

 

[Callibretto]

If you enjoyed EO: Untold, I highly recommend EO IV. It's far more open in terms of design due to its overworld, and thanks to the multiple dungeons feels like it has more variety. Also, I would recommend picking up Link's Awakening DX at some point if you enjoy the Zelda games and lack access to another copy of the game.

thanks, I've been thinking to get Link Awakening for a while, EO4 maybe later after I beat EO:Untold first.

how's smt devil survivor and soul hacker? and Project X Zone?

Fuck yeeeessss! Much better price than they charged for Code of Princess, too. (This is the Euro release of Yumi's Odd Odyssey for those playing at home).

 

[Jucksalbe]

NES Remix 2 for me this week. I was hoping they'd have a discount for the associated NES VC games, but oh well. Remix 2 should keep me pretty busy.
So from next week on it's back to hunting for every scrap of information of what VC games might be released that week.

 

[BorkBork]

Put like five hours into Advance Wars today after downloading it. Never played the original - it holds up very well.

 

[L~A]

Not much this week, but line-up is pretty decent. Still not picking up anything though, too busy with PLvsAA at the moment.

And still the same old shovelware getting discounts

 

[Box of Bunnies]

Wii U
NES Remix 2 €9.99 (£8.99)

3DS
Sayonara UmiharaKawase €24.99 (£19.99)

Wow, something on both systems for me this week.

Shame putting NNIDs on 3DS didn't make 3DS purchases count towards the Nintendo Network Premium thing. Umihara would've been a nice it towards a code.

Nintendo Network Premium offer should be extended forever (gonna end on December 31st ), and go to the 3DS too. Makes me curious about their "rewarding players for buying lots of games" thing.

 

[daydream]

Ah yes, Umihara Kawase. I'll definitely be getting it, not sure when, though.

 

[Snkfanatic]

Guess I will be picking up the GBA Yoshi's Island. Wish we were getting the SNES version though.

 

[blu]

Bit Boy!! arcade, here I come!

 

[daydream]

Bit Boy!! arcade, here I come!

The first one on WiiWare was pretty bad imo, but I wouldn't be opposed to an improved sequel. Gonna wait for impressions, though.

 

[Muzy72]

When does the Mario Golf demo come to America?

 

[Murrah]

When does the Mario Golf demo come to America?

This Thursday

Of those three, the only one I've fully played is Soul Hackers. If you enjoy 90's JRPGs and you don't mind playing a game that feels outdated, then you should be fine. It has a really good narrative and the music is great, the cyberpunk aesthetics are great as well. I'd recommend, especially since you can find it now for relatively cheap.

 

[Aostia]

back from easter holidays I'm downloding a couple of demoes. for actual purchases, I'll wait for child of light

 

[Agent Unknown]

Felt good to finally upgrade my Wii U copy of SMB 3. I noticed I was only about 37 points away from another $5 code in my Deluxe Digital account. So I treated myself to Ninja Gaiden, unlocked a $5 code and *boom* SMB 3 on both my Wii U and 3DS for only $6, not bad.

Wow, sooooooo many epic levels of fail in this post that my ignore list literally just now became a sentient being and devoured your username.

 

[Vanillalite]

I caved on AW while waiting for Child of Light. Damn that eshop credit being so easy to spend. LoL

 

[Kodaman]

No signs of Shovel Knight?

 

[AcademicSaucer]

tag worthy

 

[zroid]

No signs of Shovel Knight?

I heard it got submitted to Nintendo for approval a week or two ago... should be soon, assuming it gets approved

edit: never mind, looks like I heard wrong!

 

[TheUnknownForce]

No signs of Shovel Knight?

When I interviewed them at PAX East, they said they were getting bugs fixed and would likely be a couple weeks from submission. So, soon.

 

[Jagsrock]

Downloading Animal Crossing now Yay!

In NA it is. The demo is already out in Europe.

 

[kobashi100]

nice update in Jpn Eshop today

Outrun 3D

That new Winning Eleven world cup edition demo

Also has anyone taken a look at slice it?

Looks like a neat little puzzle/logic game. Give us your views if you purchased it.

 

[Absoludacrous]

I'm excited for Minish Cap. I always wanted to play it, but by the time I tried to track it down, bootleg GBA carts were so rampant it made the used market unusable.

Me too I have to get Minish Cap since I never played it

Used GBA carts are the devil!

Oh man I need Minish Cap.

 

[bryehn]

As if Capcpom or Konami would ever do something as cool as NES Remix with their old franchises. :\

Konami's Rebirth games were all pretty good last gen.

 

[Coppanuva]

Japan is getting touch detective 3? Damn... Kinda wish we'd get it but I'm doubtful, second was pretty fun.

 

[Shauni]

Never got to play Minish Cap, either, so I hope it comes over.

 

[Robin64]

I seem to recall Minish Cap having a little emphasis on linking with a buddy to get things. Probably not going to be able to 100% this solo, right?

You would have to find people within the game to connect or "link" stones together to unlock stuff. Is that what you're thinking of? I don't recall a multiplayer function.

Yeah, but I seem to recall trading Kinstones with friends to get them all or something. I dunno, been a LONG time.

It can help, but it it not necessary. It is possible to get all the kinstones on your own.

 

[RiggyRob]

So, which scheduled GBA VC games have yet to be released in the EU? F-Zero and one other right?

Only Yoshi's Island this week. F-Zero was released last week. We don't have a schedule from next week onward, so who knows what'll be released then. A few GBA games have already been rated, though.
