Super Smash Bros. for 3DS & Wii U Thread XV: Kübler-Ross Edition

I specifically remember playing Duck Hunt and my dad saying "Stop playing so close to the TV" and I was thinking "Whatever, I'm fine" and then smacked the lightgun in to the screen, cracking it.

Did you change the control set up? I have had others tell me they just couldn't get used to using the a/b/x/y buttons.

Aside from sensitivity I left everything at default, never gave me any trouble. Not saying it'll be the same for you of course, but the controls don't automatically make it unplayable. Give it a try, if you can.

Holy hell, how do you crack an old school CRT? They were a solid half-inch of glass usually.

I'll probably give it a try, eventually. There's just a few other games on the Wii U I'm looking forward to playing more so.

I don't want to be pushy, but I need to confirm what that other user said. Tropical Freeze is definitely worth it. One of my favorite games to date.

Thanks for your answers, I might give it a try sometime.

Oh wait, I haven't played ROB's game. And I'm not sure I played Duck Hunt either, although I definitely remember watching someone play it when I was a kid. So yeah, those two and Wii Fit are the ones I haven't played.

I didn't play Duck Hunt until really recently, actually. Though I remember it fondly because light gun games are cool, I tried out DH a couple years back. It was always some combination of me not having a working NES, or a SMB/DH cart on hand, or a zapper, or something.

I had a lot of fun though; it was a rare case where my dad and I could both get nostalgic about it, and compete at an equal level.
Equal at first. He ended up beating me kinda bad, lol.
 
No one in my circle of friends these days has played Smash Bros., so I'm looking forward to teaching them. I can already picture one of them spamming Pikachu's Thunder over and over again, and another wheeling around as Wario. It's those simple but addictive moves that serve as gateway drugs to Smash Bros! This is the same group that has a blast playing Nintendo Land, so I'm confident Smash Bros. will be a hit. :-)

It also continues my plans to convert them all into gamers. I loaned one of them A Link Between Worlds and one of my 3DSes, and he finished it in a 40-hour playthrough (nearly got all of the Heart Containers, too). Another friend I encouraged to play through all of The Last of Us and BioShock Infinite, which he did. Feels good to see them playing some of my favorite games. :-)

Who the fuck DOESN'T play Duck Hunt by holding the light-gun right up to the screen?

It was a shit off-brand TV. We ended up replacing it later, anyway, and everything looked way clearer.

I also remember when I first got the NES and my dad was hooking it up (I was maybe two years old, at most) and him taking the tools out out to install it. And now that I'm older and work with a lot of A/V equipment, I still have no idea what he needed tools for.
 
The only characters I've played zero games with are Wii Fit Trainer, ROB, and Game and Watch. I've played at least one game with every character, and every game with most characters.

I do

Something like this:

Usually you'd have to screw in the two thingies into the back of the tv. It's a vhf adapter, and you needed it to plug in the NES on older tvs.

I think the only ones series I have never tried is anything with Rob and G&W. All the others range from playing and beating every game in the series to just trying one entry.

EDIT: Oh wow and Xenoblade, still trying to find a copy under $100 or will be waiting for the n3DS version.

Guess it depends on where you live, but I picked one up for $43 last Wednesday. What I did was I got on the gamestop website around 9am pacific time. I refreshed the page and eventually the game became available online. I ordered it, used the coupon code CAG16 for 16% off and the code freeship for free shipping. The order came to about $43 with taxes. Took me about 20 minutes all said and done. Maybe I just got lucky but it does pop up on the website from time to time.

Don't stress it, dude. Recommending a game isn't being pushy. I've heard such great things about it, so its definitely on my list!

Everyone can cheat now with Fire Emblem Awakening because of the DLC having the older characters.

Screw the old characters. Easy money/exp/regalia dlc, paragon, bride, dread fighter, limit breaker were all I needed.

I admit marth came in handy for hard mode lol.

Yeah, the DLC that added grinding stuff, as well as new classes were the best DLC, imo. The other ones were fun, neat throwbacks, but time killers more than anything. Still haven't played the swimsuit, etc ones.

yesssss. Crates on wheels were simultaneously the best and worst things ever. The amount of chaos and bullshit one of those babies could cause was amazing.

Tropical Freeze will probably be on my top ten sometime this year.

Though I am actually worried there will be too many Wii U games this year if everything I expect to turn out great meets those expectations. People call bias for the silliest things.

How much would be on there from this year? Bayonetta and Smash, on top of TF and MK8?

I don't know if you've gotten your hands on Hyrule Warriors yet but from the early threads it seems like you had some apprehension toward it.

Really should get around to the other battle dlc sometime. The future of despair(the future past) and the strongest one's name(apotheosis) were fun to endure.

Surprised people haven't played any mega man (are we counting the spin off series too?)

I've played games on all the series except ROB, but Zelda, IC, KI, and Metal Gear are my least played.

Yeah, I was thinking MK8, TF, and maybe Bayonetta and Smash. I got some shit last year for having W101 above TLoU, so I am cautious about having too many games on one system, probably irrationally.

I'm still flipping back and forth on HW. Considering going to Best Buy this week to pre-order it but I'm also pretty Musou'd out.

Wow, really? I haven't heard stuff like that since Middle School.
Click to expand...

Yup, I think a lot of us went through that phase. I never uttered that, since i've always found nintendo games to be the greatest, but there was definitely a point in my life when I was a teen where I sought out 'mature' games. The bloodier the better.

I outgrew that phase a long time ago. It's why I call call of duty a kids game, because it appeals to that pubescent boy mentality.

Not saying there's anything wrong with call of duty or the adults who play it, but one of its key audiences is teenage boys, mainly because a lot of them are seeking out that 'edgy, mature' game. They want to be older, so they play games that older kids play, and talk how they think older kids talk. It's just a phase a lot of people go through. Same people are the ones who call mario a kid's game.
 
I guess I've at least touched every series except ROB (although he was my go-to in MKDS and I love him in Brawl). I've helped my mom set up Wii Fit, so that's legit. Game & Watch is a decade before my time but I played quite a bit of the original Game & Watch Gallery as a kid so his inclusion in Melee still hit all the right spots for me.

Everyone else is a Certified Yes.
