Oh, cool. Main reason I want to play it is for Motion+ sword-swinging, but nice that there's a non-motion option, too. Maybe some future eShop import special down the road ...

That Mercenaries Saga 2 game on 3DS eShop in Japan looks pretty cool. Looks like it's taking a lot of stuff from FF Tactics. Is the first one on the eShop too?

It would be nice if it/they got localised.

I got Titan Attacks in a Humble Bundle so $10 feels a bit steep (but this is par for the course for a lot of indies on Wii U/3DS) but I might just be willing to double-dip at some point since we lack a good digital Space Invaders game, especially if it's in 3D.
Click to expand...

Yeah but look, it's inexcusable. Titan Attacks was originally an XNA developed game on X360's indies and sold for €0.99. PS4 release ("free" with PS4) changed nothing, exactly the same ridiculously easy game which you will finish (yeah, finish since even its high scores are basically finite) in your first sitting if you're just decent (I also got all the trophies in one sitting, my first time playing it lol).

$10 is highway robbery.
$4.99 would have been stretching it but ok, if in 3D, with online leaderboards and with a somehow harder mode added to it, I could see myself paying premium to have it on 3DS.

Since this is our catch-all N-thread, I wanted to say I'm really psyched to have traded my OOT cart + shipping for a new CIB copy of Majora. I should be able to get it on Friday when I pick up Kirby. Yay!

You still have a digital copy of Ocarina of Time, right?

Since, it's a far, far, far better game than Majora's Mask.

I'm not sure which I prefer but I do love MM and I haven't done a full play through since it came out. I also used a guide back then and don't plan to now. But no, I don't have a digital copy of OoT. I'll get one when it next goes on sale or when I next feel like playing it, which I think will be a while since I tried it a few months back and it felt way too familiar to me.

Click to expand...

No, you're right--I was going to. And, I'd still like to. But, I didn't feel like playing OOT at the moment and to be able to get MM new + cost of shipping for my OOT cart seemed like too good of a deal to pass up. I'll mention I'm also getting Kirby non-digital because I've paid for most of it as of a couple months ago.

(Now, I just need to hope my physical games end up being low print runs so I can get full MSRP for them later because the digital ones probably aren't going on sale often!)

Is the recent Kirby game on 3DS worth it? I'd much prefer playing a Kirby 2D platformer like the original NES game for example.

For that matter, what Kirby games were pure 2D platformers and not a collection of mini games?

Yes, 3DX is great, though IMO Return to Dreamland is better due to co op, a better Extra mode, minigames that are fun with friends.

The following are 2D platformers:
Dream Land 1, 2, 3
Kirby's Adventure
Super Star (and Ultra)
Kirby 64
Squeak Squad
Amazing Mirror
Kirby's Return to Dreamland (called Kirby's Adventure Wii for some bizarre reason in europe)
Kirby Triple Deluxe

And Canvas Curse/Rainbow Curse are most certainly not minigame collections. I'm not sure any Kirby game has really been a collection of minigames. There's just games that are more experimental, Canvas Curse is a full length fully featured Kirby game.

At this point I think NoA is saving the DKC games to coincide with the Dixie Kong DLC announcement. Or maybe the announcement of Retro's third DKC game.

Bolieve.

Yes. Triple Deluxe is one of the better games in the series. The only one I'm not really a fan of is The Amazing Mirror.

Oh right, Nightmare in Dreamland is a pretty good remake of Adventure (arguably a worse artstyle/look--one of the best on NES vs okay looking GBA game, depends on taste I guess).

Amazing mirror is fine except for the map, extremely confusing. It's enough to bring the game down pretty significantly due to how important traversal is. I guess there are probably user made maps that are better.
