Just bought Paper Mario 64, time to take a trip back. I really loved this game when I first played it on the Wii years ago.
One of the more charming games I've played :)

Well, finally got around to playing the BlazBlue: Clone Phantasma demo.

.......that sure was a game that exists. Just a button masher of knocking opponents off the arena.

So no one here has bought Fat City, either? No "Posts by Players" on Miiverse yet, either... shame, because ignoring its title, the trailer makes it look like it has some actually interesting gameplay... Looks like I might have to take one for the team...

Remember when GAF designed the cover art for the first BlazBlue game?

Never really heard much about the game after that, honestly.

Oh right, that was for the....weird...EU box art of the original game.

But yeah, this is a spin-off where everyone is chibi-fied (& I think a sequel as well) where you're on a circle platform and move around, attacking other characters to knock them off. You can jump, attack, "drive" (I don't know, guess a heavy attack), & then a Special Attack where if you use it after so many times, you become dizzy & leave yourself open for attack.

The demo was pretty much the definition of "meh". I didn't hate it, but I have no desire to ever play it again nor buy the full version.

I've been playing Earthbound Beginnings.

Me too bro. I had started that game previously at least twice and got too bored to even get into Podunk proper so I'm surprised that I've stuck with it to the point where I'm almost done.

I beat the original FF a couple Christmases ago and the first Dragon Warrior back in the day and this game is nowhere near as grindy as those or as cryptic, although it is as slow. If you're only going to play through one NES RPG, this should be the one.

It's a good thing they put that drill item in this game because otherwise I wouldn't buy it and I'd just play Super Metroid again. This might be the most shameless classic Nintendo rip-off out there but the drill item is actually a cool addition.

Maybe if those jerks sold it in Canada, someone would've taken a chance by now.

I've downloaded Unepic due to the sales. Only done the very beginning, but I like it.
I've also downloaded the Nindies demos and:

Rive and Typoman will be mine for sure.

Still have to try out a couple of those games. In the meantime, I'm still looking for a sale for Affordable space adventure: I'm probably gonna pick it anyways within the end of July

Can someone clarify on Yoshi's Touch and Go? Can you get it with the download code only, or is it already available on VC to buy for anyone? I guess I missed the original release announcement.

In other news: More VC brain training, clearly preparing the general public for the imminent release of that new 3DS brain training we never got. Clearly.

Got Woolly World on the way physically (dat amiibo), but Art Academy with that discount seems like a no-brainer. These games are awesome at actually teaching you art.

Brain Training and two Kirby games?

I wonder if purchasers of the free Brain Training version will get an update and if this will include people who deleted it (just like the Wii Fit U trial if you delete it you can't redownload it, annoying in the case of the former as it the trial version you unlock, you are not given a full version download).

Also Yoshi Touch and Go isn't on the EU eShop yet? I recently got a boxed version (water damaged on the back and the box has some the plastic shell missing ugh...) as I found the price to be similar. I need to see what happens if you try to picotochat search function on the 3DS (the game has an option to auto search for open pictochat rooms...Nintendo thought this would be something, huh). Is that the only way to get pictochat on a 3DS (I'm guessing pictochat is part of the Yoshi touch and go ROM)?

I'm pleased Koei-Tecmo gave us something that resembles the actual exchange rate rather than 2008 level. Although it is probably a PR gaffe (ala Fantasy Zone :( ). Shame that didn't carry through to the DLC.

Get Freedom Planet if you want a platformer that pays homage to the Genesis/MD platformers.
It is to the Genesis/MD what Shovel Knight is to the NES.

Is it really that bad for you? I recalibrated my TV to optimal settings and now have none.
Click to expand...
The input lag is unacceptable even when I'm playing DK64 on my Gamepad, so I don't think recalibrating my TV will help (unless it's displaying exactly what's on the TV for some reason). I do wonder why that is happening though, since some people have no issues, while using exactly the same game on identical hardware.

Edit: Movement seems pretty decent with the Gamepad, but the jumping feels so delayed!

Yep, unfortunately you're screwed now:

RiggyRob said:
Just a PSA, since it might crop up - if you're trying to make room for Metroid Prime Trilogy and you're thinking of deleting Wii Fit U (the full version you unlocked with the Wii Fit meter), don't - it appears that the Wii Fit U unlocked version is an extension of the Trial version, which has since been removed and can't be redownloaded, which would mean you'd have to pay £30 for the full version from the eShop to get it again.

It's annoying since Wii Fit U takes up 4.7GB, which is a sizeable amount for anyone not using an external hard drive like myself.

Kirby 64: The Crystal Shards is an amazing game, and everyone should buy it.
Click to expand...
Its charm is off the roof and the power merging mechanics is hilarious, but gameplay-wise it's not really exciting. The "have the right power you can grab in another world or you can't collect this shard" thing is annoying.

Not sure if I'll buy it again. But if you've never played it, it is indeed charming.

Yes you can? I'm fairly certain it's in my download list, at least (the trial version, that is).

Also, since this may be relevant, IIRC software received via Nintendo pushing it out to everyone's Wii Us is "owned" by the console, and not by an individual NNID. This means it only shows up under the "Software on this Console" tab of the download list.

Same here, in the US. I haven't looked recently, but I was having trouble with it at one point (Wii U needed a board replaced) and removed and redownloaded it a few times while troubleshooting. That was mid-last year.

Meh, that never really bothered me much.
It's not like you have to get them all to progress or something.

Play through the game normally, getting the shards that you can, and just have fun.
Then, once you're done with that, if you want, go back and get the shards that you missed.

Splatoon if you want more of a multiplayer experience (& it seems a bunch more weapons & maps will be added over the months), Tropical Freeze if you want a single player experience, though Splatoon has a decent Single Player mode, plus the amiibo stuff if you can get them.

Oh hi

Ive been away for a few weeks and ive just noticed that now the WiiU has not one but two Minecraft clones

I mean, at least i think this Island Surival and the other one are Minecraft clones... because ive never played minecraft, and i really dont understand it

Anyway, have you played any of those? This Island Survival isnt expensive, its like $6 on the canadian eshop... should i give it a try? Or the other one? The miiverse communities seem to be pretty popular...

Based on the fact the Splatoon's community is now on fire and you can buy DKC:TF even much later (since you already waited so long), I would say Splatoon.

Both good points.

Altho, this will be the 3rd game I put DKC:TF off for.

I should've said "mode" instead of "story" for Splatoon, but it's still fun.

DKC TF also sometimes goes on sale on the eShop if you want it digitally. I just got it from Club Nintendo's final rewards a few months ago.

But then you miss the 02 fight, which is among the best things about the game (not necessarily gameplay-wise, but in the "oh GOD" way).

Don't get me wrong, I love the game, the idea to merge powers was brilliant and is very funny (despite the powers not having actual movesets), but the hidden shards could have been better implemented.

I have already redownloaded the Wii Fit U trial once. There was no problem.

The trial has no dedicated page any more, though, so it's probably why people think they can't download it again. I didn't know there was a list of stuff you downloaded, from where you could get it again.

This. I paused the time I spent on Splatoon to play other stuff, and it sort of feels weird going back to it because people have progressed without you.

If you're having a bad day, read this and revel in my idiocy. You'll feel better.

Dropped my 3DS in water this morning. Grabbed it out of the water in two seconds, dried off with a towel and motor fan. Then turned it on like an idiot to see if it was working, realized how STUPID that was, turned it off, took the back cover off (to see a few spots of water underneath, joy) and stuck it in a bag of Success Rice. Battery was dry, so maybe the water didn't reach it but. Ugh.

Hopefully, by this time tomorrow, I'll have a working 3DS XL. If not, rip in peace my eShop games. T_T

Small solace, if you do have a dead 3ds XL, Nintendo will transfer if you call them.
