Should also be on 3DS at least as an eshop game. It was one of the most funny local multi sessions I ever had when I played it on DS (namco museam was it?).

Whoa! Yumi's Odd Oddyssey / Sayonara Umihara Kawase for $10? So little for so much awesomeness. If you like mastering a challenging game filled with secrets, with stuff to unlock, a fantastic soundtrack and charm up the wazoo, then get this game 'cause it's cool beans and several kinds of fun.
of them are needed. Then you have to
I think it's all about Kudos, yeah, and also about time. At least that's how I got the two S Ranks. I did 2:48:86 on the first one and 00:14:86 on the second one, with a High Score of 232125 and 35358, respectively. But this is probably the bare minimum you can expect to have to do to get S in those stages since, like I said, I'm not very good at this. Sorry I can't be of more help!
Congratulations on beating the game! Yeah, all

beat the last level with a special pendant equipped (you have to wear it throughout the level, of course, you can't cheat and equip it at the last second). Along with the good ending you also get the Mega Man-esque gun and four Special Mission levels that reuse and remix layouts and graphics from the other levels and are kinda hard and long and fun.
Not with all of them. There's at least two pendants that I have that do not have Prevasion and it's probable that I'm missing some more that don't. But yeah, for a long time I too thought only the Prevasion Chain worked like that and never bothered checking.
Well, all the good ones are automatic. The rest are super gimmicky and only useful in very particular situations, if ever, like Mizuchi. But Cerberus, Technos, Vasuki and Dullahan have auto-fire. Naga can be charged and Orochi technically doesn't have auto-fire, but everytime you fire it, like 20 shots come out so it makes up for it.
Uff, you're talking with the wrong guy here about this. I've only gotten two S ranks and on the easiest levels by far: one on the "tutorial" mission (1st Sumeragi) and another on the super short, straight-line one near the end (Urban Run). I do have mostly As and a few Bs on the others, though. S+ Ranks are completely and absolutely out of my reach.

Try doing as much damage as possible as fast as possible with normal attacks before it tries to use the missiles, then use Astraphere right next to the head. That should open up the weak spot and just one Luxcalibur should be enough to take care of it. Both times you have to jump and be as close as possible to make sure you do the most possible damage. It goes down in just a few seconds with this method.

Yup, Namco Museum DS. That game is still pretty easy to find and dirt cheap, so I recommend people track it down if they really wanna play Pac-Man Vs. some more.

Can't say no to Yumi's Odd Oddyssey at that price.

It's worth it, I'd say. I bought it for $20 earlier in the year and feel that I got my money's worth out of it. Be prepared for terrible screen tearing though...I forgot how spoiled we are as Wii U owners, to experience it like that is pretty jarring.

Loved this game and I never played the first. That price is a steal. Combat is glorious.

I need to check out Umihara Kawase, I always forget there's a 3DS version
Speedruns are hilarious because of prevasion, I just run through half the enemies. S ranks, still having trouble with that, don't think I'll get most of those missions done. Also man the drop system is wonky. I've beaten a dozen levels and still can't make 90% of the items I couldn't make before I started farming. There aren't even missions for several of these that I can see. And, of course, it's WAY beyond the point where any of these items are particularly useful. The game really should have used cash ONLY for the shop and maybe some equips from challenges, the drop system is really weird and just means I can't get jack shit for items. I can make like 10 million of the items I DO have stuff for and the rest I haven't made once.
I got the tank thing beat flawlessly, you just have to stand as close as possible to it when the missile volley starts, then slowly walk to the left and jump over the last shots. With proper equips it should die without a second attack, was pretty easy. ...did not award an S rank though, apparently I have to kill it slower and gain more kudos or??? That or maybe a Luxcalibur instakill will be enough, I noticed I got crazy extra points for killing a boss with it.

Wait until you see the second giant enemy crab! XD Like I said in the other thread, you really should try playing as one of the children. It makes things much more manageable a lot of the time. It's a hard game but very well designed. There's often more than one way to get someplace and the level and game design really encourages creativity. Getting better at it, mastering the controls and finally doing something you thought was impossible until you actually manage to do it (often by a hair) feels extremely satisfying. I jumped and shouted and danced around a few times while playing, and I must have looked like a goofy idiot, swinging my head along with the character everytime I tried to make a tough jump.
You really should! It's my favorite game in the series. $10 is a steal for such a good game. I'm about 20 hours in and still have three backpacks to find and four illustrations and two songs to unlock. I still need to beat the Survival Challenge mode through four different paths and my times and ranks are absolutely pathetic still. So it's not a short game either.
The "Beat X Level in X Minutes" missions are really easy, yeah, but I wasn't talking about those when I mentioned my times. What I mean is that in order to get an S Rank you also need to beat the stage quickly, except that you can't use prevasion like you do in speedruns because that would break your kudos combo. For example, if you use the method I mentioned to beat the tank in only a couple of seconds, you would get an S Rank in that stage for sure. You probably got a better score than I did but in more than the 14 seconds it took me. It's not only points that determine the rank, but a combination of points and speed. So, no, you don't have to beat it slower but faster! I'm not good at keeping my kudos count up so it's probable that I won't be getting many more S Ranks, and getting even one S+ Rank is an impossible dream for me at this point!

I didn't see this mentioned in the last few pages: Looks like Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney - Dual Destinies is on sale for $14.99 (in the US at least) through December 2. Has it been this low before?
My plan is to drop 170 bucks at Best Buy, get Captain Toad and throw the rest at the Wii U eshop.
VC and whatever weird stuff that goes on sale between now and the end of the year, here I come.
That GetClose game that's coming out in NA today looks kinda fun, but be warned: it's a multi-player-only game, despite what's listed on NOA's website. They made the same mistake with Sportsball and then refused to refund people who bought it thinking it'd have single-player when it didn't, so it'd be nice if people didn't fall in the same trap again.

Yes, we've known that for two years now.
What bugs? But yea, screen tearing is really annoying in this version. I wish Nordic got someone to patch it up and add screenshot support when they took over.
Like the hat?

I bought wheel of fortune and jeopardy last time they were on sale. Both good versions for ten bucks. Little glitchy (once had jeopardy just make like every voice sample just play over top of each other non stop) but it's still fun enough. Has off tv play, but no sound, sadly.

Well, I can save my CN coins, since Metroid II is going on sale, then I could pick up Metroid Fusion while I'm at in.
Otherwise, very lackluster for me.

Disappointed. At least I'm getting Darksiders II, and if I had a 3DS I would gladly buy Yumi.
Oh right, I forgot Mighty Final Fight was out today. Very tempted to nab a $35 eShop card from Best Buy since it's $29.75.
& wasn't there suppose to be an update for Mighty Gunvolt soon? I know the DLC is suppose to hit Japan this week, but I guess it'll be next week or so for the US.

Pretty sure it's this week for NA too.

2 more hours until I waste a lot of money on the Black Friday "sales", finally I'll get Dark Moon and M&L.
EDIT: Heh, they were smart. Mighty Gunvolt free with AZG until 28/11, then they start a promo on the game on the same day, after the update. Shame, if the promo included MG I would get it.

Welp, got $30 of eShop codes for $25. Now I just hope Best Buy gets it to me by next Thursday, because for some reason, they said I'd get it by the 12th.
Funny thing is, with Gunvolt being $9.99 & Might Gunvolt being $3.99, it's actual $1 cheaper to get both compared to before getting MG for free with Gunvolt.
Even though I love Mario & Luigi games (including PiT), I'm hesitant to get Dream Team digitally because of how mixed I've seen reception of it. I actually didn't finish BIS, and if Dream Team is as long as people say, I can't imagine having time for it. I'd rather have the option to trade it or sell it once I do get it.

Ah, ok, thanks. I once thought about buying it but the Time Trial aspects that I've heard didn't entice me.
Woo, downloading Breath of Fire. I love the fact that games are so small on the Wii U, I've got NSMBU, Wind Waker HD, Child of Light, Wii Fit U, Pullblox World, Earthbound, Mega Man 1-3, Pac-Man, Brain Training and Mario Kart & Hyrule Warriors DLC all digitally, and I've still got 9.5GB of space left.
I hope there's not any EU eShop Black Friday/Cyber Monday deals or I'm gonna run out of space...

Yup, bought $30 worth for $25 not too long. Now I just to figure out if I should spend it on Hyrule Warriors' DLC or spread it out more....& hopefully it'll get here before next week when the sale ends.
do they send you a code? or they send you the physical card?
They send you the actual card.
