#311057 Post Here Every Time You Get Something!

Posted by Portal on 27 March 2015 - 11:45 AM in The Café

20150326_213048.jpg

Where'd you find the Samus one? And how's the quality? Amiibo level? More so?



#311029 Iwata Asks: Xenoblade 3D !

Posted by Portal on 26 March 2015 - 05:59 PM in General Gaming

Huh. I never really thought about maxing out the play time. Pretty neat to see a game so huge the play time counter needs to be upped. I'm glad I plan on getting this in the summer. Otherwise I wouldn't be able to focus on anything else!



#311023 Hyrule Warriors Character Unlock

Posted by Portal on 26 March 2015 - 04:38 PM in Wii U Games and Software

Umm what does this have to do with trolling? You want details? Just Google for them, they are in almost every review. I'm not sure how long all of you have been playing the Dynasty Warriors series, but I played every installment religiously since the fall of 2000 on PS2 (including the Japan-only exclusives), and yeah, it has gotten a little stale, considering they have changed less than 5% of the gameplay in a decade and a half.

The Zelda universe allows for an amazing open-space hack and slash game, and KOEI totally blew it. I'm not even talking about the injustice they did the Zelda IP in the presentation department, because gameplay comes first, and the gameplay just doesn't hold up.

Erm, L-targeting, weak points, traditional Zelda items? I'll admit the only other Warriors game I've played is Chronicles on 3DS, but the gameplay is different. And there's also Adventure Mode, the Challenge Mode, and well-priced DLC that works pretty well too.

Oh, and we don't do "use google to figure my opinions out" around here. 'Cus like, we like to have good discussions and help each other out and such. Remember that before 3dude totally gets on you.



#311012 Hyrule Warriors Character Unlock

Posted by Portal on 26 March 2015 - 02:44 PM in Wii U Games and Software

This game could have been so much more. What a waste.

Care to explain how? Only thing I wanted was the game to be about one of the wars in Hyrule's past. The story is still pretty decent though, and the gameplay was smart with a whole lot of content.



#310943 Yoshi's Woolly World Release Date? (Europe)

Posted by Portal on 24 March 2015 - 11:46 AM in Wii U Games and Software

Well, that sounds about right. There's been a couple rumors of a ND soon, so it makes sense. Although Woolly is misspelled. Probably want to keep that in mind.



#310760 Puzzles and Dragons Super Mario Bro. Edition - 3DS

Posted by Portal on 19 March 2015 - 05:14 AM in General Gaming

From Wiki: Puzzle & Dragons is a puzzle video game with elements of RPGs and strategy games, developed by GungHo Online Entertainment for the iOS, Android, and Kindle Fire platforms

update from PR,

Huh. I thought this was just a random $10 puzzle game. Guess not. I'll definitely have to check out that demo.



#310718 Nintendo gone Mobile/Nintendo NX system

Posted by Portal on 18 March 2015 - 12:46 PM in General Gaming

I think the NX is a platform of next gen devices to come and each will one connect and communicate with each other through better account services, online etc. VR could be one of those devices but I don't expect it initially.

NX Platform Devices

  • 3ds handheld successor
  • wii u home console successor
  • new device (tablet, box, hdmi stick? appealing to the mobile side with it's own curated online store)
  • VR device
I think the next device to come out would be the handheld successor, or that new device... with the others to follow a year apart.

Nintendo put itself in position to support more devices, they've been growing, collaborating, partnering.

I refer to this quote again to put my ideas in perspective,
I'm pretty sure that would be the general idea. Or maybe me and you are the only ones thinking seriously about this, as opposed to freaking out.



#310652 Nintendo gone Mobile/Nintendo NX system

Posted by Portal on 17 March 2015 - 06:41 AM in General Gaming

I'm thinking, in terms of games, this could be something like Sony's PS Plus, Minis, and Mobile. I think it would be awesome if, along with a few brand new games on mobile devices, you could download a free app and buy a subscription for VC games. I know I'll probably be off at college in a year or two, and while I'm not supposed to bring a handheld, I fully intend on using smartphone emus. An official VC app would be great for playing all sorts of classics across a ridiculous amount of platforms.



#310626 Warner Bros. To Release Lego Toys To Life?

Posted by Portal on 16 March 2015 - 08:42 AM in General Gaming

I can honestly say I didn't see this coming, but it's pretty obvious in hindsight. Not sure if I like it. The Minifig series is already at $4, sets have been going up ever so slightly, and only certain figures that aren't very well comparatively priced? I dunno about this.



#310588 Teaser: Happy Mask Salesman to be in new Zelda game.

Posted by Portal on 15 March 2015 - 06:18 PM in Wii U Games and Software

I'm gonna stick to my theory when a new 3DS Zelda was announced and users were brainstorming ideas. My theory? A new 3D Zelda that finishes the OoT Trilogy. Happy Mask Salesman shows up in this hypothetical third game. I can't see HMS in Zelda U. He isn't even in HW!



#310523 Currently playing thread

Posted by Portal on 14 March 2015 - 11:58 AM in General Gaming

what is the best and easiest to pick up and play RPG on the 3ds?

Pick up a copy of Dragon Quest 9. Download the demos for KH3D, EOU, EO4, and M&L: Dream Team. Check out Fantasy Life. Same guys who made DQ9. I've heard Radiant Historia is pure awesome too. That's a good list to start with.



#310469 Code Name S.T.E.A.M

Posted by Portal on 13 March 2015 - 10:47 AM in General Gaming

Almost forgot this game has multiplayer too... we gotta do that bro.

Copy just came

Also, a live stream with Wil Wheaton (voice of Lincoln) today at 2:30 pacific, 5:30pm est.

http://www.twitch.tv/twitch

I'll pm you about multiplayer. Just got back from picking my copy from GS. I also got the MM3D pin. :D I totally forgot about. Gonna keep it sealed for now. Might resell. Looking forward to seeing how it compares to FE:A.



#310398 TRINE: Enchanted Edition Wii U Date Announced

Posted by Portal on 12 March 2015 - 10:01 AM in Wii U News

I thought Wii U already had Trine. Or just Trine 2 until now?

Trine 2 the WiiU got as a launch title with all DLC. Trine Enchanted Edition is the first Trine game redone to look as good as 2 and IIRC includes all DLC. That came out on the eShop today.



#310388 Bravely Second New Info's

Posted by Portal on 12 March 2015 - 05:20 AM in General Gaming

I think those might be FE:A character models. :P Still waiting on a localization announcement. More time to beat BD I guess.



#310362 Code Name S.T.E.A.M

Posted by Portal on 11 March 2015 - 06:12 PM in General Gaming

Eh, once I played the demo I knew what I was getting into. The game could've got an average of 25% and I wouldn't cancel my pre-order. Very much looking forward to this Friday.



#310337 Game Freak and Sega teasing something

Posted by Portal on 11 March 2015 - 12:35 PM in General Gaming

Well, I got elephants right. Not sure which is more surprising. That this game is a 2D action platformer, or that it's skipping WiiU. I'm not planning on buying it, but given it's being published by Sega and developed by GameFreak, you'd think it would be on a Nintendo platform.



#310299 Etrian Odyssey 2 Untold 3DS

Posted by Portal on 10 March 2015 - 12:11 PM in General Gaming

Yay! Localization confirmation! I still haven't beaten EOU, or even started EO4, but I look forward to this and Mystery Dungeon.



#310257 Fantasy Life 3ds - Out Soon! 10/24

Posted by Portal on 09 March 2015 - 08:52 AM in General Gaming

Thanks for the info! I am a magician currently (go figure haha). What is your life? I just started chapter 4 last night. Let me know when you get back into it, I want to try out some of the multiplayer stuff. Ally mode, and we can join together and explore, trade some items.

I've done Mercenary and Miner, though not mastered. It's good to atleast start on one of the "secondary" classes so you don't have to miss out on as much towards the final chapter. Much easier to stock up on rarer items. I'm good to play online whenever. Just PM me.



#310227 Fantasy Life 3ds - Out Soon! 10/24

Posted by Portal on 08 March 2015 - 06:18 PM in General Gaming

Soon!


I am bumping an old topic but worth it. haha.

I wanted to ask you, how many hours were you in until you decided to change your life? I am roughly 20 hours in and haven't done so yet, I have been exploring a lot, leveling up, and am on Chapter 3 for the story.

Grind your first life to your third or fourth rank, and then change it. Preferably a few chapters into the game IIRC. I really need to get back to this game. Put 30-something hours in and I'm on the final chapter. That was December. I've gotten so bad at starting new games without finishing older ones. Maybe after I beat MM3D? Or Codename: Steam since it comes out this week and MM3D will then be on the backburner? Ugh.



#310104 Mario vs Donkey Kong Tipping Stars Out March 5th

Posted by Portal on 05 March 2015 - 03:14 PM in Wii U Games and Software

NoA finally got cross-buy. This game and OlliOlli give download codes for the other system. Now if VC games would do the same thing...



#310103 First Print Run of Rodea the Sky Soldier for Wii U will include Wii version

Posted by Portal on 05 March 2015 - 03:10 PM in Wii U Games and Software

Ah ok, so they're different games. "Wii version of the game" from the OP makes it sound like the Wii U game is just a port. Thanks!

It looks like Super Mario Galaxy meets Kid Icarus: Uprising

Holy crap. They're actually two separate games!? This will definitely be my next pre-order as soon as I find the spare cash.



#310075 Game Freak and Sega teasing something

Posted by Portal on 04 March 2015 - 07:06 PM in General Gaming

First thought I had was Sonic Chronicles. That was Bioware, but still. I'm thinking a strategy RPG that involves moving elephants around the map, feeding them peanuts one turn, and the next turn shooting a grenade out the trunk. I might be a little off.



#310064 First Print Run of Rodea the Sky Soldier for Wii U will include Wii version

Posted by Portal on 04 March 2015 - 11:35 AM in Wii U Games and Software

I'll really have to consider this. Especially because of that first-run.



#310057 Box Boy! Exclusive to 2ds/3ds - From creators of Kirby

Posted by Portal on 04 March 2015 - 09:38 AM in General Gaming

I was waiting for it to come over here. Can't wait to play it!



#310043 eShop WayForward sale March 12 - 19, three games 75% off

Posted by Portal on 04 March 2015 - 05:20 AM in Wii U Games and Software

I have all of these except Shantae. If you're wondering, buy Hyper Drive Edition on WiiU and 2 on 3DS. Unless you like 8-bit sprites more than gorgeous hand-drawn ones. MSF!2 on WiiU is the exact same as 3DS.
