Nintendo [ARCHIVED] Video Game • Page 72

Do you think they'd still price some games at 40USD? Mainly the RPG developers from 3DS

 

I saw it at a local video game shop a few weeks ago for like $5 and I truly regret not buying it there because it is a classic.

It also helps I'm a huge fan of Universal Studios and go there a lot.

 

Maybe but I wouldn't hold your breath.

 

They have funny and clever dialogue. I wouldn't say great stories though

 

I don't even remember another story besides the traditional Mario, but I generally like how they stick to the 8 worlds and then one bonus... just a different spin on the same game every time.

 

The Donkey Kong vs Mario stories are funny. It's either Mario and DK had a miscommunication or an elaborate setup for Mario by DK leading to a surprise party.

I'm glad they hashed it out together since the Cranky Kong days. They seem like OK friends now.

 

I guess I meant if you are going to own 2 consoles, you would get more variety if one of them is Nintendo. The Xbox doesn't seem to have enough exclusives for me to warrant purchasing it an addition to my PS4. If you say its better for online play, fair enough. If Nintendo would ever make a system that gets the same amount of third party support, I would go back to being a single console owner. My PS4 is basically a Nintendo drought filler.

 

Absolutely, but only if you buy it brand new. You need the stand for the full experience. I know it sounds weird.

 

Yeah the stand is useful, but I did ok sitting on the couch with a throw pillow on my lap and the 3DS resting on that. Great game once you get a hang of the controls

 

I don't particularly care for Nintendo's games, tho, haha. I like the UI and online play for xb1 (and I have ppl to play with), and I'm enjoying exclusives like forza. and I like the ps4's exclusives the most.

 

PS4 exclusives the most??? Hehehe. Converted!!!

 

I wouldn't have bought it otherwise lol

 

Hey that's understandable. I don't personally know any other adults who share my love for Nintendo, some of my friends kids do though haha.

 

Sticker Star was bad, but I really liked Color Splash. Though I would like a return to the TTYD formula

 

What I saw of Color Splash looked like a horrible combat system but wonderful everything else.

 

Yeah it wasn't as bad as SS, but they need to ditch that combat system. The writing and visuals are just so damn good though

 

The Nintendo Switch will have Neo Geo games (updated)

 

So our local game store hosted an amiibo raffle, you pay 18USD for 3 random amiibo figures. I scored Marth, Palutena, 2 Falco, 1 Lucas and an animal crossing amiibo.

I already have Marth but if I can sell that and one Falco, It was as if I got all those at the price of 1 amiibo haha. Or I could always trade it.

 

If the numbers out there are accurate, the Switch already sold considerably more units before its release than the WiiU did in 6 weeks, and that's just the US

 

I thought that would be the case. Awesome.

Honestly, Nintendo made an amateur mistake even with the NAME of the Wii U. I can't even tell you how many times I had to explain to people that it wasn't a deluxe Wii or something. Like 90% of the people I know heard the name and said, "No thanks. I already have one" without checking it out.

 

Definitively one of the more puzzling decisions they have made. Big companies sometimes do stuff like that and 15 years later someone writes a 20 page article about it that blows your mind.

 

My two older brothers talked to me about the Switch, and are actually planning to buy one.

Power of branding and a good commercial. With the wii u I had to describe what it was exactly, and why its good so that was certainly a nice change of pace.

 

Are any of the 3DS Fire Emblem games (or any on the VC, if they exist) a good entry point to the series? One of the few franchises that I have yet to dive into, but have always heard good things.

 

Awakening is a fantastic entry.

 

Really hoping we get a new Fatal Frame game.
