Mercury Crusader posted:I have a physical copy of Street Fighter Alpha 2 for the SNES. It's the only SNES game I own and can think of that has actual load times. The Acclaim Batman Forever game does too and maybe a couple of others from late in the life cycle. The SNES had some serious life squeezed out of it before the end.

I think a lot of SNES games have load times, they're just disguised usually. There's a hiccup when you get to the first boss in Actraiser, for example, and the fade-to-black between levels and areas takes a second or two due to loading. Also, choosing a map in Simcity.

It was also published by Nintendo in the US for some reason, much like how Mega Man 6 was published by Nintendo in the US. I believe it was because of the certain chip in it which caused the load times, which was also used in Star Ocean for the SFC

I always thought the SNES port of Alpha 2 was supposed to be decent? Saturn > SNES > PSX.

Eh, it's good considering the hardware but the PS1 version is definitely better, the SNES version drops even more animation frames and just isn't as sharp.

Are we ever getting the rest of the Sega 3D Classics games here or is there one more lined up in Japan? I really want 3D Outrun and I heard that apparently the sales weren't too good outside Japan for the first "wave" which makes me think we're screwed  e: Outrun came out this month so maybe we have to wait a bit, I dunno. It was like 3 months or so before a rating showed up the last time. Zeether fucked around with this message at 21:31 on May 22, 2014 |

Also if i'm not mistaken they ripped some of the music out to save space or whatever. It plays fine when you're in a match but has the little loading pause right after "FIGHT" and before you can move.

SNES Street Fighter Alpha 2 is really neat from a technical standpoint and that they managed to get as much of it in there as they did but it is absolutely not a good version to actually play.

The Picross-E games would be perfect if the puzzles got as big as they did in the DS picross. Also by number 4 surely we can do with fewer 5X5 and 10X10 grids. The Wii U gamepad was a great fit for the VC Snes picross, I don't understand why they haven't released a modern picross game for the system.

They haven't announced a release date, Nintendo announced a release date, let's hope it actually comes out on that date. Nicalis originally promised this game would be out for the 2012 holidays, so... yeah.

I don't know when they flipped the switch but Nintendoji and Advance Wars DS download codes, previously only available as platinum / gold member awards for Club Nintendo Japan in 2012/2013 are now available for 500 points/800 points on Club Nintendo Japan. The fact they're opening up sale could point to a release overseas?

It's got all original bosses and is actually a bit on the easier side of things for Mega Man. It's a fun game. I played through it a couple of years ago and it only took me a couple days to clear it, whereas I have yet to finish Dr. Wily's Revenge and I've had that one longer.

I wish Jupiter would get to make some actual proper Picross games with a budget again. If you think the e series is lame, wait till you see D3 Publisher's attempt (the less said about Hudson's, the better). The e series features puzzles that don't require any leaps of faith; not so with D3's. D3's also has 20 x 20 puzzles, but the number clues are minuscule even on an XL. I can't imagine how bad this game'd be on a regular or 2DS.

PAL update (week of May 29):quote:WII U RETAIL DOWNLOADS (there's also a bunch of manga available for the 3DS eShop but the PR doesn't specifically list any of it, and it sounds like it's only coming out in France. Kid's stuff like Beyblade, mostly.) Wii U dudes, note the Mario Kart promo if you haven't already: if you own Super Mario Kart for the Wii U VC, you can get the cost of that game deducted from the price of Mario Kart 8 on the eShop. Don't forget to link your Club Nintendo account to your eShop profile before you buy the game, either. Mysterious Murasame Castle was originally released as part of the first wave of Famicom Disk System games alongside Zelda, Metroid and Kid Icarus; it's a fast-paced, top-down action game with music by Koji Kondo, and this will be the first time it's ever been released outside of Japan. (It's also the inspiration for the ninja game in Nintendo Land, in case you were wondering what that was all about.) There are a bunch of Capcom/Warner Bros. games on sale on both consoles this week... mostly ports of stuff you can find elsewhere, but the prices aren't bad. (RE Mercenaries is a must-have at that price.)

The sales on those WiiU Batman games are pretty great... I have City/Origins/Lego Batman 2 on 360 already, but at that price I'd be tempted to pick up the WiiU version of City because it's an awesome game.

It's £40 literally everywhere else so even with the discount it's still £5 more expensive to buy digital. If they'd put it up as £40-£45 I think they would've gotten a lot more people buying it on eShop.

Here's a download code for 40, I wonder if it'll work as part of the promo: http://www.game.co.uk/en/mario-kart...ibuteValue1=107 EDIT: they've got a few VC games under 5GBP... not a huge discount, but it's something: http://www.game.co.uk/en/games/nintendo-eshop/games-under-5/?merchname=home-_-gamerecommends-_-eshop5

So I was just playing through Picross e4 and got a strange feeling of deja vu - turns out they're recycling puzzles from earlier versions. Exhibit A, e2 puzzle X15:  Exhibit B, e4 puzzle SO08:  Maybe it's just in these "Special Puzzles" that are opened up if it detects save data from the previous games, but what's the point if it's just the same puzzle again?

Arkham Origins is missing multiplayer and some of the DLC, Injustice is missing some of the DLC, Street Fighter 3DS is like five versions old now. RE Revelations has a little extra content in the HD versions, maybe some minor paid DLC, I forget. No idea about Lego Batman 2.
