Yep I used advanced controls. I'm not trying to tell anyone they're wrong for preferring Wii controls over GameCube controls. The GameCube controls felt great to me in 2002 and they still feel great to me 12 years later. I wish the Wii controls clicked with me.

Shyfted One posted:That's crazy talk. Prime Trilogy with wiimote controls is the greatest. I didn't like the fact that your movement, which was perfectly bound to a single stick before, was now split by strafing on a stick and aiming with my arm. It just seemed slower.  I'll admit I did not give it much of a try, because by that point when I tried it I paid $20 for the Trilogy collection, knew I could sell it for nearly $100, and felt like I liked the $5 original GameCube game better.

Kilometers Davis posted:I looked this up out of curiosity and you have made me quite happy now. I've been dying to play a (preferably newish) Wario platformer and I think I always assumed that was something completely different and gimmicky/pointless. I'll have to track it down now. I've always been on the Wario wagon but aside from the first Wii Warioware game I haven't played a single game of his. It has a nice difficulty curve, and is relatively short - and very pretty. The gimmicky-ness is kept to a minimum, too. I think there are a few on eBay, sealed, for under $10.

You know how people keep mentioning advanced controls? When I played Metroid Prime (and Modern Warfare for that matter) virtually any movement made the view/aim move. Get that deadzone nice and small.

Flint_Paper posted:Yeah, Sonic Generations was lovely. After only playing the Megadrive stuff, I genuinely enjoued the new versions of the levels. Plus, the re-done music for Chemical Plant Zone was incredible. God the money I'd spend on a good DLC pack for that game. If you have it on PC, then boy do I have news for you!

People say to use advanced for Metroid Prime but I found it waaaaay too sensitive. I had to change it to normal. I guess I suck at the Wii-mote.

Just so you're aware; If you want to get some older games from the N64, SNES, Megadrive, etc, get yourself a Wiimote and a classic controller pro (not the WiiU Pro Controller) and go to the Wii mode. You can access the Wii Shop Channel and get access to a much larger range of Virtual Console games than is currently on the WiiU eShop.

Amazon has it for $48 right now which is probably the lowest you'll get. $48 for 2 games is a drat good deal.

Doug Dinsdale posted:Yeah, I was thinking the same too. Wow, holy poo poo I loved RAD thank you for localizing it. So the voice acting talent were actually real voice actors? I've heard for years that they were largely from workplace instructional videos and took that as legit because good lord that doctor guy explaining Volgara and GRANDMAAAAAAAA certainly lend credence to it.

Shyfted One posted:That's crazy talk. Prime Trilogy with wiimote controls is the greatest. I have no idea how you could play without it set on advanced though. Non-advanced is loving terrible. Prime on Wii to me feels like how an FPS would feel if I tried to play it while holding my mouse in the air. All FPS on Wii to me felt like that honestly. And I'm honestly expecting the star fox game to be a crushing disappointment, that way if it winds up being awesome I'll be happily surprised.

deafmute posted:It's in their current ad(Jul 20 - Jul 26) on page 19 Thanks for the tip! Just took advantage of this. For reference, you can still stack this with the price matching from Amazon. The first place I went to wouldn't do it, the guy said they won't stack a price match with another offer, so the game was the Amazon price plus a $1 reservation I didn't want. I tried to talk around it but he wouldn't do it so I just left. But I checked some forums who were talking about doing this back in June, and they said while some Target employees will say it's against policy, the 15 discount from the reserve card is applied automatically when the card is rung up, so you just have to find a guy who won't notice/won't care enough to cancel it. Then I went to another target and tried out a complicated discount plan: 1) Get the game from the electronics section. 2) Grab a few movies. 3) Price match the game at guest services. Ask if you can ring up the rest of your stuff as well (this is just a distraction so he won't notice the second discount being immediately applied). 4) Atter everything else is rung up, hand the reserve card to the guy as your last item. With any luck he won't notice that the game he price matched to 48 has just dropped another 15. 5) Return the movies the next day. Got my $35 Mario Kart in-hand now. I don't even own a Wii U

The more I think about it the more I wish I had gotten the digital version of Mario Kart 8. I wish there was a way to send your game into Nintendo or something and they'd let you just download it.

Perhaps unsurprisingly when you think about it, they're actually two of the least Mega Man like tracks: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dRHpQFbEthY https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F6SJkjRcSJs

Huh. MM1, though, does have a very different musical style from the rest of the series. Although she did do an arrangement of Flying Machine, so that counts!
