Some moms are really protective My mom would probably try to convince me that I never actually had a gameboy though.

Renegade Kid has announced a new 3DS eShop game: Xeodrifter, a "bite-sized metroidvania" comparable to Ikachan in scope. There's a dev diary with a QR code to a 3D screenshot here: http://www.gonintendo.com/s/234451-gonintendo-exclusive-renegade-kid-unveils-xeodrifter-for-3ds-eshop He also talks about what's going on with some of their other announced games: Cult County ain't happening, Treasurenauts is on hold, some licensed thing they were making is dead.

I'd prefer it to be closer to Mutant Mudds in scope, since that game started out sort of pricey but then got two substantial updates with a bunch more levels somewhere along the way. But I am still interested.

PAL update (week of August 7):quote:WII U VIRTUAL CONSOLE Wii U dudes, note the sales: aside from from the mostly crappy NES games, there's a sale on the Wii U-exclusive Scram Kitty, as well as some sort of promo for Toki Tori 2+ (there's no date listed, so it may be a permanent thing?) Xtreme Sports is WayForward's take on California Sports by way of Pokemon. I haven't played much of it, but I remember hearing that the publisher they worked with for that game had no idea about publishing for Game Boy and let them develop for the most expensive and highest-capacity carts available, which came back to bite them in the arse when they developed Shantae for that same cart and no-one else was willing to publish a game on a cart that big.

GBC Mario Golf is supposedly a surprisingly good game with relaxing music and weirdo little RPG elements. I guess SF64 if you don't have it would be a good one?

Any post-NES Open Mario golf game is a good golf game, and I played the everloving poo poo out of NES Open with my dad. For once, a sure-thing to grab.

Ugh, I love Tetris Attack but I hate playing DSi ware games on my 3DS. Really wish they'd put up a 3DS picross or something.
|
# ? Aug 4, 2014 20:55 |

Assuming the DSi version is like the DS one, don't bother. They changed the physics of how blocks drop compared to the SNES/N64/GCN versions and if you play those with any sort of regularity it will gently caress you up. Plus they removed all the charm from the game, it's all just generic backgrounds with meh music.

JP-only news for now, but worth posting anyway: Ancient Games (Yuzo Koshiro's studio) has officially announced a 3DS eShop sequel to their XBLIG game Protect Me Knight - it has "around ten times the content" of the original and will include four-player local co-op, and Koshiro will be handling the music again, of course. It'll be out next month in Japan, international release still not confirmed. Here's some footage from the XBLIG version: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RJqbu8K4a4w

Steel Diver Sub Wars 3.0 is up, here are the changes:quote:Battle online with players on your Nintendo 3DS Friend List (Premium version only). While I'm here... there's a Mario Kart 8 patch coming at the end of the month that'll improve the netcode, add the map to the TV screen, add a records screen for each player and some other minor changes (menu defaults to "next race" instead of replays, edit others' highlights, save last used kart loadout, etc). It'll also include these three Mercedes karts: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vDaCFD32Uhs

Map on the screen, and a records page sounds just like what I was missing. Can't wait. Also Mercedes. Vroom.

In a weird twist, it looks like Nintendo will be putting out NOTHING for the Japanese Wii U Virtual Console next week. I think this might be the first week since launching where they don't plan to put anything out. Pretty strange-- they've been pretty good about maintaining a decent combination of volume and variety every single week until now. Going from Fire Emblem: The Sacred Stones, Final Fight and Mega Man 7 this week to nothing to next week is a bit of a jump. The 3DS VC hasn't been updated since, like, May or something, so maybe I shouldn't even be surprised.

I've heard whispers on the internet that Super Mario Kart was just made available on the US Wii U eShop. No fanfare, no signs or hints about it on the website, not even a Miiverse community for it yet.

When the DS version came out years ago somebody started a tournament thread, which had brackets and everything, which was a lot of fun.

The Machine posted:Your first Mario Kart is always the best. So yes, you are right. I disagree- I played a lot of Super Mario Kart, but Mario Kart 64 is IMO the best Mario Kart. Mario Kart Wii was made by communists. Not Marxists who believe in workers controlling the means of production, but Cold War propaganda strawman communists who hate success and want to punish winners.

cbirdsong posted:8 does lack a proper Battle Mode. This is also why I always come back to Double Dash. Bob-omb Blast just happens to combine two of my favourite things: Mario Kart and constant explosions. I assume they didn't bring it back because the mode gets kind of samey, and is absolutely broken. Still, I love it, and I want it back.

Super Mario Kart is a racing game focused on mechanics, Mario Kart 8 is focused on spectacle and a more party setting, if that makes sense. They're 2 games I love a lot for completely different reasons.

Double Dash also has a 16-player mode. You just need, like, $2000 to buy everything you need to do it properly.
