I like the idea of the shuffling themes. But I'd like the idea of letting me change the music on themes or disabling it. There are some themes I'd buy but won't because of the music. Custom themes would be nice too but we'll never get that.

InspectorCarbonara posted:Does anyone know how Pokemon Pinball Ruby/Sapphire compares to the original Pokemon Pinball on Gameboy? I loving loved that game but I never played the GBA one. It's way easier. I still haven't caught Mew in the original and I caught Jirachi like the day I bought R&S. It's very similar to the first game in terms of rules, but they dropped the number of times you have to hit targets in order to activate things or catch Pokémon. The speed is also way slower (especially compared to the madness of that directional arrow shooting the ball around on the Blue table) and the screen scrolls instead of being divided into halves and flipping back and forth between them. I didn't really care for it at first compared to the original, but it has grown on me, mostly because it looks and sounds nice. Games can last a long time, though, which can get boring in pinball.

gently caress. I don't own any themes yet, but knowing that I don't have to pick one and I can just shuffle through them all?

Is Azure Striker Gunvolt the game everyone was losing their minds over when it first came out? I have 28 hours of flying & layovers to go through next week so I'm stuffing my 3DS with things to take the edge off. And how's the 8-bit spinoff Mighty Gunvolt? $3.99 is right around "sure why not?" territory for me, but I could put that money towards Wario Land II or Shovel Knight which I've been meaning to grab for a while.

AS Gunvolt is really quite good. It probably won't keep you busy for 28 hours but it is a satisfying game for the price. Mighty Gunvolt you could take or leave, it basically plays like a simple Mega Man clone but without getting new powers and with rather simple level design. Shovel Knight and Wario Land 2 are both better options, honestly.

Mighty Gunvolt is rubbish, don't waste your money on it. It's disgustingly easy because the stages are barren of enemies. The game is sort of fun when you play as the GalGun character because you get a double jump and an ability to charm enemies, but Beck and Gunvolt play like poo poo. One boss is a pain in the rear end with the latter two because he has an attack pattern that's nearly impossible to avoid without double jumping over him. I know it's a quick cheapy thing Inti Creates threw together, but MG's complete lack of quality makes me worried about Mighty No 9.

absolutely anything posted:I haven't played Gunvolt but if you haven't played Wario Land 2 and Shovel Knight then come on son I played Wario Land II years ago, and I've had Shovel Knight on my wishlist for a while. Truthfully I probably don't need to buy anything for this trip, I've hardly touched Fire Emblem and am one badge into Pokemon X. Also still in Low Rank in Monster Hunter 3U despite nearly 50 hours of playing

Wayforward put out a new trailer for the Wii U version of Shantae and the Pirate's Curse - as advertised, it uses the same pixel graphics with HD character portraits and such: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=owekgBASJ0Y According to their twitter, the game is in final cert right now and could still be out this year (in NA) if Nintendo gives 'em the nod.

Woah, when did they get MMBN2? We only just got the first one in August and knowing Nintendo's slow schedule with this I'm not even expecting MMBN2 until next year. Wonder how they're going to handle Trading (I'm expecting that it'll be dummied out, and you'll be unable to get all the chips in both games).

A good poster posted:And charging forty euros for it. Well that part is no surprise. They charge $30-$40 for those games in the US (the Star Wars spinoff one cost that much alone on consoles) and we all know companies don't convert currencies when they could just paste a different symbol in front of the original price even if it does mean its almost twice as expensive because of it. And its Activision, of course.

PAL update (week of December 11):quote:WII U RETAIL DOWNLOADS NA update (week of December 11): quote:WII U RETAIL DOWNLOADS (not listed: lots of shovelware sales that I can't be arsed typing up and/or Nintendo can't be arsed listing actual prices for) Lucadian Chronicles is a card battle RPG by some ex-Square Enix/Nexon guys, including one guy who worked on My Life As A King. It looks pretty fully-featured, with online async multiplayer and Miiverse integration and all that junk, and there don't seem to be any microtransactions beyond the full unlock fee which takes away the daily play limit. Xeodrifter is a metroidvania from the team behind Mutant Mudds, and it looks to have a similar plane-shifting gimmick. It's also coming out on Steam even though they advertised it as exclusive to 3DS, so if you're in PAL-land and you really wanna play it you don't have to wait for them to (not) release it in Europe. Woah Dave! is a single-screen Mario Bros./Bubbke Bobble-style action game from the makers of the Bit.Trip series. I haven't played it but it's also on PC and people seem to like it okay, so it's probably worth a buck. Steel Empire is a remake of the old Megadrive/GBA steampunk shooting game. It's usually $30, hence why noone bought it. Tested with Robots is, uh, optimistically priced. PaletteSwappedNinja fucked around with this message at 15:29 on Dec 11, 2014 |

They've had to lay off a lot of people, they really need this you guys. Please give the Angry birds developers your money. They made one succesful game and rereleased it with a new coat of paint for years, they have earned it. They got to keep afloat before movie of the year 2015 Angry Birds is released, saving Sony pictures.

I know it's been on sale for a week already, but I've played a couple levels of Azure Striker Gunvolt and it's pretty rad. I don't know how long it is but the amount of responsiveness and polish is definitely worth $10.

Didn't it already have an ESRB rating? I think MegaMan Zero are fun hard platformers but I hate the scoring system the currency system and being actively punished for seeking out and using power ups.

Anyone have any $20 ideas what I should buy on WiiU eshop to get one last code while the promotion lasts? Captain Toad rolled me over to one $5 code and having 300 remaining points, so 200 more will get me one last code. My collection of eShop titles is somewhat extensive, so I'm more looking for diamonds in the rough, I have most of the more mainstream ones.

Yeah I don't really care for those Shantae games anyway. If there's something I like for $19.99 I'll be fine with picking it up and maybe spending 0.50 on one of those cheap shovelwares.

I'm 27 points away from my next five bucks so I'm just snagging one of the next Wii U downloads they offer.
