BGrifter posted:Going away on a trip and I've settled on Link Between Worlds for a Zelda game, but I'm still on the fence about a Mario title. I know Super Mario 3D Land is the more popular title, but I hated Mario 64 and haven't touched a 3D Mario since. NSMB2 looks more like Super Mario World, my favourite Mario title. 3D Land takes 2D Mario level design and puts it in 3D. It's basically what Mario 64 "should" have been in terms of maintaining the feel of the older games 8-bit Miniboss posted:Huh, the Giant Bomb Quick Look for Majora's Mask taught me that I can block the damage done by the Bomb Mask by pointing the shield up. I never knew that. You don't have to point it anywhere, just be shielding and you'll be fine

Haruharuharuko posted:NSMB2 feels like a fan game though enjoyable its kind of garbage. 3D land is a system seller it singlehandedly justifies 3d and feels very little like 64 other than that its a 3d mario game the levels are self contained and it has some of the best unlockable content out there buy that one. 3D Land and World feel like the true sequels to the 2D Era of Mario.

It's like playing the missing link between SMW and Mario 64.

Pablo Gigante posted:Fun fact: The Wii actually does not have a native Home menu. The Home menu is hard-coded into every single Wii game separately. It explains why some games have super laggy Home menus, some have stretched Home menus, some have a screenshot of the game in the background, others just have black, and so on. It was just such a freekin weird way to do it. Edit: Going more into it, Wii games had no access to any kind of alway-running system level stuff. Whenever a new feature was introduced on the Wii's OS, old games were completely unable to take advantage. Like when SDHC support was added, existing games still couldnt read SDHC cards.

The wii and the ds both had goofy per-game system implementations like that. Each ds game had its own complete networking stack on the cart, there was no system-wide networking to take advantage of. That must have been how nintendo did it last gen.

Any recommendations for a Pokémon game? I just bought my first 3DS (nuXL) yesterday and I'm not sure if I should err towards the X/Y or OR/AS. There's not much nostalgia value in the Gen 3 remakes as I skipped that gen so the playing field is a little more leveled.

X/Y's probably the better one to start with if you'd like to ride some nostalgia. You get given your choice of Gen-1 starter a little ways into the game, along with a pretty good spread of previous-gen pokemon mixed in with the new ones.

ORAS derives a lot of enjoyment from nostalgia and aside from that, the Pokemon selection isn't as diverse, the game is ridiculously easy and it still adheres to the old design philosophy where you need to carry like 5 HM moves on you at once.

The series has actually been seeing steadily declining sales (Awakening was actually going to be the last game in the series if it didn't sell over 250k or something like that), and combined with the fact that FE has always been a B-series for Nintendo, it's not surprising at all that most people haven't played most of the series. Shadow Dragon and Radiant Dawn underperformed, we didn't get New Mystery at all, then Awakening gets a huge marketing blitz and the benefit of being the marquee title for the 3DS at the time of its release? Doesn't take a genius to put two and two together there.

Well that's when I discovered the series. Who the gently caress are these guys? Oh there's a GameCube game of it coming out...holy shot this is amazing! But even if you were playing Melee back then you might have just thought it was some Japan Sword dude, who cares. Everyone play Fire Emblem if you haven't what's wrong with you its amazing.

Tbh I've tried multiple times to get into the GBA FEs and never could because they weren't FFTA, so I'd just go beat FFTA again instead.

I am still waiting for a new grid tactics game where I have a handful of characters that have changing jobs with large skillsets, status effects, etc., rather than FE where it's pick a weapon or spell or two to whittle down the enemy on boring battlefields.

The newest FE has characters that have different classes and large skillsets based on them.  There are also status effects but they're probably not what you're looking for and it's still largely FE.

ChaosArgate posted:The newest FE has characters that have different classes and large skillsets based on them. I played the newest (if you are referring to Awakening) and it didn't grab me at all. The "skills" were things like "chance to not lose weapon durability" and ""+10% damage for whatever" were they not? The only variance in attacks were the weapons you equipped.

I picked up that Devil Survivor Overclocked game not knowing much about it and it scratches that FFTA itch surprisingly well.
