Sticker Star is the worst first party game Nintendo has put out in a decade
It is a game where the optimal way to play is to ignore 90% of its content, and it is a short and ludicrously simple game to begin with. It is the result of focus testing on an already bad RPG, where people said that the plot was plodding and tedious, and the response was to remove the plot entirely, and also all the characters and gameplay mechanics..

It's probably not the worst first-party Nintendo game ever since there have been a bunch of stinkers that never left Japan, but it is really, really bad.

AVGN game was pretty fun I thought. It's just basically a game where you have to pay careful attention to the environments and the rules that get established, learn a bosses pattern well, and figure out when it's safe to attack or get past normal enemies. The music is really good and I like the sprite work. The text is somewhat embarrassing but I've cracked up at it more than once just at the absurdity of it.

I like how the "Miyamoto said they should only use existing characters" thing has somehow devolved to "the game literally has no characters or plot or dialogue!"

Sticker Star isn't the best game but the hyperbole over it is more the result of fan backlash against an interview that was exaggerated into hyperbole than it is about the game itself.

Sticker Star was a boring adventure game that suffered from trying its shoehorned in rpg mechanics and would have been better as just the adventure game parts without all the padding and wandering around tedious trial and error poo poo.

I bought it like two days before they announced it in the bundle. sigh...

speaking of $2 games, found Elite Beat Agents at Game Stop for $2. They seem to be trying to get rid of their stock of DS games, so it might be worth it to run in and check for weird classics.




Does Mario Golf require the DLC to be really fun? I just can't get into it, and wonder if that is what really makes the game pop.

Yeah, I mentioned it a few weeks ago, but I got Rhythm Heaven, Hotel Dusk and a couple other games for like $10. Mario, Pokemon, Final Fantasy, etc big name franchises are still basically full price though.

They are probably saving the prime meat of their summer Virtual Console lineup so they can announce it at E3.

At this point I would hope that they DON'T announce Gamecube support at E3 because they still kind of need to stop dropping the ball on the systems they already have on VC. North America got the first three Wii Classics in January and then RADIO SILENCE ever since. It's really frustrating.

Agreed. I was hoping that we would see perhaps Skyward Sword and/or Twilight Princess (rather the GC version than the Wii one due to the controls, honestly) among others with Punch-Out!/Galaxy 2/Metroid Trilogy as the beginnings of releasing classic Wii games, but it's been a tomb since those few lovely weeks. I was annoyed that they did not give some of these games support for more control styles, but that doesn't meant that I wanted them to stop releasing Wii classics entirely.

Dr. Mario has a few returning modes, some new modes and decent multiplayer options including online play, it looks like good value even if you don't like any of the extra gimmicky poo poo.

Harvest Moon: Friends of Mineral Town is considered by many to be the best classic HM game; it's a sorta-port, sorta-expansion of Harvest Moon 64 and Harvest Moon: Back to Nature PSX, so if you liked those games but haven't played any since, this is the one to get.
