Did they ever release Rayman 2 on the eShop? I hear that port is fine at least, but I haven't seen any retail copy in the wild in years.

The port plays fine with the occasional graphical bug but bear in mind the game was clearly not designed with stereoscopic 3D in mind. The game itself has aged really poorly though, and if you're going for 100% there's a level early on that has collectables that are hidden away in a section only accessible via another level much later in the game. This is the only example of levels linking together in the whole game and it drove me insane.

I'm trying to think of the logistics of what you'd need for a 16-man LAN party these days and I'm coming up with 8 free power sockets, one for each TV and one for each console and 16 controllers and I'm trying and failing to understand how setting all of that up is easier/just as easy as having one TV, one Wii U, 4 wii remotes and 4 classic controllers/nunchuks and the gamepad.

Who said it was easier/just as easy? Nobody was asserting that. It doesn't matter how easy it was, because my only point was that their claim that it's the biggest local multiplayer struck me as funny.

Well, I can't really find any actually reference-quality sources but that's how the term has been used. Local multiplayer without needing multiple consoles/computers/TVs.

The link that you posted there equated couch multiplayer with local. Do you think local multiplayer excludes LAN games? Nintendo probably did mean it that way, but that phrase definitely does not have a clear-cut meaning.

thexerox123 posted:The link that you posted there equated couch multiplayer with local. Do you think local multiplayer excludes LAN games? Yes, I think couch multiplayer is a sub-category of local multiplayer and excludes LAN games. I guess it can be misunderstood but there isn't anything inherently wrong about Nintendo's ad or whatever it was.

I bought Excitebike 3DS as soon as I learned of it and thought that it was quite well done, but I may lay out another $5 for Vs. on the Wii U. I think that it has enough differences that it deserves it.

They've finally stopped loving around with the JP version and are working on the international version in earnest but I think it's still a couple months out. Protect Me Knight 2 is still coming, too.

 But on a serious note, if any of you has like 500 stars left and don't care for anything available, I'll trade you a couple of Steam games for one of them 3DS themes. I ran out of stars with the last soundtrack they put in, too much of a sucker for those. Saoshyant fucked around with this message at 14:30 on Sep 2, 2015 |
