I don't have any gold coins because you get nothing for physical releases anymore.

That's a retail game. In Europe.

How is Boxboxboy AKA Boxboy 2, though? The first one was pretty charming and clever.

I've got 250 gold coins and some of them are from buying pilotwings.

And we don't get a Picross e, we get a small discount for Picross e.

Really nice. You keep every single costume from the first game, and you get the ability to summon two groups of boxes almost immediately.

I think Fusion's pretty underrated. Yeah, the action gets interrupted on occasion by a talky computer, but it's got some cool levels and the SA-X sequences are great.

Sounds like more Boxboy with no bad things added for the sake of making a sequel feel different. Works for me.

Definitely one of my favorite Metroid games. It is a linear, but that's not a bad thing. It changes up the series a bit.

The SA-X looking at you, the player, is one of the few game moments that still freaks me a little even after multiple playthroughs.

"Villain looks at you the viewer and also the protagonist through the security camera" is a pretty common scene in horror films and thrillers.

In other words, you're both right.

Fusion is definitely a better choice. I love II but it's more annoying to play without a guide than Metroid NES imo.

Fusion, definitely. It's waaaaaay more polished than Metroid II, which is just as linear but you'll find yourself getting lost quite a bit due to the limited colour palette making environments look samey.

In Training
Jun 28, 2008

I've played both (Fusion a lot II once) and I'll probably pick up fusion again. But since I already have zero Mission id rather just play that again if I'm in a Metroid mood.

Do I look like a reasonable man to you, or a peppermint nightmare?
So what could the rationale be for points with an expiration date when the rewards are already so lackluster, wonder. I remember it being mentioned that Nintendo didn't want people to feel like they had to save points but... Isn't that the entire purpose of this type of system? Save points until you see something you want instead of spending it on whatever just because it's there? The only reason I ask is because I thought the expiration date only applied to platinum coins, but apparently gold will expire as well.

It's alright! The puzzles are more like riddles, but that's kind of a nitpicky complaint. I watched it with another fan of the series and we both enjoyed it.
