Goons: I can't believe how shoddy this is. It's kind of an insult to me personally, frankly

It's really lazily done and reflects poorly on their overall commitment to the NES Online platform.

I just played it for an hour. I opened a huge new space on the beach, Penguin gave his friends some cucumbers, the owl fell asleep from giving everyone lucky tokens, and Neko manned the clothing store (but hid from the customers).

If feels like it's going to be pretty meaty. There's a ton of shops to unlock, lots of fun mini games which are still grayed out, and the town is massive.

I'm trying!

Is there English text? Will there be English text?

Mega Man X would like a word with you...

Anyway, speaking of Mega Man, having some regrets over buying Mega Man 11. Not necessarily due to the game itself, because it's great, it's just really short for the price. The double gear system practically feels like a cheat mode though.

I get it, MM11 is probably a game I'll come back to and play several more times over the years, but it feels like I paid way too much for a 4 hour game. Even though I think I paid $32 with my prime discount, I can't help but feel like for $15 you could get MM Legacy Collection 1 and 2, or the X collection, and have more hours of fun for the same amount of money.

For what its worth they have a bundle now, all 4 legacy collections and mm11 for $60. That's a pretty good deal but like a sucker I already bought all the legacy collections and mm11 :mad:

Nintendo is trying to leverage the 100 million users to play Pokemon GO into the Switch ecosystem by locking a cool new Pokemon behind Pokemon Let's GO integration.

It is probably their quick solution to people complaining that Zelda 1 is too hard to be enjoyable. Rather than create a brand-new ROM with code edits that drastically affect the game, they said "Here's a little headstart. You have max rupees, max keys, a handful of items, and the blue ring. Maybe this will help give you an edge." I think that's awesome for new and casual players.

I want to like arena of valor but it seems about 60% of the time someone DC's which makes the whole thing pointless

Edit: and that's the third game in a row someone has disconnected. I think that's it for me.

I have searched the eShop, and that bundle is either not in my region or hidden deep within the eShop.

All I can do is buy Mega Man 11 for $30

I cant check now...I know it's on psn and xbox live. But the article I read said they were pretty sure it's on steam and switch too but you need to check (?)

Like, ok, use a map if you don't remember where everything is because you weren't a kid in the late 80s, but the gameplay being too hard is :laffo:

Why did the Wii U get all the battle network games and we're just sitting around like chumps with our switches? I mean at least we're able to sit around like chumps while playing on buses but that makes it even more essential to get these games!

Legend of Zelda really isn�t a hard game.

Navigation is a bitch but Zelda games have never really been about difficulty

Huh. I've played a dozen or so rounds now and only once did someone disconnect, but they came back after a minute or two.

Not sayin' it doesn't happen but huh.

Nep-Nep: May 15, 2004; Just one more thing!

The original Zelda and Zelda 2 both have parts that are actually quite difficult, and both games are significantly more challenging than pretty much the entire rest of the Zelda series, except perhaps for Breath of the Wild before you get good items.

Zelda1 is the second hardest Zelda game for sure (after II) but it's still not terribly difficult except for a few endgame rooms that this easy mode Zelda will only make you worse at, if anything.

So then it's the hardest game BEFORE Zelda II?
