Small motions and changes in direction can be annoying on SM64 DS but for the most part I thought the controls worked pretty well, enough that I got all the stars.

Did we already know that we're getting Super Mario Galaxy tomorrow? Because that seems pretty cool, even if it does mean we're not getting a HD remake of Super Mario Galaxy.

So if you play a wii VC Mario Galaxy on the game pad, do you need to use a wiimote too or can your waggle with the pad somehow?

You can only use the game pad to control games that supported the classic controller. SMG didn't, so you need a Wiimote. You can use the pad as a screen though because it has a built in sensor bar.

I'll be buying the Wii U version too, but man. You could play it now, for two dollars. http://store.steampowered.com/app/207530/ Edit: Also allow me to point out that the hero's name is Xoda Rap.

Australia's weird when it comes to Nintendo handheld junk - even though we get things at the same time as Europe, it's often just the US stuff in new packaging, and there were games from that era that Europe didn't get that we did, like Warioware Twisted.

I am going to buy the gently caress out of Mario Galaxy so I never have to pop that disc in again. I haven't even unlocked Luigi yet and I need that sweet 100%. It is some of the most satisfying platforming I have ever played and I hear the sequel is better and I can't play it until the first is destroyed.

They play exactly the same so it's up to whether you want the convenience of always having it on you, 3D and StreetPass Battle Arena or you want Miiverse messages on every screen and I think a multiplayer option coming very soon? 3DS suited me better, but I got them both and beat it twice.

Fritzler posted:Should I buy shovel knight on wii u or 3ds? Anyone have strong opinions? If you play with 3D on, I think definitely on 3DS. It looks and sounds absolutely great and i overall prefer 3DS hardware to anything else for 2D games. Otherwise the Wii U version is going to be the only one that gets a coop mode, if that's important to you. I believe both use the second screen to quick switch items.

It looks entrain odessy 4 is on sale for $10 in the US. It is probably the best entry to the series. All the classes are so balanced that you can't make a terrible team. Though some classes are better than others. And they streamlined some of the more annoying features like gather spots. And they leave some of the more annoying gimmicks in optional side dungeons. Overall still a difficult altus games but a lot more fair than other games of the series.

If you don't buy Etrian Odyssey 4 for $10 return your 3DS, because you have failed it.

Waltzing Along posted:How are those Korg synth apps? Very good, but very different between the two. The Korg DSN-12 is my personal favorite, and it acts like a decent small analog synth that you can carry around anywhere. It's got two oscillators and an LFO, so you can patch some really interesting sounds with it and the sequencing is good, but the copy/paste function is super frustrating, because it only copies some information, so if you're trying to build a song, prepare to have different sections sound totally different when repeated. It's still super fun and I highly recommend it. It's fun for creating sounds and building songs. The MO1D is more like a portable digital synth and it works well for sequencing. It comes with some pretty good pre-programmed voices and you can create whatever voices you desire. The interface doesn't quite click like it does with the DSN-12, and the lack of MIDI support makes it feel a little more like a toy than I'd like it to, but it's an inexpensive synth app for a video game system, so I'm not sure that can count as a true blue complaint. Both are very good. But if you pick one, I'd say the DSN-12 feels more like a full fledged music/sound creation tool and is just more fun and exciting to use.

homeless snail posted:Yeah if you liked anything about PQ outside of the fanservice stuff you'll like EO4 a lot. The fan service was like, maybe half of the appeal for me. That got old real quick, though... Seemed like all of the dialogue outside of the two new characters were nonstop references to P3/P4. The gameplay itself I got into, and maybe it was the fact that I poopsocked the game and beat it in just a few weeks, but the map drawing had become tedious and unfun in the last level or two. I'll bite on EO4 if it's one of the best ones, I've spent more on bigger gambles I guess!

Freedom Planet 2 was announced and confirmed for PC and "Nintendo platforms" yesterday - it's a 2017 game, so who knows whether Wii U will still be viable by the time it's ready to go.
