I think it's about time I got this thing, mainly for WW and Super Mario 3D World, is there a specific bundle I should be getting? Also, is Nintendo land worth buying if the bundle I get doesn't come with it?

deadwing posted:I say this all the time, but my gaming group and I would play ludicrous amounts of money for new DLC maps for the three competitive games in Nintendo Land. I'm talking like 5 bucks a map crazy. Nintendo just doesn't 'get' DLC. It's a shame. E: Actually, how was the Luigi U thing? Was NSMBU any good?

I just meant that we've barely seen any DLC from Nintendo at this point, although the idea intruiges me, especially with Smash.

I'm pretty okay with clones honestly, I mean, i'd rather be able to play as doctor mario than not at all. Maybe I just want to get my doctor on nintendo? Huh?

Commissar Ken posted:As long as you look at the box and don't go "Ugh, what is this Cel-da bullshit?!?" you'll be fine. It had a few little niggling things with it but most of that has been fixed up in the HD remake. Its really a gorgeous game (so much so the Gamecube version still stands up super well where it's much harder to go back and play Ocarina of Time now unless you grab the 3DS version) and is pretty epic in scale. Plus one of the better Gannondorf fights. It feels weird to say that because all 3 of the 3D Gannondorf fights kick massive rear end.

Am I the only one who thinks the hate for Twilight Princess is really unfair? I mean, I don't think it's as good as WW or OOT and the like but it's still a 10/10 game for me. The environments were gorgeous and it had a massive fun world and tons of great sidequests and fantastic dungeons. I loved it, the visual style stands out especially well. Same with Skyward Sword.

DarkHamsterlord posted:What I hate about Twilight Princess is that it kind of feels like a "paint by numbers" entry into the series. Especially coming off of Wind Waker, it just feels like they play things too safe and it's completely boring as a result. It's kind of like "Ocarina of Time: Slightly Worse Edition." I'm not entirely convinced the Zelda mechanics work very well with heavy dificulty. At least, not in 3D, I mean, all the bosses are like a puzzle you have to figure out and aside from Skyward Sword, the combat isn't really complex enough to merit heavy difficulty. That said, TP is pretty ridiculous. There's a difference between realizing your combat isn't really the focus of the game and making it so there's no way I'm ever going to die. I played TP for 100% completion a couple weeks ago and I can count the number of times I got hit aside from the pit of 100 trials on 2 hands. But hey, there's always the 3 heart run! E: There are hard things in that game though, like.... the ICE LEAF RACE  E2: That said it is very formulaic but in an easy comforting way. It's easy and safe, like going back and playing Super Mario Sunshine again. E3: God Lake Hylia in that game was loving beautiful

DarkHamsterlord posted:A three heart run is just silly when you can take five+ hits without dying, though. When I did my three heart run of Twilight Princess (also no bottles, etc.) I died less than five times, and most (if not all) of my deaths were brought about by the aforementioned single enemy in the game that deals a full heart of damage. (It actually deals two! The next strongest attack in the game behind his hits for 3/4 of a heart) What enemy is that btw? I'm not entirely sure I remember. Also, couple the 5? bottles you get in that game and you really are invincible!

Renoistic posted:I have no problem with Zelda bosses being puzzles. My problem is that you have to do essentially the same thing three times in a row and it's easy and boring once you've figured it out. Only perhaps two bosses required you to think at all and not just immediately use the dungeons gimmick to kill it. Neither do I, sorry if it came across that way. I just love finding a massive beast and slowly and surely trampling it down. I do wish that they were more involved though, I want them to get more moves, figure out what I'm doing and adapt. Also, Twilight Princess was probably the worst game for not using your items outside of the dungeon. You get the Arrows right after the slingshot and more than a couple items are basically just ways to remove walls. Wind Waker was actually the best in the series in this regard.

ONE YEAR LATER posted:The overworld in Twilight Princess is dull as dishwater, there's almost nothing to actually do in a big open environment. Some bugs to find, a few hidden caves and uh... that's it. If there was about 10 times as many hidden things and uses for the dungeon items it would be a much better game. Isn't the same basically true of OOT though? I really like the empty world. You really get a sense of grandiose and loneliness like you don't in any of the other games. Polo-Rican posted:I think you've kind of got it backwards. People wanted a bigger, shinier Mario 64. Sunshine actually feels a lot smaller - there are 7 worlds in Sunshine vs 12 in 64, plus the worlds in Sunshine have less visual variety so it feels like there's less content, plus in 64 you have more freedom to explore worlds in whatever order you want. That's funny because Sunshine is waaaaaaaaaaaay better than Super Mario 64

ONE YEAR LATER posted:Compare Twilight Princess to Wind Waker, there's stuff in every section of the ocean (something major or minor) and random treasures and other things to actually interact with. I can't really recall much of anything significant in the Twilight Princess version of Hyrule. Couldn't I just argue that that's sort of the point? Much in the same way I love sailing island to island and it taking minutes, I really enjoyed the desolate rides across the plains with that awesome hyrule field theme (best in the series IMO) with the sun rising in the back, knowing that this is it, my time, the time to save my friends and hyrule.

JordanKai posted:You can absolutely make a case for Super Mario Sunshine being superior to Super Mario 64. Because one game holds up and the other doesn't.  Seriously, I love 64, a lot, but the game looks like poo poo, controls really stiff and doesn't have the unique flavor that Sunshine has. 64 is like a really great burger, but Sunshine is a 4 course meal.

Mario 64 can control well but there's a steep learning curve and even then there's no comparing to Sunshine and Galaxy.

virtualboyCOLOR posted:Oh there's no doubt that it was the best 2D -> 3D transition over similar games of its time (Bubsy 3D anyone?). Add the Mario shadow was a brilliant move as was a controller designed with 3D in mind. However it was still a huge leap back in terms of content and imaginative level design. It took until Galaxy to fix the mess left by 64. 3D world brings out the best in what Nintendo offers that other developers lack this generation. What a fantastic game. With any luck they'll leave the 64 formula in the dust forever. The 64 formula was waaaaaaay better in the Banjo Kazzoie games and are basically what Assassins Creed has been doing for years now.

Rirse posted:Speaking of Donkey Kong Country Returns, will this one have a normal control scheme by default? I could never get into the Wii game due to the overuse of motion controls. Still need to get the 3DS version, but wondering if they took a cue from that game. You only use it to roll and it's not that bad really. I do really wish that you could put it on a button bc that game is just so loving tight otherwise.

axleblaze posted:I still really wish they just put the option to turn off the box. Like I'm not against it being in the game, but give me the option to never have to look at them. They almost actively discourage me from hunting down secrets because i don't want to die to much looking into corners that might have something. That's a great idea, I do really love hearing people online bitch about how "gamers today won't learn the true value of success!" - though.

Mercury Crusader posted:Internet nerds take a lot of stock in what other internet nerd are interested in. For all the discussions Games (or NeoGAF or wherever) has about certain titles or console sales performances or whatever, average folk that play video games and don't visit internet message boards don't give as much of a poo poo. Anecdotal and all, but my best friend has fallen out of staying on top of gaming news and all that for the most part, and doesn't visit gaming message boards, and the only opinion he has on the Wii U, PS4, and Xbox One is that it's all the same poo poo from last generation but more expensive-looking. That's not that far off the mark actually
