Does Nintendo's refurbished shop restock on a consistent basis, like every month or every few months, or do I just have to keep checking back whenever until they suddenly have stock again?

PhantomHourglass and Spirit Tracks both have some really cruddy parts (I liked the central dungeons in Spirit Tracks more than Phantom Hourglass cause I didn't like the timed aspect in Spirit Tracks, and Spirit Tracks the train was cool but not being able to combat the dark trains was bad and the pan flute bits were annoying), but they have some of the best dungeon designs and bosses and sidekick characters in the series.

The worst part of Spirit Tracks (which is better then people give it credit for) was when I manuvered 2 dark trains into a head on collision and they clipped through eachother.

This too. The evil trains just being obstacles that you couldn't circumvent through cool poo poo like that was dumb as hell. I think the only thing you could do was make them stop for a little bit until you reached the final boss where you got the power only during that bit to take them out by just charging around super fast into them.

My favorite thing about Ninjabreadman is the speedrun of it where on the "you completed the level" screen, if you mash fast enough, you hit the confirmation button twice so it assumes you beat 2 levels instead of 1

Also that it's just a graphical reskin of another game by the same dev, some game called anubis 2.

I've only played the first two worlds and some user designed levels, my only real problem with it is loading times are way longer than they should be. This game also holds your hand a lot less than other Mario vs DK games, it introduces some new mechanics that you have to figure out on your own. I kept funding myself surprised at the lack of pop up messages telling me exactly what to do.

What do the review not like in particular?

Are there any major differences between the wii u and 3ds versions? I only have a 3DS so if I get it at all it'd be for that

So with Tipping Stars, how does the actual tipping system work? I understand that you get stars by completing levels, and that stars can either be spent in the workshop to buy new items to use in levels or to tip to players whose levels you enjoyed, but that makes it sound like stars are a finite thing and it'll be weird if you can't unlock everything in the workshop through the base game and have to resort to making levels to get more stars to buy everything.


So yeah, how does it actually work?

Also Genei Ibunroku seems to lack the map strategy of FE, has shown us glimpses of boring dungeon crawling, resembles Persona's worst elements, has both gaudy, overdesigned, and somehow boring character designs(maybe not including motorcycle and Pegasusbots), and people wanted something with a darker tone than Super Sentai?

Gleaned all that from a minute and a half trailer of mostly cutscenes huh

If they think that trailer is going to sell people on it? Yeah I think so.

Totally willing to be proven wrong.

Lmao it looked just like the persona 5 trailer did but with a bluehaired swordwielding fire emblem anime


Did people get this picky with that trailer too or is it just cause this has some vague relation to known dark and grim series fire emblem

Since it's cross buy, you can get it for both wii u and 3ds at the same time and you can just sell or give out the 3DS code if you don't care about that.
