wasn't this the only nintendoland game that used a character's name instead of the series name? captain falcon is more recognizable than f-zero at this point, thanks smash bros

It's probably because you dress up as Captain Falcon and drive the Blue Falcon only. No point in calling it F-Zero if you can't drive as anyone else from it.

No, the plot was "Eggman's fortress was destroyed so he's crashing at Sonic's until his robots fix the place"

I'm gradually approaching my toughest decision this year:

Should I buy a physical copy of Captain Toad or a digital one?

Unless you're going all digital, physical imo.

Also while I'm still excited for it, what I heard about the post game is really disappointing. :(

Ultigonio posted:

As far as I'm concerned, the benefits of digital include sweet DDP action and being able to get and play the game several hours earlier. I have more than enough storage space for it, at any rate.
That said, physical has the advantage of being collected, lent, or resold. And I don't have to worry about an online service eventually disappearing and leaving me with a game I spent money on but can't download.

Also that stinks that the post-game is disappointing, though it is two-thirds the price of a typical retail game. Hopefully it has enough content to justify the price, regardless. And if anyone says what makes the post-game disappointing within the week before I play this game I am going to be red-hot mad. I have managed to avoid hearing the majority of info about this game because I'd really like to let it surprise me, even if it means taking in some not-so-happy surprises with that.

Good points, good luck with the decision.

Also from what I seen there is definitely enough content to justify the price, also there's all that charm on top of that which is enough to keep me happy despite what happens post-credits.

Hmmmm… Do I buy Galaxy 2 despite already owning and 100% it? I'm not above buying games multiple times (I have five different versions of both SMB and Lost Levels). It just seems like a waste of :10bux: when the other version is Power-A-A away.

The same thing's going to happen in 2 weeks with MP:Trilogy with the added bonus of liking the originals better because the big sequence breaks weren't fixed yet.

Unless having to go into the Wii menu to play it makes you angry, there is no reason to buy Galaxy 2 if you already own it.

I'm downloading Lucadian now. Doesn't it take a week for the post play to show? Also, is the coin claim done at the end of this month?

I don't know the exact time but yeah, the post play surveys show up some time after the download so expect a survey for the 3DS games and Lucadian to show up and you have until the end of March to earn coins.

New preview of Yoshi's Wooly World with screenshots and a video.

http://www.nintendolife.com/news/2015/04/preview_unraveling_the_truth_in_yoshis_woolly_world

No baby mario, health instead, use wool (replacing eggs) to beat bigger enemies or create objects to help you progress, yoshi can still transform, collectibles include beads (currency to buy special badges to help you), flowers, stamps, and wonder wools which can unlock different yoshi designs like flower yoshi, circus yoshi, or one based around shy guys.

Also mellow mode just replaces Yoshi's flutter jump with the ability to float at his current height indefinitely if there was any confusion about that.


Coin purse crabs!

I liked Epic Yarn but I think this game will be much more challenging just judging by the fact that they're adding a separate easy invincible mode.

Actually it doesn't make you invincible it just gives you a hover that last indefinitely, you can still take damage and fail the level.

Here's video of Xenoblade's character creator:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6bLj1VR01G8

Mostly it seems like it's made for creating horrible anime monstrosities. Disappointingly, there's no face proportion sliders to be found, only a few preset faces, so those doll-like eyes aren't going anywhere, although it seems like the men get off a bit better than women and have some faces that look mostly human. On the other hand, you can choose extremely silly skin and hair colors, and there's a huge variety of dumb facepaint to put on.

The equipment is shaping up to look good at least

How many of those games did they wind up making, anyway? I felt like they started getting pretty bad after #2.

It went up to 6 with 3-6 getting 2 versions each.

Also it got a spinoff for the DS, which had 3 games that also had 2 versions, except for the first which had 3.

Woo, I beat Metroid Fusion! :toot: Now I'm out of Metroid games to play, (unless I dip into the original and Metroid 2, which... I didn't really want to do) until they finally release Zero Mission on the VC. I think it's already out in Pal-land, even?

All and all, Fusion is good... except for that bit near the end. You know, the part where the game locks you out of the entire rest of the game if you so much as set foot in a Nav room after getting the final power up? The final power up that is necessary to get the remaining collectibles? Who in the hell thought that was a good idea?! And how the hell are you supposed to get 100% in that case? What in the actual gently caress? :psyduck:
