I never got the Pokken name before and always thought it sounded really dumb. But now I get that its a play on Tekken when I see the logo. I can't believe I didn't get that before.

Kilometers Davis posted:I'm probably going to buy every Amiibo because I love silly little figures and decorations and they all look well made and detailed. They had me at collectible figure. I mean Skylanders and Disney Infinity did this too but I don't care about a bunch of Generic Monster designs (with hosed Spyro) and a lot of the Disney ones are sort of bad choices and the ones that are good I don't feel justified in spending $15 for one if I have no game for it. I like the Nintendo ones though.

Shelf Adventure posted:Great stuff, thanks. I didn't even know there was a remake of X for the PSP. If you have a PS Vita you can play it on that as well. Megaman powered up on the other hand has been unavailable digitally since forever so you'd actually need a PSP for that. X6 and X7 are bad Megaman games, which means they are just very Mediocre (BN and Star Force aren't really counted here since those aren't traditional formula). Legends series is nice but its a bit of a rarity so unless you're willing to do  or spend lots of money its probably not worth it.

Motto posted:Speaking of people saying the Wii had no games and didn't use motion controls well enough, you should try out Sin & Punishment: Star Successor if you haven't already. I still see copies of that lying around in Walmarts. Yes but its still $50 at Walmarts. Its like $5 everywhere else. I got a copy when it came out because I was worried it'd be scarce. Now I have both S&P games and I've only played each once.

So that Bayo 2 LE is Europe Only? I would've really liked to have both games in their own cases but I guess I'll just suck it up and buy the normal edition.

Jsor posted:As far as I can tell, Limited Editions in general are a Europe Only thing now. Obviously I'm exaggerating, but I've been bitter ever since I had to import Sonic Generations CE from Europe. (Only time I've done that, though I'd probably consider that for a Zelda CE with something more substantial than a scarf) I was thinking about that Sonic Generations CE when I made that post, but it seems only the Nichest of Niche games get LEs or CEs anymore, failing that a first run edition (ToX2, Danganronpa 1&2, Persona Q and P4A2 are what come to mind this year.) Otherwise only the most mainstream of mainstream games (read: Call of Duty) get them, middle ground stuff and Nintendo games seem to get shafted.

Blackbelt Bobman posted:Megaman 7 sucks, Mega holds his buster out when he charges which looks really stupid. The end boss is unfairly hard. The bosses are dumb and the level design is garbage. The music isn't even good. It is a bad game. The music is great man. Though that's just my opinion, I was personally happy for 4 unique wily castle themes instead of one really boring one per dungeon like MM5 and 6 were guilty of. Everything else, okay. Last boss is pretty tough considering the rest of the game is really easy. I'm just glad all the SNES Megaman games are available now (though I'm away from my Wii U right now so I can't download it. )

Yeah, the games are available as is in a Digital format but there's going to be a Physical disk version of both games combined. No word on when that's releasing in the US though, Japan already got it (or are getting it soon) I believe.

jivjov posted:Yeah, the real issue with GameStop is their other lovely business practices like opening up games, handling the discs (potentially lending them out to employees in the process) and still selling the game as "New" because it wasn't a trade-in. Oh yeah, that happened with that "New" Etrian Odyssey IV copy I bought at a Chicago location. No shrinkwrap, awful sticker on the box, even had a save file on it. I've never had that happen at the Gamestop in my area though, they seem alright even if they have some sort of nasty tendency to make their Nintendo stuff so out of sight and shoved into a corner.

jivjov posted:Well, the business practice of selling opened and handled goods as New, compounded with that particular clerk, means I just don't give any of my dollars to GameStop anymore. Plus I've been buying more and more digital games these days. But if there's something physical I want, I'll go through Wal-mart, Amazon, or (in the event of GameStop 'exclusives' like Xenoblade and the like) secondary markets like Ebay. The last few times I've ordered stuff through gamestop I've resorted to just using their website, I get charged for shipping, but I don't have to go into the store and get barraged by them asking if I want to pre-order games I have no interest in. Of course if I buy stuff like Tales, Persona or One Piece I get none of that. Thankfully I almost never need to use Gamestop for anything because I tend to either get stuff cheaper through work or Amazon saves me more money.

Narcissus1916 posted:And that smash final boss was spectacularly poor design. Apparently you can dodge the red circles of death by pressing shield and down at just the right time.... a skill the game never once teaches you. I'm sure they teach that to you in the How to Play video. They did in Melee at least. Dodging like that is extremely helpful for Boss Battles on Intense.

Nice, so they are making October Castlevania month by burning off the GBA games on us. I don't have any complaints about this. Metroidvanias are always fun.

Syka posted:Yeah the only way that could have worked is if they could find a way to trick the system into treating the adapter as the original Wii GC controller ports, which sounds difficult at the very least. Well considering they made the Wii mode able to output to the gamepad despite the difficulties involved in that, they might be able to pull something off.

With the loving pachinko level you hosed up and you lost lives, quickly. And it was mostly based on luckiness than anything else because the control was so stilted.

BFC posted:Well I mean Harmony of Dissonance is pretty shite, but Circle of the Moon and Aria of Sorrow are pretty great in their own rights. I think Castlevania 1 has some great design choices and the levels are pretty much all stellar, so calling it a nostalgia trip is underselling the game. Castlevania 3 is pretty alright as well, even if it's really a test of patience with how hard it can be. Harmony of Dissonance isn't bad. Just bright, and easy. Basically, with Castlevania the ones to buy are the First one, the GBA/DS ones, IV, The Japanese version of 3, and Rondo of Blood. Simon's quest is very cryptic and abstract about a lot of things and is basically Symphony of the Night's style done with Classic Castlevania controls. Dracula X is Rondo of Blood without Maria as a playable character and stiffer controls. They're all good games but some are better than others.

Palutena was a great choice though.

Narcissus1916 posted:Sonic Advance 2 is legitimately a great Sonic game. The other portable entries are very hit or miss (Sonic Rush has a brutal difficulty, for no reason at all), but Dimps did do some good stuff. Its the prime example of bad sonic gameplay though, run to the right and win, bottomless pits everywhere, and bad special stage entry/design. Sonic Advance 1 is much better, a better Sonic 4 than the actual Sonic 4.

How exactly does Nintendon't work again? Is there anyway to use the Gamecube controllers or is there no way to use the adapter outside of smash yet? It'd save the issue of having to hook up the gamecube (or fiddling with Dolphin) if I could use it. Doesn't it require original discs to use it at all?

Nintendon't doesn't require the original discs, but another similar app, Devolution, does. Alright, cool. Saves me the trouble of dealing with the Gamecube/Wii to play those games, only real loss will be memory cards.
