TalkBack / Re: Remembering Super Mario World

« on: September 30, 2015, 04:28:03 PM »

I remember spending a lot of time on Star Road (We called it Star World) we knew there was something extra special about it, but we couldn't figure out what it was...until we discovered how to get to that star in the middle that took you to the crazy levels. And after you beat all those crazy levels (I don't know what to call them we also referred to them as the Ninja Turtle levels because of their names "Tubular", "Outrageous" ect.)
I also remember when I discovered that every single "red" level and every single ghost house had 2 exits. I spent a lot of time opening up every secret level in that game.
To this day when we go visit my parents my dad and I will usually pull out the old SNES and play some Mario World.

I just want one of the Fire Emblem Characters (Preferribly Robin) to use while playing Codename Steam. Since buying that game I haven't seen a single one of those 4 characters.

Keep in mind, Mario Kart 8 also came with a free game for anyone that bought it early on. It convinced me to buy. I didn't think Mario Kart 8 was worth more than $40 and I had wanted Pikmin 3, but again couldn't justify $60 so I hadn't bought it. If not for that deal I probably still wouldn't have either, instead I have both.

I'm anticipating about 10 copies sold. Which is a shame because I'm all over this game and that means we'll never see anything like it again.

I'm hoping they take some of the extra time and give us a 4 player mode. we played almost as much 4 Player star Fox 64 as we did Goldeneye.

Personally, I prefer digital. Right now, I'd trade my physical copy of Nintendo Land for a digital copy without any hesitation.

Neal, on the latest RFN they talked about the level packs being much better too. Is there going to be a review that looks at those as well?

Has the special edition become available anywhere besides Amazon yet? By the time I heard about it Amazon had sold out. I gave them my email and asked to be informed if more became available, but I don't anticipate that happening so I'm hoping to be able to get it from Best Buy or Game Stop at some point.

TalkBack / Re: RFN RetroActive Jr. Poll: Mario Games not in Maker

« on: September 14, 2015, 10:44:53 AM »

I was torn between Smash and Pinball. I haven't gotten into Smash since 11th grade and I downloaded it to my Wii U, but I don't have a classic controller so I can't play it because it's stuck in Wii Mode. If Smash wins the poll I'll buy one of those Gamecube looking classic controllers.


However, I voted Pinball because I LOVED Kirby's Pinball Land as a Kid, but I've never played this one so I'd like to try it.

As weird as it sounds, when they announced this game (a long time ago) I had no interest. Now with the info we have on it...I can't wait to try it out. I hope a NA release date is given soon, but based on the fact that the title isn't even in English yet I really doubt it'll be anytime soon (probably post NX)

I've never tried Sin and Punishment maybe I will try one of these out.
I hear the Wii one is easier, can I jump in on the second one or do I need to start with the original?

Blah Blah Blah Yarn Yoshi Amiibo, Blah Blah Blah Star Fox, Blah Blah Blah Xenoblade X.
That's all I heard.


Really though, I'm shocked that they have the balls to ask for $60 for Mario + Luigi U AFTER Super Mario Maker is out and everyone already has unlimited New Super Mario Levels.

TalkBack / Re: Advance Wars 2: Black Hole Rising Launching Tomorrow On North American Virtual Console

« on: August 19, 2015, 05:13:54 PM »

This is a GREAT game. I played this a TON as a kid, unfortunately about 4 years ago I lost the cartridge on a trip and haven't been able to play it again since. YES I'll buy it again.


I see the price a little differently. It's $8 and I'll get 50+ hours of fun out of it plus my son is getting old enough to enjoy it so I'll teach him and if he likes it then he'll also get fun out of it. For me $8 is super easy to justify.


I bought Advance Wars 1 when it came to VC and throughly enjoyed conquering it again. This time I played it mostly when the baby was up at night crying. It was a great distraction so that the crying didn't get to me as much.

I opened it a few times and was trying to decide if I liked it and would use it while watching sports...then I canceled Cable and went strictly Netflix/Hulu Plus. Then there was no need/use for it and I never again opened it.

Is this for Just Nintendo published games like Xenoblade X and Fire Emblem Fates, or can we include games published by other companies on Nintendo Platforms like Shin Magami Tensi X Fire Emblem and Guitar Hero Live?

You can? If you're correct and you can do 3 players locally with just 1 cart it'll be a day 1 buy for me! We have exactly 3 3DSes and we have 3 or 4 of us that would enjoy playing.

TalkBack / Re: Fire Emblem Fates to Release in Two Versions in North America

« on: June 16, 2015, 05:34:10 PM »

I know this makes you all mad, but I couldn't care less. I LOVED Awakening and now I get more Fire Emblem and if I understand correctly this game is big enough to justify the 2 SKUs so I'll be happy to buy BOTH versions plus the DLC. I played through Awakening twice first in hard casual and then in hard classic (I tried the super hard mode, but I couldn't beat the 3rd level). I will probably pre-order this game and I'll be excited to own all of it.


If it's really the size of 2 separate games why does it bother people to buy them as separate games?
