TalkBack / Re: Nintendo Responds to New 3DS Release Questions

« on: January 14, 2015, 09:44:19 PM »

My original 3DS isn't working that great (vertical lines on top screen and the A & L buttons barely register a press anymore). I was hoping to get the cheaper New 3DS. The smaller one, despite being similar in size, actually has larger screens. So, it'd still be a size upgrade.


But I guess I'll get the large one that doesn't fit in my pocket as nicely. :-/

I wish the A and L buttons on my 3DS worked consistently. Tetris is all about precision.

I feel like they could make the Bomber's Notebook more intuitive. [The bomber's notebook maps out what happens on what days at what times.] I can't quite recall what it was about it that needed improvement, but I remember thinking something about it was lacking, when I played this game a year or so ago.

So, they don't have all games available for purchase. Just Nintendo published titles? I wonder why.


We used to be able to gift all games, right?

I am in the same boat, with the original 3DS model: failing buttons & scratched screen (mostly the two vertical lines). I've been wanting to get a new version, but it was hard to justify paying $200 for the XL, just to play the games I already own with no real benefit (other than slightly larger screen & not scratched/broken). So, the timing of this is pretty good for me.

I really, really like Milon's Secret Castle. I especially like the way the game handled music. Like the bonus stages that were pretty similar, but added an extra instrument for each stage you found. But I can understand why people wouldn't like it. It's a bit hard and the clues are cryptic (as is the case in many a NES game). But for me, it is a beloved game.

I also grew up with Fester's Quest. This game was stupid hard, but there's still (to a lesser extent) something to like about this game. Well, I definitely liked the opening credit music. For sure.

Or maybe something boring will happen... Like Nintendo buying enough of Capcom to ensure that no one else can own 51% of Capcom.

Nintendo Gaming / Re: Hyrule Warriors: This maybe my destiny!

« on: May 23, 2014, 11:53:09 PM »

I tried a Dynasty Warriors game once, I think for PS2. I remember thinking "This is kind of fun, but the draw distance sucks." So, add Link and better hardware and I wouldn't mind playing this. I'm not expecting it to blow my mind and I may wait for a deal on the game somewhere down the line, but I'd rather this game exist than not exist.

Nintendo Gaming / Re: If you don't own a Wii U now, will Mario Kart 8 influence you to purchase one?

« on: May 21, 2014, 12:07:16 AM »

Anyway... back on topic.

I wouldn't buy a Wii U for Mario Kart 8.

But I already own a Wii U. I was kind of on the fence about getting it.

The negatives about Mario Kart 8 is that it's pretty much the same Mario Kart yet again... for $60.

The positives are that I haven't really played a new Mario Kart since Double Dash (I got Mario Kart DS but playing more than a few races hurt my hands for some reason, so I hardly played it. I skipped "Wii" and "7.") so it's actually been a long time since I've experienced a new Mario Kart. I do have a few friends that would enjoy playing it with me. And, the big positive: another free game. I never got New Super Mario U. Plus, it looks good (shiny!).
