Shows you how insanely cheap paper is, which makes me wonder why they can't include decent manuals anymore. :p

Small game cases might have something to do with that.

Though Switch games don't even seem to have electronic manuals either, which was a little surprising to me.

So it's basically buy 100 games get 1 free?

Also, apparently "soon" to Nintendo means one year.

Doesn't the horse show up on the map?

I think this happens only after the horse is registered at a stable, which he said hadn't done yet.

The game fails to live up to my expectations, but those expectations were based entirely off nostalgia for the original - which probably wouldn't hold up all that well today if I were to play it.

It makes some sense, the sequel has a different feel to it so I can see how a fan of the first game would be disappointed in it. Myself, I never played either game when I was a kid, so I had no expectations for them.

One thing I'll say though is that the story is probably better in the first game, though it doesn't really bother me. Some of the events in the sequel skew more towards a forced ripoff.

That's a shame, StarTropics 2 is actually one of my fave NES games. I find your complaint about the lack of grid-based movement to be interesting, as I've always felt the control in 2 is way better than 1. I never experienced any issues moving or jumping in the levels, it all felt intuitive for me. In the first game, the strict grid was a detriment since it made moving away from enemies a lot harder than it should be. The sequel overall feels a lot easier and less cheap due to the superior control, though it's still no pushover of course.

It's been a long time since I played the first game, but I don't remember there being anything interesting happening between the dungeons. I'm fine with the linear structure of 2, but then again I'm also someone who has never seen linearity as a bad thing.

2 also has some of my fave tunes on the NES, it's got a nice soundtrack.

For some reason I thought that the game was going to start on Monday. After I saw the result of the first day thread, I wondered if it would be fair of me to still play.

Mop it up should have been dead.

Boy do I get that thought a lot!

3D Land at least had a price drop, so it was previously $30 instead of $40. I felt like Link Between Worlds had gone out of print, so nice to see it back.

The one of these I don't have is Ultimate NES Remix, but I already have NES Remix on Wii U so I don't feel like there's enough else there to warrant buying it.

Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles Echoes of Time was Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection, so it's dead. It may be possible to run a homebrew server with the Wii version, but I haven't looked into it. My friend and I put over 300 hours into the game, I had the Wii version, it was a lot of fun.

Nintendo Gaming / Re: The Switch Games that STILL haven't came out yet

« on: January 11, 2018, 01:15:53 PM »

I don't know if it were ever on a graphic, but I know Terraria was announced for Switch before it launched, and it still doesn't have a date set for it yet. That's one I was looking forward to.

Outside of these graphics, was there ever any confirmation that the Dragon Quest games were getting localized?

DQ Heroes I and II are not being localized at this time. DQ Builders 1 is releasing February 9th and DQ Builders 2 has a target of Q2 2018. While it has been confirmed that DQ XI is releasing in NA, specific platforms were not mentioned. It's worth noting that the Switch version of DQ XI still has no announced date for Japan, either.

Ah, so it did reach a million, not too bad. Though, was that after it became a Nintendo Selects title? It would have made less profit that way.

I was curious about this game but I never got around to picking it up on the Wii U or 3DS, so this is one Wii U port I'll probably buy at some point.

Or, and hear me out, let me play as Luigi like in the Galaxy games.

Seriously, I came in here to say the same thing. Luigi has been playable in every Mario game since 2006's New Super Mario Bros., so his absence in Odyssey is very strange.

I've never played a game in this series and know nothing about it. Is this an action-RPG or something else? Does it help to have knowledge of previous games, or can this stand on its own?

The last few Mario Tennis games have been so lackluster that I'm still skeptical even though it sounds like they're adding more stuff this time. Hopefully it ends up as a better effort this time.
