The (Un)Official Game Recommendation Thread!!!
« on: September 19, 2012, 05:04:11 PM »
Since there really isn't one like it, I decided to create a thread for recommending various games. There are too many great games out there (old or new) that remain mostly undiscovered, so we can sort of have a community-wide recommendation circle. Just list a game, platform, and a small description of the game, telling us why we should play it. All platforms (Nintendo or otherwise) are open, as are all time periods. Who'll start us off?

Couple of weeks ago, I think. You can download it on the 3DS.

I never played the Wii version but I'll definitely be picking up the Vita one. It seems like the perfect kind of game to have on a handheld. From what I understand the Wii game didn't have pointer controls, so I'm not even missing anything there.
Insanolord is a terrible moderator.

yeah the lack of pointer controls was a massive oversight on their part

Go hence, to have more talk of these sad things;
Some shall be pardon'd, and some punished:
For never was a story of more woe
Than this of Sega and her Mashiro.

I maintain that Little King Story is one of the best games on the Wii and of the last generation in general. It's more than a Pikmin clone. It's significantly weirder than that. And like Kairon said, it's hard as hell. Super hard. Final boss is bananas. And lack of pointer controls never bothered me (though I never tried the New Play Control Pikmin games).

I don't like what I've seen of the Vita quasi-remake. Looks like they stripped the soul out of it to make it more marketable.
