For some reason I LOVE games that are far too difficult. I Wanna be the Guy (and it's countless spinoffs), and Rom-hacks like Kaizo Mario are really fun, even if I can't get past the first level...

I just beat Luigi's Mansion: Dark Moon. I got it Saturday, so I beat it in 4 days. Hooray!

How'd you think it compared to the original?

hypernovatic · Post by **hypernovatic** » Thu Feb 13, 2014 2:50 pm

I really enjoyed it. The ghosts were adorable, especially the Polterpup.

Post by **Sleet** » Thu Feb 13, 2014 3:43 pm

I didn't like how you kept getting taken out of the mansion(s) after each chapter. It kinda broke up the atmosphere and made it feel less spooky.

hypernovatic · Post by **hypernovatic** » Thu Feb 13, 2014 6:22 pm

True, but it was still really fun. On the part where you look at the screenshot with King Boo in it. When he turned around it scared me so much I screamed, because it was so unexpected.

Post by **Sleet** » Fri Feb 14, 2014 12:10 pm

Also I didn't like how the treasure system was simplified. I thought the first did it so much better.

It was still really fun, sure. I just liked the first one better.

I beat Bastion yesterday! It was quite the lovely game. :3

Little Mac from the Punch Out series is going to be a playable character in the new Smash Bros. game.

What are you guys' thoughts on this?

Kyuunado · Post by **Kyuunado** » Fri Feb 14, 2014 1:04 pm

Abuse the ranged moves on the little guy!

MrNeonShot · Post by **MrNeonShot** » Fri Feb 14, 2014 1:07 pm

Awesome!
But they better add tails to the game. I love Tails.

Kyuunado · Post by **Kyuunado** » Fri Feb 14, 2014 1:10 pm

Just so long as his Final Smash move is the Tornado or Hyper Tails' Flickies.
He should also have some good ranged moves given he has lasers and bombs.

MrNeonShot · Post by **MrNeonShot** » Fri Feb 14, 2014 1:16 pm

Anyone else want to see Combo Final Smash moves?
If your doing a team brawl, you team with your partner for a final smash?
That would be awesome!

This is the first new character I'm actually excited and super happy for. Don't get me wrong, Megaman is great, but I've never actually played a Megaman game.
I am a little saddened about his final smash, I'd have honestly preferred it to just be the star punch and for it to have worked like a vertical Critical Hit (simplicity is the best weapon)...but I'm not complaining with what we're getting.

By the way you 2. If they did that with Brawl, Nintendo would have to make 1260 different final pair smashes. I personally prefer them giving each character their own fairly unique (Fox, Wolf, Falco..really?) final smash than Nintendo giving us anything else... Also, I'm fairly sure Brawl is often played as a 1vs1vs1vs1 game as opposed to a 2vs2. All of Nintendo's trailers have shown that since the beginning. I doubt they'd suddenly make it into a team based game now.

Post by **Sleet** » Sat Feb 15, 2014 11:41 am

I'm pretty sure they're not going to make it focused on pairs. Don't worry.

I think Little Mac will be cool!

hypernovatic · Post by **hypernovatic** » Sat Feb 15, 2014 12:13 pm

He looks like he'll have a lot of good combos.

kurowolfe · Post by **kurowolfe** » Sun Feb 16, 2014 12:40 am

Been playing (and obsessing) over Ragnarok Online again, 10 years after I've left it. It's the first online game I've ever played.

GameCobra · Post by **GameCobra** » Mon Feb 17, 2014 8:46 am

Just beat Kingdom Hearts 3DS. Was everything I expected it to be and was awesome. Pokémon and Kingdom Hearts for the 3DS are definitely the only games I can think of playing on the 3DS now. Can't wait for Kingdom Hearts 3 now.

Kingdom Hearts always takes that whole power of friendship deal and makes it all too adorable, if predictably corny at times (And I'm still surprised Disney lets Square go into that depth.) but it's also got some awesome soundtracks.

Now to get Smash Brothers in the future =3

Megamaster · Post by **Megamaster** » Tue Feb 18, 2014 6:34 am

Been playing Tales of Vesperia and Devil Survivor Overclocked. (Hooray for lesser known games!)

Meh, they need more variety with the final smash, not just a tank that comes in.
and it needs to be flashy and powerful! Not just flashy, like Mario's fire power final smash.
If they were to change mario's final smash, they should make it to where he knocks the player into a Mario cart match, where a bunch of shy guys run the player over, and then a blue shell blows the character up.

Kyuunado · Post by **Kyuunado** » Tue Feb 18, 2014 4:27 pm

May I just quote what I once said about Falcon and say that "If you prefer the air so much then why don't you get Rob64 to deliver your arwing!?"

Megamaster · Post by **Megamaster** » Wed Feb 19, 2014 10:47 am

Back to playing Tales of Innocence R and grade farming.

...That's Captain Falcon's final smash minus the blue shell.

MrNeonShot · Post by **MrNeonShot** » Fri Feb 21, 2014 6:31 pm

I got a 2DS!

hypernovatic · Post by **hypernovatic** » Fri Feb 21, 2014 7:09 pm

Cool. Are you enjoying it? And what color did you get?

MrNeonShot · Post by **MrNeonShot** » Sat Feb 22, 2014 1:15 am

yeah! I got the red one, because my last system was blue. I don't have any games for it yet, but the web browser is awesome! Except when it comes to facebook...

Post by **Sleet** » Sat Feb 22, 2014 1:19 am

Any games you intend to get? You really need Pokémon.

MrNeonShot · Post by **MrNeonShot** » Sat Feb 22, 2014 1:23 am

Mario kart 7, Super smash bros., Kid Icarus uprising (maybe), and Monster Hunter 3 Ultimate!

Hey that's the same color I have for my 2DS! And I agree with Sleet, you should get Pokemon. Heck, everyone should get Pokemon, even if they don't have a 3DS or 2DS.

MrNeonShot · Post by **MrNeonShot** » Sat Feb 22, 2014 11:08 am

Then how would they play if they didn't have a 3 or 2ds?

I'm hoping to borrow Mario kart 7 from my friend later.

hypernovatic · Post by **hypernovatic** » Sat Feb 22, 2014 11:53 am

Well, I never said which Pokemon game. I also think you should get Fire Emblem Awakening.

MrNeonShot · Post by **MrNeonShot** » Sat Feb 22, 2014 5:24 pm

phoenix wright for the 3ds has been added to my wishlist!

Post by **Sleet** » Sun Feb 23, 2014 1:56 am

X and Y is the only option. They're so good.

And I second FE:A. Amazing game.

Megamaster · Post by **Megamaster** » Mon Feb 24, 2014 4:10 am

Got Mario and Luigi Dream Team. Been playing that.

Cesco · Post by **Cesco** » Thu Feb 27, 2014 5:22 pm

Are there graphic adventure games players here? A refined game genre strictly for PC platform where's used the mouse as controller and with a slow and thoughtful gameplay. Personally I loved to play Syberia, Syberia 2, Memento Mori and few more. Will need to recover hystoric ones like the Monkey Island series, Sam & Max series and Grim Fandango.
Exist also some Agatha Christie's novels made as graphic adventure games. If you want, download the demo version of And Then There Were None here.

Megamaster · Post by **Megamaster** » Fri Feb 28, 2014 4:53 am

Persona 4 Golden. Serious game is serious.

Silly Zealot · Post by **Silly Zealot** » Fri Feb 28, 2014 5:04 am

Some of the CDs for Monkey Island 4 and Grim Fandango that we had at home broke before we could finish the games years ago and I could never find a copy of either again. : (

GameCobra · Post by **GameCobra** » Fri Feb 28, 2014 5:58 am

My cousin likes those types of adventure games. So do I, I just didn't feel like buying any yet, except for Walking Dead. He mostly plays Broken Sword.

If I get a list of them, i'll PL them to you, or maybe post them =P

Megamaster · Post by **Megamaster** » Fri Feb 28, 2014 11:06 am

Contemplating what I should play later. Okami, Tales of Vesperia, Mario and Luigi Dream Team or Persona 4 Golden.
