The translation patch for Ys Origins is out. http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showthread.php?t=446677

Linking to the neogaf thread because it has useful info on getting it running.

I'm going to give it a go with the version that was given away a few months ago.

Anyone ever hear of this LCD handheld? It's called 'Laden VS USA'. You have to fly planes into the twin towers -

It's on ebay but it's unfortunately super expensive.

What in the fcuk is that all about!

Had to check the date to make sure it wasn't April's Fools. "The game can also play inspiring music..." eh, ok. Some folk would say it should be called USA VS USA to be more accurate. :rolleyes:

DinoRex · 28-09-2011 10:54pm

Four Swords is out for free on the 3DS and DSi today by the way...

o1s1n · 29-09-2011 12:11pm

I've been refusing to read any information about Dark Souls as I don't own a PS3. Hearing all the hype over Demon's Souls and not being able to play it was awful.

What I also missed what the pretty monumental fact that it's coming to the 360. Not only that, but it's out next week.

I am both super excited and freaked out. Freaked out due to the sheer amount of (as someone over in the Games forum put it) 'wallet rape' I'm going to experience with new games over the next while! Why do they always come out at once?!

johnny_ultimate · 29-09-2011 12:16pm

It's not just the money, it's the sheer amount of time required that intimidates most.

Dark Souls, by most early previews, is 100+ hours long.

:eek:

o1s1n · 29-09-2011 12:48pm

At least it's value for money I guess!

I checked the time stats on my 3DS recently and I've played a whopping 4 and a half hours of Starfox 3D.

johnny_ultimate · 29-09-2011 12:55pm

I'm never sure if I like time tracking or not. On one hand, the Steam and Wii updates are interesting. On the other, I remember being shocked to discover I'd played 100+ hours of Oblivion. Problem was I didn't really like it that much

Retr0gamer · 29-09-2011 12:58pm

I always take recommended levels and times to beat games with a pinch of salt. Remember the 150+ hour FFVII? Beaten in 40 hours. I'm usually able to beat games in half the time reviewers say it will take. Fallout 3 200 hours? Beaten in 120 with all the DLC and doing every sidequest and a lot of exploring. I'd say DS is a 50 hour game at most.

Atavan-Halen · 29-09-2011 1:48pm

You're just a show off :P

Currently racked up 190 hours on Pokémon Black. How? I do not know...

Ikaruga meets Metroidvania game Outland is on sale for a fiver on XBLA this week. Have been meaning to give it a go

CiDeRmAn · 29-09-2011 7:59pm

So, to Twinbee or not to Twinbee, I can't decide between it or the re-version of Xevious for the 3DS.
tbh they all leave me a bit cold, when are we going to see the likes of Castlevania SOTN remastered?

Love Twinbee great fun I'd like to get it but how many versions of the one game can I have:(

Edit: Just checked and the answer is one.

I put about 1k into Pokemon Blue, near enough the same amount into Dragon Warrior Monsters and over 250 into Pokemon Gold back in the day. I think I put over 350 into Disgaea on the PS2 as well.

Long are the days past when I would put silly amounts of time into video games... A good thing as it means I have more time to play other stuff, but also a bad thing too as I rarely truly master or "completely" complete games anymore, either because I can't be bothered or something else comes along. I suppose I'm older and have more stuff to be getting on with in life. Those epic sessions on Pokemons Blue and Gold were done when I was in school.

I'm going to be reigning in my spending now however as I bought an awful lot of stuff over the summer, right before signing up on here. That means I should be playing a lot more as opposed to buying.... thats the plan anyway. I have a few games pre-ordered but I won't be getting any more epics hauls I'd say until after Christmas.

DinoRex · 30-09-2011 12:59am

I see what they did there...

CiDeRmAn · 30-09-2011 8:08am

I wonder how much that dept were paid to come up with that one?
Other options included...
MK: WTF? Blue shell strikes again!
MK6, because none of you shall remember the sh1te one on the N64
MK: Yoshi loses his arms again and has to use a specially adapted kart
MK: Green, where the karts are eco karts, run on virtual batteries that only let them get to 30kph before running out of charge....

Any other ideas?

I'm just concerned it may not feature Mario or Karts... he hasn't stated why those are in the title...

o1s1n · 30-09-2011 10:30am

Either stick to all your core cannon games being numerically sequenced or don't bother. It makes no sense.

Including the two arcade games, this is in fact Mario Kart 9. If the Mario Kart home games were sequenced, then it would make sense to omit them and call this Mario Kart 7. As it stands now though, it's just daft.

I'm really suprised they didn't call it 'Mario Kart 3D'.

DinoRex · 30-09-2011 10:32am

But the number 7 looks a bit like a race track!

o1s1n · 30-09-2011 10:46am

A race track where after 1 lap you drive off the course into oblivion?

The only reason I can think for this name exisiting is because 7 is a lucky number in Japan. Which, to be fair, Nintendo need buckets of with this console.

Retr0gamer · 30-09-2011 11:05am

Found an old issue of retrogamer with the definitive guide to boulderdash in it. I'm guessing someone on here would be interested in it, not really sure who though....

I disagree, its kinda sexy that they jumped out at us with a numbered game all of a sudden, keeps a gamer on his toes!

Maybe if it was the number 8. I like me some curves.

Hopefully for you 3DS owners it doesn't turn out to be a No. 2 and is something you can pump more than 4 hours into!
