I only have 55 hrs done in White, once I caught Clefairy I was happy enough to stop so I could start to play Mother3

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?

Twinbee ftw!
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.

You're just a show off :P

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...

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!

The bottom five, minus the 3DO, is the quintessence of trolling:

Hmm, who could it be?
I like Boulder Dash, but I don't love it.....
Repton and Dig Dug are better.
