What are you playing, Nintendo edition.

Taking a break from Hyrule Warriors so decided to dig through my Wii game backlog, DKCR it is!

Just finished Bowser's Inside Story on my 3DS......fun game

Still playing Mario 3D World, Smash Bros and Bayonetta 2 on my Wii U as well as Smash Bros and New Super Mario Bros 2 on my 3DS.

First world problems........too many games, too little time!

I bought a secondhand copy of that a while back only to get home and find a copy of Partners in Time in the box instead.

Do you think BIS is worth picking up?

Did the same except went back to challenging some Liverpool fan on my friend list to a few online FIFA derbies. Still a great game of footie that...

If you like superstar saga and partners in time then you'd most likely enjoy it. Playing as Bowser is fun. I think superstar saga was my favourite of the 3 but that could be my memory playing tricks with me!

I still have to get around to playing dream team bros

It's part of a long queue waiting for my attention! Had to finish Bowser's Inside Story first anyway.

Started Ocarina of Time tonight for the first time in 6 months, beat the deku tree in 10 minutes hope to finish the game over the next couple of nights in training for Majoras Mask, I love The Legend of Zelda series, only Chrono Trigger soundtrack beats them for favorite theme music(Frog's theme).

Fantasy Life is very morish and I very like the two animated cut scenes so far.

Tip: if your first class was a fighter, get the licenses for miner, lumberjack etc. ASAP. You'll be able to mine, chop wood etc. (even if you change back to your fighter class).

I went with tailor, haven't played it that much but miner or lumberjack were next in my choices, or maybe baker, we can bake yeah? :pac:

It amazes me just how utterly addictive that is. I can, legit, just listen to it back-to-back for yonks and not even come close to tiring of it. It's always just bound up in that moment where it lulls in and then Frog strolls on screen, casual as casual can, slashing a mountain like it's a scallion-head.

Machismo Fan

I'm about fifteen hours into Ocarina of Time. Wonderful game, brilliant world but what really stands out is just how amazing the soundtrack is.

If you haven't played majoras mask yet, the music is even better.

You can argue that there is much about Majoras Mask that is better, but the music is definitely not one of them. Good yes, but better than OOT, no way. OOT had some of the greatest songs ever - Gerudo valley, Bolero of fire, Saria's song, the Lost Woods, Song of Storms... Every song you learn on the Ocarina in that game is just beautiful and catchy. I couldn't say the same for MM.

I'm not saying that the music in MM is bad - every Zelda has great music (As a kid, I never ever saved after opening the egg in Link's Awakening because I loved the Ballad of the Windfish SO MUCH. Oh the days before youtube)

cloud493

I respectfully disagree

Triple Deluxe?
Outstanding
Along with Tearaway two of the best handheld games ever.

gubbie

Playing Fantasy Life.

At first I was skeptical, now I can't put it down. I've actually played more of it than Majoras Mask despite getting them at the same time and I've only had a go at 6 lives (and hardly any Flutter quests)

Pac1Man

What's the general consensus regarding Animal Crossing vs Fantasy Life?

Fantasy Life is like Animal Crossing in that you can collect things and talk to your neighbours, go fishing and cut down trees. Fantasy Life is not like Animal Crossing in that it has a story, archery, combat, you don't have to play one day at a time.

Fantasy Life is like a game with a reason to it. Animal Crossing is like a giant tamagotchi

elekid

Yep, I like Animal Crossing but it feels shallow and empty to me compared to Fantasy Life. They have some superficial elements in common but there is a lot more to see and do in Fantasy Life.

I spent last night shopping and sewing to become an expert tailor, so addictive. I'm a master hunter and paladin now too but have dabbled in all the lifes at this point.

Did you get it as a digital download or B&M ?

Mr E

Nearly finished Shantae and the Pirates Curse. Expensive enough at 16 quid or so but I really enjoyed it. On the last section now, which is a big ramp up in difficulty.

Bugger, I can't wait for that.
There's quite a delay between the North American release and its debut here in Europe.
Must play canvas curse to prepare!

I personally fail to see the attraction with either, but I'm not the demographic

Star Lord

Really? I don't think either has a demographic to be honest. People of both genders and of all ages seem to be playing and enjoying both.

CiDeRmAn

Boys, Girls, Men and Women all seem to enjoy playing that series of titles.
Not my cup of tea though, they just feel like a glorified Tamagotchi to me!

Totally agree. These are my 5 thanks from the post comparing the two

(5) thanks from:
Andrew76, elekid, Mr E, Pac1Man, Star Lord

4 men. For two games that are itsy-bitsy-cutesy-wootsey. Definitely no demographic

Mr E

40 year old man here. I put about 80 hours into Animal Crossing when it came out. I got Fantasy Life and it's a better game in every way. About 20 hours since I got it a week or two ago.

Pretty sure that's 5 men! And I'm in my mid 30s...

And so it came to pass, the wish list grew beyond reasonable logic.

Yep, male, early 30s, 50 hours into Fantasy Life and loving it. Not sure what this thread means for the demographic!

I kind of want to know who wasn't being counted there

30-something blokes that hate life sims are most definitely not the demographic :P

I'm 21, 6'5" and a full head of hair....
In my head

Unfortunately others see me as I am, 43, 6'2" and the hair has started it's migration from the crown to the ears and nostrils

Sorry! I was trying to not make assumptions with your name but I just realised that be just saying "4 men" I was implying you were not. Oops!

Heh, it's understandable. I just haven't evolved to Electabuzz yet

I would say Fantasy Life is more of an RPG than a life sim and the "Lifes" are really gathering/crafting/combat job classes.

CiDeRmAn

We have retrogamers in their 20's, men in their 30's who play relationship sims and those who still are trying to catch'em all despite pushing 50.

ThisRegard

Late 30s myself, are we all trying to recapture our childhood? Genuinely surprised with the age spread.

Never a fan of the sims though, and never played a Pokemon game.

I enjoy Animal Crossing (till I've everything paid off / upgraded, then it gets boring fast) but I couldn't stand most 'life' sims like... erm... the sims...

Tom Nook is a git

Pac1Man

Jumping between Etrian Odyssey IV and Mario Golf at the moment. They work in perfect harmony with each other.

smokingman

I'll be 40 in June so much like a few of the oldies here, I'm a Nintendo Peter Pan.

Haven't played Nintendo since last weekend as I'm trying to teach my 5 year old how to use a keyboard and mouse (he's been spoiled with touch screens up to now).
Minecraft certainly helps with that I can tells us!

Gunmonkey

Probably dropping back into Hyrule Warriors later today since the last DLC is meant to be out (we get it the same day as Japan). Playing as Ganon looks so much fun

chrislad

I've been playing Majoras Mask (for the first time!) and I'm really enjoying it. About half way through the game with two dungeons cleared and about 10 masks. I'll also dipping in and out of Smash Bros. 3DS and Theatrhythm. Both excellent time sinks.

Machismo Fan

Yeah I've put over 70 hours into Theatrhythm between the two games. Brilliant for flights.

Just had a look at the community and Europe has it this morning....have to grab a bottle on the way home for this tonight so....

CiDeRmAn

Played two hours of Chrono Trigger on the Super Nintendo this morning, very very enjoyable stuff.
I think it's out on VC, so why don't you own it already?
Also available for the DS too.
