New Ninty Gets!

CiDeRmAn

Sorry to the most awesome mod in these parts for starting such a thread.
And I acknowledge the overlap between this forum and the retro game forum.
But I think Nintendo fans out there who love their WiiU and Wii, maybe love their new 3DSXL, should be aware of the Ninty fresh goodness out there and purchases of same.
Perhaps expanding knowledge and encouraging awesome spending on Nintendo gems they might never have come across.

Today I got three things of interest.

First was a lovely mint Gameboy Micro, dressed in black.
This console is a real peach, and hosts a tiny form factor and a small, crisp screen.
This is probably my 4th GB Micro over the years and a fabulous piece of kit.
No Nintendo owner who loves the company's output should be without one.
Like the GBA and GBA:SP it is compatible with the entire GBA back catalogue, but unlike those other machines the GB Micro won't run your Gameboy or Gameboy Color library.

I also picked up Boktai and Boktai 2, both made by Kojima, the gent behind Metal Gear Solid and Zone of Enders, very nice GBA rpgs they are too, using actual sunlight to power up your weapon.

So, a few very nice Nintendo gets there.
I can't recommend picking up Nintendo hardware enough, it is almost all worth having, aside perhaps for the badly made Wii Mini, piece of sh1te that it is.

Bought Alpha Sapphire in Cex for €38 as nobody shared any of the €10 ones from Tesco a few months back.

Did you play the other persona games? I can't remember us talking about it lol :pac:

Yeah love Teddy he is mental, the vita game is crazy, persona 3 on psp is so good too, played 1 and 2 too a lot plainer but good games, arena and the dancing game were too much, sort of stop it he's already dead type situation.

Q is interesting couldn't play it too much when I first got it due to my vision issues which seem a lot better now so I'm gonna give it a go, tomorrow I'm getting my Etrinian Odyssey ds and 3ds games out of storage too, have 20 games so far to play over Christmas all for ds or 3ds as that is the most I can handle, bloody wii u is gathering dust as I can't see a tv screen too well enough to use it. Am gonna buy Earthbound on the 3ds e shop too so I'll have quite a few games to get through, ah the joys of being a lazy do nothing.

I ordered Corpse Party on 3DS, mainly for the figures lol, don't have a NTSC 3DS to play the game yet, it comes with an ost too.
It was the same price to get this as it was to buy the figures alone.
Atavan was kind enough to post it over to me with some goodies like Amiibo cards

thanks again.

That's nice! Pity we didn't that in euroworld

Only in Americas and definitely in the Asias can you have a party with a corpse's in 3d too.

I think it's on the eshop just not a physical copy. We got a different physical one for like Vita with different figures I think so "it's fair" is what you'll see online

OwaynOTT

Yeah it's on the eshop but I like cardboard not digital.

Same, as much as I'm like "oh I'll never have more than 1 3DS" I'm thinking of getting a new 3DS but NTSC because of stuff like this :l
SMTIV the first one is the same, physical there, digital here.

I was thinking the same before that you can never have enough 3DS

Here's the Amiibo cards that was in my package I got with copy of Corpse Party

Smyths have some good prices at the moment.

I picked up Dragon Quest for €30 and Star Fox for €25.

I thought I would give Star Fox a go at that price. Is it really as bad as they say?

Worse. I've no interest in playing it again. The controls are terrible, should have been a new game instead of a "reimagining" and they should have included online multiplayer modes. It's a very short game too though I'll never know.

Smyths must have reduced it further as I thought I seen it for €35 the other day. Then again, their prices keep fluctuating all the time.

Pac1Man

Feck.

Not at all. The controls things is way overblown and I would say try it for yourself and let the controls adapt, it's worth it imo. It should have been a brand new game and the camera has issues in All-Range mode but it's still a very decent game. Once they click it becomes automatic. For €25 it's well worth it.

I would suggest playing the demo before opening the game and you could be back in Smyths tomorrow looking for a refund. I recommend everyone does this and you'll get an idea of its biggest problem but definitely not its only one.

There's a demo? Hot diggity dog! I mean Fox! Cheers Schligs.

Love Star Fox Zero, the controls require some acclimatisation but I found it to be immensely satisfying after that.

Star Lord

Received a secret Santa gift today, from some mysterious soul from the Arcade and Retro forum, and in the package was a nice pair of 1-up mushroom socks and the wonderful Zak and Wiki, for the Wii! A title I'd actually been wanting to get for a long time, but never got round to it!

It also included a Tom Nook amiibo, who has already started demanding that I start paying him everything that I earn, so it's been nice knowing you all...

Santy brought Mega Yoshi!
I knew being a good boy all year... Well, mostly good... would pay off!

OwaynOTT

Only the one Ninty get for me, despite dropping hints repeatedly for that hideous gameboy wallet.
Thankfully it was a good game that I don't have all ready legends of legacy.

Happy Nintendomas

Pac1Man

I must have been good this year. I got Rayman Legends for the Wii U (finally!). I'll see if it can stake a claim to be the console's best platformer.

Also got Animal Crossing New Leaf as Virtues Last Reward for the 3DS. Arguably the most polar opposite games of all time!

I have yet to play any of these yet though.

CiDeRmAn

My other gaming gets are non Nintendo and so are unworthy of inclusion here, in such esteemed Ninty company.

Yes, I thought it was great. I felt parts dragged on a bit at times though.

It's a pity Zero Time Dilemma is digital only!
