I wanted to enjoy it, but absolutely hated the controls.

yeah would agree with you, I found the Wii remote and nunchuck a pain at times, I will finish it one day.
Same with NSMB on the Wii, love the Wii U version, but holding the Wii remote never worked for me.

Agreed, the game was let down by the control system in this case

DinoRex · 23-01-2013 06:02PM

Which is a real shame as I really like the look of it and the dungeons were pretty good too. I know some people didn't seem to have the problem with the controls I did, but to me they were pretty broken.

The way the motion controls work in the NintendoLand Zelda game are fantastic and work they way they're supposed to, so there is hope for the future I guess.

Went to see Wreak it Ralph in the cinema last night. Came out afterwards really wanting to pick up a woody cabinet!

I didn't realise it was out in cinemas here yet, but I knew it was running months behind the American release. Downloaded it ages ago to bring it for a spin, and I really enjoyed it. I'll still head to see it again in the cinema though.

johnny_ultimate · 23-01-2013 06:05PM

I think I just must have been lucky with Skyward Sword controls, as I thought it was fantastic bar a few little annoyances and moments of repetition. Probably my favourite Nintendo game since Mario Galaxy. A near 10/10 for me anyway, managed to recapture that sheer joy you don't get all that often in games these days.

o1s1n · 23-01-2013 06:08PM

So a good game ruined by Wii motion controls? Bloody hell, sometimes these things really are a curse. They should always include some kind of Gamecube pad support in those situations.

I don't think it's out until this time next month. Cineworld had a preview showing for people with unlimited cards so I nabbed a couple

I'm not usually one for 3D but it worked pretty well in this.

Wish they had, there were a few times (mainly boss battles) where I nearly yanked the nunchuck out of the wii remote

Ah, deadly stuff. It's definitely on my go-to-see list anyways. Really fun movie.

CiDeRmAn · 23-01-2013 06:21PM

I found the motion controls a complete drag, and even if they worked it would still have been superfluous nonsense when a control pad would have been perfect. Have to say, the game looked wonderful.

Zelda games always take their time. It's better than rushing them to be honest. I can wait.

Well seeing as you are getting Zeno****e and Shin Megami Tensei im sure the wait is easy.

How are you enjoying your WiiU so far

Oh wait :pac:

OwaynOTT · 23-01-2013 06:31PM

Motion control killed off my interest in modern console gaming and pushed me towards handheld more. I always really enjoyed handheld gaming but home console was the boss.
It's a shame as there were some great games on the Wii that I would if enjoyed playing with my GameCube controller.
Sold my ps3 last year and gave away my games. I can't blame that on motion controls but will lay it at the feet if system updates, dlc content, and taking forever to get into games. I know how to play video games and if I didn't I'd read the fu#cking manual.

DinoRex · 23-01-2013 06:31PM

The Wonderful 101 looks brilliant.. I can't wait for that one.

I concur and also condone the use if superfluous. Love saying that word.

Sparks43 · 23-01-2013 06:35PM

Skyward Sword was a brilliant game end of story

Mario Galaxy 3 coming

Mario Kart 8 coming

New Zelda coming

You can stick your Ps4 up your ass

CosmicSmash · 23-01-2013 06:37PM

I'm not 100% sure but this could be the copy of Dark Chronicle that I returned to a seller and had my money refunded. So if anybody is intrested make sure you see a picture of the manual and disk surface before parting with you cash.

DinoRex · 23-01-2013 06:46PM

Oh yes. Looking forward to grabbing The Cave later today.

Am I right in thinking that those SNES and NES games for 30 cent stop working after 30 days and you have to pay the full price?

OwaynOTT · 23-01-2013 06:50PM

Curly wurlys trending in here today. Is everyone eating one?

Jack Burton would be proud of such a disgustingly cheeky offer. #curlywurly

Retr0gamer · 23-01-2013 06:51PM

I had no problems with the motion controls in Skyward Sword except when flying the bird which was a pain in the hoop. I like it but it's lacking. It's extremely linear and everything in the game feels like a dungeon, there's no overworld eploration. Even when you are outside of a dungeon it plays pretty much like a dungeon. It gets tiring after a while.

CiDeRmAn · 23-01-2013 07:10PM

Note to self, do not buy a slightly soiled (see what I did there?), used PSVita from Sparks.... just trust me..... seems like the Vita is the new Rez Trance Pack in terms of preowned goods/hygiene issues!

Agreed, I still think it would have been as enjoyable if not more, with a standard pad.

Mario Galaxy 3 coming

Looking forward to that, anything is better than another 'new' SMB.

Mario Kart 8 coming

Kinda yawning at that, not really big into the modern ones.

New Zelda coming

That'll be coming longer than Ron Jeremy has been coming.

Super Metroid for 30 cents in a couple of months

Some price, but still, its emulated. I know I know

Demo of The Cave up on eshop now

Cool, I'll start downloading it now. It should bee ready by Saturday evening.

You can stick your Ps4 up your ass
You can stick your 720 up your ass
You can stick your PsVita
Stick your PsVita
Stick your PsVita up your ass

Agreed

CiDeRmAn · 23-01-2013 07:34PM

If he can fit all that up his ass he deserves a prize, possibly surgery too....

o1s1n · 23-01-2013 07:38PM

Can people please stop sticking things in their ass? It makes me concerned about all my second hand consoles. Especially the gba micro

Sparks43 · 23-01-2013 07:45PM

Ok this Cave game looks very very good

Think i will be taking a trip to get another eshop voucher tommorow

MrVestek · 23-01-2013 08:08PM

Any idea how much an NES style Gameboy Advance SP with one game and no charger is worth?

CiDeRmAn · 23-01-2013 08:41PM

If someone is selling one to me it's worth nothing, in fact you'll have to pay me to take it off of your hands!

Steve X2 · 23-01-2013 08:42PM

I sent those Steam gifts to everyone who PM'd me their email address's.
Any probs let me know and if anyone wants a copy also let me know as I've a few left.

pdbhp · 23-01-2013 09:11PM
