What are you playing, Nintendo edition.

So what are you currently playing on your Nintendo consoles at the moment?

I've not a lot to add myself. My 3DS is taking a break while I play a few game on my long neglected Vita and PSP. I know, I'm a traitor.

On WiiU I've been playing a bit of NSMB U on and off. I'm making my way slowly through it since I'm only moving on when I collect all 3 coins in each level. So far it's one of the best Mario platformers, I love it. Looking forward to Mario Kart although I might not get a lot of time to play it since I'll be moving into a new place.

On the Wii I've been playing a good bit of Lost in Shadow. It's a game that would have made a good 4 hour indie game but I think the main game is stretched too thin across too long a playing time.

Also playing Last Story on the Wii which I'm finding a fascinating experience. It's so different from any other RPG. I'm really enjoying it.

On the old school front I've been playing a bit of Yoshi's Island on the SNES. Trying to 100% it which is a lot harder than tackling the levels normally!

I think I'm playing far too many games atm I'll have to break them down into two sections Handheld and Home Console

HandHeld
GBA- Super Mario World I just got to the Valley of Bowser

3ds - Fire Emblem Sacred Stones.
Professor Layton and the Lost Future
Pokemon Y
LoZ The Minish Cap
Yoshi's Island

Home Console

Wii U - Mario Kart 8
NSMB U
Final Fantasy IV
LoZ -Twilight Princess

Gamecube - Super Mario Sunshine
Metroid Prime
LoZ -WindWaker

I think I might be playing too many games at once :P I just got my Wii U this week so before that I was mainly playing gamecube games on my wii, I usually play my 3ds for about 40 mins every night before heading to bed

Theatrhythm final fantasy. Hated the demo so I didn't know if I was gonna like this, but I do its great

I played on 'give me Deus Ex'. The load times were killing me but it forces you to learn to use cover and distraction efficiently. Or, in my case, die trying. Ultimately gave up on the first hub - the city- because I kept not making jumps and dying after falling 1 storey. Sure I can survive that in real life and I don't have robolegs

Having said that, I avoided firefights and went almost exclusively for takedowns. Recoil wasn't an issue

nix

Playing Deus ex Human revolution at the moment, i started off on normal mode but when i got to the first boss i just had to switch to easy mode (i never do this) but i just cant aim for **** on consoles with fps games, analogue is just so slow and inaccurate for me, i need a keyboard and a mouse

The game was also very hard on normal mode, normal sentries one-two shotting you and recoil goes to **** after first shot, heh did anybody play this on normal mode on WiiU? :pac:

Got a demo of Tomodachi Life for the 3DS and just finished that. Really fun game, totally bizarre but I like how they localised it for Ireland. Added Irish € layout (€0.00 vs 0.00€) and European date/spelling.

Little things like that show me they put a lot of effort into the game!

Currently downloading the Chibi Robo demo!

I am looking forward to Tomodachi Life, though I'm not sure it's worth full price tbh.
I have Chibi Robo on the Gamecube and DS and haven't really played them, not sure this new one would get much more play, but I might just need to apply myself!

I'm currently trying to make some head way into Infinite Space, a pretty vast though under explained space warfare game on the DS.
It's pretty hard to come by, online it runs at a fair few bob, though I found mine, for a fiver, in Gamestop.

Magical starsign - I don't like it. Its way too slow, the controls are way too much of a pain.

CiDeRmAn

It's pretty much a game of pure awesomeness alright.
Only dark cloud is the lack of multiplayer arena stages, if it had those it would have been well nigh perfect, and a shoo-in for future top ten lists of all time.

How long have you had that game and your only just starting it

This is my third copy(damn CeX keeps getting it in) have sold the other two while doing college have a two week break now before my prep for my repeats starts so I am cramming all my gaming into that time. Doing college with Aspergers and Anxiety with the bonus of being semihomeless sucked big time, I hope Karma is real as I am due a **** load.

Banjo

the eShop version has 3D map on the top screen

It's technically a 3DS game rather than a DS though I don't think they did a lot to pretty it up. You can use the Home button without killing the game - bonus!

DQMJ was a great game, played a lot of it when my first daughter was born while waiting for bottles to cool and whatnot. Not sure it holds up that well these days though. If you like grinding, it's excellent.

Be warned, last time those games got flagged in Argos, they were in a 2 for €20-something deal, but less than a tenner each. Don't buy them both at the same time just in case

Physical copy's going for the same in Argos. Which is neat for a game that was uncertain to get a PAL release 3 year ago. Club Nintendo points check out too.

As too is DQMJ (dunno if it's one or two, given the thumbnail list 2, yet the descrip says it's 1). I've only gotten as far as the original Dragon Warrior/Quest Monsters relatively recent-ish, so I think I'm a decade-ish off speaking for its quality:

Starting Bravely Default after the football tonight, haven't looked forward so much to playing a game since Final Fantasy IX, also have Tales of the Abyss but some fcuker spoiled the twist in that on me a while back. Man I love me some good RPGs.

Little King's Story on the Wii. Cool little ditty that meshes enough genres together that no aspect ever gets too dull or laboured. AI's a bit off, backtracking can start to grate on occasion, but it has been a rewarding experience thus far, with a cushy difficulty curve too. It does get points, however, for having an NPC crack the forth-wall to apologise to the player for the fetch/collect'em elements.

Ye I agree, but having to reset to save games seems weird though.

CiDeRmAn

Coupled with an NTSC console and an RGB modded one at that, it really is the only way to get the best out of an N64.

The_B_Man

For those with an Everdrive 64, is it really that annoying to have to reset the console to save before turning it off? Apart from that, and the price, it seems a good piece of kit!

I have the old Everdrive MD version, very handy devices.

I've got three, one for the N64, one for the MD and one for my TG-16/Express.
They are pure brilliant and class leading in the world.
Great prices too, but follow the first shop link from Krikzz page, it's essentially where he sells them, everyone else is a reseller and loads on their own percentage.
Also, though they are being shipped from Ukraine it's pretty quick.
krikzz also updates the devices as required until perfect so buy with confidence.

Your post is the first time I've heard of the Everdrive and after a quick youtubing, I now want one! Can I ask where you got it and for how much?

I got it from my brother, he bought it but realised he wasn't as into N64 as he thought.
I gave him a PAL N64 and a collection of classic titles in its stead.
The everdrive is set to NTSC and so I can now run the full games library on my N64, via RGB so it's all faster and looks crispy clear.
There's stuff you can't get here, like Mario 64 and Waverace 64 rumble editions, fantastic.
Good thing about the N64 is get the American or Jap version, quick snip and all carts fit in.
A EU power supply will power it too, to save shipping weight.

Pilotwings Resort, I waited so long for that game, waited since 95 and Pilotwings 64!
and I was so disappointed!
I loved the N64 game and played it to death.
I recently got an Everdrive 64 and played it in its NTSC guise and the extra speed is a revelation, stunning stuff even after nearly 20 years, and there aren't that many polygon based games that can do that, though most of them are made by Nintendo!

I spent many hours replaying that Giant-from-the-sea gyro copter mission. One of the best levels of any game I've played!

Pilotwings resort - I bought this with the 3DS at launch and remember thinking it was pretty crap, but playing it now for a much cheaper price, I'm really digging it. Controls aren't great for the rocket jetpack thing, but still fun.

On a Mario Kart buzz at the moment. Mostly MK8 but also playing some of the original and MK64 too. On the real hardware, of course.
