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.

I haven't played it since release (although I played it a lot then!) but the QTEs never bothered me much in Bayonetta. It managed a good mix I felt, given how much of the insanity was fully playable (unlike, say, the utter junk that is Azura's Wrath).

You will be glad to hear, though, QTEs are disposed of near entirely in the sequel, barring the returning prompts for torture attacks and finishing moves

Ah good to hear. I don't mind the ones for torture or finishing as they're expected (and produce fun results!). Did you replay chapters much to get better medals/rewards? I'm only at Chapter IV and pretty average with the medals so far. That weapons dude went and fashioned a cool looking sword for me but it didn't appear in the list to buy for some reason.

It must have been great fun working on that game thinking up crazy ass move sets.

Took your advice and started playing Bayonetta first. Great game and the combat is superb. But one thing that annoys me is the amount of quick time events during some of the cinematics - every few minutes there some sequence that requires a single button press, time it wrong and instant death. Rinse and repeat til you get it right. :mad: The only complaint I have so far.

Anyone know if the ones in Argos tomorrow are first print seeing as it is advertised as one and two together?

You can get 1 and 2 together without it being First Print. Almost zero chance of getting the First Print edition now I would say. 1 and 2 together is just the special edition.

I see no reason not to play the first first if you haven't already. The refinements to the new one aren't game changing, but they're subtle enough that going backwards might be a bit jarring. Mostly, though, it is still and always will be a masterpiece (as is the second, based on the first few hours), and better to play them in the order intended You aren't playing them for the story though :pac:

Picked Up Final Fantasy Curtain Call for 3DS in CeX a couple of days ago, good fun so far.

Not bad for €25 too.

I arrived in work yesterday expecting my Bayonetta package and instead find it still undelivered, meaning it'll be Tuesday before I have it.
Not only that but I'm on a weeks leave after today, meaning I'll have to travel back into work to collect it

Kinda in the same boat but just have Tuesday off....still killing me though.

As a newb, I'm playing 1 first, so then I won't have anything spoiled story wise by 2, and I can appreciate the changes they've made too.

Banjo

I'm really happy for you all, you bar stewards.

Anyone played both 1 & 2 yet? Should newbies start on the new one or the remake? I have till maybe Tuesday to decide
:'(

Just noticed Bayonetta 2 checked in to PM just before 3pm. So should have it early tomorrow morning. Happy days.

Just checked my order, seems it's being sent straight to my anti-wife finding out location, otherwise known as work!
Hopefully the lovely girl herself will be waiting for me on the desk when I get in on Saturday.

Why why WHY did I go SuperSaver?
still have an order for Hyrule Warriors put in at the weekend that hasn't shipped. I'm sure whatever I'm saving in delivery I'm spending on blood pressure pills from the constant refreshes of the Order Status screen. So *this* is what Witch Time feels like...

I've always found super saver times the exact same as regular post times. I actually got Watchdogs for the PS4 delivered for release day, using super saver.

Would ebay be the best bet for something like that?

Just took delivery yesterday of Scribblenauts Unmasked for the WiiU.
It only came out in the US and Australia, and Oz is a PAL region so safe to import.
Safe to say this is a very rare PAL title!
Anyway, that's part of my sons Xmas pressie sorted.

This one is courteous of Cloud, so thanks!
