Dunno if I'm going to get it again (since it'd be, like, my fifth copy), but I guess the appeal to have it along the 3DS version would be having a console version with customizable controls and save states at a low price.

This is it, there is some charm in playing the original, but having the game on a console has a different, but similar charm.

Also, if you already have the game on Wii VC, at two bucks, its a no brainer.

About time we got those Ace Attorney themes. Bummed that we didn't get AW2 since I haven't played it. I think I'm going to get Mercenaries Saga 2 . It will most likely scratch my tactics itch.

How are the Samurai Warrior Chronicles game? Wonder if this one will have Masamune Date in it.
Click to expand...

Have you played any other Musou game? If yes, you can't go wrong with that one, though personally, I find the multi-character system (you can control up to 4 characters during battle, switching from one to the other, giving them orders, etc...) really adds a lot to gameplay.

Also, Masamune Date has been in every single Samurai Warriors game since the first one, so... :D

You get a VC release of Super Butoden 2 on the SNES with this purchase in Europe.. Japanese version, of course. But it's a 3DS promotion, and it doesn't say the SNES game is for Wii U or anything.. So, SNES on 3DS later in the year? Probably not, but then what is this?
Click to expand...

Very interesting indeed. Licensed import Virtual Console titles are more than welcome, and SNES on 3DS is cool too. Hope we figure this out soon.

Two of the greats. Put down whatever you're playing now. It's not as good.

Pullbox, you crazy European, and HarmoKnight.

I own them all minus Fluidity, they're all good games.

From best to worst, IMO:

Pullblox/Fullblox (Pullblox is now cheaper, but Fullblox is more complete)
Fallblox (as good as the others, but less replayability, it's a more "standard" puzzle game)
Wario Land 3 (IMO a masterpiece, but many people don't like its Metroid element)
Wario Land 2 (genius action/puzzle game, very fun and funny)
Boxboy (first walkthrough is too easy/dull, but more layers of difficulty unlock later)
Starship Patrol (it's a good tower defence game)
Reflect Missile (it's well done, if a little bland)
HarmoKnight (didn't get into it despite the excellent presentation, I don't like the music)

Shiggy said:
Why is Pullblox better than the other two -blox titles?
Click to expand...
If you can read French, you can read my Pullblox/Fallblox comparison review.

In a nutshell, they're not the same types of puzzle games. Pullblox has simpler rules, and most of its actions are easily reversible, whereas Fallblox is much more complex and a "make a mistake and the puzzle becomes unsolvable" sort of game. They're both good and depending on your taste you may like Fallblox better, but Pullblox is funnier to play and it's easier to design interesting user made levels for it, so Pullblox will probably give you more for your time and money.

Fullblox is basically Pullblox in 3D, it's the same base concept but with a dimension added. It's equally good, but more varied, and the editor has more potential. It was much less popular, though, so there are less user made levels for it (I designed levels for both Pullblox and Fullblox, BTW). Pullblox is also cheaper.

Wonder if Ace Attorney Trilogy is ever going to dip below $22.49. I'd kinda like to have it but I still do own the DS games…

Mercenaries Saga 2 looks interesting. Any reviews out there yet?
I just want to know if the battle system is ok, and the time it takes to complete the game.

I think there's at least another Mine craft clone on the wiiu eshop, but maybe there's even more

Anyway, this one is really looking good. There's an update coming that will add multi-player (I think local multiplayer) some other stuff like fixing bugs and so on. But after the update the game will be more expensive

I just started playing it, I'm on the fourth mission and I'm not regretting my purchase yet. The game is fun and seems to have some content for what I spent. The music is a little generic and it uses some of the same sound effects from adventure bar story. It plays like your typical tactics game, and the story might be a little generic but I'm not finding it boring yet either. You also upgrade your characters class when they reach certain requirements.
I would recommend it for someone who's looking for a quick pick up and play tactacs rpg game, but it is a little on the easy side.

To answer your question:
From I've played, yes, the battle system seems to be ok. I don't know yet how much time it takes to finish, but I'm breezing through, so hopefully there's a lot of missions.

What I find funny about that is the game did come out in a part of Europe...not that I'd want to play it in 50Hz and French...

Seven Force said:
Just a heads up that this version isn't going to have the music from the original release because of the Yamamoto stuff. Bamco actually went out of their way to make an entirely new 16-Bit soundtrack for the pre order bonus version of the game. (The one in the 3DS collection still uses the original music, funnily enough.)
Click to expand...
The Yamamoto stuff in question is you can find a lot of examples of him committing plagiarism (usually Swedish Heavy Metal) but ultimately using Terminator Salvation and Avatar tunes in Dragon Ball Z Kai was a step too far that got him and his music removed from Dragon Ball Z.

Gaming press don't care (they would rather asked a clueless executive about VR he has never experienced as he was at E3 to work not to play...I mean said executive would not know shit about the VC either and the VR generated way more traffic for the press) and all we can do is get the customer services who just forward the comment onto the appropriate department.

I just started playing Paper Mario on Wii U VC, and honestly I'm not even noticing how dark it is when playing on the gamepad. (No idea what it looks like on TV)

Boxboy is great. It's my #1 most played game this year so far. I got more than 10 hours of it. I think it's a really clever game... and it's got so much content for only $5...or whatever it is in your region.

HarmoKnight is my #2 most played game with almost 10 hours. It was very fun and addicting while it lasted. It has a demo too, and if you like the demo, you would probably like the full game.

I got Fluidity: Spin Cycle as a Club Nintendo freebie, and got stuck on world 1-13. I can't figure out how to progress. So I can't recommend it unfortunately.

How is the N64 version being displayed in that pic? I'm not sure how you would do a direct comparison to the original with so many variables between the display formats.

But we know the color values, right? I mean, we can export textures from the ROM and look at them directly, so we can know exactly how an N64 game should look.

It's really a non-issue on the Gamepad after you turn the brightness to the max.

Not that there's been an official statement but I'm pretty sure it's to compensate for the lack of scan lines, which these games were originally made to be played through.

Now while I respect that, I do think Paper Mario was too dark.

They should just make the filtering optional like M2 does on GBA. Same for NES.

SNES and DS look okay enough, but unfiltered options would be nice there too.
