I hope Star Fox 64 goes on sale. I'm holding out to see if it does cause I still have to pay for SSB. I already own most of these games anyway.

When it comes to which one to play first, should I play Seasons or Ages? I actually bought the two of them earlier during some sale but I never played them.

It doesn't really matter honestly. When you finish whichever, you get a password you can input into the other game, and it'll essentially be a continuation of the first one. You start with an extra heart container and I think a sword, and certain characters from the first game you played will be in the second (and characters in both will recognize you), and there are a few changed/additional scenarios. Characters in the second game will also give you codes to input into the first game for special items (stuff like sword and shield upgrades, etc), and that will also give you a code to put into the second game to get those items there as well.

Then after you finish the second game, you get a code that lets you play through it again with an unaltered plot, but with the extra heart container and you can transfer your rings over too (which, when finished, will give you a code for the first game so you can play that again with the changed plot).

That probably sounds way more confusing than it really is.

Bahaha, it's actually a good answer and I understood everything. Pretty neat, I didn't know that the games sort of interact with each other. Thanks!

There's a notable lack of Earthbound representation in the OP. What's up, Nintendo?

I'm eyeing F-Zero, Mega Man X2, Oracle Seasons, and Oracle of Ages this week.

Blech, bought Sonic 1 before I realized it was the game gear version. Oh well, at least it was cheap. Still own the genesis version and my genesis, so I'll hook that up if I ever want to play a non garbage game called Sonic the Hedgehog.

Is playing Mega Man X on WiiU worth paying the 5 bucks? Does it look good on modern TVs?
Click to expand...
All the SNES Wii U VC games that I've seen look great, MMX included.

The NES emu is dark and looks like ass though.

How do you figure? I like the miiverse support personally.

Even on the same system and TV, NES emulation looks vastly superior in Wii mode compared to the Wii U NES emulation. It is much crisper and vivid.

For some reason Nintendo applies an unnecessary blur filter to NES software on Wii U, which overly softens the image. It's a shame because NES emulation was nearly perfect on Wii.

What do you guys think of the Megaman games? I've never played a Megaman game at all and have been meaning to try one to see what all the fuss is about.

How big is Kid Icarus ? Like in block size.

Just saw that Smash is 22000 blocks and I am worried about space =x

Zelda: Oracle of the Ages or Seasons, guys. What would you suggest for someone who's played neither.
Click to expand...

Well, to answer you're going to have to do some prep work.

First, invent a time machine and go back in time to circa October 2013.

Next, pre-order A Link Between Worlds from GameStop.

Now return to the present in your time machine.

If you've done everything correctly, you not only have A Link Between Worlds but you've got a download code for Oracle of Seasons. So go ahead and pick up Oracle of Ages because it's the only one you don't have.

Any idea how much Donkey Kong will drop to? I am hopping it hits $35 or below. If it does I'll probably end up skipping Hyrule Warriors (for now) and pick that up instead.

Yessssssss. Didn't realize this was going on. Gonna be picking up the Oracles when I can. I already own Seasons on the GBC, but I never got a chance to play Ages. Can't wait to experience Ages and play through Seasons again.

Game Gear Sonic is legit. Dat music by Yuzo Koshiro.

We've talked about this, bro. $30 (with presumably no tax) is the cheapest it's been outside of a few select brick-and-mortar sales, and the cheapest it's going to get for a long time. Here's the eBay for sold listings of FE Awakening - you'll see that it's $30+ shipped.

If you want it now, get it now.

I got my copy last Black Friday for $25 from Amazon (Canada). It's not out-of-print or as hard to find as Kid Icarus Uprising, so it could drop in price eventually.

Got SMB3 for 3DS. Would've got 3DLand if I could do this stuff from home.

Disappointing that Zelda II and Link's Awakening aren't part of the sale. Maybe I'll finally get Oracle of Ages since I own OoS for GBC.

Also lol @ not having a classic Pac-Man game or Champion Edition.

No Link's Awakening? Ugh.

Sonic The Hedgehog for Game Gear? Are you KIDDING me?
Click to expand...

Yeah sucks that there's no Link's Awakening. Luckily I got it for 99 cents last week when Gamestop had the $5 off anything coupons from Kongregate.

I never thought to buy Digital games from Gamestop, but while that coupon was active, I bought damn near everything that was priced $5.99.

Grabbed Fire Emblem. Considering ALBW. Enjoyed the demo for FE, so I'm looking forward to more of that.

Either that is a pathetic sale or Steam has corrupted me far beyond recovery

EDIT: ^this guy knows

Have kind of had the same mindset since I got my 3DS. But at least I play the games I buy for it. I have so many Steam games I've never touched, just because they looked like good deals I didn't want to miss and haven't had time for them, then forgot about them. I've had to look up games I own in order to find out if I'd be interested enough in them to even install them.

Not that I'd argue against deeper discounts, Nintendo.

Can't go wrong with either one. Both are great.

The Kid Icarus price is tempting but I really like being able to sell my games after I beat them. Buying a physical copy at say $32 is still a better value than being stuck with a digital version at $25.

Gonna pick up Lttp and Minish Cap for Wii U. Mix would have picked up Wind Waker but Nintendo don't want to sell it to me I guess.
