Put it on slow at first, it helps, then Push A, when the arrow hits the left side of the meter hit A again (this determines power), and when the arrow gets back to where it started, hit A (this determines aim.)jamesinclair said:
I doubt it. It'll probably come with Tri G and possibly be sold separately for $10-$15. But honestly, there are enough topics about that, let's not derail this one too.consoul said:
So um, I could be wrong, but I think that if you are playing an NES VC game and simply close the screen, you cannot receive Streetpass. You must suspend the game, go to the home screen, and then close the lid. I believe you should still be able to get SP while you are playing the game.
I work at a college campus and I was getting 2-3 SPs per day. Then two days straight I was playing Zelda and simply closed the screen, never got any SP during those days. Come to work today, suspended to the home screen, and I already got an SP today after 1 hour at work.
Either I was very unlucky those two days, or no SP if you close lid while in the middle of gameplay.

The worst offender of '2P GAMEPLAY' has to be the original Double Dragon on NES.
I even remember the huge blowout in Nintendo Power where they showcased the game and the additional 2P fighting mode. But they did not go out of their way to explain the 2P main game was one player at a time.
The box didn't go out of it's way to explain that either. When I got home my buddy and I kept resetting the game and trying to get it so we could both play.
That said, it was still a solid game (although the 2P fighting mode sucked) but damnit, how can you make Double Dragon a 1P game? Luckily Sega didn't have that problem, although their control style was a little funky (more like double dragon II with directional attack buttons I think.)

Looks like I have until 12/30/2011 to do my Post-Play surveys for the NES games on Club Nintendo

Double Dragon was still an awesome game at least. I remember also being disappointed as a kid, especially because the game doesn't even turn your character into Jimmy Lee when it's Player 2's turn to play. At least there's still a possibility Double Dragon fighting mode for EVO 2012, please.DJ_Tet said:
I admit it wasn't like a technical issue either, since River City Ransom exists and DD2 & 3 had proper coop modes, and those games were more demanding.

By the end of the year if I remember correct, not any specific dates. Probably will be given a certain date at the conference.

No doubt, at least Double Dragon was still a great 1P game. Could have been much worse, say something like Bad Dudes.
I think the decision to make DD probably was technical, since it had plenty of screen flicker in the 1P mode. But like you said, DD2 and 3 were probably better looking games and were 2P, both of those had tons of flicker though as well.

Yeah, Bad Dudes is an embarrassing port. Nothing had pixel movement on a system known for games that had fluid movement on top of sloppy collision detection.

Kinda the wrong thread...but I think they said this month (September) at E3. So we'll just have to wait for it to randomly appear. Or maybe it got delayed to add online!Yenrot said:
Anywayz: having fun with SMB, and Zelda 1. Of all the highscore type games Donkey Kong Jr. Is my favorite even though I cant get past the second level lol.
Thanks, posted here because the iOS app is broken so no searching that (easy) way.WiiRevolution1 said:Kinda the wrong thread...but I think they said this month (September) at E3. So we'll just have to wait for it to randomly appear. Or maybe it got delayed to add online!

Anyway, on topic, I'm finding Zelda 1 so hard. Massive amounts of grinding needed, I think.

Do tell. How do you expect to grind in this game?
Like I mentioned before in this tread, the game is meant to be played with this map, that was included in the box: Legend_of_zelda_map_front.jpg
It will make it a lot easier.
Edit:
O, zelda II, ok.
If you do plan to grind, do it as early in the game as possible, because you require a lot less xp to level up. Finishing temples will give you a free level up, which are better spend on later levels than on the early levels. If you are on level 6-6-6 before finishing a temple you are golden. I explained an easy way to grind in the early game in this post: Zelda II grinding

I noticed. That map is most useful for getting you on your way. It doesn't really help you anymore when you're near the end of the game, but by that time you should've gotten the hang of the game.
Wow - this thread is a a good example of the generation gap amongst gamers. Never would I have expected to see comments like "Zelda/Metroid are fundamentally broken." I don't entirely blame you guys that feel this way, because it's a good example of how modern games hold the player's hand with things like quest pointers/compasses, etc. Things that were commonplace, and games that millions of people experienced and loved are now considered "fundamentally broken" by modern gamers.
This makes me a sad panda.
The comments from people that are discovering these games for the first time and really enjoying them are pretty cool, though.

So I surrendered my ambassador games and black 3DS to someone else in exchange for a brand new Flame Red 3DS. The irony? The squeaky D-pad that bothered me while playing Ambassador games so much does not exist on this red model, which has no such NES games. At least I'm more likely to pick up more Virtual Console stuff now, though, since it won't be literally annoying to play anymore.
I don't think it all boils down to a generational gap. I'm 32 and I still think Zelda and Metroid are bordering on unplayable. I never had the patience to finish them as a kid, and that hasn't changed now. They're both fun games and have solid gameplay, but the nonlinearity and complete lack of direction combined with no automap make both just too much of a chore to play unassisted.stabwound said:Wow - this thread is a a good example of the generation gap amongst gamers.
