It's limited over the console version, I'm sure, I was speaking specifically about animation and color palette. (In terms of being a good port.)
I've had issues with blind jumps and death.

Well, that would instantly make it harder.
The DS does not go to sleep mode when the wireless connection is active, at least I have never seen an application that does.

Shin'en announced Fun! Fun! Minigolf TOUCH! coming soon for Nintendo eShop (Nintendo 3DS)

Games had (probably still have, on 3DS) control over what they could do in "sleep mode"; they could suspend everything or keep some things going while turning others off. Examples included Band Brothers' music player mode, which would keep playing music through the headphone jack while the system was closed, and Animal Crossing, whichif you were online with friendswould continue to allow your friends to play in your town while you stood where you were last standing, nodding off.

Looks fun. I'd much rather give Shin'en my money than Gameloft.

Echo that, though to be fair, they look like pretty different games. Starting to notice Shin'en games have a very distinct look as of late. Their games have always looked great, but there's a shiny sheen in their last few games that looks...well, Shin'enish.

Keep playing! It is really not that hard once you get the hang of it. As a kid it was impossible for me (not understanding english was part of it), but since then I beat it twice with no big problems. Savestates on the 3DS make it even easier.
But it's an awesome game!

Wow, Mii heads look odd on tall, detailed bodies. But yeah, this looks a lot better than Let's Golf.

I noticed Shin'en use a lot of Mario Galaxy-style rim lighting. It does make everything look extra shiny. Even Art Of Balance has it.

Yeah, and it's not on the list in the first post either. Unfortunately just like the first Fossil Fighters demo it's fossil cleaning only, but at least it has a few different fossils.
Yeah, it's a challenging game, but not impossible. It isn't Ghosts n Goblins-hard.:Motorbass said:
I never got past Band Land, myself... I got it for the PC back around 2000, after getting and loving Rayman 2, and it was just so hard that I eventually gave up, despite the indeed great graphics. The limited lives and continues sure didn't help either...Colonel Mustard said:
I think I've heard that the PC (DOS) version might have less of a viewing area than the console versions (Jaguar/PSX/Saturn), though? I'm not sure, haven't played the console versions much.
This was disappointing. I was mildly interested in both games, but having a demo without even a battle to try out doesn't do anything toward making me want the games more.

Wii trivia: the first game on the platform to use rim lighting to a good effect was not SMG.

I agree, I'd like to know what the combat is like too, and both demos definitely are pretty subpar.
A lot of those DS demos are really short, but most of the others at least give you some sense of the gameplay, and not just one part of it...

We're still getting them in December.
(Perhaps December 2012... but that still counts as December).
Was the trailer to 3D Classics: Kid Icarus posted yet? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Zs5sSEoEyp4
The new backgrounds look cool!

We're not. The Ambassador program was cancelled. There was a huge thread and everything. Weird that you missed it.

That's crazy. It looks like the redid a lot of the sprites as well.
Crazy, looks pretty different with actual backgrounds. Looks nice, I like some of the recoloring like on the Pit sprite.

They would have to, since many sprites assumed the background would be black. If they didn't modify the sprites, Pit would have gray/red eyes as he stood in front of parts of the background, etc.
This was a common trick on the NES, make the background black and then leave parts of your sprite transparent to use black as a fourth color. Final Fantasy battles, big Mega Man bosses, etc.

Dewey's Adventure? It was also one of the first Wii games to use normal mapping iirc.

I have 5500 Wii points. Think now is a good time to finally spend them? Any releases with potential coming? No chance cost of games is lowered?
What I have gathered are the best. What else should I consider or get instead of these?
Art of Balance - 800
Cave Story - 1200
And Yet It Moves - 1000
Fluidity - 1200
Super Mario RPG - 800
The VC games should be ones that have a cost much higher if you want a physical copy.

You'd be better off with Paper Mario instead of Super Mario RPG.
I was hoping that was fake. Don't like the new backgrounds at all.
I was all set on buying this, but now I'm more inclined to wait for a VC release.

Is it free in the US? The European "free" deal was insulting and excluded people who bought games when they, you know, came out.
Kind of wondering if the US is going to get this deal... I just bought Nintendogs during an Amazon lightning deal and I'll be picking up Mario Kart, so I'd sure like to get Kid Icarus free for registering them. I guess I'll hold off on registering them for a few days just in case.

Don't. Controls are horrible.

That explains why some of us on this forum have 30+h in the game, I guess - we were all trench-fighting the controls.
Controls are fine, but the slippery physics may not be one's cup of tea. I rather liked it, though.
Heh, I don't think I ever counted. Seemed like I was playing it a lot, though.blu said:
I already have platinum for the year, but I still don't want to wait on registering Mario Kart and miss out on the extra coins for early registration.
