Boxlife = GREAT.

Now I'm tempted to go on a WiiWare + DSiWare spending spree, of recent months:

Mario vs DK...
Mighty Flip Champ...

Swords & Soldiers...

Anything else of real importance?

Serious Sam is a wicked gahbidge series for chowdaheads.
Something is wrong with Boxlife for me. It keeps making me cut out paper penises and crucifixes. I'm so confused.

I went to sleep last night mentally folding boxes, trying to remember how one particularly strange shape went. I was so proud of myself yesterday for "discovering" a shape that hadn't been introduced yet, and then I got into the higher ranks and was pretty much "oh wow, I can't believe that folds!"

And this game is torturing me. I want to get perfect scores in R&D but starting at rank 7 I'm just a little too slow on one of the puzzles... so I end up anywhere between 90 and 98. And then it mixes them up a little so of course I can't just go by rote :D

I've never wanted to be a perfect little industrial cog so much in my life.

Nope, you're the only person at a gaming message board that wants one of the most well-liked games of a series that's wildly popular among gamers.

What a silly question.

He probably won't read this because he's off to play Super Castlevania IV.

Altavista via Opera gave me "It's too possible Tingle pack". I understand this like a Tingle party game refering to his quest for a woman!

I'd really like to play Sonic or Castlevania or anthing other than puzzle games.

Hmm I don't really know. The genre for the game is something along the line of "To be helpful gadgets".:lol

I hate fake games too. Just when you think you're playing them you're not.

Edit:I suppose I shouldn't have really said "think", I'm not using translation software.

Yeah I was sure I was playing PicoPict and HacoLife the other day, but maybe I wasn't.

Any impressions on Dragon Quest Wars yet? I was planning on picking it up but I don't think I have time to head over to the local wifi hotspot tonight.

Boxlife is great and a must buy for puzzle game fans. Definitely the best DSi game by a large margin and I'd say it's one of the better recent puzzle games. Off the top of my head I'd only put Rittai Picross ahead of it, and nothing on the iPhone even comes close.

So far, it's really slow paced as you have to watch all the monster animations. However, the strategy does seem to be very complex. I've only played a bit so far though.

Someone from Infogrames / Atari has to be lurking on GAF.

Please suggest releasing old Atari console titles on Virtual Console... there are a FEW unique, console-only releases that would be interesting to replay.

As long as we're at it... hey, Midway employees: could you suggest to your higher-ups that some classic Atari, Midway, and Williams titles make their way to the Virtual Console Arcade? I mean, it's not like Midway is awash with success at the moment, and VCA represents a somewhat easy way to rake in some extra dough. Heck, you could just pull out the Midway's Arcade Treasures disks and split the titles out individually... I'd rather have a new emulation job, but, well, you're Midway.

Well, if there's any way, you wouldn't see HUELEN10 goes nuts like this :lol Sadly no.

I got me a DSi yesterday. Bought Mario vs DK, Mighty Flip Champs, PictoBits and Boxlife. I love them. Fucking Boxlife is unbelievable. So awesome. So goddamn awesome. And PictoBits is sent from heaven to 8-bit nerds like me :D

Recommend me some others, gaffers. Currently I'm in love with both the DSiWare and WiiWare games so throw 'em all at me.

Right, as my Wii is currently being repaired by Nintendo and will hopefully arrive back here in perpetual working order, I reckon this time around is when I'll delve in VC/WiiWare.

That said, what is the "best" in general SD card to grab off Amazon? I know 32GB is the ceiling...but somehow I doubt I'd fill that up completely by far. So...maybe a great one around 8-10GB or some such? The plan was to grab one of these and a 4GB PSP Duo thingie in one nice order so that by the time my Wii arrives back and the PSP 3000 I'll order soon arrives both machines will be duly equipped.

Boxlife is really really good but also quite difficult. There's definitely a learning curve. After playing three of the R&D levels I thought I'd give the factory a try and whoaaaaah I got destroyed real fast. The wide openness of it was super daunting and then all of a sudden these bombs start showing up and AHHH STRESS!

After a bit more time in the R&D I figured out a bit more and upon return to the factory I actually made $94! Huzzah.

This game definitely has a "Tetris effect" to it as well. I was definitely seeing boxes in my sleep for a bit after I played the game.

Sim Earth is a really neat game. Very slow, but very deep and a game made for a different time.

I've played this game on the SFC from the (superior) FCI port ages ago. What ultimately made the SFC version superior (based on memory) was the superior soundtrack, and overall better scrolling speeds, faster movement between the screens, and its not bloated with the terrible voice narration in the TG-16 VC download.

That said, the two games are essentially identical and Aquarium mode is fun. On my planet, it is the avians who evolved into intelligent civilizations.

Currently my civilizations are on Iron Age.

I'd feel ripped off paying more than one dollar for a downloadable Atari game.

Don't get me wrong I love Atari.

I could see a $2-$3 range. Perhaps closer to $3 would be the only sane way to do it... but, well...

What would be some 2600, 5200, 7800, and XEGS titles?

I just want Star Raiders (yes, I know, Atari 8-bit computer, but it WAS rereleased for the XEGS!)

If the lone VC game each week was an Atari 2600 game I would set a box of kittens on fire. Actually maybe I'll just get an empty box and write "kittens" on it and then set it on fire.

Nevermind.

I dug out my NES yesterday and played some Kirby's Adventure. The difference between the original and VC is huge.

When I first played the VC version I felt something was wrong, but numerous posts about how faithful most games where to the originals made me think I might be mistaken.

However, by comparison, the VC game is full of slowdowns that aren't in the original. I was very surprised of how well the original game ran, with barely little to none slowdowns.

This is the PAL game compared to the (I assume) PAL game on VC. Is there anyone here who can tell if the NTSC VC version have the same problem?

Get whatever card is currently going cheaply. I have a 2 GB non-HC which is still not even approaching half-full, and I've got nearly three pages of VC/WiiWare on it plus backups of all my saves.
