I know we were all really excited about Hotel Transylvania for the 3DS (Except for Spurg), so this might come as a disappointment.

TL;DR 3/10 due to brevity, clunkiness, and repetition

Well, not really surprising, the only time a movie based game was even worth watching was GoldenEye 007.

...

Mmm, seems I'm in N64 mode today (two posts in a row praising it).

I cannot remember. Didn't Pilot Wings 64 for launch day one? If not then at least in the launch window. That, Mario, and Star Wars Shadows of the Empire were Boss! I still wanna get at least one percent off that Star Destroy in the end....

Yes, PilotWings 64 and Super Mario 64 were the day 1 launch games, Star Wars Shadows of the Empire and a couple others came very soon after though. Played that game a lot! Like you, I tried to damage the Star Destroyer every single time! And I didn't give up quickly, hours wasted on that. Never got that single % off, biggest troll in a game ever.

I am not sure. I think I found someone who did it a while back when I made a thread about impossible goals in games. I played Pilot Wings, Mario, and Star Wars for 100's of hours if not thousands! For some reason games on the N64 did that to me. OoT, Goldeneye, Banjo, Diddy Kong Racing, Mario Kart. I played all of those for many hours over the time that it took to beat the game. Looking for all the extras. Or just beating my times. Great, Great system!

Yes, good times, good times. I know exactly what you're talking about. It's always great to see another that holds the system to such high esteem.

It was so awesome, I had three N64's; on at home, one at my father's (divorced parents) and one at my grandmother's. My aunt and cousins also had an N64. I could literally play it everywhere! With everyone! The only other console I've had multiple times (not counting different GameBoy versions) was the Dreamcast, one for the living room, one in the attic .

Except the second Dreamcast, I still have 'em all. Recently brought them all home and dug up the controllers, so none of 'em are plugged in. But that's soon to change once I make room under the tv!



Well I'm going to support the wii two more times, maybe three, for Mario galaxy 2, xenoblade, and the Last story, but those are pretty well known games. All the wii u action this past month finally pushed me to dig out the old wii and beat a few games, so now I need some more before November.



On supporting not well known games..

I got Endless Ocean: Blue World, Sin & Punishment 2, and Excitebots new from Amazon for under 40 dollars for all 3 (including shipping).

All three were Nintendo published so I got some decent amount of Club Nintendo coins for the little money I spent.

What did you thank of excitebots Seth? I was really surprised! It was the first game I bought and a lot of fun. Really fast and crazy!

Haven't had a chance to try it out yet.  I'll try it out tonight and let you know tomorrow.  I tried to get my roommate to play Endless Ocean thinking it would be easy enough for her to get but she didn't quite get the controls down.  I grew frustrated probably a little too soon but it just pisses me off that I don't have a gamer girl.   The only games that I've been able to get her to play are Wii Sports Bowling and Wii Party.



Murumasa is on my list of game I've yet to obtain!

Got that cheap on Amazon a few weeks back.  Apparently, I orded too many Wii games (because I have yet to play some) but they were all awesome prices.  They pretty much averaged out 10 dollars each new.  Murumasa is 11.25 new on Amazon right now.

I was looking at the eshop on the 3DS today and saw Denpa Men. Looks like it might be pretty fun. I was wondering if anyone played the demo. I might just have to get the game. Supposedly someone commented on Nintendolife that one of the programmers worked on a previous DQ game. There aren't any reviews out for it that I see but I suppose I will have to check the demo out myself.  I found the Nintendolife review finally.  For some reason I didn't see it at first but they gave it 9/10.  I might have to bite on the game.

I was going to try and send D21 and Smeags a gift through the eshop but Nintendo doesn't support gift giving on the 3DS yet... Ah well...

Yep, really fast and crazy about sums it up.  I just played a few courses (busted out my Wii Wheel which I hardly used for MK).  Game is pretty fun and I am happy with my purchase.
