Ah, fair enough.

No interest in Kirby and the Rainbow Curse or Majora's  Mask 3D?

Bought Majora's Mask and beat it in 37 hours (got the fierce deity mask). First time playing it and loved it.

Not interested in Kirby though, plus I live in Europe.

What about games you may have missed?

For instance, on Wii U, have you played The Swapper, Art of Balance, Sonic & All Stars Racing Transformed, ZombiU, Rayman Legends, Need for Speed Most Wanted U?

Would an SDHC card work for the New 3DS?


Yes, it should work but Nintendo did announce which cards work if you want to be 100% safe:

[3DS] Winter Playtimes [Wii U]

To further elaborate on this, we would like to share with you the unedited feelings of one ex-employee who wishes to remain nameless.

"Over time I became amazed at the sense of paranoia that permeated everything at Retro. There were security cameras mounted every twenty feet in our halls, and it was common knowledge that they were for keeping track of the employees rather than protecting against anyone breaking in. Apparently the network administrator had to provide a daily sheet detailing the Internet use of every employee." Our source continues, "We were micromanaged on little things like how long we took for lunch. Retro had made a big point of hiring seasoned industry veterans to work there, but there was a major drawback to that: they had a company full of people who knew they could get better jobs elsewhere, and they often did. The common line was that employees were 'not staying at Retro in droves'. It was not uncommon to have new employees leave two or three weeks after starting. It honestly felt a little like living in a communist block country: you kind of didn't know who to trust, who would rat on you, that sort of thing."

The story only gets more interesting, as our source recalls, "They had also hired quite a few egos - we had several guys who could not abide competition and would torpedo any potential employee who they thought might upstage them, at least until the rest of us pointed out that trend and the head of the art department stopped consulting them. The feeling of the place was secretive and paranoid - not at all good for creative output. The work areas were almost all in a walled-off, black painted interior part of the building where no natural light could reach. All-in-all not a pleasant place to spend your time." He continues, "And there were indeed issues with the higher-ups, including people who used company computer hardware to run porn websites out of their home and others who embezzled hundreds of thousands from the company and fled the country. It's no wonder that Nintendo was able to purchase Retro for the ridiculous price of one million - I'm amazed they wanted it at all. I guess at that point they were in so far they needed to get something out of it."

I'll give it a shot in the future (a bit Zelda'd out for now).

Is it easy? Cause I want an easy game after having played Metroid Fusion, MP1 and 2 and MM 3D this month. :p


We talking Minish Cap, Wario Land or Metroid Zero Mission?

Because I think all three are pretty easy. Minish Cap has some dang good combat though. Because of the roll. 

Minish cap was the first one with hidden skills/sword skills right? I played it a while back and I enjoyed that aspect of it.


Yeah, they had some really good skills, it got to the point where if you were skilled enough you could take down 3 dark nuts in 10 seconds.

Minish Cap. Not too worried about Zero Mission's difficulty after Fusion. :p


I don't know really. It's all subjective. I think it's easy.

Damn lol.

To be fair, that was way back in like 2000, before Metroid Prime was even released.

But yeah, I've read that article before, and it is indeed very interesting. And a freaking miracle that Prime turned out as great as it did with such a troubled production.

Really interesting RPG... Dare I say a bit Earthbound like indie game.

Also, i love this screenshot from kirby.

 

 

You might not know how happy you have made me. Playing EarthBound makes me crave another colorful, vibrant world game with interesting characters! Thanks for the post! Much appreciated!

Kirby is PISSED that he can't eat his apple.

Speaking of Kirby! I played the first two levels of TRC, and I'm enjoying it so far! Finding all the collectables is very satisfying and the level design is clever. Of course, the art style is gorgeous, even when looking at the gamepad and the music is very catchy. I'll probably delve into challenge mode once I finish the regular story.
