I'm about 6 hours into Xenoblade Chronicles 3D. It's really good so far, and a challenge. Thankfully, being wiped out doesn't go back to your last save!

DARK-KNIGHT · 12-04-2015 10:50am

Currently playing smash bros, Mario 3d, Mario u and Mario kart. My next purchases will be donkey Kong and Zelda games

Star Lord · 12-04-2015 12:01pm

Snap. Boxboy gets hard too (especially if you're going for the crowns).

I'm also about an hour into Affordable Space Adventures and I'm working through Windwaker HD...

Do. It does everything 3 did well better, and fixes a lot of the problems (quicker path to decent hunts, online without a ridiculous hw setup, kind of a plot, etc) and has some cool new features, like an infinite levelable mission generator of sorts in a randomized environment, street passing to share your favourite henchman and mission. It great.

chrislad · 13-04-2015 11:39am

I tried the demo and didn't like it, but I keep hearing good things. Once I finish Xenoblade, I may go for it.

Ol' Donie · 19-04-2015 2:30am

Mario Kart Wii. In anticipation of next weeks DLC.

I'm trying to love it, but it's just nowhere near as much fun as MK8.

Win most races...lose some...meh.

CiDeRmAn · 19-04-2015 8:26am

Feck, it's only a week away!
Gotta get some practice in!

Machismo Fan · 19-04-2015 12:32pm

You don't realise just how sharp and polished and beautiful looking Mario Kart 8 is until you go back and play the older ones.

CptMackey · 23-04-2015 7:21pm

Playing pokemon x . First one sense the old game boy. Really enjoying it so far

PedroBear · 23-04-2015 8:03pm

People say Nintendo are the Disney of the game industry but there's certainly nothing childish about the New Super Mario Bros series - I nearly broke the TV just now flinging a controller around. You'd want the patience of a saint to get through these ****king levels....

Well, there's been a number of games in the series, you have to be more specific,
NSMB on the DS
NSMB2 on the 3DS
NSMBWii on the Wii
NSMBU on the WiiU
LuigiU on the WiiU as well?
The WiiU games as tough as hell, while the 3DS game is a big coin rush.
The LuigiU game is rock hard though.
The WiiU game is not strictly tough just demanding in the same manner that SMB3 and SMW demand skill.

ThisRegard · 24-04-2015 10:14am

I reckon he means NSMBU on the WiiU, that can be pretty frustrating in comparison to 3D World which is a lot more forgiving.

You can substitute "The WiiU Game" with "Brain Surgery" , "Olympic-standard Archery", "Cheating the Devilfish at Poker" etc etc and the sentence is still just as patronising and unfair to those of us who don't possess the skills! It's tough. So there.

Luigi U, now that is the equivalent of performing brain surgery with an Olympic standard bow and arrow.
But the regular NSMBU game isn't a walk over, though the original certainly was on the DS.

Bought Black Ops II the other week and started getting into it this week.
Looks good.

Let me know when you're online and I'll join you for an aul shootout.

Banjo · 30-04-2015 10:02am

Gave Mariokart a run out last night - haven't really played it properly, it's been more of a sit-down-with-the-kids thing (ie 50cc and no gloating

) but I'm dying to see 200CC on Baby Park.

Every 150cc GP is the same, blue shelled on the last lap of the 3rd or 4th race then 2-5 red shells up the arse before I can get moving again, knocking me out of title contention. I ****ing hate that game. Which is why I'm going back for more tonight.

Banjo · 06-05-2015 11:04am

Played my first game of Mariokart online. Why did it take me so long?
Got me thinking though - Considering there's no voice-chat in random Mariokart matchups, (or there is and I had the sound turned down) there's quite a lot of scope for being a smug pr**k towards your fellow players - I opened with "Go Easy on Me" before the first race, which I promptly won by a mile in a very dishonourable fashion, followed by copious amounts of "Hooray" and "That was fun"s, safe in the knowledge that there's no chat option for "**** you!". Removing voice chat from a title like Splatoon will stop people from communicating constructively but won't stop the ***holes. We always find a way

gubbie · 14-05-2015 10:03pm

I've started playing Professor Layton vs Phoenix Wright. Brilliant!

I almost wet myself laughing when

they're in the bakery and Wright slams down on the table making the flour go flying

. It's also surprisingly dark, like

when they burn the witches! I suppose you don't see anything though

Ol' Donie · 17-05-2015 1:48am

I knew something was wrong. I loved MK8 too much. Something didn't make sense.

Now I know.

200cc.

Jesus, 200cc.

First, eight, fourth, second (on the line).

Graaagh! Cutesy, this is not.

Is it as bad/good as F-Zero? Granted, F-Zero has a health bar (satanic), but is the speed similar?

Can't really answer that, apart from to say that I also suck at F Zero.
