    I dunno lads, it's a massive come down from SM3DW and Rayman. I remember enjoying NSMB on the DS. This just grated with me. Some levels were really badly designed. Too many dark levels for a Mario title. Just kinda dull and repetitive. And Christ the boss levels have to be the worst in years. I get it's "old skool", but come on, a tad more imagination please.

    Just felt like a very lazy generic Mario churn out platformer.

    I seem to be one of the few that actually really liked this. I honestly thought it was the best in the NSMB series.

    You're not. It is the best of the NSMB series.

    It's a shame you didn't enjoy it, have you tried DKCR Tropical Freeze?

    I just downloaded the demo and gave it a spin. Surprisingly enjoyable! The controls were easier to manage than I expected, when it all comes together, it actually works quite well.

    The controls are no more complex than pre 360/PS3 days, when every title seemed to come equipped with its own idiosyncratic control system, Jumping Flash and Metroid Prime for example.
    All Starfox Zero needs is for the player to put in some practice and the title is just fine.
    Polygon should be ashamed of themselves for their juvenile attention seeking non review.

    Finally got around to finishing Ghost Recon Shadow Wars on the 3DS. Loved every minute of it.

    It is the game that got me into tactical RPGs and it's a great place to start for those wondering about the genre.

    The controls and upgrade system are simple and easy to understand, while the game rewards strategic thinking especially on the highest difficulty setting where one bold move too many could mean the end of a mission.

    Unlike XCOM, if one of your party members die the mission is over. You can however save the game at any point which is handy since a few of the later missions took me 2 hours to complete!

    It took me 50 hours in total to complete on the highest difficulty which isn't bad for a game that cost me €7 second hand. :)

    Finally started Shin megami tensei iv last night, I like it! Got it on sale at the start of the summer on the eshop, think it was €10 at the time.

    Is part 2 getting a physical release in Europe?

    Is it like the last one where you have to beat it around 300 times to milk every last bonus pokéball out of it?

    No digital again unfortunately AFAIK and it'll be Christmas I think it's out.
    Glad you're enjoying it :) if you ever get stuck you can ask me about it, if you're wary of walk-throughs and spoilers or you don't understand it.

    Thanks Touch, so far so good, but I can see I'll get to some bits I'd be lost in.

    Debuffing usually with most bosses to make them easier if it catches you out. I found the map a pain in the arse

    readyletsgo I think I'm actually wrong in my last post, I saw a pre order on Amazon from Deep Silver (they're publishing for Atlas in the EU)

    Welp my gamecube memory card decided to give up the ghost when i was going to give eternal darkness a bash, so i decided to give dragonquest on the 3ds a go. Never played any of the series before but im enjoying the exploration. Haven't had any battles yet i presume they come a little later. Cant help but be reminded of pokemon blue sfx of going down stairs when doing the same in dq , its the same noise :D

    Got back into Batman: Arkham City Armored Edition last weekend. It's terrible when you leave a game for a while(over 2 months) and you forget where you are, some of the story and all the controls.

    Working my way through Tropical Freeze, it's great! Thanks for the tips guys. Massive improvement on NSMBU and not far off Rayman.

    Is it worth getting all the puzzle and kong pieces? Don't think I'll bother.

    Finally spending quality time with Wooly World and it's a cracking game.
    Looks gorgeous, plays like a classic Nintendo platformer, the type that simply no one can make better, well, maybe Yacht Club can...
    My hope is to work through the WiiU collection so when the Switch rolls around I'll have a respectable dent made in its predecessors library.
    So, I have about 4 months!

    Pokemon fever setting in.
    Picked up my copy of Y which got reset. I think it's the first Pokémon game I've never done a Nuzlocke run on, 'cause I don't recognise anything. Grinding in the obligatory forest ahead of the first gym, and boasting to my daughter about all the Pikachus I'm catching. When Moon arrives in the post I'm going to make her life miserable :)

    I successfully sold my town in AC:NL, so going through that again, have my 2 favourites in my town thanks to Amiibo cards, I think I'll ignore everyone else and try get in Celeste too lol.

    I want to order Pokemon but I'm still stuck on which version, I wanted Sun because I thought my friends would get Moon but Moon has that cool U1 Beauty Pokemon whatever it's called, it's so cool.

    What did you do wrong? I can say what I did, I actually should have posted it here too but I'm all over the place this week.
    What I did was - got the secret storage update, paid off my debt, made sure the time and date matched with my 3DS, saved and went back to the menu because it works from the last save.
    Edit: I forgot I met wisp too.
    I can give you some bells and stuff to set up again if you like? It must be such a bummer. That's why I even bought my favourite characters amiibo cards I thought I'd do that.
