Wow, that's hilariously sad. (The messages, not you actually pulling that off, you utter nutter!) It's not like you even get anything in-game for it. Geez. Seems quite timely, I played through this for the first time not long ago. Here's what I thought of it.

I gave the new characters a quick bash, but it's still Pokken. Fun with a friend, but pretty damn repetitive in Single Player.

This guy knows where it's at. I just hope that game gets a little shout-out. Costume seems like the best hope. Hyrule Warriors has some amazing and weird costumes in there. Warning: Pictures.

Start with that one, it's the shortest and easiest of the lot, an incredibly solid game. And make sure you find the secret boss after you see the credits. Definitely one of Mario's weirdest moments.

Final Fantasy 6, I've been itching to play through it again, but I've been holding it off ever since the game list got revealed. I'll probably attempt Secret of Mana for the fourth bloody time. All three times have involved me running into a different Game-Ending bug and my save file going ka-put. Then I'll play through some quick SNES games like Mario World, Kirby Super Star and Super Metroid. I suppose I'll have to play Starwing just to unlock Starfox 2. But I don't like Starwing, so I don't think Starfox 2 is going to be one I play a lot. I'll try it just for the sheer historic value. I've never played Mega Man X and I've heard loads of praise for it on the Gaming Diary Thread, so looking forward to that. Also, have never played Contra III, but will probably play that on @Dcubed's SNES Mini with him. The WiiWare one was surprisingly fun, especially in co-op. Let's attack aggressively! Seeing as we're listing games we're planning on trying first, how about we also flip it around? What games are you absolutely sure you're not going to play? For me it's... Super Mario Kart (Later Mario Karts have ruined the awkward controls, plus single player is boring and frustrating) F-Zero (My least favourite F-Zero game, and I don't even like F-Zero that much) Super Ghouls N' Ghosts, (Yeaaaahhhh, no. Not touching that with a barge pole, I'd like to not spend the rest of my life finishing that game... twice. Would have preferred Demon's Crest, way better.) Street Fighter II Turbo (Just not huge on Street Fighter, I'd rather play Smash as Ryu) Super Punch-Out!! (I appreciate the game, but it's not as fun as the original or the amazing Wii version)

Bet you didn't expect this thread to get bumped, and by me no less! But there's an update coming soon! Details nicked shamelessly from GAF. Daisy becomes playable when you rescue her. And finally, when this update hits, there'll be a 50% sale for 2 weeks. Anyway, that's me done here now. Byeee!

So, the Top 10 Ninty games thread has made me notice that spoilers don't stay spoilered when you try to quote someone. Could just be me, but it happens on every device I've tried.

That second list is solid, @Pestneb. Can't really fault it. That said, Explorers of Sky. A lot of people make that mistake.

It might be easier on your eyes to have the slider up only partway through. Not everyone is comfortable with full whack 3D. I know I'm not, and the 3D is strong in this particular game. Looks great though.

Just wondering, did you have the 3D Slider up to max?

Next batch of DLC is out. A 5 star quest and a Gold level Tournament based around MonHun Generations. The Gold Tournament says you get an Armour set, but I ended up getting a Glavenus Great Sword instead... Guess not even this game is safe from Capcpom.

Shesez, the guy who does awesome series Boundary Break, has started a new series called "Sequence Beak". As the name suggests, it explores interesting things that can happen when you use modding to skip certain things in games. Stuff like this always interests me, so it's right up my alley. He started with Breath of the Wild. Because everyone won't shut up about it. I particularly like the Master Sword Shenanigans. Also, obvious spoilers ahead.

If the method in that video isn't "trade hatched starters with your god damn friends like you're supposed to", they missed a golden opportunity to be funny. Yeah, I know it's talking about a glitch, but still. At least with this, people can correct their horrible, horrible mistake and go with Totodile instead.

Well, I learned something from that Super Metroid GIF. Bloody hell! Those first and last pictures compliment each other so well.

Disgusting. Absolutely foul. As the Jimquisition vid posted above shows, a lot of Steam Reviews are calling them out on this scummy practice. One can dream that it makes some difference...

Look how shocked I am! Seriously, if you willingly buy this, you have no right to complain when Crystal inevitably releases.

So I just found all 100 Poogies, had to look up a guide or the last 10-ish. The game's too big.

Nope, I like to know what games are at a glance. You can't assume everyone knows what a game is from some vague icon.

Righto, here's the current League table. A welcome back to regular host @BowserBasher, who came in swinging. Smashing his way to 4th place. And another welcome back to @Vileplume2000. Still early days, averages are prone to fluctuate when you join, so don't give up yet. And a big hello to lapsed N-E Leaguer @viceview51. A very solid showing there, let's see if you can keep it up. With mostly everyone's averages going up last week, it was inevitable that averages would go down this week. And with 3 new entries joining the League, it's shaken up most of the board. Of note, is @Dcubed and @S.C.G, who somehow have exactly the same amount of points! Wow! Doesn't get much closer than that! Dcubed is on top because of his 1st and 2nd placings so far. Next week, we'll be having more user-picked GP's to commendate @Sméagol's absence. His GP will be there along with newcomers Vileplume2000 and viceview51. Check your private messages. And the rest of you should as well, just in case one of them can't make it next week, you might be asked to take their place. I'll put the theme up when I get the three GP's together.

Baby Park Frantic might as well be a dice roll really. And that's hilarious! GP1 GP2 GP3 Definitely an interesting night, I think I'm on to a winner with Mushrooms Only, will have to use that in the future. Finish with some housekeeping. @martinist The total for your GP1 is 17. After the league recalculation, this makes the points you scored 26. Because of your disconnection, you can choose whether to keep that score or discount it. Let me know ASAP. @S.C.G The total for your GP3 is 13. After recalculation, this becomes 20. Let me know if you want to keep it. The next theme and league table will be up when I'm damn well ready.

Remember, make sure to choose the correct tracks! I mean it!

If Mario Kart counts as seperate genre, than PMD totally counts as well.

I wouldn't say "hatred", per se. More like, intolerarant of utter incorrectness. Besides, I do not overreact. NOT ONE BIT! Anyway, maybe you'll find out what the correct mainline game is if you read my list.

Using Metroid to declare the 3DS dead is using the wrong franchise. Metroid pretty much never sells well. Let's wait until Pokemon, eh? I'm looking at Monster Hunter Stories, and that game proves the 3DS can still do gorgeous looking games.

That's fine, I was kinda wanting to repeat this theme with other people choosing anyway. You've given me a great excuse. That said, we need a replacement GP, which gives me a golden opportunity to test a idea I didn't want to put on a whole 3 GP's. So here's the updated League Night. Next League Night: 21st September Group 1 @BowserBasher is host (Friend Code is 8313-9234-5620) @Glen-i @BowserBasher @martinist @punio75 @Dcubed @S.C.G Other Players @Nicktendo @viceview51 Mushrooms Only is precisely that, Mushrooms Only. I chose the tracks that have the most opportunities for you to use those mushrooms for all sorts of corner cutting and shortcuts. The most interesting thing is that coins still show up in this setting, so the closer you are to 1st place, the less likely you are to get those mushrooms. Which has the potential to make this the most balanced setup ever... or the most rubberbandyest GP ever. Which is perfect for "That Damn Rubberbanding" really, so why not? And one more thing, normally I turn a blind eye to accidental choosing of the wrong track, but considering the whole point of this night is to play exactly how the people choosing tonight's tracks want to play, I have to be very strict. If you choose the wrong track and it gets picked, you WILL be penalised for that GP. I can't stress that enough, have the schedule to hand! Still time to sign up!
