    Is that Isabelle in a Varia Suit? Well done, Serebii. You've officially driven S.C.G mad and made me confused and annoyed!
  2. Wii U and 3DS Gaming Bargains

    Only works on Smash Bros.
  3. Sign me up for all three. I'm not too fussed about timeslots. I'm flexible!
  4. Wii U General Discussion

    That explains a lot. You should give it a go when it inevitably comes out on WiiU eShop. It's a fine game.
  5. Wii U General Discussion

    I always found NSMB Wii more challenging... and more interesting... and more fun.
  6. Wii U General Discussion

    Well, it's official. My mum is better at 2D Mario games than you, and she can't get her head around the concept of holding Y to run. Don't feel too bad though, because she's set the highest score on both of my Tetris games (GB and 3DS) and I can't ever beat them... I suck at Tetris... I believe if you go to the home menu and touch controller settings, there's an option to turn off the Gamepad screen at least. I can't remember if it stays off if you use the Pro controller though... Because I use the Gamepad for almost all of my games, including Smash!
  7. Mario Tennis: Ultra Smash (20th Nov)

    Oh man, that's damning. A Mario Tennis game you don't even want anymore! I never thought I'd see the day.
  8. Super Smash Bros. 3DS / Wii U

    Absolutely agreed on that front. Looking back, it was quite amazing it took until Brawl for Diddy to show up. Don't get me wrong, I'd be doing my happy dance if K.Rool magically makes it in, but he's not getting in through this ballot. It's purely up to Sakurai. And as most people have realised with Cloud, there are no "rules". Well, OK, there is one rule. Sakurai has to want to do it. He's an absolutely fantastic madman and I love that. You do it Sakurai's way or you don't do it at all. As Namco found out...
  9. Super Smash Bros. 3DS / Wii U

    Hmmm... I'm not so sure. K.Rool hasn't really been relevant for a long time. (Wasn't his last appearance that Mario Baseball game?) Only the hardcore DK fans would vote for him. And I doubt there are that many compared to other fans. Pokemon fans alone would completely dwarf DK's crew. And I don't even need to point out the Mii costume not looking good for him. I still voted Dillon. No regrets!
  10. Super Smash Bros. 3DS / Wii U

    Hmmm... I don't know about that, I'd say they both have around the same amount of Single Player stuff to do. But WiiU has the added advantage of co-op for some of those modes. Of course, Brawl still has the best single player content. I tend to keep trying to beat my high scores in a lot of modes. Especially Crazy Orders. Crazy Orders is super fun! I've beaten all the challenges, but I still keep playing single player!
  11. Nintendo Badge Arcade (eShop)

    Ah, but I am dismally bad at crane grabbers. Just getting one is terrifying. Remember the first one where you get 5 free goes to get some Mario Sprite badges? I got a grand total of 1.
  12. Nintendo Badge Arcade (eShop)

    Can't say I have had this issue, then again. I never turn my 3DS off. Just had a browse through the Pokemon badges, see if there's any I'd want.... Some expected badges like Charizard, Greninja and Groudon, and some slightly expected ones like Heliolisk and Scrafty that might force me to pay up, still gonna try my best to cheese them out with free plays, of course. But if time gets tight, I might have no choice. And then I saw this. Damn! They know just how to get me, huh? More proof Ninty spies on me!
  13. Wii U VC

    If the amount of jaggies that this (Inevitably) gets on TV's bothers you, then you might just want to play the DS ones, seeing as you have them already.
  14. Nintendo Badge Arcade (eShop)

    Compelling points, but all three of us joined this site at one time. Though it's nice to see you see me as part of the N-Europe furniture already. Lucked out and managed to bag myself 3 free tries today, now I've got both of the Boo Badges, so I won't be spending any cash tomorrow! Totally messed up the third one going for the Yoshi Activity log icon, but oh well! Hey, @Ugh-First-Aid, any luck with the Rosalina one? That goes away Thursday.
  15. Pokemon Red, Blue & Yellow (3DS Virtual Console)

    Well, I played through Blue quite recently, so no way I'm getting that. I reckon @Dcubed's gonna get both Yellow and Red. Because he's mad. I'd probably get just Yellow, because I don't have as much disposable income as I'd like to have. And yes, it is amazing! Thanks! I don't know what I was saying.
  16. Nintendo Badge Arcade (eShop)

    Nah! Totally Power! You only have to look at the kind of Pokemon team I use to see that. And @Dcubed has to be courage seeing as he's the only one of us who actually dared to do the 1% Metroid Fusion run... Twice... Purely because Miiverse existed. In other words, this comic!
  17. Pokemon Red, Blue & Yellow (3DS Virtual Console)

    I thought you preferred Blastoise to Charizard anyway though? Oh wait, these are digital games, so box art doesn't matter anymore. Oh well, we'll just do what every family did before you could breed starters, use each others games and cheat our way to getting all three starters before even getting one badge! (Except for that one guy who gets Yellow, who won't really be helping at all. Due to there being Pokemon in that game that can't be caught without trading with Red and Blue.) Also, it's about damn time your account got in! I need help in my impossible quest of convincing @Serebii that the PMD series is actually quite good.
  18. Nintendo Badge Arcade (eShop)

    If it meant getting a third Dillon game, I'd happily pay to get the badges.
  19. Twilight Princess HD (4th March)

    I knew someone would pick up on that.
  20. Twilight Princess HD (4th March)

    Not much meaning? I thought the dude was mentioned about half way through the game. It was kinda cool. Knowing that something was behind the scenes, but you had no idea what this mysterious bloke looked like. Or am I misremembering? Oh, and I agree with @Hero\-of\-Time. Puppet Ganon obvs ain't Ganondorf. That's why IT'S A PUPPET!! Oh yeah, once @Dcubed told me about it, I had to give it another go. It looked badass as heck, shooting lightning around like that, but a little part of me preferred the ridiculous struggle I went through. So I kinda always do that final battle without the Skyward Strike.
  21. Twilight Princess HD (4th March)

    On my first playthrough, I never actually realised...
  22. Your 2015 Gaming Diary

    Recently, I finished the 6th of the purchasable Streetpass plaza games, and so I think I'll talk about the two newest ones that I completed this year. Streetpass Fishing and Streetpass Zombies The Streetpass Mii Plaza got a couple of new games a while back. And considering I enjoyed all four of the previous ones (Especially Mansion), I jumped right on these two! First I'll talk about Streetpass Zombies. In this game, your Mii arrives at Hobbiville, a place where Mii's indulge in their hobbies. It's facing a bit of a crisis though, because... Yeah, what she said. So naturally, it's up to you to help Dr. Scarlet find a cure. Yes, it's an excuse plot. But who cares? The gameplay revolves around the beat-em-up genre with you using a variety of weapons to fight all sorts of goofy looking zombies. There's 30 stages in total, ranging from simple "get to the end" stages to protecting an important building from waves of the undead. It's a decent length, considering the price. That's for sure. But fear not, you are not alone! This being a streetpass game, the people you pass in real life will provide you with the very weapons you need to be victorious! The cool thing about the weapons is that it's based on the actual hobby that person has set in their Mii settings. For example, the majority of people I passed put "Video Games" as their hobby, so when I pass those people, I get provided with a Wii Remote to fight with. Each weapon has various functions and attacks, so getting the right weapon for the situation can make a big difference. Oh, and every selectable hobby has a weapon, every single one. And some are very, uhhh... special. Including... Being a lazy sod! Wasting time on the internet! Studying simple arithmetic! And being the king of "Staying Alive"! It all gives a very comedic feel that helps make the game pretty memorable. It's not too challenging, with a healthy supply of Mii's, you shouldn't ever see the Game Over screen, and the high-score chasing and sub-missions should provide you with enough to do. So I'm gonna move on to Streetpass Fishing. This, as the title suggests, is a fishing game. Your Mii goes to the "Streetpass Isles" (Where do they come up with these genius names) to indulge in a spot of fishing. But on your first trip, your boat is attacked by an absolutely colossal fish and you accidentally drop all your bait into the sea. Bugger! Career ruined! BUT WAIT! Helpful tour guide, Coraline, has an idea for you to continue to fish. Mooch bait off of everyone else! So like the filthy hobo you secretly are, you hassle people for free bait, and then proceed to hunt down and fish up the 5 "Legendary Monsters" that roam the Streetpass Isles. The gameplay is pretty easy to guess. You choose an area, and fish. You use the touch screen to reel in fish. Simple enough. Each area has a challenge for you to complete, and clearing this challenge unlocks more areas, which have different fish. There's 160 different fish to catch, so this is definitely going to last a while. The bait you get comes in a variety of colours and certain fish like certain bait, so choosing the right area to match the Mii's you're with is paramount. It's also good to have a lot of Mii's at once as well, as they help you pull in the more larger fish. See that Yoshi hat? My Mii has that hat, he wears it all the time! It's much simpler than Streetpass Zombies, but I do prefer this game. (Shouldn't be surprising though, these guys did Streetpass Mansion) There's something really nice about just popping this on when I get Streetpasses and just landing a few fish. It's definitely a slow burn kind of game, as I only saw the credits a week ago, and I've still got over 50 fish to catch, but I'm still enjoying it. If you enjoy fishing games and have access to consistent Streetpasses, you should definitely give this a go, you won't be disappointed. Although for both games, if you don't get Streetpasses for whatever reason, your enjoyment is going to be severely diminished, but that goes without saying really. And with that...
  23. Twilight Princess HD (4th March)

    It definitely does remind me of Starfox Adventures final "twist appearence", but nowhere near as bad. That game's ending is so horrifically unsatisfying, it's kinda comical in it's own weird, deluded way.
  24. Nintendo Badge Arcade (eShop)

    Well, you know exactly how to fix that, don't you? Only 90p. Go on, just once. What's the harm? Splatoon ones don't interest me a bit. I dunno, the character design never really impressed me in that. ...OH CHRIST! What if they do Dillon's Rolling Western ones!? NOOOOOOOO!
  25. Twilight Princess HD (4th March)

    That's much nicer. Still not as good as the original though, because spoilers. I hope we get that one. And lol at the Wind Waker case, I didn't even know that existed! Good thing too! Because that fight was awesome! Still is.
