Fling the gates open and let me in.

Eat. Run. Survive. Just grabbed the above screenshot. Free Mappy DLC incoming. Comes from this where they play an advert at 1:50:20 for Pac-Man 99 followed by the news of the Mappy DLC right after at 1:53:00.

Oh... no...? 😈 Just found and compared with this list. Here're the tunes I'm lacking (much fewer than I expected): K.K. Chorale K.K. Country K.K. Dixie K.K. Mambo K.K. Rockabilly K.K. Sonata K.K. Tango K.K. Waltz Señor K.K. Soulful K.K. Stale Cupcakes Wild World Don't forget to get on on Sunday evenings during August for fireworks, Redd's Raffle and to see Isabelle outside the town hall for the first time in a long time!

DS + touchscreen is Etrian Odyssey. If anyone ever wants to have a yarn about that series I'm available. ...is that tumbleweed in my PMs? Would be cool to see some reflections on these games this year. 👍

There's the trailer and there's already a demo of PICROSS S MEGA DRIVE & Master System edition if you wanna try it: https://www.nintendo.co.uk/Games/Nintendo-Switch-download-software/PICROSS-S-MEGA-DRIVE-Master-System-edition-2017296.html

I suppose you didn't see my other post, Rosa? Even if you show up on the beach like Marin, I'm still not interested. Sorry (not sorry). No, I don't want to dance, Rosa. This can't keep happening. You're a creepy Subrosian. This could never work. Despite Rosa trying to turn my head, the land of Ages has been saved! Started the game with 4 hearts. Lost my shield to a Like Like on the final approach but didn't back out to get a replacement. Got the Hero's Secret for my trouble. Great? A smattering of overall thoughts with no real quest or puzzle specific spoilers: Ages has a Pokémon style rival! He's supposed to be a goodie but comes off as annoying and is always one step ahead, commenting on how he's going to save Nayru first. You cannot attack Veran when Nayru is possessed, but if Ralph the rival had been possessed I'd have had no qualms about laying into him in the name of getting after Veran. Later when there's a chance for Ralph to heroically not make it back to the present I'm all for it. Really cool and well-done 2D representation of Goron's and Zora. Happy Mask Salesman! Nice use of doing stuff in the past to affect the present. Like there being an area called Dry Falls in the present which is a waterfall in the past, and placing seeds in the past to have vines in the present. What can I say, these kinds of things work for me. Rupees are hard to come by compared to Seasons. In Seasons there are plenty of old men to be found under burnable bushes who will give you rupees but not so much in Ages. There's a heart piece you can buy for 500 rupees and it was one I didn't bother with in Ages. The inclusion of mini-games is cool but they can be a bit annoying when an attempt doesn't go right. Eventually practise makes perfect or you fluke it. No heart pieces from the mini-games or was I not good/ flukey enough?? The tasks between dungeons are preferable to Seasons (I think this is down to a lack of Subrosia...). The part where you have to retrieve your inventory makes for a nice change. I am not taking those coded secret messages from NPCs back to another linked game so please stop giving them to me. This was already a big ask from the player at release, never mind nowadays. The swimming controls! Tap tap tap tap tap tap the d-pad! Not comfortable. The overall difficulty isn't too bad outside the inconsistent difficulty curve with bosses. There's an early one I find difficult (the one you throw bombs into) then after that they aren't too bad barring one or two. How about one level that is all mine carts and another one that's all about revolving doors...? In both Oracle games, I like it when I'm facing enemies that weren't in Links Awakening. You know, new sprites. I like the switch hook/ long hook. No tip for where to go for level 8 in Ages but if there's an uninvestigated area on the map... Nuff said. Speaking of tips, all this Link's Awakening stuff and they couldn't dream up anything like Old Man Ulrira's telephone box-trees...? Ages may not be as puzzle-oriented, but the dungeons are still big enough, though end up containing plenty of empty, already done rooms to retread between boss key and boss door. Perhaps this isn't the case in every level but it happens enough to be noticeable. I prefer it when Zelda games don't make the backtracking obvious (be it on the overworld or in the levels). 3DS restore points come into their own on the final gauntlet. I had a restore point with 4 and a bit hearts at Ganon and restored until victory. Ganon shows no mercy and does a bit of Kaptain K. Rool flip-reversal with the kongtrols. He wants you dead from the word go and that's all there is to it. After the last time I played the Oracle games, I never really expected to fire them up again and that's how I feel now having put them to the sword once more. I like what they went for but I don't think these games hit the heights we know and expect from this kind of classic style Zelda. None of the non-LA music stands out and most of it is just repetitive, bad and gives the game a silly feel. Conceptually, connecting the two games is cool but the way they've done it wants you to play these games ad infinitum basically; I never thought these games merited the dedication they ask for. Getting a New Game + connection bonus would be enough for me. Never say never but outside of a remake, I don't see myself ever playing these two again (though who's up for it for the 70th anniversary?!) as there are better Zeldas to be replayed, imho. If I am ever to return to the Oracles in their GBC format, maybe I'll put that Hero's Secret code to use and continue linking adventures. A much of a muchness then, but Ages edges it for me.

And don't you forget to check it for seasonal items.

Rather than dealer's choice, I made the mistake of selecting the "it's hard to say" mood option with KK and got a repeat. The K. Funk.

It's probably time to look into ways of getting that shoulder button repaired or buying another 3DS outright as I don't think someone like you should be settling for a less than premium Fire Emblem experience.

60 FPS and gyro controls confirmed.

Anything in particular you can highlight or is it happening with everything? In the interests of troubleshooting, I just accessed a few things out there on Windows + Chrome and I wasn't forwarded to the URL you mention.

In eShop/ Nintendo Switch Online news, I just saw on my Switch notifications that Two-Point Hospital is currently on trial. https://www.nintendo.co.uk/Games/Nintendo-Switch/Two-Point-Hospital-JUMBO-Edition-1716185.html

How's it going with proving yourself to the character who needs you to prove yourself to the character who needs you to prove yourself by getting the three things that let you get another three things to prove yourself to the character who will vouch for you as (potentially) the hero to allow you to carry on with the chain of proving yourself by doing/ collecting three things by revisiting the three areas... and...?

Yeah totally. Dropping you into a later demo scenario that has some combat would have given a better impression of the game. And you're bang-on about the movement speed--it would be nice if she moved a smidge faster. Is the voice acting good enough throughout that you are listening to all the lines are are you reading the text and skipping on? You're joking! I think it was SaGa Frontier that had this bug too. When I went back to it the day after it came out I was shocked to see I'd already accrued 20+ hours of playtime! Fingers crossed updates can be pushed out sharpish for Cris Tales.

Haha @Sméagol did okay out of it as I added some DIYs to his decorative collection.

Thanks a lot for doing those for me. I'm going to customise them into their various colour schemes and try them out around the island.

For some reason when I glanced at this headline I thought Countdown was the next thing to crossover. https://www.eurogamer.net/articles/2021-07-27-fortnite-countdown-sets-stage-for-live-event-next-friday And I'm disappointed that it isn't.

Finished Masters of the Universe: Revelation, having watched an episode these past evenings with food. Just made the mistake of checking online to see how it's been received. Turns out not well. Doesn't matter one jot to me because I enjoyed it, liked what they went for and will watch more when it comes.

Wasn't sure if you were going to hold on to those as your crafter's fee. I'm going to hop on soon so if you're about I'll drop over, sure thing.

Baldo has cropped up in a couple of the Nintendo showcase videos. I'm looking forward to seeing some impressions and reviews to see how it turned out.

Launch trailer!

I'm sure you can identify as it sums up your activity in the Nintendo threads. You aren't coming across as perfectly comfortable, though. No one here propping your eyelids up with matchsticks and subjecting you to the BBC or any mass media, and no one here is going to pin you down and inject you. It's okay. N-E is a safe space. Your point of view (and @Beasts ) is important so that a fair and balanced discussion can be had. We've members who're vaxxed (and glad to be, let's note), @Beast isn't totally convinced one way or the other, and you're absolutely not interested under any circumstances. There's a nice spread of opinions and positions. But you really should consider presenting where you're coming from in a more approachable way so that others who want to engage with you on this topic can do so without it devolving to this.

I'm probably misremembering but Isn't it the boss before the last one (in a linked game) that you have to shoot mystery seeds at? Sure it may be three times easier with the slingshot but it's by no means impossible without. Other than that, standard issue Roc's Feather and spin attacks with the sword get the job done.
