Personally, I prefer to play Ages before Seasons.

Ages may be trickier, but...

The true final boss is WAY easier to beat with Season's Roc's Cape and Hyper Slingshot. Roc's Feather and Seed Shooter are basically crappy versions of the two.

 

Ah, that's interesting. I'm so unobservant I didn't notice the difference in items. Personally, I played Ages first, then Seasons. I found Ages far more complicated to move around in, and Seasons far more enjoyable.

 

Playing them as a linked game is very complicated and takes all your attention whilst you're doing it.

I decided to go with Links Awakening as my next game. I've only played through this twice, once being the original and the other the DX version. This being the case I remember very little about it.

 

I will always remember my first play through of this game. We went on holiday to Blackpool and I took my GameBoy with me. I also packed a bunch of school books to revise from as it was nearing my exams. I don't think they ever got unpacked as I was too busy playing Zelda. :)

 

I'm only up to the 3rd dungeon, ( nearing it as i'm looking for 5 golden leaves at the moment ) but it's been an enjoyable experience so far. Little snippets of the game keep coming back to me as I play it though, like the trading game sequence and walking the chain chomp. :D

 

Marin singing dat Ballad of the Wind Fish though..:bowdown: I could listen to that all day.

Finished Lufia: The Legend Returns yesterday.

Here's a couple of miiverse posts.

No, I haven't hacked the game or anything, that's one of the actual party members you can get. With stats like that, he never died (Except for the odd, unlucky instant death move).

It might possibly be the most broken character in an RPG ever.

Overall, I'd say it's worth the money if you're into Roguelike dungeons but want a more traditional turn-based battle system.

It was surprisingly hard though, I give it that.

Best game on the Gameboy by a mile. One of my favourite memories from my teenage gaming years. I think it and ALTTP are the only Zelda games I've replayed several times.

 

You must remember the trick for robbing the shop and getting zapped the next time you entered?

I'll always remember that! I'm sure I first seen that trick on an episode of Gamesmaster.

 

So, I woke up early today and couldn't get back to sleep. i figured I would crack on with the game and get an hour or so in before heading off to work. I finished the 3rd temple yesterday and was about to enter the 4th. I fired my 3DS up but instead of quick loading the data I accidentally saved over it with a new save state.

I just shrugged my shoulders and started from scratch. After an hour I was once again back to where I left off the previous night. Amazing how fast you can play through a game if it's still fresh in your mind. :D

Meanwhile, Japan and the U.S. get Kirby & The Rainbow Curse/Paintbrush... :indeed:

 

Haha. Good point! We really do get screwed over when it comes to Kirby, don't we?

The only times where we haven't been screwed over are with the releases of Kirby Mass Attack, Kirby's Adventure Wii (outside of the horrible name change at least!) and Kirby: Triple Deluxe.

 

Every single other Kirby game has always seen huge delays in Europe for no good reason or, in the case of Kirby's Dreamland 3 and Kirby: Dream Collection, not released in Europe originally at all. NOE generally really seem to hate him!

Are they the same bits in Kirby 3DS or fleshed out versions of those mini games?

 

Fleshed out, how far fleshed out though I can't say, but definitely more extensive than the limited mini-games in the original.

Found this quote from Nintendo themselves

In Dedede’s Drum Dash Deluxe, players move Dedede across the stage, bouncing to the beat in seven new stages exclusive to this downloadable version. In Kirby Fighters Deluxe, players use different copy abilities to defeat all of the arena opponents. This version includes five new stages and a new team battle feature. Players who already own Kirby: Triple Deluxe with StreetPass data will get bonus content in both downloadable games.

I remember I struggled with deleting posts when I first tried the option. First you click on edit, then "delete", highlight "delete message" from deletion options and then finally click "delete this message". I do have to use it a bit when beaten to the punch on some stories. :)

Flipnote Studio 3D is now finally available on the NA club nintendo. Let's hope Europe follows soon!

 

All online features seem to have been removed. But it is still possible to export movies to the SD card and share flipnotes over local connection.
