The Mad Monkey Posted June 20, 2011 Share Posted June 20, 2011 That's a bit shit, a bit of advance warning would be nice. Downloaded DK now anyway, and had a thought, as they are downloaded to your SD card is it possible to transfer or copy games? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
S.C.G Posted June 20, 2011 Share Posted June 20, 2011 Transfer possibly... copy and play on another 3DS? Certainly not, that'd be piracy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Mad Monkey Posted June 20, 2011 Share Posted June 20, 2011 I didn't ask if it was moral, just possible, always good to have a back up anyways. Are Virtual Console games available for DSi owners too, or just 3DS, seems stupid if it's just 3DS, sure there's a market out there for DSi, plenty haven't upgraded yet.

He didn't say it was moral, he said 'Certainly not' because it would be easy piracy if that were the case. Games are encrypted individually by each console.

dazzybee Posted June 20, 2011 Share Posted June 20, 2011 Just finished super mario land, can't believe how short it is! Thought the game was surprisingly hard for world 3... Can't believe the game has 12 very short levels and that's it... Fun though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Mad Monkey Posted June 20, 2011 Share Posted June 20, 2011 You know this to be fact? Just saying, with other downloadable games services you can download and play copies of games on other consoles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can't believe the game has 12 very short levels and that's it... Fun though. Yeah, as a kid though I thought it was really long. Probably because you couldn't save your game so you had to finish it through one sitting. I like the game on the 3DS as you can save it at any point. Its a good game to have if you just want to play on something for only 10 or so mins. Don't forget that once the game has finished there's hard mode to complete!

darksnowman Posted June 20, 2011 Author Share Posted June 20, 2011 Mario Land was epic back in the day. I remember the first time I finished it I was shaking flying through that final level. The pressure was on! Don't get that feeling these days as I'm calm as a cucumber ...or maybe games just don't evoke that any more. I'm not liking this concept of having a "minimum top up" on your eShop account. I thought doing away with the points system would allow you to just pony up the cash for each download. This is bound to get messy with 1p always being left over from each purchase, ya know? So close to doing the right thing Nintendo, so close. PS seeing SCGs sig and av reminds me, I want them to put Metroid 2 up so / nando / can buy it and I can try it. It might be good, you never know. :wink: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blade Posted June 21, 2011 Share Posted June 21, 2011 Is there? If I start another game will it ask me? Yeah once you finish the game you just press any button on the title screen. The cursor will change from a mushroom to mario's face. Then press start. Obviously if you finish the game and then just switch it off then it won't work. Just game save it and play it when you want Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dazzybee Posted June 21, 2011 Share Posted June 21, 2011 Hmmm, I guess I made a mistake because it doesn't do that Only takes an hour t finish (or use my last RESTORE point)... Cheers though! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dazzybee Posted June 22, 2011 Share Posted June 22, 2011 This weeks eshop games have been announced. DOuble Dragon and Radar Mission; both 2.70... tempted by double dragon. PLayed that game to DEATH in the arcades on this version on the gameboy! There's also a couple of dsi games, a singing game and a puzzle bobble rip off game (only 200 points though so may be worth a punt) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grazza Posted June 22, 2011 Share Posted June 22, 2011 I don't think anything makes me go more misty-eyed than Double Dragon. There I was, a young lad, trying to find it in every sports centre, arcade and holiday camp I went in. I played it, adrenaline pumping through my body, with the smell of hot dogs and onions in the background. Ah, those were the days... Personally, I've not played the Game Boy version, but I would like the GBA edition (which I believe was extended) and the actual coin-op on the Wii U's Virtual Console.

Hero-of-Time Posted June 22, 2011 Share Posted June 22, 2011 The last time I played Double Dragon was on the Xbox 360 as part of XBLA and it was pants. The game had not aged well at all, especially when looking at other games in the same genre like Final Fight and Streets of Rage. In other news it seems Japan is getting Game and Watch Gallery on their VC soon. I loved these remakes on the GB so i'm hoping we get them aswell.

Grazza Posted June 22, 2011 Share Posted June 22, 2011 Double Dragon has very different gameplay to Final Fight, though. Final Fight started the trend that you would fight your way through hordes and hordes of enemies, and this was carried on by Streets of Rage etc. Double Dragon is about fewer, but more difficult enemies. Personally, I think Double Dragon has aged a lot better than Streets of Rage, which never seemed very smooth-scrolling to me even at the time. It also felt a bit puny. Now, Streets of Rage 2 is another matter... Golden Axe uses a similar philosophy to Double Dragon, and that has also aged pretty well (the coin-op, at least).

Dog-amoto Posted June 25, 2011 Share Posted June 25, 2011 I heard that you could make your Gameboy games have a slight green tint to them to emulate the poor screen of the original Gameboy. How do you do this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
