markderoos Posted June 1, 2015 Posted June 1, 2015 Don't Starve is a game I will surely buy some time, but I'll wait for the inherent price drop. Been really active with eShop/Indie games lately as I love the more snack sized puzzlers. Bought and played Boxboy!!, Affordable Space Adventures, Steamworld Dig, Thomas was Alone and both Mighty Switchforce games over the last two months.
Wii Posted June 1, 2015 Posted June 1, 2015 This weeks Wii U eShop downloads are as follows: Wii U eShop Don't Starve: Giant Edition (Klei Entertainment, €13.99 / £12.59) - An intriguing and stylish survival experience that has been critically acclaimed. The Wii U version also comes with the Reign of Giants expansion pack as part of the main game, while utilising the GamePad for inventory management and off-TV play. We'll try and survive to bring you a review soon. FullBlast (EnjoyUp Games, €4.99 / £4.40 until 2nd July, then €5.99 / £5.39) - Previously released on smart devices and Ouya, this adds to the small band of shmup titles on Nintendo's home platform, in this case with a focus on vertical scrolling and some boss set pieces. It supports two player co-op, too, and we'll give it a blast for review. Wii U Virtual Console Big Brain Academy (Nintendo, €6.99 / £6.29) - A title that helped to define the concept of the DS, and contributed a great deal to the portable's incredible success, arrives as the latest in the limited - to date - batch of DS titles on Wii U. A collection of minigames to test your faculties and (hopefully) show progress with practice, we gave this a reasonable if not glowing recommendation in our original Big Brain Academy review. Wii U eShop Temporary Discounts 99Moves (EnjoyUp Games, €1.49 / £1.34 until 2nd July, normally €2.49 / £2.29) 99Seconds (EnjoyUp Games, €1.49 / £1.34 until 2nd July, normally €2.49 / £2.29) Abyss (EnjoyUp Games, €1.49 / £1.34 until 2nd July, normally €1.99 / £1.79 Darts Up (EnjoyUp Games, €1.49 / £1.34 until 2nd July, normally €2.49 / £2.29) Rock 'N Racing Off Road (EnjoyUp Games, €2.99 / £2.69 until 2nd July, normally €5.99 / £5.39) Rock Zombie (EnjoyUp Games, €3.99 / £3.59until 2nd July, normally €6.99 / £6.29) Spy Chameleon (EnjoyUp Games, €3.99 / £3.59 until 2nd July, normally €4.99 / £4.49) Unepic (EnjoyUp Games, €4.99 / £4.40 until 2nd July, normally €9.99 / £8.99) Spot the Differences: Party! (Sanuk Games, €2.99 / £2.69 until 11th June, normally €5.00 / £4.49) Turtle Tale (Saturnine Games, €1.99 / £1.65 until 18th June, normally €2.99 / £2.49)
Kounan Posted June 4, 2015 Posted June 4, 2015 So again : Which one should I get, Unepic, Spy Chameleon, or FullBlast? Unepic has good reviews, so it is my favourite, but I am still not sure what to choose.
somme Posted June 4, 2015 Posted June 4, 2015 Don't Starve is a great game, was one of the first indie games I bought when I got my PS4 last year. Highly recommend it.
Kounan Posted June 5, 2015 Posted June 5, 2015 Thx. I will wait a week or so, as maybe I will get some money and be able to purchase Splatoon, or something in that range. It's not likely, but I let's try it .
Londragon Posted June 8, 2015 Posted June 8, 2015 This Thursday's rather lean offerings; Wii U Virtual Console Mega Man Battle Network 3 Blue & White (Capcom, GBA VC, €6.99 / £6.29) Wii U eShop Temporary Discounts Cubemen 2 (Nnooo, €4.49 / £3.99 until 25th June, regular price €7.99 / £6.99) Fit Music for Wii U (O2 Games, €12.90 / £9.90 until 11th July, regular price €29.99 / £24.90) Luv Me Buddies Wonderland (O2 Games, €12.90 / £9.90 until 11th July, regular price €29.99 / £24.90) There is no mention of Lego: Jurassic World??
Kounan Posted June 10, 2015 Posted June 10, 2015 It seems that if you get Don't Starve, you also get a free download code for the game. I wanted to ask if I get the game is anyone interested in swaping the code for some other game?

You get 15% off the final version if you play the demo. Fantastic deal!
Kounan Posted June 15, 2015 Posted June 15, 2015 (edited) I am not to happy, as I don't know when are they coming out and I did hope for some bigger titles to be on sale. Thank God I've got RE:R on time. Also, 15% can't be a big saving on an indie game, but the demos are great for promotion of the games. Anyway, is Splatoon the best 40€ games, or can I get something better for that kind of money? Or should I by two games for that money? Edited June 15, 2015 by Kounan
Hero-of-Time Posted June 15, 2015 Posted June 15, 2015 I've just played through The Freedom Planet trial. Awesome! It feels like I'm playing a Megadrive game. The visuals, soundtrack and level layout all scream the classic Sega console. Definitely a day 1 purchase. @S\.C\.G, @RedShell make sure to check it out.
Kounan Posted June 15, 2015 Posted June 15, 2015 (edited) I have about 55-60 euros to spend and I am thinking of getting Splatoon and Don't Starve, but I am still not sure about don't starve (it looks like I could like it, but....). Also, what is a better game, Splatoon, or Hyrule Warriors? I loved the Splatoon demo and I did like the gameplay for Hyrule Warriors (I saw it only on youtube), so I am not sure what to get, or should I go after something else (Splatoon is my favourite as I don't think it will be on sale any time soon). EDIT: I've just checked, Don't Starve is 8,99 euros on Steam, so I will not get the game now, will wait for some offer (unless someone want to exchange another game for the code I would get). Edited June 15, 2015 by Kounan
Glen-i Posted June 15, 2015 Posted June 15, 2015 My vote goes to Hyrule Warriors. Everyone else will disagree with me.
Kounan Posted June 15, 2015 Posted June 15, 2015 What? Now ? I've already bought Splatoon , it's downloading right now. Wii U eShop Temporary Discounts Citizens of Earth (Atlus, €6.99 / £6.29 until 25th June, normally €11.99 / £9.99) I have played the demo and it looked interesting, but I only played for about 10 minutes, so I am not quite sure what to think of this game?
Kounan Posted June 16, 2015 Posted June 16, 2015 (edited) Hyrule Warriors 34,99euros (30% off)... Only till the 22nd, have no Idea if I will have the money in time.... Edited June 16, 2015 by Kounan
Hero-of-Time Posted June 17, 2015 Posted June 17, 2015 E3 Discounts Hyrule Warriors £27.99 Mario Power Tennis £4.40 Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga £4.40 Fire Emblem: Sacred Stones £4.40 Metroid Prime Trilogy £12.59
Kounan Posted June 17, 2015 Posted June 17, 2015 (edited) Does Metroid Prime has to be played with Wii Motion plus, can I use the pad's motion controls? Edited June 17, 2015 by Kounan
Londragon Posted June 17, 2015 Posted June 17, 2015 Does Metroid Prime has to be played with Wii Motion plus, can I use the pad's motion controls? Wii Mote, just like on the Wii, no GamePad gyro controls.
Lens of Truth Posted June 17, 2015 Posted June 17, 2015 Nindies offer might be the highlight of Nintendo's E3 for me. Rive and Freedom planet are both top notch! The latter feels like a combination of Sonic, Dynamite Heady, Rocket Knight and Ristar - pure bliss! Looks great on the gamepad screen too.
Kounan Posted June 17, 2015 Posted June 17, 2015 Wii Mote, just like on the Wii, no GamePad gyro controls. Thx . Btw.

Wii Posted June 21, 2015 Posted June 21, 2015 Axiom Verge 'probably' coming to Wii U in 2016 Destructoid has had Metroid on the brain all week. Believe it or not, we've secretly been holding back from writing more about the series than we already have. We almost put together a feature about some of the awesome looking Metroid-likes that are currently on the horizon (including Ghost Song, Chasm, and Paradise Lost) but we didn't want to burn you out on the topic. Our current Metroid obsession may be nearly as intense as the love that Axiom Verge developer Tom Happ feels for the series. Probably not though. Few people love Metroid enough to spend five years of their life working on a game that's basically a love letter to Metroid and Super Metroid, but that's exactly what he did. Even fewer people would probably use the Destructoid comments section to tell the world that he "...can't commit to anything, but Axiom Verge will *probably* be available for Wii U in 2016. 3DS is quite a bit more difficult since the hardware is so completely different. Should Nintendo be reading this and decide to lend me a hand, that'd be VERY appreciated!!" Operation AxiomMergeTroid anyone?http://www.destructoid.com/axiom-verge-probably-coming-to-wii-u-in-2016-294521.phtml That's great news if it happens. I wish Nintendo would make a new 2D Metroid game and put it on the Wii U.

Kounan Posted June 22, 2015 Posted June 22, 2015 I am still upset about the deal for Europe after E3, because the Americans had 5-6 great games on sale.
Hero-of-Time Posted June 22, 2015 Posted June 22, 2015 Just a quick reminder that the Nindies offer ends today, so if you want a 15% discount when the full game arrives you had better download the demo quickly. I mentioned earlier that I downloaded and loved Freedom Plant. I've got Rive, Typoman and Runbow to have a gander at. The rest don't really interest me.
