That's awesome! I really need to get my hands on it and play it one of these days. I wish they'd re-release it.

I'm playing a translated rom. It's pretty good.

Good to hear. I definitely will try to do that myself one of these days. Need to replay Earthbound again too, because why not.

YES, I know, right? Amazing.

MovingPictures07 wrote:I forgot how good Donkey Kong Country 2 is.

Yeah it's amazing.

It's also really fucking hard.

Though Returns is even harder.

No kidding, right? I never did beat it. Trying to do that off and on now, but I'll need luck.

Dragon D. Luffy wrote:Anyone playing the new pokemon games?

And I'm not referring to any smartphone apps.

I'm not! I'm intrigued how they are though.

I forgot how good Donkey Kong Country 2 is.

I have all three new expansions though so catching up might be expensive.

I assume you got it on Steam? I may have to do that... just have to figure out where the money for it is coming from.

As for me, after all these years, I'm finally playing Super Mario RPG again, even if in small chunks at a time. What a game.

Oh my god, I'd love to replay this game. I haven't played in years.

Super Mario RPG came out recently for the Wii U Virtual Console. This is something I've been wanting to play for way too long.

Ah, that's true, probably why I like it. :P

Shame about Iwata. RIP indeed. Any speculations on whether this will significantly alter Nintendo's future path?

Wow, Epi, that's a ringing endorsement. Like Mr. X, I've not heard good things at all about modern Sonic games, with the same two exceptions. I actually have Generations and it's pretty good. Not VERY good, but enjoyable for sure. Always was a bit intrigued about Colors, but never played it.

I hope you actually got the joke lol.

It was a play on back in the day before people really abused the internet for game stuff. whenever you got into an argument with your friend about a video game you could say "Yeah well my dad works at *insert company*" and it would almost make you sound legit until you had to prove that your dad worked there

Oh, haha, that totally went over my head.

Now that you mention it, I do recall a few such instances.

Then again, I've often never been one to pick up on jokes, so I suppose it's not too surprising. :P

Your dad works at Nintendo? That's awesome.

Get a Wii U just for Smash. Do it. Totally worthwhile investment.

I think they are giving him normal chaining properties, or at least proper fighting game combos. At around 0:33 he chains crouching short>crouching forward and cancels that into a tatsu. That's classic ass street fighter right there

YES OH MY GOD

I started to downloaded them just a bit ago. I absolutely cannot wait to use him.

I'll add you and see what you have. I'm getting my own internet soon so in about a week or so my online connection will be stable, but for now I'm borrowing internet from the other half of my duplex. I don't do online multiplayer when they're home out of courtesy for letting me use it.

Mine is MovingPictures07. Feel free to add me!

nijuukyugou wrote:So I'm thinking I'm gonna finally bite the bullet and actually shell out money for a new system (I haven't bought anything recent for years). Question for those of you that have them: should I go for a DS or a Wii U? I can only afford one (if we can call it "affording"), and I'm leaning towards the DS since I've been wanting it for ages, but there are games I want (and will definitely want in the future) for the Wii U, too. Thoughts?

Definitely get the Wii U. No question.

I say this as an owner of both the 3DS and the Wii U. Love them both, but Wii U Smash is better, 3D World (Wii U) is better than 3D Land (3DS), etc. In addition, the prospect of new amazing games. However, I do recognize that 3DS has Zelda OOT and MM remakes, while Wii U only has Wind Waker remake (at the moment), but there's Zelda Wii U.

Like Bass said, unless you REALLY want mobility, get the Wii U.

Also, if you do spring for the 3DS, get the New Nintendo 3DS XL specifically. The XL makes a HUGE difference and the "New" one has Xenoblade Chronicles remake (can't buy that game for the original 3DS) and a few new neat features that are worth the extra $$$, so I've heard.

Minerva's Den was a rare instance of the twist actually surprising me.

Bioshock's twists got me every time, but to be fair, I'm not one to usually see twists coming in general (when we watch movies, Daisy always catches the twist and I don't).

I might agree with you, Epi, tough to say though. But I agree it was depressing (yet totally amazing). And on the topic of depressing... that makes me sad, Vomps.

That's understandable. I agree that the gameplay is better in Bioshock, and I prefer Bioshock over Bioshock Infinite, but the story and atmosphere of Infinite still trump for me and I still love it.

MovingPictures07 wrote:Do you have any of the Gears of War series, Mr. X?

Have the first one because I got it for free from XBL.

Got the third one too and almost re-upped a third time before I quit playing it. Beat the campaign on insane, and beat beast mode solo on insane. Used to play the shit out of that game.

Nice. You're WAY better than I am then. :P I'm not big into shooters, with Bioshock being the main exception, but I would say the Gears of War series is my favorite of non-Bioshock ones. I like the Halo series OK and Call of Duty I just could never get into, probably because I suck the most at that one.

Do you have any of the Gears of War series, Mr. X?
