Giving Metroid Other M another go!

Or rather, a proper go since I just watched the cutscenes last time I put it on.

It seems weird, but not Metroid weird. A different kind of weird. Like an ill fitting jumper kind of weird.

Hey Sean Malstrom, I want New Legend of Zelda also!

Yeah I'd love it. After finally giving Zelda 1 & 2 a proper go after all these years I'm finding a lot of things the series could do without and what it could do with. Sean gets to the heart of it.

I think the series ought to go a bit easier on the puzzles, or else it'll get as bad as a certain non-Zelda game where the final boss is a sudoku.

I'd also go for less dialogue or, to go a step further, have no dialogue at all.

The suggestion of a Gauntlet style multiplayer is great though it would have to be much better than Gauntlet. How about a Kirby & the Amazing Mirror style of multiplayer? I mean where each player could go to different parts of a map on their own.

Kirby's Adventure & Dream Land 1 glitches from Mike Matei

It's been out a few days I know but I just thought I'd link it.

I've been following this little series and I have to say it's really cool to see some of these things and it's great if you've got a few minutes to kill. This one is remarkable because of course Kirby games are amazing and just seeing some of the things there is rad like the the word HAL done in those star blocks.

Should you buy 3D Classics: Kid Icarus?

If you like but be sure to buy 3D Classics: Kirby's Adventure first! I guarantee you'll play and enjoy it more!

3D Classics Kid Icarus' save feature is ok but...

So I got the game anyway. I like the save feature but when you die you reset back at the last checkpoint with progress lost after that point. I'm not crazy about that happening in games that have RPG elements so what happens is your money (hearts) resets back to the way it was. Maybe it's better this way after all since it's a platformer. There could be an advantage to this too like say if your items got stolen you wouldn't have to buy them back again. I'd have to find that out though I'm not sure yet.

3D Classics Kid Icarus out now for 3DS in Ireland!

Just when I was giving serious thought about downloading this game from the eshop it appears! That can't be coincidence. I gotta get it! :)

It'll be nice having a save feature and not having to mess around with passwords.

Looking at a clip of the game in action it seems the 3D effect appers more prominently than in 3D Classics: Kirby's Adventure but of course that's simply because there's a kind of overlay effect on the background in Kid Icarus but with Kirby the background scrolls along with the action.

3DS Classics version of Kid Icaurus does away with passwords

I've heard that this version of the game has the save feature that was in the original Japanese version of the game and works like Zelda 1's name registration screen.

This is a big plus for me and is a good case for me buying it. I hated the passwords on the NES one and this is the only English version of the game that has the save feature. I just might buy it!
