Other Gaming Recent Happenings Thread

I've been playing metroid through the ammbassador (dont know how to spell) program.

I love it, always seem to die at the same place though

I've reached Norfair in Metroid though I haven't played in a while.

I played a demo of Starfox 64 3D in GAME today. Not bad but not enough to make me want it. If there was online multiplayer, however, then it would be a possibility. But Starfox has has never really grasped my interest anyway so I doubt things would change (then again, OoT 3D managed it).

Press the Home button while playing. The 3DS will save that point. The Password system is there, yes but you can almost not tell the difference between the number zero and the letter O.

I recently completed the 3DS StreetPass Quest... that's about it, to be honest.

Completed that ages ago....

Yeah, kinda slacked off of it for a while.

I just completed Majora's Mask. While the ending isn't as good as, say, Twilight Princess or Wind Waker, it was still worth the effort to one of the longer games in the series (I say longer but I went and collected all twenty of the masks (not counting the ones that transform you)).

Currently in a bit of a dilemma here. Both Mario 3D and Skyward Sword come out on Friday... and I'm tempted to get both. I mean, I was going to get Mario from the very start but Skyward Sword just looks too amazing to pass up. Worth mentioning at this point that I already have a MotionPlus adaptor so I'm not forking out the extra £10 for that golden remote (as beautiful as it is).

Okay, here are the games I'm trading in:
Kirby's Epic Yarn
Donkey Kong Country Returns
Tatsunoko vs. Capcom
Marvel vs. Capcom 3
No More Heroes 2
Super Street Fighter 4 3D
Dead Or Alive Dimensions

Considering that GAME won't give me much anyway, I still reckon I could get at least £10 off. What do you guys reckon? Should I go for it?

I've also decided I'm trading Wii Fit in as well, Balance Board included. That should net me a hefty trade-in price.

EDIT: Wow! £62 for the lot (aside from Dead Or Alive because I forgot to put it back in the box. D'oh!).

nice! so are you getting both the games? I think ill just get mario for christmas

Yup! It does unfortunately mean I'll to wait on games like Mario Kart and Ultimate Marvel Vs. Capcom 3... but I'm willing to wait. It's a small price to pay on two games that look absolutely fantastic.

I can't wait for mariokart as well, we'll all have to play together!

I just completed 3D Land. Like, fully completed it. All levels done with both Mario and Luigi, all Star Coins, all golden flagpoles and completed the final final final level. The best way I can describe that level is, "Ouch, Nintendo... just... ouch..."

I have just completed Skyward Sword... wow... just... just wow.

I think I speak for everyone when I say "victory milkshakes all round."

I would rate this in the appropriate thread but it deserves much more than this. Full review is coming.

I beat Metroid Fusion during my break today. Making it the only free GBA game I'm completed (aside from WarioWare).

The demo for Snake Eater 3D got released today and, after a while learning the workings of the game, I really like it. Using the face buttons to control the camera is kinda wobbly but I'm sure the second circle-pad will make up for that.

I tried out the demo for Rhythm Thief today. Actually a pretty good game with very catchy music. Worth checking out.

Well, Kid Icarus is finished. I will probably go back and get the Intensity doors I couldn't get to before but I'll be sticking with online for the time being.

I've also been playing Skyward Sword again and have finished the sixth dungeon.
