I've also been playing Mario Kart 7. S'alright, but the character selection is weirrrrrd. Koopa Kids, but no Bowser Jr? Not to mention stuff like Metal Mario. Online is awesome though.


Does anyone here do Club Nintendo? I got some pretty cool stuff off there, like a case for my games and two VC games. (Kid Icarus: OMAM, and Super Mario Kart)

Yeah, Club Nintendo is cool. I get mostly posters and whatever the Platinum rewards are, usually.

Club Nintendo is ending.

And we were just talking about it, too

I hope the new rewards program they are planning is as good or better. Sigh, sadly I'm anticipating a downgrade -- and it wasn't all that great to begin with.

Here's more information on that.

So since Majora's Mask 3D comes out after today, I won't be able to register it for points.

I've been only seriously interested in a couple of items or the catalogue of Nintendo Club this far.
Anyways, I'm planing on burning my remaining thousands of point after February (apparently new items are coming for the goodbye) so I can get dromers some Europe exclusive stuff if you want.

I'm currently playing Professor Layton and the Curious Village for the Nintendo DS, and TMNT: Mutant Melee for Xbox.

Helllllllll yeah you are!

Ever played a Layton game before? :o

Playing Sleeping Dogs for the Xbox 360, the game is alright. I'm liking the story in it so far.

[Allio]

Playing Shantae (GB) on the virtual console, will slowly make myself through the games

[Leo656]

Finally started playing Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots. Played the first two chapters last night and I'm really enjoying it so far. Literally everything that was annoying me in Twin Snakes was completely fixed by the time of the fourth game, it's just so smooth. Can't help but get a kick out of how much of an "all-star reunion" it is, also. Going to play it again after dinner, don't know if I'll get to finish it tonight or not, kind of don't think so but I'm not sure how long the rest of it is.

Really has me looking forward to V, now. I really wish they'd do a 3D remake of Metal Gear/MG 2: Solid Snake, just to make the series "complete".

[Storm Eagle]

I tried playing Tetris for Game Boy on my GameCube through the Game Boy Player last night. It's actually kind of easy to mess up placing Tetrads with the Gamecube controller.

Last game I purchased was Smash Bros. for Wii-U. I've cleared most stuff on it except for a couple of challenges, some co-op events, and I still need to finish collecting trophies, but that's about it. Right now I've sat money back for the Mario Maker, I can't wait to play with that.

As for games that I'm currently playing. Well, I started a marathon about a year and a half to two years ago. I planned to play through all of the games that I own because I own quite a few that I've never beaten. I started out with 411 games to go through, but now I'm down to 287+. I say "287+" because I've bought some more games since I started the marathon and I haven't wrote them down on the list like I should have.

Anyway, the games I'm focusing on completing right now are Mother 3, Donkey Kong Country, Final Fantasy 6, Castlevania: Rondo of Blood, and Mega Man & Bass.

I'm about halfway through Donkey Kong Country, and I'm pretty close to the end of Mother 3 and Final Fantasy 6. I finished the Vine Valley area last time I played Donkey Kong Country. I've gotten all the bonus rooms so far except for one in the Orangutan Gang stage. I just started Chapter 7 on Mother 3 (The one where you pull all the needles), and the only thing I have left to do on Final Fantasy 6 is go to the final area and defeat Kefka.

I can have Mega Man & Bass beaten today, if I put some play time into it. I've only beaten the intro stage, but I'm going to wait until I'm skyping with a friend before I play it again because I like letting people choose the order I fight the Robot Masters in. As for Castlevania: Rondo of Blood, I'm on the fourth stage. I plan to beat the game as Richter and then go back through all the stages as Maria to try and get everything I missed and check out all the alternate paths.

Also, I think I mentioned on here that I was playing through Star Tropics awhile back. Well, I finally beat that game legitimately! It was pretty dang hard, too! I still really enjoyed it, though. I originally planned to put off playing through the sequel for a looooong time, but then I got curious about how difficult the second game was. So I turned it on and played some and....it was actually really good! It wasn't as difficult, there were more healing items, and being able to walk in eight directions were all nice improvements. Plus, I really liked the cutscenes. I beat Zoda's Revenge in...I think two days. Pretty good series, in my opinion.

I beat Halo 2 anniversary on legendary with Peanut. It was so utterly maddening, but Goddamned if I don't feel accomplished.

I felt like that after Halo 4 and Reach solo on Legendary but damn 2 is the hardest. My brother and I have yet to do it, but it's definitely a video game goal of mine.

MH4 demo, thanks to a member here. More cramps then Kid Icarus. You NEED a circle pad pro to enjoy this game on a 3ds, so I'll stick to the Wii U versions.

I also got a demo code from a friend, it was great to feel the thrill of the hunt again. Will post my friendcode here when games comes out.
I'm warning you Gore Magala!!

Yesterday we finished the 3rd book of Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker, now for the extra levels, God know that's going to be hard...

[Ninjinister]

Never did get Stranger's Wrath any of the other times it'd been released so I picked it up on OUYA when it dropped yesterday. I really like it. Also grabbed R-Type I and II on the same because they're on sale.

[Redmage1987]

I finished my files on Mother 3, Final Fantasy 6, and Mega Man & Bass. All three were great games, in my opinion. Mother 3 seems more difficult than the other two games in the series, but it's still not too bad. Final Fantasy 6 is my second favorite Final Fantasy game. I liked the parts that required you to form more than one team of people in order to progress. Mega Man & Bass was no problem at all to complete, I especially like using all the different Robot Master weapons. Mega Man & Bass has probably the second or third best weapon set in the Classic Series, in my opinion.

Now I'm focusing on completing Donkey Kong Country, Castlevania: Rondo of Blood, Pokemon Puzzle League, Paper Mario: The Thousand Year Door, and Pokemon Emerald.

I completed the Kremkroc Inc. area on Donkey Kong Country, but I'm still trying to find all the secrets in a couple of levels there before I move on to the next area.

As for Castlevania: Rondo of Blood, I'm on the seventh stage. I should be able to finish the game with Richter on my next play session.

On Pokemon Puzzle League, I'm stuck on the V.Hard battle against Team Rocket. Admittedly, most of the matches that I've won on V.Hard have been flukes and I only won because I survived long enough for the opponent to mess up. That's most likely how I'm going to have to win the rest of the matches from here on out too, lol.

I think I'm on the last (or maybe second last) chapter on Paper Mario: The Thousand Year Door. I'm making my way back up through the ranks at the arena in order to meet someone so that I can get permission to use a cannon in the snow area where the bob-ombs live.

Finally, in Pokemon Emerald, I just finished the story at Mt.Pyre. Now I have to find the Team Magma hideout.

I played Super Smash Bros. for 3DS last night with a friend of mine. I don't have a lot left to do in that. I just need to get five more hats, and complete the challenge that requires you to play Smash for like....40 hours I think it was? Anyway, it seems that my Circle Pad is starting to mess up. I'm not really rough with it, and the rubber isn't breaking or anything like that. The problem is that every once in awhile whenever I move left or right, it will continue to move left or right after I have moved the pad back to the neutral position. Anyone else ever had this problem? I've looked it up and most people just say to take the 3DS apart and clean under the pad.

On the subject of Monster Hunter. I've never played a game in that series, but as of Monster Hunter 4, I've become interested in trying it out. The Mega Man outfit is what caught my interest. I'm a huge Mega Man fan, so I thought maybe this would be a good time to give the series a chance. I may pick up Monster Hunter 4 when I get some extra cash.

Step up your chain game bro. Get some chains, then stack combo garbage in between it all because you can just get that **** whenever you want.

[Redmage1987]

I finished my file on Castlevania: Rondo of Blood. This was my first time beating it, and I got nine game overs during my playthrough as Richter. I started a file with Maria as soon as I beat it with Richter and MAN does she make the game a complete joke! Walking and attacking at the same time, rolling and sliding, double jumping, powerful weapons, and the "Dark Maria" (or whatever it is?) secret move make the game a cinch! I went through all of the alternate levels and rescued all the maidens. I got 100% on my file now, and I was planning on buying all the videos that show how to fight the bosses, but I'm going to save that for when I attempt a "perfect file" at some point down the road.

I'm nearing the end of the Chimp Cavern's Area on Donkey Kong Country. I've found all the secrets in each level so far except for Oil Drum Alley (CANNOT SEEM TO FIND IT!), Elevator Antics, and Tanked Up Trouble. After I find those secrets, though, I'll be ready to beat the game.

I'm still working on finishing my V-Hard Run on Pokemon Puzzle League. I was successful in defeating Team Rocket and now I'm up against Giovanni.

I've been getting a little better at the chain combos lately, but it still seems like I throw a lot at them at the computer and they're just like "lolnoproblem!"

I finished the Chapter 7 on Paper Mario: The Thousand Year Door and I also completed the Pit of 100 Trials. Flurrie was a lot of help during the lower levels. Now I just need to go through Chapter 8 and finish the game.

In Pokemon Emerald, I've collected all the Gym Badges and now I just need to defeat the Elite Four. Also, for anyone wondering, my team is...Typhlosion, Golem, Butterfree, Raticate, Tyranitar, Lunatone, and Zangoose.

Since I finished my playthrough of Castlevania: Rondo of Blood, I decided to resume my file on the 3DS Version of Sonic Generations. I've completed all the levels, I just need to beat the final boss. Before I do that, though, I want to S-Rank everything. I last S-Ranked all the Emerald Coast Stages and now I'm trying to S-Rank the Radical Highway Levels.

Normally, at most I would only have 5 games going on at once, but I'm currently doing a marathon playthrough of the Zelda series on GameFAQs at the moment. So I'm breaking the rules of my marathon a little bit. I just started Spirit Tracks, and I got the Snow Rail Map the last time that I played. So far I'm really liking the game, but I can't stand those stupid Demon Trains.

I broke the rules just a teensy bit more, and I started a file on Super Mario 3D Land since I just got that from Club Nintendo. I just completed the Second World. I've gotten all the Golden Flags so far as well. I'm really enjoying the game so far, and my only complaint is that I don't like going all the way through levels again if you miss getting the Golden Flag the first time around.

I got this from someone on eBay recently. The box was very much like new and even still had all the paperwork included.
