Yeah, seriously. Could barely get 10 minutes into it.

I can't get into a game unless I'm not having fun.

I found some great Wii games for dirt-ass cheap today. I got Wario Land Shake It, Muramasa the Demon Blade, Tatsunoku vs Capcom and Nights, all for $5 and all in pristine condition. So, I spent some time screwing around with that stuff tonight.

In particular I spent a bunch of time with Wario Land Shake It and I forgot just how fantastic it was. I never beat it when I owned it and actually traded it after like two days, for whatever stupid reason. I don't hear people talk about it very often, but it's such a beautiful game, although it's incredibly weird that the entire thing is in 4:3 inside the levels.

I feel like I'm drowning in games, both old and new, so I'm not looking forward to the deluge in the next few weeks.

Oh you lucky-ass motherf**ker. Enjoy your newfound bounty.

Lucky. My Gamestop's Wii section sucks, not a single game that's worth it there.

That's why you don't go to GameStop for anything ever. Outside of very rare instances where you can catch them slipping, they're scam artists.

Wario Land Wii was excellent. The same developer went on to make Kirby Epic Yarn after which was also good.

The Wii had some excellent 2D platformers. Mario, DKC, Wario Land and two Kirby games.

Finished Arkham Asylum... took a while, but I finally got invested into it long enough to enjoy it...started Arkham City... its fun

Peanut · 07-30-2013, 10:45 PM

I take it back. Wario Land Shake It is a piece of sh*t. The gleam comes off that apple after the second world and it doesn't get better. The levels are samey and they rarely do things fresh enough to make you want to keep playing. The biggest issue are that the last few bosses are absolutely horrific and unfortunately they revolve almost entirely around using the incredibly bad wiimote aiming controls.

The game is an absolutely gorgeous piece of sh*t.

I got bored near Hot Roderick and haven't touched it since.

Peanut · 07-30-2013, 11:37 PM

You're better off.

*snake* · 07-30-2013, 11:43 PM

I can't even sell it, as it goes for sh*t on Amazon and at GameStop.

Well...except on Ebay

You can find everything at insane prices on eBay. It goes for far less than that.

The Wii U update system is truly a match for the PS3. What a god damn mess. In the amount of time it takes to do a system update alone, the 360 would have updated both that and gone through a game patch, and I'd still have time to install the game to the HD and play it. Absolute joke.

I absolutely adore the opening to Pikmin 3 however, so it was worth it.

*raph27* · 08-04-2013, 11:29 AM

I preordered LEGO Marvel for Xbox 360. Which was a little dumb considering I don't have a 360 yet, but hopefully.......

Just a heads up: The new ones are now pretty much the same price as the refurbs, so treat yourself.

You're probably right. I owned a copy of it once, finished it, and decided to trade it in at GameStop along with Metroid Prime 3: Corruption to get a good deal on Metroid Prime Trilogy when it was getting released. I thought it wouldn't hurt giving up MP3C since it's on the MPT disc and for the same system, and I thought I might repurchase Wario Land Shake It someday. I even still have its information saved in my Wii. However, I just haven't been feeling up to it lately. Also, I really don't want to bother with some of the challenges.

As far as Wario games go, I guess I'll just stick to the ones on GB(A). Wario World for GameCube loses its luster rather fast too.

*Ninjinister* · 08-04-2013, 11:04 PM

I'd been considering purchasing Super Meat Boy for about a week now. I had never played it and though it looked fun. Luckily, I saw how today, it's on sale for $2.99. SCORE!
