teh "what did you buy today"-thread

Should keep me busy for the weekend:

Zanac FDS and NES are very similar games.  There are some tiny differences though, enough that Compile included both roms on the Zanac X Zanac release for PS1.

Zanac EX i(MSX 2) s based on NES version, but graphics are much improved.  Though overall I still prefer the original MSX1 Zanac with it's mono-chrome sprites.  It plays better imo, sub-weapons don't have levels, just pick the one you want and kick ass.

I've gotten quite lazy with my pic taking, but this is one I've wanted for a loooooooong time

I am too lazy to search for the Strider thread, so I will say I picked it up today for my XB1 here.

After playing about 90 minutes worth, I will say I am quite impressed.  The worst thing about the game is the fact you need to use the analog stick, instead of the d-pad, to control Strider.  Otherwise, for the price paid, I am pretty happy.

For all the people who want a retail release, I am fairly certain the game definitely has the "digital" feel.  It is a high quality digital game or course, but it isn't the type of game that needs a full retail release.

I was going to pick up Tropical Freeze today...  Tell me though, waggle controls or no?


Picked up a load of stuff from Opethian yesterday.  Thanks to Punkic Cyborg for the hookup on the XM29!  And also some other stuff that has trickled in over the past month or so...

Due to the tablet controller being the primary thing used, I am going to hope there isn't too much waggle...

However, I just bought DK: Tropical Freeze today because Toys R Us has a sale where you buy that game, you get 40% off another game.  HOWEVER!  I went online and it actually let me add 3 games to the cart at 40% off and then you can do in store pickup too.

I was able to add Wind Waker HD $30, Rayman Legends $23, and Scribblenauts Unmasked $23.  Wonderful 101 just missed the cut, but that one was $17 with the deal.  Also, it seems that Wii Fit U doesn't count for the deal, which is too bad because 40% off a $90 game would be great.

Also, if they don't have any of the games at the store near you (as was the case for me with Rayman and Scribblenauts), then those games will ship free.

There are no waggle controls in DK: tropical freeze. Also you dont have to use the gamepad controller. if you have the Wii U pro controller, you can just use that, which is what i have been using. There are actually no gamepad features. If you use the gamepad and are playing the game on the TV, the gamepad screen is just blank

I'm afraid this is going to be the case more and more.  I wouldn't be surprised if they do a Wii U run without the gamepad entirely to bring the cost down.

I'm just glad there is no waggle!!!

Holy montey haul beamer!!!!

Theses are a couple games I picked up last night locally at a game store. I haven't bought a game locally in a very long time. Everything has been picked over here locally and it's all overpriced junk or stuff with no prices where the clerk takes the game to ebay and tells you the "market price"

They would have to allow you to access the shop and other things with the pro controller. Because right now, you need the game pad to go to the eshop, or to view system settings
