The "Recommend Me A Game" Thread.

I'm considering using some of my last Nintendo stars to get a download code for Mysterious Murasame Castle, but can anyone tell me what it's like or if it's any good? Most of the other games are either too expensive or I already own them in some other form.

if you like quick gameplay and high difficulty, this is for you

Anyone have any opinions on Twilight Princess for Wii? Are the motion controls usable? I'm considering getting it but I can't afford the Gamecube version.

some zelda fans consider this one of the weakest entries in the franchise, but dont get me wrong this is a a great game. the wii remote works well, with the inventory wheel as easy selection of items for instance. downside is you can pretty much hack your way through this game as the enemies dont offer much of a challenge.

motion controls definitely usable!

[euan707]

Motion controls aren't as bad as some people say skyward sword's are, and I have to say that, after playing all of the 3D titles, Twilight Princess definitely isn't the worst.

[Kriken]

The motion controls are fine. Nothing groundbreaking, but they feel pretty natural. You'll probably forget about them and just get lost in the experience of what is a pretty solid Zelda game, which is fine.

Soz guys for the double post.

But I need to know which gamecube Mario Party game is the best.

I'm askin' for opinions.

[Jezo]

Probably 4 or 5.

5 had this cool robot-vehicle building/battling side-game though. Well, I remember it being cool at the time, but 4 is probably better. Basically, earlier Mario Partys are always better. 2 and 3 are god tier.

[Kriken]

Thanks Jez

Gotta be 5. It had the best board maps, mini games, and that blasty car game.

I need to spend £25 on Shopto by Thursday to continue being a silver member.
Should I go for Kirby and the Rainbow Paintbrush (£27.02) or Puzzle & Dragons Z £(19.25) and Scribblenauts Unlimited (£9.56)

I'm leaning towards Kirby because Puzzle & Dragons looks a bit generic tbh.

Any suggestions?

EDIT: I've just played the P&Q demo and its not doing it for me so Kirby it is.

Looking to buy my first Harvest Moon game, has to be playable on 3DS, so DS, 3DS or virtual console.

Any recommendations?

friends of mineral town if that's available

Whatever you do, do not get the newest games (Lost Valley and Seeds of Memories) because those aren't actually the "real" Harvest Moon (Bokujo Monogatari) games, but a cheap ripoff made by Natsume because they aren't localizing the original series made by Marvelous anymore but still owns the name "Harvest Moon" so they make their own ripoff games under that name

What was previously known as Harvest Moon, and is still called Bokujo Monotagari in Japan, is now called Story of Seasons and has XSeed as a publisher for localization

As for what game to get... I haven't actually played the series so I don't know, but I do know about this big mess-up

Suffering from Wimbledon withdrawal symptoms. I should be able to cope until Mario Ultra Smash but I'm after another kind of tennis game .. what I'm after:

A tennis game featuring any kind of greats (Federer, Hingis, Agassi, Ivanisevic, further back Becker whatever) with a small player creation aspect. Also after a game where the winning shots are varied and less predictable, (not just send them one way and with power the other way you win every time). A few stadiums or surfaces from the get go would be nice too.

Anyone know of such a game ? (I have a: Wii, PS2, Gamecube, PS3, Wii U, DS, 3DS, GBA all ready to go)

[ABoxerWhoIsPacifist]

I believe EA Sports have or at least had a tennis series, that could be something you could check out. Dunno about the quality, but Mario ones are the only other tennis games I know.

Virtua Tennis games are great

I'm ordering my sisters birthday present off of Amazon but would have to pay £4 for delivery (half the price of the gift) so I thought I'd treat myself to a game I've been wanting to bring the total to over £20 for free delivery.

Basically which is better, Captain Toad or Yoshi's Woolly World?

[Ash]

I'd say Yoshi's Woolly World, but if you don't want to spend the money on it, you can always buy your sister's birthday present and preoder a game at the same time because that way you get free delivery, then when it arrives you can just cancel the preorder.

is Xenoblade worth it on Eshop?

[Super Dragon 64]

Without a doubt. If you like JRPGs, you're in for a treat.

Is Legend of Kay any good?

[Kriken]

"Legend of Kay was met with average to positive reception for the PS2 version. However, the DS version was met with negative reviews. GameRankings and Metacritic gave it a score of 75.86% and 72 out of 100 for the PlayStation 2 version, and 40.50% for the DS version"

[toffeeman30]

Is Legend of Kay any good?

if you mean the wii u version then the games quite average, plays like a ps2 game and looks like a ps2 game. nothing wrong with that, just a little dated
