Official "What Game(s) Should I Get?" Topic, Nintendo Console Edition

[CAH]

Wee, first post!!

Anyways, I'm deciding wether or not to get Wii Sports Resort. I'm leaning towards not getting it, considering I got bored of the original Wii Sports pretty quickly, but I just want to know if it's worth it. I mean, will I be playing it for a long time, or will I start getting bored of it fairly quickly?

How long does Wii Sports Resort last? I've heard that it gets old really fast, which is not worth it in my opinion. Or should I just bag this whole ordeal and get Carnival Games?

Wii Sports Resort is good at first but gets boring quickly. The sword game is great and so is they flying around the island but even they get boring after you've done them for a while. Whats more, you need two motion plus things to play it with a friend anyway.

Should I get NSMB or SM64DS?

Depends on if you prefer side scrolling platformers (NSMB) or platoformers which let you freely explore (SM64DS). Also if you've already played SM64 on the N64 i'd try out NSMB for something new as the remake is great but its still pretty similar

I'm just wondering, but which game is better for GameBoy Advance.

Donkey Kong Country or Yoshi's Island: Super Mario Advance 3? Also if the latter is chosen, should I choose Yoshi's Island DS over Super Mario Advance 3?

Never played Donkey Kong Country, but in my opinion Yoshi's Island Super Mario Advance 3 is tons better than Yoshi's Island DS

Been thinking about what games to add to my Wii-Games collection, so was just wondering how people rate; Sports Resort, Super Mario Galaxy, Super Smash Bros. Brawl, Sonic Unleashed and Sonic and the Black Knight?

Wii Sports Resort: Average. Some games are great, others aren't. Generally doesn't last too long

Super Mario Galaxy: Brilliant. My favourite Wii game. If you like mario games and platformers you'll love this. Even if you don't, this game may change your mind

Super Smash Bros Brawl: Brilliant, especially for multiplayer. The best beat 'em up game you'll find. You're missing out if you don't have this!

Sonic Unleashed: Terrible, especially the Werehog levels. If they'd put only sonic levels in it could have been decent, but seriously the werehog and the story suck. If you like sonic don't play this game, you don't want your opinion of him to be blemished

Sonic and the Black Knight: I'd lost faith in sonic by the time this had come out so didn't buy it..........



Now its my turn. Can anyone recommend any good Wiiware or virtual console games (if its a mario game, don't bother, I likely already have it)?

[Gigachu]

Um should I get Super Mario Galaxy, Paper Mario (Wii), or MK Wii? They all sound like good games but i can only buy 1.

[Silent Conversation]

^ If you can only buy one, then I'd go with SMG. It's a really long and fun game, with amazing gameplay, really cool levels, awesome techniques and use of gravity, plus a few unexpected twists.

[Torpoleon]

I've been considering to get Mario and Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story later in 2009. I am not sure if I should get it though. Is it a really great game? I know it's only been out for a day though.

Get Galaxy. It's a really good game with great music and gameplay.

[Nidoprince]

I have a few questions. Which is the best out of these from order best to least?

Legend of Zelda Orcania of Time
Legend of Zelda Wind Waker
Legend of Zelda Orcania of Time Majora's Mask

I imagine the folks here on Serebii would know, so I came here. Help would definatly be appreciated!

[Waldorf]

Legend of Zelda Orcania of Time
Legend of Zelda Wind Waker
Legend of Zelda Orcania of Time Majora's Mask
Legend of Zelda Phantom Hourglass

You're just asking for a fanboy war there. Everyone's got different opinions.

However, in my opinion, Wind Waker, Ocarina of Time, and Majora's Mask are fantastic games and all are worth playing. Phantom Hourglass, not so much.

[Torpoleon]

Can anybody help me with my suggestion? In case most of you did not know, I was asking if Mario and Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story was a good game because I was considering to get it really soon.

[Nidoprince]

^I wanna know too. I'm not gonna pre order it, I'm going to see the ratings first.

I took Phantom Hourglass out, because I realized I'm getting that one for a handheld Zelda Game, seeing the new one doens't look that great. I can easily get OoT and MM off WiiWare, but does anyone know if they still have used copies of WW in used game stores? *Checks official Gamestop website* Well, they do. But, I have a question that could help me decide. Like in the Twilight Princess game (my only Zelda game), the gameplay style is playing as regular Link and playing as wolf Link as well. So what is the gameplay style in MM, WW, and OoT?

It's about the same, but without Wii controls and no wolf form?

[Nidoprince]

Yea, but what I mean is like don't you have masks to use in Majora's Mask? Stuff like that.

[Rosemary]

Hello

I'm thinking about buying a new game for my Ds Lite since I only have one since I bought it, I saw a game called " My French Coach" I always liked french, but I'm not so sure about buying it , it is actually value the price or should I buy something else ?.
Thank you.

Get it. It's an Awesome game. If you liked any of the other Mario and Luigi games or the Paper Mario Games, You''l love this for sure.

Yea, but what I mean is like don't you have masks to use in Majora's Mask? Stuff like that.

Using masks in Majora's Mask is like using Items in every other game.
eg. Bomb Mask blows shit up.
But other Masks are used to fulfill Sidequests such as the Couple's Mask stopping the argument in Town hall.

Ocarina is very standard as far as Zelda games go. Twilight Princess has Link turning into a wolf at some points in the game to advance the plot while Wind Waker involves sailing to travel from place to place.

There's a lot of games tha are good that I never got, I'm not sure about this one, if I want to spend the extra money...mabye, if I don't know what to spend my Best Buy gift certificate.

Sounds cool...

STOP! That's what I've wanted to try out since I got Twilight Princess. I just might get that one.

Twilight Princess has Link turning into a wolf at some points in the game to advance the plot while Wind Waker involves sailing to travel from place to place.

I heard that the sailing in Wind Waker is annoying. Is it true?


I've made my final decission! Once I complete Twilight, I will get a Wii point pack of 2000 and get Ocarina and Majora's mask, then buy Wind Waker eventually, sometime after Ocarina.

[Alzi]

Personally Nidoprince i would play it like this:

OOT
MM
WW
TP

But in a fanboy way it most likley will be like this:

WW
MM
OOT
TP

[Nidoprince]

I already have TP unfortunatly. That's exactly how I want to play it, your way. Mabye switch MM and WW, but yes, that's how I'll do it. I just have to complete TP, which will take a while. It's a really hard game for me. :/

EDIT: I am trying to get a good handheld game for trips and stuff when I realized that all my good games are on my Wii or PS3. So, here's one more question: If I could get one of these games, which would be best?

Mario and Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story
Any Legend of Zelda handheld

I'm really getting in to my current Twilight Princess game, but I'm never in the house so much to play it. I heard Bowser's inside story was good too. Please help!

[Alzi]

Get Bowser's Inside Story.

That shall be extremly good.

[~Spacial_Rendation~]

But in a fanboy way it most likley will be like this:

WW
MM
OOT
TP

No. That is a Serebii Fanboi's way. A regular fanboy would probably have:

OoT
TP
MM
WW.


I have a few questions. Which is the best out of these from order best to least?

Legend of Zelda: Orcania of Time
Legend of Zelda: Wind Waker
Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask

I imagine the folks here on Serebii would know, so I came here. Help would definatly be appreciated!

Yeah I Highly recommended WW and MM, as both are pretty interesting and fun, MM abundance in side quests and it's dark n' sinister storyline makes it one of my personal favorites but the three day time limit MIGHT put you off, In WW the exploration is remarkable, but you might not like the sailing aspect. If you can find WW and finish it, I would recommend OoT, the story isn't as good as MM and the exploration isn't as good as it is in WW, it's still a great game to pick up and play.

Zelda game are (Almost) always going to be fine quality adventure games. The only Zelda games I thought were bad were Zelda II which was just bleh and those awful CD-i games.

So, I have a Wii that I've been playing PBR on, but I'm starting to get tired of Pokemon. I want another RPG. The thing is, I like a game where I can take on a support role. I like playing healers in RPGs or MMORPGs. Are there options for something like that on the Wii or am I left looking at other consoles or PC games?

[Nidoprince]

^I haven't played any games like that, especially on Wii. I can give you a bunch of good RPGs on the Wii, just not any ones with like, healers and stuff. I would definatly look for PC and online games if I were you. I used to play Runescape at one point in time, and you could do a lot in that, but the reason I quit is that it gets boring after a while. Especially if you wanna be good, it's like another job you're not paid to do. But anyway, I heard World of Warcraft is good, but you need a lot of the right equipment to get the best of it (Gaming computer, graphic chip, special keyboard, special mouse, etc.). You could look online or in a gaming store for one, they have a bunch of popular ones.


EDIT: I just got Bowser's inside story, and let me tell you: it is a great game. It's better than I expected it even. The best thing is that it's a turn-based RPG, but it's even better than Pokemon's turn-based style. It's kind of "Actiony" turn-based. I can't explain it, you have to see it for yourself. And also, the surprise for me is that Bowser is the main character, Mario and Luigi are like the side characters, you don't play with them in most levels. And to be honest, the Bowser levels are better. So that's my review on the game so far. Hope this helps anyone who is thinking of buying this!
