@KratosMD I think second opinion was a remake of under the knife on DS (could be wrong though). I had the DS one and you are right, there is a steep difficulty curve on them, I don't think I ever finished that game but I really enjoyed what I played of it.
I also have new blood on Wii and planned to play it co op with somebody but never got round to it! I did also buy a House M.D game on DS for a few quid a few years back but I never played it so I can't say if it's similar lol
Darkside Chronicles features Re-tellings of Resident Evil 2 and Code Veronica alongside a new side story which is set before Resident Evil 4 @KratosMD
I haven't played Umbrella chronicles myself but I found Darkside Chronicles to be a pretty good on rails light gun game from what I remember! Hope you enjoy them!
@KratosMD I can't remember to be honest, it's probably been about 15-16 (whenever it came out) years since I played it! I could be wrong but I think it was the time constraints that made it difficult, a lot to do in not a lot of time. Well worth playing though, it was pretty unique at the time.
Puzzle & Dragons Z + Super Mario Bros. Edition (3DS)
I think I'm going to start ignoring current gen stuff more in favor of building my 3DS collection, as I'd like to complete my physical set of 3DS games before prices become ridiculous (they already are for a few games, unfortunately).
@Thrillho Definitely. Praise seems extremely high for the Wii entry's story, so I'm particularly curious about it.
Having played the indisputable worst (Sticker Star) and arguable best (Thousand Year Door) entries in the series, I'm really curious to see where everything else lands for me.
@KratosMD I really wanted a remake of Code Veronica over RE4. It needs it!
I'd recommend the game either way, it's a solid entry, though like you say tank controls and overly difficult at times. If that puts you off there is a glitch that's seemingly in every version of the game where you can get an infinite green herb. Removes a whole load of frustration. I'd played the game on release so to go back and just experience it sans hair pulling was nice.
Fire Emblem Echoes: Shadows of Valentia James Noir's Hollywood Crimes Senran Kagura 2: Deep Crimson (I purchased this at launch years ago, but lost my copy when someone stole my case, so I'm finally getting around to repurchasing this) Sushi Striker: The Way of The Sushido
@Ralizah Senran Kagura Blast is one of my absolute guilty pleasures. It’s strangely fun despite the weird bounce physics and surprisingly convoluted plot. They ruined the series though with all those spin offs that were just crap gameplay with a little bit of titillation.
@nessisonett Yeah, the series went downhill when it went overboard on the pervy stuff and flanderized the characters (particularly Yomi, who went from a passionate class warrior to a garden variety weirdo with a beansprout fetish). SK2 is still fairly plot heavily and mostly light(er) on the fanservice, though. And, on a technical level, it was a massive step up over the original, as the character models and environments were fully 3D, and the game ran at a much higher and more stable framerate (I like the two games included in SK Burst, but their performance was awful). Combat is also changed up in interesting ways for this entry, and I love the crazy yoma you fight throughout the game.
It's one of the prettiest third party games on the system.
I'm excited because the sequel to Beneath a Steel Sky launches on Apple Arcade and Steam today. Played a bit at EGX last year and it was great fun. Of course, I've only managed 8 hours in TLOU2 and have a host of other games to play so may need to wait a bit.
Now I may be an idiot, but there's one thing I am not sir, and that sir, is an idiot
@andreoni79 I don’t think I could part with my GameCube games, they were such a big part of my childhood and to be honest, they’re just going to appreciate in value as the years go on anyway!
@nessisonett My brother’s ex-wife nicked a load of my GameCube games and sold them all on eBay. Luckily I’ve since managed to rebuy some of them but Zelda Collector’s Edition is a bit pricey for my liking. Nintendo games always gain a lot of value depending on the rarity. Thankfully I never left Twilight Princess at my Mum’s!
