GameSaga writes: "All-in-all though, Mario Golf: World Tour is a pretty fun game if you like golf or more specifically the Mario Golf games at all. It’s best played in pick up and play type of sessions in GameSaga's opinion. This is probably not a game you will be playing for 10 hours straight like an MMORPG or anything like that, but it’s not that type of game of course, but there’s still plenty of content to unlock. The game features several unlockable characters and courses. GameSaga didn’t particularly like the unlocking method in Mario Golf: World Tour."
Stan at GameSpew: There’s so many Mario sports games out there, but we’ve narrowed them down to the top 10. The Premier League standard of Mario sports games, if you will.
VGChartz's Evan Norris: "During the course of the eighth generation, Nintendo has made several questionable DLC moves that have realigned the Japanese gaming giant with its competitors. Those who criticized Sony, Microsoft, EA, Ubisoft, Warner Bros. and Activision for ugly DLC practices - myself included - can no longer defend Nintendo without being hypocritical. Right now, Nintendo is part of the problem."
I love Super Smash, i did think the DLC was a little overpriced, then again, if we look at any other fighting game, any dlc character is pretty much around the same prices, and i have to say, between paying overpriced DLC for supersmash, or not having dlc for supersmash, i prefer the 1 one. The only thing i felt nintendo did wrong, was not promote the "package" of all the dlc content for cheaper than buying single dlc.
Agreed: the sheer amount of content in the full bundle pack, which includes all content from this update for BOTH versions of the game, made the price it went for, precisely $29.16, well worth paying.
Buying everything separately would have cost astronomically more, and all of this content was made after the full game was released.
That's not something we can say about a lot of other DLC pieces.
Yeah, this set was still a bit pricey, but I'd say the amount in the bundle, across both games, was worth that entry price.
Also, I can't believe this guy had the gall to say that MK8 was incomplete because the DLC wasn't included from the start.
It's widely regarded as one of the best examples of DLC done right BECAUSE the DLC was made after the fact, rather than ready day 1 but held back in order to sell it.
I agree, Mario kart, had some of the best, cheapest DLC ever released, i mean, it was 50% of the whole game released in dlc. for 12 euros.
While super smash is pushing it a little bit, i am still okai with it, because i really love the game, and i am really happy that thanks to DLC they continue to work on the game and also balance it.
Also something people seem to have left on the side, is that, they actually offered some free content with the update ( Only musics) but still, free content! Plus no one is forced to buy it all, just buy what you like.
Nintendo does the same crap as the others, they are just better at timing and marketing the milking contents and the release dates of the dlc.
"It was seen widely as DLC done right - rich in content and low in cost. Still, the additional tracks, characters, and stages could have been included on disc, had Nintendo planned more judiciously, or at the very least provided free to consumers who paid $60 expecting a complete package."
Mario Kart 8 WAS a complete package. it surely did justify its 60$ price tag. the dlc packs were made AFTER the game was finished and released.
Look Nintendo are doing dlc after being mocked for not doing it basically not keeping up with the times in the digital space now their a major player with eshop,dlc,streaming events ie Treehouse,Directs,ect,NNID,ami ibo,MiiVerse,ect are all very popular on WiiU and soon as Nintendo start charging for their dlc characters ect everyone starts crying look they are charging peanuts for them and at the same time giving you lots of worth while free dlc so i don't see Nintendo as the same as the rest.
If Nintendo didn't do DLC, that would be a headline of many articles. It would be the same as the Wii U's online (Why don't Nintendo have trophies, urg?). Nintendo is damn if they do, damn if they don't.
i'd love for the wiiu to have trophies or achievements of some sort. Its a great way to track progress or to share with friends. I love how the xbox one now you get to unlock collectible artwork when you unlock achievements. Great for wallpapers.
Miiverse stamps.
That's really the only form that Nintendo's achievement system should take: any stamps you've earned in a game would be kept in an album that you can pull from on any Miiverse post, while others can view said album on your profile.
Trophies you can actually USE.
The thing is that key story elements are not scrapped from the original games, which were released before the dlcs were announced. Moreover, the characters in smash and the maps in mario kart are well worth their money.
In celebration of the release of Nintendo's New 3DS, the Short Pause staff weighs in on their ten favorite 3DS games. Did your favorite game(s) make the list? If not, let them know which games they should play next in anticipation of their next list!
I'm sure we'll catch some flak from the Pokemon community for not having any of those games listed. I'm about to start Pokemon Y though, and judging by all the love and praise it's received, it could very well find its way into our Top 10 next time we revisit it! Any other 3DS suggestions?
senran kagura burst BEST 3d game on the 3ds why else would u want to play 3d games other then that title
I'm a long time Nintendo fan, but for whatever reason - age, work, family, friends, hobbies, etc, etc, I never got round to picking up a 3DS - in any of its variations. Anyway, that all changed yesterday. The 'regular' New 3DS (black) is what I went for, though I had my choice of all other models, even the Majora's Mask version. I decided on this model for a few reasons. Faceplates, SNES themed buttons and (for me) the XL just felt that bit too big, cumbersome. I bought A Link Between Worlds in anticipation a couple weeks back. So, down to it. I've only had roughly 30 mins/1 hour playtime, but from that time...WOW. The 3D is incredible, really, really is. Just looks and feels a classic Nintendo product, a real nod to the past while embracing the new. Next up on my to do list...Luigi's Mansion 2 and Pokemon Y...I cant wait!
I'm anxious as hell to start Pokemon Y as well, but the more I play Monster Hunter 4 Ultimate, the more I wonder if I'll have time for anything else! The game is crazy addicting!
Agreed. I cant even risk starting up on a game such as Monster Hunter 4 - no matter how much I want. My time for gaming these days is few and far between. Regarding Luigi's Mansion however. I hope that it is at least as good as its predecessor...that game blew me away on initial release, all the little details and innovations. Saying that, my very early impressions of A Link Between Worlds have surpassed expectations.
1) Monster Hunter 4 Ultimate
2) Zelda Link Between Worlds
3) Fire Emblem Awakening
4) Zelda Majora's Mask
5) Kid Icarus Uprising
6) Super Smash Bros
7) Donkey Kong Country Returns
8) Mario Kart 7
9) Bravely Default
10) Luigi's Mansion Dark Moon
And a definite must play notation for the upcoming
1) Xenoblade Chronicles
2) Code Name STEAM
3) Fire Emblem IF
