I've always wondered why some dedicated folks didn't form a company called the Graphical remake Company and just adapted classic games for different publishers.

There's your ticket to fame and ridiculous amounts of pussy my friend.

as a ticket of fame it clearly doesn't work, since neither of you mentionned JustAddWater: www.jawltd.com

Downloaded NES Remix 2 for the Wii U as my Platinum Status gift. I really enjoyed the first one so I figured that I may as well complete the set.

Just as we're talking about it there is this article:

http://www.eurogamer.net/articles/digitalfoundry-2015-wind-waker-hd-and-gamecube-remasters

It details a company called Hexadrive in Osaka that helped with WW and Okami HD ports.

I bought Batman - Arkham Origins (WiiU)

I have only played Arkham Asylum and I own but haven't yet played Arkham City, but for under 10 euro it was impossible to resist.

Thank you Travo.  I hope to do so, sometime in the not too distant future!

Play City.

You might not want anymore Batman games after that.

I played Asylum.

I did not want anymore Batman games after that.  That's why City has remained unplayed all this while.  All in good time WinkWink

Not buying any new consoles anytime soon so you never know when ye olde backlog will come in handy!

If you didn't like Asylum then hopes of liking City are miniscule.

Not really. Pretty different games.

I did like Asylum, at least I sort of liked it.  I wouldn't have played it through to the end otherwise.  I expected much better though from all the praise that was showered on it.  Didn't like how "button-mashy" the action was.  Game just basically played itself.  Though it wasn't the only game guilty of that.  It's how a lot of mainstream action games became over the last ten years or so.

Combat imo is actually a weak link in the Batman series. The exploration & puzzle elements are much stronger. probably why I prefer being stealthy & avoiding fights as much as possible.

As this forum doesn't specify video games: I bought around 50 Yu-Gi-Oh! cards (one starter deck and one booster pack) for $17. It's been years since I last played with someone in person, but I'll have the chance soon.

I'd pay $50 a month to have someone I could play Magic: The Gathering With. Good that you have lined someon up for Yu-Gi-Oh!. CCG in real world are are great time.

Agreed, City is much worse.

Well, City is the same.

Enjoy!

Magic: The Gathering is very popular at the house I'm in. So popular that I was given hundreds of spare cards for free.

More games shopping therapy Sad

Bought GTAV for PS3 even though I said I wouldn't get it.  This will really be the last GTA game I ever buy if I fail to get into it (You don't know how many times I have said this before.  Have bought every GTA game from III onwards - including the two PSP games - and I only finished Chinatown Wars on the DS ... but boy did I love that game!)  I feel pangs of buyer's remorse already.

I also went on pre-order binge for WiiU games:  Yarny Yoshi, Klay Kirby, and Squidgy Splatoon!

No buyer's remorse here yet, I want to have as close to a complete collection of WiiU titles (which are worth playing) as possible as I sadly don't think there will be all that many more to come.  What's there to look forward to after X and Zelda?  But yeah, I should start playing the ones I have before I complain about having nothing to play.

Next purchases planned I think will be some 3DS games I have been sort of wanting.  Funnily enough another Kirby and another Yoshi game as chance would have it ... and I also want Bravely Default and Persona Q (see what you do to me Leo?) as well as that weird strategy hybrid game STEAM (SWYDTML?) as well as SMTIV download (SWYDTML?).

There are also some downloadable games and DLC I have been wanting from the Nintendo eShop but all in good time.

You're literally talking about 100's of hours of gameplay with those 3DS games alone! I hope you get 'em and I hope you love 'em! Persona and Shin Megami are EXCELLENT!

Default and STEAM can be acquired tastes, but I love them too!

You have to let me know what you think when/if you get them when/if you play them!
