Lol Uncharted collection with no multiplayer.

I still remember how much fun we had in U2. Beta and full release.

Seriously Nintendoland local multiplayer is excellent and easy for people of any age. Do yourself a favour and nab it if you want something the whole family can enjoy.

These gargantuan, Juan penis-sized game installs remind me constantly that I seriously need to upgrade my HDD. I need a fucking 4 TB one to be done with it.

Steel, I would have said the Zelda bundle if it came with the actual physical game instead of a lame ass download code...but it doesn't. Therefore, it doesn't matter which one you get.

Also, pick up a Pro Pad with the system....for games that don't use the touchscreen, the pro pad is a better option. Not as good as the Gamecube pad, but its a solid controller regardless.

€25, so half as much as a pro controller.  attaches to a wiimote.  Not sure how the Pro pad button layout works, but here the smaller shoulder buttons are used as the standard, and they are a tad out of reach.  Otherwise a very solid and perfect GC controller replica.

I have been wondering about these, but I don't like how its not able to just plug directly into the system like the pro pad. Or used wireless also like the pro pad.

This new Star Wars EU is a piece of shit so far.

Yeah, do not like it.  Let's be controversial for the sake of controversy.

What would you guys think that would be the better deal?

1. A Wii U bundle with SM3dW and Nintendo Land?

2. A Wii U bundle with that zelda game?

3. A Wii U bundle with Nintendo Land and Kirby?

4. A Wii U bundle with Super mario and Super Luigi U?

5. A Wii U bundle with Mk8?

6. a cheaper Wii U only with Nintendo Land?

First five are roughly equally priced.

5.

And then get Bayonetta 2 + 1.

So I know myself and everyone else has been talking Witcher 3 nonstop, but I did start Dino Crisis 3 on the Xbox OG, so I'll tell you guys a bit about this game.

First of all, I can totally see why this game threw off so many people back in 2003, because it really is totally different from the first two games. The first Dino Crisis was basically Resident Evil Code Veronica with dinosaurs. It played exactly like RE, it had fully 3D environments, and it had the same kind of save/inventory/item management systems. Probably a bit harder than RE though.

Dino Crisis 2 was a much more action focused game. Played similar, but if I remember right the game was broken up into levels and you would get credits for how well you did to buy stuff.

Dino Crisis 3 still has the RE vibe that most of Capcom's action/adventure games had back then, but the gameplay is actually much more like Metroid Other M which I wasn't expecting. It was funny too, because I played about an hour of it and kept thinking how much it felt like Other M. I went on Gamefaqs to see if anyone said anything about the difficulty because I was having a hard time on normal. One of the first things I read was some guy saying "Dino Crisis 3 is basically a weaker version of Other M mixed with RE". So I know I'm not crazy...it really DOES feel like Other M. Now, the interesting part is that this game was made 7 years before Other M. Hell, it was made before Metroid Prime Echoes.

But it has the same kind of fast paced 2.5ish shooter gameplay as Other M, complete with a giant map to show you where to go, and a 1st-person lookaround view that, yes, you can stand and shoot from.

You really have to wonder if Team Ninja took the Other M idea from this game.

I like it so far. I'm about 2 hours into it, but I started over on easy mode because honestly, normal was annoying me. It takes place way in the future and you find a derelict ship in outter space with dinos all over it. Oh yeah, this is why the game also reminds you of Dead Space...the setting.

But in this game, you'll enter a room and dinos will just magically appear out of thin air. They're very quick, and they try to ram you constantly. When they do, it drains like half of your health bar and health isn't easy to come by. That's why I changed the difficulty. It honestly seems like Capcom designed the game super hard because it was an Xbox exclusive, and Xbox back then was the hardcore system. Japanese companies in particular seemed to think that meant everything needed to be super frustrating. But whatever...

After toning it down to easy mode, I'm enjoying it much more. Its still challenging. The controls take some getting used to...very odd setup. You have a jetpack on your back that you can use to blast around quickly, as well as jump to high ledges. That's done with the right trigger. Shooting is mapped to the X button, 1st person view is mapped to the right stick button, etc. There's save stations just like Metroid, where you save your game, get new data, get points to spend on upgrading weapons and gear, and more.

The game is also quite good looking, which is expected from Capcom on the Xbox:

Will play more when I peel myself from Witcher 3.

Funny enough I also started Dino Crisis 3 about a month ago and got about 2 hours into it before the old-ass mechanics wore me down. But I was initially very impressed with it.
