WRUP: A month to E3

@A Sandwich

I didn't mind the waggle at all, but I also played (and completed!) Twilight Princess while high on painkillers and sick with mono. It made the game awesome!

@Colin

That's essentially how I completed FFIX, except it wasn't mono, it was that I had my wisdom teeth extracted. I don't remember much except one guy had a tail. A tail!

@Foetoid

Your list looks like mine haha. I'm almost a liar when I call myself a gamer. Heck. I watch my friends play games more than I play them myself.

*stares at massive backlog of games*

@FinalFantasyXIIIsucks its great

I'd like to know how that compares to DKCR and NSMBWii, if you wouldn't mind taking the time.

@A Sandwich
For some reason Joystiq ate two of my posts, unless they show up and then I'll have redundant posts. Anyways, long story short, it's fun. Just as good as those two.

@TraceurRyuk Part III

I'll have to look it up then. Thanks!

@A Sandwich
First off, I love its detailed animation. I definitely prefer its graphics over NSMBW's and DKCR's.
It certainly puts more emphasis on "speedrunning", if you will, as every level has an "escape sequence" where you have to get back to the beginning of the level under a time constraint. Most of the time you go a different path though.
There are missions in every level that are comparable to achievements. Some of them are really hard but all the missions are optional though and only unlock the soundtrack.
The controls are as smooth as you would expect them to be from a Wario-platformer. Essentially, the controls are those of Wario Land 4 with a few motion controls added. Just like in DKCR and NSMBW, you always hold the controller sideways and just flick or turn the controller when certain moves are required.
Musically, I find WLSI to be the most appealing. It comes with all kinds of genres and draws some nice but subtle inspirations from other Wario/Mario games here and there, but other than NSMBW and DKCR it comes with a lot of new music.
Overall I prefer WLSI but if you don't play the optional missions or unlock the secret levels then it won't be as hard as DKCR. It also won't take you as long to beat; I don't remember exactly but I recall reading about people beating the game in 5-6 hours without secret levels and missions. It took me about 15 hours at minimum to get 100% in the game.
Hope I helped.

Hmm. I do love SW Battlefront. Do they have a single player bot mode like Battlefront did?

@Misfit Toy

Sure do!
