This is my situation: http://backloggery.com/main.php?user=sabrecat

But starting this thing up has inspired me to start working on the backlog. New personal rule: only buy one new game for every two I finish!

Yeah, those buggers were a pain and a half. My strategy: ignore them as much as possible. Jump your way through the level without so much as a backward glance. If one of the Metroids catches up to you, go into Morph Ball and drop a Power Bomb, then get back up and keep moving.

With practice (since I then died repeatedly against the final boss, meaning I had to do this a few times), I got to the point where I could engage the Metroids only once, taking two out with one Power Bomb, and that was it.

I keep seeing fans crow about how cool touch screen control is for strategy games, but I found the stylus to be a royal pain for Advance Wars: Dual Strike. The menu items and grid spaces were too small to hit accurately. So in the end I just used the D-pad, and things went much better.

Apparently, like the stereotypical male, Neku thinks with his crotch? So the thought bubbles would seem to indicate!

Good to know my intuitions weren't totally off base, then...

Add to that the bug where you'd get extra turns for no reason, and, well. Let's just say I'm hoping the DS port continues in the above vein!

I welcome this change. The GBA adaptation felt like a cakewalk compared to the SNES version.

(Granted, I don't know how much of that was "nerf" and how much was "growing up and getting better at games", but it was still disappointing.)

+1 not for the attitude (yawn), but for the sheer amusement value of how many generic rehashed criticisms of the Wii you crammed into three sentences. Especially the first epic run-on. Covering all the bases?

I just hope it's a little more like the SNES version than Final Fantasy IV Advance was. The added areas were cute, but overall the game felt like it was made easier for some reason--Magus Sisters, Bahamut, and Zeromus (among others) were all pretty much jokes.

Supposed meaning of this trailer: Sonic transforms into a wolf.

Meaning Sabe took away from this trailer: Mickey Mouse transforms into the Abominable Snowman.

The thing is, in that case it was the author's decision. And he'd probably like to retain that kind of control over his work--not allow the government to dictate what he can and can't publish or how.
