Re: The 3DS Proves to Be a Popular Music Player in Japan

Sherman

"Tell us your controversial opinions with a comment below."... why "controversial"?
Anyways, my little sister uses her 3DS as a music player all the time. She uses YouTube a lot too. She uses it even more than her computer as her multimedia platform of choice, actually. So, this is not weird to me at all.

Re: Amazon amiibo Pre-Orders Hint at Three More Retailer-Exclusive Figures

Sherman

I think exclusivity is good when you give an extra, like "Buy Shulk here and get a free weapon for the Xenoblade Chronicles port". That's awesome, a plus. But to limit the figure to only one retail store? That's plain stupid.

P.S.: @ThomasBW84, the subtitle says "Rosalina and Luma, Lucario and Meta Knight", but the news is about Rosalina and Luma, King Dedede and Meta Knight. Also, King Dedede IS available at Amazon.

Re: Our Nintendo Life Begins...

Sherman

So, this is where all started
A lot of new faces... or old... I don't know! People I haven't seen before. I guess they went away.
A nice piece of history.
The road's been long, but the reward far more greater. I'm happy to be part of this community... this family.

Re: Video: Son Of A Glitch Takes Apart The Wind Waker HD

Sherman

I love bugs and glitches, but I just use them for fun, to see if I can do them and get a few laughs and then reset the game. Like in Mario 64, man, that game had tons of bugs! And it was so fun flying around with your cap in your hand. Carrying MIPS (the rabbit) around all the castle. Gettin a 1-up each time you die... those where the days.

I do remember using the glitch for jumping rooms in the original Link's Awakening though. I was just a kid back then and didn't know any English at all (not our main language in México) and I could not read the instructions to make this stairs in the second dungeon to appear by getting rid of the Pols Voice, then the Keese and the Stalfos last in that order. I beat the game the fair way a few years later though.

Re: Book Review: Hardcore Gaming 101 Presents: Castlevania

Sherman

I love stuff like this. Something you can pick in your hands and really feel it, smell it. There's nothing like it. I like to have physical games and I love the booklets they come with. Sadly, all that is disappearing very quickly. Soon there won't be anything but digital stuff. I hate that idea so much.

Re: More PDP GameCube-Style Wired Fight Pads Pay Homage to Donkey Kong, Link, Samus and Wario

Sherman

Link: Too much green, very ugly green. I don't like it.
Samus: Too much orange, not a lot of other colors. I don't like it
Wario: Too much yellow, needs more purple on top. I... like the idea of a Wario controller.
DK: Now, that's a very good combination of colors. The brown and beige combo with a hint of red. The sticks and D-pad with a very nice color, unlike the other ones in black. So generic. The Link one has them in grey but with that green... it just doesn't work. DK was the onw who nailed it.

Re: Weirdness: Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS Explains Why 'Metroid' Can't Crawl

Sherman

Is a reference to the movie Taken, @SanderEvers.
After the main character's daughter is taken, the guy who kidnapped the girl takes the her phone and starts listening. So, the main character says this: "I don't know who you are. I don't know what you want. If you are looking for ransom, I can tell you I don't have money. But what I do have are a very particular set of skills, skills I have acquired over a very long career. Skills that make me a nightmare for people like you. If you let my daughter go now, that'll be the end of it. I will not look for you, I will not pursue you. But if you don't, I will look for you, I will find you, and I will kill you."
Do you get it now?

@The_Ninja
"The spine-chilling sound they emit (is) difficult to describe". No "is" I guess.

Obviously the guy from Miiverse (Pauly) was joking. He called the Metroids "Samus", so, he knew who Samus and what a Metroid was from the very beginning. Still a cool wink there from Nintendo. What is even funnier is that only half the people here seems to get the joke
