Wii U

I just got Paula in Earthbound. Yeah, it kinda is a bit of a drag with just Ness, but still fun. Paula starts at level 1 though. Time to start grinding, I guess.

Healing I find to be tough at first because of your painfully limited supply of PP. It also really drags down the combat, too. The game is just too charming to Rage Quit though, and I seem to be past the bad part.

I didn't know there WAS an issue with Peach amiibos, I only know about the Rosalina thing.

Oh, OK.

"Thanks for the lesson. But I don't need you to tell me who I am."

Dat's da joke.

You know, I have to wonder why Pit is obsessed with this site. It’s gonna ruin his life!

See: the previous page's discussion about a guy named Doug Bowser being made NOA's VP of Sales.

If you want to grind Paula to a good level but don't want Ness to become OP, let Ness get killed in Lilliput Steps (After fighting enough enemies for Paula to get a bit stronger) and then have Paula grind solo on the Moles Playing Rough and Mr. Battys for a while.

You cannot firmly grasp the true form of Squidward's technique!

Earthbound...I actually did drop it, because charm aside, the gameplay quibbled me too much.

Planning to buy it on virtual console, since last playthrough was with a perfectly legal copy.

@sterok: Always look in the latest town's shop for gear you can swap out for your current gear.

Talk to everyone as well. It's the way to find the tools needed to advance, and there are delightful bits of corny dialogue.

Same here. Honestly, I'm not sure I really have the patience you need to play an RPG, no matter how much charm it has. The only RPGs I gave ever actually played to completion are most of the Pokémon handhelds and two of the Mario And Luigi games. Most other RPGs I can't get into either due to the setting (e.g. Fire Emblem, The Legend Of Zelda, most traditional RPGs set in medieval times or similar) or due to my impatience with how they need to be played. I could love the story, but if I'm not making story progress fast enough, I can't deal with it. It's a shame, sure, and maybe I'm missing out on a lot of great games that way, but eh.

Insert witty 'n clever quip here.

The Legend of Zelda is an Action Adventure series, not an RPG.

I've seen it classified as such before, and it's close enough to me. But I was really more referring to setting than genre with that one there.

But it plays nothing like an RPG.... It barely even has RPG elements....

I can handle a slow, methodical RPG, but it's the very petty quibbles that turned me off from gameplay.

I didn't like how more enemies spawned if you didn't beat them to a pulp quickly, thus dragging out the fights and I was a bit meh on the inventory management.

It might be me playing it wrong, but there came a point where I just banged my head 'gainst a certain area until I had power-leveled enough to wreck most enemies.

Those complaints are petty, but they built up. Soon enough, the game felt like a slog. It is a shame, because the aesthetic, music, and wonderful wonderful feel was all great. And, again, the game really did shine when you were interacting with the quirky townsfolk, seeing what everyone had to say.

Not every enemy summons reinforcements and it's pretty easy to figure out what enemy does it and specifically target them. As for the second thing, after the first dungeon, I can't think of an area that really forced me to level grind. Some made me consider it in order to lower PP expenditure but I've never really had to so far.

Do you remember what area you were in?

The big slime monster inside the waterfalls.

It probably is just my impatience. I haven't given up on the game, just taking a long breather from it. The help's still appreciated.

Oh, that boss. You should have received some item a bit earlier that, once used, will distract him for several turns. I also think he's particularly weak to PSI Freeze.

The Player's Guide can help you out a lot.

I love Fire Emblem: Awakening and Paper Mario when it comes to RP Gs.

I've been trying to get into Pokemon, but it's a stillborn for me.

You can try Pokemon Mystery Dungeon instead. I've found that to be a lot more enjoyable than the main series games.

If that's DS only I don't know.

I like Pokemon Snap, though.

I picked up Earthbound as one on my "Club Nintendo is shutting down forever" rewards, but I admittedly haven't played it much due to being busy with college and having many other games I wanted to play. I have been thinking of picking it back up though.

Also, Doug Bowser working for Nintendo is the most perfect thing I've ever heard in my entire life. If I ever get a Bowser amiibo, I know what I'm nicknaming him now.

At E3 (or in a nearby Direct), Nintendo reveals this new acquisition is all part of the upcoming Year of Bowser, featuring such soon-to-be-classics as Super Bowser 3-D World, Bowser Party 2, a rerelease of Bowsers Inside Story on the Wii U eShop, Super Smash Bros DLC featuring Mii costumes of Bowser's underlings, Pikmin 3 DLC for a new mission in which Bowser Jr. is a playable character and the Pikmin are replaced with Goombas, Koopa Troopas, and Shy Guys, and a brand new title exclusively in the eShop called Bowser's Board Meeting, in which Bowser must successfully run a meeting with Nintendo's sales department.

Insert witty 'n clever quip here.
