Gaming Kid Icarus HYPE thread

I'm right-handed, so I'm going to follow your advice.

BTW can you please repost the link without using tinyurl (It's blocked in my country) because according to the previious posts, it's a thumb stylis, right?

Sure no problem. Weird... I didn't know tinyurl was blocked anywhere. I wonder why? You can also find some on ebay (that's where I bought mine)

The GBAtemp review of this game HYPED me to buy it, even though I was hesitant at first, but could someone tell me if I should buy the circle pad pro for this (Does it really effect gameplay a lot?)


EDIT: I didn't read the previous pages, so I don't know if this has been answered.

Circle Pad Pro only offers "left handed play" with the CPP and the touch screen: It doesn't offer dual analog controls (see the last 3 posts), so there's really no point unless you're left handed. However, I do seriously recommend buying one of these, if the stylus is uncomfy for you: http://tinyurl.com/6akryhh

Mine just arrived in the mail today, and the immediate difference I felt in comfort was just phenomenal.

Just checked it out, and it's AWESOME, sooo gonna buy it lol, and I wonder why I didn't know this before now.

As for the blocking, I have no idea why it's blocked here, but while searching just now, I found a site that finds out the original address of tinyurl link: http://untiny.com/

I think this is actually a different brand and design than the DS-phat thumbstrap (which didn't have a point on it), but I could be wrong

I would suggest buying 2 or 3, personally, just in case you lose one. At about $1 a piece, you can't really go wrong!

I was going to buy this game... Then I saw that they had Tales of the abyss in stock (only 12 though!!!) So I ordered it fast as hell and will get it tomorrow

 

[joshstyle]

how are the left-handed controls?

Thanks for the heads up. Does it fit your thumbs perfectly?

Very much so, but keep in mind I have fat fingers. It's tight enough to keep from slipping off, but loose enough to not cut off too much circulation to my thumb.

 

[megavoltaic]

how are the left-handed controls?

For left-handedness, it works pretty well compared to the right hand. When I first started the game, I just had to tweak some stylus controls and it went gr8 from there. I feel like playing left handed is easier on the hand, since you're pressing buttons and not articulating your thumb. I don't even need the stand, I play on the bus all the time!

 

[JulietStMoon]

Also, my personal opinion, aiming is much easier if you set sensitivity of the touch screen to the max. And another perk of using the thumb stylus I showed you is that it gives you complete access of the R button... that way it makes selecting powers easier, since you can use the dpad to scroll and the R button to select the power. Much easier than using the touchscreen, imo.

Finally, SOMEONE HAD THE IDEA of using the thumb stylus.

 

[BoxmanWTF]

got the game 4 hours ago. I friggin love it, makes me laugh while playing it.
I haven't tried together mode yet, but soon...

Do the AR cards give you any in-game bonuses? They seem to be more rare than that Skylanders shit that kids like.

Nope just idols, but you can get rewards from collecting idols.

Got a massive headache yesterday at the Pandora stage. First time I got a headache on 3D. Hahaha.

Intensity9 is hell. Finished my first intensity9 on Chapter1.

 

[ScarletCrystals]

Heh, yeah, it's hard to beat twinbellow on 9 intensity....

Ok, not that hard if you fire 5 giant lasers into his face at the start.

 

[JulietStMoon]

Pandora was definitely one of my favorite chapters thus far! Really creative... the whole level reminded me of Porygon with all the colors and shapes... lol

 

[The Milkman]

My fav chapter has to be Thanatos, he's so stupid its awesome you would think the god of death would be some insane nightmarish repear god, instead he's a transforming chubby guy! Great example of how creative Nintendo devs can be at times!

I gotta say, Viridi is really growing on me as a character. Probably my favorite minor character so far. Her english voice acting is superb

 

[Fyrus]

Spoiler

I gotta say I enjoyed a lot the chapters where you actually control Magnus and Dark Pit, as well as the Lightning Battle and the Aurum invasion ("God, so tired...")
