Yeah, and the surprise after 10 will have you pounded with Lolz
Also this game is HARD. I mean I know it has a difficulty slider and all but on normal there's bottem barrel shit in every chest you pass but after 5 (where you start getting awesome stuff) I barely make it through the flying segments.
Dude, no matter what I do, I can't beat any chapter on intensity level 5... I always start with 5, and I usually die halfway through, then get downgraded to 4. My personal rule is that I start each chapter one intensity level beyond what I completed the previous one on (id est, if I complete chapter 5 on intensity level 4, I start chapter 6 on intensity level 5). Hopefully I get better. :P

In the meantime, this game is insane! Nintendo 3DS's new killer app (replacing OoT 3D) for sure!
Hey! You still owe me a online match mr. cant-beat-level-5-need-moar-dual-sticks :P

Yeah, it is pretty hard! I usually struggle beating stuff on 6, but I can pull through with some practice. Some I can do higher, like chapter 2 I did 7.0 which wasn't too hard. Chapter 1 is very beatable even on 9.0.

I think part of the reason I'm doing so well is that I got a Compact Arm valued at 280 on the 23/24th. I think I got it online... :unsure:

I don't really play shooters, but this seems a lot like one to me. At least when using some weapons. Also this could be just me, but it seems like I wouldn't like this game as much with the CPP. It plays very well with the stylus! Wouldn't it be harder to move the reticle around with the CPP?

This game is a lot of fun for me. As a lefty I am struggling a little to find my sweet spot with the controls. I would consider getting a circle pad pro if I could find one in the stores here. Every GS in town is out of them.

yes the newer zelda games did retain more of the original elements of the old nes ones , overworld, underworld, items, exploration, etc,zelda games always translated great from nes to snes to n64 etc,
if they wanted to make a mediocre shooter they should have called it something else, i was expecting it to have some elements of the 1st game, it has none, the underworld levels are so boring and linear, there is no , map, and compass , or pencil and torch, no hospital to remove the eggplant curse, the game should have had underworld levels ,more like a zelda game ,not just arrows that point the way to go all the time,you can say its an old nes game but it was one of the few games that was ahead of its time, one of the few with a save feature ,like zelda and metroid, and simons quest,with save codes, and im not the only one disappointed with the horrible control ,nintendo has developed some really great control engines why use this POS? it makes no sense,if they had to think to include a stand that should have been their 1st clue that the control was going to be a problem, its common sense
reminds me of the virtual boy fiasco , a portable game you cant play as portable without a table, you think they would learn from their mistakes instead they always repeat them

i was expecting it to be more like windwaker control engine for ground,and a different control for flying ,it may not be the worst game but it is a major F up for ninty, the game was in development for so long ,and it was hyped to no end, and people had much higher expectations , for them to drop this bomb is a disgrace,

You do realize that the NES original was WAY more linear than Uprising, right? I mean, come on, you DIE if you try to go back down to where you were in the NES original. You can only travel in one direction: How is that NOT linear?

And comparing it to the Virtual Boy is pretty ridiculous, considering how the Virtual Boy was a complete critical and commercial failure, whereas Uprising is making money and almost universally amazing reviews.

And can you explain WHAT mistakes Nintendo is repeating over and over? You're throwing around the "Nintendo F-ed up" argument (despite the fact that the vast majority of people besides you who played this game seem to seriously like it), but you're not explaining WHAT repeated mistakes Nintendo made here.

So either get a circle pad pro or a screen protector when i get this game I guess? XD
My understanding is that, for some reason, the circle pad pro only offers left-handed analog with touchscreen aiming... for some bizarre reason that I can't fathom, it doesn't offer dual analog controls for moving and aiming.

If you ever used the buttons to move and the slider to aim its pretty clear that dual sticks does not suit this game, I'm pretty sure that's why he didn't put it in.

Yeah, but I think it would still be nice to have the option. I personally wouldnt use it, simply because I dont own (or plan to get) a CPP. But it would still be nice.

At any rate, My thumb styli came in today, and it's SO much comfier, and just as accurate as the regular stylus... with the regular stylus, my hands would start to cramp up about 10 minutes into the game, meanwhile i just played for about 45 minutes with no cramping whatsoever. It makes me wonder why Nintendo didn't just include a thumb stylus instead of a stand... Much more practical imo, and probably a bit cheaper to produce too.

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.

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?

  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    Do I restart now using what i've learned on the EU version since it's a better overall experience? or do I continue with the US version since that is what ive been using, and if someone decides to play my hack, it would most likely be that version?
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    @TwoSpikedHands, I'll preface this with the fact that I know nothing about the game, but, I think it depends on what your goals are. Are you trying to make a definitive version of the game? You may want to refocus your efforts on the EU version then. Or, are you trying to make a better US version? In which case, the only way to make a better US version is to keep on plugging away at that one ;)
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    I'm not familiar with the technicalities of the differences between the two versions, but I'm wondering if at least some of those differences are things that you could port over to the US version in your patch without having to include copyrighted assets from the EU version
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    @Sicklyboy I am wanting to fully change the game and bend it to my will lol. I would like to eventually have the ability to add more characters, enemies, even have a completely different story if i wanted. I already have the ability to change the tilemaps in the US version, so I can basically make my own map and warp to it in game - so I'm pretty far into it!
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I really would like to make a hack that I would enjoy playing, and maybe other people would too. swapping to the EU version would also mean my US friends could not legally play it
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I am definitely considering porting over some of the EU features without using the actual ROM itself, tbh that would probably be the best way to go about it... but i'm sad that the voice acting is so.... not good on the US version. May not be a way around that though
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I appreciate the insight!
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    @TwoSpikedHands just switch, all the knowledge you learned still applies and most of the code and assets should be the same anyway
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    and realistically they wouldn't

    be able to play it legally anyway since they need a ROM and they probably don't have the means to dump it themselves
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    why the shit does the shitbox randomly insert newlines in my messages
  • Veho @ Veho:
    It does that when I edit a post.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    It inserts a newline in a random spot.

    never had that i don't think
  • Karma177 @ Karma177:
    do y'all think having an sd card that has a write speed of 700kb/s is a bad idea?
    trying to restore emunand rn but it's taking ages... (also when I finished the first time hekate decided to delete all my fucking files :wacko:)
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    @Karma177 that sd card is 100% faulty so yes, its a bad idea
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    even the slowest non-sdhc sd cards are a few MB/s
  • Karma177 @ Karma177:
    @The Real Jdbye it hasn't given me any error trying to write things on it so I don't really think it's faulty (pasted 40/50gb+ folders and no write errors)
