So, they're letting us buy games that weren't available in the UK on first release. Does this not make a mockery of the excuses why we can't have the superior 60Hz borderless releases? VC is great but I tend to steer clear of the games presented on letter-vision. I may not have known better in the day, but emulation has spoilt me.

I've just spent all morning playing Freshly-Picked Tingle's Rosy Rupee Land (for I think thats what it's called) ...

Shits all over Mario & Luigi RPG. This is what it's all about. I almost wish I had to go on a long train journey now to play it with no distractions. Ho yus. This is some imaginative stuff, and it's actually funny; and not 'Intelligent Systems' funny. i.e. it's played totally straight. Ha! Well, as straight as Tingle can get.

mysterious voice at the start wrote:Hey! You! Yes you, the 35 year old man.

Tee hee!

/me bounces for a fortnight at the prospect of sin and punishment, then wonders why I don't just go and play Panzer Dragoon Orta now.

Seriously though that's great news. Gradius III is welcome also.

whahu?

You dont find the idea of a Princess with her speach replaced by bombs imaginative? Or inflating mario with water only to smash it out with a hammer funny? Or a constantly depressed Lugia because everyone only knows him as "the green guy" or "the other dude" ?

I choose to take your whole post as ironic, its the only way it can fit into my concept of the universe.
SuperStarSage was one of the funniest games I ever played on a console. (sub-monkey island and a few pc stuff, though)

Hehe - looks like my VC boycott could be ending!

Now give us our Stars-to-Points, Ninty!

Yeah, I noticed they didnt reply to my email last time I spend one.

A few more vollys from people would help, at least show them we havnt forgotten about it.

Woo, I got Super Paper Mario! I've only done a bit so far, but it oozes quality.

One thing though - I put the disc in, and it did a system update. Ook? What was that about then?

Wait until you play the game Swith just played and meet the young girl who was "Playing with her fairy".

On the other hand I did find Superstar Saga very funny too

Tingle is a very different kind of funny and the game actually managed to make me feel dirty playing it

I'm still going to play it some more though.

It has quite an unusual take on combat too

Very refreshing.

Nope.

Nope. I'm not 8.

Ok, that was funny.

Dude, it wasn't ironic. I don't find the same stuff funny as you do. Takes a lot. I'm a massive humour snob, I find most peoples imagination shockingly lacking especially in game design and I'm not easily pleased.

Playing Tingle makes you feel icky, like Pete Townsend must have 'researching' his book. It ain't right, its not M.O.R. farmed off 3rd party Nintendo shit running off old jokes and CBeebies humour.

Honestly now, I played Super Paper Mario for half an hour last night. What a fucking abortion of a game. There's an introduction as fucking weak and long winded as I've ever seen which could have been summarised in one paragraph, then when you FINALLY get to world 1-1 its admittedly 'brillent' until once again the flow of the game is completelty broken with more unnecessarily long typical Intelligent Systems dialogue.

I'm right.

Swith should go back to Planescape Torment and leave paper mario to the rest of us
