[OOC] Heroes of Beacon - the Next Chapter

[NaraK]

@Guess Who The NES one was actually one of the games I played a lot during airplane trips! It was one of those games where the game gave you an almost nonexistent helping hand but it was still fun xD

@NarayanK

You know that one area of the game where you have to walk up, left, down, left to proceed to the next area? Accomplished it the first time by accident. Could never figure out how to get through the next time I was there for years later.

@Prince of Seraphs Wow someone actually remembers Four Swords Adventures xD

@NarayanK

It was a decent game, better if you actually had multiple people to play it with though. It's also the only console game with Toon Link (except Wind Waker but I couldn't use that cause WW Link has his own amiibo).

@NarayanK

I'm assuming one of the portable versions like the GBA one right? I don't think you could get an NES and TV in your seat on an airplane. Unless it was a private plan, Narayan did you forget to tell us you were rich?

@Guess Who

I laugh at your folly, you don't need to get through there to beat the game. Later it can serve as a shortcut once you open up the other side but you don't ever have to go through it.

You could probably guess just by my profile pic, but I am a HUGE Legend of Zelda fan.

I can honestly say that I have played and/or beaten every core game, except for Wind Waker and Four Swords (not Adventure, those are two different games)

The ones I have played but not beaten would be Zelda II, Minish Cap, and Link's Awakening.

The rest I have obsessively played over and over and over...

[NaraK]

@Crimson Raven legend of zelda is an easily likable game xD it's not odd to find fans of it on the net!

[Abillioncats]

I want Breath of the Wild so bad.

[Guess Who]

Like I said, only ever played the first LoD game, but if I had a WiiU I'd totally get Breath of the Wild.

@Guess Who

Nintendo Shift

That is the console that BotW is being released on.

WiiU was pretty much a flop.

[Abillioncats]

@Crimson Raven You mean Nintendo Switch

@Crimson Raven

I have a rather large collection of Zelda game including several different versions of every game. The only ones I don't have at least one version of are Four Swords Adventure (I beat most of it but it was on my brother's copy), The Ancient Stone Tablets and of course the CDI games. The latter are difficult to track down, the former I'll be ordering with my next paycheck and the middle is like a hundred and thirty dollars for a decent copy so that'll have to wait for awhile.

The only ones I haven't beaten are Zelda II, Four Swords Adventure (I got to the final dungeon then my memory card got corrupted), Four Swords GBA (didn't have two copies of ALttP), as well as Triforce Heroes and Spirit Tracks (they just weren't worth it).

And they're doing a duel release for Breath of the Wild like they did for Twilight Princess. There will be a copy for both the Nintendo Switch with much improved graphics as well as a less taxing version on the Wii U.

@Prince of Seraphs

Forgot about Triforce heroes. Yeah, that one is not worth it, but Spirt Tracks is very much worth it.

I thought it was a Switch only release, but seems I was wrong.

Mention not the awful CD-I games. They do not exist as far as I am concerned. :P

Seriously, though, you have wasted you money on them. They are bad to the point of unplayable.

@Crimson Raven

I only got a couple of dungeons into Spirit Tracks so my analysis is superficial but from what I saw they took all of the flawed mechanics from Phantom Hourglass and made them ten times worse. Also the half train people freaked me out and the pan pipe instrument was only reliable if you were playing it on a DSi or later, the DS fat and Light had a microphone that wasn't quality enough to pick up you blowing for that long and if it cuts out for even a second you have to start over again.

CD-I games I think get a bad rep, or at least worse than they objectively deserve. I doubt they are on par with most of the Zelda series but I want to play them for myself before making that judgement. Even if the cut scenes are amazingly fun to mock. Just as soon as I can find a complete copy that isn't sealed cause those are so expensive I wouldn't want to open them after buying.

@Prince of Seraphs

Look up play throughs of the games. Plenty of youtubers have made videos about the CD-I games. They are unredeemably bad.

Spirit tracks: Yes, the music instrument parts are annoying, and difficult, but trust me on this one, the game is very good. They took what made Hourglass good, and made it better.

Possibly the only this I have against it, besides the instrument parts, is that early on to past mid way, before you find and unlock most of the warp gates, travel takes waaay too long. But that is a small complaint, since you have plenty of rocks and baddies and rabbits to blast as you travel.
