e ShOP diSCuSSioN (Fixed the title for ye mas)

that's just silly but seeing half the GBA are SNES ports. It makes kinda sense.

@masofdas GBA games are coming to the wii U VC and oddly not 3ds

I think that might be because when Nintendo announced the ambassador games, it was mentioned they wouldn't release GBA games in the future and that they would be exclusive to ambassadors. Though that could have been referring to the 10 free games rather than GBA releases in general.

Two years later, though, and I'm sure every early adopter would rather have GBA VC games rather than feel special about those exclusive GBA ambassador releases, right?

In a word Yep,

So Crimson Shroud, then.

Anyone finding the first Lich to be a massive difficulty spike, or am I just being rubbish?

It's hard to tell.

The problem I had was I think I was overprepared by then, as I spent ages battling the skeletons in the sewer part in chapter 2 (was it chapter 2), where you needed to pick up a rare item drop to progress.

It's the battle immediately after that (or maybe the one after that again, I forget). I can only kill the one skeleton if I'm lucky- and nothing in any other battle is dropping anything interesting so I'm not able to improve on my stats.

Guys, I can't do the first fight on Level 2 of Crimson Shroud! Thought up some tactics but then other games distracted me. Good luck in your quest, beemoh!

I'll let Beemoh handle this one as the game's fresh in his mind, haven't played it since late December myself!

Concentrate on one enemy at a time, kill the weaker ones first (as they're more likely to be replaced with another weak enemy), and if in doubt, go kill some other stuff in the hope they drop something better.

Crimson Shroud was the 1st game i bought for this XL and yet I've still not played.

That's how I was planning to play it next time I took on the fight but then I downloaded Super Little Acorns 3D Turbo. I'll be sure to take your advice when I get back to it!

Downloaded GG Sonic the Hedgehog last week; I'd forgotten just how much effort had gone into it. Fun, tight platforming, and a phenomenal soundtrack.

Also: Super Little Acorns 3D Turbo. Not bad for the sale price, but I think I'd have felt a bit ripped-off paying top whack for it.

Aye I might get that myself.

Bullet hell doesn't appeal to me but then again I do love Geometry Wars. You guys will have to let me know what it's like!
