cool little story. also yes, you can still see the whole story after the eshop closure:

- download game and DLC
- play as normal
- buy the game
- if you get the successful purchase animation, continue
- if you get an error that game is no longer available, move on. you won't miss out on any dialogue
- go to home and try to open game
- if you had a successful purchase, you should be able to play as normal
- if you get some form of error: quit game and reinstall the DLC. it will work again when you boot it up

also works with the non-story games. keep haggling and don't just buy the games at full price just because you won't be spending money anymore.

Recommended playstyle: controller in one hand for analog movement, mouse for everything else.

Alright adventure. At least I didn't have to consult a guide.

one time i heard someone say that the 2.5D n64 goemon game was the type of platformer where you could never stop moving and not get hit of you were good enough. i think this game also has that, but in 3D. played with the crt filter on.

the art is goregous, the enemies are cute, the music is great (the classic village theme has a touch of somberness too).

i kept switching between the classic and remake graphics and music. they really did a lot in the remake. i wish i could play with both at the same time.

As part of Metroid Prime Trilogy

just completed this last night at the time of posting. Originally beat it on my old wii u, from a copy borrowed from the library. this is the only star fox game i've beaten so far (i dabbled in assault and 64).

i actually like it! it's a fun arcade game. but i do agree with most criticisms of the game. the gamepad/tv screen interplay doesn't add anything to the experience, and the gyro controls drift too much to be good, only fine. i think the game would be better if you remove the gamepad stuff and improved the gyro controls (like in a switch port i guess).
