I don't really get how giving people the option to play with a more modern control style for the new Resident Evil remaster takes away from the "spirit of the game" or how it really affects anybody in any meaningful way for others to have the option to avoid tank controls. If that somehow ruins the game, then it was never any good to begin with.

If it was much cheaper I'd just recommend the Wii version but it's about the same price as RE-REmake. Having played the original to death I'm probably not going to go for HD until it's way cheaper. One new costume per character and the very minor graphical changes just aren't worth it to me. The new control option is against the spirit of the game in my opinion, and I still don't like the lazy widescreen, though I hear that its better than expected.

If you never did play REmake though $20 is certainly a fine price to buy it at, the minor additions are a nice bonus too. As far as sales. the other digital only HD REs, 4 and Code Veronica X on PS360, took FOREVER to go on sale. At least a year plus as far as I recall.

Only real nitpick complaint I have is the lazy import RE5 costumes. Jill is fine as she has the same design, but I wish they would have put Chris' outfit onto the REmake body model. Big McLargehuge just looks out of place to me in REmake.

I have played and beaten RE1 kinda recently on PS3. Also its two games that are on sale and likely wont be again for a while against one that I've already played that isnt on sale. Seems like a no brainer when I really think about it

We put up with tank controls back in 1996 because it was a new experience - survival horror had rarely been done, and never this well. Nowadays, we're willing to put up with a lot less. I wish they had done with this remake what everyone wanted - the original RE with the newer, post-RE4 controls and setup.

I'm not downplaying the necessity of the controls back when it launched, but offering people the ability to move in the direction that they're pointing isn't going to ruin the game if it's as good as its reputation proclaims. People get way too defensive about the control scheme like it was the only reason that the games were scary and it must be the only option or people might have a slightly different experience.

That sort of RE4-style remake of the original would be neat to see. RE5 had a mini-campaign as DLC that was an homage to the original, so it could definitely work if done right.

 
I don't think it ruins the game, and I'm glad this option WILL get more people to give the old games a chance, but it certainly makes normal zombies less dangerous. REmake is probably the classic game that it affects the least, because of Crimson Heads alongside all the normal monster stuff. Once you're really used to tank controls, you can escape almost as easily in the REs that have Quick Turn, plus REmake hasthe dagger/flashbang panic move. 

I've always though that kind of free control sucks in games with fixed camera angles too, change screens and you have to re-orient your controls 90% of the time. RE2 64 had this as an option and it was ass. I just always considered the slightly clunky controls that tank options offer to be part of the atmosphere of horror games in a way, even if that does sound dumb. Makes you feel weaker instead of an unstoppable killing machine ninja like you are in RE6.

 
I'm getting really annoyed with only being able to play Virtual Console games on the gamepad.  On my TV, there is just too much lag.  Apparently there is even lag on the gamepad, but I guess it's not enough to screw me up (too much?).

On a game like SM3DW, it doesn't bother me, I guess maybe because they're designed with input lag in mind.  Or is it just that I'm used to the way the retro games were on the original systems and on CRT TVs?  I swear they would be hard for anyone, even someone playing them the first time, because they just flat out require faster reaction time than an HDTV/Wii U will provide.

I guess I would like Nintendo to fix this somehow, or at least acknowledge it exists.  I don't know what to do besides get a new TV.  Apparently TVs with a "game mode" do not have these issues.  I'm sad, because I'm sick of playing them on the gamepad.  I don't want to buy a new TV, though.  :(

Guess I should have been buying them on 3DS instead.  NES Remix is unplayable for me on the TV, okay on gamepad, and much better on 3DS.

Odd since many people complain that the gamepad screen has a slight lag especially with VC games (wireless video should be slower than wired video). Try to fiddle with your TV settings. HDTV's like to add extra filtering and smoothing which could cause more lag.. be sure to turn all that off

Yeah, I've been all over the place in my TV settings and can find no helpful settings at all. There's no filtering or smoothing that I can find, just the standard brightness and such.

I do think the gamepad lags as well, but it lags less than my TV does. What would be ideal would be to just sit in front of the TV and play VC games with the Pro controller, as was stated--such fun! But yeah, my TV lags bad. Gamepad I'm sure lags but it does not bother me much. I would seriously try to find a CRT if they weren't so massive and heavy.

Late reply, sorry. Yeah, I kind of thought so, but I didn't want to say rape without being sure. If I were Nintendo, I would not really want him in/on my game... and it wouldn't have anything to do with losing a title or losing a fight or something. Punch-Out never needed him anyway. It's not like it's a boxing simulation.

It's a 2008 or so Sony 720p TV, maybe 36"? Sony Bravia KDL-32ML-130 or something like that (must be 32")

I've Googled this before to no avail. I don't know if other owners don't care or if it's just not a common gaming TV or what. Been a good TV overall and never noticed any problems with it before until I started playing Wii VC on it and Super Mario World was waaaay harder than I remembered. Then I got a Wii U and the gamepad audio was totally out of sync with the TV audio. And then I got NES Remix and finally realized how much easier it was on the gamepad and worked out it was because of input delay (or in this case, display delay).

Huh.  Noticed that when I picked up Mario Galaxy 2 last week, it never counted towards the Digital Deluxe Promotion.  What exactly are the qualifications for that thing? 

Not really too upset about, just my obsessiveness trying to catalogue what the eligibility requirements are.

It was surprise extended. From the website: [NOTE] The Deluxe Digital Promotion will be discontinued on April 1, 2015. Please exchange your points for an activation code by March 31, 2015. Activation codes must be redeemed in the Nintendo eShop by June 30, 2015.

Pretty sure all that means is that you have to convert your points by the end of March, end of April the site will no longer be available, end of June all codes not redeemed will be expired.

That's how Nintendo's set up every other promo they've run over the last two years with the eShop/CN.

This is correct, and was discussed at length in the middle of December. No one's getting any more DDP points.

 
Ah-ha.  Well, that sates my curiousity.  Took that extension thing to mean what I wanted it to instead of what it actually does.  Thanks for clearing that up.

While I didn't hate that game quite as much as some people did, there's no way in hell I would buy a second time or waste valuable hard drive space on it.

fun fact, my local Target still has a stack of these they are trying to sell for $49.99.

Awesome game, particularly if you enjoyed the previous ones.

I'm glad I stopped to read this thread, I had forgotten completely about this whole Digital Deluxe program - I went and checked and had two $5 codes waiting for me, I guess that'll just about pay for Metroid Trilogy.

 
If you're interested in it at all it's worth $10. Next Level Games know how to make great Nintendo games (Strikers series & Luigi's Mansion 2) If you have a balance board too try it out with the motion controls. You're not going to have a lot of success the more precise the later matches require but it is a blast to play.

That sucks. Usually Sony TVs are pretty decent in the lag department. There's not really much you can do except get a new one. It's the nature of the beast, that TV is probably too old to have a game mode.

If you ever replace it, just Google "Input Lag Database" it should help you in finding a new TV.

It was something I started looking in to, when I was looking hard to replace my DLP TV, but I never really got around to replacing it.

If there is any love for Punchout in your heart you are an absolute idiot if you don't. You could POSSIBLY buy a disc copy elsewhere for that price but this is an excellent package from tip to toenails.

If it has a feature called DRC, turn that off. That is the usual sony culprit for lag. But otherwise just try turning off every video processing feature and switch video modes. There is sometimes a "game" mode.

New stuff is up.

Throwback Sale

Metroid Prime Trilogy - 9.99

Mario Kart 8 - 44.99

Super Mario Kart - 5.99

Curve Digital

Thomas Was Alone - 6.99

Lone Survivor: Director's Cut - 8.99

The Swapper - 14.99

Stealth Inc 2: A Game of Clones - 10.99

3DS Throwback games are Metroid NES, Mario Golf GBC, and Mario Golf: World Tour 3DS.

 
I ended up not getting Punch Out (I'm pretty sure I have a physical copy packed away somewhere, although I never got around to playing it. Most likely bought it used). I decided to save the drive space and money for something I really want - MP Trilogy, can't wait to get home and start the download.
 
The page for Metroid Prime Trilogy says that the Wii Remote and Nunchuk are required to play.  Does anyone know how that works for Metroid Prime?  Are there motion controls?  Can I really not use the Gamepad or a pro controller?

The reason Trilogy exists was to add pointer controls from MP3 into the first two games.

If you can rename inputs, try naming it "PC" and see if that makes any difference. It's usually more of a Samsung trick, but who knows. Maybe it'll help.
 
looks like a good time to grab MPT and sell the physical copy, though I may wait a bit to sell since I'm sure others are doing the same, might sap the price.
