Using wpa2 is a good idea anyway. Only downside is it won't work with ds lites.

My workaround for that was setting up a VAP specifically for the DS Lite, using WEP.

Is online still active for any DS games, where this could be a potential issue?

Back on topic - Hyrule Warriors. I was a fan of Dynasty Warriors 3 and 4, but haven't played any since. Is it the same game with a Zelda skin over the top, or are there different aspects to the gameplay that would make it worth the $50 now, instead of the $30 it will be in 6 months?

I've played through the first 4 scenarios in the campaign. Since you've only played DW3 and 4, you would probably try to hack and slash your way through this game like you would in those two, but you will find it is a recipe to lose. The more recent musou games require you really to eliminate all enemy spawn points. This game in particular, none of your troops can be counted on to hold a base and if you leave 1 or two enemy captains alive and behind your line, they will eventually take over all your bases (including your main base). There is also an adventure more with goal oriented tasks in a specific scenario you can play for bonuses.

For your question -- It's hard to say. This game is rated very similar to the wonderful 101 which tanked in price really quickly. Having said that, it is far from the series that Zelda is and it's following. Look at South Park... that game has held its value for some time and until fairly recently has it only started to become sub $30... pretty good, especially for a ubisoft game. I'm willing to bet that Hyrule warriors sold pretty well this week, but more telling is how it does in the following few weeks and through the holiday. I'm guessing there will be sales for $50, but no price drop in the next few months. I dont think it will be $30 within a 6 month period... unless you talking about finding it in amazon warehouse or a special nintendo promotion.

Hyrule Warriors seems like a good candidate to be one of those half off games come Black Friday. Not the least because there's almost nothing else for the WiiU from this year.

I disagree. Nintendo knows what they're doing and this game, as much as it is a storied franchies, would only speak to niche players. I'm betting on a sale on NSMB U and Mario Kart 8 before Hyrule Warriors. Mainly Mario Kart through because of the online capability.

If they feature NSMBU the WiiU is in some real trouble.

CotM's gameplay mechanics aren't quite as polished as the other 2 GBA games but it's still well above the "good enough" bar.  Plus, it's about the only Metroidvania game in the franchise that is actually challenging.  I'd recommend it.

And that's what I liked about it. The following ones got deeper magic systems and other elements but CotM was really just about whipping things.

Sometimes that's all you want from CastleVania.

Exactly. I don't think there's a DS or GBA one I didn't like but the extra stuff on top of the basic formula just never resonated as much with me. This is all making me nostalgic for the GBA.

The worst part about Circle of Moon was it was so damn dark at times. The Wii U VC version is much better in that respect.

Otherwise, It's another great Castlevania game. I'd recommend them all to be honest. The GBA and DS ones were superb. It's a shame Konami has basically gave up on the 2D series. I would probably buy a IPhone just to play a new one if they continued.

Well that was a perpetual problem with the GBA. Man I wish original model had back lights, would love to have one of those still.

Well, no, it wasn't just a lack of a light on the GBA, the game itself was ridiculously dark.

I haven't played it in years but I don't recall that being an issue with the game itself and it looks fine on YouTube being played on the GC adapter and filmed off the SP. Regardless it's a great game. Would love to see a big sale on all these one day since they're still just too over priced to me.

 
Does CoTM look over pixelated on larger TV's or do you guys play on the gamepad?  (I have a 47" to play on).  Beat this one and AoS already, but am considering getting all 3 of these.  Guess order of ecclesia wont make it here since it's a DS title?

I can not speak to the nintendo version of the game, but the sony version is very fun. Controls are tight and game moves quickly. It's metroidvania in a luchidor kind of setting. $5 well spent on PSN. If this one is remotely similar, I'd recommend it.

 
CotM might be may favorite Castlevania game. The music is fantastic, it's got more traditional play-style but the magic system still dramatically changes the way you play the game, and secrets galore for completionists. To me, it's the definitive Castlevania game.

Harmony of Dissonance is a mess, though. Horribly confusing map system and it's not always clear what you should be doing. I tried to beat it a few times over the years and it always just leaves me frustrated and annoyed.

Aria of Sorrow, however, is fantastic, even if it's a pretty liberal take on the formula. The fact you get abilities/powers from almost every single enemy means you constantly have new things to do. I'm sure this'll make it to the VC since Konami has started putting the others up.

I played the hell out of it on Vita/PS3. Tempted by the Wii U version on sale since it's got the additional content.

For $10 it's well, well worth it, regardless of the platform. The trophies on PS3 made it extra fun since they added challenge to the game (I'm not generally a Trophy/Achievement junky) and their absence on the Wii U is a bummer. Still, can't go wrong with a great game.

Giant turd. The world is barren and looks like it was created on a PC in the 90s, no real story, no puzzles, and a fuck you ending. Can be beaten in less than a few minutes knowing where to go, and beat it in 10-15 when you take in everything.

The end result of disappointment is the same, because you get nothing out of taking your time with the game.

So what you're saying is it's like a better version of Ground Zeroes?

2D Castlevania on iPhone? I can't imagine that working well with a touch screen. It would be neat, though.

I purchased several models off of eBay in a fit of remorse for getting rid of all my old consoles. None of the GBAs had backlights until the very last model of SP, which released at the end (after the DS and Micro were out), and few people bought it. Other than that, the original SP had a frontlight. I actually enjoy frontlights because you can still play them in the sun. I have a GBA, then two SPs, one with the front light and one with the back. And a Game Boy, Game Boy Pocket, two Game Boy Colors... I kind of went overboard...

They took a lot of flak for making it such a dark game, and they significantly brightened up the other two GBA releases. Think pastels. :)

Please do not purchase that garbage. It isn't a finished game and Nintendo should be ashamed that they let it on the eshop. It isn't worth 2 cents let alone 49.

Sorry. I feel like a massive pedant now. I should have just said, "YEAH!" Actually, I have no idea why they didn't just stick a front light on the original GBA. I'm sure there must have been concern for battery life, and maybe front lights used lots more power then than when the GBA SP game out, but...? It's a weird dichotomy where the older systems are terrible indoors, but great outdoors, and the modern systems are great indoors and terrible outside and terrible in the sun.

He spends as much time on his sentence structure as he does his games, poor guy. I'd like for him to be able to keep doing games. Sounds like a weird mix of incompetent publisher, no time, and no money. And no sentence writing strategies in primary school.
