This is probably going to be as good as it gets on DS this month. Not expecting greatness, but I need a good, guilty pleasure.

For R4, I patched arm7 and it works.

Isn't Professor Layton 2 coming out this month?

Well this is below average, there are some parts that are good but not enough to make it worth the time.

Oh well it was to be expected but I hoped to have been wrong about it, could do with a good new DS action game.

Yeah, I forgot about that, but they're very different types of games, of course.

I like it so far. It's what I expected, really, and I don't think it's ugly, as IGN seemed so adamant about driving home in their review. It feels like Gauntlet, just as they said. Good enough for me.

EDIT: All right...well, I just finished the snow level, and yeah, it's pretty fugly in some areas. Still fun, though.

Okay, the Donato quick impressions review I hope someone appreciates because I'll keep doing them:

Graphically, this game is as much ass as you can possibly ass in any ass amount of time. Cutscenes are done by a mix of scanned in photos or horrible drawn 2D clip art, sometimes AT THE SAME TIME, which looks horrible.

If you can ignore that and just focus on the game itself, it's very good in a Gauntlet with Guns and Grenades way. Reloading is a bit of a itch-with-a-b and the cover system seems like a good idea but is barely necessary, but it's pretty serviceable in terms of what it's trying to do. Why they couldn't give us infinite ammo in our main weapons I know not, but that would have helped.

If you are looking for Smash TV or Gauntlet on your DS, you can definitely do worse.

It is! Thank you sir.


I had quick run of the game on the emulator here. That cutscene with scanned photo and 2D art really is ugly. That really strikes me as a lazy effort. Couldn't get to play the actual game because of some error but I guess I didn't miss much. Shame actually, was hoping it to be as good as the C64 GI Joe was. Well I liked it back in the day

  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    I just recently picked up a n64 from a garage sell, and looking to mod it and add a HDMI port to it. https://www.ebay.com/itm/3548173115...044&customid=4f3038da73b61afddf7e5e90f4153856
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    I'd like to find a power strip and HDMI selector built in 1 unit, so I can select which game system I want, and will switch to that hdmi, and power on that plug/power supply only, so don't have all game systems powered all the time, but can't find anything like. May just have to make something myself.
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    Maybe start a kick starter page and sell them, yea right. Big N would prob C&D me, not anything Big N related, but just because that's what they do nowdays. Then come out with they own in a year or so.
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    @Xdqwerty, Nice. Which operating system are you installing?
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    @SylverReZ, windows 10 and some linux distro like linux mint
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    dualbooth
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    @Xdqwerty, Yeah, I'd recommend having another OS just in-case you want to play games.
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    At least Linux doesn't contain spyware than what Windows has.
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    @SylverReZ, cuz of lag?
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    @Xdqwerty, No. Whenever you use the internet on Windows, Microsoft collects personal data and installs bloatware that isn't necessarily needed, such as Edge.
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    Speaking of which
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    @SylverReZ,
    I recall @impeeza mentioned some trick about not having bloatware when installing windows where you set up your country to "world" or smh like that

  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    Yes, you can debloat the operating system, but in some cases for me it just reinstalls them.

  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    @SylverReZ,
    I also recall my brother downloded a "non bloated" version of windows 11 on his pc

    "Why debloat? Why not embrace and enjoy my bloat?" - Gates

  • impeeza @ impeeza:
    @Xdqwerty yes, when you are installing Windows on the first steps you are asked for your current location, you MUST to select «international» so no bloatware is installed, because the bloatware is location based. if this night I have some time I will setup a VM and take screenshots.
