Had a pretty nice haul today with most of it I'm gonna keep aside from Skylanders Giants and Oddworld.  Was surprised I found stuff for once at Goodwill as I had pretty much given up there lol The games all came from two Goodwills and the strategy guides were from my usual thrift shop.  Never played the Pac-Man World games, but I do like 3D platformers

Anyone know if the Bayonetta 2 pre-order for the WiiU is coming with the actual disc copy of the 1st Bayonetta, or a download code?

From what I just heard, in Japan, it's a second disk, nothing confirmed for the rest of us, likely a download code, but not sure yet.

Bought Halo CE Anniversary for XBox 360 and Wonderful 101 for Wii U today!

Oh, right! I forgot I had Wonderful 101.  I bought it on a great sale awhile back lol That's good cause I was sorta disappointed to find out that Tekken Tag Tournament 2 had all the characters unlocked, so I didn't really see a lot to accomplish there, and Monster Hunter just feels like a PS2 port and looks real underwhelming, so I have been wanting something new to take up my time on my Wii U alongside Mario Kart 8.

I would only say it for Dark Cloud 1.  Dark Cloud 2 I never played and looks to have set itself apart alot more.  But that first one with the green hat, gloves, and boots, just makes me think of Link lol

The Dark Cloud games are definitely not Zelda clones. 

Why not? They're both action-adventure games. They're both set in a fantasy setting. They both have an overworld and dungeons, items collection is a focus.

Even the main guy looks familiar to Link lol I think the only real difference was that Dark Cloud had the whole village thing which is what made it sorta stand out.

Thanks for all the games to check out, some I know of and may work for him, others I'm not sure, like I'd love for him to play Okami a super favorite of mine, but not sure if it's right for him or not.

The Steam sale today though got me thinking that I had made a family account at one point for them to have a game or two and was wondering if there were any like zelda knock offs or similar games for 2D or 3D on that.  Maybe I can find a sale there and it's much easier as a number of the brought up games are on systems I'm just not gonna spend the time setting up or getting all sorts of emulators for lol

Started to play Monster Hunter on Wii U and it's alright so far just starting out.  Feel like I'm playing a PS2 port, but an alright PS2 port lol

Yeah I went with the bundle myself for Smash Bros.  The PDP ones look nicer, but the Smash Bros one is Nintendo official.

Basically my dad plays ALOT of Zelda in his free time.  I grew up with the original NES with me and him playing it and once he retired and needed time to fill, I got him into the rest of the Zelda games.  He's played pretty much everything other than the Wii and DS ones cause of the motion controls and being on handheld only.

So I was thinking of more games that might be similar to Zelda, nothing too over-complicated or too crazy with the combat that he might be able to handle.  So basically maybe action rpg type stuff, probably nothing involving turn based as I don't think he'd be super interested in that.  I got him Starfox Adventures, but after awhile, he wasn't really liking it.  Open to any ideas for what to look at getting him.

That Tenacious D album is awesome, too.

I loved the opening scene of that movie so much. With Jack Black as a kid performing for his Christian parents (who was freaking Meatloaf!). That was hil-freaking-larious!

It's a favorite movie of mine lol

A metal day at the thrift shop, came across two albums from Children of Bodom and something I super wanted, the deluxe edition of Tenacious D's "Pick of Destiny".  It's sadly missing the higher quality pick that is supposed to come with it, but it does have the tarot-like cards and the poster in a very nice looking box.

Nice! Children of Bodom are so freaking awesome it's mind-melting! Alex Laihto is an absolute beast on guitar.

I can't believe you found them at a thrift store of all places. People that buy Children of Bodom are pretty specific on what they're looking for and what they like. It's not like someone going in a buying the latest Jay-Z album at any old store.

I got Hate Crew Deathroll and Are You Dead Yet?...I just happened to get there after they just put them out I think.  Was hoping there was like a full collection there as I only have one or two albums, but this was good.  Super surprised to find the Tenacious D one though as it was put in the dvd case cause it was a fancier thing with a thick book look almost.

Here's what it looks like.  Really wish I got the pick though, I have the cheaper real pick that came with the regular cd release lol

I'm sort of upset.  I put 5 bucks down on a pre-order at my local Gamestop for the Super Smash Bros. Wii U bundle which comes with the gamecube adapter and a "special edition smash bros" gamecube controller.  Looking at the controller on the Gamestop website (which was not available during the pre order), that controller is not appealing to me at all.  The individual Mario, Yoshi, Princess, etc. gamecube U controllers look so much better.  I feel like I have just wasted a pre-order when I could have gotten the game and the other controller  :'(

Yeah just cancel your pre-order and move it to the regular version.  I hadn't see those other Gamecube controllers, but I see why you want them, they look pretty badass.  I might instead get the regular version of Smash and then pre-order the Mario controller.

Haven't dove in to the full batch of pre-orders I'm gonna get, but started seriously with Hyrule Warriors.  I had Battlefield Hardline pre-ordered, but I had let my fanboy take over for me with that, so I canceled it and put it onto Hyrule Warriors.  Was gonna do Dead Rising 3 on PC since that'll be out first, but it's not up for pre-order yet.  Eventually I'm gonna get Bayonetta 2, Super Smash Bros Deluxe package, might splurge on the collector's edition of Far Cry 4 just because, still deciding on Destiny, and will be pre-ordering Borderlands Pre-Sequel.  Pretty sure that's all I have to pre-order...

OH! Forgot about Metro 2033 and Last Light Redux! I'm pre-ordering those on Steam since if you own the original versions, you get both of the Redux games for essentially the price of 1.  Super in love with those games and can't wait to replay 2033 especially with the overhauled graphics and gameplay.

This is just kinda on topic...

Hasn't it been long enough to have a Mega Man "re-imagining"?  Just go back to the first one and make new levels. That way we get a fresh, new game and the robot masters aren't super silly.

A reboot of the original would be a good way to work Mega Man back in to things with a graphic style to rival Mighty No. 9. I of course want them to make Mega Man Legends 3, but 2D Mega Man is a start.  The problem now is that since he's been away for awhile, a lot of other games are filling in the spot of that game, so Mega Man has to be a lot better than just another rehashed game.
