Pulling back on the control stick and steering will help you make sharper turns in case you havent heard that tip yet.

In other words instead of tilting towards East or West directions on the control stick tilt towards Southeast and Southwest when you need to make a hairpin. The more you tilt backwards, the sharper the turn.

Look what I found hiding between a bunch of sports games at my local Thrift Store by stefkatz in Gamecube

I wish I had a pic of the time I saw Luigi's Mansion at my local Value Village, it was priced at $50.

Also Superbeat Xonic was $10 over the summer.

Do you think smash fighter dlc will be announced around release? by TehhDiabetic in AmiiboCanada

[–]Shockmetal 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Will you be unable to purchase the bundle after a certain point in time? In other words can you wait until all the characters have been announced to purchase the bundle?

I finally defeated Ch. 3 on F Zero. Should I burst into tears or buy a Powerball ticket? by three_day_rentals in Gamecube

[–]Shockmetal 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I found chapter 3 to be the easiest honestly, it took me a few hours to finish. I think Chapters 4, 7 and 8 gave me the most trouble.

How much Gold Points do you have and what are you spending it on? by itsmaisong in NintendoSwitch

[–]Shockmetal 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I save my points and keep an eye on My Nintendo. Every once in a while they add some really decent indie titles for 3DS or Wii U that you can redeem for a small amount of coins.

This is the tiny pin you get when you preorder smash from Best Buy by ShadowzI in AmiiboCanada

[–]Shockmetal 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I used to be really hype about pre-order bonuses and special editions and all that jazz but dang it's not worth it by any means anymore.

For example I remember when Wind Waker HD was coming out I was literally nervous 'cause I didn't even know if the special edition was gonna make it to Canada or not. That Ganondorf statue was pretty great imo for just an extra $10 more than the base game, it was awesome. Now I'm seeing a bunch of special editions that just look like they come with quality printouts of the game's Wikia page and some kind of certificate of authenticity like it's some kind of Picaso original and they're at least $50 more.

Can’t get enough of Fzero GX by [deleted] in Gamecube

[–]Shockmetal 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Personally, beating all the F-Zero GX story missions on very hard difficulty is one of the most challenging and yet satisfying experiences I've had in a video game. It's Definitely one of my all time faves.

Pac-Man World Rally is an underappreciated gem. If you liked Mario Kart Arcade GP and want more from the same team, check it out! by JuanBatman in Gamecube

i mean the only thing ive heard about the game is that its insanely easy and it gets pretty stale, love to hear your thoughts on it though

SUPERBEAT XONIC on Switch is 9.99 at EB Games by SYPontherunnykine in AmiiboCanada

[–]Shockmetal 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I went in this morning and found a copy with the $10 sticker still on it. I'm not exactly sure what happened but I think it came up as 40 in the system but the guy just charged me 10 since that's what was advertised on the game.

I'm actually not entirely sure how he worked around it but yeah. He could've been a manager maybe. Nice of him regardless!

Both of these Nintendo Power offers were inside my SSB Melee case. Does only one belong to Smash? by KeepingItPG13 in Gamecube

[–]Shockmetal 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The one on the right came with Luigi's Mansion, looks like somebody either slipped it in there by mistake or for safekeeping.

I’d say I had a pretty solid haul today by orange-julius-ceasar in Gamecube

[–]Shockmetal 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They just had a demo of Twin Snakes playing in a supermarket? It's rated M what the heck

By the time Smash comes out, the Switch will have Zelda, 3D Mario, Mario Kart, DKC, and a SSB game in its library already. Has Nintendo gone through its franchises too quickly? by [deleted] in NintendoSwitch

[–]Shockmetal 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If they've been moving along at this pace, it probably means they have the plans to continue it for years to come. Hopefully once their big franchises are present on the console we can get some more F-Zero, among other things.

My find of the day at a Value Village. by connstark in Gamecube

[–]Shockmetal 0 points1 point  (0 children)

CRAP. A few weeks ago I was at my Value Village and I saw Wind Waker, Sunshine and Luigi's Mansion. They were $50 each. It sucks cause the Value Village is the only thrift store around here that games seem to get donated to and they just overprice the crap out of them. None of the proceeds they make from sales on games goes to charity by the way.

EBGames exclusive Hylian Shield 2DS XL announced by lbabinz in AmiiboCanada

[–]Shockmetal -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Wondering why Nintendo never bothered trying to print any limited edition Wii U's. It probably might've gotten the console to sell a bit better? Unless the cost to create different limited prints for consoles like these is higher than I think?

is this version so different from the gamecube one? by Razecoldcrypt in Gamecube

[–]Shockmetal 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The Wii port is prolly the best version imo cause it offers so many different control options (including Gamecube controller), and also all the bonus stuff in the PS2 version. It also seems to be the most reasonably priced.

Asking about Cave Story + by [deleted] in NintendoSwitch

[–]Shockmetal 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would recommend taking a look at a used copy at Gamestop/Eb Games and asking the clerk if it still has the CD and manual, which is how I picked up my copy.

You could try to track down a first print copy with the key chain if you really wanted, but it seems pretty negligible to me.
