I wish they'd make a new 3DS one with wifi.

@TriforceBun
Fair enough. Not sure if the style changes all that much over the course of the game, but I think the weakest songs are in the first couple of worlds, for what that's worth. I just wanted an excuse to post that song, really.

Pokemon TCG is amazing.

@r_hjort

Yeah, it seems I'm in the minority with Runner 2. Although to be fair, I still enjoyed what I played, but just not all that much.

It's surprisingly addictive so far--I like making incremental improvements to my deck when I win a new Booster Pack ("Sweet, another Bill!"). I'd probably recommend it to anyone who enjoyed the TCG in the past. And it does indeed have a story mode--while it's pretty basic, you do get to walk around and talk to people and battle, which gives it just enough of a sense of scope to link it closer to the Pokemon adventures.

@DrFinkelstein

That would be cool.

I might just have to get Pokemon TCG.

I had such a blast playing through that when it first came out. The normal battle theme was so catchy I can still remember it to this day

Oh, Runner 2 isn't endless? Hmm. Maybe I misjudged this game. I guess $5 is a cheap enough price point to determine that myself.

@GameDadGrant

It's totally awesome dude! Each level is a well-designed treat.

@GameDadGrant

You're gonna pay $5 for that?! Someone said its endless!

@Mr_Mustache

Wait is it? Eh, never mind. I probably won't end up playing it anyway. Like most of my Wii U games. I'm trying to remember the last time I even turned the system on. Or any of my consoles, now that I think about it.

@GameDadGrant
It's not

Played a solid amount of TCG last night, just trying to get back into the swing of things. My Zapdos was shut down by stringshot until death

@missypissy

What was that big card battle game on the Wii or GameCube? I think it got to be hard to find, or is maybe hard to find now? Expensive? Long? Can't remember.. Never got it. Someone remembers for sure.

@Mr_Mustache
Are we still talking Pokémon? There were other card focused games on the Cube, like Rune/Lost Kingdoms (I think they were called that?) and the eminent Baten Kaitos.

@r_hjort

Baten Kaitos is it. You win. Mannn, you win everything.

@r_hjort
I enjoyed that song. Post some Tengami tracks!

I'll probably pick up the Pokemon Trading Card Game. Why hasn't Nintendo made another one? Maybe the actual cards are more profitable...

@r_hjort, @Mr_Mustache

Oh man, Baten Kaitos was such a fun game. I really dug it...probably one of my most favorite RPGs on the 'Cube. Great stuff. I mean, holy smokes, DAT SOUNDTRACK!

Monolithsoft knows what they are doing.

I can't believe that there hasn't been a card battling game on Wii U. The tablet is so perfect for flicking out cards. In real-time, even!

I want to make an FPCF. First-person card flicker.

@Anand

Like that mini-game in Nintendo Land? (well, that was ninja stars, so...not quite the same)

Yeah, I was always confused as to why there weren't more card games on DS (and 3DS) as well. I mean, there were a few, but...man! The interface was nearly custom-made for games like that, but it rarely happened. And now the same thing is happening with the U. What gives?

@Anand
Tengami Medley coming up! Not a whole lot of individual tracks up on Youtube (as in none whatsoever), but this should give you an idea of what Wise has cooked up this time. You could also listen to the whole soundtrack over at this website.



@GameDadGrant
I've sadly yet to buy Baten Kaitos Origins since it never made it over here, but one day it will be mine! Baten Kaitos was awesome.

@r_hjort

Yeah, it was pretty terrible that Origins was a North American-only release (er, besides Japan of course). I'll keep my fingers crossed that you get a copy of it soon. It's a very good RPG and a much better execution of what the original Baten Kaitos set forth to do.
