Tbh, I still haven't beaten SMB, but at least I got tho world 5, after beating the boss in Hell just recently. It's funny how a boss can get from challenging to easy after you've found a blindspot that allows you to dodge all his attacks on his final phase, except for the ast headbutt. I'm probably not going for the dark world and the true ending, though. At least for now.
I don't have a Vita, because of money and the lack of games I'm interested in. In general the only Sony console I own is my PSP which I still haven't understood, why I bought it in the first place. At least it lets me play the first two Disgaea games, which I really enjoyed playing, because they are so over the top. {XD}
I'm focusing more on games made for Nintendo handhelds and PC, probably because that's what I was growing up with.
After watching some videos I decided to make another playthrough of Golden Sun: Dark Dawn and now I'm in a spot where I have to consider taking everything back I said about tutorials in Pokemon games. You'd have to put every tutorial that you see in Pokemon games into one big cluster and you'd still not get that amount of unneccessity in terms of tutorials that game offers.
Trying to build up immersion with a ton of text (which GS is known for) and then break this immersion by having a character explain to you how to equip items in the menu while automating the whole process for demonstration purposes, isn't what you'd want to do when trying to set up a world that's full of tons of lore.
There are some other things, too, that could have been avoided, like all the stuff that you could possibly miss because of these points of no return in the game, but all in all it's still a great game, in my opinion. Not neccessarily as good as the other two games, but still great.
