Part 2 of my WatchMePlay The Legend of Zelda Link’s Awakening DX Let’s Play! I am playing on the 3DS via the Game Boy Virtual Console 3DS eShop version of Link’s Awakening DX, which you can purchase for about $5.
In this installment of Nintendo’s Game Boy masterpiece, we continue exploring the initial Koholint Village setting of the massive Koholint Island. After talking to all of the villagers, we leave the village and head for the beach, where we will find Link’s signature “Master Sword”, that finally allows us to fight enemies! We also discover our second Secret Seashell! What happens when you collect them all? Enjoy. :)
Part 2 of my WatchMePlay Professor Layton and the Last Specter Let’s Play on the Nintendo DS!
Still in tutorial mode basically during the early-goings-on of this Level-5 Adventure game, we still get to experience some of the further story meat and potatoes as we arrive at the town of Misthallery and see a Tutorial on Hint Coins and The Trunk, which tells us all about those features and how they work. We also go through the first Journal Entries and watch the first “Episode”. Enjoy. :)
Part 3 of my WatchMePlay Kid Icarus: Uprising Let’s Play on the Nintendo 3DS!
In this video we finally dive into some ACTUAL gameplay of this action shooter and play through a good chunk of the tutorial and opening level of the game. IT is here that we see some real action though that is NOT necessarily tutorial based. Just keep in mind this is the first real level.
An amazing painting featuring the cover artwork of Professor Layton and the Last Specter for DS!

WatchMePlay Professor Layton and The Last Specter Part 1:
Professor Layton and the Last Specter was released on October 17th 2011 and is the fourth entry in the beloved Puzzle Adventure Game series from Nintendo and developer Level-5.
This game follows previous entries including: Professor Layton and the Curious Village, Professor Layton and the Diabolical Box, & Professor Layton and the Unwound Future, yet The Last Specter is actually a prequel, set before the first game in the series and marks the start of an all-new prequel Trilogy that continues on 3DS with Professor Layton and the Mask of Miracle (a game yet to be released in the West, we’ll likely see it at E3 2012 in English form).
In Professor Layton and the Last Specter, we get to experience the story of how our beloved renowned archaeologist (a well-mannered English gentleman) and his young assistant Luke Triton first met, while also delving into the mystery of a seemingly supernatural giant specter that has been haunting the town.
In part 2 of my Elite Beat Agents Let’s Play, we tackle a number of hilarious and awesome new levels on the easiest setting during the early portion of the game.
WatchMePlay Elite Beat Agents Part 2:
These include a Taxi stage in which a man is trying to successfully deliver his customers to where they want to go within the time limit… while also tackling a pregnant woman who is onboard!
A second story involves a love-struck painter and a seemingly emotionless women who has won his heart by having a passionate disinterest in all that he does, unmoved by his wondrous works of art, he seeks to win over her love…. All while the agents dance their way into YOUR HEART!
Finally we get to see a movie-studio in action as they film both an action and a romance piece, set to the music of the song “Makes No Difference”. ENJOY!
In WatchMePlayGames: Kid Icarus Uprising Part 2, we jump into the tutorial sections of Nintendo’s latest Angelic shooter/action game for the Nintendo 3DS.
WatchMePlay Kid Icarus Uprising Part 2
This section of the game walks you through how this unique title plays, from running on the ground to attack enemies, to avoiding and dodging enemy attacks, to flying through the skies to shoot down the forces of Medusa.
You get to hear lots of funny banter between Pit and the Goddess Palutena as she informs Pit on the nuances of becoming a great Angelic warrior!
The Legend of Zelda: Link’s Awakening was so unique, and had a fun style!
WatchMePlay The Legend of Zelda: Link’s Awakening DX for Game Boy Color on my 3DS, as I dive into Link’s finest hour for a handheld system in what many regard as one of the greatest portable games of all time.
WatchMePlay – The Legend of Zelda: Link’s Awakening Part 1
And it’s hard to argue with that statement, due to the how original and unique Link’s Awakening still is some 15 years following its debut in 1993 in a humble, 8bit, black-and-white adventure for the original Game Boy. That game would go on to win huge critical acclaim, gain a huge cult following, become one of the best-selling Game Boy games of all time and enter the hearts of many a Game Boy fan.
There are still plenty of Zelda fans and Nintendo gamers who consider Link’s Awakening to be the best Zelda game in the series. Although that game has extremely stiff competition these days, as many, many, many newer Zelda titles have wrestled with Link’s Awakening for the crown; and many other oddball titles in the series exist, such as the N64′s Majora’s Mask, and the little-known Game Boy Advance title The Minish Cap, as well as dueling, double handheld entries released by Capcom for the Game Boy Color called The Legend of Zelda: Oracle of Seasons & Ages.
In addition, Link has gone on many new portable adventures, including two on the regular DS, known as The Legend of Zelda: Phantom Hourglass & The Legend of Zelda: Spirit Tracks.
Either way you shake it though, none of those games have the majesty and majestic nature of Link’s first portable adventure. From the charming graphics, oddball villagers, entrancing music, complex dungeons, crafty puzzles, superb gameplay, incrediblely innovative storyline and fully realized world, few games can touch Link’s Awakening in sheer incomparable imaginality. IF you haven’t played the game do yourself a favor and DO IT.
It was re-released for the Game Boy Color in 1998 with an additional colorized dungeon, all-new colored visuals, and hidden photos to discover (they were printable on the black & white Game Boy Printer), and was re-released for 3DS via the eShop (which is the version I’m playing) on June 7th 2011.
Nintendo’s angel Pit, finally returned for 3DS in 2012 with Kid Icarus: Uprising.
WatchMePlay Kid Icarus: Uprising Part 1 for 3DS!
Here is WatchMePlay: Kid Icarus: Uprising Part 1:
Kid Icarus: Uprising was the long-awaited first modern-day release in the beloved Kid Icarus franchise, a videogame series that Nintendo hadn’t touched since the 1991 Game Boy sequel to the 1986 8bit NES original.
However main character Pitt caught a break when he appeared anew in Super Smash Bros. Brawl in 2008. Nintendo then had the developer of that game, Masahiro Sakurai, take the reigns on a bonafide new entry in the Kid Icarus series, and that’s what brought us Kid Icarus: Uprising!
This new game has all-new mechanics and introduces players to a fully voiced world, and a game that mixes shooting and on-foot battles with touch-screen or button-based controls. This is the first Nintendo title to be nearly fully voiced, which really makes it feel different compared to most of Nintendo’s games.
And the game has a really funny narrative style where Pit is continuously interacting with and talking to the Goddess Palutena as the player makes his way through the levels. She offers advice, ridicules him and jokes back and forth with some well-written, funny banter that really makes the game very lively.
The awesome cover-artwork for Elite Beat Agents and the dancing MIB-style heroes.

These dancing agents will win your heart over in DS’ Elite Beat Agents!
Elite Beat Agents was a hit, award-winning rhythm music game released by Japanese developer INis, and is oft-considered one of if not THE best game ever released for the original DS. In fact the game topped the list of a Nintendo Power list of the best games of all time per system. Even beating out several of Nintendo’s own beloved titles.

The reason Elite Beat Agents (known as Ouendan in Japan) is so beloved is because of the awesome touchscreen-based gameplay, catchy music, funny characters, storyline and situations, and tons of extras to unlock that will keep you busy tapping those fingers for a good long time.
The game is also, quite simply, hilarious. Which is a rarity with a lot of videogames. Enjoy. :)
Watch Me Play Elite Beat Agents! In this new Let’s Play, I bust out the good ol’ DS rhythm action game from Nintendo and Inus, which was one of the biggest breakout music games for Nintendo’s last-gen powerhouse portable.
It’s easy to see why once you see the game in action, it’s challenging, easy to grasp (once you get the hang of it) and extremely, extremely challenging on later stages. It’s also really funny, well-written, unique and fast-paced with an outstanding soundtrack, cookey characters and an energy that sucks you into rhythm heaven (pun-intended). It is quite simply one of the straight-up funnest, funniest and highest rated games on the DS. If you haven’t played it yourself, you owe it to yourself to pick it up!
