Guess the Game: In-Game Text Edition

[The Qu]

The German one is Luigi's Mansion 2, isn't it?

[nocturnal YL]

Both are right! I guess Next Level's library is small enough for the quotes to be easily guessable. One quote is well-known and the other is recent too, so they're memorable, haha.

I'll put a small break from issuing hints; let's see if Nester will show up and attempt. Can't guarantee that I'll be patient enough for him to actually show up, though.

[Wildcat]

Is the first from Sim City for the SNES? How about the second being Zelda: Skyward Sword? Just random guesses!

[Nester the Lark]

The easy one is Mother.

I think the first hard one is Tilting Puzzle: Happy Panechu! (Or I also found it under the name "Koro Koro Puzzle Happy Panechu!")

And a completely wild guess for the second hard one: Yoshi Touch & Go.

[nocturnal YL]

Come on, what's wrong with this new forum system?

I tried to reply, but it got swallowed. Upon replying, it says I didn't provide a message.

Welcome, Wildcat! Unfortunately, both of your guesses are incorrect.

By Mother, I assume you mean the first Mother for Famicom, which unfortunately isn't what I have in mind. Unless there is a Mother 1 fan translation that contains this line and that I'm not aware of.

Happy Panechu isn't the case, either. It is a tilting game, obviously, but it's newer than that.

Yoshi Touch & Go is correct though. I'm surprised that someone got it right at the first try.

I'm posting this right now. I'll add in the stats and whatnot soon. Don't kill THIS post, ProBoards.

Hint: Nester's answer (Mother 1) almost nailed it.

Hard:
Don't tilt so much! Be brave! (Nintendo)
Hint: These are two lines appearing one after another, carrying conflicting messages. Don't take risks, but do! The game itself is pretty recent.

[Leon]

Don't tilt so much! Be brave! (Nintendo) Nintendo Land?

[Nester the Lark]

Ha! That's hilarious. Mother 1 is what I got when I put the text into a search engine. Tilting Puzzle was a guess, but I actually did a little research. My first thoughts were Kirby Tilt & Tumble or Yoshi Topsy Turvy/Universal Gravitation, but neither of those were developed by Nintendo.

Yoshi Touch & Go was a completely blind guess. It was just the first thing to pop into my mind. And I've never even played the game.

[nocturnal YL]

Nintendo Land is correct!

See this video for the lines I'm talking about: www.youtube.com/watch?v=xwmfEhw1Vgw#t=5m50s

Let's see...

• I know the Mother 1 search result you're talking about. It's not Mother 1, though.
• The fact that there aren't a lot of tilting games developed in-house was intended to be a big hint while it's still possible to get it wrong.
• I'd count Kirby's Tilt 'n' Tumble as a Nintendo game, since it's made by Nintendo RD2 and HAL Laboratory wasn't really much involved in this title.

And on the developer hint thing:
When there are multiple developers, I'll just indicate one of them. For example, SSB Brawl may be listed under Game Arts, Sora or HAL Laboratory.

[The Qu]

It's Earthbound, of course. In particular, it's from the billboard in Onett.

[nocturnal YL]

You got it right - both the game and location.

Next batch will be a tad difficult.

Both correct! You're now leading in terms of number of correct answers.

Other Notice:

No hints for now. The questions are only out for two hours!

[nocturnal YL]

Almost a whole day has passed. It's hint time! I was busy today, thus being late. I'll give two hints for the hard questions.

Check HAL's site and IS's site for lists of their games to pick your answer from.

I actually expected no one to show up this time, since the questions either point to obscure games or are just not that obvious.
