I liked using to look for the Chams, but the neatest part was downloading a little boat mini game called Pinta’s Quest. I would literally kill the battery in the VMU playing it and always had to upload my exp and gold to my main game before playing it.
That's correct. I remember taking my VMU to school with my little chao buddy. Similar to Tamagotchi I guess.
Yeah it was basically a Tamagotchi. Pinta's Quest for Skies of Arcadia would get my vote.
How did skies use it?
Yeah it was like a tamagotchi. I think that was why things like the VMU and Pocketstation were made in the first place though. Because they were trying to ride the tamagotchi success.
God I forgot about that.
I remember completing the game in Nightmare and the final maze was indeed a nightmare.
Yea it displayed your health status meaning you didn’t need to go into the inventory menu to see.
True. I completed the game with the controller though. It was a bit easier than PC version for various reasons.
RE:code veronica use didn't make any sense.
I remember having more fun with the vmu game than the actual time stalkers game.Time Stalkers, a roguelike-ish (Shiren/Mystery Dungeon style) dungeon crawling/monster gathering JRPG that was pretty average (but underrated and unfairly bashed too) had a downloadable to the VMU first person dungeon crawling game that was pretty addictive and fun. The battles were real time, you could attack (with a refilling gauge to indicate hit power) and block (which reduced HP so you had to time with enemy attacks), use items, eat your own candy sword for health, stuff. I don't remember much more about it, playing it killed my VMU battery and I never replaced it though
At the time I only knew danger, still it tells you if you are poisoned!"OMG health status in RE is the best use ever!"
Come on now, that's incredibly basic. Especially as RE has had visual differences in the character's stance to represent each health status since 2. I can tell you if I'm in caution or danger in any classic RE game past 1 without going into the menu, and I don't need a VMU to do it.

Look at the list the wiki entry has. You have mini games and all sorts of in-game benefits, and you bastards pick a poxy little health counter. You didn't even pick Dino Crisis, which had ammo count as well as health status.
I have the game but have no memory of this implementation. This is pretty awesome. It's almost the assymetrical gameplay Nintendo were talking about when they launched the Wii U.Sonic Shuffle requires the Dreamcast VMU to play correctly. The game doesn't show you cards you have [on TV], because that would reveal them to every player (and since other players can steal your cards, that'd be bad). Instead, it shows you on the VMU, the little LCD screen built into the memory card you can put in the controller.

If you think someone's being serious when they call an entire group of people bastards over a VMU discussion, I don't think you're the right person to be throwing that cliche at people.
And your ammo count. It heldped immersion a lot for me
