Male, 20, United States
Austroid (a clever mishmash of his name and fav. game series ever: Metroid.) is a nice, quiet dude who loves to draw, collect his favorite things immortalized in plastic or die-cast, and of course play videogames. He hopes to one day own both an authentic Darth Vader suit and a Batmobile.

Austroid commented on Game & Wario Was Originally Intended As A Pre-...:
@skjia @edcomics Actually Waluigi's name makes more sense than Wario's. His name is a combination of the Japanese words "Warui," which means bad, and "Ruīji"; Luigi.
So he's literally "Bad Luigi."

Austroid commented on SEGA Promises New Gameplay, Enemies and Potent...:
Hopefully the new character(s) will be integral to the plot, but without being in-your-face about it.
-Yacker from Colors: Good
-Chip from Unleashed: Bad

Austroid commented on Senior EA Employee Caught Out Criticising Wii ...:
The worst part is that he acts so casual about dissing Nintendo.
The post with "One more : - ) ." really rubs me the wrong way. Just the fact he used an emoticon is childish, he's an adult bashing a company for really just the sake of it.

@AJWolfTill So Retro Studios doesn't count?

Austroid commented on Best Buy Will Showcase Playable Demos of Ninte...:
Never buy anything at Best Buy (get it?...), but you can bet I'll be there if playable demos of Mario U and Mario Kart U are there!
#7
Austroid commented on New Super Luigi U Will Be Available As A Stand...:
I think I'll settle for this! I've been dried out from playing NSMB2, which is why I've been hesitant on buying NSMBU, so this would be a welcome change of pace! Plus that cool green case would look great to display!

Austroid commented on Mario & Sonic at the Sochi 2014 Olympic Winter...:
Might be the first M&S I actually buy. Looks great from the footage we saw on ND.

Finally Sonic Blast will be mine!

Austroid commented on Nintendo Direct: Watch The North American Pres...:
Wow so much great news! I might get Super Luigi U now that its being released in stores! The next Mario & Sonic entry looks great and it may be the first of the series I actually buy!
Its great to finally hear some news about Sonic's next game. So its called The Lost World then? Is it related to Jurassic Park?
Also I'm glad we're finally getting those Sonic GG titles released on the 3DS eShop, as well as tons of other GG titles.

Austroid commented on Nintendo Download: 16th May (North America):
Starship Damrey has my interest, but I'm a little iffy about having no help whatsoever. I'll wait for a review to see if its worth the purchase.
#12
Austroid commented on Pac-Man And The Ghostly Adventures Chomping It...:
Love Pac-Man, new look and all, and hoping this game at least turns out decent.
Also near the end: "Not-Yoshi" Pac-man?
#13
Austroid commented on Insomniac Not Working On Wii U, Considers It M...:
@DarkCoolEdge I wholeheartedly agree. I come to NL to see what new and exciting things are on the horizon for Wii U and 3DS, not what "X" company said about Wii U's "Y" issue.
#14
Austroid commented on CNN Money: Nintendo Is "Tone Deaf" To Industry...:
Well, someone was payed off by Micro$oft for that laughable Kinect comparison. Wii U has just started its life; after E3 the big guns will be coming.
So shut up lamestream medias.
#15
Austroid commented on Mega Man FPS "Polarized Opinions" Within Capco...:
I'd honestly give it a shot. I LOVE the Prime games, so this would be right up my alley. Plus I haven't played a Mega Man game since I bought Legends a long time ago, in a suburban area far, far away.
@Dpishere Play Prime 3! Its a cinematic Metroid done right!

Austroid commented on Review: BearShark (3DS eShop):
I was actually debating whether or not to get this, so I waited for a review. I'm glad I did; this sounds like garbage, as much as I like the show.

Looking forward to it, hopfully I'll like what I see. Haven't bought an eShop game since Tokyo Crash Mobs came out.
#19
Austroid commented on Level-5 Registers Three New Trademarks:
I'm keeping my eye on Starship Damery and A Tokyo Tale. The brief footage of both caught my interest.
#20
Austroid commented on Talking Point: Censoring Boingy Bits, Bums and...:
@Jaz007 I wholeheartedly agree. That's why censorship still exists, because nudity is always seen as sexual nowadays. How many times when you were younger and starting to learn about the birds and the bees, did you ever at one point see a scantily clad woman and think, "wow she's beautiful." Or did you act like the other 99.99% of boys growing up and think "man she's HOT!"
#21
Austroid commented on Review: Injustice: Gods Among Us (Wii U):
Outside of Smash Bros. I'm not a fan of the fighting genre. But this has my interest, so I might pick it up later on.
#22
Austroid commented on Armature Reveals More Details For Batman: Arkh...:
Wow, that all sounds really neat. Its good to hear people formerly from Retro taking the license seriously (as they always do). Batman with Metroid gameplay; now thats a great combo. This may be the first time I buy both the console and handheld entries of a series simultaneously!
#23
Austroid commented on Iwata Reveals More Details On New Super Luigi U:
I'm tempted to get NSMBU just so I can play this!
#24
Austroid commented on Special Luigi 3DS XL System Coming To Japan:
Pretty cool, but I would prefer a simpler design. Maybe just a green 3DS with his L on it, or a giant darker green version of his sihouette in front of a lighter green 3DS.
#25
Austroid commented on Review: Dillon's Rolling Western: The Last Ran...:
Ugh I knew it, nothing new. I love Dillon and the series' art-style; but the gameplay is honestly a terrible mish-mash of genres.
#26
Austroid commented on Developers: No Nostalgia Allowed in Creating C...:
I love how fresh the enviorments look in DM. Nostalgia is always fine, but sometimes we need something new.
#27

@JayceJa A man with woman legs then...?
#28
Austroid commented on Video: SEGA Teases Possible Castle of Illusion...:
Interesting. Now how about those Star Wars games Disney?
#29
Austroid commented on This Injustice: Gods Among Us Infographic Make...:
the Ultimate Hero would be superior to the Ultimate Villain. It seems like the UV's characteristics are pretty desperate; Harley's legs? Really?
#30
Austroid commented on Nintendo to Pull the Plug on Several Online Wi...:
The only channel I frequently used was Nintendo Channel. I'm one of those people who looked forward to new Nintendo Week episodes. I enjoyed seeing Gary, Allison, and Dark Gary talk about upcoming games with funny skits, interviews with developers, and even a few good tips for newer games. Sometimes those Ultimate Wii Challenge videos were entertaining too, kinda like LPs with family-friendly trash talk. I was heartbroken when they stopped doing NW.

Austroid commented on Super Comboman Fuses Smash Bros. With Marvel V...:
I greatly despise internet humor. So no thanks.
#32
Austroid commented on The Story of an Abandoned Mega Man FPS, Maveri...:
Oh my... I need to change my pants. Why the -explative- wasn't this made!? At least use it as a template for the next Metroid; a combo of Prime's FPA with some TP combat would be killer!
#33
Austroid commented on Batman: Arkham Origins Confirmed for Wii U:
Super excited! Loved Armored Edition, and this so far sounds like another great addition to Bats's best games. The 3DS sounds interesting since its being helmed by some of the amazing developers who worked at Retro; that and Metroid gameplay combined with Batman sounds like the best thing ever.
#34
Austroid commented on Nintendo Told Disney How Bowser Should Hold Hi...:
Also never noticed Bowser had a teacup. I can only imagine how much Nintendo will be on their backs when Mario and/hopefully Luigi are in the sequel, as they should be. But my dissapointment came from the fact that Eggman had no speaking line whatsoever!
#35
Austroid commented on Shigeru Miyamoto: People Need To Be Patient Wi...:
E3 will surely give Wii U owners a beacon of hope at the end of this painfully long waiting period. Smash Bros. 4, Mario U, Mario Kart, and who knows what other things are in store that the big N has been keeping secret. (Its what they're best at
)
#36
Austroid commented on Talking Point: The Unreal Engine 4 Gaffe Expos...:
In all honesty, hyper realistic graphics kind of bore me. I'd much rather see whimsical, stylized characters and enviorments; kinda like what Nintendo usually sticks to. Just walk outside if you want to see the hightest polygon count.
#37
Austroid commented on LucasArts Shut Down By Disney:
At first I was happy Disney got Lucasfilm and that we'd finally get more Star Wars movies. But now they're just doing one bad decision after another; whoring out the SW brand by making spinoff films in addition to a Sequel Trilogy within the next five years, canceling The Clone Wars, (didn't like it for the longest time, but now its grown on me) now shutting down LucasArts? Show me a reason to still trust you Disney!
#38
Austroid commented on Gaze Upon The Mega Man Figures You Will Never Own:
I'd seriously buy these-- especially the Mario ones, and display them with pride.
#39
Austroid commented on Feature: A Short History of Luigi:
Hooray for Luigi! He's truly come a looong way since his debut.
#40
Austroid commented on Capcom Would Love To Work With WayForward Again:
I agree with DarkCoolEdge. Wayforward's games aren't as great as they're made out to be. I bought Mighty Switch Force due to word of mouth, and it was as good as those dozens of games you see on addictinggames.com or crazymonkeygames.com. I think beyond the cute character designs for each game they make, Wayforward is at best an average developer.
#41
Austroid commented on Round Table: Let's Talk About the F-Zero Franc...:
I want the next F-Zero to have a story mode for every racer. Most of them have pretty interesting backgrounds. GP Legend kinda did it but the "stories" were all very short and mostly uninteresting.
#42
Austroid commented on Dillon's Rolling Western: The Last Ranger:
Please let it be more forgiving this time! I love the concept, characters, and gameplay. Just the difficulty is what kills it, at least have a "easy, normal, veteran" setting.
#43
Austroid commented on Sakurai: Online Play Will Be Improved in Upcom...:
I think I only completed one online match since I bought the game 4 years ago. Its a terribly flawed experience, and I'm suprised people managed to get consistant online play.

I want.

You got my interest at "gun-toting frog."
#46
Austroid commented on Feature: Series Reboots That Have Divided Gamers:
Insert my eternal hatred for Other M rant here.
#47
Austroid commented on Review: Sonic & All-Stars Racing Transformed (...:
This is a terrible glitched port. Many times I find my racer during the results screens not transforming when they're supposed to and either fall into the abyss water/space, or judder around in boat or plane form on the track. Also when you win a top 3 spot as Eggman his left hand is colored like his jacket! Who allowed this mess to be shipped out!? I'm definately getting the Wii U version.

Austroid commented on 3DS Stays on Top in Japan, but Wii U Falls Beh...:
Kid in Japan make enough moolah to buy their own systems then? What's their minimum wage from child labor?
#49
Austroid commented on Yes, Retro City Rampage Has A Release Date:
Horrah! Been looking forward to this ever since Nintendo Power did ongoing coverage about all the references you'll find and some of the missions you'll do. (R.I.P. NP sob)

Austroid commented on Talking Point: Sony's PlayStation 4 Poses a Fr...:
So the PS4 is the same system Sony's had for over a decade, but with "b3tt3r grafix", more social crud that gamers really don't need, and random bits attached to the controller?
With Nintendo there's a definate evolution from GC to Wii U. People complain about all Nintendo IP games being the same; but with Sony, what about the freaking console itself? The controller?
