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.

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!

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? :P

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 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.

@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!"

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!

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 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. :P

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!

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 :P )

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.

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!

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.

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 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?
