Bass_X0 commented on Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney - Dual Destinies ...:

Capcom's been burned too many times with experiments. They've almost made themselves bankrupt a few times due to taking chances over the past twenty years. These days they prefer to take the safest routes even if they are not the most innovative or adventurous.


Many people will be downloading the game regardless of the consequences of Nintendo not having an account system. Some of us have spent hundreds on downloadable games. So it comes across as a self-entitled ego to not take the same 'risks' to play the game when so many other people are willing to do so. Its a Phoenix Wright game so its going to be good and worth the full cost.

@PP - yes really, otherwise everyone outside of Japan is going to miss out. I would rather not read an article with the title "Capcom suffers huge financial losses after releasing Ace Attorney 5 on cartridge in America".

Bass_X0 commented on Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney - Dual Destinies ...:

TBD, for years you've been seen to be one of the biggest Ace Attorney fans on NintendoLife. All of us fans have anguished over not being able to play AAI2 so seeing you react this way is quite surprising. You would seriously rather not experience this game at all than play it digitally?

And the same to the other guy who won't play the game at all just because he can't share it with his brother? Just seem like petty reasons to me.

Capcom predicts selling it at retail would be a bad move for them. So its either digital or not at all. As a fan, I don't care how its distributed just as long as I get to play it officially in english. I find people to be selfish to not agree with me on that. Not wanting it to be translated at all just because you personally don't like digital games, denying everyone else the chance to play the game? You had your way with AAI2, so let us real Ace Attorney fans be able to play a new game.

Seriously, the 'joy' of having a game box on a shelf is more than actually being able to play the game? And so what if your 3DS breaks a year or whenever after you completed the game? You still got to enjoy the game, unlike AAI2 which never got released in any format. Why can't people just enjoy playing games, and not focus on what may or may not happen in the future, or the meaningless 'joy' of having a box on a shelf?

Bass_X0 commented on Nintendo Download: 9th May 2013 (North America):

why would I buy a game that's already out on the Wii VC? especially when you'll be able to tranfer them to the Wii U gamepad soon, for a small fee.

I don't have a Wii U, but my understanding is that you can only update your Wii VC game to play on the Wii U game pad once they have been released on the Wii U shop. So today its Xevious and Solomon's Key that you can now play on the gamepad for a small fee if you have already downloaded them on Wii.

Bass_X0 commented on Talking Point: DLC's Increasingly Important Ro...:

There already have been "paid" DLC for Pokemon. Only those who travelled to certain stores were able to download specific Pokemon. Wanted a Mew for the original Pokemon on GB? You had to pay to travel to wherever the download event was being held. Okay so you're not paying Nintendo for the download but it wasn't strictly free either unless you lived within walking distance.

@BizCutHammer - DLC is the price to pay for today's modern graphics and power. The old days also had 8-Bit, 16-Bit and 32-Bit graphics. Do you want to return to the old days of graphical power too? Today's games look amazing and often have a lot of speech included too. I would imagine that if the games that have DLC didn't have it, that content would not appear in the game.

Do I want Street Fighter X Tekken without any possible way to play as the DLC characters we did get or do I want Street Fighter X Tekken with the option to pay for another 12 characters? Its a no brainer. The more characters the better IMO. I don't care how the DLC happened, if its something I want then I'll pay for it. Capcom asked 100 Wii Points for Rise From The Ashes in the first Ace Attorney game for WiiWare. Should it have been included with the main game at no extra cost? Should it have been included with the main game and cost 1100 points instead of 1000? I didn't care. It was worth it to me and as far as the points / enjoyment factor went, it was a great deal.

If DLC isn't worth it the cost or has no interest to me, then I won't get it. I downloaded some additional content for My Life as a King/Darklord but only what I felt was worth paying for or needed. Thankfully I don't have OCD that I have to buy all the downloadable content that is produced whether I need it or not. I don't care if my game is "incomplete". There's no point in paying for stuff I don't want or need.

Bass_X0 commented on Review: Balloon Fight (3DS eShop / NES):

One of the least played games on my 3DS as an Ambassador. Its just not fun to me.

I do think that maybe they should rebrand the series with Kirby for a sequel. The gameplay kinda reminds me of floating with Kirby.

Bass_X0 commented on Review: Mega Man (Wii U eShop / NES):

Now that the original NES Mega Man game can be downloaded on every modern Nintendo console, I'd now like them to port Mega Man Powered Up to 3DSWare (removing the inclusion of the original NES game obviously).

Bass_X0 commented on EA Plans For a Future With Micro-Transactions ...:

@#104 - Games in the 90s were smaller and had far worse graphics than games now. Sure 90s console games had no DLC, but you have to take into account other differences too.

I paid £80 for Super Street Fighter II on SNES (imported) and only £35 for Street Fighter X Tekken. Even with DLC characters added to the cost, the modern game still offers much more value for money.

Bass_X0 commented on Review: Donkey Kong Jr. (Wii U eShop / NES):

Much better than Ice Climbers. That was rough, this is just old. I hated the collision detection in the 1980s when I was a kid. But now I've been enjoying the game on 3DS as an Ambassador. I wouldn't have paid for the game though.

Bass_X0 commented on Angry Video Game Nerd Adventures Is Coming To ...:

I still enjoy AVGN. Even if you mentally "white noise" out the swearing and offensive references, so that you ignore it completely, it's still a good and enjoyable show to watch.

Saying that it only appeals to people who laugh at someone who swears and makes offensive references is not true.

Now the satire reviewer that does quite annoy me is Zero Punctuation. He really rubs me up the wrong way.

Bass_X0 commented on Review: BurgerTime Deluxe (Game Boy):

BurgerTime appeared on the GameBoy Color with a Flintstone's license attached. Unfortunately that won't come to 3DS VC due to licensing issues. I've played it and I found Fred to be slower than Peter Pepper in the GB game, making it much harder.

Bass_X0 commented on Capcom Looking To Provide "Better Single Playe...:

In that regard, SSFIV3D was a total letdown: no unlockable characters, missions...pretty much arcade mode.

It was just a port of the console game. Giving the 3DS unlockable characters would have meant locking characters available from the start in the version we did get. There were unlockable characters in the first SFIV game but people complained that they didn't want to go through the process of unlocking characters so everyone was availble for Super.

But we did get the trophies to collect. Its not that great a thing but its there.

Lin - its a fighting game. Of course its going to just link fights together. But that doesn't mean they always have to be throwaway. The writers just have to take more care in producing the story.

Scir - no story there. Just fighting to gain new abilities and higher stats.

Bass_X0 commented on Capcom Looking To Provide "Better Single Playe...:

I want a consistent story. One that ties in to other characters storlines. If you want to see the full story for the character you're playing as, you would have to play through story mode as other characters.

Right now, Street Fighter storylines are contradictory. Guile and Abel in SFIV meet each other for the first time twice. I didn't like that. Which is the actual meeting that happened?

I am okay with the layout to how the stories are right now. Intro - personal win quotes against each individual opponent, a rival match and an ending. That does not intefere with the gameplay. My problem is that some characters don't really do anything and seem detached from everybody else. Not everyone has to be the main hero or villain, but give the minor characters some role too.

Also, its okay if storylines don't take place in the same era. Ryu could have multiple storylines detailing his path from Street Fighter 1 up to Street Fighter III. We could fight Sagat at the end of the first Street Fighter tournament and give him his scar. Then we could play the next storyline and see the aftermath to those events as seen in the Alpha games.

But consistency and lack of contradictions are most important to me about what the Street Fighter storyline should be. No multiple path storylines either please.

In the future, every mid-size developer or smaller will be devoured by a larger company who would just close down the smaller company and refuse to take on any of their IPs.

Bass_X0 commented on Talking Point: The Download or Disc Dilemma:

Depends on the cost.

However, I have been buying up Virtual Console games that I already own the retail release off and then selling the cartridge. However, I don't need to own NES games on 3DS that I have already downloaded on Wii Virtual Console.

Bass_X0 commented on All New DuckTales is Coming to Wii U:

http://www.capcom-unity.com/ask_capcom/go/thread/view/7371/29823007/why-did-you-decide-to-remake-ducktales

Frankly, you guys asked for it, here on Capcom-Unity. That's why.

About two and a half years ago I started working toward this with Disney because people here kept asking for it (and because I'm a fan too). About a year and a half ago I completed the general outlines of the deal. Disney was on board (and really excited). I then sold the whole concept of the project to Japan as we took it through greenlight.

Wayforward was actually Disney's suggestion given their creative director's LOVE for the original and after we did due diligence we totally agreed. Matt Bozon is a star and their experience with Shantae and Mighty Switch Force made them the right choice. Jake K. ("Virt") on the music was also a deal sealer for us. They've been wonderful to work with and we've kept this title very underwraps, even internally. For example, I don't think anyone in Japan has even seen a build at any point so far (maybe until today :)).

As for the future, I'd like to not get ahead of ourselves. I'm thrilled at the fan response this morning but for the moment, we're going to stay focused on making this project a success. If it works, we can think about other opportunities later but let's not put the cart before the horse. :)

Bass_X0 commented on All New DuckTales is Coming to Wii U:

I think Capcom should have released their old Disney games on Virtual Console rather than do this remake. The only thing holding them back before was that they didn't have the license, now they do (probably temporary though).

Bass_X0 commented on Review: The King of Fighters '98 (Wii Virtual ...:

The way I see it, the more fighting games they release the quicker they run out and have to release other genre of games. But I would like Waku Waku 7 released. Personally, I am thankful that they are concentrating on fighting games that I am interested in and not sports games which I have no interest in.

Bass_X0 commented on Art of Fighting 3: The Path of the Warrior:

Thats another series completed on Wii Virtual Console. Played this in the Art of Fighting collection on PS2 but wasn't a fan. I didn't really like any of the Art of Fighting games, however I do like seeing the characters cross over to King of Fighters. More Art of Fighting characters in new KoF games please, SNK.

Only D4 Enterprise cares about the Virtual Console right now. And fighting games do make up a large number of the NeoGeo's catalogue. But they are giving us NeoGeo games that aren't fighting games such as Metal Slug.

D4 enterprise need to release KOF 99 - 12 on the wii U virtual console.

The series only goes up to 2003 on NeoGeo.

Never cared for this. I remember being interested upon first playing it but i quickly grew bored of it. Its less a fun puzzle game, and more a tedious trial and error game.

Bass_X0 commented on Talking Point: Review Scores and Unwinnable Ar...:

I would prefer a pros/cons than a score.

How would that work on a list of 200+ games? The DSi has a lot of generic titles but have wildly different quality. The pros and cons cannot be listed beside each game. Out of 10 provides an at a glance perspective when looking through lists of numerous games. I like to arrange the lists by score order and look through them that way.

Bass_X0 commented on Talking Point: Review Scores and Unwinnable Ar...:

Arguing that they help the gaming industry is just laughable.

Not saying they do. Looking through the list of games, I'd rather read a review of a game that is rated highly than a review of a game that is rated low. Why read a 4/10 rated game to see if its good enough to buy?

Bass_X0 commented on Talking Point: Review Scores and Unwinnable Ar...:

When I'm looking down a list of games for what I may be interested in, I don't have time to read each and every review. So I just go by review score and read the highest ones to see if it is my type of game.

And I agree there are some games on NL scoring 6/10 that I'd rather play than some games rating 9/10. A lack of originality may not be a turn off in some cases despite the review being negative due to it. I loved the Phoenix Wright games on WiiWare but NintendoLife hates Phoenix Wright because its near enough a straight port of the original DS games which doesn't bother me, and it was also rated low because of the poor motion controls which I've never used.

Bass_X0 commented on Nintendo Download: 14th March 2013 (Europe):

I don't understand why isn't released a VC game each week.

Completely agree. I know Nintendo can't force other companies to submit games for release but Nintendo should be making more of an effort of those games they publish themselves. It used to be that the reason was if they released everything now, they won't have anything to release later. But as we've seen on the Wii VC, "later" came and went and the games we wanted still didn't get released. Now they don't release any more games on the Wii VC.
