Damn I used to enjoy knocking that dude out of the helicopter!

This is fantastic news. I love the look of this game, both game play and aesthetic

chiptoon commented on New Wii U System Update Goes Live:
It now gives a message saying that the software is opening, instead of seeming to do nothing after selecting a game. Which is helpful

without Wiimote controls I just can't see myself bothering. It was great on 3DS, but this reeks of cash-in.
Edit: Wiimote controls would make the purchase entirely worthwhile, since I only really played the main game on 3DS. The other modes looked great though and would be very enticing with the fantastic Resi 4 Wii controls.

chiptoon commented on Road Redemption Developer Has No Legal Worries...:
@HeatBombastic That was a bit of an off hand comment - I guess its not just the guns but the overall violence. I was a huge fan of Road Rash back in the day. Road Rash 2 was probably my favorite Megadrive game next to Sonic 2. But the tone was entirely different. Road Rash was really camp and the violence was basically comical, which was highlighted by the funny animations at the end of each stage. There were 'good' characters who generally frowned on violence and bad ones who were basically vicious bastards. It was an illegal race, where violence was an option, but not actually encouraged, and when there was violence it was comical.
Now its assassination missions, neck stabbing and guns.
The racing part looks great, just don't see myself enjoying this.
EDIT: And yes I am afraid of guns. I live in one of the more dangerous countries in the world. Anyone not afraid of guns needs a reality check.

I'd be so much more keen on this if it weren't for the guns

I thought it was a great film. It was like if Monty Python made The Dark Crystal.
Obviously less good as an interpretation of Mario.

I don't get this debate. I think its great to have casual modes. We want people to play games don't we? I'm not sure what mode I'll play this in, if I ever do, but I know my girlfriend prefers playing games just for fun. Challenge puts her off, so this might allow her and the millions of people like her to enjoy the game. She only recently started gaming, and so far has only finished Layton and the Curious Village and is nearing the end of Luigi 2. More varied difficulty means more gamers!

Man that hurts! I got it launch day. Consoles are normally more expensive here in SA, and seldom see price drops as quickly as the rest of the world. Guess that's changing.

Its so frustrating - I can't get connected to the Wii Shop, not with my Wii (I thought for a long time there was something wrong with it) but now I can't connect my WiiU either. It connects to the eShop just fine, just won't go online in Wii mode. And I wan this game soooo badly

its moments like this that I have to admit to a certain amount of fanboyism - I had little interest in this on PS3, but will almost certainly buy it on WiiU. Silly me.

Put more time into Xenoblade than any other game, over 96 hrs. Can't wait to see what they produce next.

chiptoon commented on Ninterview: Heather "Miss Gamer Girl" Cascioli:
@RaymanFan2 Not true at all.
For a start check out : http://www.theesa.com/facts/gameplayer.asp including this - Forty-seven percent of all players are women, and women over 18 years of age are one of the industry's fastest growing demographics. It annoys me when a normally excellent site like Nintendolife makes statements that reinforce stereotypes that are entirely false.
It really doesn't help change perceptions, which ironically seems to be one of the goals of making the statement in the first place.
#39
chiptoon commented on Ninterview: Heather "Miss Gamer Girl" Cascioli:
@ThomasBW84 I have no problem with the interview as a whole. But what does a typical gamer look like? Since the article specifically points out she doesn't exactly look like a typical gamer.

You're missing questions in that survey . I think I'll get it at some point, but not in September. I was looking forward to it now, but I know that its likely at that point I'll have other things to buy. So I''ll buy it cheap or second hand next year.

I think its possible that he is talking about something more than just horsepower. If he's really that much more interested in the other new systems then it means that there is something more favorable to EA about those systems that Nintendo didn't want to include. Possibly new evolutions in DRM or ways to wring pennies out of customers.
