wonderful

So that new art style was used for this...it looks pretty ok. It's a 3D platformer, so that's already a big plus for me.

@CanisWolfred Pretty much. I appreciate doing new things with your franchise, but it kinda defeats the purpose when you're just making a sub-part ripoff of other action games. But hey, it's the most relevent Castlevania's been since SotN, can't blame them for continuing the series.

this game sounds amazing every time I see or hear anything about it. Really looking forward to it.

In b4 someone tries to find the Sun's Song in the grave.

I would be disappointed if they decided not to. The more terrible fish puns, the better.

@Frapp Considering my past experience with Ubisoft Montreal games, this shouldn't be too scripted. Not anymore than 99% of video games at least.

@Lan Wii U. I've heard horror stories of Ubisoft DRM on PC. And this might be the top game that needs to sell as much as reasonably possible on Wii U when it comes out that I'm not entirely certain will.

Depends on the replayability. From what I understand, if the Devil May Cry series is being compared, that means it won't be like as short as even say, Sonic Colors. I'm sure it'll be fine.

I'm not a iOS hater (beyond burying it exclusively for the lulz) but this was also a lightgun-like game right? So wouldn't this version possibly be way too easy?

@SpaceApe 1/5

I'm glad I didn't get them ASAP now.

I don't think Symphonia is like some amazing, brilliant JRPG (even an inferior GBA port of Phantasia I felt was a lot stronger) but it was a really good game that was desperately needed on the GCN, which had next to no RPGs at all. Also the soundtrack is brilliant.

@Raylax I was gonna make this exact comment.

Apparently the main guy in charge of the project was also in charge of Incredible Hulk: Ultimate Destruction. That alone helps a ton.

While I think it's questionably too typical FPS-like (it looks creative in some ways at least), I'm too biased towards anything Retro to believe they wouldn't make it a bit more...Megaman-like, especially if they had fan feedback.

Also whether you like it or not, this would have made a decent amount of money (or at least be more successful than most Megaman games) and maybe have kept other games around instead of cancelling everything good that is Megaman just because Megaman. And Inafune would be involved with yet another of the few Capcom games this gen to be successful outside of Japan.

Again, plenty of ways in which this could have been a bad/disappointing Megaman game, but I'd give ex-Retro guys the benefit of the doubt.

It deserves every penny it got.

R.I.P.

I still love his Wizard review where "even a dummy like me knows that they only got to level 1" of the old NES TMNT game.

I'm consistently mixed on this. I mean, I'd love to say that the Japanese should continue to do their own thing with gaming but considering how much that has actively hurt a lot of companies financially, they kinda have to pander to the west if they want to still matter outside of Japan. Or at least a lot of them haven't found an alternative. I mean, this isn't a definitive thing about every bit of japanese gaming and I think Inafune fails to realize that marketing kinda sorta matters, but considering how the guy had to make games behind Capcom's back in order for Capcom to have a big hit in the west again beyond Resident Evil (Lost Planet, Dead Rising) I can't really get mad at the guy despite some obvious stupidity on his part.

@mariobro4 To be fair, Dead Island and Fez really honestly don't interest me in the slightest even with my not high standards for gaming. Wake me up when people don't want Bioshock on the system, then we'll have something.

@Ryno And all is right in the world.

@ouroborous 1/10

Oh no, now we can't have pointless 3D added to their budget!1!!! Yeah, this is fine. Also Wii U needs it more anyway.

Two Brothers looks more and more like a phenomenal game. Not hyperbole, there is a distinct possibility this could be one of the best games of the year.

"We promise some of these games will actually be released Edition"

@TwilightV
I think they did Avalon Code, an interesting action RPG thing on DS and I know they did Fragile Dreams, which has some of the best story/atmosphere of any game I've played. Granted, both games are very flawed...

Well I don't think so, but maybe it will help? By port standards it's clearly far above average, which is appreciated.

I should once again point out that XSEED are the coolest people and one of the most underappreciated publishers around.

@Peach64 Uses VGChartz, expects to be taken seriously.

ok

@PeachMelba ok

@SirQuincealot Yes, by a few months actually.

@trondood I think he forgot "said no one ever". But regardless of making fun of people for having different opinions (and I'll laugh at you if you take that too seriously btw), who is "us"? Who is this "us" that won't buy Metroid unless it gets a reboot? Does he have some connection to the Metroid Anonymous group that presumably formed after Other M? Like when did he get this information? Who? Oh but of course, since he wrote it we must ALL want a reboot in order to want to buy a Metroid game again. Why not, he wrote it so he can say whatever people want regardless of reality.

@AbeVigoda I know! I'm sure some person is gonna be OFFENDED that some fanboys will overreact to this and defend it because ANON DEVS SAID SO, but this doesn't suck because it's against Nintendo. It sucks because this opinion is annoyingly overdone, this is another person who has no interest in comparing it to other console launches or anything (which could still make it look weak compared to the competition as Peachgirl or whoever in the comments has pointed out, so this is a bizarrely lacking from most people writing on the subjct), and outside of a couple of somewhat worthwhile points, this only elevates itself from being just boring and overdone by being childish and from the perspective of the nostalgia-obsessed that will grow up to the be the "you kids these days" stereotypical, old curmudgeon.

Also, apparently companies will go bankrupt for that 360 and Ps3 "respect"...I know what he's trying to say, but he said it in such an idiotic way.

So can I also pretend to be in the industry while blatantly being generic forumwhinerronerydude complainer?

"Zelda hasn't been exciting since Ocarina"

invalid opinion forever

Oh that seems pretty cool-INSPIRED BY LITTLE KING'S STORY?!

Day 1 buy.

My god are people still complaining about this?

@brandonbwii I played a bit of the first one and...yes...and no. It plays quite well and is one of the few games where swimming is smooth and fun, and the game is unique and kinda fun. On the other hand, the difficulty is bad and for bad reasons and poor ideas for puzzles etc.

Good. This is one of those japanese series that flat out deserves to be legit popular outside of Japan (instead of just beloved by parts of the internets) and should after the neverending praise it deservedly gets. Same with Fire Emblem and SMT. And this is coming from someone who isn't a fan of any of those series.

@DerpSandwich
Wind Waker, niche? ...no.

You are right about the rest, but that's society's problems for buying mediocre games instead of Platinum and cool stuff. (and everyone who bought yet another NSMB game is equally guilty, so no hypocricy)

Oh cmon guys, throw the devs a bone.

999. 9 Hours 9 Persons 9 Doors or whatever the order.

Also, some Punch-out and Paper Mario Sticker Star. Honestly the best thing about Sticker Star's I guess format is it means it's ok if I take as long as possible to get anywhere in the game.

it's like Christmas

Cricket? You got to know what a crumpet is to play cricket!

i'd honestly agree with him, but he acts like more than a few 3DS games have worthwhile use of 3D anyway...

1. That is an awesome title.
2. That might be one of the best newer 8-bit songs I've heard. Gets me pumped! Yeah!
3. I love how every other kickstarter describes their game as "a mix of all the games you played as a kid....and Dark Souls!" They know their audience.

Ignoring quality or different genres, Two Tribes is just not relevant enough in any sense to work on a decently important Nintendo title. I mean good for them for having optimistic goals but...

THE WORLD ENDS WITH U!!!!!

I just thought of that literally right now.

@DudeSean Because I'm smart enough to get support for my opinion with the easiest examples instead of being controversial for no real reason.

@Knux Yeah, god forbid gamers do more to support games other than CoDs and the like.
