In my humble opinion, this is one occasion where getting the physical copy (Luigi U) over the digital is just plain not worth it. Normally I swing both ways and understand both sides, but is the physical box really worth ten dollars more?
I just still can't understand how they thought they could raise 1.5 million from fans in only 30 days. Months, sure, but 30 days? Eternal Darkness , as big of a cult classic as it is, isn't enough to make every other guy and their mother crack open their wallets upon hearing the name. But, hey, we'll see! I don't mean to be a Negative Nancy.
Edit: Or, in this case, 2.8 million. Is there a sanity meter going down in this thing? I'm starting to see naked women in bloody bathtubs! AHH!!
I am going to play this game no matter what. Hell, they could say "You're required to do the Chicken Dance while wearing lederhosen," and I'd do it just to play this. So, download it is. STILL, that's unfortunate for collectors. I feel for you all.
@Peach64 We'll see if that warning turns out true.
I gotta be honest... 1.5 million is the second loftiest Totally-Not-Kickstarter goal I've ever seen, after that Veronica Mars movie. 1.5 million. In 30 days. Really? I'm not slamming this game, I'm excited as hell that there's an Eternal Darkness spiritual successor coming, but the limits seem beyond ridiculous.
Or, to put it another way, this... can't... be... HAPPENING! But, hey, I'll support in due time.
It's not like the cartoon exactly sets the world on fire, anyway. I mean, I don't dislike it and I find it watchable, but the problem with that cat-and-mouse series is that it's just not laugh-out-loud funny. Call me old fashioned, but classic (CLASSIC!) Tom & Jerry is where it's at. Or Roadrunner and Wile E. Coyote. These 'chase' cartoons are repetitive, sure, but they amuse me. BearShark doesn't have that.
Still, it is a shame how there's no pause feature. That surprised me to read, for some reason.
Give it a totally original IP and I would have been on board. But this game is just not my Mega Man. It worked for Metroid, but Mega Man? No way. Sorry.
Heh, got this game before any of my friends. There was a midnight launch at a store for some other game, but they allowed me to pick up my copy at that time. I have fond memories of this sucker, and every now and then I give it a spin. It's a miracle we got it in the first place, all things considered.
I could have missed something, but these meme guys sound like a bunch of whiny, litigious goofs. I can understand protecting your property, but frickin' Nyan Cat? Keyboard Cat? Is this really necessary?
Dashing and daring, courageous and caring Faithful and friendly with stories to share All through the forest They sing out in chorus Marching along as their song fills the air Gummi Bears...!
@Tsuchiya I have nothing to say about this game or article, nothing at all. Sorry. But I just wanted to say, Tsuchiya, you have an awesome avatar. That's one of my favorite movies. That is all.
Great leaping monkeys of the fourth dimension! That's... WOW. Man! I doubt I'll get this game because I already have the Wii original, and the bonus content doesn't--for me, mind you, I can't speak for others--justify a re-purchase. So, I guess I won't have to worry about this 800 pound gorilla of a download size.
@AbeVigoda Fortunately, I've watched enough of your movies to know hyperbolic acting when I see it, Mr. Vigoda! By the way, I loved you in Good Burger.
Mixed feelings. Nintendo Direct has pretty much rendered Nintendo E3 presentations obsolete. But the thing is... one of my best friends and I have watched the presentations live, together, for years as a beloved tradition. So, yeah. There's some sadness to this news.
Kid: "Who's Scrooge McDuck?"
Tallahassee from Zombieland: "I've never hit a kid before... I mean, that's like asking who Gandhi is."
Kid: "Who's Gandhi?"
@Five-seveN Ditto that, brother. It got to the point where when I finally caught my first tarantula, I stared at the screen in disbelief before I whooped and hollered.
Day one from the eShop, for sure. But could they please announce PLvAA? I'm very tired of waiting anxiously at this point. That game was the number one reason I got a 3DS in the first place, no joke.
From a distance it still looks like a strawberry Pop Tart, and I do not mean that as an insult. It looks awesome! My 3DS XL is running its course (seriously, it's less durable than the standard 3DS), so if this hits the states I'll strongly consider it.
