cradles baby and smiles warmlhy "... And then Samus Aran, for no good reason, lost all of her credibility and was rendered a monotoned, dull simpleton. That's why some greats like Yoshio Sakamoto can fall so hard! Yyyes they can! Yyyyyes they can!" eskimo kisses baby
This was cute. Wasn't completely faithful to the original story, but I still think it's adorable..

MagicEmperor commented on Level-5 Trademarks Professor Layton and Miracl...:
Inferior title aside, I'm excited and relieved. From my understanding, and please correct me if I'm wrong, this series is way more successful in Japan and (especially) Europe. Unless I'm mistaken, the sales have incrementally decreased in America, which got me worried. I'm happy to hear this news, but now I'm waiting for one particular game's localization to be confirmed. The number one reason I got a 3DS in the first place: Professor Layton vs. Ace Attorney.

MagicEmperor commented on Mighty Switch Force Update to Remaster All Levels:
Excellent! I had such fun with the original version that I forgave its short length. As long as they keep making more levels, I'll keep playing 'em. Can't wait for Thursday!
Edit: The "retry" button that will be added is also a serious plus, because it was tedious to have to exit the level and reselect it every time you flubbed and wanted to take another shot at the 'par' time.

MagicEmperor commented on Peter Molyneux Wants More From 'Lacklustre Wii U':
For my money, Peter Molyneux is an example of a man whose reputation exceeds his actual skills. As someone who's played Black & White and Fable, I feel that, though he is entitled to his opinion, and I do agree to an extent about this particular issue, I think it's still way too early to write off the Wii U.

MagicEmperor commented on Redesigned Wii U Tablet Controller Is Revealed:
The problem with me is... I simply can't give my two cents until I try it for myself. I will hence reserve judgment until I get my hands on the Wii U.
#6
MagicEmperor commented on Mario Kart 7 Update Available Now:
This isn't fair! If the glitch is in the game, it should be legal to use it. This is just ridiculous.
Ha ha, just kidding.
I couldn't happier about this. My friends and I kinda gave up playing online because of these exploits, so now we'll definitely play again!

MagicEmperor commented on Review: Spirit Camera: The Cursed Memoir (3DS):
I want a true blue Fatal Frame game, not this kind of AR spin-off. I might get it anyway if the eventual bargain bin price is very slight, but I'm still disappointed that this wasn't a full-fledged FF title. In the meantime, I'll just keep playing Mask of the Lunar Eclipse.

MagicEmperor commented on Nintendo Reveals New Super Mario Bros. 2 for 3DS:
Sigh I honestly wanted a different kind of Super Mario 2D platformer. Oh, well. I'll still play this.
#11
MagicEmperor commented on This Giant Paper Samus Must Scare Off Burglars:
That's awesome.
The best thing about this paper Samus, though, is that it won't uncharacteristically freak out over Ridley, it won't fawn over Adam with stupid and dull monologues voiced by a mediocre actress, and it won't all around destroy the Metroid I love. This paper Samus has a better personality than the piece of sludge personality given to her by Yoshio, for Other M.
I'm sorry for not being temperate. Rude of me. All round, this is a great statue!

MagicEmperor commented on Miyamoto to Show Wii U Mario at E3:
I hope it's fresh, I hope it's a little risky, but most importantly, I hope it's Mario. Personally, I can't wait for the announcement!

You have my undivided attention now! I'll keep tabs on this game.
#15
MagicEmperor commented on Talking Point: Is Nintendo Over-Reliant on Sup...:
As long as Nintendo keeps making Super Mario games, I will keep buying them. Everyone is entitled to their opinion, as I am to mine: if Nintendo is over-reliant on Mario, then I don't want them to change.
Besides, it's not like Nintendo has never made a new IP.

Oof! Well, rest assured that this American will buy these two games in the near future!

MagicEmperor commented on Review: 90's Pool (DSiWare):
Ah, the 90's. How I remember thee. I first played pool in the 90's. What an amusing coincidence!

MagicEmperor commented on SEGA to Cancel Games, Focus on Existing IP:
I definitely have my eyes on Rhythm Thief. I sure hope I can wait long enough for the altered release date...

MagicEmperor commented on First Epic Mickey 3DS Screen Shows Scrooge McDuck:
@RR529 That won't happen, yeah.
#21
MagicEmperor commented on First Epic Mickey 3DS Screen Shows Scrooge McDuck:
Okay. I know I've said a few times before (perhaps curmudgeonly) that the first Epic Mickey left a sour taste in my mouth, and I wasn't too excited about The Power of Two. Well, I have to confess, this particular game, Power of Illusion, has definitely interested me. Way to go!

@Oddy Splendid!

MagicEmperor commented on GAME Group Files for Administration:
Being an American, I am completely unaffected, regrettably. Still, best of luck, GAME's staff.

MagicEmperor commented on There's a Chuck E. Cheese Game Coming to DSiWare:
If we buy soon enough, will our game come with 'pizza' that tastes like cardboard?

MagicEmperor commented on Surprise! Disney Announces Epic Mickey 2 for Wii:
@Rukiafan Snow White. Fantasia isn't exactly a musical in the strictest sense of the genre. While it's all about classical music, it doesn't have actual show tunes. [/major Disney nerd]
#26
MagicEmperor commented on Surprise! Disney Announces Epic Mickey 2 for Wii:
Call me a contrarian, but I thought the first Epic Mickey was beyond disappointing. An excellent premise ruined by mediocre execution and a truly abysmal camera and controls. This sequel would have to be a vast improvement for me to even consider giving it a rental.

MagicEmperor commented on Nintendo Leaves BAFTA Empty-Handed:
Have fun, Peggle HD! Me, I'll stick with Mario.

MagicEmperor commented on Nintendo Download: 15th March 2012 (North Amer...:
Thanatos Rising was pretty... um... I'd have enjoyed it if I literally turned off my brain. Though I was amused by how the villain had the most non-intimidating voice possible. It was like Ed Wynn trying to destroy a town. I dislike Pit's voice, and the blog joke made me cringe.
That said, I'm still excited about Uprising, and I might check out these GameGear titles, seeing as I've never played them.

MagicEmperor commented on Kid Icarus: Uprising Won't be Available from G...:
Well! I just lost the GAME.

MagicEmperor commented on Mad Dog McCree Takes Aim at 3DS:
Heh. I played the original in an arcade once. It was good for a laugh, but I'm giving this 3DS iteration a pass.

MagicEmperor commented on Review: Punch-Out!! Featuring Mr. Dream (3DS e...:
Eh... Despite being one of my favorite games of all time, I doubt I'd buy it for the third time. I already have the original Mike Tyson cartridge, as well as--oh, who am I kidding? It's Punch-Out!! on the go. I guess I will.

MagicEmperor commented on Interview: Camille and Kennerly - The Harp Twins:
They're purdy, and I love the harp. This is chocolate mixed with peanut butter right here... doubled!

MagicEmperor commented on Spanish Pokémon Team Disgraced:
@iPruch Of course not. THESE people are just losers; they don't represent the whole.
#35
MagicEmperor commented on Spanish Pokémon Team Disgraced:
It's relieving to hear that the police was called to wipe them out. I can't believe the crap that those jerks pulled. You'd think they came from the bowels of the underworld, by how they acted. Usually when I get in trouble in a hotel, it's because I scat-sing in the hallway. But THIS... Tsk, tsk.
On an unrelated note, my old handle was DingleDootie.

MAH BOI, this peace is what all true warriors strive for! I have never, ever, ever in my life ever met anyone who owned a CD-i.

Hm. I already got Metroid on the Wii's VC, so... I don't know. I did get Metroid II: Return of Samus, though.

MagicEmperor commented on Review: Mario Party 9 (Wii):
Now, this looks like a solid return to form for the franchise. I'm definitely picking this up. My brother, friends, and I can't wait.

MagicEmperor commented on Nintendo Japan Reveals Cobalt Blue 3DS Console:
@YashaTheSlayer This! Yes, you speak the truth! No offense to anyone, I don't mean to offend, but that launch color--Aqua Blue or whatever it's called--really isn't the shade of blue I like, at all. This Cobalt Blue is much more appealing to me, and I wish that was the kind of blue at launch.

MagicEmperor commented on March's Club Nintendo Rewards Are Up Now:
I bought Mario's Picross before. Ah, well!

MagicEmperor commented on Review: Successfully Learning Mathematics: Yea...:
Unfortunately, I don't want to learn when I play video games. I play video games to escape reality, not practice it.
#45
MagicEmperor commented on eShop Game Size Limit is 2GB:
I had a hunch the limit was somewhere around 2GB. It's a good thing Nintendo upped the limit, because 40MB was beyond limiting.
#46
MagicEmperor commented on Review: May's Mystery: Forbidden Memories (DS):
I played the Doctor Lautrec demo and I despised it. I also won't give May's Mystery a try. And, no, I don't think Nelson Tethers is excellent, either. You just can't beat the Professor.
