Peacock commented on Review: Super Mario World (Wii U eShop / Super...:
This game is a completely overrated, clustered, way too loose, boring, slippery mess of a game
I still have no idea how people consider this to be the best Mario game or the best platformer, or even the best game: I see almost nothing in it.
And before you ask, yes I've 100%'d this game and got every single nook and cranny including the Special World and the Top Secret Area: I barely felt satisfied in it. Just when I'm asked to play any Mario game, this is the last one I'll ever go to; hell, I'll even play New Super Mario Bros. 2 or The Lost Levels before this.

I'm seriously considering buying this game now just to experience for myself how terrible it is.

This is looking absolutely fantastic, and I really hope that Capcom gets a major kick in the balls from this and realizes that people really do care for Mega Man and we can't take any more of this crap.

Peacock commented on No Circle Pad Pro In Luigi's Mansion: Dark Moo...:
I think the game controls just fine as it is. I really felt like I had more precision control than I did in Luigi's Mansion 1, there were only a few times where I had wished I had a little better camera control (such as when you're trying to fight ghosts with the Toads running around like morons).

Peacock commented on Feature: A Short History of Luigi:
What I honestly like a lot about Luigi is that he's definitely an outlet for Nintendo's artistically creative side. While Mario is the icon and gets his good but relatively uninspired games, Luigi's games allow Nintendo to create a new character that actually separates himself from Mario both in personality and in gameplay style. I still consider Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga the definition of gaming perfection, and for what I've played of Dark Moon so far, it's fantastic stuff. Luigi is another representation about why Nintendo's characters are the best in the industry: Luigi still gets confused nowadays for simply a Mario pallet swap, but his animations and things he does in games screams personality.

Peacock commented on Review: Mega Man 3 (3DS eShop / NES):
"Unfortunately the game does suffer from some slowdown, a glitchy weapon and relatively careless level design"
I'm sorry, those are all the things that ruin the game for me. I've never seen any appeal to Mega Man 3 at all besides some of the music, and every time I play it I find it a massive chore to do so.
Definitely passing until 4 comes out.

Sakurai man, take the break you need. Your health is worth more than playtesting.

So are we gonna call and bash every single soul who says Nintendo is doing bad just for huge comment hordes huh

Maybe this explains why the Subspace Emissary's story was so confusing and without any voice acting.

Peacock commented on Movie Review: Wreck-It Ralph:
I honestly connected so much to this movie when I first saw it that I went back and watched it three more times in the theaters. Honestly one of my all time favorite movies, and one I'm going to watch dozens of times over.

Ubisoft, Ubisoft, Ubisoft...

Peacock commented on Rayman Legends No Longer a Wii U Exclusive, De...:
I'm really more disappointed in the delay more than going multiplatform. I just want something besides Nintendo Land to play on this damn system.

Peacock commented on Pokémon Video Game Winter Regional Championsh...:
@Nibelilt If you're scared by the competitive scene just because it seems to overwhelming, then NuggetBridge is a great place for beginners to edge themselves into the metagame.
Trust me, it took awhile for me to learn it, but competitive battling really adds a whole new level of replayability to the game.

Articles about piracy are always the best way to see the worst from everyone, eh?

Sooooooo much fun with friends.

So I paid $160 on the cart for nothing...
Nah, I kid, this is amazing news! If these rereleases come popular enough, maybe our cheese dreams of Mother 3 in the US will...

Peacock commented on Pokémon Pokédex Is Coming To iOS Devices In ...:
I have an idea, let's all cry bloody mary when The Pokemon Company releases an iOS app. Nintendo is totally going to die now, for making a great app more readily available to the public.
#24
Peacock commented on Review: Pokédex 3D Pro (3DS eShop):
As much as I want instant access to the move tutor learnlist, it's not worth $15, even for someone into the competitive scene.
Pass.

Peacock commented on Shantae And The Pirate's Curse Announced For 3DS:
Did not enjoy the original, so I don't know about this one.

I can see this easily getting rigged, lol
#27
Peacock commented on Check Out These Interesting Sonic Facts:
The fact that the "SEGA!!" chant took up 1/8th of the cartridge space just blew my mind.
#28
Peacock commented on Review: Kirby Air Ride (GameCube):
This game deserves a 9, hands-down, I'm sorry.
If there's one video game I've played to repetition ever since its launch and STILL haven't gotten bored of it, it's this one. City Trial is the PERFECT multiplayer mode, and literally everyone that I have known and talked to that has played this game agrees KAR is fantastic.
Again, City Trial is the real selling point to this game, and has given me and hundreds of other people endless fun. As I decide a lot of a game's merit based on how much I'll go back and replay it, this game definitely has massive replayability, and is still one of my all-time favorites.

I'll just buy Animal Crossing physically, thank you very much.

Peacock commented on Capcom Responds To The Lack Of Mega Man On 3DS:
By "patient" he means "We're going to announce a Mega Man DLC costume for one of our games too that was already on the disc."

Peacock commented on PETA Targets Pokémon Black & White 2 in Lates...:
PETA is like that fat annoying kid on the playground: he doesn't shut up, thinks he's making a point but no one cares, and doesn't do the research.

Pokewalker was the best. Still wish it was compatable with Gen 5.

Why should I pay to get Superstar Saga now, when I've beat it 3 times already?
Because it's the best damn game ever made, as pix can asses too.

@TheDreamingHawk
"Small" detail? As in 700 children having epileptic seizures and the Japanese government banning the episode worldwide?

@RR529 No way to play them portably in perfect fashion, however.

Peacock commented on Feature: WiiWare Games That Bit the Dust:
Well, at least Nintendo learned from their mistake in that 40 MB was absolutely ridiculous.
I can make Word files bigger than that.

Peacock commented on Feature: In Defence of Super Mario Sunshine:
This came out 10 years ago?
Wow, do the times fly. Easily my favorite Gamecube game, and actually, more people I know prefer this game to Galaxy 1 and 64.
Which I totally agree with.
#46
Peacock commented on Nintendo Power Magazine Looks Set to Shut Down:
Wow umm... this is pretty depressing for a longtime subscriber like me. Despite what I've been thinking about their quality declining ever since the internet finally came to full fruition, this loss still makes me very sad, as I always used to, and still enjoy, getting new issues in the mail.
Probably guessing issue 300 will be their last, but it'd better go out with a bang as promised.
#47
Peacock commented on Feature: Our Favourite Super Mario Games:
World and 3D Land are way too freaking high.

Been playing a ton of Skullgirls this weekend.
Really enjoying it, but the difficulty spikes are absolutely random and ridiculous.

Peacock commented on Mega Man is Going to Blast 3DS Virtual Console:
It took Capcom 25 YEARS to get a full classic Mega Man game ported perfectly to a handheld...
Jeezus.
