I enjoyed the gameplay, but I was offended by the story, and the depiction of Samus. I felt that a more sensitive and realistic interpretation of our Samus Aran would have been better (although I doubt that affected sales) but it was hardly plausible given that Team Ninja was involved.
No matter how much a game targets non-traditional players, many of my friends on principle would never consider that a game could possibly do that with any credibility. Sad.
I was showing my sis (a Fine Arts student) some fantastic level design, and she actually refused to look at it, saying she could never be interested. I find it rare that a non-gamer would consider playing something, just because it's been designed with them as a target audience.
Really, people? It looks great to me. Mind you, I spent over 400 hours on Ninja Gaiden Black. I like the look of the combat style. The solitary angst of the previous games was fantastic, but I'm ready for some colourful action.
Wise, methinks. If people do in fact want HD gaming, there are many options available. If people need Kirby or Samus in HD, then they're probably not the target audience.
Yay for Cave Story! Actually, McD's Australia allows you to do most things, such as ordering a double pounder (that's 8 x 1/4 pounder's worth of patties).
Although they should drop that archaic 24 chicken nugget limit... Although for most McD stores, it's purely theoretical.

I should clarify- "sensitively crafted", I mean. She was too "sensitive" to be our jaded warrior.

Hmmm... I agree. That threw me.

Bring it!
My housemates used to fall asleep to the soothing music of the first game. The second had some more interesting puzzles and characters.
Yeah, I'm definitely getting any more they make.

Yep, I'd buy it on disc!
I definitely wouldn't, though, if it came out as a Wiiware release that was heavily cut down...

I think it looks rather good, actually. It seems to have a nice style to it, and the 2D, 3D interaction should make for some good puzzling.
