I really don't understand the people who look at this and go, "Eh, it looks terrible."

I looked him up on IMDb to see who he played in Super Hero Squad. He played Reptil, the new kid with dinosaur powers. After seeing that, I noticed they do sound a lot alike.

I still need to get this game. Its trailer is the reason I wanted a 3DS from the day it was announced at E3 a couple of years ago. When I saw that it was a handheld game I was blown away and was immediately thinking, "I want one!"

Didn't even come close to replicating that feeling with the Wii U. More of a, "Huh. Okay."

Well, I'll bet Chris Hoffman (of the late Nintendo Power magazine) will be glad to hear this.

I think it's kind of cool many of you are outraged by the game's idiotic and insensitive treatment of a Biblical story. Most websites wouldn't care, sadly...

@Nibelilt "Wow. What the heck are people so upset about buying the concept of a new Portal for?! It'll probably only make the game cost the same Spyro's Adventure and the Giants Starter did."

They only had to buy one starter at first. Giants could just be bought as an upgrade. They're upset because they don't like the strain this would put on their wallets. This stuff is already expensive WITHOUT a new portal. I wonder how far they'll push this exuberantly expensive franchise, and if they'll push it too far?

Unfortunately, one thing that isn't infinite? MY WALLET!

"Declining video game industry?!" Yeah, right.

@AcesHigh Alright! I'm sorry I misunderstood. I interpreted it as you writing off storytelling in games completely unimportant and optional, and any game with a huge emphasis on it is doomed to be terrible. If my interpretation was wrong, I apologize. Really. I shouldn't have jumped to conclusions.

Let me reiterate, simpler and more appropriately. I think you could sell a game on its story, and it could be a good game that many people would enjoy. But other people won't care two cents for the plot. That doesn't mean the company is terrible for promoting the story. It's part of the GAME like everything else in it. The problem comes when it gets treated seperately...

@WhiteTrashGuy "Connor's Condolences" was the only one I didn't quite see why it was removed. I thought the "plot holes" may be sequel hooks. As noted in the ending, he still has a lot of unanswered questions, perfect material for the next movie. I honestly thought the deleted scenes focusing on the Oscorp guy would have just made things more confusing. I didn't notice any pacing issues.

@AcesHigh: It wasn't that Metroid: Other M had a story that made it terrible...it was the fact that it had a horrible story is what made it terrible!

Please realize that your opinion is subjective. I personally enjoy a game most when there are engaging characters and even better when there's an engaging story! It gives me more incentive to stick with a game. Some games with no plot I get, play a little, and even if I think "Hey! This is really fun!" I'll most likely forget about it and never play it again. A recent example of story providing incentive for me would be Psychonauts. Sure, it had great gameplay (that's a must; if gameplay's bad, a good story would just make it worse when it becomes a chore to see how it ends), but its story and characters were some of the main reasons I stuck with that game so well, while Skyward Sword honestly had annoying characters and a boring plot. I was bored to tears (not literally, but almost)! I don't think I will ever finish that game...

Certainly not all games need to put emphasise on plot. But when you can put a good plot that goes well with the game, it could be an excellent driving force for players like me. Certainly, the early video games didn't have much for a plot. That doesn't mean it's a strength. They also weren't 3D, had very low graphics, and very limited computing power, meaning they couldn't do as much.

Aw, no Eggman? Oh well. These were so silly. How the heck did you come up with so many jokes?

Also, Dr. Wily likes Robot Wars! I guess he has some good taste.

I already got the Steam version during their holiday sale. Too slow, Wii U.

On a side note, why do so many people diss the movie this is based on? It seems all the geeks and nerds hate it! Why?! It's way more true to the character than the Sam Raimi ones! None of their reasons for hating it make any sense! Did we watch the same movie?

Sorry, I just wanted to get that out. I just don't understand people sometimes...

That's sad, if not surprising. If Epic Mickey 2 did as bad as you say, it seems they can't make a profitable gaming franchise. One success does not a good franchise make.
...
Oh, I got first comment. That's a first for me.

"Ah, good morning, Agent M! The evil Dr. Pete is at it again..."

That Rocketeer game could have been awesome...

Heh, I've only been a fan for a few months and I already knew about all these. I can't believe that I got into the Mega Man series when I usually hate games that are really hard. I wonder how much easier the Anniversary Collection's Easy mode makes the game?

Oh, and just some thoughts on MML3...Honestly, I can see how a game with THAT much input from the fans could end up crashing and burning. I'm sure many Mega Man fans had good ideas, but I'm sure many more...didn't. And besides, how could they have possibly agreed on anything? I mean, look here on this page...some think the ZX series was awful, while others love it.

And some even think anything past the first few games in the series is garbage...

Anyways, just my $0.02...

That was much better than that nonsensical "Master Sword" thing.

I thought Link was fine...

Okay, let me get this straight...Capcom, Sega, and Namco are having a massive crossover game...AND SONIC HASN'T BEEN CONFIRMED YET?! Come on, Sega! He's like, one of the most popular characters in gaming and you haven't announced him for this game yet?! Even a Megaman is making it into this game! Sorry, guys, but this ain't no dream crossover without Sonic the freakin' Hedgehog in it.

(...then again, maybe they thought he'd overshadow the other characters, but Capcom doesn't seem to be worrying about that...)

I've never really been into Tomb Raider, but I have to say this didn't seem appealing. I haven't looked at the trailer on Youtube because it asked me to sign in because of "inappropriate content." I checked the Wikipedia article, and according to it it already has a PEGI rating of 18. Yes, I figured that the Tomb Raider franchise would go M-rated, and being Tomb Raider, I'll bet it won't be for violence...

Plus, speaking of the Wikipedia article, if it's accurate, this sounds nothing like Tomb Raider. Most noticeably, looking over the plot description (which sounds needlessly dark, gritty, and disgusting) I was thinking, "When do we get to the part where we raid tombs?" Also, doesn't sound like they've kept the supernatural elements, either. Or wait, I take that back. The supernatural elements weren't apparent in the original until it went on, but the way this sounds I don't think I want to know what it turns out is going on...

@Capt_N: Yes, agreed about the "dark and edgy" thing being dumb. These are the DC heroes for crying out loud. No one likes DC tarnishing these characters, making them fight each other and being only "sort of heroes" or something dumb like that. Look at Marvel's movie series. They know why people like superheroes. It's because they are heroes, not jerks with superpowers.

DC's characters just cannot be dark and gritty, at least not to the extent they try to play them. Superman is the hero who always wants to use his powers to do the right thing, and that's why people like him. They don't want him as an angsty demigod who struggles to keep himself in check. Even Batman, IMO, while he should be considerably darker than most other DC heroes, should still be a beacon of order and hope in a city otherwise gone to blazes.

DC needs to get their act together, because Marvel is leaving them in the dust (and I'm getting kind of sick of Batmania).

About the Skylanders-esque idea, I'm pretty sure that goes against that policy they talked about recently (regarding the new Animal Crossing). And good thing too. If they do something like that, I think it should definitely not be part of the core game (if it was fighters, that would be horrible). I mean, I haven't played it, but wasn't Kid Icarus: Uprising's AR cards more of a bonus mode?

@Doma: Aw, come on! It'd be funny, at least!

Well, if Capcom are REALLY through with Megaman period, maybe they should sell the franchise to someone else. If they never do anything else with the franchise anyway, I'd doubt they'd lose anything, and the Blue Bomber would net them a few last millions to boot. Then the new company makes new games.

Sure, we may have the terrible luck of an idiot getting the rights (at least we know it would at least have to be a large company to even afford it), but it's a better chance than the series simply ending.

I dunno, maybe that's just wishful thinking...

Who knows, I learned a few things about the original Zelda here. Maybe I'll even finish it someday.

Pfft. Yeah, right. Like I'll be able to beat a retro-hard game...

The thing with these retro 3DS re-release reviews is, it's obviously written by someone who grew up with this game. I don't mean to offend anyone, but honestly, very few people who didn't grow up playing retro games are going to find them that appealing, me thinks. For me, a really tough and frustrating game just...frustrates me, and I don't associate that feeling with pleasure.

That said, I think this is much more reasonable than the Metroid review. I can't even play Metroid. This game, my main problem isn't difficulty, it's the aforementioned aimlessness. I'm not saying that you should walk people thru every step of the game, but I think there should be some middle ground between excessive hand-holding and complete aimlessness.

Establish some loose patterns early on, to where the player can figure things out without being told directly. Like, have hidden entrances have some subtle recurring tells. Don't make them so subtle only the most eagle-eyed and persistent players will spot them, but don't have a flashing neon sign pointing to them either. Stuff like that.

I've been playing the game Jedi Outcast recently, and I think it has a good balance. Sometimes I'll get clueless about what I should do next, but I have never needed a walkthrough (I have used one, but I always berate myself when the answer turns out to be stupidly obvious). Previous games in the series (and some other unrelated games) I see the walkthrough and go "Good grief! How much time do these people think I have to spend playing VIDEO GAMES?!"

Not sure how well I stayed on subject. Oh, well. This seemed relevant when I started.

Oh. When my brother told me about this I was thinking, "Oh, so it's not just a port with downgraded graphics and no networking features. It's one of those 'exclusively built version for the Wii' games. Which...don't get much effort put into them and usually end up disasters anyway, don't they?"

And then I find out Warren Specter is the one developing the Wii version. Oh. Okay. Nevermind, the original creator is working on the Wii version and having someone else develop the HD versions. That shouldn't be too bad.

@baukster_about_new_features: I like the sound of that!

Oh, and about the Wii-U? Erhm...I heard that some people were excited about it, but...really? HD graphics, okay, cool, but what about that ridiculous controller? I really can't think of how that would enhance the kind of games I like to play. It just seems like a gimmick, and not even that great a gimmick, at least not how it was shown off last E3. It needs major improvements and more games that aren't just ports of "hardcore" M-rated dark n' gritty games (they seem to be audience-confused here. They're Nintendo, for crying out loud, and they're emphasising dark n' gritty hardcore?!). I guess Epic Mickey 2 would be that kind of game, but it won't make a bit of difference if it's the only one.

That "Revelaitons typo" link just sends me to the 404'd page.

EDIT: Yeah, it sends me to: "http://www.nintendolife.com/news/2012/01/
north_american_resident_evil_packaging_is_wrongs"
Speaking of typos...

IT'S WRONGS, MAN! IT'S WRONGS!

@Faron: That isn't neccesary, thank you. Or funny.

I think this review is a bit old-school biased. Sure, it was fantastic back in the day, but I've tried playing this game repeatedly and can't even come close to winning it (even if I cheat for everything and invincibility! I get lost!). I know some of you will probably just say I'm a wuss, but really, I need to find better things to do with my life then let some 20+ year old video game kick my butt. Repeatedly.

And really, I think if this were some other game, the reviewer wouldn't have been as forgiving of its faults. I think this is an important game, historically, but by today's standards, it has been improved upon by its sequels in every way and aged horribly.

And this is the game that got me into Sonic...period! MY FAVORITE VIDEO GAME CHARACTER! RAH! HOW DARE YOU GIVE IT A SIX!!! YOU...cough, hack, okay...Everyone's inclined to their own opinion.

But this game is still awesome.

I couldn't watch more than three episodes of that show. Everyone but Kid Flash was either stupid or a jerk. Or a stupid jerk.

Sigh...whatever. Well, you can use the old stuff. That's good at least. I'm still just gonna play games that, you know, give me the whole game for one (compared to this, at least) low price.

EDIT: Hey, Spyro doesn't even get in the name now!

@RevolverLink: Okay. I just think it's weird (and sometimes a little annoying) how most video game fans object to the localized changes, yet not the Sonic fans, especially when Dr. Eggman made more sense than Robotnik anyway, because as I said, the egg motif is just bizarre without his real name (well, more so than with it). If they hadn't made that change, we could've assumed that Eggman was simply his last name, but nooo, they had to change it. I guess in America, he's crazy.

Anyway, on the movie: I'm not sure. If this was any other company (or even another department of Disney) I'd be completely uninterested, but Disney's animation department have been making some pretty great movies lately.

Oh, and another thing, @RevolverLink: actually, at this point, I think Disney Animation basically are Pixar, as I believe a lot of Pixar's best guys are now working for them (which might explain the steady decline in the quality of Pixar films. Have you seen the latest trailers for Brave? >shudder< It looks like a...DREAMWORKS movie. Worse, actually. Their stuff is okay).

@RevolverLink: But he always has and always will be known as Doctor Eggman in Japan (why do you think he had an egg motif even as "Doctor Robotnik"?).

Wikipedia compares the cameos to those in Who Framed Roger Rabbit. That seems about right.

Guys, I think Bass_X0 was joking about the Kirby thing.

As for the game...wow. Just...wow. You'd think someone would have said something or done something or...SOMETHING before they released this. They couldn't even program the jump right!

Intimidating! (Heh, the blocky graphics almost looks just like the original.)

@Chicken_Brutus: Looks like you got off the hook this time!

Yergh. I wouldn't even touch this game. Whoever made it is obviously disturbed.

@Jumpman: Okay...there's one thing I'll never, ever see.

Heck, it just reminds me of Earthworm Jim period.

Uh...no. Just...no. Bad, bad idea.

(Watches clips)
...

P.S.
@warioswoods: What are you talking about?

@XD375: WOO YEAH! (Oh, and by the way, it's Sonic Generations Xbox 360/PS3/Steam!)
@photofool: Well, I guess that's why the site isn't called Segalife.

Heh, I haven't been on here for a while so I didn't know about the rumor to begin with, so when I saw this article I was just thinking it was kind of weird that you were posting news articles about things that are NOT happening.

I just looked at the Wii review and...gosh, I got serious deja vu just looking at this entire page.

Okay, so it's a good game. But I see no reason to get it, considering there are plenty of good (much cheaper) games already out, and I'm betting several other new releases THIS MONTH, like, oh, I don't know, Sonic Generations, Super Mario 3D Land, Rayman Origins, Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword...

I'ma playing the Ghostbusters game.

"Yes, of course. That’s why Simon’s out to rid the land of the curse of Count Draculay, and in other scary stories the heroes are battling Frankensteiny, the Wolfmay, hordes of zombays, and the Mumm... oh okay. That one works, actually. You’ve done your research!"

FRANKENSTEINY, GET ME A DANISH!!!

@3DTredder: Any demo for the PC version? 'Cause that's the one I'm interested in.

Hm. Whatever. Not interested in seeing thi...
