iPruch commented on Wii U and 3DS Online Connection Rates Exceed 80%:

Some friends said to me that they don't even ever used Mii Plaza and/or StreetPass because they don't know what they are or they were lazy to look what they are... So that 57% figure of Europe is hardly surprising for me :/

I don't know how can people spend 200€ or more money in something that they won't even look into what it can do.

iPruch commented on Review: HarmoKnight (3DS eShop):

HarmoKnight's demo and Game Freak have impressed me! This game feels very fresh, and I can't avoid comparing it with Bit.Trip Runner (which is good for HarmoKnight, I suppose). I'm glad Game Freak decided to launch it via eShop as a 3DSWare title instead of a retail full-price game. Other companies would have done it without doubting. And even at this price, I've seen several people complaining about it being expensive... I'm worried about the damage the AppStore and Google Play have done to the software's value :S

iPruch commented on Video: Zelda: A Link To The Past Gets Condense...:

A week ago I was discussing with a friend which Zelda game was better: Ocarina of Time or A Link to the Past. After seeing this video and remembering so many things of ALttP, I have no doubt about it being better than OoT. At least it is for me.

iPruch commented on Feature: The Best Soundtracks on Wii:

Xenoblade Chronicles has, in my opinion, the best OST ever made for a videogame. I LOVE it. It's not the typical RPG OST with one or two master pieces and just good ones for the rest. Instead, almost every single track is near to perfection.

iPruch commented on Talking Point: The Pros and Cons of 3DS XL:

By the way, I agree with you: This XL version is pretty ugly compared to the original. But it seems to be much more clean as well because of its matt surface. And select/home/start buttons are uglier too, but better (or they seem to be).

iPruch commented on Talking Point: The Pros and Cons of 3DS XL:

Yes, it's "XL" and its screens are surprisingly bigger. But pixels are bigger as well. I think if they knew that this model was to come out they should have put more resolution to the 3DS specifications, or enough graphical power to enable anti-aliasing in 3D mode, where jaggies dance on the screen disturbingly xD

iPruch commented on Let Camelot Know If You Want Another Golden Sun:

@Saturos +1

I'd love to see another Golden Sun chapter, even after the little disappointment with Dark Dawn (but still a good game, with its unique and magical essence). And I'd also be lying if I say that I don't want to see a Golden Sun on a home console instead of a handheld one. I love handheld consoles, and there are lots of games which prove to be better than others on home consoles (which reminds me that there is a common belief among people that home console games are always better than handheld ones, something totally unfounded). But after Xenoblade Chronicles, I can't stop imagining a home console Golden Sun and how gorgeous it could be!

Camelot, don't mind if you choose 3DS or Wii U, but don't let Golden Sun series die!

iPruch commented on Feature: Our Favourite E3 Memories - Part One:

2004 without any doubt! After seeing tons of videos about the Nintendo DS, I dreamt playing with it. The most surprising thing about that is that when Nintendo DS was finally on my hands, it felt the same way as I dreamt! And by then I had never used a touch screen before. Kinda weird, but awesome as well :P

And after that E3 and the 'megatons' announced in it (DS and that AMAZING Twilight Princess teaser, which by the way was the best ending of an E3 conference ever making hype soar up to unknown levels), I've never felt that way. I don't expect this 2012 E3 to be as epic as the 2004 one, but it would be nice. I hope someday it would go as epic as I remember the 2004 E3.

iPruch commented on Feature: The Evolution of Nintendo's Controllers:

The Gamecube one is the best traditional controller ever in terms of ergonomics, quality and button distribution. Perhaps the worst thing of it is the d-pad, but luckily it wasn't used too much.

Can't wait to see that Wii U controller on my hands :P

iPruch commented on Talking Point: Should Zelda Go Episodic?:

Another "no, thank you" here. From what I've seen, here there's some kind of collective opinion in the same direction, which is something good I think. Or at least it proves there's a big 'NO' from the fans of the series.

In my opinion, Zelda is good as it is: Constantly innovating without betraying their principles.

iPruch commented on Mario Kart 7 Update Available Now:

I'd really like to see people trying to take the bug-shortcut now (and their epic FAILS).

I hope after this update there won't be so many people choosing the same tracks again and again.

iPruch commented on New Heroes of Ruin Trailer Heads into Battle:

Am I the only one who thinks they should optimize it a lot? I see it extremely choppy for a game which has no reasons to lag that way (not graphical at least). Besides, it seems quite generic. I wonder if it would have created so much hype if S-E wasn't behind it.

iPruch commented on Mario's Presence in UK is 'Smallest in the World':

Remember that GAME financial problems and no Nintendo games stock at all because of those problems and it makes more sense. If that wouldn't had happened, then I'd say UK gamer's tastes are really bad. But hey, Mario can't be number one all over the world, there are always exceptions.

iPruch commented on Xenoblade Chronicles Team Recruiting for 3DS Game:

This can only conclude in something as epic as Xenoblade Chonicles and Baten Kaitos, or even more. It'll be nice to see such a good RPG as the previously mentioned on a portable console (and with stereoscopic 3D!). Imagine something similar on Wii U, with HD graphics and a who-knows-what-function for the Wii U controller. I'd really love to see more games inspired in the world of Xenoblade Chronicles ^_^

Monolith Soft has become, at least for me, the best RPG developer out there after the "death" of Squaresoft & Enix (actually they're not, but their "magic touch"). I hope they won't finish as Square-Enix.

iPruch commented on Zelda and Mario Up for Multiple BAFTA Awards:

I agree with all of you that are wondering why Xenoblade Chronicles does not appear there. It should be in most of the categories, and the indisputable first place on the Original Music section.

iPruch commented on Xenoblade Chronicles Hits North America on 6th...:

Thank goodness it is finally worldwide. Despite of all these troubles that NoA has caused to its distribution, this game deserves the best sale figures of a JRPG. Too bad it won't happen since its name is not "Final Fantasy" -.-

iPruch commented on Review: Xenoblade Chronicles (Wii):

This is a 11/10. If you think that Zelda Skyward Sword is a masterpiece, then Xenoblade Chronicles is much more than a masterpiece. I can't understand why it is getting worse scores than Zelda SS...

iPruch commented on Feature: The Biggest 3DS Games of 2012:

Animal Crossing <3

I fell in love with this game series with Wild World, and it's true: It's near-perfect. I can't wait to play it and do whatever I want on my own town while listening these nice melodies :3

iPruch commented on Win a Metallic Red 3DS!:

If I win it, I will give it to a friend who does not have one and wants it. If not, I hope it'll go to someone who really wants it and doesn't have one yet.

Good luck everyone!

iPruch commented on Miyamoto: "Retro Could Work with Nintendo on Z...:

OMG! Prepare for a new approach on the Zelda formula, and possibly one of the best entries in the series! If there is anyone who's able to refresh a saga without loosing its essence, Retro Studios is that one.

iPruch commented on 3DS Ambassador GBA Games Out Friday in Europe:

This selection is awesome! I've beaten Zelda Minish Cap, Fire Emblem Sacred Stones and Metroid Fusion many times, but I'm glad they included them in the bundle so that people who never played them will be able to taste such a good trio.

Oh, and that Wario Ware... think about how addictive it is. Moreover, this game is perfect for quick games and you'll never have to bring the cartridge with you anymore as it's digital format now!

iPruch commented on Gaze At This Beautiful Limited Edition Zelda 3...:

Definitely, they hate early-adopters. I bought a blue 3DS at launch day, and same with Zelda OoT. If I had known of this bundle I could have waited since I only have Zelda OoT and Rayman 3D and I haven't played with the 3DS for several months... Oh, and paying 110€ more >.<

Well, I'm not really upset with Nintendo, but I wonder why they didn't release this bundle when Zelda OoT 3D was launched...

iPruch commented on Feature: Ten Years of Golden Sun:

Too bad that Nintendo underestimates this saga. The two GBA titles were matchless, magic, awesome, beautiful... and the DS one does it well, but lacks some crucial points like difficulty, and the fact that it arrived too late. They had us about 8 years waiting! I hope Nintendo starts considering and caring a bit more about Golden Sun or a new Golden-Sun-related series.

PS: That boxart is the best I've ever seen and I admire it like a true art masterpiece. And it brings me nice memories... :-)

iPruch commented on Talking Point: The Second Circle Pad and the 3...:

@Wheels2050: I prefer to play FPS on the PC with keyboard and mouse too, there is no better way to play FPS. And that's why I don't buy FPS for home or portable consoles (excluding some punctual cases, like Dementium or Metroid which is not exactly an first person shooter but a "first person adventure" or so, but the control does not differ much from typical FPS').

Apart from this, what I qualified of 'ridiculous' is not the preference of anyone who wants to play with two sticks, but the decision of Nintendo to not include a second stick from the beginning and release now a peripheral that will make our 3DS' uncomfortable and obsolete. Not to mention that this will probably culminate in a 3DS redesign in order to include the aforementioned second stick 'natively' because they didn't thought of it before. I would also qualify of 'ridiculous' that Capcom had created in their users the need of a second stick for controlling the camera in a series (Monster Hunter) which is third-person based where a good semi-automatic camera (anyone knows Zelda?) could overcome that 'problem'.

And hey! We are talking about PORTABLE gaming. Why everyone want's to do it so complicated? I always preferred portable consoles even to play at home because is so much more simple and comfortable, but now everyone want's an ultimate-PC like portable console no matter the size or the comfortability. If anyone want's to play with two sticks, with mouse and keyboard, with wheel and pedals or with an ultra good-looking screen and graphics, PC's and home consoles are what you are looking for. Want it portable? Sony likes this approach, so get a PSP or PS Vita, but don't pressure Nintendo to do crap addons and redesigns, because the jeopardized are the ones who bought the 3DS for what it was announced to be (and it was announced WITHOUT that second stick, and all the people who has 3DS and is blaming about this knew it, so It doesn't make sense).
