Re: Minecraft Update Removes References Of Its Creator From The Game

This community never ceases to disappoint me. Defending a racist transphobe, amazing. What, do you think he'll invite you to his mansion or something? Flip off.

And shame on anyone thinking the identities of trans people are just there for you to ""debate"", such blinding ignorance and bigotry. So stupid. This guy's awful, and you're awful if you defend him. End of story.

Re: Nintendo Direct: Nintendo Shows Off The Peculiarities of Tomodachi Life and Confirms Release Date

@sillygostly I noticed more differences between the US and UK versions, too (like Mii Reggie saying Iwata was cold blooded like a dinosaur in the US, but not the UK version). I can't tell if they're actual regional differences or perhaps just a consequence of dialogue being randomized.
@Kafei2006 Yeah, the British accents sound a lot better. The US voices are pretty much uncanny valley. Which isn't to say this game doesn't seem really great, because it does!

Re: Rumour: Steel Diver: Sub Wars Is Set In Same Universe As Star Fox

I second/third/whatever the call for a Blue Marine. Just, please, even if it's DLC. I suppose it sort of counts as a historical sub.

And yes, to anyone who hasn't played the game yet, try it out. The stuff's free, the only thing you got to lose is memory space, and you could just delete it if you don't like it.

Re: Renegade Kid's New 3DS FPS Is Moon Chronicles

5ony

@AyeHaley I actually really dug the original design for the gamepad, too. The way it looked was just so... nice, streamlined, and very rectangular and tablet like. And I do love circle pads.

But after a bit of thought, I realized that the added girth was for ergonomics, and that the sticks provide the click-in button essential for multiplatform games that a circle pad probably wouldn't have been able to pull of (at least as easily, I suppose).

And to stay on topic, I realize where the comparisons to Metroid Prime Hunters are coming from. But as Shambo said, Moon is in the style of an old-school FPS. Think more Doom and such, with only some light Metroid-y elements. And with that said, I'm kind of doubting a multiplayer mode.

Re: Renegade Kid's New 3DS FPS Is Moon Chronicles

I am really, really excited for this. I was expecting just a straight up sequel, so the announcement of a remake first was a bit of a damper. But then I saw the 3D screenshots... and remembered how much I enjoyed the original. And plus, this'll give me a reason to dust off my Circle Pad Pro.

Re: Review: Power Rangers Megaforce (3DS)

"Either way, we still hear their desperate cries for box-breaking in our nightmares. Such is the personal sacrifice we make for you, dear readers, here at Nintendo Life."

Oh man, that made me crack up. I feel terrible for laughing at someone's misery, but at least we all know never to touch this game. God bless Nintendo Life.

Re: Video: This IronFall Tech Demo is Rather Impressive

5ony

@C-Olimar "IronFall has no support for online multiplayer. We are a very small team and were working on the game since more than 2 years now, that will be too much work for us now. But if the game is a success we could start working on this features." That's what the developer said in an interview. They didn't confirm local multiplayer, but they denied online, though the excuse is only because they're a small team. So, hopefully there's at least local multiplayer.

But yes, a fun FPS for 3DS would be great. It doesn't even have to be graphically impressive (just look at Team Fortress 2, it's more stylistically impressive than graphically). As far as I know, the only FPS confirmed for 3DS is Renegade Kid's Cult County, but I'm sincerely doubting that it'll have any multiplayer since none of RK's previous FPS games ever did.

Re: Nintendo Confirms Three New Wii U Hardware Bundles for Europe

5ony

I remember reading someone's posts on the Wii U, criticizing the fact that Nintendo hadn't included Wii remotes for proper backwards compatibility straight out of the box (which I suppose is a bit strange in retrospect, since it'd be like criticizing the original Wii for not including a GameCube controller), and that person went on to claim that as the reason for them skipping the console. Seeing how the bundle with Wii Party U includes a Wii controller, I'm hoping this'll turn into a non-issue.

Re: Injustice: Gods Among Us Ultimate Edition Isn't Coming To Wii U

5ony

"We have strong relationships with third parties and have a strong lineup of upcoming games from key partners such as Ubisoft, Disney, SEGA and Warner Bros., among others."
Reading that from the previous article and then immediately seeing this article made me a bit upset. Never played nor had any interest in Injustice, but third parties avoiding the Wii U isn't really a good thing.
Whatever! Optimism for the holiday season, ahoy!

Re: Pokémon X & Y Torchic Distribution Announced

5ony

I guess you could say this is... one HOT deal!

Eh? Ehhh?
Alright, that stunk, but this is still really cool. Though, I suppose it can also be seen as a big tease from Nintendo to all those fans that want Ruby and Sapphire remakes.

Re: US Retailer Lists Luigi's Mansion: Dark Moon For Wii U

5ony

So... I suppose it would be the opposite of what Nintendo did with Donkey Kong Country Returns?
I dunno, Resident Evil Revelations was said to look worse when it was upscaled to the HD consoles. If this turns out to be true, Nintendo would need a lot of polish to make a 3DS game look good on Wii U. Of course, it could all just be a slip up from Newegg.

Re: Hyper Light Drifter Receives Official Wii U Stretch Goal

5ony

Ahhh, please let the stretch goal be reached!
I saw this game while looking around the indie games on Kickstarter (and then again when the Shantae Kickstarter offered some DLC based off of it) and I was so disappointed that it wasn't coming to a system I own (my PC is rubbish).
But yes, I am excited!

Re: UK Boy Band Union J Sign Up To Promote Pokémon X & Y

5ony

So does that mean they're Two Direction?

...that was terrible, I'm sorry.
I actually didn't know One Direction was promoting Pokemon Black 2 and White 2, feels kinda weird to know that these popstars are in the age bracket to be nostalgic for Pokemon. Wonder how the Union J thing'll go down.

Re: Mario Party: Island Tour Delayed to Early 2014 in Europe

5ony

Has anyone here owned Mario Party DS? I know Advance was pretty sparse, but MP DS was a lot of fun, even if the concept of a portable Mario Party sounds silly at first.
I had quite a few friends with DS's, so it was always nice to have Mario Party around to waste time with. Good for plane rides, too.
Granted, I suppose the limited battery life across the 3DS family is the biggest concern here, since having one's system prematurely die out would ruin the experience, but (at least from my view) Mario Party on a handheld is pretty nice!
