Assassinated

Nice, I didn't know EileeMonty was in this game! She's pretty well known in the brony community, and it's nice to see her get some work outside of fan pony content.
As for the content of the article, Ugh, are people really raising a fuss over this? Black people voice white characters. White people voice black characters. Women voice boys and sometimes boys voice girls. Old people voice young and young voice old. It's voice acting, people don't have to look like the character they play, as long as they sound the part.

So let me get this straight. This is an article complaining that someone who worked on a game "liked" a post from someone that came to his/the game's defense? Really? Not even posting something controversial, just "liking" someone else's. We're really at a point where nintendolife feels the need to weigh in on this? Ugh.

@aznable Bojack reference?

Wow, until this I didn't realize how few games I'd actually played on gamecube. I only rated ones I'd owned and/or completed, so most ones I'd rented I left unrated. Same with games I'd played on another console.

@MARl0 It's a rating system 1/10 to 10/10 and you can rate any games you played, not just your 10 favorites.

@Aaronnnnn Played it on PS2 myself, so I didn't rate it here, but I must admit, Shrek 2 was a great game!

These poll answers are totally biased toward buying/liking the game. Those of us who don't play Dragon Quest, or just don't intend to get this one, basically can't give answers that even approach the truth.

I went from "this looks a bit like Limbo" to "this is Limbo, just with a different character".

I'm confused, where did he get the empty bottle?

How much you want to bet literal days worth of this time was from leaving the game on overnight, with no one playing it? I'd wager less than half of that was genuine play time.

Now every game is Prince of Persia!

Wait, I'm confused. How did this get a PEGI 12 rating? The trailer alone is incredibly heavily sexualized, and nudity was certainly implied to be in the game. What gives?

@RazumikhinPG So basically we've established it can't be a sit up or a dip, so maybe he is doing it for pleasure after all.

@RazumikhinPG But you can tell from the sleeves that the arms are going up towards the back of the head, and not down towards the floor, e.g. the sit up position.

@RazumikhinPG How do you do a dip with your arms behind your head?

I'd be all for this. I've heard great things about this game but never got around to playing it. This would give me an excuse to pick it up finally.

@OorWullie Everything is coming to Switch!

Um were they fooled by IGN's "Everything is Coming to Switch" Direct?
Pretty sure all three of these were mentioned. Is best buy also gonna add a listing for Wand of Gamelon, Carmax, and Dungeons and Brazzers next?

Pretty much anything animated using puppets is going to have characters made from just a few reused body types. Could you imagine the ridiculous amount of unnecessary work if each and every NPC in video games had a totally unique body type built from scratch?
Besides, unlike many games, each Wind Waker NPC felt unique both in look and personality.

Link checked the chest. Wow! This is a nice chest!

Give me some Pan-Fulls of Waff-cakes

Why does the trailer say January 27 if the article says March 27?

No time limits? Then what's with the clock hands revolving through each puzzle?

U

For games I don't have much interest in, I'll usually just scan the score, and maybe read the summary. Sometimes if it's a surprisingly high or low score I'll read the accompanying review. Now for games that I am interested in, I'll absolutely read through the whole review.

That is freaking awesome! I want it. I especially love the gears inside the submarine part, looks so cool!

I'm surprised this was filed under "News" rather than "Weirdness".

If I've already eaten the game on WiiU is it worth coming back to just for an easier mode for the game I've already finished on the standard "hard" difficulty?

They show more than this. In discovery Mode Lerna Lott shows inside the IR camera, shows how the HD rumble works, and more.

So far I've built 4 out of 5 of the variety kit. Just the piano to go. It is quite fun to put everything together. This easily puts lego to shame.

Reminds me heavily of Bastion.

Wait, so when does the Labo ovum coagulant kit come out? That’s like the only one I’m interested in.

Zelda 1, Mario 2
I agree, the article is misleading.

So 50 levels of 10 seconds each, this game can be completed in under 10 minutes!

Gaming can be addictive in the same way gambling can be addictive. Certain types of games have been shown to release dopamine in the exact same way that a gambling win does (especially those games that are little more than dressed up Skinner boxes). It seems irresponsible of the ESA to claim, just because some might make false negative assumptions about gaming as a whole as a result from this, that the World Health Organization somehow trivializes the entire issue of addiction by widening the definition to include rare cases of video game addiction.

Okay, for the dozen or so Switches that haven't been updated in months and can never update again, I guess a couple of those might be able to use this. For the rest of us whose consoles are more or less up to date, it won't really affect us one way or the other.

I played this game for the first time just a couple of years ago on WiiU virtual console. It remains one of my top five games of all time. As for Samus Returns, I am loving it! Last night was up until 4 AM because I just couldn't put it down! (Not the best idea in hindsight given Im have work in a few hours)

Ugh, it is ridiculous just how entitled some people are being about this. Yes the event was a failure. Big whoop. Not only did Ninantic give full refunds to every attendee, they got an extra hundred dollars worth of virtual currency, and every one of them got the legendary Pokemon that was the main prize for the event. Frankly I'm impressed that Ninantic did so much for the attendees. To suggest that the people setting up the event should have to pay for everyone who attended to travel to Chicago is utterly ludicrous.

I've seen events crash and burn far harder than this, where people who were supposed to have comped hotel rooms and travel suddenly have to pay the full amount. Actors who'd been promised payment for their appearance now were being charged for things they were promised. People were literally stranded with no way to get home. The fan community literally banded together to send donations to help those in dire straits. I say good on Ninantic to do so much for the attendees. They took the full brunt of the hit financially for this, and to have the audacity to then say to them, "not good enough, I deserve more" is just appalling to me. (If you're curious about the event I mentioned, look up Las Pegasus Unicon)

I only know about this gesture because Gavroche did it in Les Miserables. Pretty sure it basically means "Up yours".

A lot of people are saying that this is a pretty rare issue, but I don't think that's true at all. I think this is an issue with virtually every left joycon out there. The reason not too many have experienced issues thus far has to do with their tv set up, and player distance. Whether or not people have actually experienced the issue, the signal strength of the joycons, particularly the left one, is unacceptably weak. With such a simple fix, and widespread issue, I think a recall would make sense, as everyone would benefit from boosted signal strength, whether or not they've yet experienced any issues personally.

How does 4:25 get rounded up to six minutes?

@Frank90 Just looked it up, Wii U sold 890,000 units in its first 6 weeks on the market. it sold 4.3 million in its first YEAR, not first month. 2million is a huge amount to be ready for launch.

I caught 338. After 150 a mew appears, and I caught one! After 250 the ground disappears.

Wow, at first I thought this was small enough to fit in one's hand. That last video shows how freaking enormous this is!

My head canon is that this takes place in an alternate future from Wind Waker, where Ganondorf succeeded in raising Hyrule from the depths of the Great Sea.

Basically the consensus is that the article is wrong and they should go with gen 2 next.

@wiggleronacid Two words: Ten platforms.
They stretched themselves way too thin, and ran out of resources.

Since when is $4 million a lot to make a game with? Not to mention, after kick starters cut, and backer rewards, and administrative fees and taxes, they probably only get to put a fraction of that toward the actual game. Also, keep in mind with those delays, man hours are freakin expensive. The longer it takes, the more it costs, and after that initial funding, they weren't seeing a lot of new sources of revenue.
He main problem was that they just bit off more than they could chew. 10 SKUs at launch? That's insane! No wonder their resources got stretched thin.

What happens when a Nintendo game gets delayed? The development team takes more time to finish, polish, and debug the game while Nintendo foots the bill. The devs either get paid by the hour, or a salary, and the publisher takes on that extra expense.

What happens when an indie game gets delayed? Some devs work one job, and code the game in their spare time, not getting paid until it's released. It tends to stretch their limited resources to their limits, and beyond. If they had an initial surge of funding like from Kickstarter, it's tough to go back to the crowd saying you need more money. Especially if they already exceeded the amount initially believed to be required to make the game in the first place. They may have to look at other publishers to help fund the game, as had happened with Mighty #9. At this point, there is no hope of releasing a polished masterpiece, the best they can hope for is a working product that ticks all the boxes that were promised to be included, so at least they can say "even if it's not what you or we hoped it would be, we still delivered on our promises, and gave you the game".

What tends to happen with Kickstarters is that developer pitches grand vision for game. Backers go above and beyond what dev asks for to fund game. Dev promises to add features since has "extra money". Backers expect grander vision of game relative to $ above initial ask. Dev stretches self thin trying to do too much with too little (stretch goals are usually at arbitrary amounts, and almost invariably underestimated in terms of cost/time/effort to produce). Game gets delayed. Backers get annoyed. Game either gets cancelled, or game finally releases, and under delivers. Backers get angry. And finally, backers call entire Kickstarter a scam.

Climb to the top of the tallest peak in the area, leap off and glide until your stamina runs out then fall to your death (if it is enough to kill him).

@Dakt Above average for this site, but I know Game Informer at least has their average score at 7-7.5. A 6 is basically a D grade.
