E3 is so soon, I don't see why everyone is so upset over this presentation. They wanted to reveal Pokken for Switch because of the invitational to garner interest at E3. So it'd make a lot more sense to have a much bigger reveal during that.
If it was a simple port I'd be shaming it along with you guys... But they actually rebuilt the game from the ground up for this version... Also, unlike the PS3 and 360 versions of SF2HD, this one will include the classic visual style as well. I know, it sounds like I'm defending for silly reasons, but the fact they rebuilt this game from the ground up definitely helps with the price a little bit...
It's already confirmed there will be a hard mode within the game to begin with. The DLC hard mode was considered a NEW hard mode, which probably means more of a Hero mode (mirrored world and harder enemies maybe?).
Regardless, I pre-ordered it because I'm already going all in on the Switch (even got the collector's edition of BotW), so why not.
I think you guys are making a mistake... I didn't see them do any punches in the video. From what I see and understand, Doing a hadouken does a hadouken, swinging your right arm upwards does a DP, and swinging both to the side does a hurricane kick (which I assume is what some of you believe to be punching)... Seems like you only have three situational moves for the mode. The guy just seemed to be (like most people playing ARMS) giving a bad representation of the mode... Not saying it'll be amazing, but it may be fun yet.
I think people on here are forgetting one key piece of information. We are getting a complete game that's already gone gold...
Sure, they could've timed this announcement better, but as it stands there is no "cut content", as they started developing the extra content AFTER it went gold.
I know it's a popular thing to cry foul whenever Nintendo tries something new, but chilling out and seeing how things turn out has never killed anyone when it comes to game expansions...
Let's be realistic here, Zelda BotW, Super Bomberman R, and I Am Setsuna are enough to hold anyone over until Shovel Knight/Sonic Mania and the next games to release.. I say this because we need to enjoy these games, not rush to beat them and demand the next one. If we are having fun and enjoying the titles as they come, then hardly anyone will worry about the small selection. ESPECIALLY once Mario Kart 8 Deluxe and Splatoon hit... Even ARMS (which I am a strong supporter of, it's worthy of being at EVO)!
I guess all I'm trying to say is, One game at a time. Really hype to get my hands on one at launch, and even more hype to know that some of my favorite JRPGs are making their way over too.
Everyone says it takes until around the 30-35 hour mark before you get your Skell but I got it at exactly 17:34:28. Marked it down because I felt like I was setting a record since every reviewer claims it takes almost double that time (and I didn't even rush the story, I even probed all but two probes in Primordia and got around 25% discovery on both Noctilum and Oblivia).. Guess I was just really feeling it. I did play 25 hours worth in two and a half days...
I just got Mario Maker for Christmas. It's an absolute joy, perfect for taking small breaks from XCX. If anyone wants to try out my first little level (not great but I just wanted to make a quick Shulk level), here is the code: CA6A-0000-0140-05B8
Hope you all enjoy the rest of your Christmas break and have a great New Year!
@LilCI I like how you tell me something we all know. He was in Smash on Wii, so it wasn't a SUPER long shot that he could reappear. But it's all over now, just glad Bayo is in!!! Cloud is fun too.
@allav866 or they could do a Shulk style switch mechanic where you can change between the different members of the team. But a color swap would suffice too I just want them in there.
@BigBabyPeach It would be on the level of saying "we want young Link" even though we already have two perfectly fine Links. Except in this case it's a character that's bulky and honestly not even truly that worthy of being as popular as the Internet makes it seem.
@andrew20 okay, well Snake is a fantastic character who was a lot of fun in Smash on Wii.. His move set is already existent so he'd be easy to work in, and people love him. Of course it's ultimately up to Konami, which is not in high standing with anyone right now.
@andrew20 oh... My... Lord..... Snake, from Metal Gear Solid... You know, that one famous Japanese game series... He was in Smash on Wii... He's also one of the most iconic and famous Japanese game characters of all time..? What are you going on about????
@sjredo yeah. If they announce Wonder Red I would be so happy. Having the whole main crew available to swap between at the push of a button would be fantastic. UNIIIIIIIIIIIIITE SMAAAASH!!!!
Hate to be that guy, but I think King K. Rool would be a very poor edition to the roster. Just seems like a character people demanded even if they never played classic DK games just because everyone's doing it. Also, his move set would be more than likely that of a mixture of DK and Bowser...
Okay, anyways, I personally would love to see Wonder Red and crew (can have a switch mechanic like Shulk), or maybe another Platinum personality. Sora would be cool, and I guarantee the votes are there, plus with the announcement of Square Enix's agreement to put Cloud in it wouldn't surprise me too much. I know Goku got a bunch of votes but I can't fully see it... Klonoa would be a cool Namco addition with Pac-Man, but I doubt anyone voted for em... Honestly it's all up in the air, but we will find out soon enough!!!

Re: PlatinumGames Will Celebrate Its 10th Anniversary This Year
@EllenJMiller go for NieR. It's more of what you'd expect from Platinum. Scalebound is an RPG that is less action-gamey than the norm for Platinum.
Re: PlatinumGames Will Celebrate Its 10th Anniversary This Year
P* is my second favorite developer to Atlus. Looking forward to Nier and Star Fox!!!

Re: FAST Racing NEO is Going Up a Gear in January Update
I love this one, so I'm glad it's getting further attention by its developer.
Re: Game of the Year: Nintendo Life's Staff Awards 2015
Xenoblade Chronicles X was certainly the highest point of this year in gaming for me, as I've waited years for it and it does not disappoint.
Re: Editorial: Xenoblade Chronicles X Has Tiny Text - Time for an Update?
The text is fine for me. Then again, I have quite a large tv and I'm not too far from it.

Re: Feature: What We Expect From the Super Smash Bros. Final Video Presentation
@KickButt_Gaming should add Wonder Red to that, since W101 is a Wii U exclusive and has pretty much the same fanbase as Bayo.

@BigBabyPeach It would be on the level of saying "we want young Link" even though we already have two perfectly fine Links. Except in this case it's a character that's bulky and honestly not even truly that worthy of being as popular as the Internet makes it seem.
Re: Feature: What We Expect From the Super Smash Bros. Final Video Presentation
@KickButt_Gaming well he didn't even know it was Snake from MGS so I think he was just misguiding himself.
Re: Feature: What We Expect From the Super Smash Bros. Final Video Presentation
I could also see Inklings getting involved since Splatoon is popular and the ability to change your characters color would lend itself well to them.

Re: Feature: What We Expect From the Super Smash Bros. Final Video Presentation
@andrew20 no Snake in Smash? What are you, some kind of elitist who hasn't grown up from Melee?
Re: Feature: What We Expect From the Super Smash Bros. Final Video Presentation
@andrew20 adding another FE character would add to the "too many sword fighters" arguments.
Re: Feature: What We Expect From the Super Smash Bros. Final Video Presentation
@eltomo I want Punished Snake in the new Smash, or him from MGS3 would be good too.
Re: Feature: What We Expect From the Super Smash Bros. Final Video Presentation

Re: Feature: What We Expect From the Super Smash Bros. Final Video Presentation
@Broosh glad I'm not alone. He is absolutely the least appealing character I could think of for Smash.
Re: Feature: What We Expect From the Super Smash Bros. Final Video Presentation
Hate to be that guy, but I think King K. Rool would be a very poor edition to the roster. Just seems like a character people demanded even if they never played classic DK games just because everyone's doing it. Also, his move set would be more than likely that of a mixture of DK and Bowser...
Okay, anyways, I personally would love to see Wonder Red and crew (can have a switch mechanic like Shulk), or maybe another Platinum personality. Sora would be cool, and I guarantee the votes are there, plus with the announcement of Square Enix's agreement to put Cloud in it wouldn't surprise me too much. I know Goku got a bunch of votes but I can't fully see it... Klonoa would be a cool Namco addition with Pac-Man, but I doubt anyone voted for em... Honestly it's all up in the air, but we will find out soon enough!!!
Re: Nintendo Removes Ironfall Invasion From 3DS eShop Ahead Of Ironhax Exploit Release
