Re: Review: Mario Party DS (Wii U eShop / DS)

Blue_Blur

Would've bought it again if it wasn't single player only... Definitely one of the best Mario Parties, in my opinion, so it's a shame that the Wii U version doesn't support multiplayer.

Also, if you're on top of the page, it's kinda weird seeing the same Mario Party DS image normal and mirrored.

Re: Nintendo of America Has a Snazzy New Slogan - "There's No Play Like It"

Blue_Blur

Eh, not horrible, but could be better, in my opinion. When it comes to slogans, I think simple, short, and easy to remember ones are the best. And... I don't think this slogan is any of those. I don't know, I just don't think it sounds very business-like... doesn't roll off the tongue either. Oh well, if it works, then I'm fine with it.

My favorite gaming slogan is "SEGA does what Nintendon't". I've always thought that was so clever.

Re: ​Disney Infinity Has Been Cancelled

Blue_Blur

Wow, this is sudden. Even though I never got into this series, I've always thought it was popular enough to keep the series going... feel bad for those who really enjoyed the series. At least the figures look nice, and will still look good on display. Also hope the employees find new work soon.

If Disney is stopping the toys-to-life gimmick, Activision and Skylanders might not be that far behind. Maybe even have a small chance of bringing the original Spyro back if Skylanders stops? Probably not, but hey, I can dream!

Re: Video: Enjoy More Star Fox Zero Puppet Shenanigans in These Trailers

Blue_Blur

I like the last one, and the other two are okay, but I think the intros to them are kinda weird. Golf... Star Fox needs your help! And dance show... Star Fox needs your help! O.o

But Peppy and the spider... priceless. XD

I also think the first two don't do that good of a job of describing the game. Besides "save the galaxy!", nothing else is really mentioned. I feel like someone who has never heard of Star Fox would be totally confused. The last one was clearly for comedy; it catches your attention, and introduces the audience to the characters the best, in my opinion. Hopefully the last one with get the most screen time.

Re: Video: A Look at Five of the Worst Mario Boss Fights

Blue_Blur

Pretty much agree except for King Boo. I like how it was a creative boss fight, nothing ever done before, and felt really fresh in a Mario game. The other bosses in the video where simple: either do ____ 3 times to win, or it's over in 5 seconds. For King Boo, it's stomping moving panels, throwing fruit; certainly nothing generic! I just think it's a cool boss fight!

Re: Talking Point: The 3DS Faces the Challenge of Taking Nintendo Through 2016

Sad to see the Wii U slowly becoming an afterthought to the 3DS. Besides Color Splash, a few other games, and maybe a surprise game that we don't know about yet, it looks like the Wii U is just about done. Even Zelda is releasing on the NX, too.

I've always felt many 3DS games could've been on the Wii U to begin with, like Dark Moon, Uprising, Federation Force, as some examples. Those games are certainly not bad on the 3DS, but I think making all these on the 3DS in the first place was how the Wii U never really got as popular, plus bad marketing of the Wii U.

Don't get me wrong, I'm very happy to see the 3DS going strong after all this time, (I love my 3DS!), but as a player who is more often on the Wii U, it's sad to see the 3DS pretty much take over on the Wii U's final months before the NX.

I hope the 3DS lives up to expectations will all the new upcoming releases, though! Seems to have a quite exciting lineup!

Re: My Nintendo's Rewards Have Been Updated for May

Blue_Blur

Putting discounts on semi-popular old games that most people already have isn't the best idea in my opinion... it makes a lot of people have limited options to spend their coins on. I'm really hoping for physical rewards soon, since none of the rewards as of now really interest me.

And to make matters worse, with the last deals from Club Nintendo, I got Minis on the Move and Dr. Luigi! XD

Re: ​Talking Point: What Would You Like to See From Pokémon Sun and Moon?

Blue_Blur

I never finish Alpha Sapphire since it was too easy, and repetitive to me. If Sun/Moon had these things, I would be really happy:

-Better story
-Harder difficulty
-Customizable characters like in X/Y
-Pokeseals from SoulSilver/HeartGold
-More post-game story other than Looker
-Left-handed controls for Super Training
-Have one of your Pokemon follow behind you like in SoulSilver/HeartGold

If most of those things happen in Sun/Moon, then they will have a sale. Those wants will make the game different enough, while keeping the same format from being too repetitive and boring, in my opinion. Hope some of these make it into Sun/Moon!

Re: Poll: Are You Confident About Nintendo's 3DS Focus for 2016?

Blue_Blur

I wish they were focusing more on the Wii U to be honest, but the 3DS still hasn't lost it's charm, and is still delivering amazing games.

This year though, for 3DS, Federation Force, Kirby, Monster Hunter, etc. doesn't interest me, so kind of a boring year for me. But, it does give me time to go through my backlog and catch up a bit. And I have Rio (Wii U) and other Sonic games to look forward too. Even though I'm not interested in some of the games, I know they'll be very good, so I'm confident that the 3DS will be fine for another year with this lineup until the NX is officially revealed.

Re: Splatoon's New Update Just Went Live

Blue_Blur

The burst bomb nerf is gonna take some getting used to, but it's not as bad as I thought it would be after some practice with it. The new slosher though... I was hoping it would be better. Just not my playstyle, I guess. The old, original slosher is still my main! I do appreciate the decreased time to launch an inkstrike, it's helping a lot already! Also, the increased slosher slosh rate is great! Very useful in all situations. I'm satisfied with the update.

Re: Random: Mario & Sonic at the Rio 2016 Olympic Games Shows That Mii Characters Aren't to be Trusted

Blue_Blur

@Knuckles: The Sonic amiibo powers up the Sonic suit into Super Sonic, which obviously increases the speed stat. I haven't tried it out myself, but I would assume Super Sonic would get close if not better results than Gold Mario in the 100m.

Just to clarify about the OP equipment, (like the boxing gloves), you don't need to use those types of equipment in the story, as well as the costumes. There just extras in case you want to use them, completely optional. Other types of the same equipment with "fair" stats are available in the story.

But I will admit that a Mii running the 100m in a tuxedo is a bit weird...
