I really hope this is something good, but knowing square, they're just going to butcher this thing entirely. The last three mana games ranged from adequate to terrible, and I fear that squeenix is intent to maintain that pattern. Quote from the main producer of SoM: "The mana series is whatever I want it to be." Seeing as how squeenix has a personal vendetta against its fanbase, this may not be what anyone is hoping for. Good news for iOS gamers though.
Nothing but dissapointment for this teaser. There could have been so much more. Especially with all the hype it got, I was expecting more than a mere port with a couple upgrades and a weakened battle system
Am I the only person in existence that hated this game? I honestly just didn't like it. I personally don't see what the big deal about mutant mudds is. My opinion. Back off.
Needs moar TWEWY. Josh got more lines then Neku did. Although I love the kingdom hearts series, the fact that TWEWY is involved in the game at all completely overshadows the fact that kingdom hearts in general is my 3rd favorite game/series. 1st being TWEWY and 2nd being Pokemon.
HALLELUJAH! I AM SO PSYCHED!!!! (get it? PSYCHED?) Anyways, a sequel to this game would be fantastic. I would go as far as to say that The World Ends With You is the best game I have ever played. And yes, I have played games like Mario 3, Link to the past, portal, etc.
This I can actually understand. Traditionally, fire emblem games have one "lord" unit per party, which is the main protagonist. The most noteworthy exception is sacred stones, when you have both Eirika and Ephraim. In this fire emblem, the player will not only have the main lord, but their own "my unit" character. Having Marth in the game from the get-go would just be overpowering in favor of the character. This way, a player can choose to make themselves insanely powerful or not. Of course, there's always the option to have a character and just not use them but.... I'm just going to ignore that flaw in my argument.
I really don't care much about the power of the system. Sure, the super mario bros graphics didn't require a lot of power, but exactly how much more would one need? It looks perfect for the kind of graphical style it's using, and it doesn't need to be more powerful. Eventually, graphics are going to be irrelevant, as there WILL be a certain point where graphics cannot be enhanced anymore. This is what I call the "reality limit." Graphics simply cannot become more vivid and detailed then they are in real life. Eventually, we will reach the point where handhelds can play games that look as good as Crysis 2. Where do we go then? at that point, graphics can't be enhanced much more. At that point, graphical and processing power will be pretty much useless as it would reach a point where it could not advance any farther. Luckily, developers can actually focus on good gameplay at that point, not just fancy graphics to appease the salivating masses.
Kinda a pitiful April fools prank if you ask me. I still personally think the "gameboy and gameboy advance games coming to DSiware!" prank was the best one.
Hm... What advantages are there to download only video games? You don't have to leave your house to get them, you don't have to put in a new cartridge or disc to play them... Any others? No? then what are the disadvantages? Transferring them from one system to another is nearly impossible or just plain impossible, if the system breaks, there's nothing you can do about it... Hm... how can we make this better? I know! LETS MAKE A DOWNLOAD ONLY GAME THAT YOU HAVE TO GO TO A STORE TO BUY LOLOLOLOLOLOLOLO- gets shot
I would have to say NO. How could 4 swords adventures occur so far after the original four swords? and if link succeded and lived on as an adult, then why would Ganon return? Wind waker should be after majoras mask. Looks fake to me.
Sigh... No Kingdom hearts 3d... I wanted to see Neku in 3D by my birthday. (March 31st, which is ever so conveniently located at the EXACT end of the first quarter). Oh well. Soon enough I guess.
My reaction: "3D classics: Kirby's adventure trailer... Me: OMG YESYESYES "hits Europe" Me: D: FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU Yeah I'm a horrible, whiny person. I am well aware. Hopefully we'll get the same thing in America soon too.
@ Teh-Ray Admittedly, OOT3D was a slight exception, but I still found the gyroscope inaccurate for shooting. It was fast and allowed you to get in the general area quickly, but it was NOT precise in any way.
Oh thank GOD. I was worried that it was going to be a control scheme and ninty would have to modify the game to make it playable with the gyroscope controls. The gyroscope has been nothing but miserable for the 3ds. It completely ruined monkey ball 3d. Way to easy.
OH MY GOSH. this gamestop now has the most lethal thing in existence. Think about the possibilities! America can win any war now with the power that lies inside this very store! All that can be accomplished by one single item for sale in that very shot: the CUCKOO.
I want a more original title then "wii2" or "wiihd". As far as I remember, the Wii wasn't speculated as the gamecube2 or gamecubehd, and this has really been bugging me personally. And a Vcon transfer system like the dsiware transfer for the 3ds.
Dude. Poke'mon. You can never get too old for pokemon. And for that matter, mario, zelda, metroid, tetris, and the list goes on for miles. Those are a few of the game series that will prevent sony from EVER making a handheld that can compete with nintendo.
I personally prefer having a hard copy of my games. I'm much more likely to finish a game if it actually takes up space in real life. Otherwise its.... well... a waste of space. A game that is pure digital is a game I don't feel the need, nor the desire to complete.
I would just like to point out that this is only regarding the LAUNCH line up. Remember the original DS line up? I think the best games on it (not counting the metroid demo) are mario 64 ds, maybe ridge racer, and maybe mr driller drill spirits. Needless to say, the original DS line up wasn't exactly impressive, other then Mario 64. However, look forward to the future of the console. If you feel that it took this long, go to april 22 2008. While there were other revolutionary games on the console by that time, I will be using, as my example, none other than "The World Ends With You." Amazing fighting systems, great storyline, truly a revolutionary game for the system.
What I mean to say is that this is only the beginning of the 3DS and that there will probably be many great games to come. Heck, if they can cram an Xbox360 game onto the thing sacraficing a little bit of graphical powers and adding more content and features at launch day, think of what the system can accomplish a mere 2 years down the road. If you think about it that way, the system seems bound for success.
I think it would be best if a company or individual developer could suggest a price to nintendo. That way, nintendo could see if the product is worth more, less, or equal to the developers ideal price. I think that would be the best way for things to work.
Of course the delay had something to do with this. America recieved this game as the "perfect storm." Kirby had yet to make a standalone appearance on the wii (as in not in brawl) and the customers were anxious. The release rush lasted for a while, likely until mid november when it ended up on christmas lists across the continent (mine included) giving it a second rush. Europe had... well almost none of that. The anticipation for the game kind of died after america had it for almost half a year.
It's sad to see the DS dying. I cannot even begin to tell you how much fun I had when I first got the world ends with you. I still pick it up every now and then and every time I remember just how awesome it truly is.
