Re: Feature: Does Super Smash Bros. Wii U's Smash Tour Live Up To Expectations?

Emblem

@datamonkey That sucks, I feel the same way about most Mario games so I understand. I wouldn't expect any bombshell announcements tomorrow in regards to games for this year since all the below games are releasing within the next 4 weeks:

Sonic Boom
Watchdogs
Planes Fire & Rescue
Penguins of Madagascar
Lego Batman 3
SSB4
Shovel Knight (EU)
Swords & Soldiers 2
NES Remix 1&2 retail
MK8 1st DLC
Hyrule Warriors TP DLC
Capt Toad (not eu)

There are also about 15 more indie games missing from the "Over 40 indie games coming out in the next few months" early October quote.

Hopefully something on that list can hold you over until Capt Toad hits our shores on the 9th Jan.

Re: Review: Ultimate NES Remix (3DS)

Emblem

@DualWielding @GAMEandASH Certainly the price point should have been alot better considering this is a trimmed down version of the Wii U game.

It may well be a lazy port but since i own a Wii U i'll never find out as it brings nothing new to justify getting it on my 3Ds (Especially at that price), which in itself is a wasted oppertunity by Nintendo to get an additional sale i guess.

Re: Review: Ultimate NES Remix (3DS)

Emblem

@GAMEandASH I wont pretend to know the technical side of it so i have no idea how difficult or easy it would have been to replicate on 3Ds. I do know however they didnt think it was a good idea originally and only caved due to fan demand.

In anycase this is the same issue Playstation faced with the psp and vita, every game that already had a version on a home console was unfairly compared and always came up short, we all know how that story ended.

I have not played the port so cant speak on the quality so im not defending Nintendo, im just stating that no one should be picking up a 3DS game and expecting it to match up to the Wii U version.

Nothing for me this week, Advance Warfare is out today for PS4 so ill likley pick it up for multiplayer weekends. Still trying to get through Stealth Inc 2 and unlock everything for Bayo2 anyway.

Re: Review: Ultimate NES Remix (3DS)

Emblem

Are people seriously suprised that a 3DS game isnt as good as the Wii U version? People are already saying the same crap about Smash bros 3DS being gimped. The 3DS is not a portable Wii U they do not even come close in terms of specs.

Re: Sounds Like Super Smash Bros. Director Masahiro Sakurai Sure Could Use A Break

Emblem

@Artwark I think your looking at it the wrong way, your seeing him as a standard game dev when he is in fact an artisan. He's not working hard to please a boss or too earn more money, he is crafting a game that embodies his vision of what video games should be. People worship him mostly in jest (i hope) but its not hard to see why people love him, if you read his Famistu column or his interviews he embodies everything that people love about video games and truly loves his craft.

Re: Review: Stealth Inc 2: A Game of Clones (Wii U eShop)

Emblem

@Peach64 I actually bothered to read that review as it was the first one out (I generally dislike Eurogamer reviews), true to form it has no actual information on the game itself and translates to "its too hard", strange considering the 1st one was merciless and yet a (different Eurogamer) reviewer gave it an 8 despite its difficulty. Seriously where's the info on co-op or level editor/sharing, game length, replay value, game modes etc?

Anyways i loved the first game so this was a day one for me anyway, but im glad to see that its technically sound and sounds better than the 1st.

Re: Nintendo Download: 30th October (Europe)

Emblem

Stealth Inc 2 for me, I expect Wii U owners to put their money where their mouths are and support this game (providing its as good as the first and bug free of course).

Fallen Skies is abit pricey considering it reviewed so badly on PC where it was also over priced. Its a fun X-com clone but the PC version is riddled with bugs so anyone interested should hold off until its reviewed to see if they remain. Any idea of the DL size? Its 8GB on PC.

SMT4 is a no for now as i simply don't have time for it with all the amazing games just released and on the horizon.

Re: Nintendo's Quirky amiibo Video Shows How They're Used in Super Smash Bros. for Wii U

Emblem

@EarthboundBenjy @rjejr They are essentially Pokemon, you set them free in the game world and you can fight with or against them, they can be customised like player characters and used on both versions of the game.

You don't actually play with them yourself and they are not physical gateways to dlc like Skylanders/Infinity. Hence they are totally optional and not required to enjoy the game but they will add an extra spice to the mix if you pick one up and know other who also pick one up.

Re: Talking Point: Platinum Games Has Secured a Golden Wii U Legacy

Emblem

Platinum are my best studio and apart from Mad World (missed it on release as and only played it after AR to see where it came from) and Infinite space (Didn't have a DS only 3DS), i've loved all their games with a passion.

I was so pissed Anarchy Reigns didn't blow up because its one of their best games and one of the best multi-player brawlers i've ever played. Can't wait until Bayo 2 arrives, i've been playing Korra and its actually very good, the only problem is the budget and time constraints are obvious by its length and lack of content. But as a budget ÂŁ9 game its awesome.

Re: Video: We Tackle the Legendary Hyrule Warriors "Master Quest Pack" DLC

Emblem

@CaPPa That's really subjective, I own both PS4 & Wii U and they are both great and complement each other well. If your PS4 is only playing DCUO & Netflix and you will not get anything until next June then i'd argue you have no interest in the other great games that are out and coming, this is due to your game/genre preference more than a lack of great games actually available and coming out.

@rjejr If you try to make a potion you will get a list of your items to select from when you try to complete the process. Not at home right now but can't you see inventory in the (poorly named) tutorial tab either?

Re: Curve Studios Outlines Release Details of Four Wii U Titles

Emblem

@sinalefa Noticed that as well, honestly its for the best as it was going to be overshadowed by Bayonetta 2.

I already own Swapper and Lone Survivor elsewhere (awesome games) so i'll only be getting Stealth 2.

Support Curve guys and gals, these guys are an indie dev worthy of your money.

Re: Hardware Review: The New Nintendo 3DS Is The Best Yet

Emblem

My XL is only 2 years old so before i rush out and get one of these i want to see more of the 3DS's future line up, apart from a few localisations and ports (FF,MH4G, YW1&2, Xeno,Tales R etc) and Project Steam there are no 3DS games coming in 2015 that we know about. Even the Wii U has more new games announced for 2015 then the 3DS, which is pretty grim in itself.

I'll wait and see what Nintendo has planned for the 3DS games wise before i make my decision.

Re: Review: Bayonetta 2 (Wii U)

@MadAdam81 That HW reveiw was BS, there was lots of misinformation and conjecture that i highlighted and the reviewer didnt even bother to check his facts and amend the content.
