I love both, Online and local multiplayer, equally. Some of my best gaming memories come from Local multiplayer, however, those late night Xbox Live party chats were a blast. Besides, you meet a lot of cool people online. Not everyone is an ignorant, troll jerk waiting to curse you out and throw racist slurs your way.
As much as I would love to get these, I won't get them. They look fun to have as a novelty item I suppose, but if I'm buying headphones for $100 I'm going to aim for a quality, sturdy product and I just don't trust these. Looks awesome though.
Stella Glow caught me by surprise. I saw an article for it on this site and completely just waved it off as another random game I probably would never care about. Randomly tried the demo because, why not, and fell in love with it. Strategy games such as Fire Emblem and the like, aren't my thing, but that game is charming.
As far as everything else goes, the only games I really care about from Nintendo in 2016 are: Star Fox, Zelda U/Twilight Princess HD, and Metroid Prime Federation Force (as long as the single player is good. Don't much care for the multiplayer aspect, but if executed well then whatever.) The large majority of my gaming time will be on Street Fighter 5, then will be split when Persona 5 comes out.
This was nothing short of amazing. I was already enjoying the video enough as is, but then they threw that Goofie reference in there, which made it that much more enjoyable. Awesome job.
@J-Manix98 Final Fantasy 7 is definitely one of my favorite JRPG' s of all time, along with: Xenogears, Chrono Trigger, Grandia II, P3&P4. As far as final fantasy goes, it's the best one, in my opinion.
I honestly don't know how I feel about this; I mean, this is an amazing announcement for sure, but I would have loved to see him in Allstars instead. It's kind of odd seeing Cloud in this game, however, at least that Cloud vs Link rematch can finally happen!
PS - Anoybody knows when we'll get more info on NX? I want a Wii U but I don't want to make that purchase if NX is around the corner. If it's a year or less away, I might as well wait it out.
@Kaze_Memaryu like @Midnafanboy said, I don't care how many people are upset. It's just a game. Nobody should be wishing misfortune on anybody over a harmless mistake. People may be butthurt, but they'll get over it. The job that man does puts food on the table and pay bills, and to literally want him to lose that job just because of one error that pissed off self entitled fans is too much. I agree he should take responsibility for his mistake, but he shouldn't get fired.
I'm still going to get it. I loved the first one, so I hope this one will be just as good. I follow games, regardless of what system they are on, if it's something I like, I'll get it.
@SecondServing I agree with you on this. When I saw these articles this morning I was upset, yet excited at the same time. I like the fact that they added another circle pad and made the system stronger, but as a Student myself, I won't be able to afford one right out the gate. And it especially sucks that they will be making exclusive games for this specific system. I doubt Xenoblade will be the only game like this, which is also bad because that is the game I want to play the most. I just got my XL last Christmas, so you can only imagine how I feel at the moment.
Are you guys surprised? I mean, I see it all the time. "We don't care about M rated games, keep that mess off of Nintendo systems!" Is what I see coming from the majority of the Nintendo fanbase. It's a shame that the small minority who actually care to play those types of games can't, unless they get another system, which sucks because not everyone has the money to do so. Now that Ubisoft acknowledges this, you guys get upset?
This game seems pretty cool. I have to admit I didn't much care for it when it was announced but now looking at it again, I just may have to make this a purchase.
@Spoony_Tech How is Overclocked? I have been looking to buy a Shin Megami Tensei game, but I don't know if I should try Overclocked or IV first. Whichever one will be my first.
@sinalefa Agreed, Seeing as how Rock was one of my main characters I used, I would love to see where his story goes. Maybe they will bring him inside the new installment of KOF.
@Hy8ogen SNK play more has renewed the KOF license. Not sure if they are still recruiting more people to work on the game, but it has been confirmed (for a while now) they are indeed working on a new KOF game. This time with 3d models. Whether or not it's in the same vein as in Guilty Gear Xrd (actual 3d models on a 2d plane) or Tekken. Either way, it's being made.
@GreatPlayer Haha, dude you shouldn't let that stop you. It's pretty beginner friendly now, and if you really want to learn how to play I can send you to a few good websites to help learn.
@droe2001 Lol dude, relax. We all know the drought is on all consoles, but that still doesn't change the situation for the Wii U. Plus, it's expected for the other consoles to be lacking games when they literally just came out. Last time I checked, the PS3 started off slow as well with the games, correct? Look at it now. Same with the 360. The reason why the Wii U drought is catching attention is because it has been like two years now, and they suffer from barely releasing anything. I'm pretty sure the Wii U will get a lot more games in the future (hopefully) but dragging the other consoles in the mud won't make the situation any better.
@Jazzer94 I agree with you about the realism part. I enjoy the cartoon style stuff too, but a little bit more variety would be nice. Especially for those who don't have enough to purchase a new console, or just want to stick with Nintendo.
@Mega719 there are. The online for those games aren't nearly as populated as the more recent titles, and are hacked to death, but they still get a lot of play.
Wait, this is real? I though this was fake for some reason. I honestly can't see why anyone would get this. The only game this would be used for is Street Fighter, and anyone even remotely interested in that game probably already have it for consoles.
@Zombie_Barioth Yeah I guess I brushed it off too quickly, so I'll get back in to it, thanks. Though I might as well just download Freedom Unite again since I wouldn't want to spend money on MH4U and end up not not liking it.
@Yorumi If Nintendo made games for PC I would convert to PC gaming real quick. To have awesome Nintendo games along with 3rd party gems all on one platform (especially one with great performance capabilities) would be awesome.
Not really liking this. It just looks kind of boring, no flare at all. The hype around this game is pretty amazing though, it makes me want to give this game another try. Tried Freedom Unite on the Vita and didn't get pass the first couple of missions because I was bored to death.
Man that illustration that shows off the newcomers is awesome. I don't know if it's Just me but when I see amazing artwork like that for a game I just want to play it even more.
This game is very beautiful to look at. Platinum Games are easily one of my new favorite game developers. Now I can't wait to see how Scalebound looks.
