Re: Bayonetta's OG Voice Actor Asks Fans To "Boycott" Third Game After PlatinumGames Wage Fallout

GinMiguel

I wasn't going to buy this game because Bayonetta never grabbed my interests. However I've seen other VA's treated worse then her and were way better sports about it and none of them ever made the request to fans she made.
You know instead of demanding fans of Bayonetta to boycott a game they've been looking forward to for a while and that tons of hardwork went into (Devs, VAs, Programers, Managers) ect. Why doesn't she just sue Platinum? I'm sure everyone who sympathizes with her would love to GoFund her for lawyer bills.

Re: Poll: So, What’s Your Verdict On The Mario Movie Trailer?

GinMiguel

I am in and looking forward. Really feel those skeptic of this movie before seeing this trailer rushed to judgement. I liked how they sounded, looked and interracted. The movie reminds me of the World of Light cinematics. Not absolutely predicting a home run but looking on the brighter side. Also wondering about Yoshi or Daisy if they're in it.

Re: Takaya Imamura Celebrates Star Fox Adventures' 20th Anniversary

GinMiguel

The first Star Fox game I've owned. Played it 6 times I believe. Use to love it back in the day but really mixed on it now. I do still like the locals and some UI choices like the item select being done with the left joy stick is something I wish modern Zelda would do. Also best looking Star Fox game in the series. But I find exploring tedius and I no longer enjoy the puzzles or bosses except for the T rex at the walled city. I also don't like that we get scolded for revisiting the floating islands or can't get Krazoa's and spell stones together.

Maybe because I've played it so much that I know it too well that the game is predictable or that Zelda games exposed me to more challenging puzzles and a more engaging over world, with a better pacing in the story.
I don't want to say like everyone else that it would've been better off if it stayed as rare''s own Dinosur Planet because. Because 1) The Star Fox universe would not be the same and 2 the game by standards now would've either been overshadowed by the N64 Zelda's as Adventures already looks in adequate next to them now. Also I'm not sure Star Fox would've continued back then given that Miyamoto was already making DP as Adventures on a whim being that Saber and Fox look alike.

I do love the fan remake project done by esphirian. If that was an official project on the Switch, I'd definitely get it.

Re: Nintendo Direct Showcase Confirmed For Tomorrow

GinMiguel

And people here said there wouldn't be directs anymore. Regarding the contents of the direct. It seems remasterings of gamecube Zelda and Metroid are in anticipation. I wonder if we get the remastered versions of TP/WW and MP1 or they show up on a potential Gamecube online subscription since its been a year since N64 online was announced. Now we could get something different like the gb/gba or nothing for the online service tomorrow but I don't know.

Re: Rumour: The Mario Movie's True Title Probably Won't Shock Anyone

GinMiguel

@AnnoyingFrenzy They don't even need this movie to do well or would let how well it does dictate them branching other IP. Furokawa has already been enthusiastic about the animation/film business. If its true that a Donkey Kong movie spin off staring Seth Rogan is following much like him following Mario in the theme park. Then it will happen regardless.

Re: Talking Point: How Were You Introduced To Metroid?

GinMiguel

Smash Brothers was how I was first introduced to Samus. Technically I think my first experience with a Metroid game was playing the demo of Fusion for 10 minutes in Electronic Boutique back when they were in business. Its how I found out Samus was a woman because I died during that game.

Re: Xenoblade Chronicles 3 Executive Director Teases Series' Future

GinMiguel

Great, I'm kinda hoping they get back to Elma and Mira, I haven't played X but I know that game has a lot of fans and I hear that game ended on a cliff hanger. Perhaps giving people who love that game might be more. Either a sequel or in a definitive edition deal like the first game got. Maybe fix that cliff hanger with an expansion like future connected.

Re: Designing The Characters For Xenoblade Chronicles 3 Was Apparently 'Hellish'

GinMiguel

Well honestly yeah, best looking crew we've had. Even the Nopon Riku and Mañana seam more vibrant to me then past Nopon leads. The leads from 1 felt a bit generic and 2 looked exaggerated. But this looks like a compromise, It especially helps that we can change their look with the class switching where we can kind of customize the group by swapping out their outfits with each other.

Re: Talking Point: What Are The Nintendo Switch's Defining Moments (So Far)?

GinMiguel

All significant but for me, I'd say giving the more obscure and niche series a rise, helping them find bigger markets and game sales. Giving the likes of Fire Emblem, Xenoblade, Kirby, Yoshi, and Metroid a lift in sales and attention while even giving the big guns Mario, Zelda, Smash, Animal Crossing and Splatoon the best sales in their series (Mario excluded).

Re: Nintendo Is Adding Pokémon Puzzle League To Switch Online's Expansion Pack

GinMiguel

Man, Nintendo's gotten faster with these roll outs. Here we thought releasing both N64 and Genisis games together would mean the roll out would take twice as long as the SNES games as I think we'd get them at the rate of two months, granted it was a few at a time. But now, I felt like it wasn't so long ago since we got Mario Golf and Pokemon Snap.

Re: Poll: What's Your Game Of The Year 2022 So Far?

GinMiguel

Kirby has the crown so far. Though Xenoblade 3 is the only other game I'm looking forward to just as much. Could give Kirby a run for its money. Who Knows if either will be seen by the Game Awards. Kirby wins family game thats for sure.

Re: Round Up: Every Game And Trailer From The Nintendo Direct Mini: Partner Showcase June 2022

GinMiguel

To be honest, this was a better showcase then I thought it would be. From surprises that I myself fancied like the paceman world, Megaman battle network collection, and sonic frontiers to stuff that while not up my ally are cool to have here like Nier, Mario and Rabbids 2, and Persona. Kind of feel like Partner Showcases have their place now. I'd almost go so far and say to this was as strong traditional e3 direct and even those aren't always top notch.

Re: Rumour: Nintendo Leaker Shares Details Of A New "Finished" Fire Emblem On Switch

GinMiguel

I kind of hope in the new game talks. I loved three houses but it kind of felt they were trying to get in on Persona 5 and what made that game great. I also wonder how the game narratively or mechanically would've went if Edelgaurd, Claude, and Dimitri, were the focus rather than Byleth. I also kind of hope we have something like the monastery but its something more broken up into smaller big areas. The monastery while immersvie gets kinda repetitive on revisits. And triplely so if you're marathoning all 3 houses.

While I get the appeal of romancing who you want. I also kind of miss the scripted romances like Marth and Caeda or Alm and Celica. They were the real deal. The whole player romancing x nice but it kind of feels artificial. The characters only have chemistry to my will not chemistry of their own to get entranced with.

Re: Nintendo Files New Company Copyrights For Illumination Mario Movie

GinMiguel

I'm looking forward to what possibilities this could lead to. Miyamoto and Furukawa said Mario wouldn't be all they'd do. I see potential for DK, Zelda, Metroid, and Star Fox getting films or Fire Emblem, Animal Crossing, Kid Icarus, and working out as shows because they parody or take inspiration from them.

Right now I don't really see this leading to a Smash Bros style crossover movie/show akin to Avengers or Justice League.

Re: Sonic Central Broadcast Airing On YouTube And Twitch June 7th

GinMiguel

Thoughts, expectations, and/or hopes
-A trailer of Sonic Frontiers that clears stuff up about that game and gets a better message of it across, maybe delaying it in the process perhaps.
-The Sonic Prime trailer
-Its probably too soon for that 2d Sonic game that Zippo spoke of to be shown off so I won't put stock much into it.
-Same with the Knuckles spin off by Paramount Pictures
-Origins is a given
I'll also give a shout out to that Sonic Satam Season 3 fan made project.
