@Kaine_Morrison except they have no responsibility over what the user does with a telephone(this resposibility is passed on to the operator that uses a lot of contracts that throw the resposibility right back to the user, so it's the parent's fault for giving a kid a cellphone chip if such things happen) but that's only true because cellphones nowadays don't have the communications right out of the box they need chips
@Pichubby don't play the demo for Ultimate it isn't friendly with new players at all. it's tricky, if you like the demo you'll love the game and if you dislike the demo there's a good chance that you'll still like the game.
oh and in MH3U the beggining is kinda boring. it's the kind of game that the further you go the better it gets.
@vattodev that's exactly why this kind of device is popular for gaming to the people who aren't dedicated gamers. it's far less awkward to say "it's a phone that plays games" than using an actual gaming device in such a situation.
though people like me who don't care about being judged by carrying a videogame around still have a preference for machines made especially for gaming.
@hosokawasamurai except I don't see demos and simple repetitive minigames as a reason to not get the superior games in the 3DS and WiiU
they're trying to spread the word if the dumb casuals can't see the WiiU isn't just a controller slap that in their faces when they look up their shallow freemium mobile games
@Peach64 except in call of duty you'll pretty much be against the same "creature" almost all the time(humans) and with weapons that look the same and act the same(mostly) don't underestimate what some extra flashy moves, cool weapons that take aesthetics over realism and having creatures that need different strategies to beat can do! plus military themes are pretty limited on what can be changed so CoD couldn't change too much without turning into a completely unrelated game even if the devs and the players wanted so. and the western players can't complain about MH being a yearly game(that's actually the main reason and the only one that can't be taken down )
^ pretty ironic huh? Capcom's problem is that they changed too much what was fine while almost all the gaming companies are bashed for not changing enough. XD
it just goes to show how the old times Capcom was great.
it's also weird how Capcom acts like an entirely different company when it comes to Monster Hunter(maybe it's with things that appeal to the japanese market in general)
it's just Capcom being Capcom, at least we get the extra content.(if they bring it to the west)
but I wonder how much of the newer version was suposed to be in the original but removed to not delay the release... I mean I don't think they can make so many re-releases with new content so fast if there is no removed content in the original one to use in the new one...
@Piaya the problem of the GTS are the Pokémon people ask for also those guys that even type "6IV" thinking someone will fall for that(the only person I know that fell for that is my cousin but all he lost was the weaker of his 2 Frosslasses and got a 2IV ditto)
breeding is hell for people who don't have 6IV Ditto(like me) it takes over one whole box just to get over 3perfect IVs if you don't have a Friend safari with the Pokémon you want(or a Pokémon in the group of the one you want)
@whodatninja it is pretty obvious the youtube is just an excuse, just like the "it can't look like a real weapon" explaining the new design for the laser gun. or so I hope...
@Fill-N I agree and anything can happen Sakurai only said there won't be anything like Subspace Emissary so as long it has no cutscenes and other things specific to subspace emissary it can be anything(hopefully a longer version of Melee's adventure mode)
great! cutscenes might be cool but they're only nescessary in games that depend heavily on the story. also the character "limitation" in SSE was annoying on another note, I hope this game keeps the custom stage maker(maybe one better than the one from Brawl)
yeah there's only one problem in theory. when people get used to the supercheap mobile games they refuse to pay much more than $5(no matter the currency, except the ones like yen that have higher numbers) to get a game so Nintendo would be hurt in the end.....
@FlyingKickPunch believe me nothing beats the sensation of beating Great Jaggi in less than 2 minutes with the shaka scarecrows... how can such a weak weapon be so devastating!?!?!?!?!?!
@Baum897 I think that's the new weapon, the insect staff. but yeah the shooting weapons are far harder to use(but also more efficient once you learn how to use well)
why there's no release date YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEET!?!?!??!?!?!?!??!?!??!?! can't wait, it's Kirby!!!!!!!!!!!!! my first game ever was Kirby 64! but with or without nostalgia Kirby is No.1!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!(especially because Pokémon catches me on nostalgia far more than Kirby, even before having the game I used to watch the cartoon)
@GeminiSaint actually I think speedrunners play the games even more slowly than normal people in the first time, so they can memorize patterns and paths the best they can for the speedrun.
@Falk_Sturmfels depends on the game. some games only truly shine when you beat it and many new things to do appear.(kinda like Pokémon, except gen I and Pokémon X/Y) there are also games that unlock alternative endings after you beat them once, those are quite rewarding to finish fast(at least in the first playthrough)
wow the best I could ever do was playing Kirby 64 with my feet(while playing Pokémon Crystal with my hands)
but playing OoT with the feet is a whole new level
lol Mario & Luigi's Mansion, as if the man in green needed to lose the only game he doesn't share the spotlight with Mario(Super Luigi U and Dr.Luigi don't count, even IF Mario isn't there as I don't have a WiiU I don't know, they are Luigi versions of Mario games)
