Re: Poll: The World Can't Get Enough Of Pokémon Yellow, But Which One Did You Buy?

HawkeyeWii

I had Yellow and Red as a kid, so I obviously went with Blue, although at some point, if there is a discount, I may pick Yellow up as well.

On a side note, I believe it would be very wise of Nintendo to
re-remake these original 3 for the next handheld, whatever it ends up being. I can definitely tell you that I would buy it day one.

I liked Fire Red and Leaf Green, but I still feel that they just aren't as fun as the originals. Although I strongly believe Heart Gold and Soul Silver are much better than their respective originals.

Re: Why We're Still Playing… Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver

I didn't think I would ever outgrow pokémon, but I feel like it is beginning to happen. I super thrilled for the VC releases of the original 3 games, but any new original release, just doesn't entice me anymore. I haven't had fun with an original release since Pearl. I don't know whether it is because of the amount of pokemon now or what. It just seems daunting and at the same time, like they are running out of ideas. I wish they would just make a cutoff soon and have no more new pokemon.
Keep making games of course, but just with the what; 700 they have now.

Re: Video: Watch The Epic Pokémon Super Bowl Commercial Right Here

HawkeyeWii

Pretty decent commercial and I understand that at the end there they show "20th Anniversary of Pokemon", but what is the point in a commercial, especially a commercial like this that cost A LOT of money if is being shown during the Super Bowl....... and it isn't selling a product...
Why don't they include at the end, that "Pokemon Red, Blue, and Yellow, are all available again on 3DS". Just seems like a wasted opportunity to me.

Re: Review: Mario Kart 64 (Wii U eShop / N64)

HawkeyeWii

To be honest I think this Mario Kart will forever age the worst out of the series. If you look back not even 10 years ago, this was still hailed as not only one of the best mario karts, but also one of the best racing games ever, but if you look at it now, a lot of its flaws are starting to show.

Re: Amazon Lists Pokémon Red, Yellow And Blue At 10 Bucks A Pop

HawkeyeWii

I could see Yellow maybe reasonably going for that price, just due to it being in full color and being the deluxe version of the three.
If I were to realistically price it though. I'd make red and blue $4.99 and Yellow $6.99. But 10 bucks is a little crazy. I was really excited when this was announced but now I'm really not.

Re: Site News: Nintendo Life Turns 10 Today

HawkeyeWii

I've been using the site since 2009. It took me a couple years to make an account though haha. I have checked the site at least once a day since. You guys have done a great job! Keep up the fantastic work on the best Nintendo news site around!

Re: Review: Hogan's Alley (Wii U eShop / NES)

HawkeyeWii

With all the pointless accessories that came out for the NES, you would have figured they would have released a magnum zapper where you would have to reload by pulling back the hammer, all cowboy style before each shot.

Re: Nintendo Is Making Female Characters Cover Up For The Western Version Of Xenoblade Chronicles X

HawkeyeWii

@Yorumi Yeah I understand that. There are a lot of games that have stupid and impractical costumes as well. But if I were to choose an impractical costume that looks out of place for a videogame character, I would have fun with it instead of just resorting to taking the clothes away. Why not a big panda suit, or a Mario hat and overalls? I love when games do that kind of stuff because it is funny and matches the Nintendo theme. I guess it isn't some much the impracticability that is an issue but the fact that they are resorting to sexualizing the characters.

Re: Nintendo Is Making Female Characters Cover Up For The Western Version Of Xenoblade Chronicles X

HawkeyeWii

@Yorumi That is true, but look what all the males in the game are wearing. What is the point in making her look like that and I assume a lot of the other female characters look similar to this as well.
I think the Japanese need to keep it in their pants some times. Design a female character for once that has her skin reasonably covered and can act like a normal human being. Not just something for the male nerds hunched over their controllers late at night to drool over.

Re: Nintendo Is Making Female Characters Cover Up For The Western Version Of Xenoblade Chronicles X

HawkeyeWii

I live in an America and fro the most part I think the censoring of things over here compared to other parts of the world can be a little absurd at times, but I definitely agree with this. The character models for that character are just down right stupid and impractical. I fail to see the importance of dressing a character like that in a game such as Xenoblade Chronicles X.
In a game like Bayonetta, it makes more sense because it is sort of part of the game's shtick, but it makes no sense for Xenoblade.
