Re: Mother Brain Revealed As An Enormous Super Smash Bros. Assist Trophy

HorseRenoir

@I-U I don't think anyone wants any part of the franchise ignored. I personally think that they should care at least a bit about Prime,not ignore the rest of the franchise entirely. I was annoyed how Prime had so many fantastic areas and they picked the most generic one for Brawl. I just hope they don't pick Magmoor Caverns and just make another lava sinking level out of it.

Re: Satoru Iwata States That Nintendo Should "Abandon Old Assumptions" About Its Businesses

HorseRenoir

Please. I mean,I think their games should mostly stay like they are,focused on gameplay instead of 10 hours of cutscenes,but there's a lot of things to get better. Like the online. Make a account based system,put online multiplayer on games like Super Mario 3D World. Hell,why not release enhanced versions of VC games? Imagine Super Smash Bros. Melee online. I mean,things like that wouldn't save the Wii U,but it sure would help. The other companies do all that and it works,it keeps the players happy.

And,I know this is actually a new Nintendo trademark,but please,stop with the endless tutorials and hand-holding. The first three hours or so of Mario & Luigi Dream Team are painful. And I don't have to say anything in that matter about Skyward Sword,do I?

You can do it Nintendo. I still believe in you.

Re: Masahiro Sakurai Teases New Super Smash Bros. Stage With Palutena Image

HorseRenoir

Kind of wish we would have a Uprising based stage for the Wii U,but,alas,we can't. I really hate this,why not just make different stages for each version? It doesn't necessarily have to be "oh,it's the console version,so it can only have stages based on console games" .

Oh well,they haven't shown the whole stage yet,so it might not be just a generic token Kid Icarus stage. Not holding my breath,though.

Re: Sakurai Reiterates That There'll Be No Subspace Emissary-Style Story in Super Smash Bros.

HorseRenoir

I liked SSE. It was the best fan service ever. But if they can make cool event matches like Melee (I thought the ones in Brawl were a little bland) totally random classic and all-star modes (seriously,the one in Brawl with the pre-determined order of foes was really boring),Break the Targets for each character and better loading times,I won't complain much. With that said,Sakurai's excuse has got to be the worst ever.

Re: Review: Okami (Wii)

HorseRenoir

Dude,just 14 comments? I absolutely love this game,one of my favorites. I truly feel bad that such a well-made, heartfelt game was a commercial failure.

Re: Weirdness: Shiny Pokémon Finder Takes No-Hands Approach

HorseRenoir

I still haven't tried that chain thing,but last Sunday,I was on the Friend Safari and I found a Shiny Electrode. I almost had a heart attack thinking it would kill itself,but I managed to catch it.

Some time later,same day,I was speed EVing my Greninja,and on a Zubat horde,there was a shiny one. I mean,seriously? Two shines on the same day,without using those chain thingies. It's probably compesating for those two Shiny Abras that I found on Emerald and Soulsilver. Both fled.

Re: Soapbox: The Wii U Virtual Console Needs to Freshen Up

HorseRenoir

I hate that Nintendo is very slowly re-releasing games that already were on the Wii VC. I don't know if they could just dump all those already released games at once,probably not,but they sure could at least release them a lot faster. I mean,we still don't have freaking N64 games. That's just stupid.

Re: Shigeru Miyamoto Clarifies That Local Multiplayer is Still the Priority for Mario

HorseRenoir

I think it's perfectly fine for Miyamoto to develop a multiplayer more designed to local play than online play. But, why not put online there anyway? I don't know how it is on Japan,but here we can't just invite our friends over anytime,people have lives,they're often busy. And what about internet friends?

I love Nintendo,but they really do have to catch up on a lot of things.

Re: Eiji Aonuma Wants it to be "Fun To Get Stuck" in A Link Between Worlds

HorseRenoir

Oh Nintendo,please do this with every franchise. I really liked Skyward Sword and Dream Team,but the hand holding was unbearable.

There was a part that Starlow asked if I wanted to learn how to use mushrooms,I said no,and she asked "are you sure? mushrooms are difficult to use" or something. And on SS,on the Sandship,when you find the door that's obviously the boss door,Fi is like "Master,I'm 98% positive that there is something important behind this door." I mean,seriously?

Re: Review: Pokémon X & Y (3DS)

HorseRenoir

God,this is going to be a long week. And I'll still have to wait for the game to be shipped and about five days to actually receiving it.

Also,how many new Pokémon are there?

Re: CoroCoro Magazine Reveals Pokémon X & Y Starter Evolutions, Mega Mewtwo X and New 'Mon

HorseRenoir

Ugh,hated how Chespin's evolution looks. And I know it's not going to be,but the fact that Fennekin's evolution is standing up makes me fear that we're going to have another Fire/Fight starter I liked Froakie's evolution quite a bit. Still,these are only second evolutions,so I'm hoping Chespin will have a cool final evolution (and maybe Fennekin's and Froakie's will be terrible,who knows?)

Re: Peter Molyneux Reveals His Favourite Zelda Title Of All Time

HorseRenoir

I love Twilight Princess. Playing the other games,I think it's kind of lacking in memorable characters (aside from Midna,of course,I think she's one of best characters in the whole series) and it's very,very difficult to actually die.

But still,I love the dungeons,the items,the ridiculously epic feel of the whole thing,and the story,even if it's not the most original ever,gets really serious and involving in some unexpected ways (just thinking about the Midna's Lament part makes me feel a little misty-eyed)

Wow. Just by typing that I felt like playing the game. Wind Waker is my overall favorite,though.

Re: AlphaDream Currently Has No Plans For The Mario & Luigi Series On Wii U

HorseRenoir

I would go on another rant about Paper Mario Sticker Star and that they should have done it for the Wii U instead of the 3DS,but,yeah,what good would that do? The damage is done.

ahem So,something that I always was a bit curious: why doesn't Nintendo give AlphaDream some projects that aren't Mario & Luigi? Don't get me wrong,I adore the series,but they are clearly very talented,it would be cool to see they doing something different
