@consolfreak1982 Beat me to it. Apparently the scene were they turn the gravity back on causing a frozen body to drop and shatter had to be done twice because a disgruntled effects guy hid a Barbie doll in the first one and it popped out at the camera. That fact has always stuck with me for some reason.
@AG_Awesome Its possible that a proper story mode will be added later via DLC like Splatoon 2's Octo Expansion. Honestly I'd be fairly the single player is like the 3DS version with maybe an Adventure mode like Melee
@Boidoh Disgraceful, as a toaster identifying individual I find this very triggering!
For real though I don't actually mind if they add the Other option to things like this for peoples needs (both real and imagined) but non-binary seems oddly specific.
@Richard_Atkinson Good welcomes and great review. Like overs have said bit of a shame it was about what is apparently a touchy subject but great to see you focused on the important part.
I once had Jontron and Cinema Snob make a run for the border. They were joined by President Trump and three dogs in a trench coat pretending to be a man and even acquired a hotdogmobile. I only remember Trump and Jontron making it (Snob was apparently allergic to everything in Canada anyway). This game is pretty solid. Great for absurd scenarios and couch co-op but like you said starts to get repetitive between there being only one enemy type and only one end game. I'm hoping one day they add special zombies and bosses but I can still recommend this one. Just don't let the Magical Girl anime all over the car.
At this point if it doesn't come this year I'm just going to cancel my pre-order. I'll probably do that if it doesn't launch before Smash Bros, because between that and whatever other E3 goodies come out this year I just might not have the time
It's going to need it's own gimmick to be worth it. I don't really want a game that's just derivative, it need something to make it stand out as unique
@FTL No I just assumed that they would show off a full reveal trailer for the new Smash and a handful of new characters/modes then put a demo version out to tournament entrants. I guess I got mixed up with Smash 4 (something of a problem with not having a sub title)
I was hoping for this, but I won't back until a port is definitely confirmed. I just can't put money on a might come to a platform I'll actually play it on.
@Sikboy1029 That's right Eddie the mean old yeti. And hey no shame in liking the cartoon. It's like the old Mario cartoon, objectively it's not that great but it is at least entertaining.
Nope sorry, got to go give this game a poor review now. I refuse to allow Nintendo to even begin to think that loot boxes will be excepted. This was supposed to be the advantage of them being a bit backwards
And only available in Australia via Nintendo's official eBay page... It's like they just decided to cut out the middle man and scalp them themselves. Now I'm seriously considering dropping my pre-order and skipping this altogether .
@MailOrderNinja Personally I don't see why this COULDN'T be for us as much as for the kids. Disney, Pixar, Dreamworks and quite a few other studios can make animated films that appeal to everyone they just need to have a decent plot, humor that isn't LOL SO RANDOM, a little fan service here and there and good voice actors. Also a plot that ISN'T 90 minutes of save the Princess
Well this could work... With Miyamoto co-producing he can crack the whip and probably either get and actually great (or at least decent) film out or the studio will crumble under the pressure. Despicable Me was actually pretty great, the second one was alright and all their other films I've seen are mediocre more then anything. Illumination is a lazy studio but can make good things they just need to not add any crappy Minion humor to it and make sure the characters are consistent with their games portrayals.
I didn't actually know that the amiibo didn't unlock Shovel Knight until I tried. Disappointing, but hey, we live in an era when Cloud Strife made it into a Mario game, so it's only a matter of time
I've really enjoyed the gameplay, but one problem I've noticed is that my little sister was having trouble holding it up after a few rounds of Nintendo Land. Still I consider it's size a good thing personally, the bulk feels good to hold.
@Nintendian Oh yes, that sounds GREAT. For you. I definitely would like Miitomo on a system I don't have and never will. Nintendo should TOTALLY cut the potential user base in half because you think so.
Crazy Fan Theory Time! #1 The controller has no buttons because it can form them through the screen , creating the perfect layout for each game. #2 That's not the controller, that's the consol! The sticks/screen are to support quick startup/menu/multi-player/gameplay and stuff like the CD drive are separate units that work off the cluster system also patented by Nintendo. #4 This is a decoy Nintendo are deliberately leaking to keep people from spoiling the surprise of what the NX . With all those leaks lately they have to be doing SOMETHING to slow them down. #5 This is not Nintendo at all but coincidencly resembles their patent. Alternatively Nintendo simply produced a prototype for the patent or as an experiment. Or even this is a very early prototype.
Whatever happens if this is the actual controller I reserve judgement until I actually HOLD the thing. THAT will be the real test. Also those "ball nubs" remind me of the Sega Saturn's 3D controller which was quite satisfying to use.
@OneArmedGiant Well, strictly speaking, it did come to Steam for us. Of course we still shouldn't have to jump platforms for a game in a series that everyone else got on the same platform.
