@mateq I havent played DS1, so I can't speak for it, but DS2 is an amazing game that you should def pick up sometimes. Its pretty easy by SMT standards (although SMT IV was pathetic by SMT standards mostly because of the "save-anywhere" feature). So much fun
@Quorthon They're definitely not in it to make money. I think they are doing it mainly out of love for the game itself. Plus, I'm sure much less work goes into these projects than a full-fledged game, yet it has the same quality. Btw the flappy bird clone situation is completely different from this; flappy bird cloners spend a pathetic amount of time in order to get much more money. The motives and methodology are completely different.
@NextChannelGame You can buy download games on the eshop to get those last coins. I bought darksiders 2 on the eshop recently while it was sale for 8 bucks and I still got 60 coins You might also want to ask any family members/friends if they still have a wii, cuz i think those can still be registered for coins
@jeb_leeds get the original; the new one isnt really worth it. Its an okay game, but does not feel at all like a "paper mario" game in any way besides graphics (at least Super Paper Mario kept the characters intact). Get W101 or DKCR instead.
Enjoyed the multiplayer for Badland but the screen was always too small I might pick this up on Wii U Also its really cool to see the devs over here, and devs with some reputation!
@EarthboundBenjy Not quite, as most omega stages are slightly different: some of them have walls at the bottom that can be wall-clinged, some are wider than others, and I think the stageboxes are different on each stage as well.
As a side note, I suspect competitive players might pull playing smash with 3 other jiggs that suicide to start the round on pyrosphere without ridley
Is Ninty really going to make a significant amount of money on this? As awesome as they are, they might have the worst advertising department I've seen from a big company (starting with the name of the WIi U itself). I think that they should just support the LPers by giving them a chance to be featured on their main channel; that would get more sales.
I never understood why people bother to throw the potato (or cape the falcon) until the last moment. This still looks like fun for the novelty factor though
Im calling amiibo support in ACNL! Dont think theyre going to release a AC on WiiU. Im not even sure if there are any reasons for it to be on the wiiU, the graphics are pretty awesome on the 3ds already
They put the word "conference" to shame here. Also Pitterpot looks like the only one with a shred of potential.
@Quorthon I agree, this is ridiculous. I wouldn't say the wii u is short in the games department (or at the least, the XBONE and ps4 are much, much worse).
Not sure why everyone is so salty this week, first amiibo, then smash, now this. Its their money, if they think they'll gain satisfaction from buying a collector's item for 35,000, let them.
@BLPs This is a Japanese tournament, so we should be expecting people to win and hopefully be good at the game. That Ike barely grabbed, used tons of dash attack approaches, ledge attacked too much, didnt tech, failed to fast fall, etc. I'm not saying I'm much better at smash than him, but this was definitely no pro.
@RickyWill I think I'll end up getting this game as well, Touhou is great
But man, didn't know there were so many melee haters on NL. The change in range and the length of the hitboxes alone would make it feel different from melee imo. I doubt this will be released as a 60 dollar game, so I wouldn't expect as much content either. If they clean up the models a LOT and the animations, I could see this getting its own niche fighting meta.
Am I the only one here that thinks this game looks kinda fun? Besides the HYAAA HYAA HYAA HYAA that permeates it XP It seems to have more mechanics than the traditional runner and has decent graphics.
That said, this is a pathetic excuse for the first Megaman game in years (I won't count Xover or any fan games). Screw you Capcom.
From what I understand, Nintendo has been doing such a bad job/the tariffs were so high that there won't be much changing. Maybe Ninty should just invest in selling those figurines and other stuff that won't be taxed as heavily.
@Tsurii897 @Yosher I don't think you guys understand how important Project m is to the competitive community. It rebalances characters so that you don't just see spacies, marth, and sheik spammed like melee. Even the new game has a severly powerful diddy, and brawl was a mess with meta knight. While I really enjoy the new smash, Project M is undoubtly better suited for competitive play and its removal is rather disappointing.
@JasonAnArgoNOT64 That's because the Gold and Silver metagame isn't that much better (or worse) than following games (in terms of the meta game). Brawl had tripping and meta knight, and both brawl and sm4sh have decreased movement options and combos. Plus Melee is more faster and more fun to watch (imo). I love the new smash, but its not as suited for competitive imo.
@Danny429 That would be beautiful If only i could get my hands on a Falcon Amiibo :/
@TruenoGT According to a previous interview, you use energy for life, boosting, and weapons, so you have to keep track of the energy. Hopefully that would keep it from being a boring experience
At least it looks better than Percy's. The interior area reminds me of the spaceships in metroid. I'm not a fan of these games, but I doesn't look terrible.
Meta Knight had that dumb infinite wall glide thing, so I can't see how this, requiring two people, is worse. It just looks like a fun way to troll your friends once and then never use again because your friends will hate you if you spam it. I doubt online will be affected TOO much, although Ninty will probs patch it anyways
@Samuel-Flutter The old capcom jingle by itself made the video worth
The rest was just hilarious in how ridiculous the crossovers have become. Who knew we could get mega man and mario in the same game twice in the span of 6 months!
@Einherjar idk, Little Mac is still pretty bad imo; just because someone was able to use him well doesn't mean he is good. I'm pretty bad at smash, but his recovery is so bad that you can easily KO him with any character at under 40% I would say he's like Ike, easier to pick up and master but with fewer options than most other characters (trashy air game). The sheer amount of options available to rosaluma and the dog are why they will most likely be top tier.
Not sure why people are hating on HBox when he literally said one negative about the game. Its understandable that he would dislike it, as he is a jiggs main with much better recovery than other characters.
That bowser plane looks beast! Can't say the same about the others though They seem to have missed a chance to throw in some more star fox refereces though.
Yay H-box His thoughts are similar to mine, except I might throw bowser in top tier. Plus, I'm maining Jiggs now too (nurse joy hat only though). I'm pretty bad right now though.
Not sure why people dislike the $50 price tag so much, considering how much content there is in the typical SMT game. If this one really does double DS2, thats a helluvalot of playtime! Personally though, I'm going to wait for this to come down in price a lot while i finish my backlog
Reminds me of one of the demos Miyamoto showed at e3; looks awesome! I was hoping that it would use the gamepad (One screen on the gamepad, one on the tv) but oh well
While I'm sure ninty would find a way to make good games on the smartphone, I am sure they would goof on something with a proprietary phone. I'm not too sure how making a phone would be that much different from adding phone calling capabilities and 3g to the 3ds. Scratch that, a lot of people I know don't even use their phones to call people any more!
I'm sure if they actually bothered to take the time to develop this like a good game, it could become something special, but my god those textures look nasty
So from what my (not-so) trained eye surmises, it seems that the wii u graphics are very slightly better than the xbox's (mostly in models i think) but worse than the ps4 port by a little (again, higher res models and slightly better lighting). If I had to picka version, id go with wii u because the ps4 lighting is really bright comparatively, but honestly I would rather spend my time playing better games.
"...some Super Mario Galaxy race locations, racing around planetary spheres sounds good to me!" Comma splice Try a semicolon next time Also I would love these stages! Metroid Stage ftw
