@keresmatic That took me forever to figure out too, and no, there doesn't appear to be a way to add non local friends, or non Facebook or twitter friends either.
@Moon I will trade you for dex registration. However, if we trade, I want some collateral. Basically, we don't trade an Articuno for a Pidgey. I would like to trade something of value, and I promise you'll get it back.
@DoctorOverbuild Honestly, it is hard to say. Yes, the Wii U gets most of the new content that the 3DS will get, but I find it hard to rule out that the NX may get a port with all content for just 60-70 dollars.
@Damo I was just used to hearing near universal praise for Hyrule Warriors that I needed the reminder that no game is perfect, and that not everyone likes the same things.
It is really a niche audience, the Warriors games. Thanks for the reminder that I may get bored while playing this.
Considering how I have not played the Wii U version, I am excited for this!
@crimsontadpoles Alex from NintendoLife posted a video comparing Wii U to 3DS today for all us lovely people. Check out the NL YouTube to find it. On mobile and can't easily link you to it right now, apologies
@Damo I was a bit surprised, yet pleased while reading this review.
I was surprised that you didn't like the original Hyrule Warriors, and that you would be writing this review, considering you didn't like the original.( This is the impression I received from the first paragraph)
However, it makes sense. Why give a game to someone who is a noticible fan of the series? While they may know more, at the same time, they have a certain bias that someone who isn't wouldn't have.
Your review was a refreshing read of expect from Hyrule Warriors Legends. Excellent read, good job.
@TeoXique At the moment, you can only register downloaded games. If you used Club Nintendo with your Wii/DS/Wii U/3DS connected in the settings, then you should know what I am talking about. You download the game, and either fill out a survey or just get points/coins
@Windy Sorry for replying so late, educational studies kept me busy. I don't know if I still have any skill in ATV as when I played with you guys I was constantly on the tracks practicing and trying to get first in everything or break my best time.
Anyway if you can schedule a 4 man race, make sure to @ Notify me and I'll try my best to make it.
@NintendoFan64 I can verify that there are many Sonic fans who liked that game. As for why, I can't definitively tell you. Some like the story, others think the gameplay is fun. They like the game for the same reasons that we like other games.
As for me, I think it is one of the worst Sonic games released but I think it had potential. I would love to playthrough the game if it were released on PC because Modders would fix all if not the majority of issues in the game. Would it be considered good? I don't know, I didn't find the Adventure games amazing, but I would like to play it regardless. That story though can burn up in a volcano. Its no use trying to save it.
There will be a 25th Anniversary game. The only game that was not even considered an anniversary game was Sonic 3D Blast, which released on the 5th anniversary year of Sonic. 10th, Sonic Adventure 2. 15, Sonic 06, 20th, Sonic Generations. The head of Sonic Team said that they hadn't had a 20th anniversary game in mind for 2011, only the Olympic games. However, he realized they needed one and started Generations. They are not missing the 25th anniversary. Sonic Team has not released a home console game since 2013 with Lost World. It does not take a full dev team to make and maintain Sonic Runners, which Sonic Team made and released in 2014 if I recall correctly. They have been working on a new game for a while now I presume, and I can only hope that the extra time Sonic Team as asked for in the past to polish their games will pay off.
Well, at mention of live action and animation, I have to hope for something along the lines of Sonic Adventure 1, 2 or Sonic X instead of Sonic 06. Who knows, perhaps the only live action will be Dr. Ivo "Eggman" Robotnik?
@JedRock 95% sure that game is cancelled and not going to be seeing the light of day anytime soon. Should have remained 3DS exclusive instead of trying to go multiplat, and then they dropped the 3DS altogether during that failed kickstarter.
They tried riding the hype train of Mighty No. 9, and it failed. Wayforward tried the same, and barely succeeded in their kickstarter.
Edit: Just reread news stories about it. Even though they say it is being worked on, I still don't see it being released anytime in this console generation.
Renegade Kid needs to set a release schedule and either stick to it, or announce when they won't meet their deadlines. Where is Treasurenauts? Mutant Mudds Super Challenge? Mutant Mudds 2?
@MitchVogel Classic Sonic refers to all games before Sonic Adventure, so the Genesis/Megadrive, Master System, Saturn and Arcade. Modern refers to all Sonic games starting on the Dreamcast to now, sans the Boom games. However, if you were to break the games up further, a Dreamcast Era would be Sonic Adventure to Shadow, and Modern being from Sonic the Hedgehog 2006 to now. Boom is a timeline in and of itself.
@shinokami Oh please yes. I always wanted Knuckles to be playable in that.
Important to note that Sonic considers Big the Cat dead like Nack/Fang the Weasel, Mighty the Armadillo and Ray the Squirrel. Voice Actor for Big was told he was no longer needed and he hasn't been replaced since. Last he was seen was Colors DS and was supposed to appear in Generations but was cut.
@ThomasBW84 Sonic Team hasn't been entirely quiet since the release of Lost World. They developed Sonic Runners for Smart Devices. Previous games like Sonic Dash were made by Hardlight.
I've personally been hoping that Sonic Team has been working on a 25th Anniversary Title for the last two years.
I had the pleasure of reviewing this 30 dollar game at launch, and I can definitely say that if its cheaper than the equivalent of 30 pounds or euros, say around 15 or 20, it is worth the price. However, just like NL's review comment for 9/10 games, "if you only like racing games and this is an rpg", if you don't like retro side scrolling SHMUP`s then this probably isn't for you.
