I usually get ~10€ worth of Amiibo cards per series, but that's all A nice splunge every once in a while On the other hand, I have all Amiibo figurines that are available in Europe, just like @G0dlike
I don't see sense in changing the class — indian costume is just that, an indian costume, are we going to get a dogmancer because cats get offended? No consequence of the radical indian-to-cowboy change actually shows how bland and generic can this job be — it doesn't even have enough character to be required for the game as it is
Makes no sense for me if the player one has to use the wii u controller anyway... I'd rather use one of the pro controllers that I have anyway for Mario Kart
This part is a disqualification for me, as a software engineer: "engine we are using is no longer being updated which means adjustments for matchmaking and online code are being made manually (actually reprogramming parts of the engine by the dev team themselves)" — this would suggest they apparently don't know what they're doing
@Grumblevolcano my friend from Japan told me that Yo-kai are very popular in Japan, maybe even getting more popular than Pokemon for younger audience, so yeah I think they will go to monetize it here too
Amiibos are worthless in a long-run anyway So the only semi-sensible reason to keep them boxed is to "preserve colors and pristine look", but then you would need to keep them in a dark place anyway
That's a completely mechanical way to "beat the game", not play it He will have to memorize all the steps to finish the level, it would be much better to just watch the walk-through for the story... Reminds me of these "look at AI beating Mario levels" videos
Honestly, Lin being "clothed more" in western release is a non-issue. Unless you're a pervy pedo, then it might a problem... for you )) With the limited amount of character customisation (I'm playing as male), you really can't identify with your character, so the boob-slider missing in the western release is also a detail that doesn't change anything.
Hey Nintendo Life, could you maybe NOT block the "watch later" button in the embeds? That would make my life so much easier reading your articles on my phone
That's good, because I never understood why at some point in the game it started asking me about some squad, without properly explaining what this is about.
Hmmm, finally a step into a good direction, but honestly I can't see a reason for paying 39.99€ for a digital game when I can get physical retail box for less (29.99€ - 35€) from Amazon
I wonder how many of you actually played Amiibo Festival Because the game is pretty delightful, albeit slow-paced, but definitely relaxing and generally happy. It's for the family gaming sessions with folks that don't grasp Mario Party's mini games. Yeah, from the perspective of a übergamer this game must be stupid and silly, but it's a fine piece of entertainment Also, the hidden gem is the island escape, it could be it's own game for 3DS for example, it's pretty good!
Hmm, that's a surprising score I must check the demo — actually after the delight of being surprised by Cooking Mama and some other silly games, I could give it a shot
Same in Germany, buying Amiibo is not a problem anymore, there's plenty even weeks after a premiere ^_^ I'm going to get the newcomers, they all look awesome
I got all of figure Amiibos that are officially available in Europe (so basically anything except for Silver and Gold Super Mario) and they are adorable I can't wait for Animal Crossing Amiibos, I think I will make a little diorama for them on my shelf I smile every time I see them, there's something nice about having these little fellas from different games, reminding me of the great time I spent playing the game
TriForce Heroes? More like TriFarce Heroes )) But seriously the doge meme is pretty darn cute I didn't play the game, I don't want multiplayer-heavy game on my handheld, playing offline most of the time (no Internet on the train), but it looks pretty funny
I will always choose physical over digital — with CD/cartridge I own the game and I can decide when and how I want to play it. With digital I just rent the game, which sucks.
I have both PSP and Vita, and honestly... while PSP was somehow pushing the envelope with creative games, Vita is just... meh. If I wanted a "cinematic console experience" I would basically turn my PS3/PS4 on and not suffer pixelated crapalooza on the tiny screen. Somehow Nintendo knows how to make portable games, with proper timing for short, intense sessions. 3DS literally killed my Vita, it's in the drawer since the day I got my first Nintendo handheld last year...
I will get the game, the covers are nice for my new 3ds too But I'm not going to obsess about these plastic stuff of Amiibo, figures look nice and stuff, but cards? Nope.
@Shiryu technically the whole scoring was broken, since eat-vs-eat shouldn't add to the score at all, and I think it was added completely pushing it off-balance
European Splatterfest was a mess... I was team eating, which had 66% of the whole contest population (WTF?!) and most of my matches were eating-vs-eating, so logically pointless, since "eating wins 1 match and loses 1 match". It was still a great deal of fun, but pitifully they locked only 3 stages from which I totally nailed it in Kelp Dome, did pretty well in Saltspray Rig and did really badly in Bluefin depot, which i personally hate
"If you have played this map three times and someone else had never played it, you're going to know exactly what to do and just say, "Hey dude, pick up that thing, get on my back, shoot that thing come over here…" and the novice would just say, "Okay. Sure. Okay," and it's not fun for either player. One player is just issuing orders, and the other is just following orders."
