Re: Buddy & Me: Dream Edition

MamaLuigi

I could tell many folks at Retro like Behr were secretly anime fans... Buddy & Me is a whimsical tale reminiscent of Studio Ghibli films, and Armature helped make both Bloodstained and ReCore even though the main heroines of both have a wild anime girl vibe going on with their wardrobe.

Re: Nintendo Confirms a Second Day of E3 2016 Treehouse Streaming

MamaLuigi

People are still sore over Nintendo's e3 2015. Hell, some are still sore over e3 2003 after so long, because connectivity screwed them over. I'd say if you absolutely WANT a new Metroid or for NX to be a powerhouse system that will kick the crap out of Sony/M$/Apple, best you either wait or get a life.

Re: Movie Review: Pixels Proves Once Again That Video Games And Film Do Not Make Good Bedfellows

MamaLuigi

Unlike the game industry Hollywood doesn't give two bones about the effort or quality they put into their films... just find a license, hire at least two pruduction companies with tons of cash at the ready, who then hire graphics and effects artists, a third rate hotshot director, and someone famous enough, and leave the scripting for last since they don't need it to look their worst on screen... voila, another movie set for release.

It's a bar set so low even Honey Boo Boo could direct a film at this rate.

Re: Donkey Kong Nearly Missed Out On Pixels Stardom

MamaLuigi

Donkey Kong has already been a staple in Adam Sandler's film legacy, (no?) thanks to Billy Madison (excerpt: http://youtu.be/P9EhvDAMjWc ) so I'm not surprised. But as opposed to Pixels he kinda has a point: there are plenty good classic games out there but only the arcade types like Donkey Kong and Pac Man have the balls to make you play the same stages over and over again on progressively higher difficulty in order to achieve that ridiculous high score.... XDD

Re: Industry Analysts Speculate On Nintendo's Future And Satoru Iwata's Possible Successor

MamaLuigi

Let them talk. Iwata very likely picked a possible successor behind closed doors long before his death, and one he counted on. So-called "market changes" like the mobile and Stream sector are mostly fad-related, and will wear thin just like consoles, only quicker. Nintendo's NX might be last for gaming consoles, but it'll be a first for other things, specifically small devices like Apple TV.

And no, Wii U isn't a "bust", Mr Patcher, it had struggles, thanks to a changing market. Get it through your passive-aggressive stance on the market in general, already.

Re: Poll: What Do You Want From Nintendo's NX Platform?

MamaLuigi

Since polls and comments do not correlate well with one another, I'll just say this: Release a portable with a receiver box for TV/monitor use (and possibly a disc drive attachment, a la Mac Mini, for retail titles), also give the controller/system equal parts Wii Remote and Gampad functions with some added surprises, and it'll be a hit, guaranteed.
