pffft silly people. by making everyone the same it allows a "blank canvas" feel where they can impose personalities without using racial cues. I know it's white, but if they used yellow like the simpsons it would look weird. AND I think the mushroom kingdom is european... italian... places where i imagine 99% white ratio
um... duh? the gamepad is fantastic. choose to use it, or not. play on the tv, or not (if someone's hogging it), or use both to interact with each other. plus it's got not only an accelerometer and gyroscope, but also a magnetic thing that improves 1-1 motion and allows for some innovative gameplay
good thing i finished using all those a few years ago, got a full dex in soulsilver trading growlithe's and vulpixes using the wii to tell me when the trade went through, good times
I dont get why people are judging this based on the snes inspired graphics (which is a good thing people, come on), it's coming from Nicalis, it's good
to the people saying enough of these already, this is the only one that really matters, since it'll have the 15x20 puzzles i really enjoyed from the original picrossds. hopefully they use the same puzzle navigation and zoom, but use the you-must-hold-up-to-paint control from picross3d (optional in picrossds)
chatting became impossible since they stopped sending you notifications for a "thread" you posted in (it stopped the super notification flood if you accidentally commented on a news post or something similar, but it ruined two people communicating in a third person's post). this is just stopping people from going over the 200 character limit by posting multiple 200 character packed sagas
you know, even though i have no interest in this game I'm going to get it anyway, it's getting enough hype that i'm certain it'll be more fun than I expect (of which I am expecting something akin to a fishtank)
@siconlol you're making it sound like they're trying to replace brawl. there's nothing wrong with people making mods so people can play with new and different features. everyone literally mods every single game, i've made my own super mario world levels. that doesn't mean I hate super mario world's original levels, it means I want to explore the game more, see what I can make, and just have fun creating things, I'm definitely in no way trying to replace super mario world @siavm cheaters ruin online play when they play online with people who do not have those same cheats available to them. modding a game and playing it offline with friends is fine
also one more point, the argument that people shouldn't mess with content the developers made means you are against any concept of a level editor, which insults me a bit. People get mad when a "sequel" is just more levels, so how else are people supposed to get more gameplay out of the games they love without making more levels?
@siavm i also find your post sickening. these guys worked hard to bring the precision and gameplay from melee into brawl. as much as i love brawl, it's just not as tight, fast, or balanced as melee. and saying they should just play melee is like saying "hey i know nintendo let you down by messing up a lot of core mechanics and ruining serious tournament play, but i'm having fun with the game so screw you and go cry about it" there's nothing wrong with customizing something to make it more enjoyable for yourself. if you disagree with that then i doubt you are human
@DestinyMan you could hold L or R while selecting samus to start as zero suit, also, you can mash alternate up and down taunt while playing as samus to change to zero as well, you just can't put the suit back on like that. I play as zero suit samus alone all the time, but it's nice that it wont be a hidden feature now
as a side note, was anyone NOT going to get both? they have different stuff, and both have their perks (portable for one, couch multiplayer HD on the other)
@iphys I mean it's gonna get to the point where there's a faq on how to get the lowest prices for everything, and everyone who doesn't follow that guide will pay more money. feels kinda wrong
it is odd that gameboy advance games are on the wii u vc and not the 3ds, however, there was the gameboy player (which i own) and thus have already played many of my gba games on my tv and its fantastic
@Sandro89 if it was on wii u people would complain the game is too simple and that the display being on the tv is useless because people would only be looking at the gamepad since that's where the touch screen is
1 3 and 4 should've been there from the beginning honestly, especially the after posting spoilers thing. you have no idea how many times i forgot to put spoiler and had to delete my post and redo it all
i just got to play today. the game is fantastic. bright colorful artstyle and smooth gameplay. it takes a bit to get used to the new acceleration on yoshis movement as well as the delay before throwing an egg, but the game is still really fun. is it as good as yoshi's island? no. but it's a good platformer on its on
these things are more accepted in japan. game was made in japan, then localized and released elsewhere. of course other cultures are going to respond differently
if comparing this to dr. luigi caused it's rating to go down, you're reviewing incorrectly. You don't rate games based on "well this is obviously less full of features and graphics than something that came out 24 years later," you rate them on their own merit, gameplay, replayability, and difficulty. the only reason this should get a lower score is because the lesser high score system stunts replayability
yoshi's story is one of my favorite n64 games. multiple paths through story mode, WAY challenging to find 3 hearts in each level to unlock the 4th level of each word, AND the even harder challenge of getting all 30 melons in a level. whoever thinks it is not challenging has not played all of it, or just played the 1st level of each world.
@bezerker99 just got the game myself, that's the only thing you hear. there's no sound effects and that music track is obnoxious. at least the game is good
sooo, I get a discount because I had it on my wii and transfered, I get money back because of the ddp promotion, AND I get a discount off the game, which will get me MORE money back? Nintendo I love you
