Re: Unsheath Sakura Samurai: Art of the Sword on 2nd February

If the combat has more depth than what I'm seeing, I'll look into it. IGN gave a very positive hands-on preview of it (surprising to me considering the bashing they gave Dillon's Rolling Western, my personal pick of the known upcoming titles), but I'll probably wait on the reviews.

Re: Icon Games: "Nintendo's Policies Put Jobs at Risk"

Mattiator

@RichIconNew I can't say I've played a single one of your titles, but I feel that every single developer for the WiiWare service has a perfect right to complain publicly about whatever conditions have been imposed on them by their contracts. While breaching said contract isn't acceptable, letting other developers and non-developers know about what you (and I'm sure others) feel are draconic policies is perfectly fine. All power to you.

Re: Review: Nintendo Letter Box (3DSWare)

Swapnote's quite fun so far, I've whittled away an hour drawing stuff based on eShop games, but it still needs a keyboard for us lousy printers, and the ability to attack multiple sounds, one per page? Or, even easier, just let us use all of our recordings (in other words bump the limit to 10 seconds long).

A few kinks to iron out, but I'm happy with it so far.

Re: Game of the Year: Nintendo Life Reader Awards 2011

Mattiator

Very little of what I voted for won. Not too surprising, considering I voted Radiant Historia for DS game of the year (Yes, it was better than Ghost Trick and Solatorobo, at least in my opinion.) and Step Up! for WiiWare, since I don't own any Wiiware titles. Though I will need to check out FAST.

Re: Review: Sonic Adventure 2: Battle (GameCube)

Mattiator

I loved this game SO freaking much as a kid. And yeah, I much preferred Eggman/Tails stages to Knuckes/Rouge stages. Yeah, the machine gun was worthless except for breaking boxes, but it sure felt awesome ripping through a level watching everything, EVERYTHING blowing up in front of you as you hammered on the B button. Yes the camera had issues and the story tended to jump around, but I'd give it a 7 at worst, 8 at best.

Re: Review: The Sims 3 (3DS)

"If your house is being robbed you can choose to fight the burglar or call the police, although if your Sim fights the robber and loses he will become upset."

I'll have to keep that in mind when a burglar tries to rob my apartment that the only thing that will happen if I lose a fight to him is unhappiness, as opposed to, y'know, dying.

Re: Review: Centipede: Infestation (3DS)

Mattiator

Well, that sounds better than I was expecting from Atari. Might get it once I find a used copy or two, perhaps when I help out that GameStop with getting rid of the 12 used copies of Nostalgia they've been trying to get rid of for ages now.
