Seeing how I spent 290+ hours on Hyrule Warriors, I’m pretty excited for P5Scramble. I never got around to playing the original P5, so it’s a no brainer to pick up P5R whenever it launches next year.
This news doesn't really bother me the least bit, 'cuz my gaming backlog is ridiculous.
The only WiiU game that I'm picking up for rest of this year is Tokyo Mirage Sessions#FE, other than that it'll be 3DS, PS3/4 titles: Legend of Heroes:Trails of Cold Steel 2, Valkyria Chroncles- Remastered, Grand Kingdom, I Am Setsuna, Fairy Fencer f:Advent Dark Force, Star Ocean 5, Odin Sphere-Leifheiser, Atelier Sophie, Guilty Gear Xrd-Revelator, BlazBlue:Central Fiction, Persona 5, 7th Dragon III Code VFD, King of Fighters XIV, and Final Fantasy XV.
So yeah, I'm good. Hopefully by the time the NX launches in March, I'll make some kind of dent on the games in my 2016 list, maybe even my 2015 backlog.
Having a silent protagonist is the laziest form of storytelling, and is detriment to the story as a whole. You can't truly be invested in a character that has the personality of a bar of soap, with no opinion or input for what's going on around them.
Hmmm, go far enough into the future to pick up a copy of FFXV and maybe a complete edition of the FFVII-remake. Or go back to the past with the winning PowerBall numbers.
I swear, some people never learn. Unless they get Nintendo's explicit permission to do so, no matter how good this little project of their's turns out to be, it's still an illegal use of Nintendo's IP, and it will be be shut down.
And if they do try to finish this after they get the C&D, they'll get sued back to the stone age.
No, it's not because of "competition from the tablet industry", it's the fact that the WiiU is a considerably weaker console than the PS4/XBone.
They were so concerned with besting the PS3's specs that they failed to realize that their main focus should've been matching or surpassing current*PC specs, especially that late in the game.
Anyway, Nintendo never said they were working on a new F-Zero or Metroid sequel, all of it was just baseless assumptions made by a few delusional fanboys. Fanboys who think ONE game makes or breaks a console, not it's library of games, just ONE damn game. A game from a series, that's never sold too well to begin with.
And in their mind, if that one particular game doesn't come out, that console's current & future game catalog magically disappears.
The lesson they never seem to learn is that you NEVER buy a console for just one game. You buy it for it's game library. That's what smart people do.
I mostly liked it. We got two Fire Emblem games coming out for the 3DS. Splatoon has an actual release date AND an Amiibo set. Fatal Frame is actually coming out in the west. WOW Mario Kart 8 -Animal Crossing DLC being released a early And SMT x FE is not vaporware and will be out next year.
The only things that disappointed me were how late in the year Yoshi's Woolly World and Xenoblade X were being released. And no word(or trailer) on StarFox.
Oh well, still another month and a half til E3....
Well no sh@! this was gonna happen. If you use any copyrighted material that's NOT YOURS without the explicit written consent of the original IP owner it will be taken down, simple as that.
What surprises me are the idiots that keep trying to do it.
This is what you do to fix Sonic: 1. Take the gameplay from Sonic Unleash's -Daytime Stages-, 2. And the world hub from Sonic Adventure 1.
That's it.
No "Colors"-esque power ups, no Werehog, no anti-gravity, no laser-tethers, no team-up attacks. Anything other than the two things I mentioned above, burn it, and fire anyone at Sega who thinks otherwise.
I'm all for having a "REAL" preorder system in place, i.e. opening preorders months ahead of release and them actually producing enough to fulfill those preorders.
And Nintendo needs to allow people to order stuff directly from their website, and some preorders need to locked out to people who don't have a registered a current-gen Nintendo console and/or an active NN account.
Doing that should eliminated a lot of the scalpers.
At the moment, Xenoblade Chronicles X is at top of my list, simply because I've seen more of it than Zelda U(i.e. 4 trailers vs 1 off-tv gameplay demo).
@LUIGITORNADO I know right. It's like anytime there's an exposed midriff or a female character with bra size bigger than an B-cup, there's got to be some article complaining about it.
My ideal situation:
Nintendo gets MegaMan, Monster Hunter, Pheonix Wright
Platinum Games gets back Resident Evil, Strider, and Devil May Cry
Suda51/Grasshopper Studios get Viewtiful Joe and Okami
Arc System Works gets Street Fighter
Bandai-Namco gets Breath of Fire and Dragon's Dogma
Battle Mode in the MK series has always been broken, incomplete, and completely unnecessary. It's just Demolition Derby with Koopa Shells and Banana peels, and it's just as boring too.

Re: Introducing Uka, A Weaponised Life Form In Xenoblade Chronicles 2
The character design is fine BY ITSELF, however this game's art direction is all over the place.
It's like every character is designed by a totally different artist, and it throws off the overall flow.

Not really, February-March is Tax Return season in the US, and people tend to spend far more money around that time than Christmas.
Re: Atlus Is In Charge Of Localising Tokyo Mirage Sessions #FE In The West
Well, they already "pre-censored" characters outfits before the JP release, in order to make it "easier" to localize in western countries.
So the damage has already been done.

Well said.
Some people take the whole "Spirit of the Hero" thing a little TOO literally.
Captain America embodies the "Spirit of America", but that doesn't mean he's literally 3.8 million sq.miles of the North American continent.
Re: The Current Final Fantasy Director Would Like A Chance To Work With The Zelda Series

Re: Mario Kart Month: Expanding the Universe of Mario Kart
@Kaze_Memaryu
^^This guy, he gets it.
It's probably the best explanation on why a "Nintendo Kart" game simply would not work thematically.
And those of you that keep bringing up Sonic All-Star Racing, it didn't work there either. Hell, the whole game is based around "Sonic driving a car".
Yeah, the guy who RUNS fast enough to break the sound barrier, driving a car. That concept was broken from the get-go.
Re: Mario Kart Month: Keeping the Mario Kart 8 Race Going With DLC

Re: Review: Mario Kart 8 (Wii U)
Never cared much for Battle Mode.
In my opinion, it always seemed half-baked, boring, and a completely unnecessary.
