BOO! I wanted an actual Direct, not a Game-specific Direct! >:C I feel like we already know too much about Hyrule Warriors...where's my Bayonetta Direct?
Well, I can't wait for Mysterious Murasame Castle 2. I mean, come on: Japanese garden tech demo? Takamaru's Ninja Castle? Worldwide released of TMMC on the 3DS VC? Hopefully it's not a 3DS game...
@mr_nihilism No, "he" isn't. The female Thor is a new character altogether, the old Thor simply isn't worthy of carrying the hammer anymore (like 99.99999% of the Marvel Universe). Considering Thor: GoT's writer is absolutely fantastic, no one should be worried.
Basically all comments in this review are pretty much this: "Wow I already played it on other platformers but it's available now on Wii U so other people will be able to enjoy it yay!"
@Tsurii897 "because of that bullpoopiepoodlepoop, that you need to buy new parts for it every few years, if you want to play (most) newly released games"
Yeah, it's pretty obvious you don't know much about PC gaming.
@Tsurii897 To be fair, Tetris is pretty terrible. They should've given them... ... ...ok, the original GB's catalog as a whole is pretty bad by today's standards...
@midnafanboy You know what would've been a much better? A cool cinematic of Star Fox doing something cool. Pre-rendered. Miyamoto could even make sure the cinematic looked as close as the (in-game) final product, so why didn't they do that? Instead we get a blurry screen.
@outburst Well, Assault had 3rd person gameplay that fit the series (shooting), unlike Adventure (...Zelda clone). And yeah, they can actually improve upon that.
@midnafanboy When they..."first" showed up? They never showed it. It was pretty damn obvious it was Star Fox. Showing just a blurry screen was a terrible mistake, horribly anticlimatic.
@ModestFan93 Wow, uh, excuse me for not sucking Miyamoto's nuts, then.
@outburst Don't. Please don't hope that. The entire internet would freak out. It's not going that route, anyway. Miyamoto didn't make Adventures, it was Rare, and it wasn't received the best.
Stupid UK! Should learn more about good games with their FIFA and whatnot...
Just kidding, this is not really surprising. Kids stick with any bad games their parents give them, and since tablet/smartphone games are cheaper, they stick with those. THANKFULLY there still are some parents smart enough to give their children actual gaming devices. And smartphones/tablets are not really affecting 3DS sales in any significant way so...
@rjejr Nintendo had little to do with the development of Bayonetta 2...not to mention Kamiya isn't the kind of person that would let them make such a change just for the sake of being more "family friendly".
@rjejr Nintendo had little to do with the development of Bayonetta 2...not to mention Kamiya isn't the kind of person that would let them make such a change just for the sake of being more "family friendly". You certainly sound like you're spreading the truth, even though...yeah, you're kind of wrong.
The Wonderful 101 should totally be re-released. Just give the game to any other development studio from Nintendo (R&D? Retro? ...Monolith???) and fix all the little issues the original game had. THEN make a sequel, the possibilities are endless!
About Bayonetta 1+2, I've been excited for Bayo2 ever since it was announced so yeah. I really hope it sells well...that's completely up to Nintendo, though. Advertise the damn thing, Reggie.
Wow. Twilight Princess Link looks terrible even in HD! No wonder Miyamoto wants to get as far away from that art style as posssible... Something like Skyrim meets Skyward Sword (hint: colors) would've been a perfect balance, imho. I love how Zelda U looks, but...yet another cel-shaded game after Phantom Hourglass, Spirit Tracks, Skyward Sword and A Link Between Worlds? Do something different, Aonuma!
@ScorpionMG Yeah. I'm sure watching Fullmetal Alchemist or Attack on Titan in japanese makes a lot of sense...
Anyway, the sub vs dub debate is a matter of which language has the better dub. If the english dub is...watchable, I'll watch it. This VERY rarely happens however, since the english voice don't fit the actual characters most of the time...
Latino dubs are great, though. For anime, at least. Most of their voices fit the characters perfectly and some are even better than their japanese counterparts! (Dragon Ball/Z, Sakura Card Captor, Serial Experiments Lain, Yu-Gi-Oh: Duel Monsters [oh god, specially this one], Shaman King...Koni-cha-- [OH MY GOD THIS ONE!!!!!])
Aaaand that's the thing with english dubs. I haven't watched a single english dub that's actually better than the original. I've heard Cowboy Bebop's and FLCL's are better than the japanese ones, but I haven't seen either one of those...
There ARE a lot of great english dubs in western animation, though. Not sure why the anime industry is any different when it shouls be even more professional since most animes aren't aimed at kids/"everyone", they're aimed at teenagers or even adults.
@Jayvir Yup, it hasn't aged well at all. It's still a surprisingly fun game to play if you can ignore the stiff controls for Mario, weird camera controls and sometimes awkward level design. The same can't be said for the Sonic Adventure games.

Re: Ocarina Of Time Began Life As A Remake Of Zelda II: The Adventure Of Link
@Tsurii897 That'd be Phantom Hourglass, Skyward Sword and Twilight Princess.

I'm glad OoT is winning. It's not the best Zelda game AT ALL, but it's certainly better than ALttP...

Re: Don't Fancy Sonic Boom? No Problem, The Sonic 2 HD Fan Remake Is Back On Track
@Sonicfan11589 It won't. It's a fan project of a SEGA IP, so unless SEGA decides to publish it themselves (not likely), it'll be a PC exclusive.

Re: Bayonetta Anime Film Will be Distributed in United States and Canada
@ScorpionMG They're both set in Europe, so watching them in japanese when the english dubs are available is kinda stupid.
