As a 22 year old this doesn't apply to me but I'm glad that there is some sort of parental controls for kids. But I wish parents would learn more about the rating system than anything else. 10 year olds don't need to be playing M games.
While I understand all the issues people had with Other M from a story perspective, it always kinda made sense to me. She just committed genocide single handedly and then blew up an entire planet for the second or third time. It makes sense to me that she'd have a touch of PTSD. While I do think they took it a bit far at times especially the Ridly scene. I think Dex the Swede has a fair review of it on his channel.
I have pretty mixed feelings about this. On the one hand is love to see some Nintendo movies, especially if they're done right. On the other, video games aren't movies and usually don't transition well. If they were to make a movie I'd think it'd be best if they used an existing IP, but with a completely original storyline.
I really wish NOA would release just the plain N3DS. I'm STILL running on an original 2011 model and I'd love an upgrade. But I like to carry a bunch of stuff in my pockets so none of the XL models have ever appealed to me. And I don't want to have to buy it in a bundle either. I want a black one, not a white one and I don't want to have to pay for a game I'll probably never play just to upgrade. Just release it already. It really can't hurt your cause at this point.
I played this game to death on the original DS and then on my DS Lite. What is really like to see is either this game with the original control scheme or an HD remake of the original SM64. Let's be real, the original doesn't hold up very well in terms of aesthetics.
I was debating on buying this game last year. I probably will get the downloadable version even though it's a little more because I feel like I'd like this better in that format. I hope the original Wiimote control scheme is still supported though.
@whitespy12 Oh ok. Yes it doesn't go into sleep mode when you close the system, but the original sleep mode within the game that was present on the original GBA cartridge (which I do have) is still perfectly functional.
@Serebii I have played my Ambassador copy of Yoshi's Island within the past couple of weeks and I never noticed any kind of glitch or sound error on any of the levels. I'll pay more attention next time I play but I haven't noticed any of there are...
It's pretty good! I'd certainly recommend this one over Moon Chronicles. The gameplay is exactly the same in both games but it feels less repetitive in this one. Also they diddnt try to wedge a story in this one so I feel it works better. The story they put in MC just kinda fell flat for me and the "huge twist" was pretty predictable because of some notes you find before the reveal.
I don't know about functioning like an indie or not, but Nintendo is defiantly innovative. Look at the consoles even. The past two Nintendo consoles have made more changes to gameplay than any other consuls out there. With Xbox and Plaustation its all about graphics nothing's really changed gameplay-wise since their first gens
@invictus4000 Thank you for the recommendation! I've never actually played a Silent Hills game mostly because the only one on a Nintendo console is Shattered Memories and my parents thought I was too young for it when it came out. But I've been wanting to try one out for a while now and I know this game stated out as a SH so I figured this would be a good place to start.
I'll probably get it if it's good. I'm new to the horror genre and I prefer the games to have an atmosphere and some sort of psychological component. Not just jump scares like FNAF.
@Knuckles Maybe. Although I'm a fan of Animal Crossing I'm really not interested in HHD. I'd rather they just release the system so I'm not paying for both it and a game I probably won't play.
NoA please release the New 3DS in the U.S. I really want the 3D effect and better processing power while being able to carry other stuff in the same pocket.
I don't pay much attention to the clothes my characters wear apart from their stats. But it is annoying how they make really young characters dress like that. I'm kinda glad just because I know the second I put that on one of them for the stats my parents will probably walk in.
I really do hope they decide to put it in a museum. With something as rare and unfortunately not worth much as a gaming console, it'd be the perfect thing to put on display. (I mean it's not worth much as a console because there were never any games made specifically for it. It's worth a lot as a collectors item though. As it should be.)
While I do download smaller titles I generally buy the physical copy for larger titles like Smash. Even though I know it's probably not going to happen I'd really like to see disks be replaced with cartridges again. I feel like they have a higher collection value and I just love the feeling of loading up a cartridge.
Ok considering this wasn't any kind of prank and that both parties were fans and players of Pokemon why on Earth would they do this? Does anybody know what their motive was?
You really can't trust tabloids for any kind of remotely reliable information and if the "issue" is what I think it is it can be said for just about any kind of action figure ever really. And it's just people looking way too closely at it anyway
