@ReshaSong The wheel thing is something people freaked out about for no reason. To move on to the next stage within a world (that you haven't beaten yet) you spin a wheel. It normally has 3 one spaces, a one 2 space, and one 3 space. What ever number space you land on is how many places you move forward on the map, thus selecting which stage you move to next. How many spins you get depends on which of the 3 UFO's you hit at the end of the stage you played before. The tiles can be replaced with what ever number you want easy by paying like...I think its like 170 coins (ingame coins...I have well over 20k and I've never ran out even with using the chibi-capsule machine and power up stuff). So if you wanna move one space forward and don't wanna risk it, you just buy the tiles and replace them with the number of spaces you wanna move. When you beat a world, the wheel goes away for that world. You can move around when ever you want. People freaked out about it, but even from the very start you can literally rig the wheel to do exactly what you want. I've bought dozens of those back up items (they cost coins) and DOZENS of chibi-capsules and I've never run out of coins. In fact, my coin count is going up. So using the coins to replace tiles...not a big deal.
Well they did say it would possibly be the last attempt at making into the main stream market. It didn't say it would be the last Chibi-Robo ever. Maybe there will be a smaller release on the eshop like photo-finder in the future. Top 10 is not a bad thing honestly.
I really hope they don't ditch Chibi for good. The game is really good, and they were sooo close to making a game that could become main stream. If they ditched the wheel and product placement stuff it would have been just what the masses would have loved. And honestly, I don't mind ether. I'm still enjoying the mess out of that game.
Picked this one up yesterday and have been playing it for a bit now. My impressions: The roulette wheel is annoying for level selects but it isn't bad since you can easily just replace the wheel tiles, and the product placement is weird but isn't bad ether as I like learning trivia about stuff (and as you turn them in you get trivia about the item.) All in all, I can see why some people would be turned off by this, but I'm still enjoying it very much. I feel that a 6 out of 10 was a bit harsh, I'm thinking more of a 7, to 7.5 range. It isn't a bad game, and it's actually pretty fun. And the Amiibo is ADORABLE.
It's a maybe for me. Not that it doesn't look and sound like a great amazing tool...just with the current line up of games coming out my wallet is looking very thin.
I've never seen the appeal of those sorts of levels. I mean, you actually want to play a game when your playing Mario Maker...not watch one. Playable levels for the win!
Dude that Falco cosplay is amazingly detailed. Looks like everyone had fun =) !
Edit: DUDE look at the 11th picture. The guy playing the Wii U in the background's reaction is PRICELESS. It's ether a Oh dude what that mess! Or a WOOOOOOOOOOAHHHHHHHHHHHHHH expression. I honestly can't tell but it's golden.
I think I bought around 1500 diamonds total...but I honestly can't see myself buying more. Even if it came out as a full physical release in the west I see myself skipping it. Sure it is fun, but the story mode is suppppppppper short. I still find myself using the lucky balloon every day, but that's about it.
I wouldn't mind the game, as something sorta like mario party without the craziness is right up my alley. However, I highly doubt I'll buy it full price. The Amiibo's however are ADORABLE! Will probly try to pick up at least 2 of those.
I've bought just about every chibi robo game they have put out state side minus the game cube one (which one day I'd love to own.). I even preordered the bundle of ziplash. I hope chibi does well in sales...would be a major bummer to see him go!
If two people could still play with an AI (if it needs 3 links to function) I would give this a shot...but since the single player doesn't seem good, and I don't have a 3rd person to play with...This shall be a pass for me.
It's not plants vs. zombies. I got the game before the review came out...and man I wish I had waited. The difficulty curve is super steep, and it just isn't very fun. Just about zero story, zero explanation (which I really didn't need seeing as it wasn't my first type of this game), and just zero production. It functions, so there is that at least...but MAN it's not fun.
No disrespect meant, but analyst aren't exactly who I would turn to for advice about games, or what makes games profitable. Sure Nintendo has made some mistakes over the years, but just shoving them solely on mobile would be very bad. Besides, Nintendo is a toy company. It isn't zynga or popcap, or heck even Sony. They have their own way of doing things, and simply following the trend to a T isn't one of them. They are the trend makers, not the trend takers. drops mic (is aware that last part was dumb.)
I can see both sides of the argument on this. I just hope the VA's keep their requests reasonable as many game companies these days would just cut the voices out of the game (or hire non union-ed temp workers) to fulfill there game's need. I wish both sides the best, and hope it works out ok!
I haven't been in a walmart or target for at least 2 weeks, so this must all be pretty new. I'll have to check it out next time I got shopping. Even if it doesn't signal anything, it still looks very pretty from the photos.
I've always loved the toy maker side of Nintendo. Focusing on fun, not how realistic the graphics are or any of that other stuff. I love Nintendo's games, and heck even their hanafuda cards are great. I hope they never stop making games and toys for people of all ages.
I got to the next to last stage, and kept dying. This is saying that it took me over an hour to beat the stage before that. Sadly, my reaction timing is not as good as it used to be when I was a teenager, so this 'cheat' code is a great thing in my opinion. Will I use it? Probably not. Sure that level leaves me yelling and screaming like a sailor but I'm still going to try and beat the main game to get at the new stuff the old fashion way.
Because there are a bunch of people out there who 'don't have time' for the internet and literally just buy their kid anything without checking into it first. I once had an older gentleman buy his 6 year old grandson Assassins Creed 2 even when I mentioned it was M for mature and had a sex scene implied in the opening just because 'he didn't care about video games'. People can be REALLY stubbornly stupid.
Seems like an OK move to me. I do wish they would have made the GBA eshop stuff cross buy since I don't enjoy playing most handheld games on that giant game pad or a tv. Just looses the nostalgia feeling for me at that point.
