Some more Barry Bradford's Putt Panic Party for me!

yas!

Actually reads very positively. Considering this was made by one guy.

Well, I think it looks excellent. But then I would expect me to say that because I made it.

@RealPoketendoNL it's 2.99

@Mega_Yarn_Poochy Volumetric rendering lets a developer draw non-polygonal stuff. Things that have volume. Usually used for things like light shafts, fog, smoke, that sort of thing.

Here I'm using the technique to render very complex shapes that the Wii U wouldn't otherwise be able to draw. These fractals already have millions of points of detail. Spacial folding lets me mirror parts of that structure which means even more detail.

@Mega_Yarn_Poochy There's a trailer here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IXmLvoKCK2o

@clvr and it's only march!

Oh god the jumping. Please work on the jumping. The jumping needs work.

PS: the jumping.

Suspicious!

@Kevlar44 yeah man, I wouldn't have been able to see half that game without it, let alone complete the thing

I loved this game would be great on vita. I wonder if you can still find the infinite life cave in this version.

At least two more games would come out in Europe if this happened.

@kenzo the BU8844FV is just an adpcm decoder, right?

@RadioShadow the Japanese master system had a very simple fm chip - which was removed from the console for international release - so only very few games supported it.

These guys have no idea what FM means. This is all very misleading. The NES did not do FM synthesis.

Just played the first four or so levels of single player. It's ok! I'm finding some of it really hard and I feel like I'm missing something. The boss fights are strange.

@Captain_Gonru Yeah, I read it and thought it would have been higher. It seems like the reviewer liked the game overall. I guess we've just been conditioned to think anything below 7 is bad. Scoring with numbers is a strange thing anyway, I just hope people actually read the review and aren't put off by the number at the end.

@Captain_Gonru I think 6 is a bit harsh. It's got 8.5 and 9 in reviews elsewhere. I think it's great but I'm biased.

@Captain_Gonru the colelctables unlock miiverse stamps!

Does it still have the thing where your dead friends end up as zombies? I've seen the local player become one but it's not clear if the network features are in tact. Rip greasy lens effect too

Looks like I'll have to boot up some zombiu tonight.

@Sceptic amen, friend

@TG1 I think this shows that the reviewer didn't play for long enough to see that stuff. How can you talk about this game and not mention robotic sheep or cheeseburgers?

It doesn't seem like the reviewer played the game for very long. Very harsh to give such a low score because they wanted and arcadey pilotwings thing and got a simulation.

@KevTastic84 oh! so it's a generic controller than can also rip games, well that might be different then.

@KevTastic84 if it's anything like the retron5 (which I own and love) it won't support roms at all.

It's a fun idea but wouldn't a gameboy advance be smaller/more portable? (and not drain your phone battery).

Yes! I like the look of that. I hope the euro price is something sensible.

@RantingThespian top notch.

@andregurov <3

I heard on twitter the game runs at a solid 60fps

Maximum excitement levels!

The guy in that video has a great voice he should be in games.

@Marshi I'm having the same problem. I really want to get into it but 2/3 matches I get booted from after a min or so.

Glad it's selling well though.

Oh dear, I hope not. All technical details aside this would ruin the console in the eyes of the hardcore. Putting it alongside dead ventures like the OUYA.

Looks like mercenaries mode from any RE game. I bet it's randomly generated and riddled with micro-transactions. Looks heartless and empty.

I'd be more excited if it wasn't F2P. A good co-op dungeon crawler could be a bunch of fun.

I still would really like to play this. It looks bananas. I'm also always up for anything different in the action genre. Chopping up dudes and then forming treaties. Sounds like a load of fun.

oof, if this is all true then I feel really bad for that developer. Having to downgrade a finished game to fit a platform is hard, let alone with an engine that was designed to work with said platform. That's a tough job.

I'll take a faded black on orange like the inkling is wearing.

I wonder if the retron 5 will get some sort of add-on to help it compete. I've got one and I'd like to see PCE support. The controller looks nice which is a change from the strange clicky mess of the retron5.

I see lots of post processing effects. Expensive ones. Just a guess as to why the Wii U version would take significant optimisation. Pro tip: check on hardware before making promises.

Finally. Really looking forward to this.

Very interesting stuff!

Lots of warning signs in that kickstarter video for me. Remember that lovely pixel art and animation does not make a good game on it's own.

Finishing a game is always the hardest part. Knowing when to stop adding features is step one.

@kirk sure but that makes this an error in editing at worst. It could even have been a deliberate choice to show the classic footage even though the guy played the snes re-release.

Given that the game /was/ released on the console this is a fairly small editing error. I first played mgs on the gamecube and mm on the 3ds. This can all get quite confusing.

@unrandomsam ah yes, I forgot about that thing

Two games, both dropped because of copyright infringement, that's really not a good track record. I doubt we will see a third.

I guess if it wasn't mentioned specifically that means these are going to run at 480p like in wii mode. Any hints otherwise?

Ah well, I went for it. Will see how I feel in a few days but I like these exclusive editions.
