I'm confused....

I love Carpenter movies and I hate Labo (speaking from ACTUAL EXPERIENCE, not assumption), but what the hell was this ???

it was obviously professionally filmed and edited, but what the hell is this ???

was it meant to be a publicity ad FOR Labo gone bad and this is some type of outtake or did he get this for a grandchild and tried it to play with the grandchild and it sucked so bad he felt it necessary to gather his group and make a "Public Service Announcement" with IGN Trashing the Labo ??? what was IGN's original reason for this so late after Labo had been released and for not just anyone reviewing it, but JAMES CAMERON SPECIFICALLY ???
it's more like a skit on James Cordon ???
I mean REALLY, WTF IS THIS ???

I don't know those mags and really couldn't give a hoot they are going out of business, but I do think it is awesome they aren't doing like most other companies do and just give notice then dump them, that was very cool to find them new jobs

@AloftStudio
I'll talk to all my circles, most have 90%+ gamers involved, most also are huge indie supporters also, plus they are ALL big blabbermouths and virally spread talk like a church full of old women, their friends also have friends, ect. ect.

I'll see what I can pull off

I have seen a lot of game clones, love them, but most usually fall pretty short to the inspiring game, from watching the vid three times total, it has the look down, seems like it has the feel of the same gameplay mechanics, as I try to find out more about the game, I'm getting more interested, as clones go, I think they hit this one on the nose

@AloftStudio
Nintendo is screwing up with not bringing back Virtual Console and denying players many of the ports they REALLY want and the two top are LoZ: ALTTP & Super Metroid, if this game is released (preferably on cartridge), it will immediately fill a huge void, others will wait, but as reviews (probably positive), your customer base will expand and those who are uber loyal will probably pick it up also.

if this game succeeds, there will likely be a huge demand for your company to make a faithful Super Metroid clone.....

if you need any help, I have a lot of pull in certain areas and I may be able to help increase exposure to your fund page if interested

@AloftStudio again, sorry about being so harsh, my past experiences with regular and game kickstarts that deny information and turned out backfiring has put me on the defensive I guess

as for investing, I was serious about up to $80 if it feels good, it most certainly looks good so far though

@AloftStudio
the link to
https://www.aloftstudio.com/hazelnutbastille
comes up blank on my Kindle browser, I tried it on my phone, it was also blank but about 10 seconds later it popped up, I will retract that part, my apologies, but am still concerned about the secrecy on who's involved when asked on Twitter

I have updated the link concern, but am still concerned about your description of the game, I've had all the Zelda games, a few of the early Mana games and all Metroid and Castlevania games and it is very confusing you would describe it as a Metroidvania meets Mana instead of a pefect LoZ: ALTTP

@KimBread the video showed an awful lot of content, it wouldn't surprise me if the game was already completed, I see game kickstarters like that all the time, they keep most of the money (probably to help improve the game and make other games)and use the rest to pay for fees and marketing and (when possible) physical production

Well, I was sold after about the 13 second mark, I hope they will make physical copies available to regular customers, not just "backers", I would like to back it, but if a backer has to invest $80+ for a physical copy, I'm out.

PROBLEM ALERT
I tried going to the link to learn more about how much a backer would have to invest to get a "physical copy", but it just comes up a blank white, maybe it's just my browser,
Update apparently the site not happy with Kindle browser, but works on my Windows browser and my phone, cool

and on their twitter, they described it as a combination of "Metroidvania" & Secret of Mana.....WTH ???
not according to what was shown on the vid, it is a solid, perfect clone of LoZ: ALTTP, it seems weird they can't even correctly describe their game type.

@Tyranexx (I believe you can touch the sky too )

I would use it early on, to get on or near the top of unregistered towers, avoiding some of those that are almost impossible to get up even a third of the way without being attacked

Michelle Pfeiffer and Julie Newmar in that order, I like Anne Hathaway, but she sucked as Catwoman also, I guess that Bicondova girl from Gotham as #3 if she was a little older, the main reason I don't say Lee Meriwether is because even though she was attractive, she looked and acted like a cheerleader in a cat suit

I imagine MOST countries want Catwoman over for dinner (and desert ), except for Halley Berry trying to imitate Eartha Kitt in that stupid outfit

??? Wait, why would they think asking which baddies looks/act like your boss and who you want for dinner be a good way to advertise the game ???

@NEStalgia I mostly watched Andromeda for Lexa Doig (the computer), the rest of the show was just bonus material, the thing that made it difficult for me was I never saw Captain Dylan Hunt, all I saw was Hercules captoning the Andromeda, I just could never take the show too seriously

Damien McFerren, good, informative and intelligent article, unlike most of the writers here

@NEStalgia
Andromeda ???
are you talking about the tv show ???

@OorWullie
don't over-analyze why I don't want to update my firmware....you're wrong, my reason is I purchased my hardware and own it, not renting or leasing, it works fine as is and the fact they force you to update to be able to do the things it's already supposed to do, or suffer the consequences is called "extortion", it's principle for me

as for hacking/modding/cracking, ect., I have no interest, because I am a solid cartridge person and hate anything stored in system memory and/or sd card (when it comes to my game systems), so storing stolen games (that are probably infectect with some virus anyway) on a memory card on my expensive ass system ain't gonna work for me

so don't be so rude, that was a presumption that makes you look like a jackass

wish there was a way for me to download all the Odyssey content without actually having to do the system firmware update

@Kamalen
she has beaten the game many times and comparing an SNES game to an NES game is like comparing Super Metroid to Metroid Prime

@BitLounger
it more of a symbiotic relationship, software sells games, but the hardware gives the makers of the games more tools and opportunities to make better games...so one cannot live without the other

but if you wish to argue, I have a portable NES with 256 games on it, all excellent games that sold greatly, I'll let you have for say $300

the games sell the system after all

So it costs more than 3x the Switch (or a Switch and NINE $60 games), and the control is optional, sold separately (Mo Money, Mo Money), is it remote like the Joy-Cons ???, Hmm, no mention...curious and ALSO no mention of ability to hook up to a tv.......most curious

I particularly like the mention of "Increased Portability", when the device looks the same size as the Switch base, add on the "optional control" and seems like it's "increased portability" drops to almost equal to Switch", misleading marketing, yah, nothing new there.

sounds like any regular iPhone, but they hope for third party game producer support

that is NOT a "Rival", it's an attempt at a "Marketing Campaign" against Apple, they will not be able to "Ruin" anything for gaming or Nintendo

@Kamalen
I would like to disagree with your assessment that the game is harder than todays games because we have become complacent in gameplay due to more advanced controls, yet, save for the Switch, all Nintendo portables still use the very same controls as the NES, basic buttons on the right, cross pad/D Pad on the left, select and start, the gameplay of Zelda itself is very simple and my 7 year old loves it and if a 7 year old finds it an easy play and easy difficulty, I'm curious if you have even played LoZ 1

Well, this could be fun for games that use swings and thrusts of knives and swords

I'm not sure even the Great Simon Belmont can handle Count Duckula !!!

@Silly_G
Snorlax...nice

@Silly_G
don't forget that polystyrene also absorbs methane gas...
so try NOT to fart too much in it, not all the Lysol or fabric refresher sprays in the world still wouldn't help !!! (ESPECIALLY my farts)

I think if they also made that thing Bowser Jr. always flying around in, it would go nuts also,
(but $60 AT MOST NOT $140 X( , Yeeeesh !!!)

this is NOT a story people want to read about, (yet another example of pathetic scrounging for anything to legitimize their involvement with NL as article writers)

yay...coupon day on 6 dlc/Virtual Console games on 3DS/N3DS & Wii U.

there, one sentence, now how about a REAL story, contact Reggie or some other Nintendo reps that may be able(or willing) to say if Nintendo Direct will begin adding access to games from other systems like SNES, N64, NGC, GBA, GB/GBC, ect.

even if you tried to push for an answer and was refused, it is still an informative article as would the refusal and/or "no comment"

don't ACT like story writers, actually DO THE WORK AND GET OUT THERE AND BE REPORTERS ¡¡¡

so, it costs more than 3x the Switch (or a Switch and NINE $60 games), and the control is optional, sold separately and no mention of ability to hook up to a tv.......

@Kalmaro
I agree people should get a memory card, but product marketing has become so ingratiated and synonymous with "quality", people are afraid to buy the cards I resell on ebay and Amazon, 256GB cards for $25, I buy them for slightly less of course, but I test them and properly format for use in tablets and Switches, but it's the fact they are so low price and made by some no name company from China that makes people afraid, and my job of selling harder, so people feel forced to buy 128 & 256 card for $50-$80 and a lot of people feel if they are going to be forced to pay that price, they might as well just buy a lower capacity one cheaper and a cartridge game and switch the sd cards out

hi-cap cards won't come down any time soon as long as there is not a better and universal technology for storage, as long as they can get away with it, they will over charge for those cards as long as possible

it's the dark side of commerce, happens most commonly in the dairy and petroleum industry also

people seem to think the system has 32GB internal storage, and that is partially true, however, upon actually examining, the space left after you register and update the first time is between 24GB-22GB, so yah, a 6GB day one download hits pretty hard

Guess it doesn't matter now since they just released that they will NOT be doing it

since the video seems to not be working, I don't know what this game is like

@SetupDisk
your "No Shirt" guy (Aiyn) doesn't wear pants either, all he wears is a piece of cloth over his crotch that is also crawling between his ass cheeks, and the skinny girl with the red hair (Junis) who looks about 14, has no skirt or pants either, also nothing but a string thong below the waist, but she actually (in the last game) was shown flaunting it like the Bat Signal everytime she popped up, looks the same here too, then there's the woman in black (Kaen) who's nips are her secondary weapon, put your eyes out and blind you, all of the games were ALWAYS S**tty games, but very popular because of the characters T&A

at least Mega Man 11 has other aspects, this type of game got way overused in the 90's and was basically overkilled killed off by the TG-16.

hey, ramen may be awesome, but eat it everyday for far too long and you get REAL sick of it REAL quick and for the rest of your life and exposure to even slightly better stuff makes you never want to anyway, this game is dated and stupid, no matter how many bountifull, bouncing boobs, poking nips and plump, firm, round bum cheeks hang out in interuptions and cut scenes

A yes, yet ANOTHER mediocre (if that) game that has to make up for it and also get players attention with girls T&A hanging out.

obviously that makes it an awesome game, maybe while bouncing around a nip will accidentally on purpose pop out, or a gust of wind will blow up the bottom and you can see her thong...or more
honestly, didn't these type of side scrolling flying/floating in mid air/space games go out with the 90's,
NO WONDER THEY HAVE TO FLASH SOME T&A, this isn't a "mediocre" game, this is just a stupid outdated game trying to come back to life with the help of skin and hot bods.....oh, hell yah, look at her...hey, tight, black leather with hard nips trying to escape.....gotta love it right ???

oh hey, what was the game about again ???

Hori controllers are especially bad

@Kalmaro
I didn't hear about a MM movie, just a half live, half animated Sonic movie that Jim Carrey is supposed to be Dr. Wiley, I love Carrey, but some people are just not meant for certain roles, like Ben Affleck, great actor.....but he's no Batman

@Kalmaro
are you talking about the recent movie or the 2005 animated show ???
because I think they did great on the 2005 show, Flash and all characters

would you be forced to go through Nintendo or Nintendo Direct ???
If so, I'm out !!!

@Kalmaro
yah, not a bad observation, but running or standing, he still looks silly, put a large beachball over the side of your arm and have a friend take a pic of you, it's not a perfect comparison, but gives you an idea how stupid it looks, LOL, in earlier games, it was not much different than Samus' gun-arm, cylindrical and a realistic size, now imagine how (NOT) cool Samus would look if her gun-arm was a big orange beach ball ???

I know the big M has had various shapes of his gun-arm, but I think the over-exaggerated bulbous nature of it has gone too far this time and could have been a little better, it's not an important thing really, but his arm transforms back and forth from hand to gun and seeing it turn into a giant oblong ball just looks silly

I'm curious what the other three apps that beat PG were

I don't think cost had anything to do with it, it was probably Nintendo, they currently have an exclusive contract with that other company that makes Lego type toys, so I doubt it would have happened

Thank God it's not made by Hori

@zionich
I get "Your Switch and your kids are ready for this game..."

But "Your BODY Is Ready" ???
Uhhmmm.....
Well, I've heard of some interesting foreplay, but never heard of "Foregameplay"

@AlexSora89
If you would like to stretch your funny bone, come over to
"A Night At The Nimprov"
you can get bad, just keep the 4 & 5 letter expletives out

@SimplyCinnamon53
go onto imdb.com
then look him up, he's been the Joker for over 20years, plus he played a similar DC character, a nemesis of the Flash called "The Trixster", he player that character many times, in the live action 1991 show The Flash, in the newer show and in the animated 2005 Justice League, he was also Robin for a while in the 90's Batman animated series, he's been a professional voice actor for many years, but just for the hell of it, look up Batman the animated series, Superman (animated) and Justice League & JLU and look at the voice cast, you may be suprized just how many big celebrities do voice acting, the DC shows were the best because Andrea Romano was responsible for it

Mark Hamill is the second best Joker by a lot of people's standards, and considering how many live and animated Jokers there has been, that pretty damn good

@baller98 one can only hope, but i won't hold my breath

@lickcheez
Many of the voice cast of Batman, Superman, Justice League Unlimited are in the but it looks like John Barrowman (Malcolm Merlyn of the WB "Arrow") is also in it

@ReaderRagfish @Kalmaro
I've looked into this game, you may find it interesting, I'm stoked (not about the $60 price tag though)

@Velocirapstar
you usually have to unlock those characters though, but i have a feeling, Lego will keep up with their formula and you can unlock good guys(and gals) to replay beaten levels
