Re: Head of Sonic Team Explains Why Dr. Robotnik Started Going by "Eggman"

PanicPuppet

I always preferred Eggman. He looks like one and puts "Egg" in the name of hundreds of machines, bases, and ships; so it makes more sense that way. He's a evil doctor who's obsessed with Eggs!

People who say that nonsense about his name being silly; may I direct your attention to a guy called "The Joker."

Robotnik is cool in its own right too; but it just reminds me of the Sonic SatAM and AoStH incarnations of the Doc. Both of which I don't really care for.

Re: ​Sonic Team is Working on a New Sonic Game

PanicPuppet

Please legitimately release the anniversary title on a Nintendo console this time Sega, and not a lazy afterthought. (Generations 3DS)

I haven't fully enjoyed a Sonic game since Colors, (Generations 3DS was meh, Lost World was very meh) but I'm hoping for the best. I've been a longtime fan, and always want to see the blue hedgehog succeed.

Re: Poll: What Did You Think of Nintendo's E3 2016?

PanicPuppet

I'm sorry to say, but this E3 was mostly disappointing for me. I'm not into Zelda or Pokémon, so the Waluigi amiibo reveal was my highlight lol.

I'm really surprised they didn't mention or show any Federation Force; it comes out in 2 months so why not? I've been craving a new Metroid title for too long; hopefully I'll enjoy FF for what it is.

Re: Next Year's Mega Man Cartoon Looks Certain To Maintain Proud Tradition Of Annoying Fans

PanicPuppet

@3MonthBeef Yeah I really don't follow much either. I know of Megaman Zero and Megaman ZX, but the middle reddish ones look so similar.

But bottom line: Megaman isn't soley the NES incarnation to people, and others shouldn't be so quick to judge an entire unaired TV series based on (most likely) unfinished production artwork.

Though I personally don't care much myself, I just want to give it a fair chance.

Re: Next Year's Mega Man Cartoon Looks Certain To Maintain Proud Tradition Of Annoying Fans

@3MonthBeef That's often true about what incarnation one was exposed to first. Me personally I played some of the X games first, and got into Legends a bit later. Its been one of my favorite games for a long time now.

I just prefer the adventure and exploration elements of the Legends series, to very tired NES style that honestly comes across as lazy after the first 3; let alone up to 10.

With the TV show design itself, I'm pretty sure this isn't a fully-accurate image of what he'll look like in the show. It seems like concept art more than anything.

At least he's blue; unlike 4 of those other MM incarnations above. That should count for something right?

Re: Ninterview: Ahmed Bin Fahad Discusses Building the World's Biggest Nintendo Collection

PanicPuppet

That's awesome that he enjoys it; more power to him. very cool Tri-Force shelves.

Me personally, I don't see the appeal of collecting things just because they're related to Nintendo. (or anything else for that matter)

I'd only collect the things I truly love and/or have fond memories of. There's just no way people who have walls and walls of --say NES games, can honestly say they like every single one of them.

Re: Anniversary: New Super Mario Bros. is Now a Decade Old

PanicPuppet

While I never played NSMB, I did get NSMB Wii the week it came out; had a lot of fun for months! Didn't really enjoy NSMB2, never played NSMBU, but found Super Luigi U to be an interesting game; being a harder version of Mario U but with minor tweaks.

Hopefully the "New" series will be in hibernation for awhile; at least until it gets a major shake-up. It went from novel to lazy pretty fast.

Re: ​Nintendo is Getting Into the Movie Business

PanicPuppet

Very exciting news to hear! I feel like they'd go with Mario and/or Zelda first. Hopefully not too far off after that, they'll give Metroid a proper cinematic treatment. (Other M's "movie mode" is how not to do it) F-Zero and Star Fox would definitely be amazing too!

Re: Sega's Shinobi Series Is Getting The Big Screen Treatment

PanicPuppet

A very unexpected but welcome surprise! Hopefully it'll be cheesy fun at the very least.

I became a fan of the Shinobi series not too long ago when I bought GG Shinobi after it first came out on the eShop. After that I got the 3DS Shinobi, Shadow Dancer, and 3D Shinobi III. Very fun and difficult series that needs more attention!

Re: Review: Star Fox Zero (Wii U)

PanicPuppet

I'm looking forward to playing a new Star Fox after so long. (Assault was the last new one I got; loved it)

I'm a bit nervous/excited to see how good the Gamepad integration will go for me as I've barely gotten any "true" use out it since Arkham City, Nintendo Land, and Game & Wario came out.

Its great to have the series truly come out of retirement! Welcome back Fox!

Re: Editorial: From Metroid: Other M to Star Fox Zero, the Awkward Experimentation With Beloved Franchises

PanicPuppet

Star Fox has never been consistent since SF64, and I'm okay with that. Assault and Adventures are personal favorites of mine due to their uniqueness compared to the rest of the series. Zero still looks like it'll be great imo.

With Other M... I hated it with a fiery passion mainly due to Samus' characterization, and still don't think highly of it; but I found the gameplay itself pretty fun. In recent years I've come to wonder how different the reception might've been if the game took place much earlier in the timeline, possibly before even Zero Mission. Samus would be a more inexperienced bounty hunter and her trials through the game (confronting Ridley for the first time since she was a child and such) would help mold her into the character we all know and love. With a few tweaks to the story to show that, I think Other M would've been a better received game overall.
