When they add these three
they should be roaming like in original games. If people think GO is causing lapses of idiocy now, wait what would happen if people had to chase them around
Sounds fine (well, relatively speaking since I don't really care all that much), but shouldn't their first movie deal represent what the franchise is about a little more? I think an animated movie for kids not starring the un-aging animated character from a series as old as I am would be the better move. Like telling a normal story Ghibli/Disney style, not promoting the "super-rare-legendary-you-guys-!!!" of the day, you know...
Imagine if Nintendo played to their strengths, put some emulators on the thing, and be like "Hey witches, btw, you can play any GB, GBA, DS, NES, SNES, N64, GameCube and Wii game on it for 1-5$". With some good launch titles and 3rd party support, just for the access to the whole DS library digitally and for cheap, it could be worth a buy.
Bottle caps? Seriously? First some weird VR balloon training and now this? Those weird things totally break immersion of what I'd do if I were a kid training a pet monster!
How about just some freakin' My DayCare, so instead of running around on a bike on a route back and forth - which is an ancient boring mechanic - you could buy equipment for the DayCare so the Pokemon have better environment, and that would raise the IVs of their eggs. You would prepare the Pokemon various food to set the nature of the eggs they make. Then you'd play a minigame and depending on your success, the Pokemon would then pop out more of better quality eggs. Another egg-heating minigame for quickly hatching the eggs en masse. Some NPCs would then adopt the fresh hatchlings you wouldn't want to keep, instead of coldheartedly releasing them, and you'd earn some money to buy better equipment for the daycare.
These things write themselves. But no. Bottle caps.
Unified software platform starting with NX, right? I wish. I'm afraid that Nintendo will once again want to sell us the same old games with overblown prices, but I would be glad if I were wrong.
That moment when you realize you stopped viewing Homer as the "dad" character you saw him as when you used to watch the show, and see him now more as someone who could be your colleague...
@gefflt Guilty as charged. I'd find it funny if Pokemon Go came out, but with good choice of Pokemon available only in Japan and all other countries being filled with nothing but stereotypes. Imagine USA full of Snorlax and Nintendo being like "Hey, what's up?"
Ok, so only cosmetic and grinding day one DLC. Not all that interested.
I'm not against actual more content-full DLC coming later, provided it wasn't cut from the game. Wouldn't entire DLC dungeons with extra post-game challenges be cool?
@roy130390 Haven't tried Monster Hunter multiplayer yet as AFAIK MH3U doesn't have online on 3DS.
I'm afraid of people online being like - "Noob, what are you doing? You're using the wrong weapon! You are supposed to go after the tail first, how don't you know that? Yada yada yada..." disconnects. So don't know, if the monsters are different in both, and both are worth playing, I might as well buy MH4U first, as it is cheaper...
I first bought MH3U for my first 3DS. I stopped playing after repeatedly getting killed underwater by Lagiacrus in the early monster guts mission, due to terrible controls without a second circle pad.
Now, since I have a New 3DS, I tried to replay the game, and I love it.
So when I'm done with the game, should I get MH4U, Generations, or both, eventually?
Sounds nice. Who knows, maybe one day with creators like these who realize some parts of localization are not necessary and fans who cry out for the original experience, the publishers (or whoever responsible) won't feel the need to make such changes.
Wow, this could be a monster provided it gets an evolution with a nice stat distribution. And I like the design - a salamander/lizard. It's surprising this is the first one with this type combination, fire and poison fumes go well together thematically.
A lot of it is speculations about NX, but there is nothing fundamentally wrong about what he says.
I personally don't care about FIFA, Battlefield, etc. 3rd party support as much as about support by Atlus, but it makes sense to cover that market if they want to move a lot of consoles.
@Luke937 I know the game they're playing, but then they shouldn't claim making VC games is hard. And if I won't buy Wii U for Wii U games I'd like to play, I sure as heck won't buy it to play 10+ years old games.
First emulators on any old phone and now this. And yet "emulating GBA games on a 3DS would take too much time from developers working on real current gen titles", if I remember what they said correctly. Virtual console is a joke. It looks like they practically want you to be a pirate if you want to play older games.
The 2D art does these Pokemon more justice, as is usual.
As most, I don't like the fish all that much, we have too many fish Pokes as is, but hey, the game is taking place on islands, so this generation gets an excuse. Maybe it will have a cooler looking evolution...
I think it could maybe be nice if they even partnered with Disney, I think their IPs could work well together... More than Marvel and Lucasarts anyway.
Hoping it's something cool to have in a console and not a gimmick that they will try to force down our throats. Also hope NX stays the name of the thing and it doesn't become something like a "Wii W"
@FullbringIchigo Hypothetically, they could still skip the 25th anniversary (aside from Fire and Ice), work on some of their other franchises and once everyone hasn't seen Sonic for some time, surprise everyone for the 30th anniversary with a really good game.
Keep Plague Knight at least in a supporting role! Hee hee hee hee hee!
I'd certainly like for them to develop the Shovel Knight IP more. A brand new adventure for Shovel Knight and Shield Knight against a whole new evil group of knights. Maybe something like switching between Shovel and Shield to pass obstacles.
I miss the DS toon Link games. Meanwhile, 3DS has had only one original real single player Zelda, LBW, and as great that one is, it's also very similar to LTTP.
Although if they were to make their own hero game "Overwatch style" for the NX with Zelda characters, that might be fun.
Appreciated, but how about focusing more effort on the fiasco that is many backers still being unable to make their codes work instead of just saying he accepts insults? Seems more productive.
Forgive but don't forget as they say. Good luck with getting any support from anyone in the future, Inafune-san.
I backed this and even though I'm sorry it didn't end up well, I would not say I wish I didn't back it. Kickstarting is about taking risk to help back something, that is kinda the point that it might not turn out well... Now we know how much we can trust in Inafune.
On the side, I just don't get the people who get off on the negativity this game gets. Yes it deserves it sure, but it's nothing to be happy about.
I'd like to see Great Ace Attorney localized before this.
I always liked the setting of the series - normal-like world, but full of wacky characters. From Phoenix's reactions, you could still see that those weird characters were considered weird even in universe. But now, this whole "Kurain is now a country and attorneys are illegal there" thing has me skeptical of the game at the moment...
It feels to me like they're trying to unify the universe with the localization. The Feys were totally not a clan of some fantasy channeler mikos native to Japan, because we're in California see? They were totally originally from this weird country, see? Eat your hamburgers Apollo.
@ULTRA-64 If it brought some money to Ninty from a different audience and maybe introduced Mario to kids who only play on their tablets, I frankly wouldn't care. I highly doubt that is what their next big Mario project is about.
