Re: Video: This Hyrule Warriors Launch Trailer Aims to be Legendary

PonyOfWar

Good trailer, but it's interesting how the reviews they chose for the trailer merely describe the game as "solid". Usually if they show such reviews in a trailer it would say something like "masterpiece 10/10".
Personally, I'm still not very interested in the title, since I don't like the Dynasty Warriors games.

Re: Miiverse Tells the Tale of a Broken Mario Kart 8 Street Date

PonyOfWar

It's already being sold everywhere in Germany. In online mode, most players are from Germany, Spain, France and Japan, so those seem to be the countries that broke the street date. Haven't seen a single American player yet. I went to two stores today and both already had it. I cancelled my Amazon preorder since they also sold it slightly cheaper.

Re: The 3DS YouTube App Has Finally Gone Live

PonyOfWar

Wow, extremely disappointing. The "High quality" still looks worse than 240p. The 3DS should be capable of handling much higher quality videos. Well, it's not like I really need it, especially while there isn't even a 3D option.

Re: Review: Giana Sisters: Twisted Dreams (Wii U eShop)

PonyOfWar

Good review. Just a little bit of nitpicking: Blackforest games didn't just buy the IP from Spellbound, they basically are spellbound. They just changed their name and decided to go indie, so this giana sisters is made by many of the people involved in the original game.

Re: Nicalis: Kemco's Mobile RPG Grinsia Coming to 3DS

PonyOfWar

I played some of Kemco's games on Android and found them decidedly average. Not bad for an RPG on android but considering the great titles available for DS and 3DS I don't see any reason for me to buy this. Of course, this version does have the advantage of the controls probably not being horrible.

Re: Nintendo Files New Eternal Darkness Trademark

PonyOfWar

@BraveBold5 I don't think the shadow of the eternals guys would like this. An official sequel would probably mean that people will care more for the official than the spiritual successor. If you think that SotE will be picked up by Nintendo and renamed as Eternal darkness, that won't happen unless the kickstarter gets cancelled and the game is not released for PC.

Re: Review: BUGS vs. TANKS! (3DS eShop)

PonyOfWar

@dumedum
1. It's a fantasy game where you are fighting against bugs. Do you seriously try to turn this into some kind of serious historic commentary?
2. German soldiers in WW2 were fighting for the nazis, but that doesn't mean every German or German soldier at that time was automatically a nazi. No, the Nazis aren't the "good guys" in this game and the game doesn't glorify (or even mention) their ideology in any way.

Re: Evidence of a Functional 3DS Flashcard Emerges

PonyOfWar

This looks like it will only hold 1 game at a time, so I doubt many people will use it. I might buy a flashcard, if a decent amount of 3DS homebrew is released. There was some pretty great 3DS homebrew. I'd rather like the hackers to work on a device to get around the 3DS' region protection. I'd totally buy that.

Re: Talking Point: The Wii U's Next-Gen Challenge Starts to Take Shape

PonyOfWar

I think the big advantage the WiiU has, is being a traditional console. It doesn't have any of the crippling limitations like always-on and not being able to sell used games, that the x1 has and the ps4 may have. No gamer wants this, and while the WiiU may be significantly less powerful, I still think it has a strong advantage with this.
