I'm honestly on the fence about this one. The game does look gorgeous, and I bet the story will be great. However it does look a bit too similar to Sticker Star (which is my least favorite Paper Mario game). It will really depend on the reviews of the game. If they are stellar, I will most likely pick it up. If they are anywhere less than that, I will probably wait until it's on sale.
I am thinking it takes place before Zelda 1 or after Zelda 2. The more vast and destroyed Hyrule is more in line with that timeline. This taking place after Wind Waker doesn't make too much sense after the events of Phantom Hourglass and Spirit Tracks. Also, Hyrule was pretty stable after Twilight Princess, so this would have to be extremely far ahead in that time-line.
Just the look of Hyrule and everything screams Zelda 1 timeline to me.
The last Mario Party game that I had fun playing was Mario Party DS. Every entry after that has been sub par, and not really any fun. They really should just create a "reloaded" version that uses mini games and boards from the first 3, with some twists and bonus content added.
@gcunit And . . . . . . . now I've died. You've killed me. I hope you're happy. Also, have you played Mario Is Missing? This gremlin here sure thinks it's a classic! Also, why do gremlins follow you to heaven? That's weird . . . . wait a minute, a copy of Mario Is Still Missing 5? Sonic Boom 12? Zelda Wii U delayed indefinitely? This isn't heaven!!!!! Aaaaaahhhhh!!!!!!
Someone shut up this gremlin! He keeps telling me to give Mario Is Missing another chance! No, I will not burn down the neighbor's cat! Stop suggesting it! Aaaaahhhh!!!
I just had 6 more heart attacks and another 5 seizures! There needs to be a new health warning when articles about Nintendo's E3 plans are mentioned! Aaaaahhhhhh!!!!
@SanderEvers There's no way they are just costumes. If so, they are the greatest costume ever created by man, and must be comprised of nanobots. Just look at the faces and hands, I find it hard to believe they are just costumes.
I don't have anyone that I know that would ever use it, so Miitomo is worthless to me. Good idea, just for me it would just sit on my phone taking up space.
I just got the game on the 22nd of May for my B-Day. I haven't played much of it. So far I kind of like it, but there are 2 drawbacks:
1 - Motion Controls 2 - No Multiplayer
Now, I have only played some of it, so maybe in a couple days the motion controls will no longer bother me. However, games that only have a single player option (I have no interest in co-op) and no DLC, additional modes, or future add-ons tend to not stay on my shelf for too long. Once I exhaust the game for what it can give me (that's approximately 2-5 months, if it has no multiplayer or other options) it goes up for sale when I need money or want a new game.
I have to say that my interest in E3 this year has reached an all time low. Any PC games I care about are already out, or I've already have enough info on them. As for Nintendo ... other than a little more info on Zelda, I really don't care.
Barring something unexpected (like an annoucement of Quake 5 or anything unexpected from Nintendo) I really don't care about E3 2016.
I just want to know what it is. I'm sick of rumors, delays, lack of Wii U support, and that Nintendo isn't saying anything about NX during E3. Plus then there is the delay of Zelda AGAIN, and this time it feels like they screwed Wii U owners and have delayed it just to launch it with the NX (it feels like Rayman Legends all over again).
I'm getting really sick and tired of everything to do with Nintendo at the moment. I'm not anti-Nintendo, nor am I abadoning ship. I'm just angry and frustrated with them.
Mario Bros: a 3D animated film with Mario and Luigi on their quest to rescue Peach and Daisy from Bowser and DK (with DK turning on Bowser in the end). Wario and Waluigi could have a side story with their quest to get their own film (a little 4th wall breaking there).
The Legend of Zelda: A live action film in the vein of Lord Of The Rings and The Hobbit. I'd have it's story take the best elements from the original game, A Link To The Past, and Ocarina of Time (not the time traveling element, though, too confusing). Make it a mostly serious film, with some playful humor, and a lot of focus on traveling and sword fighting. It could even be a 2 or 3 parter.
Metroid: Think Alien. Take the Metroid Prime stories, merge them, and direct it in the style of Ridley Scott's Alien or Prometheus films. Hell, get Ridley Scott himself to direct it (if possible). Make it either R or a very edgy PG-13 film. Also, get a tough and strong woman like Charlize Theron to play Samus, and ditch the Zero Suit! Make it serious, and make Samus an emotionaly strong and very confident character.
Do those 3 right, and the video game movie curse will be lifted.
I don't think it'll ever come out. In fact, I don't think the game exists at all. I think we've all been hallucinating. The money he raised was not for a game, but a mind altering experimental drug that was released into the air. All that we see are figments of our imagination. Inafune, hasn't been working at all, he's just been eating pie and watching Power Puff Girls.
I just don't understand the lack of NX at E3 (what I view as incredibly stupid and frustrating move) and the delay of Zelda (which hurts and pisses me off).
After the Zedla delay, and no NX at E3, I could care less about this year.
Whoever's descision it was to do this (most likely the new CEO) needs to have their head examined. After last year's bad E3 to only follow it up with pretty much nothing this year isn't building hype. Ths is building disappointment and distrust in Nintendo's future.
As much as I love the Paper Mario and the Mario & Luigi series, there's just something special about SMRPG that neither of those series have yet to capture.
I still hope and pray that one day there will be a proper SMRPG sequel.
I'm a fan of the earlier entries and the DS one, but the recent ones have lost the joy of the originals. I hope the next entry will take Mario Party back to its roots.
I've still yet to see anything I like about the game, other than the names Samus and Metroid (with neither being the focus of the game). I've tried to keep an open mind, but there is nothing there that interests me. The more I see, the less I like.
I have to say, I have tried it and it's alright. However, the problem is that I have no friends who would ever use this. They only use their smart devices for phone calls, Facetime/Skype, (annoying) Trivia Apps, browsing the internet, and Facebook. Also, none of them play any video games at all, so the Nintendo aspect will not draw them in. So, sadly I will pass on this, due to only the severe lack of what I can get out of it.
I hope Nintendo's next App will be more single-user friendly.
@JaxonH There's absolutely nothing "spoilery" about it. Just a bunch of stills and (unless you can speak/read Japanese) a bunch of unkown text and unkown voiceover with a few recognizeable names. Also, if you played Star Fox or Star Fox 64, you know the story.
I'm kind of dissapointed that there is nothing cinematic about it. Just a bunch of stills with text. However, this does not affect my feelings on the game or my anticipation of it.
a full CGI "Pixar-Like" Mario Bros. film (with DK, Bowser, and Wario all serving as protagonists)
a live action Metroid film (hopefully directed by Ridley Scott himself, and staring Charlize Theron)
a live action Legend of Zelda mini-series (it doesn't have to follow Link, but it could follow someone who is trying to follow in his footsteps, and Link is only shown in fight scenes, so we never do hear him speak)
You should probably remove Deadpool from your list of Marvel films, since it wasn't Marvel's film studios that produced it. Fox owns the film rights to the X-Men and their fellow mutants (including Deadpool), and are the sole producers behind the core X-Men films and their spinoffs.

They also need to ditch the car asap.

What are they saying? It will be required to have the patch to play online OR it will be required to be connected to the net to play the game?
Please please please tell me it's the first one!

Re: Nintendo is Getting Into the Movie Business
I'd love to see these 3 become films:
Mario Bros: a 3D animated film with Mario and Luigi on their quest to rescue Peach and Daisy from Bowser and DK (with DK turning on Bowser in the end). Wario and Waluigi could have a side story with their quest to get their own film (a little 4th wall breaking there).

Re: Launching NX Next Year Is The "Proper" Thing To Do, Says Nintendo Boss Tatsumi Kimishima
I can understand his reasoning for all of this.
I just don't understand the lack of NX at E3 (what I view as incredibly stupid and frustrating move) and the delay of Zelda (which hurts and pisses me off).
Re: Reaction: Nintendo Shakes Up E3 With No NX and a Focus on Legend of Zelda
This is all insane and extremely disappointing. I normally defend Nintendo's ideas and decisions ... but how can I defend this?
This is the dumbest move Nintendo has made in years!

Re: Nintendo NX Will Be Launched Globally in March 2017
Not being released until 2017? That's understandable.
No show at E3 after promising it for over a year? WHAT THE HECK IS WRONG WITH YOU?!?!?
Re: The Legend of Zelda Wii U Has Been Pushed Back to 2017, Will Release On NX As Well
I am so angry with Nintendo now!!! There have been many delays of their games as of late. However, this delay really really really hurts!!!
It feels like they are saying, "**** You Wii U Owners!"
I have never been more upset with Nintendo than right now!!!

@NewAdvent The game isn't a remake of Star Fox 64, but the story is essentially the same. Hence the whole ZERO in the title.
Think of it more as a reboot.
