Oh well, at least NMH has enough chance to make a name for itself before moving to another console. But I have a 360 anyway, so it's not like it's gonna affect me at all.
I saw the video on the Nintendo Channel, and it didn't really grab me at all. As much as I like playing with water, I'll be saving my moneys for Onslaught.
"Do a M rated Shadow the Hedghog game sega! (I'm requesting this out of morbid curiosity of course)"
Two words: HELL NO!!
Great to hear that Sega hasn't succumbed to mundane Minigame collections just yet. And this thread reminds me that I still need to buy HotD and Madworld. I fell ashamed that I haven't played them yet.
@Wiiloveit. If it also lets you shove Shadow and Chip from Sonic Unleashed off a cliff, I'm sold! XD
Whatever. I wasn't gonna buy the Wii version anyway. Like pretty much all multiconsole games on Wii, it was probably gonna look like s**t and be inferior to the original. I'm getting it for 360.
@Shpydar. Exactly! This is Tim Schafer people, the guy who made Escape from Monkey Island, Day of the Tentacle, and Psychonauts! I personally think the game looks very unique and awesome! And to everyone complaining about Jack Black, I hate him too, but it's only his voice, and it's not like it's gonna ruin the actual gameplay or anything.
Maybe I'll get Water Warfare sometime down the line, but otherwise this is yet another week of no downloads from me. It looks like the miserable days of summer are coming in again.
I don't know, I'm still on the fence about this game. It looks kinda fun, and the music is infectious, but I think I'll give it a rent first, or wait till it's cheap.
If you ask me, an 8 seems like the perfect score for this, maybe even a 7. I've never been much of a fan of the 3D Zeldas (always preferred the 2D ones), but I found this game to be particularly mediocre. The art direction was nice (if a bit creepy at times), but it had way too much brown in it. It didn't play much differently than every other 3D Zelda in history, and many of it's "new" features were gussied-up versions of those found in older games (twilight realm=dark world, clawshot=hookshot), and the game felt just plain dull. I just recently dug the game out again after not playing it in months when I got lost in the Gerudo Desert. I just can't get into it again.
But I give it a 7, cuz the Wiimote controls worked well and were fun to use, and the minigames were fun.
Also, what took so long to get a review of this out?
@Redflicky. I'm pretty sure he was being sarcastic...
@LEGEND MARIOID. Don't EVEN compare this game to SMB3.
@Maxime. In terms of play control, I totally agree with you. Melee's controls were simply perfect. The combat was fast-paced and every move could be pulled off without a hitch. SSB64, as limited and dated as it is, had pretty good control too, even if it had to be played with that annoying N64 controller. I haven't played it much though, so I can't critique it any further. Brawl's combat sucks though, with floaty, touchy controls (very noticeable when you're getting butchered in online matches), a single jump was pretty much worthless, many moves could only be useful with perfect timing (Falcon's turbo knee being a fine example), and then there's the aforementioned tripping. What were they thinking when they put that in? If other fighters like Street Fighter II had tripping, there'd be a lot more pissed-off fighting fans in the world.
One thing i didn't like about Melee was the lack of consecutive air dodging. You could only air-dodge once before your character became immobile and dropped to the ground, and you couldn't dodge an enemy's multiple attacks, so if you're facing someone who's really good, they could annihalate you with a string of strong attacks. Other than that, they were flawless.
In terms of stage design, I'd have to say Brawl gets the top spot. It's stages were very well-designed and had a ton of action going on in them, which I liked. I know some people hate that, but it added a new layer of excitement to the combat. The original's were just drab and boring.
I love reading reviews on bad games. You guys should review more terrible games. I'm with Indigo, I'd love to see a top 20 worst games list from one of you guys!
According to the review, this sounds like a mix between Lostwinds and Klonoa, which is definitely a good thing in my book. It's not the second coming of Kid Icarus like I hoped, but I'm saving points for this nonetheless.
Seems like a fair score. This is still a decent game and all, but it hasn't aged that well, and it's completely inferior to the rest of the series. Still give it a download when it hits shop over here though. I can then play the whole series on my Wii!
The fact that it still exists and that there's an idea of it's release date is enough to make me happy. I'm too busy anticipating Metroid: Other M and Mario Galaxy 2 anyway.
@People who think this conference was a disappointment. WHAT THE HELL DO YOU PEOPLE WANT!?!?
@Caliko. Fanboys are always finding something to complain about. That's why they're fanboys. Nintendo could buy back Rare and they still bitch about it.
Pretty good conference if you ask me. It sucks not to hear more details about Zelda Wii or Sin & Punishment 2, but I like what I see. New Mario Galaxy and new (assumedly 2D) Metroid? HEEEELZ YEEEAAAH!!

Re: Cave Story Nearing The Finish Line
EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE I can't wait any longer for this! Especially since I couldn't get the original to work on my computer! I got points saved!
Re: Top 20 DSiWare Games in USA (2nd July)
@Corbie. But I thought you loved all those clocks.
Mighty Flip Champs and the Art Styles should be higher! This is outrage! >: (
Re: New Wii Zelda Won't Be Radically Different, Says Miyamoto
There goes my hopes for things like RPG elements and alternate weapons.
Oh well. As long as they make the atmosphere less dull and boring than TP, I'll be happy. But even if they don't I'll probably still buy it anyway.

@Mickey. "How the heck would that work!?!?"
It's a bazooka that blasts water, duh!
Re: 5 Spots Party Coming to Europe July 10th
I'd rather use my $5 to light a grill...
Re: MadWorld Soundtrack Gets A North America Digital Release
Why spend $10 on this when I can get it for free by buying the actual game?
Re: Top 20 WiiWare Games in USA (1st July)
Little late saying this, but... Thank GOD something managed to knock WoG and Tetris Party out of the top 3!
Re: Carnival King Coming to WiiWare
I actually think the game looks pretty good. I love shooting gallery-style games. Will get it as long as it's cheap.

Re: GameStop's Muramasa Pre-Order Bonus Is Simply Marvelous
Usually I don't care about art books for games, but a game like this screams for one. I'm pre-ordering for sure!

So even the supposedly superior arcade version is no good these days. Tsk tsk...

Re: Review: Knights in the Nightmare (DS)
I played the demo of this off the Nintendo Channel, and it was awesome! Definitely a game I'm looking forward to.

Don't take it so hard, guys. Remember, he starred in The Cystal Skull and Transformers.
Also, why are my gaming skills so pathetic?
Re: Nintendo Download: Drill Sergeants, Puzzles, Golf, Art Styles and Planets (US)
Nothing for me this week. But I'm at least glad we got so many Wii games.

That's unfortunate. I didn't get into Rogue Squadron II, but a Wii Rogue Squadron would've been awesome.
Re: Official Bit Boy!! Game Play Trailer
@Wiiloveit. Calculon? Give a Wiiware game a chance? That's crazy talk!
This one's goin' on my radar. This just might be the first B+ game worth playing.
Re: Luigi WAS in Super Mario 64
At least he made it in Mario 64 DS.

No thanks. I'd rather get Disgaea: Afternoon of Darkness for the PSP.

Re: Review: The Munchables (Wii)
Definitely one for me to look out for. It combines 2 of my favorite Namco franchises, Katamari Damacy and Pac-Man.
Re: Interviews: Creat Studios to unleash Alien Havoc on DSiWare
Looks like a nice little throwback to old arcade games. I'll keep my eye on it.
Oh, and TENTH.

Oh god no. Team Ninja, PLEASE don't give Samus enhanced breast physics!
Re: Miyamoto: Why Pikmin 3 Was Absent From E3 This Year
@Radio Shadow. F-ZERO? Pfft...
The fact that it still exists and that there's an idea of it's release date is enough to make me happy. I'm too busy anticipating Metroid: Other M and Mario Galaxy 2 anyway.
Re: Tales Of Monkey Island coming to WiiWare
Definitely looking forward to this. I love point-and-click adventure games, and I've been wanting to play some of early classic ones.
Re: Classic Controller Pro Heading West?
This would make playing N64 games with the CC significantly easier, but I'm happy with my standard CC.

Why is this in the DS section?
Re: Konami Confirms Zephyr: Rise Of The Elements For WiiWare
