Re: Rumour: Yoshi 3DS, Super Mario 3D Land Demo and More

INTELLIGENT SYSTEMS has been quiet for way too long! I can't wait to hear from them again!
I, however, am NOT going to get my hopes up for a Fire Emblem reveal.
I know all about Murphy's Law, and the laws of reverse psychology, so I'm going to say that I really don't want a new Fire Emblem game.
Fire Emblem freakin' sucks, and should never get another entry into its series.
Nintendo is not going to reveal a new Fire Emblem game.
You saw it here first.

Re: Talking Point: The Great Nintendo 3DS Price Drop Debate

Robo-goose

What Nintendo needs to get this thing kicking is a much better advertisement strategy.

To the general public, the 3DS really does look like just another DS with a wider screen; people don't want to pay extra for something that has barely changed.

Nintendo needs to make commercials that pound the 3DS's capabilities into consumers heads.
I've had enough of those "This is sooo neat! Oooo, look at that 3D, oh wait, you can't! I guess I'll just wave this thing around like an idiot while you switch channels." commercials.

How often do you see 3DS advertisements?
I watch all of the commercials in between my shows, and I watch many different things on many different channels.
I've seen one 3DS commercial on TV, and no 3DS advertisements in magazines.
When Nintendo starts to advertise more, they'll probably get more sales.

Re: We Could See Inchworm Animation Come to 3DS

Robo-goose

Inchworm animation is really impressive, but it would be even more impressive if it had: the ability to select things in shapes other than rectangles, the ability to move something selected without copying it, the ability to zoom-out to go along with the ability to zoom-in, the ability to rotate selected areas, the ability to change the size of selected areas, everything that he mentioned, and many more things that I can't remember at the moment.
If all of those features were added, I'd be willing to pay 20 bucks for it.
The constraints of a five dollar app are cruel.

Re: Wii U "A Better Fit" for Valve's Development Model

Robo-goose

This. This right here. This made my day/week/life.
If Valve starts to make its games for the Wii U, then there's a chance that I won't be using a PC for gaming anymore.

EDIT: Never mind. I just remember how much Left For Dead sucked on the 360 when compared to the PC.
Mouse+keyboard=ten times better than any console's controllers.

Re: After 1980s Valet Parking Comes 1950s Lawn Mower Kids

@zordixAB
How about an exploration&adventure-based game where you sail around an ocean to different islands which you can explore?
The user would be given complete freedom of where to go, and the goal would be to become the greatest explorer/pirate/adventurer of all time (your class would be based on your actions).
You would find lost civilizations, new civilizations, busy towns, etc... , and some islands would be gigantic when compared to others. Randomly generated oceans would be ace, that way the islands would never be in the same places on different games.
The game could switch from a top-down ocean (while sailing) to a side scrolling platformer while on an island.
Lol, I only thought of all that because I was listening to this. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tKhEzVJQdxM

Re: Review: Donkey Kong (Game Boy)

Robo-goose

I actually found the gameboy cart for this earlier, and have been playing through it again. The controls and level design are much better than I remembered!
It really does deserve a 9-10, I am pleased with this review and score.

Re: Nintendo Not Interested in Producing Free-To-Play Software

Robo-goose

If you think that a game with as much depth as your standard Nintendo game should only cost 1$-6$ at launch, then shame on you. Seriously, I could by one burger with a drink and fries for six bucks. You're putting the value of Super Mario Galaxy at the same level as a cheaply made piece of junk food!

Re: Rumour: Wii U is 50% More Powerful Than PlayStation 3

Robo-goose

I was expecting the Wii U to be .5%-1% more powerful than the Pee-eS-Triple, so this is pretty big news. I just hope that Nintendo doesn't think that we only want good graphics in our gam-OH WAIT!!
Check out that fancy new controller! Whoa, did you see the way they used that sucker? That was cool!
Wait, they mentioned graphics in the press conference? I didn't even notice! They were completely focused on the way their new controller would change gameplay for the better!

I'm really glad to see that Nintendo is still putting gameplay on the forefront.
I thought they would just improve the graphics of the Wii and only use the classic controller pro (or something like that) for their next console.
I'm glad to be wrong!

Re: Sakurai Talks Connecting Smash Bros 3DS and Wii U

Robo-goose

However, for the first time in the series' history, Sakurai is aiming to leave character and gameplay balancing duties to other members of his team.

Will the Zelda characters be higher on the tier list now, and will metaknight be dumbed down? I really don't want Ganondorf to be made into a "good" character.

Re: This is the Wii U Controller in All Its Glory

Robo-goose

When I first saw the new controller, I immediately hated it.
I thought it looked retarded, but looks can be deceiving, and in this case, were!
So far, it looks like this controller is going to be amazingly great for gameplay. I can't wait to try it!
