I'm late to the game, but if anyone wants a taste of what we might be getting, read Warren Ellis' Moon Knight comic book run. It's violent, it's gothic, which makes Ellis the best writer for a Castlevania series.
Oh man, doesn't everyone just miss how high quality comics were in the 90s? Everyone was shiny, brooding, ripped, had no feet, covered in pouches, and had huge guns. Notice me, based Liefeld!!!
Happy birthday, and RIP Castlevania. Was and still is one of my favorite game series. Thank god Koji Igarashi is making Bloodstained, at least someone tries, Konami.
It's only worth something if someone buys it. Honestly, if you really want to play the Legend of Zelda II, there are plenty of options available for $5.00. If someone wants to buy it for an inflated price, first off, they're probably another collector, and it's completely their decision to buy it. No one is forcing their hand on this, no one is compelled to collect anything. This seems like a fairly pointless article.
@A01 Did you read the article? No where did it say this would replace the 3DS, in fact, Nintendo has said the 3DS won't be going anywhere for a while. The gamepad would simply offer a way to play your console games on the go, much like the Vita does for the PS4. Stop shouting doom and gloom over something you don't understand.
@DoctorOverbuild They've only proved that it is kind of possible. Warioware works because it's small enough to fit in the allotted memory for DSiWare. Any games much larger than that would be too large.
@Dakt Say what you will about other randomly generated games, but most roguelikes are randomly generated, and The Binding of Isaac happens to be one of the best roguelikes ever. I wouldn't makesuch an ignorant statement, since you know nothing about the game.
I'm seeing things I like from both series, and I do plan on getting this game if it gets localized, but this game is really Japanese, even for a "SMT" game. I just don't see it doing to well in NA and EU, even I'm struggling with the J-Pop aspect of it.
So what's the goal of collecting rupees in this game. In Four Swords, you get special medals if you collect the most. Is there a practical use in this game for them (at least that we know of)?
@Jayvir Starbound is cooler in concept imo, but Terraria is really way better. It's finished, for one. On top of that there are hundreds of hours of gameplay to be had in one play through, with multiple different routes of progression. Starbound can be finished in less than two hours.
@KJ85 Those are all very nit-picky. The levels are short. Oh well. And if you play it off of a hard-drive, of course it is going to be slower. That's what happens when you use a hard-drive. It is better that it skips a few frames than take 2 minutes to load.
@grumblebuzzz You clearly don't understand the effort put into this game. It's not about graphics. It's the story, character development, the narrator, the music. The graphics exist purely to make a physical representation of those.
@Dave24 The game came out last year on all the other consoles. That means the people who really wanted it would have bought it on other consoles. Which leads to poor sales and Ubisoft blaming that on us the consumer.

Re: This New Artwork For Netflix's Castlevania Series Sure Does Look Familiar
Warren Ellis is writing the show, I have full confidence in the series.
Re: Random: The Joy-Con Dog Sticker Kickstarter Has Been Successfully Funded
@Rhaoulos that's fair, but this is four dollars, an extremely low risk item, with the final product already complete.

Re: The First Rule Of Punch Club On 3DS Is You Don't Talk About Punch Club On 3DS
I don't know if it was on purpose, but that trailer made the game look really boring.

This is huge! I was starting to become unsure of its localization, but it is Final-ly here!

...And Atlus may not have another birthday if SMT IV Final and Persona 5 don't get released soon. Your fans are getting impatient, Atlus!

This reminds me so much of The Little Panda Fighter, possibly one of the worst movies of all time.

Re: Nintendo Announces a Pokémon Direct to Get the Celebrations Started
It's not like I wanted news on Shin Megami Tensei IV: Final or anything...
Re: Nnooo Announces Legend of Kusakari for the 3DS eShop
This game is clearly a parody. I mean, it looks like Legend of Zelda, but you can only cut grass. The music is supposed to be goofy and off kilter.
Re: Random: Ronda Rousey "Always Wanted To Be Samus"
I for one would give her a chance. The Rock, Dave Bautista and John Cena have all acted in pretty excellent roles. Don't write someone off right away.
Re: Review: Goosebumps: The Game (3DS)
@whodatninja Not nearly as much as the DSiWare shop had though. Quality control has gone up a bit.

Re: Video: Get on the Starting Blocks With Mario & Sonic at the Rio 2016 Olympic Games Footage
Looks pretty fun, but that amiibo support literally looks pay to win. I'm not liking that.
Re: More People In Japan Saw Yo-Kai Watch The Movie 2 Than Star Wars: The Force Awakens Over The Last Weekend
Eh, Star Wars is already over $500,000,000 so I doubt they are too worried.

Re: Random: Turok Remaster on PC Opts for a Prehistoric Look
That audio is atrocious, I realize it is just a remaster, but quality is so low, I won't buy it just because of that.
Re: Video: This Terraria Launch Trailer Goes for the Silent Treatment
I don't know how people have never heard of this game before. It will be just fine. The missing music is just a goof in the trailer.

Did they consider that some of these might just be color palette swaps? Some the examples felt like a stretch.
Re: Review: Chronus Arc (3DS eShop)
A little bit disappointing, considering the only "traditional" RPG on the 3DS is Bravely Default.

Re: CoroCoro Magazine Posts More Images Of Mysterious New Pokémon
