Since the game is so cheap, I wonder if it's going to be episodic or something. The visuals look pretty great for a 3DS game, seems like it could have been a full priced game.
Wow, so much salt in the comments. I think VR is here to stay imo. It's not going to completely overtake the way we play games anytime soon, but I think it's going to be a seperate category of games. Sure, the Oculus is expensive, but the first generation of things are always expensive.
Damn, so much salt in the comments. I'm gonna get this because Wii U is the only console I have, plus I'll be able to play online with my Miiverse friends and in split-screen with my siblings. I'm happy Minecraft is finally being released on the Wii U!
@Einherjar What I'm trying to say is that Yacht Club Games can pull it off. The people who work there have experience and talent. They're not some small indie developer trying to make a 'retro' looking game without having any idea of what the limitations of old games actually were and what made the sprites from old games look so good. They have talented sprite artists who know what they're doing.
@Miiamoto I agree. I wish they were more like The Lego Movie, where everything was made out of lego and none of the characters had stretchy limbs and all that.
@Einherjar I'm sure Yacht Club games can pull it off. After all, many of the people there also worked on the Shantae games (as well as many other sprite based games) and they look really good, although they're not 16 bit.
@gatorboi352 Nintendoland shows off the gamepad's functionality better than Super Mario Maker in my opinion. It actually uses the motion controls and camera while SMM only uses the touchscreen and buttons.
Damn, why is everyone so angry over something small like this. The developers are just showing that you can recreate other games in Disney Infinity, and someone else is going to make a Splatoon clone anyway so I don't get the big fuss. You can't copyright game mechanics and Nintendo didn't invent the word 'Squid'.
@kokirii "Rebirth is a 2D roguelike dungeon crawler, which means that whenever you die it's back to the first floor of the dungeon to do it all over again"
It's explained in the review itself, although googling will help with understanding it better.
Jeez, the hate Call of Duty gets is incredible. Sure, they come out every year and aren't very original, but they're really solid games. The campaign in Black Ops 2 was awesome.
@Prof_Clayton What's wrong with pitching games to other, bigger companies? Developers do this all the time, not just Renegade Kid. They're not whining about Konami not accepting the offer or anything. They pitched, Konami respectfully declined, it became its own game. Doesn't seem like they 'think they're all that'.
Damn, some of the people here need to calm down. If you don't like the game, don't buy it then, you don't need complain about the game's existence to everyone. As for me, I'll be getting the Wii U version the moment it comes out and once I get a New 3DS, the 3DS version as well! It's such a fun game.
I REALLY hate living in Australia...
We get to miss out on great games like Cave Story, Shantae: Risky's Revenge, Retro City Rampage, Nano Assault EX, Mighty Milkyway, 99bullets, etc. Plus the fact that the games cost 50% more... and the internet here is slow as heck so I can never join online games...

@zool What does the NX or Playstation have to do with this?
Re: Editorial: Game Localisation Isn't Just About Preserving The 'Pure' Original
Honestly I'm more annoyed with the arguments about censorship than the "censored" things themselves.
Re: Hatsune Miku: Project MIRAI DX
I haven't played the Diva games so I can't speak for them, but this game is absolutely fantastic. It's quickly becoming my most played 3DS game.
Re: Random: Beware Cuteness Overload With This Dancing Hatsune Miku Nendoroid
@FlameRunnerFast "Only 2 games" but those two games are the whole Bayonetta series.
Re: Undertale Creator Open To Nintendo Port, But Wouldn't Be Able To Code It Himself
If the game does come to Wii U, I wonder how the... stuff... that happens near the end of the game will work.

I'm still looking forward to Project Giant Robot, I hope it doesn't get cancelled.

Re: Minecraft Has Become the Ninth Best-Selling Game on the Japanese eShop
And people said it wouldn't sell well on the Wii U.
Re: Video: Check Out the Super Mario Bros. 3 Port That Never Was
Someone needs to remake these levels in Super Mario Maker now.

Yeah, sure.
Re: COLOR BOMBS Will Splat Onto the North American Wii U eShop on 22nd October
@shani You do know that 'splat' is a common word that everyone can use, right? It's not trademarked by Nintendo and doesn't just belong to Splatoon.

Re: Super Mario Maker Tops The Charts In Japan, Causes Wii U Sales To Double
@BinaryFragger Any console could sell more successfully if their top games were launch titles. It takes time to make a good game you know.

@OorWullie A good game doesn't need to sell on hype.

@MrBecker That's just how Nendoroid figures are.
Re: Review: WarioWare Twisted! (GBA)
When I saw this, I thought it was on the eShop and got excited...
I really hope this game does get released on the eShop.
Re: Exclusive: We Almost Got A Wii U F-Zero Created By Burnout Studio Criterion
At least Most Wanted turned out to be a really good game. It's a shame the Wii U version sold so poorly.
Re: Skylanders Superchargers Racing Coming To Wii And 3DS, But Activision Won't Say Exactly What It Is
@BarryDunne Yeah, maybe like an open world game where you play as a cop or something.

Re: Bloodstained Is Officially Kickstarter's Most Successful Video Game Campaign
@HollywoodHogan My thoughts exactly.
Re: Yup, Call Of Duty: Black Ops 3 Is Definitely Skipping Wii U
Jeez, the hate Call of Duty gets is incredible. Sure, they come out every year and aren't very original, but they're really solid games. The campaign in Black Ops 2 was awesome.

Re: Review: Pokémon Rumble World (3DS eShop)
@BieberBlows Not really the same thing but Pokken Fighters is coming out soon and that looks like a really cool 3rd person fighting game.
Re: Xenoblade Chronicles X Will Use Downloadable Data Packs To Expedite Loading Times
@StarDust4Ever You want the game to have have low quality models, terrible sound and textures that look like horrible JPEGs?
Re: A Splash of New Details Emerge on Splatoon's Development and Inspiration
@Butt Black Ops 2 has LAN play, so the Wii U can definitely support it.

@OneBagTravel It's an arranged soundtrack, which means that it's made with real instruments and a real choir.
Re: Monster Hunter 4 Ultimate Expo Banner Raises Questions With Wii U Logo
