I'm gonna vote with my wallet and stay away from this game. Too much weird and yucky sexual crap for me, even if they're optional and not a big part of the game. (if that makes me an ignorant gaijin-westaboo, then so be it)
@-Godot "The conspiracy theorist guy "does it" with Q*bert so... Yup." ...What? EEEWWWWWWW!!!!! Any tiny inclination I may have had to still go see this movie, despite my better judgement, has been completely and utterly destroyed! Thanks for the warning. You're my new best friend.
Looks like Rakoo wants to get some tail. (ba dum tish) With that out of my system, I think this looks like it could be fun, (especially with multiplayer) and I bet I'd pick it up for the right price. @TruenoGT The only one I can think of off the top of my head is the upcoming Runbow.
A decent week for Wii U owners, but just terrible for 3DS owners. (unless you really wanted one of those discounts or the Etrian Odyssey theme) Oh well, I was planning to get Ace Attorney Trilogy this week, anyway.
Pretty cool!
I wish they didn't have that "humanoids only" rule, 'cause I was really hoping for a duo of Red & Elh from SolaToRobo, (published by Bandai Namco in Japan, and same developers as .hack) or at least the return of the Klonoa & Gantz duo from Namco X Capcom.
Oh, well; I'll take "closest-thing-this-game's-gonna-get-to-an-anthro" Felicia as consolation. (not that I wasn't excited for her already)
Does the delay until October have anything to do with ensuring a good Amiibo supply? If so, then that's fine by me, because I REALLY want that yarn Amiibo as soon as the game comes out.
Like a kid in a candy store! (EDIT: Somehow didn't realize that was already the tagline. Oops!) Even more excited for Star Fox Zero now.
@dumedum Simpsons characters? Now that's something I wanna see!
And another thing: If someone's not satisfied with how Nintendo's been handling things and wants to switch to another platform, that's entirely their call to make, and I won't act like they're a horrible person for doing so. After all, in the grand scheme of things, which games we enjoy and which companies we choose to support really isn't a big deal. @Senario Yeah, they'd have to actively try to be worse than that E3.
C'mon, guys! We're still getting Yoshi's Wooly World, Mario & Luigi Paper Jam, Zelda U, Devil's Third, Fatal Frame, Rodea The Sky Soldier, Legend of Kay Anniversary, etc., etc. Just because Nintendo made the mistake of showing off all the wrong games in their press conference, you guys are all acting like these spin-offs you dislike are all we have to look forward to this year; and I honestly believe you ought to be ashamed of yourselves. Not for being critical of Nintendo, not for wanting something different, not even for being unwilling to give these new games a chance; but for letting your emotions get the best of you, and for giving in to angry-mob syndrome when it frankly isn't warranted.
@Superryanworld @project_dolphin I'm sorry. I admit I was being unfair. What I said was no better than when people say Wii U's "just a kiddie console".
@Kaze_Memaryu I hope so! I would buy Guilty Gear Xrd on Wii U day one! So far, Arc's been treating the current Nintendo systems as the dumping grounds for their budget titles, rushed ports, and lousy spin-offs. That needs to change.
They can have their crummy old rehashed CoD! The reason many of us own a Wii U is because the other consoles are practically brown-and-gray-fps machines.
EDIT: That wasn't very fair of me to say. I'm sorry.
@TheRealThanos Also, is he serious about comparing street gangs to The Civil Rights Movement? Yeah, street gangs are to The Civil Rights Movement, what Westboro Baptist Church is to Christianity. (that is, they're a jon snowized off-shoot so far removed from what the original stood for that they're practically opposites)
But, hey, are we talking about video games here, or socio-political issues?
@camerica1618 I suppose by "people with a sense of humor" you actually mean "people who find humor in nonsense and pretentiousness". Seriously, your comment sounds just like something a Seth MacFarlane/Irate Gamer defender would say.
@Samwise7 Well, first of all, that was Capcom, not Konami. Second, since U.N. Squadron is based on an anime, they'd have to renew the license for it; which they either might not be able to do, or don't think it would be worth it. I'd buy it day one if they did, though, because that's one of my favorite SNES shooters.
Game Theory just needs to die already! It used to be cool, but nowadays it's nothing but poorly researched "oh-so-shocking-and-controversial" crap and FNAF fanboy-ing. TrailerDrake's and Gaijin Goombah's stuff are the only things worth watching on that channel anymore. (even then, I just subscribe to their personal channels) @Onion851 Tell me about it!
@RegalSin "I just hope this is not going to be another Banjo and more like an Conker." It could end up being a little of both, in terms of gameplay. (just don't hold your breath for the inclusion of gross-out humor, crude language, and movie parodies XD)
@TwilightAngel Why should they want to support a game that, as it currently stands, is only coming to consoles they don't own? (and wouldn't buy just for one game)
Seems pretty clear to me a Wii U port's gonna be a stretch goal, and I didn't really want another Metroidvania, anyway. Would get it on Steam if I was interested and the Wii U goal wasn't met.
Don't get me wrong, I like the existing Metroidvania games, and stuff like Guacamelee, but I'm really yearning for the return of Classicvania.
An emphasis on both speed and exploration? Reminds me of a certain hedgehog I know! After playing and enjoying Ninja Battle Heroes, I'm glad to see Tom Create put out another gem.
@MikeLove Not to mention Comix Zone would benefit from an added Easy Mode. Fun game, but way too hard as it is. (as long as they don't make Easy Mode too easy, like 3D Ecco The Dolphin)
Outside of the Mario Kart and Smash Bros. DLC, (and perhaps Mario Kart DS, for those who'd want it) this is a pretty weak week.
Oh, well. (plays Meteos and Godzilla Unleashed that I just got from GameStop)

Re: Dragon Ball Z: Extreme Butoden
A Dragon Ball Z game for 3DS, which is also a brand new fighting game for 3DS! That's a win-win in my book.

There've been good Peanuts games before, especially the Snoopy Flying Ace ones, so I'll be as least mildly optimistic for this one.

Re: Ronimo Games Explains Pricing for Swords & Soldiers II
