Also now that you say the game seems haunting. I kind of want to make a terrible game where it's story is about a developer that was haunted by some demon and is forced to make a terrible game, but actually make a deep experience that's fun at the same time.

@Spoony_Tech I think the news lady did the part rather well considering.

Oh wow the Slowpoke one is just too perfect.

For once I want Nintendo to be the last one to jump on board with a gimmick. If anything they can watch how the tech grows an release a superior product down the line if the fad doesn't die.

It'd actually be funny if Nintendo was the one with the traditional console and MS and Sony go to gimmicky stuff.

@rjejr Contrary to that I seem to remember a lot of empty schedules at the end of the Wii's life cycle. I think the Wii was a super fad that everyone wanted to jump on which is why there is so many games for it. Unfortunately the Wii U isn't so on board. But I own about 30-40 Wii U games and I can say out of those I don't think there is a single flop in the bunch. So I'm happy with the Wii U's library. The only unfortunate thing is there is so few games that actually utilize the Wii U to it's full potential like Nintendo Land did.

I'm a strange person. I hate that Star Fox forces gamepad controls into it. But I love games like Nintendo Land that use the gamepad so well. Maybe it's how I feel about solo experiences versus party ones.

I hope with whatever mobile games they make they also offer a release to the 3DS or something.

I don't know why you guys are bashing the two Project games. Nintendo Land's minigames were originally projects themselves and we got an party game out of that. I really hope the two project games are a Nintendo Land 2.

There's absolutely no reason for a new smash bros. The latest version is perfect. I could definitely see a definitive edition coming out though. All they could really do is add more stages character and features.

I've been playing smash online every night for awhile now and I never run into these maintenance schedules. I wonder why.

Pokken isn't too surprising. It's already being played in tournaments in Japan. I believe I saw Justin Wong (a prominent Street Fighter/Marvel Vs. Capcom player) in one of those tournaments as well. So it's quite possible that the fighting game community has had their hands on the the game already, at least in it's arcade form.

As a database administrator, it's common to get requests to write quick queries that will automatically set things based on certain logic.

A walmart webmaster probably went to a DBA and asked him to take everything that had the word "shovel" in it and put it in the gardening category.

Of course that's just a thought.

Looks nice. I like their stuff a lot.

Especially like the remix of Krystal's Theme from Star Fox Command.

Kill it with fire!

I dunno, i guess I could warm up to it if the humor is right. It's neat to see Pokemon expanding a bit though.

Shoulda slipped in that they have Pokken Tournament coming out at the very least. I would think that the casual tv watcher will see that and not be the least bit curious about what it means.

On the other hand it might hit some nostalgia for those that haven't heard or touched a Pokemon game in awhile, they may wonder why Lucario looks so weird and look it up.

Those look like some absolutely tuckered out kitties.

But the game itself didn't run in 60fps...Or so I thought? I don't remember it having a consistent framerate in quite a few spots.

@HyperSonicEXE I mean they already remade the game for the PSN. But if I remember right it wasn't so great.

The song in the first level is pretty underwhelming IMO. It just sounds like someone doing a guitar solo the whole time. Needs a little more dynamic in it.

I was so hoping they'd do this. Also yes! Puyo Puyo! I love me some Puyo Puyo. Wish we'd get those games over here more often.

Arcade puzzle games are such a thing of the past unfortunately. :<

I vote for a comparison of Metal Gear Solid The Twin Snakes

I own Zack and Wiki already and never tried it. It's the collector's curse.

Taito has always been one of my favorite retro game developers. I'm sad I don't see them much anymore. Arkanoid, Bubble Bobble, Bust-A-Move, Darius, and Space Invaders are all such excellent arcade experiences that are super easy and fun to pick up and play.

If any of you have an opportunity to pick up Space Invaders Extreme 1&2 for the DS I highly recommend it.

It looks like it has potential and I love shmups. But I wonder if we'll get a demo...

I'm excited for this game. Looks like it could be a lot of fun to play with my wife.

@DTFaux The thing is, now the dev has exposure because everyone likes a thing he is working on. If he gets the cease and desist, he can open whatever other project he was working on the to eyes of his now attentive audience.

At least that's what I would do.

Inb4 ESPN eSports dedicated channel and extra 75$ season ticket get them.

I'm suprised no one has really gone as far as to clone the Subspace Emissary portion of Smash. That would be the best way to go about these movie tie-ins. So you still have a mild single player experience that reflects the movie. But the real fun is in the multiplayer.

It's sad that these are usually either rushed to release or have too small a budget to really fine tune the engine that it's using, otherwise we'd probably have a lot of fun Smash alternatives to head to. Like Playstation All Stars, a good concept that's squandered due to the lack of attention to detail.

@Comboman77 Well hey-o fellow round rock/georgetown -er

@Churchy Well I prefer the air.

@MasterWario I've never been there. They've just sent my company christmas cards. It has their logo on it decked out with christmas lights. It was neat. Maybe I'll see if our receptionist still has it.

@Churchy @Vee_Flames @Gerbwmu

Ok I'll report my findings at the end of the weekend that I will have totally not made up in any way shape or form.

But seriously I've always wanted to go in there. I hear there is a replica of Samus's gunship.

I work near Retro Studios headquarters. Our company gets christmas cards from their company. Should i sneak over there and check out what they are up to?

Seeing it overheard like that makes me question the credentials of any architect in the Pokemon world. It's like designed to be a game or something.

Oh wait...

4 out of 6 are Mario games. It's no wonder he's still Nintendo's mascot.

I dunno why people are complaining about the lack of story mode. Go play Street Fighter, there is no story mode to be had aside from a few cutscenes at the beginning and end of a arcade playthrough. There isn't really many fighting games with full fledge story aside from Injustice or one of the Arc System Works games. I mean unless all the fighting games I've played haven't really been the right ones.

I like that Zant is not shown on either box art. But you clearly get a look at Ganondorf, who was more of a behind the scenes villain until the end I thought.

I mean it's possible they increased it in order to avoid hassles during debug and they plan to return it to the original later. But I guess why wouldn't they increase it to 9999 then.

I wonder if they'd have copies of Wild Guns too.

You know it'd be neat if Nintendo asked EA to make a new SimCity game like the old SNES one. The Wii U or 3DS is really prime real estate for a game like that with their touch functionality.

Braixen should be neato.

By the way which Pokemon has the ra japanese character in it then?

I loved the first game on the DS. But every game after that felt really bland. They weren't terrible it was just kind of eh. Maybe it's because the levels were designed with multiplayer in mind so single player isn't that great.

@Broosh To be honest I wouldn't hate it. That game would've been good if it wasn't so broken.

I know there is a ton of potential for a good Sonic game, Sonic is such a good concept from a game design standpoint. And the story and characters are iconic. There should really be nothing holding SEGA back from making the series anything less than excellent. We can only hope they've learned their lesson and can put out a product that's awesome. After all, Sonic Team has had the better part of 2 years to work on it.

I will be a very sad gamer if Sonic ever fades into obscurity like his fellow blue mascot Mega Man.

Why am I digging this awful midi music.

That said, I like the interface ok. I'm always sad when people don't play around with interfaces more because it's really fun to make a super active interface.

The comics are something I've enjoyed the most out of the series. I wouldn't mind a game about it, I mean the writers are already there.

Mega Man Theatrhythm. Think about it.

As much as it annoys me with how many times it has been done. Sonic needs another proper reboot. Get all the bad stuff behind him (again). And for goodness sake make a finished game! I like the ideas in Lost World alright, give the player control over his speed, but fix the parkour mechanics and bring a more open-ish world like the Sonic Adventure series. Perhaps maybe the gameplay of the next Sonic should take what they have learned from Lost World and Unleashed styles and combine them.

I won't be terribly bothered by whatever story is spat out with it. Although, with as ridiculous as it is, I will always have some heart for the Adventure series' story.

I would hate for this game to release without some sort of Eeveelution

I find it interesting that the slogan is still in english in japan. Guess they want that branding to be worldwide.

I could just go to japan and ask where the nearest "i'm lovin' it" is I guess. Although I wouldn't have to since it seems the name is still english too.

Then again it's called Macca's in Australia or something like that.

I like how the pot looks more like a honeypot from Winnie the Pooh then a pot from ALBW. Although I suppose it's similar to the ones' in Link's house.
