The legacy he has left. The people he has made happy. The people he has helped. I hope everyone sits down to just play a game that he developed. Anything that has his worthy name. Kirby's Dreamland, anyone? R.I.P. Satoru Iwata.
This looks ABSOLUTELY AMAZING!!! Come on you guys, just because it's an adventure game inspired by Zelda doesn't mean it's a clone/rip-off. By that logic, DKC is just a Mario clone with stronger gravity on DK. Give the game a (seemingly well-deserved in my opinion) chance before you write it off. It looks like a really solid effort. I hope it comes to Wii U/3DS though...
So... is this basically an RPG with the illusion of movement doing anything? I want to get this game if the gameplay is kinda like Monster Hunter in that you can dodge attacks, aim your shots, and actually hit the enemy yourself rather than just surfing the menus like in EVERY OTHER RPG. It seems more like you just choose an attack and the game hits the monsters/animals for you...
I feel that at $19.99, you're essentially paying for the game twice or at least close to twice as I thought this would be about $10-$15 just for the Wii U version. I'm taking into consideration that its a download only title and the fact that the past two M&DK downloads are around $10 each... My opinion though as my experience with the DSiware game (similar to this new game) wasn't that fun for me (at least recently)...
Dat Slowpoke theme doe... I actually really like the music of the "Kawaii" themes (which is why I got the black and white polka-dots theme a while back), but I have NO IDEA why Nintendo decided to put relatively scary Mario enemies as part of the cute themes... THEY NEED TO MAKE A DISCO BOO THEME!!!!! It would have boos dancing in a club with the same music that SPOILERS played in the Paper Mario: Sticker Star disco boos fight! I WOULD SOOOOO BUY THAT!!!!
Wait... If you have to get both smash games before November 13 for the sound track cd, then nobody will be able to get outside of reviewers... (Take the hint)...
I still need to know what they do in other games before I jump on board. Also, how many games they'll be compatible with. I don't really care much for the figurine part of it as I do for the DLC that each of them offers.
I passed on Mario Kart 8 due to not having anything fresh or new but passing up on riding in the worlds of or riding as characters from F-Zero, Animal Crossing, Excite Bike, and The Legend of Zelda is TOO MUCH to pass up... I'M GETTING MK8 IN NOVEMBER!!! ....If the packs have enough new/revamped tracks on them as well. I've owned every Mario Kart so old tracks would really have to be revamped to matter to me.
Sorry Capcom, unless if you just now realized they infringed your patent, it's too late to intercept Koei's (and other companies for that matter) Uno in my opinion.
I really liked the difficulty of the first one because it had me and my cousin on our serious gamer modes when playing it but I'm wondering if the difficulty slider allows you to slide it up to original levels or higher...
I think I'll pass on all the amiibos if they don't really do anything for the games supported that makes them worthwhile... I'll need to know more how amiibo works in Smash also factoring costs of each amiibo.
@Hero-of-WiiU If you haven't played DK returns yet, I'd probably get that one but Game & Wario could be great with more than 3 people. I haven't tried returns 3D, but I've heard that the framerate is better on Wii and I also haven't tried NES Remix to give an opinion...
Can anyone help me out, please? I don't know what to get... Dillon's Rolling Western, Earthbound, or a retail game to sell... REMEMBER EVERYBODY, they're bonuses for buying the games you were gonna buy anyways! If you're buying it for Club N, well then you're not exactly doing it the best way in my opinion...
@Luigifan141
Toon Link is driving the train in the spirit tracks stage but is replaced by alfonzo if he's chosen to fight so let's not count out Cranky Kong just yet.
@Mus1cLov3r Happy Birthday, bro! They should give you Mario Party 2 for free for this special day. (kidding ) Not a bad idea to break out the M party though.
I'll see what I can do to get Paper Mario this month (not enough coins... for now).
If anybody is wondering whether or not Kid Icarus is good, it's a hard platformer that has shooting elements and I really liked it enough to play it to the end. Why don't you give it a chance? (I played the 3D classics version).
Am I the only one that actually likes singing along to the songs at the end? This was a good mini-series but it still didn't convince me on getting the game... Even the demo didn't make it seem worth the asking price... I hope that there are other mini-series in the future as they're pretty cool (from what I've seen outta this one).
Near the beginning of the video, "...why can't it be called Game Boy Girl?" Ay yai yai...
I think Trevor was the kid that thought you were supposed to build your way up in Tetris? XD
!!! Anybody else notice Bowser's shell!? 0_0
My brother got Luigi today and let me have one of the stickers it came with. I didn't really see the figure that good though to be honest.
