I would have liked Amazon Pandora or Phosphora, considering all of the Kid Icarus content in the game.
I never understood the fascination people have with Dragon Ball stuff.
For some more unique characters, I would like Bub and Bob from Bubble Bobble. Ideally they would be together like the Ice Climbers, but separately would be just fine.
I worry about Metal Gear without Kojima, however I would be happy if they make a sequel to Rising/Revengence. It more or less did its own thing anyway so it doesn't need to have the dense storytelling of the other Metal Gear games.
Hard to say. They shut down the online form of MGS 4 fairly early into the PS3's life cycle. Which was too bad because it was a lot of fun. I wish I had played more of it while it existed.
Not if you are a member of the Master Race, where modders fix any bugs within the first few days, and release mods to not make the game itself so vanilla.
Xenoblade should be great, but I am sad because it has no Melia.
They should have just called it something completely different since it has nothing to do with the original. The same thing happened with Red Steel and Red Steel 2. They are just trying to market it based on name recognition. This new game would stand alone just fine without the similar title.
Nintendo should give us some reassurance and grab Hideo Kojima. Give him a studio, and tell him to make anything via an exclusive Nintendo contract. Especially now that the rumor of Konami tanking their console game production is in the news again.
Considering I own the Anthology that came out on Gamecube that has Megaman 1-8, as well as the two Power Battles arcade games, I see zero reason to buy this.
Why leave out 7 and 8? Or 9 and 10 for that matter?
Yea I had an Athlon XP, then a Dual core, and now I still am using a Phenom II Quad core because I'm still waiting for the next gen to come out before I upgrade again. Considering it still runs everything out there today without issue, I haven't been in a hurry to move to an 8-core, or one of Intel's offerings.
It always pleased me that AMD processors generally love to be overclocked as well.
It's just my personal view (and the view of common sense) that if Nintendo is going to release another new system, it should out perform the current ones. Playing catch up to be even with the current offerings, or only slightly exceed them, isn't a good business proposal considering by only making something similar to what the competition has, there's less incentive to buy it. Especially when a lot of people feel burned on the fact that they got Wii U systems that are basically going to be abandoned once the NX arrives.
@blackice85 It's always been a back and forth game for the top between AMD and Intel. Right now Intel makes the best performing processors, but AMD has previously held the top spot a few times during different generations.
Their main benefit is they are always less expensive than Intel processors are.
The unfortunate thing about this news is that I had heard that they are going to use a CPU/GPU integrated chip which would be terrible since it would immediately imply "underpowered" or at the very most "competitive" with current tech on ps4 and Microsoft. This is Nintendo's chance to get ahead, and if they only play catch up with technology this will be a wasted effort.
I don't see how I'm missing the point based on your technicality. The fact of the matter is it was still a new area to uncover, with new enemies and new drops. "Recycled content" or not that's still 200+ more rooms to handle which is more content, period.
Now, if they offer these 1600 rooms, and then invert those, it will be fantastic.
"With 1,600 rooms, the game will be way bigger in scope than Castlevania: Symphony of the Night, which featured a total of 942 rooms (not including the inverted castle!)."
That's the trick right there. NOT counting the inverted Castle, which basically was an entirely new experience. That would have been 1884 rooms in the original SoTN if you count that.
Though I'll still be more than happy with this game, I'm sure.
Sony and Microsoft won't be releasing a new console for a long time. This is the chance for Nintendo to make something more powerful and stay on top for years to come.
Not taking advantage of this fact would just be foolish on their part.
If you don't get what I'm talking about then you clearly don't play on a 3DS. You can't simply just "add a friend" on Animal crossing for example. You have to meet on the island, exchange your codes, then input the codes, turn the game back on, open your gates, and hopefully the person will come over. Then you can add them as a friend in game. Way more complicated than it really needs to be.
We all know Nintendo makes it as difficult as possible to make friends outside of people you know in real life.
In animal crossing for example, I made a custom design that has my friend code in it, tell people to visit my dream address (which we are allowed to share) and once they see what I've done, they follow suit, and we are able to get each other's friend codes.
The moderators from what I've seen are just too often removing posts for even a microscopic infraction that really harms no one.
I had seen a post in the Hyrule Warriors forums that someone had posted Cia's massive cleavage. Someone made a comment about a boner which was ok by Miiverse standards apparently, but my comment about the game being rated E for Erection was somehow more offensive than "boner talk" and gets removed. The logic behind some of their actions really is mind boggling.
I would hardly call the gyro/analog setup perfect. In theory it makes sense, but Splatoon for example, the gyro only seems to control one axis of movement for some bizarre reason.
Who cares, I say. Another COD game running on the Quake 3 engine, using the same sounds, same guns, same exact gameplay, and same lack of a physics engine.
I was thinking something completely different when I opened this link for "multiplayer"
Anyone who played Harmony of Despair probably knows what I was thinking. That game was a lot of fun. It's unfortunate that players seem to be harder and harder to come by.
I had two disconnections. I assume if one person disconnects, everyone disconnects.
If that is the case, I have to ask why some people don't get with the times and use a wired connection. Wireless will always be garbage and unreliable, especially when compared to a wired connection. If I could have a wired connection for my 3DS while I'm at home, I would love to do that, though obviously that isn't an option.
I still find it stupid that they call these "esports" when they aren't a sport. ZeRo is a 125lb beanpole, he is hardly what one would call an "athlete"
Competition, sure. But the whole term "esport" is just stupid and wrong.
I remember the Wizard. One thing that really pissed me off is that Mario 3, which "had never been seen or played before" was the final game, and the kid somehow knows to hold down on the white block to find the magic whistle. IT WAS BS!
There is a vast untapped library of games that need to come over. I understand that some of them have licensing issues, like Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves for NES. But that game was actually very good!
Secret of Mana needs to make it's way to the WiiU VC, as I hate having to change over to Wii mode to play it. I don't think Secret of Evermore ever made it to the Wii VC either, but it should have, even if it isn't anywhere near as good as Mana was and had lots of bugs to boot.
I really want to see Snake again because I am a huge metal gear fan, and he was a fun character in smash.
However, since this is Sakurai, I think the odds of getting Amazon Pandora or Phosphora would be better, and I'd love to see them, especially Amazon Pandora.
Interesting news on Bravely Second, except for one key thing. We know that three of the main characters from the first game will be returning in some form or another, but the greatest of them all has not yet been confirmed as returning.
Yea but her town fruit wasn't cherries, so she had to go chemo.
Though if anyone cares, there is a program called VICE on HBO which just kicked off this season with a new form of cancer treatment, which basically involves infecting the cancer with another disease to kill it. Very interesting stuff. And it is actually being done today. It isn't a treatment, it is basically a cure.
I do want to play this again, but I think I'd rather start a new game + with all the gear and stuff I have from my prior playthrough on the Wii version.
Ideally, I wanted to use Dolphin to play it on PC. The game looks incredible on PC, though Dophin isn't perfect yet and I can't get the configuration for Xenoblade just right yet to make it playable. But those vast enviorments animated on a PC screen look so much better than the Wii version, it isn't funny (and they looked great on the Wii version as it was)
So the 9th dungeon in the first Zelda, which is Ganons, which is the biggest dungeon in the game...doesn't count because it's Ganons...real smart there, buddy. I didn't count the Wind Fish egg in Link's awakening because it isn't a dungeon.
So it was far more accurate than your childish and incorrect comments. No need to get all mad and start crying.
You are welcome to point out any other imaginary inconsistencies, but it doesn't void the fact that WW and MM only had four real dungeons.
The only complaint I have about MM was it's length. Yea you can go on and on about sidequests and all that nonsense, but at the end of the day there were only four dungeons. I felt the same way about Wind Waker. Both were fun, but lacking in meaningful content.

Re: Eiji Aonuma Reveals More Information About the Development of The Legend of Zelda: Majora’s Mask
Memory my friend!
I recently replayed both the original two NES games, so it was fresh in my mind.
Lttp was easy because I remembered 3 pendants, then seven sages, plus ganon's tower.
Same deal with OoT.
I had played Link's awakening many times, and also, 8 instruments.
Same with the other two GB ones, which I also played recently.
Twilight I had to look up because I didn't remember. And I forgot to mention Minish Cap.
Skyward I never beat because my Wii mote sensor couldn't figure out that I was trying to raise my sword over my head, so I gave up.
Re: Eiji Aonuma Reveals More Information About the Development of The Legend of Zelda: Majora’s Mask

AoL NES - 7 Dungeons
L's A GB - 8 Dungeons
OoA GB - 9 Dungeons
OoS GB - 9 Dungeons
LttP SNES - 11 Dungeons
OoT N64 - 14 Dungeons

You get the basic idea. Too short.
