@darkswabber — I feel ya. Never got into his Let's Play videos years back, what with the screaming, but I recall the hubbub around his poor judgment (or lack of judgment) for those...speechy occasions, though I never delved deep into coverage on the matters. However, my boyfriend started me watching his newer stuff (around the time of the beard) in the past half year or so, and while I don't think Felix and my frames of mind and humors overlap as well as I'd prefer, I overall think he's not "a bad person". Seems with all the backlash that's occurred, it's led him to step down from the abundance of works he'd been involved in, and I think that's been good for his state of mind.
But, if he keeps %^$&ing up like he had in the not-so-distant past, I'll still decry his detriments to any communities affected.
While thebthumbnail had me reeling that again I'd likely side with Pearl AGAIN on Raphael (though Leonardo's a close call for me), glad to see I'll be on the donatello side for the second round.
Been on my Wii U's Wii Mode lately, catching up on my last-ditch WiiWare buys, so I'll be sure to reenable access to Ninty's servers to nab this beaut.
If I hadn't backed the Kickstarter and already got the Vita physical release, this'd be a right chuff birthday treat...but I'm still tempted toward that art booklet.
Dag nabbit, Ninty, I wanna side with Marina more often. The popcorn one is obviously Pearl's (though I most enjoy cheesy), and in Murrika I'd more readily follow along with baseballing (though I agree basketball would be better than either, and NOA missed out for dunking on Pearl's height!).
I guess right now, it may be the Drakengard 3 novella released with the collector's editions of the game (and most of its contents on its website, at least for North America). Provides even further context beyond what the game or even its Prologue DLC chapters present.
This game inspires so many feels, highs and lows, in such sync between the game and player. As Mother's Basement put it, where many games you care about the characters, Undertale's characters care about you. That sentiment doesn't even need any fourth-wall shenanigans to ring true, as I was right there in the moments, just as pumped up, contemplated, or outright heartbroken as the characters themselves. I'd played through orating everything, putting my abyssal acting chops into dialogue delivery, and by the end I'd found my voice wavering with these emotions.
Definitely, don't look up anything past gameplay descriptions (EarthBound JRPG combat structure with shoot-'em-up attack dodging), as everything in this masterwork serves to harmonize the experience.
These archivers are gods among gamers! After PlayStation Home bit the dust, the impending death of my second sweet child got me down all over again. Now, if but the Wii U hackers could divert Miiverse fubctions toward this Archiverse, so we may have some legacy displays.
While I don't trust Konami to do anything viable, I have had these games – Castlevania in particular – on my shortlist of WiiWare to buy before closure. Would be nice to get confirmation before March.
So after making my Pocket Camp character look like me, I can now look like my character with that first Animal Crossing case. (They hold up smartphones when accessing some menus.)
I've got the case included in the Splatoon 2 bundle (with the pink & green JoyCons) from the U.S., but for the life of me can't figure what this flap in it is aboot outside of the bit of it for holding game cards.
Saw that graphic style, and I die smiling at how Capcom, the death of Mega Man, robbed the corpse of Mighty No. 9 and restored the life its Kickstarter sucked out of it! For all the crap this bizarro year's thrown at us, at least this much can bring light to muh day.
Love the late-80s coulour scheme of that Pro Controller. With Best Buy's Gamers Club discount, CE comes at about $85 USD, but the controller's not available for in-store pickup or the GCU discount. Wouldn't wanna suddenly get a charge if I can't make the scratch by the time it's due, y'know?
What would kill me for Chrono Trigger and Final Fantasy "III" is the recirculation of the oldest scripts rather than the revisions from the DS/GBA ports. And then Final Fantasy "II"...that one's just not right, as we first got it.
@kreen But then, I don't identify as female, and went to painfully cumbersome lengths to get my avatars juuust right in PlayStation Home, but 'til the servers were brought down did I default to my distaff and her thick turtleneck sweater with flared pants.
Wowow, what kinda deep minutae does this game's plot and characterization employ that it's an agenda for devs to think it kinda neat to add in alternate sprites in a remake of an old little romp? Oh, the title? Judge a book by its cover, I'm sure. To preempt when they include a robot swap, lemme know the state of AI resistance, eh?
Also: Yay for my lack of wherewithal to skim past BotW spoils! (What are these timescales?!)
I could see there being confusion over which auto-saves belong to a given save slot, bit in that case, just have us select the save slot, then display the manual and auto-saves for thay slot. Accepting a wholly offline game like BotW to have only one save, particularly in an age of speedrunning, is anti-consumer, and I hope Nintendo catches wind of that sentiment.
Haven't read all the comments to see if this was corrected, but I do remember this being in the presentation. It was sandwiched into a string of trailers and wasn't talked up independently, but I'm certain I watched it during broadcast.
...But for the game itself, can we get aaaany of these updates to MK8 vanilla? I'm not sure what position I'mma be in to get a Switch soon, but gotta get me some OG Splatoon love on the system from whence it arose.
@Tsurii All IIRC, the main Mother 3 translator was Clyde Mandalin (sp?), who had been prominent at Starman.net, currently curates the long-running Legends of Localization, and is a professional translator to boot.
I'm feeling burned on the implication this is Switch-exclusive, but I would love to see then announce this for Wii U to tie it to a Cross-Buy/Backwards Compatibility initiative, such that all NNID-based Virtual console purchases will grant you the Switch copies at no extra charge (or, more cynically, buy Mother 3 before launch to get it free for Switch; afterwards, standard $2 or whatever price if owned on a last-gen system).
@Mahe Didn't this piece literarily pay lip service to Axiom Verge making use of the Game Pad's screen? I get there's Cross-Buy (but not Cross-Save?!), trophies, and PS4's social options on Sony systems, but for the game itself, is the Wii U not even that incrementally greater for it?
@tedko Affordable Space Adventures is a game set for couch co-op. I doubt I'd want to play it on my own, but drag an onlooker into an in-game duty (I handled guidance while my sibling handled systems; if I could drag her into it, I'd like to get my parent on lights), and part of the engagement is coordination.
Any multiplatform game which makes noted use of the Wii U's (and 3DS's) dual screens gets my respect. Just a shame we don't see even that much care set to using a PS Vita as a Game Pad of sorts for the PS4.
