@RyanSilberman No, that's the one button runner. This one was, as far as I can remember, either multiplayer or very blocky or something kind of cool. But I cannot remember even the basic details in a way that would help me track it down. One vague memory I have of it was a spacy background to a blocky side-scrolling ... something. LOL I just seem to remember it was Japanese and hell, I may not even have been playing it on one of my systems. It may have been someone else's hacked console and import title. I just remember it was either Gamecube era or Wii era and was kind of neat.
I feel like I played something like this on the Wii at one point. I'm fairly sure it was a Japanese game, but it may not have been... And I have no clue what the title was. I just remember it was a strange running game.
I will never be a fan of that Flash-esque aesthetics. Or cheesy mobile bounciness. However you want to phrase it. I'd take pixel art any day over that style.
Meanwhile I got mine kicked in by a piece of trash from the ghetto during the 6th grade and no one gave a damn. (Classic Gameboy, he kicked my backpack and actually managed to nail the screen. My childhood was poop, lol.)
I am surprised that SquareEnix is the one taking this game design route of returning to Pixal graphics as a mainstream publisher. I really would think Nintendo would be the first to embrace it. Unfortunately, I'm not sure SqE is doing a good enough job with this approach, or at least the fact that their primary genre is RPG games will inhibit the success of those design choices.
Meanwhile, I would love a Super Mario Bros 3 style Mario with 200 levels and a ton of environments and creativity.
@NickFalk I think that if people were all as offended about penises as the internet leads us to believe, we wouldn't HAVE any children anymore. So yes, I will think of the children. By thinking this sort of thing should not be so "OH NO!".
Anyone who has never played the original Spelunker (back when it was relevant in gaming) or at the very least watched the various parodies and memes involving it, really has no business approaching this title and trying to rate it. Spelunker is, in a modern sense, something that makes fun of itself.
Still hoping you do a Korok guide with the info I sent you folks. I've seen way too many people saying they've only found like, 50 Koroks. And are beating the game. >.>
@JHDK I'd like for them to make something similar to my guide. It's more important to understand HOW to find Koroks than it is to be told all of their exact locations except for a 100% cleanup. I found over 2/3's all on my own which was very satisfying.
That.... that was exactly the answer I needed to solve a mystery. YEY! It wasn't giving the direct answer, but rather reminding me that you can ride other large animals like bears. Heh heh.
I made the Bumpie's Party comparison blatantly on here several times following the announcement, so, yeah, good to see that being mentioned. I still think the price is too high, though.
50-level arcade story mode. Basic battle modes. Nothing revolutionary like the Bomberman on the N64. Nah. $30 was the price that would push the game. $50 will sit on shelves except for those who buy it because they are bored.
So, octopath as in, many paths? I would like to see a well done non-linear game that wasn't a chore. One I remember from my childhood was Ephemeral Phantasia. If it didn't have a music-game component, I might have enjoyed that one moreso.
Oh my god, what are you doing?? Oh my god, what are you doing?? Oh my god, what are you doing?? Oh my god, what are you doing?? Oh my god, what are you doing?? Oh my god, what are you doing?? Oh my god, what are you doing?? ......
@OorWullie Right. You're using blind fanboy logic. I'm using developer cost logic. Pound per penny, the cost for the game you want versus the game I want (Rail-shooter vs Story-driven ANYTHING) is drastically different. Zero has weird stuff in it because they're trying to minimize developer costs and have you do things that don't just burn through original content or completely rehash existing material. Rails just aren't feasible in the modern high-graphics design environment.
I'm sorry but I personally really enjoyed Assault, as well as Adventures. It was stuff like Command and these constant 'reboots'/'remakes' that are frustrating to me.
I think it's about time that Star Fox "Fans" admit that the old SNES game does not translate well into modern gameplay and they have to learn to like more than railshooting for the series to amount to ANYTHING. Stop munching 'Memberberries and let the game and its world evolve.
I wonder how much my Super Trainer Showdown gold medal would be worth if I sold it. I wish they had given out a better prize than a jacket I didn't take care of and a medal. No scholarship, no unique card like this, nothing. :X
@PleaseUnderstan Well crap. Got a Torrent to that stuff? I've got hard copies of most of it but it'd be awesome to have that around on the computer for future nostalgia. >
