I can't see myself using a console for streaming purposes and even if I did I'd use Youtube. For someone who likes to listen thru stereo system this could be nice.
I can relate. I was once a music reporter and when I found myself in the basement of a club interviewing people I knew from the music they did... it was bizarre. I felt like a sad fanboy but I was also a semi-professional reporter that night. It was bizarre.
I have this on my phone. It's a nice game but the controls are not the best. I want to see the screen but I also need to cover it with my fingers all the time. Oh, how I hate smart phone controls.
3DS and Wii U versions could possibly be great though. Combining touch screen and button controls.
Oh dear. The complexity! But I'm ready. I have chosen not to get into Fallout 4 or any other time-consuming game just to give this game all the time I got. The postal services are on strike right now so I might not get the game on time though I guess few more days won't end my life.
It's so weird that a game like this is coming out on Wii U and PS4 of all platforms. I seriously thought the Wii U version will be cancelled. If it's at least decent according to reviews I'll probably get it sooner or later. It's like Doom meets Zombi U.
I can't wait for Xenoblade but otherwise this holiday is pathetic. Nintendo is obviously having too much changes and stuff going on. I really hope they don't go down the road of shovelware and useless mobile apps. A full AC game on Wii U would actually sell a couple of consoles and sell well but no. Amiibo Festival it is.
As a kid I didn't have much of a standard but I remember playing some Bubsy game with my uncle on his Atari Jaguar (!) and realising that a videogame can also be bad. Really bad. That was a first.
"I'm an adult and I need to be able to control the breast size of the fictional characters I see on MY flatscreen."
As a 30-year-old I've passed the "boooobiieesss!" phase so I'm not bothered in the slightest. Just wanted to comment before all the "censored!!!" stuff.
I'm glad that it really makes a difference. Fast travel is handy and those packs really seem to cut the loading times. I have plenty of space and decent wifi so downloading for sure.
@GloverMist I know what you mean and I'm being cautious about it. I was overwhelmed when I started to understand how much stuff there was in the original but slowly started to digest it. I'm up for the challenge but, yeah... it's going to be a tough first few hours.
I went to check the dates and this was actually on the front page of pegi.info. And yes, it is today. Not sure if I'm interested though. Too much good stuff coming up to care about an old sandbox game I guess. I'm still happy for the ones looking forward to this. Gamepad is probably nice with this.
Also, NL is mainly a news site and this is a great piece of news. If this is a spoiler to you, think again. If the title said "HUGE SPOILER INSIDE", you would still read it, wouldn't you
Hype level about 6 but I'm forcing it down to around 2-3 'cause stuff like Directs have the tendency to be somewhat anti-climactic. Still gonna watch and hope some cool stuff pops out.
I think this is my second day-one purchase this year. I'm slightly worried about the story though. I heard there is not much of it. It certainly seems the emphasis is on the overworld and combat.
Congrats! NL is the only gaming site I follow regularly, thanks to interesting articles and friendly fans in this community. And those tag lines of course!
So far I'm loving the game. Sure you visit a lot of familiar places but I don't mind since the environments are kinda cool in general.
(Btw, I increased the camera sensitivity (not the obscura one, the game camera) and it made the controls a lot better. You can also open doors with ZR which I find better than A button)
Nintendo will do fine in the mobile market and that's fine by me. I just hope they will step up their game on consoles. They seriously need a steady stream of first party titles, especially when the third party support is this non-existent.
The discounted price is reasonable so I think I'll try this out. I'm a seasoned horror gamer so I don't expect anything special though. But I guess it's good for those panicky feels I sometimes need
I'm probably gonna start over Lone Survivor. Expert difficulty is slightly annoying. Project Zero will arrive when it arrives and RE Revelations for 10 euros is a no-brainer.
One of my all-time favorites! Revelations is also discounted so now is a good time to check out some of the best games in the series. I recommend both.
That's somewhere between funny and disturbing which happens to be my comfort zone. Mandeer, oh boy... I'm sad for all those generations that missed these times. Mandeer... that does sound creepy.
I need to switch to bigger SD card but I'm defo gonna get this once it's available in europe! A decent price for a change. Was a huge fan of the original and its successor.
This is a classy decision which I aplaud. Those costumes were immature and kinda bothering me. The Zelda and Samus costumes are still ridiculous but I guess I'll have to deal with it. There are plenty of that kinda games if you're interested in polygon curves. They shouldn't ruin this kind of games with tacky filth.
Ouch, this is getting worse reviews than I ever considered possible. I still have time left to make up my mind about my pre-order. I know I'm gonna enjoy it to an extent but not sure if worth full price.
Seems kinda short alright. I've been playing Rollers of the realm and it's really entertaining. It's an adventure-rpg-pinball. Sounds weird but better than expected.
That zero suit is not out-of-place at all... Yeah, I will probably see how they look but will definitely be playing with the less ridiculous outfits on.
I played this on DS some years ago. It was enjoyable but featured some illogical puzzles. But point 'n click fans already expect that so go ahead if the genre is your cup of tea. I'd be interested in the sequels.
What exactly was the "damage" he did? The party was cancelled and no money was made. This backfired big time. Good job, Pokemon company. I bet your own "damage" will be way more than lousy 4000 bucks.

Re: 17 Games Get North American eShop Discounts in the Winter Warm-Up Sale
Is StarFox 64 3D a Selects title only in europe? The retail version is 20 euros here so even that sale price is pretty high.
Re: SEGA Reveals the Logo for Sonic the Hedgehog's 25th Anniversary
I really can't say which is my favorite: Sonic 2 or Sonic & Knuckles. Both precious to me. I should get the Mega drive collection for my 360.
Re: Feature: A Year in Development - Shin'en Multimedia
I've been in gamer heaven this month. Xenoblade and this and I feel like I'm 7 years old and just found the joy of video games! Thanks guys!

Re: Video: Check Out the Super Mario Bros. 3 Port That Never Was
Looks kinda awful to be honest. I hated that kind of PC graphics and the controls seem really off. Yuck!
Re: Ten Hours of Maintenance on the Way for the Nintendo Network
It sure would be nice to stay connected while playing Xeno. People are complaining so it's probably not on my end.
Re: Gone Home is No Longer on its Way to the Wii U eShop
I already played it on PC. It was really good, but like some pointed out it's not really a game and has very little replay value.
Re: SteamWorld Heist Will Have Over 100 Weapons and Nearly 100 Hats
I kinda want this but XCX and Fast Racing are already on the table ready to be devoured. Maybe later :/

Re: Nintendo Smartens Up For "Super Moschino" Collection Of Shirts, Sweaters And Accessories
I do not know the brand but I assume this is quite cool. I'd definitely want some well made and classy Nintendo gear but I haven't seen much of that.
Re: Terraria Digs Its Way Into the 3DS eShop on 10th December

Do you play with one character only or can you switch to any character in your team like in Xenoblade Chronicles?

Re: Toki Tori 3D Confirmed to be Hatching on 5th November
I have this on Wii U. Not that 2 euros is a bad price but a cross-buy discount would make me double-dip. Just sayin...

Re: Aonuma Talks the Legend of Zelda's 30th Anniversary, Working as Fast as Possible on Zelda U
I don't mind a delay or two, I just want it on Wii U. Hey that rhymed!
If the rumours are true NX will be an expensive machine and I already bought one console to play a new Zelda. And we know how that has been...
Re: Review: VoxelMaker (Wii U eShop)

Re: Slender: The Arrival Will be Creeping Out Wii U Owners in North America on 22nd October
I might just download this. I tried the demo on Xbox 360 and wasn't sold but on Wii U... Maybe after Project Zero V. If it's an awful port then no.
Re: Nintendo Has "Moved On" From Game Boy Games on the 3DS Virtual Console
Game boy games haven't aged well at all so it's not a big deal. The screen ratio alone makes the games almost unplayable.

@MadAdam81 I guess that makes sense in the petty and disgusting corporate world. Good for them.
Re: The Pokémon Company Sues Fan for Copyright Infringement, Demands $4,000 in Damages
What exactly was the "damage" he did? The party was cancelled and no money was made. This backfired big time. Good job, Pokemon company. I bet your own "damage" will be way more than lousy 4000 bucks.
