Re: Review: Shantae And The Pirate's Curse (Wii U eShop)

@Ultra-64 I only played the second one to completion, but it just struck me as not very funny - the platforming is pretty tight, but in a world and with characters you don't like? Another issue I remember is the respawn time, which is pretty ludicrous. There's some backtracking, but even that wasn't very funny.
Of course, I havent played the newest one, I just feel I should balance out the hype so people arent dissappointed like I was.

To those of you unsure of whether to buy it, I bought the first two, and besides some nice pixel-art, expect no story (or a ludicrous one), and horrible characters. I'd say wait till its cheap - I haven't checked the price myself, but it cannot be worth full imo.

Re: Nintendo Highlights Great Games in a Rather Pretty Infographic

Bayonetta 1+2 isn't cheating, but X and Y is
And when you think about the fact that the most highly reviewed games from the other systems are remakes of games 1-2 years old, this packs an even greater punch.
I think maybe they should have only gone for the user-score - Lord knows DK nad 101 needs some love!

Re: Mario Kart 8 Still Competing in Nordic Region Charts, Tomodachi Life Never Has

Warbeard

I am from Denmark, and Tomodachi doesn't interest me in the slightest - it just doesn't look like a game to me. I didn't particularly enjoy Animal Crossing either, but maybe I don't understand it - is there something else to do than collect fossils and bugs to get your house bigger and stuff it full of doodads?

back to Tomodachi - it doesn't look like there's anything to do in it, not enough to warrant a purchase at any rate. I guess I'm not really representative of the rest of the Nordic Region though - the only game I have from that list is Mario Kart, but I can say that I am the only one I know of who own a Wii U. Sadly the dudebro-ness the list seems to indicate is quite quite true

Re: Video: Lana Brings Some Deadly Magic to Hyrule Warriors

Warbeard

I would have prefered an actual Zelda-character in the game - why make princess Zelda a warrior, then conjure up a generic-looking anime-chick for spellcasting? There were plenty of warriors in the games!
Gotta say, the anime-ness of her design and voice-acting/mannerism is offputting.
