I love Oceanhorn! It's extremely fun on my GPD XD android gaming tablet, I'm playing it right now. I want to play Oceanhorn 2 on the Nintendo Switch so I guess I'll have to rebuy Oceanhorn 1 on the NS even if I don't play it.
Glad to see Xenoblade Chronicles X get a well deserved nomination since it came out a few days after the last Game Awards show last year & hence didn't get a nomination then which was disappointing.
Huh? I don't get what the fuss is about. He used the word poo in the title of his levels & had "all" 6 of his levels deleted? That's really not that many. Just make some new ones & not use the word 'poo'? Not a big deal.
They could've included wiimote controls, it didn't have to be an either wiimote or gamepad decision. Especially since their so-called reasoning is because they wanted to include a map in front of the player at all times & yet they enabled the pro controller to work with the game. I was kinda looking forward to playing TP in HD while slashing at enemies with my wiimote. Pressing the button to attack after experiencing the wiimote motion controls for swordplay is kinda boring...
That's a darn shame. Hasn't been a single Two Tribes game I haven't loved & enjoyed greatly. I think Toki Tori 2 is my favourite which I bought at launch & loved. No hand holding & you have everything you need (toki tori's actions) to beat the game right from the start. Sad news indeed.
It's even worse when you know how easily these games are emulated on phones or PCs. Nintendo are almost punishing those who don't emulate by making the price so high per game. Sure you could say that they're doing that to compensate for the so-called loss they get from those who emulate, but the reality is they can & would still charge a high price even if there were no emulators out there. They're only thinking of the direct amount they can earn from every purchase & trying to get the most out of each one, rather than realising they would earn more in the long run if they incentivise people by making the VC consumer friendly in a Netflix-like subscription service. $10/month for access to Nintendo's current library of retro games (& with the promise to have more added in the future) would earn them soooo much money in the long run & I think would lessen the illegal side of emulation by being so cheap & convenient that users would just fork out the $10 instead of dealing with sub-par emulators, downloading ROMs & figuring out the right settings to get them to work.
I'm getting this as soon as I can afford it. I really enjoyed the first one despite it dragging on a bit towards the end. I just love the mashups of all these awesome characters in one game. Can't wait!
They made the ROMs for DS & 3DS game carts? I guess they're making the ROMs for NX game carts too then. At least, the handheld part of NX will use carts, maybe the home console part uses discs? Weird.
My favourite shmups are definitely the Sin & Punishment games, though I haven't played or finished many shmups admittedly. Also Gunstar Heroes, is another favourite of mine, made by Treasure too.
Personally I get all hyped up for their games which then get released in the US but since we don't get them close to the same time in Europe I just get disappointed & forget about the games & look forward to other stuff.
I like the idea of MK7 custom tracks but no cars on this track make this custom mod lame imo. Should've chosen a track that didn't need obstacle cars in it.
I usually download all my games but with Xenoblade X being such a big download & my internet speed being slow I decided to buy it at retail. Plus I couldn't resist preordering the Limited Edition
I'm going to try to buy it before the discount arrives as this game deserves the monies. I haven't been able to afford it until probably next week sometime but I've been wanting this game for agessss. So I'll buy it before the discount then wait until the new update arrives to play the game.
It's looking really great on that video! Greatly improved since it was shown at E3 I think. It feels like there's a lot more feedback to the player, something I thought was missing at the E3 demo. Like the camera shaking whenever you hit the ground is an awesome touch. Could've been there in the E3 demo, I can't remember, but it all around just feels better to watch! Can't wait to play it
What a beautiful story! One of the best love stories ever!! Congratulations to the both of you! Too bad he didn't know you can see the 'recently versed players' list under the friends list & use that to view people's miiverse profiles but I'm very glad he remembered to search with the spaces & found her anyway. Definitely meant to be! Heck yes for Mario Kart! Best racing game/series ever! I remember those glorious MK Wii days too! Sooo much fun! I can't really remember any regulars but it was certainly tons of fun until the cheaters turned up! Played hundreds of hours online Congratulations again & have a happy life together!
I was on the fence about this game until I played the demo myself but now I'm super hyped about the game. I appreciate the review but for me the frustration aspect of trying to communicate what to do with strangers is part of the fun. If this had voice chat it would be super boring. Just flat out telling people what to do to solve the puzzles would get far more tiresome than using the character emoticons, in my opinion. Looking forward to Friday night
I presume he has no business experience but Tsubasa Sakaguchi (co-director of Splatoon) for President of Nintendo! He's just a total badass! He should at least do the future Nintendo Directs Such a cool guy!
