Just remembered a game I loved that I never hear anyone talk about. KIng Arthur's World, SNES. Man I played the Heck out of that game but I'm probably in the minority of people who have played or liked it.
@Captain_Balko I have always disliked the DKC series of games. I quick polled my workplace and no one here liked them either, so Its not that odd really. I really like @CanisWolfred list he has. Some great games there.
@Ras I too have just recently played/owned my first Kirby game. Always thought I was to cool to play a game w/ a pink mascot, lol. Fun game although it doesnt wow me. My son is really enjoying them however.
Final Fantasy III (US). Only game I've ever played through more than 5 times. Plus I own the remakes as well. Just an amazing game, actually my favorite game of all time truth be told.
@zool I refuse to buy physical copies online, since it is very rare that it will help my local community. I find it is worth paying more to help any business's in my area open and profitable. Many of us are to narrowminded about our $$, and lose sight of the big picture. Keeping jobs in your community helps the community as a whole.
My home copy is set on classic normal. My work/away copy is on casual mode normal. I enjoy the casual mode a lot more than I thought, much more relaxing, lol.
@Peach64 I tend to agree with you about be a little dissapointed in the Guild_01 games. But on the otherhand, I love the fact that each game has a unique style or gameplay type. I applaud the efforts and the courage of Level 5 to help get these games created. I will support this next run as well, I don't want a gaming future w/ just stupid FPS and GTA style games.
I agree w/ the 3 previous statements as well, haha. Although truth be told, I actually dislike Bearshark. But as always, the more games the better for E-shop.
I just have to say that I 'm glad a new Zelda game is coming. I can't read the comments anymore. Nothing Nintendo does seems to please some people, even the ones who claim to be fans. This is to classic, not classic enough, should've gone completly new gameplay, should've stuck more to the original's. Sigh, just irritating.
I will be picking this up on my lunch. Good review, gald the MC score thing got fixed quickly. Like how on top of stuff people on this site are. @Tech101 I'm in the same boat as you, almost done w/ EOIV. Except I want to play my Fire Emblem I bought a while back 1st, lol.
Not a game I enjoy in the least. However, since it will make $$ for Nintendo and the Publisher, so that they may make more games, I'm glad to hear about this. Hope everyone enjoy's it when it comes out.
Liberation Maiden for me. Not my style game but at this $$ I am willing to support it. That way they hopefully bring other unique games to the Eshop as well. Already have Crimson Shroud, well worth the price in my opinion.
It's funny how I'm willing to gamble $100's at the casino, but not in investing anymore. The 86k I lost 5 years ago in stock really has made me cautious. Possibly in the future I'll be willing to go back into investing. I personally like this business model for generating new ip.
Love Nintendo, bought the Wii on launch day, barely ever played that system. Love my WiiU, love the gamepad, love traditional controls. I don't mind the motion stuff, but that isn't the core experience I want. I know lots of people who bought it and only played it at get togethers.
That is the only PS3 game I've put more than 10 hours in evre, and I bought PS3 at launch. If the ds version comes here I plan to buy 2 copies, one for both my 3ds's, lol.
@Dreamcaster-X Love your avatar. None of these games generate to much excitement from me, RR2 and Castlevania I may have picked up if they were available.
Not interested in these games so no big deal. Although the more games any console gets, the better. Although I must be 1 of the only people who thinks so, but games like GTA/Saints Row, are what I hate most about "popular" gaming, maybe moreso than crappy FPS sequel's. But what do I know, my friends consider me a non-gamer now because I don't play that trash.
Good lord the 3DS is really doing a # on my wallet this year. Been loving the Nintedo system games all year long. Just got my 1st 360 game in a while, Bioshock Infinite. Very dissapointed nothing like the original 2 in my opinion, and the new aspects add nothin to me.Thank goodness for Nintendo this year.
I was not planning to buy it digital but when someone mentioned how much simpler it would be to just load it when I want to play like 10 minutes, a light went on in my head. What a great idea. Plus I have no attachment to owning a physical copy of AC like I would a title like Etrian Odyssey IV. Thanks NL commentors for mention a great idea that makes plenty of sense.
@NodesforNoids Not sure if you meant the "Long Halloween"?? However, Hush would work well with the tone the series seems to represent. You could easily pull in many of Batman's rogue gallery w/ his general ability to create problems for the Dark Knight without always involving himself.
Also, maybe I will get around to playing one of the games in this series, since I've owned every version on 360 and the WiiU since they were released day 1. Odd since I have not missed an issue of Batman since 2002 that I can't get around to playing the games.
Not a Mega Man or FPS fan, but I thought it looked good. Would I have bought it, doubtful, but I actually did put a decent amount into the Metroid Prime games, and I dislike FPS's in general.
Wow long comment thread. Interesting interview. I am a definate fanboy, but I see where he is coming from. Nintendo really isn't for everyone, as with all things, but I think they will be fine overall. I am glad that he agreed to do this interview, it does increase my respect for him more than just a little.
I also rarely agreed with his reviews, or most critics really, but his opinions never really angered me like some do. I understood the reasoning behind his opinions even if they were contrary to my own. RIP.
@AbeVigoda I know that, I am huge comic collector and do not buy Marvel or support their franchises. I cancelled 28 title's the day the sale to Disney was announced. I made an exception and saw the latest Captain America movie. Cap holds a special place to me.
That is why I hate Disney. I am a huge fan of Star Wars, but I have decided that I will not support Disney, therefore I will no longer purchase licensed Star Wars products of any kind. Sucks, but I have many other things I enjoy.
Thats it I am immediately returning this game. I don't care how much I've enjoyed it up to this point. Nor do I care how many hours I've invested. Even though I just noticed this since I read the article, I can no longer enjoy this game. Unacceptable. Guess I'll play some Aliens: Colonial Marines, at least they have mostly normal feet.
Although I am no expert, generally speaking, publishers will only release games in a specific region if they are fairly certain to make them money. Atlus has lasted as long as they have by being fiscally frugal. Possbly they are just not sold on the overall audience in Europe/Australia. Anyway I hope they come to all regions so everyone can enjoy them.
