While I know Namco Bandai has a bit of a reputation for not localizing their games, Capcom and Sega usually give us the goods so please bring this here!
@Snaskyman Indeed. I love the fact that they included two different play styles to give us options, but it really adds massively to the replay value. I could first play through the game with the WiiMote, then again with the Game Pad. Something I hope other developers utilize.
I'm not much of an online gamer anyways and I hardly know anyone with the same taste in gaming as I do so I'm not really affected by a lack of online multiplayer or co-op. I'd much rather play locally with someone anyways.
Damn, only Pokemon Conquest is coming out this month. Rhythm Thief, Thearhythm, Kingdom Hearts 3D and Heroes of Ruin are all coming out in July DX, my poor bank account.
@hydeks Haha, I know what you mean, although I am fairly interested in trying out Pikmin 2 (since I want Pikmin 3 for the Wii U), the fact that DK Country returns is seeing a price drop is awesome. I want the game but its been way too expensive for me.
I would love to see a new Star Fox game. I remember being a kid and I LOVED playing Star Fox 64 at the store (because we never owned an N64). Plus Star Fox is really one of those series that would highly benefit from HD so I'm excited, especially to see if Nintendo will breathe new life into their other IPs.
I feel bad because I waited for this game and got the golden Wii mote and everything and I've hardly played it. I'm only on the 2nd field dungeon >< although I've been playing the hell out of Xenoblade
Ahh The Little King's Story, I was about to finish the game but had to stop because I had to return it >< Got it again but only started it but never continued, which I should soon :3
Playing the 2 games I've been playing for a while, The World Ends With You and Xenoblade: Chronicles.
It's not bargain, but I got The World Ends With You for about $16 and it's by far one of the best JRPGs I've played in a while, and one of the most creative.
@Mathieu_W The thing is, cost of producing the box, manual and disc are very minimal so if those were taken to account, I would say it would lower the price no more than $1 or $2. For the most part, the price of the game is mostly due to royalties like $20 goes to the company selling while $30 goes to the publisher, something like that. Also, if purchasing games digitally were to be marginally cheaper, it would seriously hurt retail purchases of hard copies. Buying retail games online, from what I'm aware of, is mainly for gamers who either don't care for hard copies or do not have access to stores that carry games or the game they want.
To be honest, I wasn't going to get a 3DS until sometime this year until I saw the limited edition Zelda version and that pretty much sold me in getting one so yeah, looks do play a part in selling a system. I would like a special looking Wii U so hopefully Nintendo does something like that.
@19Robb92 Only a few trailers have highlighted the multiplayer, for the most part, the single player campaign has been highlighted in nearly every trailer and shows an intense high action game.
I'm left handed but the problem is my 3DS has a case (in which I'd like to limit removal as much as possible so it doesn't break) and yeah, a Circle Pad pro won't fit on it. BUT being slightly able to use my right hand, I might as well get used to using my right hand ><
OMG, GIMMIE GIMMIE! Hmm, I hope they don't release it until next year over here :3 I is super broke so I don't think I'll be completely back on track until January DX
Ugh, 4 Wii games that I REALLY want. Last year it was 3 (Kirby's Epic Yarn, Sonic Colors, and Donkey Kong Country Returns) but I only got the first 2 (waiting on DK price to drop ). Need to save up for the 4 >< along with a few other games.
Remember the original name for the Wii was the Nintendo Revolution (although it did create a revolution in gaming) so yeah, same with Kinect which was originally Project Natal. I think putting the word "Project" in any name is obviously something to call it by before the actual name is revealed.
I can't wait. I last played Tales of Versperia on the 360 and wasted 2 weeks of my life on it (haha). Now I'm willing to waste a few more weeks on this.
