@Ryu_Niiyama I agree that it is simpler to understand (IV's and EV's aren't exactly an easy system for their 'key demographic' to understand) but the grinding for all that candy must be unreal. IV's and EV's at least mean that my Pidgey feels different from their Pidgey, not all Pidgeys should be the same.
@Giygas_95 I will miss trophies too, the problem I think is that the direct linked the lack of trophies to the spirits, to me spirits are just upgraded stickers, and trophies are just cut altogether.
That's my head canon, and it hurts a little. Trophies were fun to just sit and browse through while the music was playing.
Personally I'd love a school RPG ala Persona, where we could be our own character with a quirk all our own, we'd have to plan out our time between physical training, quirk training, regular studies, classes, an social life. So much of the anime is only about the fights, I want to see what these hero classes are like, and what they do after school.
Nobody plays Monster Hunter for the plot we play it for the game-play. Without the game-play what are we left with? A direct-to-dvd sci-fi monster film, only with a bigger budget.
@Dr_Corndog We also need to work out what a '1' movement roll value is in coins, a coin to space value. Spaces are more valuable as you can only really get spaces through your dice roll, coins can be gotten in many other ways.
I'd say a dice with all movement is better than any that give or subtract coins.
@Godzil Yeah, next they'll have the Aliens attacking a ranch and abducting their cows, or something even more silly like the moon falling. Goodness could you imagine a Zelda game doing that?
@GloverMist Exactly this isn't the gen 8 game, this is for Pokemon GO players primarily. If fans want a simple game to reminisce with then they can play too. I shall be doing so, but I'm under no delusion that this is the next gen game.
@RandomLeo00 I'd say for newcomers to watch ProJared's videos first, then GaijinHunters weapon tutorials, after that you can branch out with whatever catches your fancy. Just the weapon tutorials will take you above your average player.
I'm hoping that this turns out similar to Project AM2R, it gets taken down, then they announce they are going to be using the IP. We could be looking at a Pokemon-Maker. (Hey, I can dream can't I?)
@Nincompoop Except it's not, there are ways around these subscription services, I do hear of many people, who are able to bypass, say Netflix, and get straight to the content. This would cripple the video game industry as while the likes of Netflix can count on it's core audience chipping in, video games still have a narrower audience (Not narrow, just narrower compared to Film and TV industry)
I can picture Sakurai listening to this speech and a single tear rolling down his cheek, "It's not just MMO's that keep you locked into the one game over and over".
But then Nintendo locks him back in his cupboard to continue to develop SMASH for eternity.
@Xaessya If it weren't Sakurai I'd agree we're being pretty silly. However Sakurai is involved, his evil sense of fanbaiting is well documented at this point.
While I do think we are getting some kind of adventure/story mode and that hidden "spirits" option are likely connected to unlcking characters, I do not think these character trailers are connected. The logic they are using is that you are unlocking them via these 'deaths' or spirits, yet the trailer for Ridley has Mario's 'death', but you can't unlock Mario, he's in the base character slots.
Oh Nintendo Life, trolling me with an image of F-Zero GX, I was hoping Nintendo came to their senses and were releasing a new one. Aw, sorry dreams, crushed again.
Well Nintendo didn't cancel as soon as the leak came out, they cancelled when the company was unable to do anything about it. They lost faith in the company to address in-house issues, seems fair to me to cancel a deal.
*Edit, was still an indecent act on behalf of the employee, but perhaps this shows the company was in a shambles. This is not a justification, but at least explains their motives.
@MysticX It is mainly the sports titles, but he's been in the Kart series for some time and, just for the lolz he was the "antagonist" of DDR: Mario Mix.
@MysticX You are correct that Waluigi was just to fill a gap, but in nearly every game he is in he shows an eccentricity & silliness not seen in other Mario characters (they are all silly, but Waluigi is something else)
In a game where we can have Pac-Man shoot Solid Snake with a Banana Gun Waluigi is a perfect fit.
@Steel76 I wouldn't mind some new racers as well, they have the weight class system so balancing shouldn't be an issue, heck do an 'Ultimate' update or DLC and release every racer & track that has ever been.
@PhilKenSebben I did think about setting up a joint bank account with Nintendo so they can just take my money directly, would save our screens from getting scratched.
Nintendo taught me left from right thanks to the SNES shoulder buttons back when I was young. Now they are teaching the basics of what programming is. All hail Nintendo! I hear they do some good games as well.
