@Xenocity https://twitter.com/notch/status/416452962450300928 Yep, sure seems to be the case.

Thanks, guys. I'll just get it on Steam down the road. Don't wait for a patch, guys. Armillo got a patch after performance complaints, and it barely fixed anything. The Wii U is just, as sad as it is to admit, a very complex machine that still ends up being underpowered by today's standards. My laptop is better at running a lot of third parties on the Wii U, honestly. I'll still support 2D indies on Wii U, but it's clearly not worth it with 3D indies.

Jeez, this really shows the good and bad side of the community.

Honestly? Anybody who refuses to acknowledge that there is unfair, categorized treatment in eSports is just covering their ears. Just because it's "always been one way" doesn't make any sort of negative behavior right.

Also, nobody is saying men don't ever receive unfair treatment. Don't try to counter an issue by using another issue, that's a logical fallacy. They're both issues that need to be resolved at the end of the day.

Too risky, would be way easier to open than it would be if they developed their own OS. Thank goodness they confirmed it false.

I love how most of these comments are confused about some of MatPat's points because they were theories developed in other episodes that these guys probably didnt watch.

Also, come on guys. It's just a game. Mario doesn't have a timeline, anyways.

Of course. It looked great first time around, but wow! All the additions since the last time I saw it! Were there always voice actors? A proper level select? Oh my goodness, what an amazing way to announce the final release. So stoked.

Man, how upsetting. I spent some good time with the most finished version of Starfox 2 leaked, and to know there's a better build of it inside Nintendo headquarters is gut wrenching. Hopefully our generation will get to see it, one day.

Eh. Should've been Luigi, tbh.

@Retro_on_theGo My email was in spam, haha. I was worried for a second.

@ekreig How have you not heard of Freedom Planet? Go play it! Now!!!

Aaaaaah don't call it a demo, guys. It's a server stress test they're holding this weekend...

This game is great on mobile, but jeeeez, what's with the field of view in this port?

Hopefully there is a similar deal here in the states, as I am buying digitally. )':

If any more DLC is added, it better be Battle Mode stages. Ideally, 8 free battle mode stages, and 4 extra stages as DLC packaged with new characters and karts would be great. It would just make sense, anyways. If they allow you to pick from both race tracks and battle arenas, then everyone wins.

Eh, it was irritating when they were making 360/PS3 ports of games, but skipping Wii U, but if they're specifically developing this new installment for newer hardware, I completely understand it skipping out. The Wii U isn't as strong as the XB1/PS4, after all. Shame that Advanced Warfare skipped out last time around, though. Really wanted to try out the exosuit gameplay.

Oh, cool. If it keeps all the Exo Suit stuff from Advanced Warfare, I'm all for buying this!

If Rock Band doesn't hit Wii U, I'll buy this just to spite them.

@CreativeWelshman More than half of those are also on the Old 3DS.

@YoshiTails They said its coming shortly.

@maceng I get why Christians get offended by it. Implying their religion is unhealthy (which is a fair reason, but it really is more so about how religion isn't for everybody and can be misused), and the various elements within it that are considered evil by Christianity could offend on their own. This game isn't for everyone, and I respect those who have no interest in it 100%.

As somebody unaffiliated with a religion, I don't really find any reason to be offended by it in that case unless you're easily disturbed by gross imagery. I honestly relate to McMillen and the story he's written here and absolutely love the game for it.

Also I want to add Nicalis and McMillen have gone out to say that this game will be running at a solid 60fps, so if the framerate was the only thing making you wary, it might be a purchase worth considering.

@Kaze_Memaryu No problem, dude. Yeah, there's a lot I didn't mention due to huge spoilers, so it definitely doesn't end there. My post is already kind of a spoiler as it is, haha. If you do end up purchasing it, I hope you find some enjoyment in it!

(Spoiler Warning!)

@Kaze_Memaryu Honestly, it does. Isaac is a young boy being raised in a Christian home with a curious, creative mind. This leads him to experiment with a lot of things that are taboo in his religion. You can see in between levels that he crossdresses, and thinks about suicide a lot (perhaps due to the constant bullying he receives in those same intermissions). He also is scared of his own body (sex organ, specifically), as his mother or one of his Christian peers has demonized it.

He fears becoming consumed by these things that are evil in his religion, and it comes out in the form of the grotesque, deformed monsters he combats, as they all typically have something to them that is taboo. They're either obese, naked, sick, filled with parasites, gored, leak some type of body fluid, or resemble a sex organ. Anything not after him was murdered, or committed suicide.

Everything is overdone because he is a child with a big imagination, and even bigger fears. The dungeons he goes through aren't actually real, these are moreso a story he's written of himself struggling to fight that which his religion deems evil, and, at the end, having to accept the fact that he cannot escape them and is therefore evil himself. No matter how much he fights, he is constantly corrupted by items he finds in his journey, attaching to him like leeches.

(End spoilers.)

This isn't spoon-fed to the player, and you have to go out of your way to realize it. That was McMillen's plan all along, and he's admitted to it. He didn't even want anybody to pay attention to the message, as it was solely a release for himself. So if you're not a fan of that, I completely understand. Abstract art isn't for everyone, especially if you can't relate to it.

I hope I don't offend anybody with this post, by the way. I'm not trying to imply Christianity is unhealthy, although it can be and has been to some due to extremists, which every social group contains. Its different for everyone. I'm simply stating the message Edmund was trying to express through his game.

@Kaze_Memaryu Except, you know, the game has a legitimate message that the creator has confirmed on several occasions. Its not just sick for reaction. The game's message relies heavily on the aesthetic.

I know it wont change your opinion on the game, but don't assume things without being fully aware of them, haha.

Ouch. I feel like the fact that they waited so long might hurt sales. Its already been on Wii U for a while, and the 3DS is getting old. They should've done a 3DS version first. I hope it does OK. I'd get it, but there'd be no point. I've already beaten it on Wii, PC, and Wii U. I'd just be wasting money at that point.

Hm. I'm probably still going to get it, but I'll be waiting a bit for some reviews before I do, now.

He also condoned emulation on his channel. Encouraged it, even. When he played Super Mario World on his channel, despite it being on the Wii/Wii U Virtual console, he emulated it on Ouya, and told people to download the ROM and run it on their Ouya, if they have one. What a strange guy.

@Animan13 Calm down, man. Nobody is scaring you away because you're a developer. You just gotta learn to speak at a less personal level. Nobody is going to really pay attention to your feelings if they're busy criticizing you. Trust me, I feel you. I'm a young developer, myself. Just do your thing, dude. Don't respond to anything you know is a lie, it's typically bait. And if it isn't? If they just don't give the game a chance because of the aesthetic? Maybe they don't deserve to play it in the first place. As a developer, that's the mindset I keep, and it helps a lot. As long as you are genuinely putting your all into it, trying to make the most unique experience you possibly can, and not just doing it to trend off a popular genre for quick cash? You're doing fine, and nobody needs to tell you that but yourself.

I'm personally intrigued by this. It looks unique. If it ever hit the eShop, I'd probably snag it. Good luck with your personal issues. I've been there, and it sucks when they stop you from doing what you love. You'll figure it out. And if this game never makes it to the eShop? I still can't wait to see what you make in the future.

I actually already picked it up! Now I can't wait to beat it!

@Drac_Mazoku Aw, shame. I was about to buy 1001 Spikes on sale, but not if it's got a game breaking bug of that magnitude.

Also, anybody else having trouble finding the Cube Creator demo? It was supposed to come out today.

EDIT: Found it! Took it a while to appear. Strange.

Awesome. I have no need for the 3DS version, so I'm golden.

@andrea987 Pretty sure that was edited in. I wouldn't have explained it had it been there in the first place, plus the first paragraph still implies that it would be a simple patch to the 3DS's operating system.

@OorWullie It's just the visuals, really. This is probably one of the most polished endless runners ever made, and it's sad that many people aren't aware. The game actually tests beforehand to make sure every obstacle is possible to complete, or else it rebuilds the levels realtime, with the player unaware of any of this going on.

Honestly, it's just the fact that the main characters are 2D images for me. The dev put so much effort into the rest of the game, and the poster characters do not show that. Especially compared to the guest characters, which are full 3D models. Not to mention all of the main characters are just reskins of themselves.

@TrueWiiMaster you clearly know nothing of the exploit, then. somebody would need to develop a completely new exploit to open piracy for 3DS.

And as a note, NintendoLife, patching is unlikely. The studio is defunct, therefore meaning the source of the game is probably gone. It loads the exploit by loading a save file through the game that runs the homebrew code.The only way I can see Nintendo getting around this is disabling Cubic Ninja entirely... again, it's not out of the question, but very unlikely. And if Smealum found one way in? I'm positive he could find others, especially now that he's knowledgeable in the 3DS's architecture.

@rushiosan yeeep, I'm such an idiot for buying that 8gb model. it's not like I could plug in a 64gb flash drive that I had laying around or any similar storage device for extra space... ah, oh well. that's what I get for being an idiot.

On topic, though, it's annoying having Smash on my Wii U already, but not being able to play it. )':

@Porky It's just the Sports Coupe.

I'm sure it'll still sell. Not as much as the Wii, obviously, but I can see parents falling for this. It happens.

I'm surprised Nintendo doesn't embrace educational games with popular kids show characters, though. Not as a main focus, but it wouldn't hurt to have commercials early in the morning revolving around educational kid friendly games, as well as inviting developers of that... genre? Can it even be called a genre? All I know is that I thought Reader Rabbit and Math Blaster were cool as a kid, and that if Nintendo promoted stuff like this, it could potentially sell Wii Us to families! They have motion controls, they have a tablet controller... there's a lot of neat stuff you could do with educational games on the Wii U.

@AlexOlney Watch them not care about this. I swear the only reason they sued NIntendo was over bad waters with the CDi.

@SilentHunter382 Isaac still has a shot at 3DS. They're still trying.

@IxC No, he did actually hire an artist this time. Said so himself.

I like when we're getting an exclusive, and then it becomes a multiplat, we have to wait for the other consoles before we get our version, but when the Wii U version of a game is taking a while to develop, they delay it only and release the other versions way earlier.

And I know Namco =/= Ubisoft but Ubisoft actually has done both these things. Shame on them.

Guys, it's not Captain Falcon, it's a NEW fighter.

Also, I guess this is going to be the one to make or break that really accurate leak we have floating around.

Well, when all you play is a game from 2001, of course the graphics are going to appear to be on a completely different level.

No, but Mew2King joshing aside, they had some fair criticisms on the game, if what they said was true, I'd definitely like to see them fix that stuff. Or at least add back L cancelling.

@CharleSketch MAYBE he was right? No, he was right. Keiji isn't a developer, never has been, a concept artist at most. Have you noticed whenever they have a new build, they have to call him in from who knows where? He's not always there, making sure everything is A OK.

Also, anyone who is saying that isn't what they would expect Beck to act like, you clearly never read up on Beck, he is the youngest and weakest of the Mighty Numbers, as well as a bit timid. I definitely think this is overdoing it though.

@MrGawain Ehhh, Activision is still a good supporter. They port the COD games over to us.

@danielflugt What does the choice of gender have to do with sexual orientation?

@SuperSammy64 I admire you pulling out a dictionary, Sammy, but bodacious is too lukewarm of a word to be using to describe a game as ground breaking as Super Mario 64, don't you think?

Okay but what about N64 games?

I think Racing Transformed didn't need to be on the list, the challenges you have to do to unlock the full roster are repetitive, and nobody plays online at all. Not to mention Mario Kart 8 is leagues ahead of it.

Welp, Nevada's on the list this time. But doesn't have any drop down options. I don't know what this means for us here in Vegas.

Assuming what happened last year, though, we aren't getting anything. Our rep would rather go to E3 than help Nintendo advertise.
