@LadyCharlie This, so much. I find as I get older, I love more cozy games and fun titles as opposed to super-serious, action-packed fare. This scratches an itch, the same one that Animal Crossing, Cook Serve Delicious, and Fantasy Life do. It's perfect.
leaks wouldn't be an issue if there wasnt a demand. people who wanted these leaks are the same type of people who love to see leaks of nintendo directs and such.
I'm waiting for it to hit Peacock; I always hated going to a theater, and that's only gotten moreso since The Rona. Would rather chill at home to watch.
@Rurounifencer I think in my head, I thought of it as bad back then because NOBODY talked about it. Glad to see plenty of people are giving it love now!
@MagicEmperor I played that game when I was 6 or 7, and it scared the crap outta me. Of course, I can look at it now and kinda laugh, but... I shy away from actually playing it again, even now!
@Darlinfan YES. Halle Barry was amazing for doing that. The movie has very few bright spots, and nothing compares to Michelle Pfeiffer's transformation into Catwoman, but Halle Berry did the best she could with what she had for a script.
I like it. I just hope this doesn't mean support and games are stopping for the 3DS. 3DS is my main gaming device, and I don't have the means to play a console, usually.
@Soren Gee, let's see.. It's from Nintendo and Intelligent Systems, it uses strategy RPG elements and the rock-paper-scissors (axes-lances-swords) formula that the series is known for, it has a wide variety of characters, and an epic storyline. Oh, and it's actually titled Fire Emblem.
Please, tell me how it's not a 'real' Fire Emblem game.
I love this game. Aside from the main game, there are TONS of mini-games that are just as fun as the main story. So much hate in the comments for it, but I loved it. One of my top 10 DS games for sure.
As awesome as the graphics may be, this game does not deliver what was promised in the teaser. I wanted something dark, unique, and at least in flavor with both the franchises. From everything I have seen, this is just another stupid game where the females have massive funbags and the guys are all dolts. They had a chance to do something wonderful and stunning and true. A love letter to both franchises. Instead, nope. Generic anime crap with panty shots, large breasts, and a boring-looking combat system. So much potential, so much promise, completely wasted.
You guys have to understand something: I was rolling on a high from both FE:A and SMTIV when the initial teaser landed for this game. I was excited. I was like, 'I don't care how long it takes, this sounds amazing'. Then the April 1st trailer happened, and I was leery then, but decided to keep an open mind. Now, it's like my poor little fangirl heart was popped in a blender and someone hit the puree button. My rage may not be justified, but my soul-crushing disappointment sure as heck is.
This game is NOT SMT, nor is it Fire Emblem. It's a slap in the face to the fans and an insult to both franchises. I honestly think the dev team had some in-development assets lying around, and when they tried to make a good crossover and failed, in desperation, they pulled out the assets and slapped FE names to some of them. I hate the fact this game exists. If it were released as a whole new IP and not pushed as the SMT x FE crossover, I would not be this pissed off about it.
What a kerfluffle. I personally don't give a duck if the review is good or bad. I like the series, so I will pick up this game and enjoy it, regardless of what professional reviewers may say about it.
@NImH Wow, the butthurt here is so intense I can still see the flames spewing forth. Let me make one thing clear: I don't have a New Nintendo 3DS or a Wii U; I don't plan to get either because I just got the Persona Q limited edition 3DS for Christmas. I don't plan to get Amiibos, which at the heart of it, are a cash grab and do little to enhance gameplay other than triggering unlockables. Some people operate on something called a budget, and buying just the game alone is enough to drain extra funds sometimes. If you buy them and enjoy them, great. Go nuts. Amiibo it up. They're just not for me. Period.
@ollietaro Yeesh. And yeah, it's a massive cash grab. Besides, I don't even have a New 3DS, so there's no point to me. Will just play the game as it is. If they do the shop sharing thing like they did in Trendsetters, I can probably get the outfits that way, anyway.
Once again, people make mountains out of molehills. If you're not okay with it, don't buy the game. It's that easy. Don't come here and spew religious rhetoric. I don't want to hear it. Nobody does. Just shush.

It's a 2D Mario game, it doesn't NEED anything like that.

Seriously? Did you play the same special levels that I did?!

@Zeropulse Glad to hear it!

Re: Talking Point: Everyone Has A Bad Game They Love, So What's Yours?
@Darlinfan I know. Catwoman is terrible, but like the movie, it's almost so bad it's good.
Re: Talking Point: Everyone Has A Bad Game They Love, So What's Yours?
@Darlinfan Maybe 'bad' was the wrong term. Maybe I thought that because nobody talked about it.
Re: Talking Point: Everyone Has A Bad Game They Love, So What's Yours?
Bad games I loved? Oh, so many... But the ones that come to mind first:

Re: Mobile Hit Fire Emblem Heroes Introduces A New Subscription-Based Service
Nope. I stopped playing a while ago and now, I really see no reason to go back. Pay2Win models suck ass.

Re: Hitoshi Yamagami Talks a Bit About Shin Megami Tensei X Fire Emblem's Conception
@Luna_110 Then they should have called it by the new name from the get-go, not continued to push it as SMT x FE.
Re: Hitoshi Yamagami Talks a Bit About Shin Megami Tensei X Fire Emblem's Conception
@mariovslink62 Sadly, no. It was shown on Nintendo Direct, so it was no joke.
Re: Hitoshi Yamagami Talks a Bit About Shin Megami Tensei X Fire Emblem's Conception
I'm actually shocked that I'm the only one so upset by this, to be honest.
Do any of you remember how this game was initially promoted? Like THIS: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OK5-EIzDtKo

@roboshort All this salt and anger was born of soul-crushing disappointment.

Re: Review: Theatrhythm Final Fantasy: Curtain Call (3DS)
i want to know if DLC will carry over. I don't wanna buy all those songs again.
Re: Review: Theatrhythm Final Fantasy: Curtain Call (3DS)
@soma I'm assuming so; the official webpage for the game doesn't have a tracklist of any kind up.
Re: Review: Theatrhythm Final Fantasy: Curtain Call (3DS)
@soma In the last game, there was about 80 songs. In this one? Over 200.
Re: Nintendo Download: 11th September (North America)
Nothing for me this week. Gotta wait for Theatrhythm next week!

Re: Nintendo Provides Some Context to 2013's Tomodachi Life Same-Sex Marriage Controversy
Is Nintendo a bit silly for not having same-sex couples an option in this game? Yes.
Is it worth raking them over the coals for? No.
Everyone complaining? Shut up. Everyone praising the decision? Shut up. This kind of bickering does nobody any good.
