Okay, here's a brief summary of why people dislike the game: it's linear, the action gameplay didn't cut it, the script (and story) were mediocre at best, the music was completely forgettable, hunting for green pixels on green grass is lame, and, finally, TEH BABY. For me, everything I loved about Super Metroid was missing.
And plenty of people think the complete opposite too. But we've been over this a hundred times here, and that's more than enough. So there you go.
I think my favorite version of golf is the one in Wii Sports Resort. It has a nice relaxing feel to it, and the controls are awesome. I've never really been a fan of the Tiger Woods games though.
The apparent greed element bothers me too. I keep hoping that Wario will show up at some point and demand a million coins as ransom for Peach or something. There needs to be some kind of honorable motive behind it all — otherwise it's just kind of sickening. If a plot element like that does exist then it's kind of strange that Nintendo is hiding it. The game's packaging and marketing isn't exactly painting Mario in the best of lights.
Of course I'm going to buy the game and have fun just playing it regardless, haha.
Took a quick look at what they've made on wikipedia, and it doesn't look like Danger Close has ever made a portable game. It'll be pretty cool if it does happen though. :3
Heh, the "bad words" filter is easily gotten around by using special characters, spaces, no spaces, misspellings, stuff like that. You see it everywhere a content filter is in place. Unless every comment is moderated, stuff is going to get through.
You know, I was never interested in the Tomb Raider games before, but I really like how this one's been looking. Hopefully it'll get a super edition at some point like Arkham City is. :3
I'm pretty sure Nintendo's objective isn't to make the game ridiculously easy — we'll likely see the reasoning behind the ridiculous amounts of coinage tomorrow. :3

Re: Monster Hunter News Teased by Capcom Community Representative

Re: Feature: James's Favourite Nintendo Life Moments
Goodbye and good luck James! Thanks for all of the amazingness you've delivered over the years.
Re: Site News: James Finds a Warp Zone
I already expressed my grief on twitter, but congrats James. Well-deserved, but you will be missed. Best of luck to you!

Re: Metroid Fan Film is Light on Action, Heavy on Chat
^^ Let's not go there. I hated it too, but I think everyone's tired of the sordid affair.
And wow, this is horrible too.
Re: Review: NES Open Tournament Golf (Wii Virtual Console / NES)
@Miss_Birdo I think it had 9 new and 9 old ones. I'm not sure though.

Re: Review: NES Open Tournament Golf (Wii Virtual Console / NES)
@Miss_Birdo Totally unreasonable controls! Deleted! 0 stars if I could!
Oh wait this isn't the App Store.
Re: Review: NES Open Tournament Golf (Wii Virtual Console / NES)
@TeeJay S'what instruction manuals are for. :3
Re: Review: NES Open Tournament Golf (Wii Virtual Console / NES)
Silly noobs, you shouldn't diss a game if you won't even bother to figure out how to play it.
Re: Review: NES Open Tournament Golf (Wii Virtual Console / NES)
This game is crazy hard but I had a blast playing it a few months ago.
Re: Nintendo Download: 5th July 2012 (North America)
NES Open Tournament Golf is awesome. Best surprise of all the ambassador games by far.

Re: Monster Hunter 4 Attacks Japan in Spring 2013
Here you go James:
This looks pretty sweet. Lots of jumping around and climbing... and it even looks like it MIGHT be open world. LOCALIZE PLZ.
Re: EA Sports to Reveal Wii U Games Next Month
If they reveal a new Grand Slam Tennis game... that might change my mind about getting a Wii U at launch.

Re: Nintendo Serves Up Mario Tennis History Infographic
Open is a fantastic game. It's a bit light on content and there are a few things I'd change in the gameplay, but it's still ridiculously fun as-is.
Re: New Super Mario Bros. 2 Trailer is Informative
This looks absolutely awesome.
Re: Bigger Nintendo 3DS Console Revealed
This baby looks sick. I wonder if they improved the color saturation of the screen. My DS lite looks more vibrant than my 3DS.
Re: Catch the North American Nintendo Direct Live Here
@Zergling Yeah, I've just been watching my twitter blowup, haha.
Re: Catch the North American Nintendo Direct Live Here
@Zergling Shhh we're not supposed to know that yet.
Re: Catch the North American Nintendo Direct Live Here
I'm calling a 3DS XL and a third party helping with SSB3D.
Re: Catch the North American Nintendo Direct Live Here
Most anyone should dare to hope for are localizations.
Re: Catch the North American Nintendo Direct Live Here
What. We're stuck with James again?? Handsome Swedish panda is way cooler.
Re: LEGO Batman 2 Launch Trailer is Super
@warioswoods Yeah I couldn't finish the 3DS demo. It was... terribly dull. The console versions look like they might be fun though.

Re: Yoshinori Ono Still Overworked Despite Health Scare
Capcom has really been digging their own grave. I love some of the games they put out, but it seems like the people up top are a bunch of a**holes.

You know, I was never interested in the Tomb Raider games before, but I really like how this one's been looking. Hopefully it'll get a super edition at some point like Arkham City is. :3

Re: E3 2012: New Super Mario Bros. 2 Trailer Goes for Gold
