I'm not a fan of the grimdark artsyle, or the designs of the costumes(Hal's is the worst). I also don't like how almost half of the current confirmed cast can be tied directly to Batman. Or how apparently the Joker is a major focus of the story mode.
@HarmoKnight How is it taking money away from 3DS sales? If its taking money from anything, it's probably from VCon sales, since this looks more like a clone of Super Mario World than any of the more recent Mario games.
Only one I had a problem with was Uncharted for Best Handheld. Skyrim for GoTY doesn't surprise or offend me, everyone was going nuts for that game when I came out and it did look really fun. I can imagine there will be plenty of people angry at Mortal Kombat for best fighter, though there would have been people angry at that category regardless of who won.
Edit: So wait, do you just need it for the online stuff? Or is it for offline AND online? This is EA we're talking about, so the latter is a possibility.
@theoldman I never played Air Ride "back in the day." It's very much a recent addition to my game library, and I enjoy it very much, especially when I have friends around who know what they're doing.
@Yosher I wouldn't say that. I love the game, and the two games were made with the same basic philosophy in mind(easy to learn, hard to master), but personally I think that there isn't nearly as much depth in Air Ride as there is in SSB(especially Melee).
@DRL Nah, it's cool. I was mostly kidding/exaggerating anyway. Like I said, I think this game could have used some polish, and then I feel it could be a lot better than it is. Cut some of the fat(Top Ride), give us more variety(more maps in Air Ride/City Trial), and maybe some other stuff, and the game could really be fun.
This is the only time I've felt rage at an NL review. Air Ride is one of my favorite games on the Gamecube, period. It could use some polish, yes, but I still think it's a fun game.
City Trial is the best mode, btw. I really wish they had offered more maps than just the default one to play on, as well as a sort of "Battle Mode" where the whole point would be just to destroy your opponents. Oh, and they should have removed Top Ride, nobody liked that mode.
@3Dash Why bring up the Wii U gamepad? This is an Android tablet, it's a completely different device.
What they're doing in the video(playing games they don't own) may be illegal, but I don't see anything wrong with giving a tablet/phone a set of buttons to use in addition to the touchscreen.
@HarmoKnight
I think that you and I are not arguing the same thing. Yes, selling the rom of a game you don't own the license to wrapped in an emulator is illegal. HOWEVER, creating an emulator for a system you didn't make without the consent of the maker of the original console is not illegal.
I repeat, emulation is not illegal. VC is run by Nintendo, but there are plenty of commercial releases(especially collections of retro games) that use emulators, often without the consent of the maker of the original system.
Also, as far as the tablet goes, I think stuff like this exists to show that tablets can do what consoles can do as well as the more typical iOS/Android fare.
@Damo Sure they could have. It' entirely possible they bought a rom dumper, dumped the roms themselves, and then copied the roms onto their tablets. Of course, it's also equally possible that the roms are pirated. From what we see, it's impossible to tell.
@kyuubikid213
That game doesn't look nearly as amazing as this game.
@sinalefa
Agree on what exactly? I've said a lot of things, not sure what you're talking about.
I see no problem with this. They're advertising a device that is designed for traditional-style game, why not use some traditional games?
And emulators are perfectly legal. If not, then the VC wouldn't be legal, and the MM Anniversary and X collections would have been Gamecube exclusives. EDIT: That said, downloading roms that you don't own is illegal, so some of what's shown in the video could be legally murky.
@Damo Was the movie not as censored as the TV show was? Most of the violence and blood was blacked out in the show. Though I haven't watched in a while, so I'm not sure if they censored the scene where he gets his scars.
@grimbldoo
I know they look kinda like nipples, but they aren't. Scars in Anime and Manga are very different from how they are in real life.
Edit: Also, I do wear glasses, and human anatomy tells me that people only have two nipples, and that they don't form dipper-shaped patterns across peoples chests. Edit 2: Perhaps you need glasses, since last I checked nipples aren't that color, and they point outwards, not inwards.
And about how roided out he looks: TRUST ME, Kenshiro(the guy with blue hair) looks positively tiny compared to a lot of the villains in the show.
@grimbldoo
I assume we are talking about the 7 points on his chest. As someone who actually watched the show this game is based on, I can tell you that those are scars given to him by one of his foes before the series began.
If you would like proof, you can watch the whole show subbed on Hulu.
Eh, I admit, Xover(which is supposed to be pronounced crossover, Japan is weird) looks pretty , but I'm not frothing at the mouth like I was for the Legends 3 cancellation. Street Fighter isn't even getting a game for its anniversary, just a compilation of other games.
Lower the prices, and implement an account system so we can share games between multiple machines. And let us share VC games between the Wii/Wii U and 3DS so we don't have to buy them all over again just to be able to play them on a different machine.
@meltendo As far as brands go, SanDisk is the one I've heard is the most compatible/best quality. I also use a lot of Lexar cards, not just for Nintendo stuff, so that's good as well.
As far as size, just get whatever you feel comfortable with. The 3DS is SDXC compatible, so all SD, SDHC, and SDXC cards should work.
STOP PAYING ATTENTION TO PETA. Seriously people, you want PETA to stop doing crap like this? Maybe you should stop posting when they do stupid crap and not give them free press.

Re: Mario Clone Super Maria Land Jumps Onto Android
Well, it's free, so I don't think anything really illegal is going on. It's certainly no more illegal than creating a fangame.
Also, stop reporting every time a Mario clone is released on Android/iOS.
