Re: Twilight Princess HD Nearly Had Wii Remote Controls

starman292

There were some major bonuses to having wii remote controls IMO it was much much easier to use the bow on horseback with the remote and I'm absolutely gutted at how much better the fishing game was on the wii version. I like the HD update but I do miss the pointer controlled aspects and wii remote noises. I know many feel very differently but I would of welcomed the option. On the other hand the game pad screen is fantastic, really love that feature.

Re: Why We're Still Playing… Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver

starman292

Yellow was the first pokemon game I ever played and I've been hooked since. But I got gold straight after and it literally blew my mind. Not only was it an awesome new reigon (johto is still possibly my favorite) but then going to Kanto and seeing that 3 years after the events of yellow was just amazing. Particularly as life wasn't so riddled with spoilers as it is now. It was a completely new experience and I do really need to get heart gold lol. I just can't believe how expensive it still is!

Re: Pokémon Red, Blue And Yellow European Pricing Is Confirmed

starman292

Hmm yeah I would of liked it cheaper but meh I'll get one anyway. Not sure what to go for though, I grew up playing yellow but I always liked some of the pokemon you could only get on the other versions. Does anyone know if they are planning on making it compatible to transfer pokemon to current gen games? That would be a nice bonus! But for me anyway being able to play the old pokemon games with the ability to trade and battle wirelessly (ON A BACKLIT SCREEN WOO)! Seems pretty good to me... Anyone remember those crappy game boy light things? They were a pain!

Re: Nintendo's Share Value is Hit Hard by Stock Market Panic

@DavidGX generally if you follow it up with the word spree, then that indicates far more than one. This is because you used "and" as a connecting factor rather than to separate the points. So most people would connect spree with both meme and censorship. It's not really down to people's lack of understanding of the English language. ..

Re: Reggie Fils-Aime Confirmed for The Game Awards as Gerudo Valley Music Remix Arrives

See imo a hardcore gamer is just generally someone who puts a lot of hours into gaming. In the nineties zelda definitely would have been considered hardcore when fewer people played games but its got more of a mixed audience now. Most of the 'hardcore industry' is probably japanese people who will put hundreds of hours into rpgs. Pc gamers tend to be much more hardcore in general, but I think nintendo has had a casual rep more since the wii became a magnet for party games. There are a lot of people who play 'hardcore cames' who are not hardcore gamers mind. None of it makes sense really lets just call them gamers with little social lives instead XD?

Re: Rumour: NX Set for 2016 Release With Nintendo Targeting 20 Million Shipped Units

starman292

Ive just got a ps4 in the sales ready for final fantasy, kingdom hearts and ratchet and clank next year, but honestly as long as the NX is at least as powerful as the xb1 I will happily sell it for the NX. Sony and Microsoft just dont make games like nintendo but I will say I played journey for the first time today and it was awesome! I am struggling to find stuff of that quality though which sucks.

Re: Art: Halo Character Artist Gives Legend Of Zelda's Link A Realistic Makeover

starman292

Ew lol, I think its link's innocent face that has always made him more s more appealing hero. In a way him looking soft and then being a badass fighter also has a better effect on him as a character imo. I find it hard to root for a link who looks as though he wants to beat a moblin to death with the pommel of his sword lol, rather than a hero trying to save everyone from evil.

Re: Poll: Nintendo's Free-to-Play Experiments - Are You Still Playing?

starman292

You can spend ages on rumble world without paying a thing, but I did end up getting bored. Shuffle was a game I played religiously for a few months but then it got really difficult so I stopped. But flipping badge arcade...omg so so damn addictive! I've spent probably about £4 and I have more than half the mario sprite collection. But as someone mentioned the UK/EU version doesn't seem to be getting much love at the moment. I'm desperate for the legend of zelda badges but its all been mario, animal crossing and splatoon so far

Re: Timing Of NX Launch Could Help Nintendo Grab Some Of Sony And Microsoft's Market Share, Says Analyst

starman292

Yes they definitely need to bump up the tech so that it can be supported by third parties for their sake (I personally couldn't care less whether NX gets the next COD and Assassins Creed but it does matter to a large portion of gamers) but in answer to his crap about the more it looks like a ps4 and xb1 the better - what a load of rubbish! Nintendos individuality is what makes it unique and kept it going without third party support. If they had made a crappier version of the 360 then both the wii and wii U would of done far worse than they did (Not That I don't like them but facts are facts, wii u has not sold well) All Nintendo needs to do Is boost the hardware and make it easier for third parties. The last thing we need is a ps4 or xb1 clone, if they did do that then I might as well stick to pc gaming!

Re: Editorial: Linkle May be a Clunky Introduction For a 'Female Link', But Opens Up Interesting Possibilities

starman292

I personally like the the legend of zelda series the way it is. I would not mind a spin off that features customisation, triforce heroes is kind of dabbling in that. But that's because you aren't playing as a hero in a deep story, you are playing as yourself in an online dungeon type game. But as for main series games I would definitely prefer Link to be himself. This has nothing to do with gender though, I would feel exactly the same about not wanting Samus to be a man. They have their own identity even if they do represent the player, plus the story would definitely have to be affected if you could play as different genders.

Re: Chieftain Bob Meets Gunman Clive, You Won't Believe What Happens Next

starman292

So much hate in the comments lol. I do feel this article really has not given it the most positive of attention 0.o it's a bit silly them doing it Imo. A few people mentioned things like mass effect but in mass effect being gay/straight is completely up to the player. You don't have to see any kissing or sex scenes for either gender if you do not want to. Whereas putting it as an unavoidable part of the game is just going to cause needless headaches. I mean look what happened when sonic kissed a human in sonic 06. If that would of gone any further it's classed beastiality lmao but It really was stupidly unnecessarily. I prefer games to either have romance optional or none at all personally. People can't fight over it then!

Re: Some Western Splatoon Players Would Prefer Not To Compete With Japan

starman292

I have fibre optic Internet but I notice a huge difference when I'm playing a game full of Japanese players. Literally they end up teleworking around my screen and the next thing I know I'm dead lol. My friend struggles to finish a game against Japanese players and he's an A+ rank. It does impact the game play massively, I do think that an option to play worldwide or your region would be good.
