@AdanVC Yeah, this is the sort of game in which, if you think you'll enjoy it, you probably will; if you don't think you will/are indifferent, you probably won't like it.
Got it launch day, loved it. I knew it was probably an average-score game when it came to reviews, but I've still had fun with it. ...probably the last time I jump into a game like this without waiting for reviews, though.
The graphics are superb, and the characters are fun, though; so this is enough to keep me going.
...And apparently I'm the only one who's had zero trouble with the camera.
Well, I'll say this much: anything that I'll make with this will probably look better than anything I've previously done; I've never used vectors before (only sprites)... so I'd be able to do a lot more advanced art than I've used before... though I do like pixelart. :3
@Angelic_Lapras_King In my experience, it's more of just trying to make the game do what you want it to do... you keep doing different things until you've bent the game to your will, haha!
I think 3DS is basically a shoo-in for Handheld game of the year... only Tearaway isn't from the 3DS, so it had better be absolutely amazing if it wants to win... but since ALBW also is nominated for GOTY, and Tearaway is not... that should say something. But who knows.
@TrueWiiMaster Oh wow, that game just ended up totally slipping my radar... I somehow missed the review and everything! ...I think I'd rather get that one than Bomb Monkey, actually.
I think it looks pretty slick, but I really don't see Nintendo ever making something that looked like that... I also don't see them dropping the dual-screen format any time soon, either. Two screens works so well and lets you do so many amazing things!
@bigtig Games are games, dude. If you're not too old to play console games you're not too old to play handheld games. And you're never too old to play video games.
I love speedrunning! I love games that have speedrun goals/timers built in (like Rayman Origins or Super Mario 3D Land). Right now the only game I can speedrun all the way through Super Mario Bros. 2, and I can speedrun The True Arena in Kirby Super Star Ultra. And I've been working on speedrunning Super Mario Bros., too. I don't have the time right now to watch this one, but I will be back!
...people who complain about speedrunning are probably the ones who can't do it.
I find it so weird that those games sold so well... I've never heard anything about those games that would suggest that they were so popular... I guess those games must have been more popular in Japan than the west! I really would have expected ALBW to be the best of the bunch, but... I guess I was wrong...
Nice format for the review, hahaha! ...I enjoyed this one (and, you know, I did not expect a game about awful dolls to be any better than "awful", lol).
I can go to the Pokémon Championships, guys! I can go to the Pokémon Championships!!!
...I'll probably get my butt handed to me, but... I wanna go just because it's so close!
...it'd be silly for me not to go, really...
@Zombie_Barioth @NavySpheal well you know... there's really nothing else worth the Master Ball in the game so... it doesn't really matter what you caught with it... (I caught Yveltal in the Master Ball, too. I regret nothing!)

@AdanVC Yeah, this is the sort of game in which, if you think you'll enjoy it, you probably will; if you don't think you will/are indifferent, you probably won't like it.
Re: Review: Chibi-Robo! Photo Finder (3DS eShop)
...why? Why? Why am I the only one who's had no issues with the camera on this? I get 80-100% on everything!
...this is bizarre...

Re: Scirra's Construct 2 Engine to Support Wii U Nintendo Web Framework Development

(and I'd never heard of Ashley before)
Re: Scirra's Construct 2 Engine to Support Wii U Nintendo Web Framework Development
Looks like a nice little engine! ...I might have to check this out! ...I'm good with making 2D games, this looks built for 2D.
Re: Team Kakumei Joins The Wii U Developer Family
@ACK hahaha, yes... these guys are doing what I plan on doing when I'm out of school... but I'd like to see a bit more effort being put in... o.o
Re: Team Kakumei Joins The Wii U Developer Family
...I've made games that look better than that (never done 3D before, though), and I'm entirely self-taught and still in high-school... >.>

Re: Speedrunner Alert - Majora's Mask Glitch Allows Unexpected Warps
@Angelic_Lapras_King In my experience, it's more of just trying to make the game do what you want it to do... you keep doing different things until you've bent the game to your will, haha!
Re: Speedrunner Alert - Majora's Mask Glitch Allows Unexpected Warps
It's so awesome when you discover something like this...!

Re: Nintendo Picks Up Multiple Nominations in D.I.C.E. Awards
I think 3DS is basically a shoo-in for Handheld game of the year... only Tearaway isn't from the 3DS, so it had better be absolutely amazing if it wants to win... but since ALBW also is nominated for GOTY, and Tearaway is not... that should say something. But who knows.

I might pick up Bomb Monkey if it's only $3...

Re: This Design For A "Game Boy Evolution" Sure Is Intriguing
I think it looks pretty slick, but I really don't see Nintendo ever making something that looked like that... I also don't see them dropping the dual-screen format any time soon, either. Two screens works so well and lets you do so many amazing things!
Re: First Impressions: Kirby: Triple Deluxe Is Three Times More Fun Than Most Other 3DS Games
@JaxonH I'm (planning on hopefully) getting Yoshi's New Island and Kirby: Triple Deluxe on launch day, too!
...I'm kinda obligated to get Kirby: Triple Deluxe 'cause of the work I do at the Kirby Wiki, but I'm excited for Yoshi, too!
Re: First Impressions: Kirby: Triple Deluxe Is Three Times More Fun Than Most Other 3DS Games
Oh, and apparently, rather than Big Bang, it's Hypernova in the English translation. Just a heads up.
