It's possible. I didn't quite put that many hours into this but Dragon Coins was consuming my life at one point. I had to uninstall the dang game otherwise I coulda hit 200+ easy.
Yes but that's the difference between Smash and other fighting games. All the characters are unique and they don't just reskin models. I doubt they'd even have similar normal attacks. Seems Sora makes sure to put the extra effort in to prevent that scenario from happening.
I thought this was gonna be some joke or a PR thing. Hope it's nothing serious. It's not like this industry is like laborers who walk off job sites, not to return, on a daily basis.
This is a weird time for Nintendo right now but as has been said, delightful indeed. We don't know much about what they (Nintendo and DeNa) got up their sleeve but my mind was blown watching the information overload yesterday.
Jeez...this guy. Devs who make quality titles don't get a stigma attached to their name. I wonder why? I'm taking my ball and going to another playground where everyone is going to like me!
This game is an overlooked gem. I recommend it for anyone who loves Metroid-style platformers. Also the mini-pet sim is a fun little distraction. I would happily pay for this one again. Fun stuff.
Hearts was the only one I knew about. It's a shame but I can understand the business side of things.
I just wish more publishers would take risks on localizing titles like Xseed does. I have them to thank for plenty of quirky or niche titles that the "big" studios won't bother with.
Nintendo and leaks don't often go hand in hand. I'd love if it was true because this was a super fun game and would definitely play again, even though I still own the disc and have my Wii still in use.
Not true. Every once in a while a band like Kongos comes around and actually makes music. Even if you don't like their sound those dudes got some talent.
This title is not like many others though. Some may not be into the type of game but even if you aren't it is a nearly flawless game. The handful of negatives are massively outweighed by the positives.
I hope a demo will be available so everyone will realize they need this game. If you don't you are missing out.
It's not bad if they make fun free to play games. This one is okay. It's not the best, but it's fun to play for 10 to 15 minutes each night when I'm on the can.
I'm with you. I didn't check in here til after my first break and was a bit overwhelmed with everything that has happened. Can't even take it all in but what I can so far it doesn't sound like it's a bad thing.
Well that would be nice. I won't disagree with that but honestly I'm not just being a fanboy here. The game is as smooth and fluid as some of the best platformers. I've not encountered even the slightest bit of slowdown and have over 20 hours logged so far.
I don't know the ins and outs of design and how difficult it would be to have 60fps but I know this is a budget title that runs like what you'd expect from a full price title.
It does make a difference in some games but this is not one of them. For this title specifically it's a silly reason to skip it. To each his own though.
I bet they could and I'd buy it. And while it had been a common misconception that horror doesn't work well with handhelds, there are plenty of examples that contradict that.
I know but I'm not telling you that you can't score a game too low. If you think it's a 6 then it's a 6 for your not so in depth review, and there is nothing wrong with that.
Some of my favorite reader letters in Game Informer are the people who rant about scores of reviewers.
I personally think the whole numbers grading should be done away with. But some people don't like to actually read reviews so I know that won't happen.
And seeing how Shovel Knight isn't a "true" 8-bit game I imagine they (Yacht Club) could just as easily make a Shovel Knight 64 game be just as entertaining as the best 3d platformers.
I won't lie. I haven't bought it for Wii U...yet. I did buy it on Steam at a major discount so I feel like I should support it on Wii U because it really is a fun little game.
It's a shame that Two Tribes is having trouble because they do have some brilliant minds there.
But what people don't understand is a review is an opinion. Why do people insist on telling someone else their personal opinion is wrong? It happens so often but still cracks me up.
Definitely getting this. Even if I wasn't a huge Intelligent Systems fan this is my type of game.
Wonder if they could tweak the game in an update to add a fast forward type button for enemy turns. Not a deal breaker but I can see it becoming an irritant.
I understand that and my excitement level is slightly below lukewarm about this topic. I was responding to "of course Next Level is at work on Wii U games."
It's like the people who boycotted Shadow Complex. I am very happy I was not one of them and don't care if someone thinks I'm a terrible person or somehow associating me with Card in any way. I really don't care.
Just to be contrary, not trying to play a side here but we are talking DSiware and a 3DS download. Those are different generations, development processes, etc. I won't claim to be in the know about anything there but it's not really comparable, is it?
Yes but that is your ideals. Unfortunately reality is different. I disagree on the no one should be able to copyright the troll face though. Just because it's accepted as a meme by the interwebs doesn't make something public domain. The truffle shuffle is still the property of whoever owns the Goonies name, not the Internet. They can sue the pants off anyone they please if they tried to make money off Chunk gettin down.

I'm thinking this is closer to Shiren on Wii than Pokémon. But if you just don't like Mystery Dungeon games then you probably won't like it.
Re: Mega Blastoise Event Launches in Pokémon Shuffle, as Free-to-Play Title Passes Three Million Downloads
Haven't spent money on it yet but I gotta admit I am hooked. I might just make a small purchase just because I do actually enjoy the game.
Re: Review: Etrian Mystery Dungeon (3DS)
Great review Morgan.
I've always been a bigger fan of the 'rogue-lite' types and the Mystery crossovers always deliver. Guess I am just not hardcore enough.
I expected this to basically be a Pokémon Mystery dungeon that actually has some challenge. Definitely a day one purchase.

That doesn't have that much to do with anything. You can take all the time you need since you don't use your steam until you make an action.
Re: Talking Point: What We Expect from Nintendo Direct - 1st April
I just heard from a source that leaked the April fool's direct is in fact an April fool's joke.

Re: Bandai Namco Celebrates the 20th Anniversary for the Tales Of Series, Promising "Massive Surprises" This Year
@Baker1000
Not exactly they released Hearts on 3ds. But yeah they did seem to distance themselves after previously having what seemed to be a good relationship.
Edit: I mean DS not 3ds. Whoops!
Re: Bandai Namco Celebrates the 20th Anniversary for the Tales Of Series, Promising "Massive Surprises" This Year
It's possible. They did co develop Smash so maybe they are starting a new friendship.
