I saw the papercraft cutscenes and was like "That looks really neat!" But the game itself looks so bad visually that it baffles me that it's getting so much praise. It looks super slow and like something I'd find on newgrounds and I'm just so confused on it

Mercury Crusader posted:Haha, I forgot about that. It did show up the same day as the game appearing on the VC. Trailers should hype something coming soon! Currently running Wind Waker on Dolphin, I realize I forgot how pretty this game is. It's like a playable late-90s Disney movie. Too bad computer can no longer grok it once I get to Windfall Island. I need to experience the rest of this in HD, dammit. I guess I'll be getting the Wii U version. Chaltab fucked around with this message at 04:51 on Aug 3, 2013 |

Its only 400 coins. That's actually not too bad. No Blue Pikmin though.

This gives me hope that they'll roll out some Zelda rewards for the Windwaker launch. I like the tote bag a lot, I just don't think I'd ever use it.

Has Nintendo ever released those Pikmin plushies to the public? I swear it's a running in-joke to see how many new and different ways they can taunt us with the drat things.

I'd love if they took that opportunity to also begin rolling out N64 games just so they could get Majora's Mask and OoT on there so they could have all the major classic Zelda's at once (I wouldn't count on GBA games yet and even then it'd only be Minish Cap no doubt). Hell maybe they could use the two Zelda releases as an excuse to re-release Zelda: Four Swords on the 3DS, maybe permanently for that matter. Or a sale like "Buy two Zelda's get the third %50 off." I don't know, I'm just hypothesizing stuff, except Nintendo probably wouldn't do anything like that.

bilperkins2 posted:The game I've been working on just came out yesterday on the eShop, here's the cheesy-rear end trailer Nintendo made for the launch: I was just watching the trailers on the eShop earlier today. The game looks hard as gently caress. I do like the concept but the trailer is probably going to scare away a lot of casuals. 90% of the trailer looks like it's impossible.

I've seen them in toy stores in Japan as well as a bulborb with an inner linning so it could eat the pikmin.

I bought a GBA, GBA Sp, Game Boy Player(contained GBA hardware inside), DS, and DS Lite, so overall purchased the GBA hardware five times. Also had a Game Boy and Game boy color and Super Gameboy, so that's... 6 systems that can play Game Boy games, 4 systems that can play GBC games, 5 GBA, and since I have a 3DS XL now, that's been 3 DS playing systems. Nintendo is loving great at getting you to rebuy hardware. I guess technically I have had three systems that can play Gamecube games now, since apparently that actually is possible on Wii-U if you sideload a GC game and get a blutooth controller recognized.

It's more that Japan as a country is obsessed with cuteness, I think. Which Americans might not find as appealing.

Americans hate cutesy bullshit, but planting a scowl on a pink puffball's face makes it more rugged and thus more acceptable. It sounds cynical, but there's probably binders full of focus testing to back it up. And yes, it does paint a sad portrait of our culture.

Am I the only one who seriously cannot play Kid Icarus without my knuckles from locking up in intense pain? Is it better on an XL or something? I haven't touched the game in over a year because it's just not worth the cramps and stretching my fingers out for over an hour. I recognize the game IS a lot of fun but putting this game on the 3DS was a terrible idea.

Knowing Sakurai, it would have every kind of control scheme, all heavily customizable. Dual-analog, IR, and touch-aiming. Everybody wins! But unless they put someone else on it, dev probably wouldn't start until late 2014.

Pretty sure Sakurai right now does not sleep and is being worked to an eventual early grave on Smash Bros. and a secret Kid Icarus game to be shown at E3 2014.

So Pikmin 3, releases tomorrow. Last game I bought for the Wii U (not including New Super Luigi U DLC) was MH3U on Amazon and like a week after I got it I read that target had a buy 2 get 1 free or something like that special going on for Wii U games. Should I sit tight and wait for Wonderful 101 and Mario Kart and hope for a buy 2 deal or should I pull the trigger? It's not that I can't afford it, it's that I hate paying full price and then getting screwed shortly thereafter.
