That's great and all, but you're bitching about people discussing things on a discussion forum.

It's okay to make fun of people being unfunny or uninteresting. This isn't a funny or interesting "discussion".

Lets go back to the occasional post from people who think Mario Kart 8 is the most beautiful game they have ever seen and the off hand quip about next gen actually starting when the game is released.

VVVV what the hell is that supposed to be?

Yoshi's Island is never going to get a decent sequel, is it

This would almost work if that game weren't developed by Arzest.

Which if anything is just more strong evidence of Nintendo having horrible, horrible taste in the studios it outsources to.

Depends on how it looks to you - it's mediocre at the very best, but it has a handful of good ideas, some nice backgrounds, and a passable soundtrack (save for the three or so awful tracks everyone links when they're talking about the game). Despite the fact that the same melodic ideas get reused throughout the soundtrack, I still find YNI's OST to be less repetitive than that of the original Yoshi's Island. Mandatory tilt controls are stupid, and Yoshi's feet are way too big. There are a kajillion better platformers you could play, but there are probably two kajillion worse (give or take).

I tried to play Other M last week so I could see the much-talked-about lovely story, dialogue, and voice acting but I had to stop. It's just such a loving chore to play- "hey use a dpad for 3d movement also we'll aim for you also you have to point the controller at the screen to fire missiles also sense move may as well be complete invincibility boy aren't you glad we went with a single wiimote scheme instead of doing something more sensible with the nunchuck?"

It's just so bad in every way. I guess it's pretty... for a Wii game. The little execution things where Samus puts an enormous lizard in a headlock and murders its brains are pretty awesome I guess too. Neat idea but gently caress it's a bad game.

Also like Skyward Sword it has an easy to trigger glitch halfway through where you can make it impossible to progress. Unlike SS though instead of a patch the only way to get around it is to restart or to mail your memory card to Nintendo so they can edit your save file.

It's not horrible, but it's incredibly forgettable While Yoshi's Island DS tried to innovate, this game does nothing new and tries to get by on nostalgia of the original classic.

I think Yoshi's New Island looks good visually ingame and in motion, most 3DS games look like total poo poo in screenshots - I thought ALBW looked like total garbage when I saw screenshots of it. That doesn't make up for the awful music though, but it at least looks like a better game than the Yoshis Island for DS that had baby wario or some bullshit

It was announced last year, it's probably still in development. Give it time.
E: To elaborate, they're both small companies, a year might have passed since it's announcement but do you want both teams to poo poo something out in a year or have some time to make a good product?

Why are you people so hung up about tits in vidya games? It's childish and dumb, but childish and dumb has its place in games just as it has in movies, TV, and books. If a game plays well just enjoy the boobs ironically.

The Wii U is just a symbol of certain backwards philosophies that Nintendo have adopted over time. Some of those have manifested in Nintendo's other products and decisions.

What does it even mean to "enjoy the boobs ironically", anyway? Like, that's a weird turn of phrase. Does it mean stroking your dick while telling yourself the whole time that it doesn't really count? Or does it just mean having fun laughing at how stupid they are (aka what people were already doing)?
