I mean I do agree that Nintendo needs more platformers because platformers are the best type of game genre and Nintendo typically knocks it out of the park when it comes to them BUT Splatoon is fine with what it is edit: worst genre is rts

How much would you pay for an ancient can of Spaghetti-Os promoting Super Mario World?

The Taint Reaper posted:Are people going to lose their poo poo over Bayonetta then? I mean hell they're funding 2. Well, people definitely got upset over Bayonetta 2 being funded by Nintendo, but I think those reasons were entirely different.... In any case, for anyone who was actually interested in it, Cubemen 2 finally has a release date (Sept. 4, 2014), so that's been added to the OP. In addition, Disney Infinity will be free to download on the eShop, starting today. You'll still need a figure and base to play of course, but at least now you only have to pay for the horrifically overpriced figures instead of both the horrifically overpriced figures and game. edit: Also, for the first time (I think), we've got a third party including level sharing via Miiverse on the Wii U, so that's really neat to see someone other than Nintendo taking advantage of that!

"I wish it was *insert something COMPLETELY different*". Like, if you watch Chopped on the Food Network, when it gets to the dessert round and Amanda Freitag is a a judge, she always says something like "I was hoping for chocolate," when the person made, let's say, a passionfruit creme-brulee. It's like "I made a loving passionfruit creme-brulee, I had no plan at any point to use chocolate, why are you faulting me for not using chocolate?" I can guarantee that that game came into being because they wanted to make a fun online competitive shooter. That's the starting point and the rest of the game comes from it. It's not a legitimate criticism to say "I wish it was a platformer," when they only reason the game exists in the first place was because they had the idea to make an online competitive shooter. That's a really cool car you made, Ferrari, but I wish it was a vaccuum.

Is there anything else out there similar to the Zelda minigame in Nintendo Land? Neither my mom nor my girlfriend ever play games but they both loving love chopping up pigs in that minigame, and it's kind of a bummer to reach the last level. With the Wii remote style of motion controls having fizzled out I doubt a full sequel game or any similar kind of swordy game will be coming out. I would seriously buy DLC levels for that thing.

I've kinda always wanted to get in on this because my fiancee and I both love Disney, but it's way more expensive than most video game hobbying. I guess the question here is can you even get the base separately? I've never seen it separate from the game.

Skyward Sword and (I think) Wii Sports Resort use the same type of controls for their swordplay, but other than that, I'm not sure what game combines that control scheme with an on-rails type of action.

Actually, I'm pretty darn sure you can get the base separately. That said, it does look like the 1.0 and 2.0 bases will have slightly different functionalities, but a rep claimed that there will be a retail solution for those with the 1.0 base. edit: Not to mention that I'd imagine they'll start making 2.0 bases available separately soon enough.

Honestly, no nerds on the internet, not even IGN, should be worried about Splatoon. Nintendo's M.O. on Wii U games that they announce SUPER early is to make passable trailers that are underwhelming as all hell in comparison to how decent the games are when they come out. It happened with 3D World. It happened with Tropical Freeze. It didn't happen with Mario Kart 8, but who cares. It should be obvious that a game we've seen gameplay of one level in one mode of will probably be full of alot more content closer to release.

Crawfish posted:It didn't happen with Mario Kart 8, but who cares. Also, they didn't announce 3D World "super early," they announced it less than half a year before release. edit: actually, TF was technically announced the same time as 3D World and was MEANT to be released at the same time, though it ended up coming 2-3 months later. Still significantly less than a year between announcement and release. Ultigonio fucked around with this message at 16:39 on Aug 21, 2014 |

I still think a Wario game in the style of Mario Sunshine would be really rad. You wouldn't have the game breaking jetpack but you'd have all the Wario Land moves and being lit on fire or turning into a zombie, etc. And use those powers to traverse to collect stars.

Naturally! I'm saying literally build a Mario 64/Sunshine-type game by Nintendo EAD but design it around Wario and his Wario Land moveset and enemies. You can even have stars, but instead of collecting them to save the world, Wario is hoarding them in his vault or flipping them on the black market for some quick cash. So instead of requiring 20 stars to unlock a level in the hub area, you just bribe someone to look the other way and let you in.

Sure, I can agree with that. In general, I'd like Nintendo to allow one of their external devs to approach 3D platforming again. I guess they just don't wanna' 'cause the genre's considered "niche" nowadays if your box doesn't have Mario or Sonic on it, and it requires a pretty decent amount of time and money to make a good-sized 3D platformer that isn't filled to the brim with padding while also controlling well and so on and so forth.

Ultigonio posted:No explicit statement, but there's this and also my hope that their Tokyo division wouldn't be horrifyingly unoriginal enough to do a sequel to a sequel for a 3D Mario. quote:"Now that's not to say that we may not make more games in the vein of Super Mario Galaxy in the future. I'd certainly like to consider that possibility. But our goal right now is to expose as many people as possible to this type of gameplay in a 3D World. And I think what we've come up with here is the most balanced system in which to do this." It sounds more like "Yeah we COULD do more Galaxy-type games, but we like this type of Mario more right now".

We were talking about Pikmin 3 towards the end of the old thread. Just thought I'd pop in and let you all know I started a Pikmin 3 LP this morning. We're going in pretty blind, and we'll be playing through the entire story over the next few months. If you're on the fence about that game, go ahead and give it a watch. Besides some of the ground textures, that game is just... pretty.

Just got my WiiU back from Nintendo with a big fat stupid letter saying it was diagnosed as No Fault Found, despite it still not reading any discs. Goddamnit! All the guy on the phone could say was that it probably worked with the discs they used, which makes no sense to me since all my discs stopped working at exactly the same time and they were all fairly varied in terms of publisher and stuff so what the gently caress? It feels like I've been bullshitted, but at the same time why would they do that, and how would the processes allow that? But on the other hand, how is it possible that a fairly unambiguous problem of every disc coming up as invalid not be reproducible? This time I've sent one of my games with it, but that still feels pointless. I just want to play some sweet Nintendo games
