Is 1001 spikes any good?

My friends and I have been looking for another Meat Boy-esque platformer. We want to drink, pass the controller, and laugh at each other getting wrecked by a game that is trial and error platforming at its finest.

It's amazing to me that Rogue Leaders didn't leak at the time, before Factor 5 went bankrupt. I mean, isn't that what devs do when they're desperate or think they're being hosed over - leak your game and hope it creates a public demand for your game or some kind of response from the publisher?

Because motherfucking Disney would let that, or any unauthorized use of the Star Wars licence, happen.

It wasn't Disney at the time, but if my company was going bankrupt, the last thing on my mind would be to gently caress with whoever was holding the Star Wars license at the time.

Oh drat, here's some pretty nice news.

Digital versions of Wii U and 3DS games can now be bought from Nintendo's website in North America (go to the Games tab, search for a game). Now, in the future, when someone's just bought a Wii U or is planning to buy one and sees some games on sale but doesn't have the system yet, we don't have to tell them, "Sorry, Nintendo's website is dumb and you actually can't buy games from it like you can for other platforms!" At least, if they're in North America.

Nintendo's had a thing kinda like this in the UK for like a year now but the selection is pretty limited and it's mostly just first party stuff. I also don't think we get the thing where you can send the download to your console

If the Factor 5 guy is to be believed, the game was self-financed by Factor 5 and when they started having financial issues due to other projects they asked LucasArts for financial assistance, but LucasArts declined because they knew they'd be given the game for free if they just waited for Factor 5 to declare bankruptcy. I don't think they had anything to lose, really.

If this had happened more recently I bet they could have gotten assistance from Nintendo, but back then, no way in hell Nintendo's lifting a finger.

You picked up a green shell! This can be used to hit opponents! Use ZL to fire it. If you hit someone with the shell, it will help you get ahead of them. But be careful it doesn't bounce off something or it may hit you! This will be bad because you will have to stop briefly.

Villager in Smash has several skins/costumes and iirc at least one of them looks quite similar to that, actually.

Not really? Either way, it's not his default look which they modeled his amiibo after. Seems like a missed opportunity.

It's probably a Nintendo thing to keep there from being one default villager in people's minds.

Foul villain! I do not flee. I will never turn my back on you and run away!

[he says, running away]
Smash Villager is the City Folk/Wild World/original one, whereas Mario Kart Villager is New Leaf. The question is really why isn't Smash Villager the New Leaf one as well.

Is that picture for Link in Mario Kart because I may actually cry if we're getting an Epona bike.

edit: oh goodness it is, crying commences

I played one level at Comic Con and yeah it's pretty cool. I love that there are two jump buttons- one for a full jump and the other for a half-height jump. That's a pretty good clue as to the design philosophy.

Just so people know, 1001 Spikes has a bunch of bugs that still haven't been patched and I don't think they ever got around to adding the promised off-tv mode, either.

By going with the bedhead hairstyle, this villager can be androgynous. I don't know if that was the reason but it works.
