The best thing about Tales of the Abyss are the Sentai costumes. Too bad you have to beat the game once to wear them.

So the Story to Dengeki Bunko is this:

The Sega Dreamcast comes alive to give you the holy quest of saving the animes from being deleted from the internet.


no exaggerations



It even has characters from Valkyria Chronicles and Spice and Wolf.

Yep Dengeki Bunko is just loving insane, just got past the Valkyria Chronicles part. It's literally Anime The Movie: The Fighting Game based on the best selling novel that was also a true story.

Like really why couldn't Nintendo have a Smash brothers campaign mode like this? You also unlock project diva colorations of characters.

Yeah that bothered me, it's really apparent in the new Skylanders game where the Nintendo characters don't talk at all and everyone else in the game does. It feels like a poor translation job even though it's not.

At this point it just comes off as stupid especially since the characters already have voice actors but they don't have them do any real voice acting. The guy who does Mario and Luigi did the Dragon in Skyrim, he has a ton of range, but they never utilize him properly.

Mario always has and always should be a mute, he is literally just an avatar for you to run around and jump on things with. Bowser totally should get to speak again though, he was great in the Paper Mario games and it really was stupid of Miyamoto to spike that because it doesn't fit ~his vision~

Except Mario has spoken in full sentences in rather recent Nintendo Commercials and there's a few where he had a few minutes worth of dialogue. It's too late people know Mario can speak and at this point he needs to do more than just catchphrases.

Like you cannot be inconsistent with things like that and yet they are. It's not a style, it's just poor decisions and lack of direction.

I mean lets look how speaking was handled in Pokemon. The Pokemon themselves still just speak their name outside of a few special cases(and even then those special cases are consistent). With other nitnendo characters it's all over the loving map.

Not really Mario Kart 8 had a ton of new voices.

except they were all stupid poo poo. Why the gently caress does Rosilina say her name? Like she's human and not some sort of monster creature henchman or something where it would fit. She's a loving princess and should probably sound somewhat normal.


I mean they paid good money to re-record a bunch of baby noises for 4 lovely baby characters that nobody wanted.

Also you know what? Both Rayman games had less spoken lines than any of the recent mario games. Yes this is counting all the poo poo they said in pig latin, no screams or anything. Rayman talks less than the Mario guys. Mario 3d World, New Super Mario U, all of them have more words than rayman.


It's too goddamned late Mario is not a mute the cat is out of the bag and there's no going back.

No that was Rayman 2 Revolution which had English. The Original Rayman 2 had voice acting too but it was Pig Latin as well.


Billy West voiced Rayman in the cartoon and he sounded like Fry.

The voice actors for both new Fire Emblem games are top notch though. Both the 3DS ones and the SMT one.

like I don't get why they can do that well but gently caress up everything else. Zelda still has massive huge walls of text that fill the screen like it's the 90's, that should not happen.

The people who scoff at the "less than optimal" performance of consoles are running poo poo systems that they haven't even bothered to upgrade. And all they do is play MOBAS.

because they can't afford consoles, but can't afford better PC hardware either
