This is the part where I take that one funeral scene from The Phantom Pain with the ashes and stuff and edit it to be about Paper Mario.

Holy poo poo, I've been so out of the loop I did not realize the pop idol game my brain immediately tuned out of was the SMT FE crossover.

Wwwwwwwwwtf. Put it on vita.

Apparently it's no longer a crossover but its own thing, which is probably for the best because I didn't see even a little bit of SMT in it in past previews.

Echoing what I said in the general thread but good grief is hyrule Warriors a ton of fun. I couldn't sleep and realised I'd not really booted it up before other than a five minute play where I was concerned my game was broken due to characters lips moving but no voices being heard.

I ended up losing an hour to it. It's kind of huge, isn't it.

Put it this way: there are MMOs out there with less content than Hyrule Warriors.

I didn't know the wii u was unpopular in japan too. I figured persona was a popular enough series that #FE might have sold somewhat similar numbers.

Is the game actually any good?
#FE was outsold 4:1 by Splatoon and SMM in its launch week

The number of consoles isn't the reason it sold like poo poo

Yeah; I was surprised to see #FE go from being "look at our crossover of SMT and FE" to "look at this brand new game which takes some inspiration from and has a couple cameos from SMT and FE"

Was the original pitch mistranslated/misunderstood? Or did something fundamentally change during development?

Atlus tried to do an actual crossover, but it just wasn't working so they went back to the drawing board and did their own thing. I think the director's reasoning was that since they were the ones in charge and not IntSys, it should be a game that played to their strengths instead of something with half-baked crossover mechanics.

The FE series producer directly told them to do something IntSys couldn't instead of an SRPG.

Just so we are clear on this, what exactly was removed from Star Fox Zero? Cause from yesterdays presentation it looks like Nintendo took out all of the dumb gimmick poo poo that people hated when SFZ was shown off last year.

As far as we know, nothing. They didn't SHOW the helicopter / tethered robot sections, but that doesn't mean they took them out.

There are really only two things I want from SFZ:

1. Some unlockable Super loving Hard Mode so I don't blast through the whole game in one week
2. This is a long shot and probably won't happen but I would totally love a survival mode that takes place on an All Range Mode map - just throw billions of enemies at me, star wolf every 10 minutes, see how long I can survive

See that is what I was thinking after the Nintendo Direct. But like that stuff had a huge emphasis last year, and I am just praying that Nintendo was smart enough to take it all out. The delay was because of the overwhelmingly negative feedback Nintendo got from the content they were showing off. From the way they talked yesterday, it seems like this delay was time well spent and Nintendo decided to take SFZ in a different direction. A lot of what they talked about was entirely brand new and I have a feeling added in the last few months.

They showed the gyrocopter prominently in the previous November trailer, after they had announced the delay. That is still in. What they added were more levels, branching paths, control improvements, better graphics and more strategic event location, smart bombs, collectibles, etc.

This new game looks to be the exact same down to the limited attacks and the shop in the main hub area that sells them to you. Also judging by the fact that there's no Toadsworth and just a generic red toad in the intro is kind of hinting that there isn't going to be anything original here character wise either outside that paint bucket thing.

People are being really pissy about Bravely Second's changes too.

From the Direct:
"Metroid Prime: Federation Force is a game that absolutely belongs in the Metroid universe"

I am disappointed that Sharp FE is not delivering on its initial promise, but am interested to see what this original IP has to offer, even if it probably is full of lovely JPOP music and poo poo.

They aren't even dubbing it, they expect it to bomb hard but have to keep giving it Direct space 'cause they hyped it there initially.

Your attacks are now consumable items, there's no exp or anything of the sort.
So you get in a battle and use up your "mega damage jump" sticker and all you get for the fight is like... 5-6 coins so you can walk all the way back to town and rebuy the sticker. Battles with enemies were actively pointless and it was best to just avoid everything to get to the bosses.

The bosses themselves all require "thing" stickers (like the fan) that take up a poo poo ton of room in your inventory. When you face a boss you usually won't know what's effective on it until you encounter it so the game let's you run away from them, go fetch the Thing and usually one shot the boss or make it so it can't even hurt you anymore. If you use the Thing early you have to go all the way back to Toad Town and buy it again or go back and find it in the wild and take it to Toad Town anyway to turn it into a sticker. It's bad.

Also they removed every single original character from it, muted Bowser, cut partners, and just filled everything with Toads and nothing else. No pirate Bob-ombs, Koopa's with triangle shades, anything.

The only real plus is the music and some setpieces were really good.

Sticker Star was a flawed game that I still had a good time with, the game was relatively obtuse about what the best way to play it was. If you played every enemy encounter attempting to finish it in one round to get a perfect to buy more good stickers, it was a cool game. If you used your lovely jumps on everyone because you needed to "save" your good stickers for some reason, I'm sure it was a huge slog.

If it's J-pop poo poo, then it's one of the highest caliber poo poo since the music was made by avex, one of Japan's biggest music companies. Y'know, Ayumi Hamasaki and all that poo poo.
