Holy crap. Can't these things be hacked like Amiibos?
They can but the company has been way more attentive to shutting down any sites that offer anything for that than Nintendo has, since it's basically their entire revenue stream

and by "they can" i mean in the same way, by making a special programmable one, the store bought ones protect the specific character data

drat, color splash looks so bad. amazing how nintendo managed to gently caress up so many of their IPs like star fox, paper mario, or metroid fed force yet they somehow pulled off finally making a Zelda game that doesn't treat you like a retard for the first time in 20 years

Star fox treats you like a functioning human being who can handle a slight learning curve and yet...

Don't forget putting out a short easy platformer every year that skates by entirely on a gimmicky graphical style and is forgotten within a week.

That description didn't say bad, just short, easy and entirely forgettable outside of graphical style which seems to be a pretty good description of that game.

The yarn kirby games and the clay one are the only ones I can think of besides yarn yoshi, but I get what he means, Nintendo leans real hard on pushing out games for their mascots and their consoles probably would not survive nearly as long or well without so much reliance on them.

Help Im Alive posted:

He did say that but there is no way that's actually true in a "you can finish the game" way. You can go fight ganondorf right from the beginning, and be forced to lose so that you have to play the game the right way, is probably closer to the truth.

I am still annoyed by that name

edit: To sum up how annoying the name is, when I listed mine on SA Mart to sell it, I had to put "NEW 3DS XL" in the thread title because that's what it is, but then I had to go on to specify that it was not a new NEW 3DS, it was a used NEW 3DS. A problem that could have been avoided by just calling the game system something normal

Abbreviate as N3DS? :confused:

That's the best way to avoid confusion, I think.

This Hyrule Warriors you speak of?
The game gets nuts with characters and weapon options, and the content is well done. Koei Tecmo rarely misses its niche.

finished off shantae and the pirates curse tonight. interesting departure from risky's revenge.

traded in the metroidvania structure of the world for more of a mega man style stage-based structure with hidden power ups along the critical path. got rid of the multi layered foreground/background maps. amped up the difficulty considerably in terms of traversal challenges, bosses, and enemy placements.

i hope the newest game later this year is as good as the previous two and keeps innovating.

I'm definitely excited. I actually backed Half-Genie Hero way before I'd even played a single Shantae game. Went on to play Risky's Revenge halfway through last year and wasn't thrilled with it, but saw the appeal. Then I got Pirate's Curse and was just blown away by how great it was. I can't recommend Pirate's Curse enough- it definitely does overdo it on the tit imagery at times, but the game is so much fun I give it a pass.

I'm partially disappointed to be going back to playing Shantae as a genie in HGH, but I think WayForward will make it more fun than Risky's Revenge. Pirate's Curse's pirate attacks were balanced so well that I'd almost prefer to continue with those attacks. Thankfully, it looks like Risky Mode will allow for that, to an extent. :unsmith:
