you know, if Anarchy Reigns had ever gotten a single advertisement, we'd probably be seeing a sequel (or a new game like MadWorld) on the WiiU. Holy poo poo, that game came out three years ago, it feels like it was released last year.

the wii being a cheap 360p hunk of plastic with waggle sticks and selling out everywhere and everyone souring on it 9 months later and putting it at the bottom of their closet, and nintendo continuing to make half-baked toys with their franchises e.g. star fox: zero buys, metroid: touchscreen poo poo shooter, animal crossing: amiibo pyramid scheme festival, mario: the same poo poo you seen on the SNES and 64 but shorter and less distinctive, have really crapped on the perception of their products. my advice is they need to make something good and prima facie impressive that doesnt seem like a waggle stick stuffed into a 3d-printed plastic tablet hobby kit, instead of making bad things

They should release a proper Animal Crossig

Many attempts to play Soul Caliber 2 and Mega Man Anniversary Collection say otherwise. The controller is fine for games that were specifically built around it (Smash, Luigi's Mansion) but pretty awful for almost everything else.

Megaman was on whoever decided to reverse the controls and not let you remap them. I still bitch about that and it's been well over a decade.

I'd be fine with a mobile Animal Crossing. It would depend how they go about it though.

Hereby it is manifest that during the time men live without a common power to keep them all in awe, they are in that condition which is called war; and such a war as is of every man against every man.

I played through and beat this game about a month ago.

It's...I mean it can be fun at times, but I wouldn't call it a gem. I think it's just a total letdown compared to No More Heroes.

no video game console developer would ever actively waste its loving time implementing an sli configuration

let me just actively expose the combined cpu gpu chip to system level outside attacks through a direct port that requires no warranty stickers to be removed to even access

Only problem with GC controller is the lack of a 4th shoulder button. Absolutely perfect layout and ergo otherwise. Unless you're some mutant whose thumbs naturally rest upon the d-pad/c-stick zone like the DS1/2/3 foolishly expected them to.

Maybe we'll luck out and the series will be good again after 3 games.
Until then I'll take solace in the thought that Kirby won't let me down.

It's very funny and has good scenarios. But like, a section where you have to grind points on a wheel until you can scheme your way out of essentially a gold farming factory is very funny on paper, fun to read about, and fun to watch a truncated version, but not actually fun to play through.

But what do I know, I actually liked Sticker Star.

Chapter 4 is heinously boring until you get to the last level
Chapter 5 has uninteresting environmental and level design in general
Chapter 6 starts out promising, but after the world gets destroyed you go back and walk through an empty wasteland for like five minutes or more

The only ones I'd say were any good are 3 and 8, maybe 7 too
