Have a little five minute tutorial that teaches you how to attack and pick up herbs/carve monsters and there, Great Jaggi fight. If you can't beat the G.Jaggi the game will kindly ask you to return it to gamestop unless you want to avoid further embarrassment.

That isn't elitist at all. Try to remember how hard your first hunts were. Pretty hard to remember, right? The tutorial should stay, but there should be a Great Jaggi hunt to prove that you don't need hand holding during the tutorial. Like a "oh hey that is one dead Jaggi come home lets get you to rank 3 instantly."

I hope you're prepared for the WiiU ports of all that "uninspired poo poo" like Bioshock, Mass Effect, Arkham and Borderlands.

Paper Jam was right, I said MOST. Also, I find Bioshock to be among those uninspired shits. :)

The statement only holds true because it is true of most games in general. Name another game engine with 4 franchises from 4 different developers like that.

Also, if you don't like Bioshock Edoraz, what about Mortal Kombat, XCOM Enemy Unknown, Dishonored, Bulletstorm (all different developers again). These are the kinds of games and developers that allow a system to keep its momentum going when a huge 1st party game isn't slated for a nearby release. Unreal Engine support is hugely important in that regard and has become ingrained in many development houses.

Alright, you got me, those are good games coming out or are out. I think its time for developers to own up and make actual good games, though. All the graphics and shortcuts in the world can't save you from making a bad game if it has no design sense towards fun. I'm just a little burnt from the Xbox/PS2 to early PS3/360 age.

I probably judge this poo poo too harshly, and get mad at video games when I shouldn't. Angry classic gamer?

Hideo Kojima said today his favorite game is Zelda: A Link to the Past. How much do I need to pay Nintendo to hire Kojima's studio to make the next Zelda?

Are you sure it wasn't Keiji Inafune, Mega Man's creator?

Also, I would hate Hideo Kojima forever if he took one of his proverbial shits all over Zelda. Metal Gear Solid 4 was terrible enough, I don't need an hour long cutscene of the creation of Hyrule from the standpoint of an evil money grubbing corporation Ganon Corp as it brainwashes the masses with NANOTECHNOLOGY.

From what I heard a lot of the characters were DLC, that might leave a bitter taste in your mouth if you really wanted to play as Ulala or some other obscure character. Other than that the game looked okay to me.

...nooooooooo? Most of the characters were UNLOCKABLES, that you didn't have to PAY MONEY WITH. It wasn't even that obnoxious. It felt like you were rewarded for playing the game.

There was only one DLC character and track. Metal Sonic and the Death Egg Station or something like that.

Maybe I shouldn't have said brawl vs. melee, more like people who don't think Smash bros should be a fighting game vs. people who think it can be both a fighter and a party game.

But yeah, let's end the discussion here. Sorry.

I wonder what kind of art style the game will adopt. Will it look something like playstation all stars? I've seen people playing it and I don't know, all the models look like they bathed in grease, and they sort of clash with the backgrounds.

Then again, it's insanely difficult to take all these different characters from different games and genres and make them all blend together. The people behind the art in MvC3 are geniuses.

I think they've done well with the art style since Melee and Original. It's kind of all over the place with Brawl. I hope this game returns to its roots better, that's all I'm saying don't turn this into a drat Melee vs Brawl / Casuals vs Tourney Player sort of thing.

I had a feeling it was something like that. It's not like I could say with a fact that I could buy a working headset that I could rely on on launch.

Call corporate and let them know. They're going to have to roll the thing out the next time their Area Manager/a Nintendo rep (rarely, but it happens) comes by anyways because Nintendo is paying good cash for these machines to be placed and if GameStop doesn't comply they're in serious poo poo.

I love my store's reason for having it turned against the wall and unplugged: little kids tore the poo poo out of first 3DS display, and when I was working there I was constantly cleaning it from finger prints and other bodily fluids. The poor thing eventually broke to the little mongrels, I believe, but I left waaaaaaaaay before I could see that happening. Bet it was one of the regular temper tantrums we get. "I DON'T WANNA LEAVE *so I'll just grab the nearest stack of games and throw it to the ground*"

We kept the Vita in the glass display box, we are keeping the Wii U off. District Manager gave/gives no fucks.

It's easy to understand where they went wrong with Star Fox, but F-Zero? The big complaint about the last one was that it was too hard, so... make it a little easier?

No, make it harder. That is the only way forward. And you get a controller like you did for Steel Battalion. And each car has a different way to start their engines, and if you fail YOU EXPLODE. :black101: If you turn incorrectly while braking and maintaining a nice cruising speed to keep an uplift, YOU EXPLODE. :black101: You finish the race in first place, but you were one nanosecond too slow to beat the world record, YOU DISAPPOINT. :smith:

Not all WiiU games will be able to be played exclusively on the tablet, correct?

I only have 1 TV in my house, and if all games were playable on the tablet, that would make multi-platform games like Assassins Creed 3 or Black Ops a no-brainier for the WiiU (assuming all other things being equal across platforms.)

Unfortunately, it seems like this isn't the case. Is there a list anywhere of what games can be taken "off tv" and which can't?

It's the developer's choice. The New Super Mario Bras and Sonic Racing Transformed are two I know of that can be played on the pad exclusively.

I generally takes those as "Oh, yeah, I wish they did this this and this, but man that doesn't subtract the quality and fun from this game, just makes me hopeful for the sequel."


...

I'm trying to be hopelessly optimistic, honestly. :sweatdrop: The recent trailers made me go from "Meh, I'll catch it on rental with my friends." to "Well Played, Nintendo, seems another spot of cash has gone missing from my wallet." Hopefully the game lives up to the scores and it wasn't Nintendo trying to cash them off. I mean, if it was, wouldn't Nintendland get better scores, too?

GameStop, honestly. You are around at least 25% like minded individuals, the rest negative spread. There is a really low chance you will meet someone worth talking to standing in line freezing your rear end off at BestBuy or Target.
