Speaking of character customisation, Tearaway lets you completely change your characters' face. No matter where or how many eyes or mouths you have, Atio or Iota will still express themselves in cutscenes.

Cool, I've thought that character customization is pretty limited for a long time. Like, why can't my character have 7 eyes, all over their body (well, okay, at least their head)? why can't I put a single eyebrow over my character's third ear? Why does the mouth have to be below the nose? Why does the nose have to be narrower than the face?

Those kinds of things could potentially make my character look dumb, but so what? And anyway, usually my gripes have been that "I just want to make the nose slightly longer, but I've already maxed out the slider"

You know how skyward sword had the horrible motion controls?

Well, The Legend of Zelda: The Next One has to shoehorn some dumb tablet gimmick in there.

Granted, it could be something mostly harmless, like inventory management or map, but more likely they will have some annoying accessory you have to use constantly.

e: Oh man, I hope they revisit Phantom hourglass and have the whole game be played with the touch screen.

Handhelds. The PS4 is going to do better than the Wii U almost certainly but there's a pretty good chance it's going to not exactly set the world on fire over there despite having no meaningful competition and a better launch lineup than the US release. That isn't an excuse for the Wii U's drastic underperformance but the Japanese gaming market is very quickly moving to handheld and mobile devices. (And has been for a while.)

Or it could simply be that PS3 is ancient and the alternatives are Wii (also ancient), Xbox 360 (:lol: and ancient), Wii U (:laffo:) and I guess in the future Xbone (:newlol:)

Went to see Frozen earlier, ads before the movie: Mario & Sonic at Sochi, Super Mario 3D world, and several Lego-related ads, both playsets and video games (on Wii U and 3DS). No other consoles advertised. Wii U is for babbys who watch Disney movies and play with Legos.

Generally what makes me dislike old LoZ games is the lack of direction and how you're supposed to wander around and hope you get to the right point eventually. It's tedious and annoying, and I don't know a single person IRL who hasn't admitted to using Nintendo Power to figure out how to beat them when they first played.

I actually have only seen Links Awakening once, and very briefly played it, so it was a bad example for me to use maybe.
ilar combat and gameplay but with less wandering and needing a guide to figure out where to go.

Link's awakening was pretty handholdy for its time. Every time you complete a dungeon, you will get a hint on where to go next, and there is that phone booth you can visit to get a hint on what to do next. So yeah, it's a bad example

Even if they hire more people, it is pointless to hire more people to invest in a game that is fairly unlikely to be worth the investment. They would be better off using new people to increase productivity on their more popular franchises or to invest in a new IP.

Well if the lack of workforce has been the reason they have been so slow to release games, they need to start hiring more people anyway.

Holy loving poo poo this. My big brother seemed to think that plugging a coaxial cable from the wall to the back of a set-top box and then a scart cable from the set top box to a tv is some kind of dark magic.

I'm sure he would have been just fine if he had to connect a garden hose to, idk, a water filter and then another hose from the filter to a pool.

That Frostbite tweet wasn't very funny coming from an official account. It wasn't friendly ribbing, it was just kicking someone when they are down. And besides, tweeting "your console a poo poo" to one manufacturer is bad policy anyways. If Nintendo manages to pull anothe Wii-like success form their arse in a few years, that tweet (or the attitude it reveals) could bite Dice in the rear end.

It is an outrage! This tweet shows the moral degradation of our once outstanding video game corporations. It is slander, it is ugly and invites the full wrath of Nintendo as an entity, as well as it should. With as much righteous indignation I ask how can a company like Frostbite dare to utter such lies about Nintendo to whom Frostbite owes everything to. Their actions will cause a bitter fallout which the industry will feel for quite some time. I for one believe that their rank, juvenile behavior is the height of baseness and I won't stand for it.

Okay, everyone who wants me to buy W101 of Bayonetta because I think Hyrule warriors looks good seems to think that because you beat dudes in HW, and you beat dudes in W101 and Bayonetta, they're the same.

In DW/HW, you press butan and 30 people die and their corpses fly everywhere and knock other people down.

In W101 and Bayonetta you actually have have to know what button to press and when to press them of the game will kick your rear end.

Also in DW when they give orders like "go defend the cheese storage", I'm like "Is that my or some other dude's name?" because there are like 80 characters and I'm apparently super bad with Chinese names.

It was better than i expected after I learned it didn't have traditional controls (after starting the game), but it was still the worst Zelda. Didn't buy spirit tracks because I disliked the Phantom Hourglass so much.

I beat it, but it was definitely not "awesome"
