It's going to suck the day Capcom starts pulling this stuff with the Monster Hunter games.
Wasn't even the best game of this generation IMO.
And A Link to the Past is a better Zelda than Skyward Sword could ever hope to be.
Not that I should expect a PR person to use logic.
Based on the reviews for this so far I wouldn't be surprised if Sony throws some money at TGC to try and get them to become a first party studio.
It may not be a breathe of fresh air; but it will be the most functional/close to console experience Call of Duty to ever be on a handheld which may make quite a few people consider a Vita purchase.
I'm glad Sony is keeping tabs on what's going on in the hacking/homebrew scene so they can mitigate any damage.
I love this series so much. Probably the most important games in the evolution of platforming games since Super Mario 64 and the Spyro games.
Just my personal opinions on the article.
"Expand the Lylat System, Expand the Lore."
I've always felt Nintendo's franchise are really good because they stay simple and are accessible no matter who picks the game up. More characters and such could be cool, but creating a Mass Effect type universe seems a tad unnecessary, especially when none of the characters are really mutli-dimensional and tend to follow basic archetypes (Fox-Cool Headed Hero; Pepp...
OH HELL YES.
I still have both complete editions for ps1 but would love to play this on my PSP or Vita (if it gets support).
Except the series's story isn't deep; it's just a bunch of shallow side stories attached to a slightly deeper overarching plot to create a poorly constructed narrative encompassing all of the above. Hell most of Kingdom Heart's characters are relatively one dimensional or clichéd.
The games are good, I'm not hating on the way it plays; but the half-assed story telling and progressively more obvious we-made-it-up-as-we-went-along -for-money plot points (Xion, M...
The butthurt in the comments section of the IGN page is legendary.
Don't kid yourself into thinking this game's story is anything but garbage.
The series had a simple story that due to Square Enix wanting to milk the series to fill their pockets by tagging on half assed side stories and unnecessary plot additions (Mark of Mastery exams are you fucking kidding) has become a cluster fuck of ideas it seems like a fourth grader came up with.
Do these plot points line up and have connections? Yes. Are they good, hell no. It's not that ...
I don't know about all of you, but I don't want to live in a single platform world.
I only keep buying these games because I want closure to the series. The games are great as far as being fun, but the plot has only gotten progressively worse with each new iteration with new games being released to just expand on side stories I wasn't interested in in the first place.
I'll always remember Kingdom Hearts as the series with great potential ruined by Square Enix's greed.
Looks like my Wii is going to get a good amount of use this year.
Hopefully people will actually BUY it so Nintendo of America will put effort into getting these games over here.
I can just imagine a Nintendo meeting...
"This game just got released, think we should publish it?"
"Not so fast, let's say we won't and see how many people cry about it on the internet for 3 months, then decide."
"Great thinking sir!"
Because those are core titles right?
@Ronin- On a portable no. Unless you want to play it on the 3DS with its joke of a screen size, inadequate amount of input controls, lousy infrastructure and antiquated-by-console-standard s hardware.
@Elemental- Yes, because marketing the ability to be able to play the most popular fps of the modern age on the go anywhere, anytime won't attract any attention from any of the several millions of consumers who bought Modern Warfare 3.
Have fun playing your ...
For the hardware inside it that price is more than reasonable. They really need to include a card with though, I dropped 100 bucks on a 32 gig and 40 on Hot Shots Golf. 400+ dollars is a pretty penny for a point of entry for people only slightly interested in one.
Though if they do a Super Mario 3D Land thing with Super Mario World I will throw large amounts of money at Nintendo.
Just release a new Virtua Fighter so this gen can end with a 3D fighter that isn't a bad joke.
