Retro gaming's focus was pure gameplay
Current gaming's focus is storytelling/cinematics
While it's great to have both ... if I had to choose ... I choose a game with great pure gameplay over a game who's focus is on trying to be more of a movie than a game.
This is either a misquote or miscommunication.
5 people in Japan are going to be VERY disappointed about this.
My list ...
Donkey Kong Country Tropical Freeze
Donkey Kong Country 2
Donkey Kong Country Returns
Donkey Kong Country 3
Donkey Kong Jungle Beat (This is were it places if counted)
Donkey Kong Country
Donkey Kong 64 (This is were it places if counted)
I think Jungle Beat is vastly overlooked ... it was super creative and brilliant.
Donkey Kong 64 was a good game that did too much focus on collec...
Titanfall doesnt appear to be visually taxing in any area though.
Then u should have prefered if there were no next gen systems. Watchdogs, Call of Duty, Assassins Creed, Titanfall, Metal Gear Solid V are all on last gen
I always felt Jeff Grutsman was one of the absolute worst reviewers though.
awesome to see a publisher show you an early look at a game that will look and play as good or better than that when you finally get it yourself. Kudos to Retro and Nintendo.
Guess what .. u just fed this article too just like I have now.
One game only ouch .... well ... on the brightside it at least looks like it will be a good game.
Then why does he bother even reviewing games if he wants publisher's to do games to please themselves rather than the reviewers as he says in the first link you posted. Sounds ... dumb.
Mario Kart Wii online was awesome until the hackers started to grow in numbers.
No Shovel Knight???
No one noticed the topic's typo?
Xbox division's new boss "IN" the guy who reportedly wanted to sell it off
as a complimentary console it's great and will have some more BIG games coming. It's just not good as a main console due to lack of third party support or horrible lazy ports. The 1st and 2nd party stuff is fantastic so far and will only keep getting better. So yea ... go for it.
Outstanding exclusives already out:
Wonderful 101 (if you love Bayonetta and stylish action ... give this very unique brawler a shot)
Super Mario 3D World
Donkey Ko...
Cool I guess ...
And Madden, Assassin's Creed, Battlefield, Gears of War, Uncharted, Ratchet and Clank, God of War, Street Fighter Vs X Ultra Hyper Fighter 2 Turbo Arcade Edition ... etc etc.
Successful franchises get sequels ... not Nintendo's fault that they as a single publisher has the more successful franchises than anyone else. They actually abuse their franchises a lot less than most publishers do with their annual releases.
But of course the Gamespot article has more comments than this ... shows you that people talk more about bad news than good news.
@DragonKnight ... I stand corrected. You are right. Thanks.

Giving you a bubble up vote for not only being correct but by not being a jerk like a lot of posters would in the same situation.
Street Fighter is "watchable" ???
What a terrible list.
