Travis is definitely integral to NMH. I think if a spin-off were made where he's not the playable character, it would still work if he's an important NPC or a core part of the story.
Suda also said he'd be down to make a game where Shinobu is the main character, and she's super popular among the NMH fan base. So while the series is pretty niche, that niche audience has an appreciation for a lot of the characters (especially Shinobu).
So wh...
I totally get the sentiment, and I agree to a certain degree that these character action games feel a certain type of special because they focus on a single character most of the time. That said, given NMH's lore and other rad characters like Shinobu and Bad Girl, I'd say that universe could definitely be explored from a different character's perspective and still be super badass.
It's def one of the 2021's must-plays!
Indeed.
It's a really cool game!
Some really great picks! Though my placement of a few would be a little different, this is an awesome list. And much respect to the high placement of Majora's Mask!
Nah.
Well, it's called an opinion piece. Those are kind of a thing. Websites do them all the time. Kind of like how people leave comments on articles saying they don't know why said articles were written.
Thank you, Your Honor.
I'm a wait-and-see kind of person, but from what I've seen of Godfall, it looks like a game I'd enjoy.
Get it on PS4, too. We'll co-op that thing like the good ol' days!
I agree.
I mean, to be fair, these are just five announcements *I* would want. Had it been a "top 10 announcements I want at E3," Metroid would've likely made the cut.
I just personally like stuff like Wario, DK, and Yoshi more -- though much love to Metroid, too!
Ryan is and will forever be missed. I still enjoyed GB up until the end, and it was seeing the different directions it would go in over the years while still staying true to that original feel that hooked me in to begin with.
Yeah, it took a while for it to really sink in. It's definitely the end of something special.
I get that. In the article I talk about how I'd prefer a gameplay engine more in line with that of DOR's -- not necessarily the exact engine. And honestly, with a few exceptions here and there (pixel audience, for example), I'd argue that the newer WWE 2K games hardly look much better than DOR did.
Fair enough.
Naw, dude, he died. Burnt to a crisp.
You might be on to something there.
Great point! I'd like to think it's a combination of both: You conquer it, but it does take a little bit of your soul (no pun intended).
