I remember being obsessed with this game on the original Animal Crossing for the GCN. I'm glad they are releasing an updated version.
I find it funny that everyone expects Nintendo to coming out with new ideas...and yet is perfectly fine when Bungie announced two more Halo games or stuff like that.
This was probably the one franchise I wasn't expecting...
Not sure about the other two...but SM64 being 30+ hours long? Not if you speed run it since you only need like half as many stars or something to face the third Bowser.
My guesses, the game is a six hours romp if you're awesome at it, and since most people out there are saying that game is going to be hard, probably going to be more than six hours for the average gamer.
Good. Every game should probably use some elements of Zelda.
Most, if not all games, with the freedom to explore have to have some kind of indicator of where to go. The reasoning is simple to: player gets lost, player gets bored, bad reviews all around.
But almost every good idea has skeptics at first. I know that no movie studio would take the original script for Star Wars at first.
So I read in the UK, they use the whole number system when rating games. Meaning 5 is the average and 7 and up are very good good games. If that's the case, then no only do the reviews make a bit more sense, but that also means Metacritic is, once again, proven to be a flawed system.
Well..you have to account for the fact that not all of them are the typical gamer. That's why the HD systems can't even compare to those numbers right? Next, you have to consider that on all three systems, big top selling games are either sequels to established franchises or heavily marketed...I don't think Muramasa was one of them. Then, you have to consider that most gamers fear the unfamiliar, that explains the sequel thing and why a slew of games out there are FPS games or drivers, etc. M...
I think it's insulting to developers that people are too caught up in this strange devotion to certain consoles that they will knowingly ignore good games for some odd reason.
No More Heroes sold well enough apparently, enough to warrant a sequel anyways, and I'm pretty sure so did Muramasa....House of the Dead also sold enough to make a profit.
I'll have to admit, the Wii doesn't sell hardcore games like the other consoles do, and mainly because it offers a wider demographic (which includes hardcore gamers, if you don't see it by now you are truly blind), but to say they don't outright sell doesn't make any sense, since most developers are still hard...
What was that? Sorry, I was too busy playing Metroid Prime Trilogy, Super Mario Galaxy, No More Heroes, Little King's Story, Muramasa: The Demon Blade, Fire Emblem: Radiant Dawn, Madworld, House of the Dead, The Conduit, Dead Space Extraction, Twilight Princess, A Boy and his Blob, Warioland, Red Steel, Mario Kart Wii, and other games to really hear you, can you say it again?
Oh wait, Monster Hunter 3, Red Steel 2, Metroid: Other M, Super Mario Galaxy 2, Final Fantasy Crystal Be...
It's on my Christmas list, jeez, sorry to let you down EA. Maybe if you guys fix the economy so I can actually get a part-time job, then I'll buy your game.
Trust me, if it's an established franchise then we're all expecting it. All anyone has done for the last three years is moan about lack of F-Zero, Star Fox, Pikmin, Zelda, Kid Icarus, etc.
It's funny, after seeing this review, Gametrailers just wanted me to have this game even more. The remix soundtrack is amazing (look it up on Youtube) and the recreated dream stages look absolutely fun to play. I tend not to listen to reviewers who say controls are bad, simply because I've played a ton of games where the controls are "bad" or "unresponsive" and have ultimately come to realize that the reviewers are probably doing it wrong or suck at video games, because I ...
Wii games have long legs. That's how they sell, as opposed to being in short bursts. Dead Space Extraction is on my Christmas list, so give I think people need to give it sometime.
Really, no achievements or trophies? Has that really become a motivator for finishing a game?
It's a joke, as someone else pointed out earlier, and due to the fact that it's he laughed and put in "Wario would have to fart every time he walked"...
Has anyone considered that a possible, and probably more likely reason to this, is that you're rescuing Peach in a classic Mario style?
*yawn*
I don't think he ever "had" it...but you know, he's the kind of guy that finds fun in the simplest things, which you can really tell in his video games. I got respect the man for keeping his fun simple.
Last I checked, the pokemon franchise is still awfully strong.
