Thing is, TvsC was essencially attempting to be a serious fighter, while Brawl is a fun party game that people [sonic slicer] about not being able to play seriously.Bitching about a game not being what it's not even trying to be is not something that makes a lot of sense to me. Same applies to offline Brawl discussions.
And in terms of Mario Kart, you and other people may not know this, but it was the first Wii game that got to the point of having... well, a mediocre online system which every single XBox/360/PS3 game had so far. The normal required options, the modes, and the necessary speed to play. At this time, anyone else used to regular online gameplay wasn't pleasantly surprised. I just went "Really? Oh, that's cool, I guess". Identities are really important in online games these days. Having a profile, having an actual way to see what kind of games you play, to be able to play with that person again...See, I wasn't clear on what you meant by "identity". The whole game-specific-code-crap, not knowing what your friends are playing, and all? There's a club for complaining about that. It's called Everybody, they meet at the bar. The 3DS is taking steps to rectify that, though IMHO there is absolutely no reason they shouldn't have had their act together with the Wii.
Seriously? Every single one of my experiences made TvC look like GGPO in comparison to Brawl =/Not me, man. I don't very often see Brawl screw up in a one-on-one (I'm not saying never, I'm just saying 2-3 players is usually stable). And even when Brawl does turn south, the gameplay style in itself tolerates lag better than a traditional fighter does.
Crash Team Racing and Sonic & Sega All-Star Racing are both the superior MASTER RACE KARTERS. =PCrash, I haven't played. Sonic is fun, though the courses seem somewhat less interesting and less well-marked. But the balance is better, gotta give it that.
Yeah, too bad brawlers had one of the worst online services I've EVER seen in a game, and karters, although having the basis of a decent online, without identities, made most of it irrelevant.TvC was MUCH worse than Brawl, service-wise. You don't have to be a tournament-level fighter to realize that lag and Shoryuken command inputs don't mix. Plus it's a LOT harder to excuse in one-on-one connections. In my experience Brawl usually holds up well until the fourth person enters.
...seriously? That might be the one thing I'd point out that the company's VERY lacking and behind others.I think you misunderstood me, because in most ways I will tell you that Nintendo's online tactics are shot to hell. What I meant is that they're good about keeping it worldwide, as in, not region-locked (the one area where Capcom faltered in Monster Hunter Tri). I'd have been very surprised if Japanese, EU, and US 3DS Miis were unable to mingle with each other.
Speaking of that, Pokemon BW (well, the western versions) show us that DSi games, maybe 3DS games too, don't need to be region locked, so lets hope that Nintendo actually thinks about it and doesn't use it in their games at least.Black/White is DSi-enhanced, not DSi-exclusive. To region-lock it would be to punish users for playing the game on the more advanced hardware (the original/Lite could play Black/White of any region, regardless). So it'd have been rather senseless, not that region-locking makes a lot of sense to me to begin with. It's just bullshit market control to make fiscal reports look better, with absolutely no practical benefit; not to mention it legitimizes the console hacking that Nintendo hates so much.
Guess I'll have to take a look at what other games are coming out May-ish and try to work out a plan.By the way, I was able to get 11 Miis on the Mii Plaza with Street Pass, so that means all regions of the 3DS can connect with each other and share data and friend codes without any problems. ^^I'd have been disappointed otherwise. Despite regional lockout in games, Nintendo's been pretty good about worldwide network connectivity. Thanks for the confirmation.
Also, I think the first game I truly want from this is DOA. I always found it was the one fighting franchise which was really easy to learn and have fun with friends. Man, I miss the times on DOA Ultimate. I might just go play it.Hm, interesting recommendation. I'm not really familiar with DOA, but it looks pretty and has Ridley raking the walls with my enemy's face, so I had intended to pick it up.
These days I'm leaning towards Pilotwings and SSF4 to kick things off, and not being much of a fan of traditional fighters, it's a tough question as to whether or not I really want both SSF4 and DOA.http://www.siliconera.com/2011/03/15/marvelous-are-working-on-a-game-with-2d-artwork-for-nintendo-3ds/Awesome. Muramasa was a-freaking-mazing, so it'll be great to see what they come up with on the 3DS.
Waaaaaaaaaaaant D:
The thing is, i find many people who say that the touch screen can remedy the lack of the second analog quite well, if not better. Though at the same time, i can't imagine myself playing the entire game, only to wear my wrist out using the touch screen (happened when playing PH). This is a tricky situation.Everything I've heard says that Prime Hunters is the best litmus test as to how one will handle Kid Icarus's controls. Hunters wasn't my favorite setup, but it worked, and it admittedly beat the hell out of attempting an all-button setup (glad they provided the option, if only to ween yourself off at your own pace).
If the battery hooks directly to the 3DS's battery slot thingy, then I assume the 3DS's charging port would work to charge it. The Voltage isn't any different, just the mAhYeah, but...the dock is cooler.
Whores. Why don't us DPP players get special events, HUH?As I recall, because the biggest of the DP special events was revealed early due to an in-game glitch in Japan.
Now you're playing with (double battery) power! (Cubed3)Nyko's been good with well-thought-out peripheral concepts, IMHO, but I wonder. $50 extra for double battery and a dock that actually fits it?
Thoughts?
Unfortunate. I'm going to see how the 3DS's battery flies with me before investing, that's for sure. I got used to my PSP, but then I don't take it out of the house often due to lacking a case.Heck, if you really want to, you don't even have to make X that much of a bad guy. You can make him even more tragic, by making him a character who created that horrible policy of Repliroid disposal, because he simply had no other choice, and was forced into it by the bad situation Neo Arcadia and humanity in general was in. In other words, make him do something he clearly hates. He's fighting for it, even though he knows it's wrong.They basically did that with Harpuia, making him the most "X-like" of the Big Four across Z2 and Z3.
Also, I stand by what I said earlier; review the entire ZERO-series, see how much of it relies on Cyber Elf X. The entire foundation of the series' greatest moments comes crumbling down without Zero's undying devotion toward X's cause.I have to agree. X himself is a tremendous part of Zero's motivation, reiterated throughout the X-series all the way up until Zero4. Their bond is a pretty heavy foundation for both characters, across both series. Had X truly flipped, then combined with Zero's amnesia, it would cause Zero's own character to warp. His future character developments would be difficult if not impossible to tie back to the Zero we're familiar with from XXX years ago.
So be it... But that's why we are the best partners... I'll do what you want... Rest for a while. I will handle it, you can count on me. I won't stop! When an enemy appears... I'll terminate it..
I appreciate Copy-X existence since it prevented that real X got killed by Zero."...the original X was mightier than you!"
I'm not sure if anyone else has watched HideofBeast's commentated speedruns, but he tends to have some of the most insightful stuff about the X series that I've ever heard. Specifically he's talked about the issue ofYou nailed it. Thanks.(right down to the Contra example) "When you get massacred in a properly intense game, you don't feel cheated, you feel the need to improve".
memorization
But they already announced 3D How to Train Your Dragon for the system didn't they?Announced? No. It was one of their demos to show the 3D-movie capabilities back when the system was first unveiled. Netflix is the only movie provider that was "announced" for the 3DS, and they haven't confirmed if they'll be providing 3D movies or not.
Speaking of dragons~ Guess who I drew~
Mech Dragon! Awesome, Vix!
Contra is all about memorization. Learn where the blimps are, what they have, and where the death traps are, or you'll never beat the game. And they're fun as hell games. So you three can get the [tornado fang] off my internet.
That game blows because the memorization thing is all it has in terms of gameplay. If it weren't for the mishmosh of game references, not nearly as many people would give a damn. MM9, in contrast, has old fashioned Mega Man gameplay to back it up. And the noobtraps are so few and far in between.All agreed, I meant that comparison in relation to a few specific traps, certainly not to MM9 as a whole (though, really, putting one such trap in Endless Attack was freaking evil; I'd rather take on Rock3's 4-phase Yellow Devil any day).
| Cue the epic victory jingle! | |
it apparently is being based off the very first build of the gameThat would be the *BEST* thing they can do, if they maintain the absence of political correctness. Which they probably won't.
At least Mario 64 DS had the decency to add 30 extra stars to hunt down, and three (questionable) characters.*gives him ZEE UPPERCUT!!*
-OoT 3D release dateMissed that. All I'd caught was the new screens (which are GORGEOUS).
Also... why say "they hadn't finished the playable characters for Legends 3" when I thought Trigger was the only playable character in the entire series outside of Misadventures?They probably meant that, seeings how there hasn't been a non-cel-phone Legends game in a decade, a "scrap" Classic model was easier to come across than a Trigger model. I'm betting the Rock we see there is some previous developer content that never saw public release.
