none of this is my cup of tea. i've been looking around for trailers from the Nintendo show that i missed. like Mario Galaxy 2, for example.
you can ride on Yoshi. it's already a perfect game.

i missed the entire show. but that's no biggie. i can't get up that early anyway.
but reading the results, Ninty fared a hell of a lot better than Microsoft, if not just for the orgasm that the new Metroid caused me to have. but you throw in TWO new Mario games on the Wii, and a new Golden Sun, that's double the amount of games i care about compared to the 360 lineup. no Miyamoto is a little disheartening. perhaps swine flu got to him?
people think the MS show was better only because they paid to get the Beatles and Steven Spielberg on stage. or they've had a sudden change of heart when it comes to the motion sensing gimmick.
anyway,onto Sony.

speaking of Fire Flowers, if Fire Mario does show up in a future game, they have to make it not suck. if there's one thing i can complain about in Mario Galaxy, it's how garbage Fire Mario was. just being able to flick fireballs for a short amount of time is a terrible powerup. i'm willing to say it's worse than Spring Mario.
either beef Fire Mario up with better abilities, or make it last until you get hit, just like in the good old days. or both if Nintendo's feeling generous.

« on: June 02, 2009, 07:05:58 AM »Bring back the Belmonts, Konami. I don't mean like in Curse of Darkness, either. PLAYABLE from the getgo, dammit.
this is true. there hasn't been a Belmont as the main character in a Metroidvania since Leon Belmont. well, this situation could easily be remedied by the 1999 games. in at least one of them, Julius is guarranteed to be the star.
now that i brought it up, i wouldn't mind another game with Leon. or Juste, even. and if Konami takes my idea of remaking Castlevania 2 as a full fledged Metroidvania, you can never go wrong with playable Simon.

« on: June 02, 2009, 06:42:57 AM »On one hand, maybe Kojima style story telling would mean regaining CV's "playful" nature that has been severely down-played in recent years. Older titles were quite aware of their B-movie heritage, and had fun with it. But more recently, and especially under IGA's regime, that wasn't so much the case. I could definitely stand to see that aspect of CV return in style.
On the other though...I already don't like how IGA did more to make CV "serious" as it's been in recent years. I completely abhor the idea of Kojima and co trying to do anything akin to making CV into as much of a nonsensical mindfuck as MGS currently is.
i don't know what Castlevanias you've been playing. cause all the Metroidvanias have a sense of humor to them, save OoE. i mean, Portrait of Ruin does not take itself seriously at all. and all the other games have had the same little funny bits. whether it be descriptions for the Wacky Food Items, accessories, etc., or the Press It and See room and Chair Room in Curse of Darkness, or the Skeleton form in CotM.
in fact, the games have only gotten funnier since the series has gone on. the NES and Christopher games have no humor to them at all, actually, save for the dinky enemy names in CV1's localization. it wasn't until SCIV did funny things show up in actual gameplay. and it's rarely been in the forefront; most of the time, Castlevania humor is rather subtle.
CV is as serious now as it was on the NES. IGA didn't make the games more serious. quite the opposite, actually. a lot of the humor in the series comes from his development team. the only game that could top PoR's humor department is Rondo of Blood, but that's the exception to the rule.
too long don't read version: YOU'RE WRONG
and don't worry about Kojima mindfucking the franchise. it hasn't been said that his team is completely responsible for the project. he can't have the same amount of creative control as he does with MGS, his franchise.

some Kojima related news has been leaked.
- there will be a new PSP game, MGS Peace Walker, potentially featuring Big Boss.
- the Raiden game is in fact multiplatform. it's listed for PS3 and PC as well.
- Lords of Shadow has become a Castlevania game, with Kojima's team involved.
that last one is pretty damn shocking, and a little confusing. does this have anything to do with the Alucard game teased a while back?

Queen's Blade never ceases to amaze me with how ridiculous it gets. not only does Ep 9 have the girl with the smallest bust (practically flat), but also the woman with the biggest chest by far. they're so ridiculously big, even Nanael and Reina went "what the [tornado fang]." she had a huge sword, too.

then it is like MTV, in that it only cares about games (music) when something big happens. the rest of the time, it's stuff that has nothing to do with games (music). in G4's case, that's reruns of Lost, Heroes, Cops, shitty reality shows, and most recently, movies.

yep, MS's show was a bust for me. it's nice and all that 360 gets a MGS game, a ninja Raiden title no less. but Natal failed to impress me. it's really just a whole bunch of tech demoes and stuff to use on the dashboard. they didn't do anything really interesting with it gamewise. Kotaku put it best when concerning Milo: it's the next generation Seaman. and while Seaman was a concept that piqued a lot of people's curiosity, it's just not fun in a game sense.
have the fanboys started raging yet? cause it's pretty obvious Natal is ripping off the one thing 360 fans hate the most: the Wii.

reading Kotaku's live blog. i didn't get to hear much about Shadow Complex, so so far Microsoft's show has been a bust for me. they just seem to be showing all the things that i don't like. Forza, Splinter Cell, Halo, none of it.
i'm waiting for Rare to show up. a Perfect Dark XBLA would save the 360 show from being a total bust.
