ZX / Re: What's up with ZX3?

« on: November 11, 2009, 06:47:03 PM »

I think Capcom's going to wait until they can make another successful Megaman platformer like MM9, or they're 100% sure that they can follow the MMX formula (just look at ZX1 Area D).

Hard-pressed to see a 4, though.

Yeah, it did handle a little more loose than your average Mario, but you do get used to it.

So far as enemies go, I miss the Bomb Koopas.
As much as it pains me to say this, that's only true in spinoffs (sports/party games).  Daisy has not been featured in a "main" Mario game.  Mario Kart is pretty much the high point of her appearances.  Believe me, I want that to change, but time after time opportunities for her are missed.

I suppose one could adjust to it, but good luck playing any other Mario game afterwards.

Heh, Bomb Koopas were slightly annoying, but kept that rush going!

NSMBWii included. Fine, keep Blue Toad, but yellow could have been Daisy!

Posted on: November 10, 2009, 07:42:57 PMDon't spoil anything, just tell me one thing:

Compare the difficulty to another Mario game.

I'm hearing:
"Easy if you ignore all star coins. Hard if you try to get them all."

And NSMBDS was Normal Mode getting all the Star Coins. Not impossible, just a little trial-and-error, but mostly resetting because you lost/didn't have _____ Mushroom/Power/Suit.

Well, mine's on component, 480p on a 52" Samsung.

I'm violating the Rule of 3, and it's not that bad, considering.
But you do notice the jaggies. And SMG's brightest parts really show it. MKWii's light-blurring and edges really have issues. Heck, Rosalina's eye looks like it's going all over the place...

Jiang Shi ^^
they should come back, even though they'd be completely out of place

Yeah, those! I just made up names; I don't even recall seeing enemy names as a kid. Worlds 3 and 4 were REALLY out-of-nowhere. But the Jiang Shi act like jumping Dry Bones; make 'em look like porcelain dolls and stick 'em in Ghost Houses. And the Sprint Moai's and Boulders should definitely be in a mountain world.

Game's not too terribly hard, per se, but the run, jump, and fall physics WILL snag you.

It's probably just the simple fact that Super Mario Land is not considered as "mainstream/traditional" a Mario title as the others.  If Nintendo felt dirty from touching it, we'd have not heard Sarasaland's underground theme remixed in Brawl.

And yet Daisy's become a mainstay. True, they had the Underground theme as well as Forest Maze, so they haven't forgotten, at least.

Nintendo seems kinda hesitant to touch anything Gunpei Yokoi had his hands on, though.

Metal Combat, SML/2:SGC, all sorts of content.

I don't know whether it's out of some respect thing since his passing, or his estate doesn't want Nintendo's hands in his work, or what.

Just finished beating Super Mario Land.

Poor physics aside, WOW, SARASALAND IS REALLY DANGEROUS. Bowser could use some of these enemies like the Sprint Moai or the China Dolls.

I'd kinda like to see a little Super Mario Land tributing in a newer Mario game.

PB's right; it really depends on the guy. Me, yeah, I like decent-sized T's, and no, I couldn't explain to you why, other than they're something to play with, sensitive, sensation spots? Heck if I know. What other things do I look for...soft skin would be the only universal thing, really, because there's something that overshadows all of the rest:

The girl's gotta have an overall beauty.
<---
Some might find her unattractive. May be too flat, hair's stupid, too tall, whatever. But for me, she's GREAT.

You could find a woman with THE PERFECT BODY, but what if it's attached to a face that makes babies cry and a personality to match?
Suddenly, the allure is ruined. There has to be a balance, every trait has to have some minimal level of quality; overall beauty.

(click to show/hide)

And as a fair-deal guy, I'm trying to live up to the same standard, but I can't workout because of the College from Hell and my face and hair need lotsa work.

Uhh, not sure where this came from, but the last year or so the two of them have been kinda chanting that they now have to accommodate for HD in the future since a good percentage of folks have it now. Hell, the last month or so, the two of them have been fueling the rumor mill with their passive but frequent "HD is cool" comments. Seriously, wat is this? I don't even

Well, I do even.

http://kotaku.com/5398192/nintendo-talks-about-its-possible-hd-future

In the shareholder meeting notes (oh god, I can't believe I actually read them yesterday), HD is not denied, but it keeps getting sidestepped as does the idea of a second Wii.
Which is really all corporate lingo and mishmosh that ultimately means:

As per comment made by Reggie Fils-Aime. And believe me, he wants to know what he has to/will market.

Well Miyamoto and Iwata have pretty much canned the idea of a WiiHD.

Which means we're in for one heck of a ride considering they're not sure what to do about 1080p. They'd like Pikmin to be in it but not Wii Sports?

I mean, I get it, but why go through all that headache? Just make the darn thing output in 1080p, upscale previous games.

ZX / Re: Who exactly created the Biometals?

« on: November 10, 2009, 03:02:45 AM »

Which is odd, because they scrapped the outright use of Model O by itself by Vent/Aile.

Are Vent/Aile unable to perform single Biometal transformations anymore or something? Or was "Model O"'s moveset so similar to Zx's that they made it Ox just to "qualify" Model Ox's "weakness" and allow for future story hijinx all in one fell swoop?
