Title: Poor Ninja Bread Man
Post by: GoldenPhoenix on September 23, 2007, 10:03:18 PM
It is so awfully disheartening that a gem like Ninja Bread Man will be overlooked because of Halo 3. If Halo 3 wasn't coming out on the same day I think Ninja Bread Man would have been a 2 million+ unit seller. I mean how can you resist playing a Ninja who is a Bread Man? So let's all gather together in a circle and give a moment of silence for this diamond that will be shattered by the giant hammer that is Halo 3. Only Kairon can salvage some of its dignity.
UPDATE
Ninja Bread Man has been pushed to next week, looks like we may have a big hit still, though Halo 3's momentum could still crush the Ninjabread Man and gobble him up.

This game is currently NOT on my gaming budget. But since they delayed Endless Ocean... maybe...

Halo 3's coming out? Geez, that came out of nowhere. They really should advertise for the game or something. It will probably help sales.

Care to explain how that makes the game look bad? To me, it looks like a fast paced platformer with some simple combat.

It looks terribly simplistic, with a very clunky moving and camera system.
After looking a Galaxy, I don't see how anyone cannot see that.

thatguy, if you can't see it, no one will be able to tell you.

psh. You guys are just too stuck up to look at the good things right in front of you. It's a budget title, it doesn't have to offer a revolution to be good, it just has to be fun.

That's the point. It doesn't look fun.

Evan is firing on all cylinders plus 1 today. Not to mention he is SOOOO agreeable.

The game looks...passable, though definitely uninspired except for the Ninjabread man himself.

This game will probably suck, but I still want it. Why you ask? Because I believe in the promise of a Ninja Bread Man 2.

Is it going to be budget priced?
Title: RE:Poor Ninja Bread Man
Post by: GoldenPhoenix on September 24, 2007, 07:24:46 PM
It is priced at 29.99.

HELL YEAH I'M BUYIN' DIS BABY!!!
Why didn't I pre-order it? Why? WHY? I coulda increased the shipment to my local Gamestop... ohhhh whyyyyy....
Hopefully my copy that I ordered online isn't one of the things that'll have to wait for a second batch. They already had Carnival Games backordered when I put in my order for that...

So
Ninja bread Man > Halo 3? We already knew Ninja bread Man was more original!

Why? The more money there is tobe made, the better. I just hope that third party publishers and developers rise to the occasion.

I guess.
I just see it differently than you. I see a terrible looking game being the first of many once third parties realize that crap will sell.
I know I'm being harsh for a game that I have yet to play, but anyone can see that the art style is blocky and bland; the textures are murky; and the animation is anything but smooth. The only thing that looks like it took more than a day to create was the Ninja Breadman (which I must confess, is pretty cool looking).
I just don't want to see the flood gates for third-party sludge ruin the trend that Wii games are starting to have (and that is each one controls more solid than the last).

Yeah, I know no one's expecting this game to satiate their hunger for great third-party titles, but its success means that the ingredients are already there. Even if they're small, no-name, budget, third-party developers and publishers, as long as they're hungry, there'll be room at the table.

I played this about a year and a half-ish ago on PS2, I win. It's well worth your money.
Really.
Seriously!
Buy it instead of Mario Galaxy.
Do it.

Fred Meyer had Ninja Bread Man on sale last week for $14.99, but unfortunately they were all sold out.
