Partner with Nintendo and do Theatrhythm Zelda.

Or hell, even just Theatrhythm Nintendo. Include a couple mixes from the Smash Bros series and you have a 250 song game right there.

Okay, I've seen the trailer around 20 times already. And every time I get a little teary-eyed. The music, the animation... Its so weird to think that I was ten years old when the first series was announced, and now I'm an (admittedly young) adult at the age of 20, about to see the final season of what could be the last thing we ever get of the Avatar franchise.

What character did he spell incorrectly?


Isn't a list of characters in order of his enjoyment a ranking?

Nintendo Gaming / Re: Wait, GameCube is more powerful than 3DS?

And you're confusing amazing graphics with photo-realistic art design. The descriptor, amazing, is just that - an opinion. It's just as if saying Wind Waker has fantastic art direction, too.

And yes, there are games on GameCube when played on the appropriate television set (a 480i/p standard CRT) that look just as great as PS4/Xbox One/Wii U games. Rogue Leader, Wind Waker, Resident Evil 4, Soul Calibur II, Star Fox Adventures (ridiculous fur effects), Pikmin, F-Zero GX, and even Beyond Good & Evil.

Art style or photo-realism..or not, appropriate to its original resolution and viewed on its respective display, yes, these GC games look just as good as the games' and their respective screenshots you posted (look, I can opinion, too!)

Sure, amazing graphics is an opinion and I could be wrong about whether or not they look just as good, but this is not an opinion:

There are games that were on the system that could still be mistaken for PS4/XBone games.  Just that good.

There is no game on the Gamecube that can be "mistaken" for a retail PS4/Xbone game. None. Regardless of art style vs. technical merit. If you can post a screenshot of a game that could be mistaken for a game on either console, I will completely concede to the multiple points that I disagree with and bow out of the argument. I am 100% confident that that game does not exist.

Oh, and just as a little aside, Journey (A PS3 game!) doesn't have photo-realistic graphics and looks x1000 times better than Wind Waker.

I think a lot of you guys are confusing fantastic art direction for amazing graphics. There really isn't anything special about Wind Waker HD. It has fantastic art direction, which is why it can look good even today. Okami and Beyond Good & Evil are similar games. But its completely ridiculous to compare a Gamecube game to a current gen console.

None of those pictures are pre-rendered. Hell, the two middle scenes were pictures taken directly from gameplay.

Comparing Fez to Mega Man? Bro, those aren't even the same games. Just because they are pixel 2D games doesn't make them even close to the same thing, and comparing the two (or really, any of the games you compared) are doing a disservice to most of them.


Especially not backing Shovel Knight because of Fez. Shovel Knight is a love letter to NES games. Fez isn't even pretending to be such a thing.

Nintendo Gaming / Re: Final Fantasy: Curtain Call is the perfect game for hardcore FF fans

« on: September 20, 2014, 12:33:09 AM »

Both of those FF8 songs are not DLC. There might be licensing issues that we don't know about. And yeah, not using the English version of 1000 words for the English release was really stupid.


Not sure what issues you are having with the sound level of the songs, though. I found that turning my sound from "Surround" to "Stereo" in the system settings made the sound much louder and easier to hear. See if that helps.


My only problem is that we should be able to remix to sound levels of the music vs. the sound effects of the game.

That's not his whole shtick, that's just a part of his character that gets overused in video games.

That's completely false, but whatever. He was doing that long before he had a video game.

Then why even have Deadpool? If he can't do what Deadpool does, then he shouldn't be in the movie. His whole shtick is that he knows he's in a comic book. Did that ever "ruin the comic read experience"?

Sony releases TEST Footage for a new animated Popeye movie
by Genndy Tartakovsky (Dexter's Laboratory, Powerpuff Girls, Samurai Jack, SW: Clone Wars, Sym-bionic Titan)
Looks good to me

So uh, Genny my bud, where's that Samurai Jack movie you promised? At this point its gonna come out in 2026 with CG animation and none of the original voice cast back (besides Aku, whose VA died nearly ten years ago).

Nintendo Gaming / Re: Super Smash Bros. for WiiU (& 3DS)

« on: September 18, 2014, 07:22:38 PM »

I've decided not to buy the 3DS version after a lot of deliberation. I decided to spend my 40 bucks on Theathrythm and I don't regret it. I hope the loss of a single character is the only lost for parity between the two versions. However, I don't think that will be the end of it. I've seen some speculation that the limitations of pokeball uses might also be in the Wii U version but that hasn't been confirmed or denied quite yet.


Personally, after hearing all this, I don't think the 3DS version should exist if it means gimping the already superior product.
