I've only played a little bit of it with my bro but I love it. I didn't realize it was that hard but I do want it for myself, It certainly felt more refreshing than Mario Kart to me.

Ok so I'm bad at drawing on the U pad, but I'm going to try something to see the response. If Bustin or Phishfood want to take the reins maybe all of us collaborate, that would be even better.
I'm going to draw Mario in all black with an eye patch, he'll approach Nintendo stars asking if they've herd of the Super Smash Brothers Initiative.
I stole this idea from Retaliation on another board. He suggested Nintendo do this at the end of every Nintendo game after the credits. Freaking hilarious.

Hahahahaahahah!
Oh oh, now do Broodwars!
I do agree that since the GameCube, Nintendo has had a harder time with coming up with creative ideas. At the same time there are multiple generations of people that have grown up after the N64 era that more or less need a title like NSMB DS. 3D Mario continues the quest for daring new ideas with more of a challenge so I feel we get exactly want. As much as I would love it, every 2D Mario cant be a Yoshi's island, its just too complicated for newer people to get involved. I honestly think the "cookie cutter sequel" is necessary for the dual Mario audience.
Now I personally don't veiw the NSMB series as cookie cutter sequels and /or mediocre except for the DS one, I had a great time with the other 3. Even still, new enemies, locations and themes were done with Sunshine and I remember in those days every character but Petey Piranah was shunned for the tried and true.
We got Sunshine, Pikmin, Jungle Beat and Prime last gen and Galaxy, Epic Yarn, DK Returns and Skyward sword this gen to name a few. I think these games are plenty creative but sometimes the tried and true and not too complocated titles that sell to the masses have to be made.

Nintendo Gaming / Cartridge to use 3DS as Upad
« on: January 03, 2013, 11:40:58 AM »
Nintendo Master, a French site, is saying Nintendo is working on a cartridge to stream Wii U to 3DS, then if you had the Circle Pad pro, it will function as another Wii U game pad.
It would be a decent solution for people who already own a 3ds and a 2nd pad isn't an absolute necessity. Miyamoto mentioned this as a possibility during Wii U's E3 reveal when he was caught off guard by the double Upad concern. S it's probably happening.

Oh absolutely. I sware every time a franchise is finally ligitamately coming to Nintendo it's either lost all credibility because of quality or the general consensus is its not that important anymore.
It's the only reason why numbered final fantasy will ever make it back to Nintendo home consoles.

Nintendo Gaming / Diddy Kong Racing sequel
« on: December 29, 2012, 06:08:47 PM »

Who's up for another stupid gamefaqs rumor? This one is about Diddy kong Racing.
Hello,
I'm a friend of someone at Monster Games, and I felt Nintendo fans should know about their upcoming project. I do not work at Monster Games, but I have a pretty good connection with multiple employees there.
Nintendo hired a bunch of people in Minnesota to join the team. They just hired two contract artists a week ago.
Back in 2011, after Pilotwings Resort wrapped up, Nintendo offered Monster Games different ideas for future projects. Around June 2011, Monster Games began work on a Diddy Kong Racing sequel for the Wii U. Nintendo owns the rights to Diddy Kong and Diddy Kong Racing, and Monster Games specialty is in the racing genre. Dave Broske and Dave Pollatsek are the programming leads on the game, and the game design chief is John Schneider. Josh Defries is working on Environment design. Kodai Matsumoto is a superviser on the project.
A guy named Mitch Ernst is another person working on the game. He's involved in user interface design with the Wii U controller's touchscreen. You can touch certain icons on the touchscreen to use power ups.
There were some legal grey zones with characters like Tip Tup, Timber, Bumper, etc, and Nintendo was in talks with Microsoft/Rare to clear it up. Banjo and Conker won't be in the game.
The sequel to Diddy Kong Racing is planned for a 2013 release for the Wii U, and it will be revealed sometime next year. There will be an adventure mode similar to the Nintendo 64 game, as well as online multiplayer. Miiverse will be implemented into the game, and you'll be able to race using your Mii's as well as other characters.

K Rool, Ridley, Megaman and Mewtwo are hands down, universally the most requested characters in the West. All fake leaks will include at least 2 of them. And as much as each of them would make great characters and even with all my campaigning I don't have much hope for any but 1. God I hope I'm wrong.
K Rool, hasn't been seen since Super Sluggers and god knows what Capcom will do with Mega. At least Ridley has had a real presence in each Smash, with it getting bigger in the sequels, still... It's awkward body Ridley. Mewtwo is the only one any of us should count on.

TalkBack / Re: Nintendo Wonder World: Waking the Winds of Change in The Legend of Zelda
« on: December 28, 2012, 12:30:52 AM »
Anyone remember how alive some of the enemies were in WW? Bombs scared Moblins and Bokoblins away. Knock a weapon out of someone's hand and they go rushing for the nearest one. If they couldn't find a dropped weapon they would fight each other for one. The Darknuts would do some spinning round house kick on you to buy time before getting a new weapon, lol.
That was some good old fashioned high attention to detail right there. For me that was the biggest aspect lost in the following sequels.
As for what's being discussed SS changed things for the better as far as I'm concerned. The game was one big Metroid like dungeon world with a hub and I liked that, yet it still had a big boring over world.
The input for combat was a major change and huge plus for me but to piggy back off of Anger an element of "real" sword play needs to present. Instead of just striking at the appropriate spot many of the enemies should have heated back and forth. I feel like Giriham and the last boss almost felt that way but not quite what I am envisioning.
So basically to evolve the sword combat one step further the strikes would need to NOT follow through for every swing. There would need to be a way to make the strikes a little more elegent like fencing or Chinese sword play. While that isn't impossible, what makes that difficult is a virtual opponent stopping links sword and the player being able to react to that accordingly, instead of the strike just bouncing off or going through the blocked opponent no matter what.
With a proper learning curve, super intense, rapid back and forth sword fights could be possible, as well as the more classic ones where you just wait for an opening. I mean I certainly hope to fight like the warriors in Lord of the Rings some day or a Jedi.

It's going to be an issue for no one except for the people who vacation and break their controllers in another country. It means nothing for potential multiplayer because honestly I don't believe we will ever have 2 gamepad games. I know what Nintendo said and I was excited to hear the news but I can't shake the feeling it will turn into Gamecube's online. Announced just to pacify the crazies for a little while but ultimately nothing comes from it.

I just finished the hard cover for Book 4. I guess part 8? So I absolutely have to know if someone survives. The way it was drawn I couldn't tell if that person got hit or not. Though we are led to believe that yea that person did bite it, I just can't imagine that character dying ever.
So Nickmitch tell me, in the tv series some of the zombies used rocks as tools. I only noticed it after a rewatch and that seems really uncharacteristic of them. Is that topic ever touched upon after the mess with the governor?

I had some extensive play time with Nintendo Lands Metroid today and good god that is the ultimate future. Co-op 3d Mario, Zelda and Metroid could bring forth some amazing ideas with the whole isometric(is that the word?) gameplay.
I don't know now anyone could doubt the gamepads use for "core" titles after playing Metroid.

Seriously though, I had a feeling you had enough of this place. Didn't know why but with you being a Boo it wasn't too hard to figure out.
I'll tell you this though, not a major Nintendo multiplayer/party game release goes by where I don't think about the NSMBW NWR meetup we almost had. You seemed to be really looking forward to it, but I just had stuff going on around that time.
I've been thinking, when Smash comes out I'll put together a new meetup for it, for real this time. And of course your invited. Still I'd have to screen everyone first. Just keep that in mind while your gone.
And I know I picked on Tendoboy, but gosh darn it, his posts used to bug the shiatsu out of me.

Another thing to note is that he might actually look at competitive teir lists or what ever type of tracking system they have for Brawl. Not saying he will design the games with that stuff in mind, but I'm glad he is aware of it.
I suppose E3 will be the first time we get real info on this.
Quote
To put it succinctly, I’ll need to have you guys wait a while longer. I hardly ever write anything on Twitter any longer, and that’s because I think right now is the time to stop tweeting and start putting in a real effort here. If I could put it a really harsh way, I think it’d be better if I could be forgotten by gamers for a while.Good, I say get off twitter and I like how he pointed out rabbid fan behaviour. Maybe people who read this can have conversations that are a little more sensible. I used to wonder, does he even take a second glance at our Twitter responses? Obviously after Namco was involved and criticized he made a statement. But it's nice that he can see our constant bickering over stupid stuff. And by "ours" I mean "them" not us...
I don’t like it when a tweet or whatever leads to needless speculation getting spread around. For example, when I tweet about playing some game, some people immediately get the idea that that character is in the new Smash Bros. Then people fan the flames on it, people start to think it’s really true, people get angry about it. Nobody benefits.
I got asked once by a student ‘Is Fox really strong in Smash Bros. Brawl because you like Star Fox?’ Absolutely not. I don’t balance things based on that. These are very important titles that the creators and fans are leaving to me. In the worldwide online rankings, Fox’s winning record is right in the middle of all the characters. The idea with him was a character that suicided often, but made up for it with other skills, but I guess that prominence gave him this image of being really powerful.
Instead of talking about what Smash Bros. will be like. I’m just going to say ‘I’m making you wait for it!’ and keep going along. I want to put my all into a full-on launch that really makes that wait worth it.

I should note some of these games are still "unannounced" so there is still hope. It's not like a press release was given to confirm the official status and no way they would reveal anything new over a phone call.
I swear though, if another developer comes to my house again and asks me why I only own a Nintendo console... Bones will be smashed and war declared on the nearest 3rd party offices. And I've got 4 of em within a 2 mile radius.
And by that I mean kindly ask the person to leave and write an angry letter to the 3rd parties in bold red letters.
