So far, I'm finding Kid Icarus to be all the sadistic cruelty of Metroid, minus the stuff that made Metroid cool.

Were gamers masochists in the '80s or something? ):

Have you tried deleting the game's save data from the Wii options menu?

Yes.
Kid Icarus makes me cry. I've actually managed to make it to stage 1-3 this time (never got past the first level before now XD), but having to start the level over from the very beginning every time I die is getting tedius. D: Why did that mean ol' man throw all those tiles at me? T-T

Reader Reviews / RE: Red Steel, The Non-Hater Review.
« on: February 10, 2007, 10:31:53 PM »
I beat Red Steel a few days ago. It was pretty fun when it was actually working. The jumpy cursor was the worst part, and annoyed me a lot. It also kinda bugged me how you had to move the remote forward to zoom in while aiming. It was kinda inconsistent, sort of a hassle, and imo unnecessary, since aiming has no benefit beyond zooming in. Besides those two things, gunfighting was fun. Certainly at least par.
Sword fighting was a cool idea, but Red Steel's implementation is pretty bad. Circle your oponent, dodge when they attack, then wiggle the remote around randomly to perform three quick, consecutive attacks. Repeat. That's more or less how just about all of my sword fights went. Pretty boring. Also, it wasn't uncommon for checkpoints to be right before a swordfight. So if you died in a gunfight soon after a swordfight, you'd have to tediously repeat the same, boring sword fight yet again.
The fancy moves were really hard to pull off with the awkward timing from the huge lag between waving the remote and having your sword react. Good thing they weren't actually ever required. Also, deploying your tanto in the middle of a gunfight is way, way, WAY too slow.
Sword fighting didn't really detract from the game, but it really didn't add anything, either.
One thing that I rather liked was the use of the remote's speaker. In fact, I wish they would have made your gunshots also come from the speaker, as well as giving you the option to make all weapon sounds come from the speaker exclusively, both to more thoroughly complete the feeling of the gun being in your hands. Didn't like how ammo pickup sounds came from the speaker, though; that didn't really make sense to me.
I got a question. Does honor actually, like, do anything? Like, is there an actual purpose to showing defeated swordfighters mercy, and disarming yakuza? I usually didn't kill the guys I beat in swordfights, but I never disarmed anyone. It was too much fun to shoot 'em in the head with the revolver.

I think it'd be nice if they made up being jump optional, though Nintendo doesn't seem to like to provide configurable control options like that. The targetting method in the 3D Zelda games is the only thing I can think of.

I'm not very good at it, but I've gotten a little bit better. Regardless, though, I don't have to be particularly good at a game to be able to appreciate it. I just think the game's boring.

PC games need to be SCALABLE. That means they have to cater to a range, not necessarily set the max details really low. Considering the age of the 'Cube and PS2, a decent port probably shouldn't need to sacrifice any visuals even for a low-end gaming rig.
Unless the person who took those screenshots was playing with the settings turned WAY down, the game's graphics engine was just very lazily ported (a lazy console to PC port? Unheard of). Plus, no mouse aiming = fail.

I think people are worried that, while the Wii might not be ignored like before, it may not be taken fully seriously. It's the least powerful console by a notable margin this generation, which devs might use as an excuse to be lazy, since expectations will be lower. Key word is might. I think many fans are just protective of Nintendo, and so they worry about these possibilities.
