I'm getting and reviewing Trauma Team. Hooray!

Luigi Dude · « **Reply #501 on:** May 15, 2010, 05:43:01 PM »

Even though the games almost a week away, I still can't resist the latest media.

GoNintendo has posted 3 video's showing off some of the early levels. That's the keyword, everything in these video's is only in the beginning of the game.

Damn if the beginning worlds are already looking this good, just thinking of the halfway galaxies makes me drool. And the final galaxies :head explodes from too much excitement:

Trauma Center New Blood was okay, it wasn't something that's going to make me rush out and buy a sequel. I might get it sometime down the road.

First official game score from Game Informer: 9.25

Score was subtracted due to incapability of game reviewer playing well.

In the same magazine, RE5: All The DLC Content You Paid For But Now In The Main Game Edition But Not At Full HD Game Price got a 9.5 from the same mag. God dammit, stop making it easy for me to mock you GI. It's not fun.

~~Saving my judgment elsewhere for Red Dead Redemption as it also got a 9.5 from the same mag. Trust your fellow NWR users for more honest reviews.[/s[~~

RE5 2nd time around 9.5? So if I translate right mario is an 11/10? Man i'm freakin hyped!

GI's insight is just as sterling as ever. I mean, there is A SUPER GUIDE feature in the game. Mr. Incapable Game Reviewer needs a better attention span.

Has anyone watched the two tv spots from the Nintendo Channel? They're quite elaborate. I'm just waiting for another epic Nintendo commercial like this http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CrATmeFoJPE to happen.

Caterkiller · « **Reply #508 on:** May 17, 2010, 05:37:07 PM »

Just came from our handheld threads, urge to kill is decreasing after seeing that awesome old commercial.

Now that you bring it up Peachylala, one would think that he wouldn't mark the game lower since there is indeed a super guide to help people out. Maybe his gaming pride was hurt.

Mop it up · « **Reply #509 on:** May 17, 2010, 05:51:01 PM »

Eh, I think most of us expect this game to receive a lower score than the previous game, because it is similar (and, critically speaking, it may very well deserve it). Don't fret over review scores and enjoy the game.

They don't make commercials like they used to. These days, most of them are loud, obnoxious, and demanding.

So he's not man-enough for mature Mario? (still the kiddie tho)

What a fat baby.

Ymeegod · « **Reply #511 on:** May 17, 2010, 11:44:27 PM »

I take it you didn't read the complete review? For the most part he praises the game and the only drawback was the increased challenge (meaning the more casual gamer isn't going to be able to beat this one) and some iffy use of motion controls.

stevey · « **Reply #512 on:** May 18, 2010, 12:07:38 AM »

Damn reviewers, I don't know why they get games early; one of them already uploaded SMG2 onto the 'dark'net and it's being pirated...

It's not like someone who'd bother reading a review before the game is released will be uncertain enough not to know whether they would buy the game, and then instantly be converted in to buying on day 1 with just 1 review. There doesn't need to be a rush for reviews.

NinGurl69 *huggles · « **Reply #513 on:** May 18, 2010, 12:29:28 AM »

Why should I read it?

Why should a GI journalist acknowledge Nintendo's casual audience?

At least they allow non-whites to appear in them...

Is it impossible to burn each "review" copy with a unique ID code located somewhere hidden in the game?
That way when a copy shows up on the net early, they can also download the game, check the ID and know exactly which reviewer it was that leaked the copy and deal with them accordingly. Can they do that?

That certainly worked for the Academy Awards.

I'm not sure if Stratos is being sarcastic, but game companies should actually consider doing that. There should be some way for Nintendo to track down who did this (and if they do, tell the company they work for to either fire the reviewer or they will never get another review copy from Nintendo).

Is it confirmed it's a review copy? Usually when this happens, it's some department store with a new hire who has no idea what a street-date is, even if it's marked on the box. That's a lot more difficult to track than a review copy.

So yeah, the recent Iwata asks interview has shown a rather interesting spoiler.

Warning, spoilers ahead!!!

Looks like this is part of what some reviewers have said is the Throwback Galaxy.

That remake of Whomp's Fortress makes me wonder how much of a role Koizumi had in the original Mario 64.

You know that this is a sign that Nintendo has run out of ideas.

passes the mic to Pro...
