Nintendo Gaming / Re: NX Launch Lineup

« on: May 30, 2016, 11:40:48 AM »

OK maybe not a launch list, let's call it a launch...year...list
For sure:
Zelda WiiU/NX
Smash Bros DLC Super pack

Highly likely:
Mario Maker DX
Splatoon DX
3D Mario
Animal Crossing (they've said a console game links to iOS game)



Less likely
All the 3rd party games heading to XBone and PS4 in 2017
F-Zero


Sometime in the far future
Dragon Quest 11 (accidentally announced a while back)
Final Fantasy 15
Super Smash Kart!

1. Ty - all game complete
2. James - Up to World 4
3. Danny - Up to World 3
4. Sairus - Glanced at game once from a distance

WiiU leaderboards for SMB are a lonesome experience! Anyone else playing it, or has everyone already got it on other systems?

@TOPHATANT123 I just thought Mario World would be toooooo easy/obvious for a quiz I thought was designed to trip me up! Alas no, it was my favourite game of all time...bah.
After we finished recording that show he asked me a bonus question which was way harder IMO, and I nailed immediately: "What was the last game published on the NES?"    do you know?


Also thanks for the tip about T.H.F, that game gets no love on this show, and that factoid only makes things worse! #EndRegionLocking


@azeke Yeah I was pretty sure SNES is pretty much nailed, except maybe with some Satellaview stuff maybe. The N64 stuff is kinda wonky though, and the 64DD stuff even more so.

Phew, what a show!
You don't need to thank us for all this valuable info about Japan we give you free, but you can if you want!


Let us know your favourite Japanese movies (anime or otherwise), and your feelings on dubbed films in this talkback thread, or by email/Twitter.


If you want to listen to the non-NWR podcast I was on called "ALT Insider" you can find it on iTunes, or just click this. It's like 90% non-games talk by the way.


As for my Radio Trivia ep, check out the sidebar up top.

Hello ferociously friendly Famicast friends!


Some background reading on the episode:


**Japan is No. 102 (out of 145) on the World Giving Index below 3rd world countries like Ethiopia.


**Watch here as a rich Japanese celebrity wins 10 million yen on Millionaire...for himself. What, seriously?
(The last few minutes are funny though because of how long the host waits before declaring right/wrong)


**I listened to the entire Ouendan playlist on YouTube and indeed found all the music to be entirely terrible as I suspected. Although I do admit the stories were amusing, as they are in E.B.A.


By the way Danny I saw "Linda Linda" is part of the Ouendan soundtrack and so now i know why you like it. Also, that's a terrible song (But funny in a karaoke setting)


If you liked all this Japan chat in the episode, send more questions in and we'll tackle them in a future episode!

Cheers MASB!

It's great that we didn't make the list because we can just pass the blame off if anything's missing.
Shame though, it would have made a good bookend with Daan "Kusoge" Koopman having both a 1 and a 10!

Hey everyone, did you enjoy the episode?
I'm sure everyone agrees with everything that was said in the perfect 10 reviews feature right?
Haha, I'm joking of course, I know it annoyed someone/everyone on some/all levels.
Please understand!


Here's the original NWR article that we used as reference (sent in by Anthony, the listener)
http://www.nintendoworldreport.com/feature/26784/ten-years-of-reviews


We'd love to know what games you think are missing from the list.

So did you enjoy this episode either in audio or video form? Of course you did!
Do you like the Life in Japan bit? Goes without saying!
Did something inspire your imagination during the show? I dunno, but if it did, make it know below or in an email!


Oh, and check out my Mario Maker levels right here

Well if we look at Twilight Princess HD, it's probably Amiibo activated.

Fox makes it 16-bit.
Falco makes it more difficult.
Slippy makes it impossible to die.

@TOPHATANT123 I actually hasn't heard of the V meaning single thing. Maybe Sai is lying...
But yeah V-burger has to be veggie (my burger of choice btw)



@Lucariofan99 None of us were born in Japan. Except Minoru, who's no longer on the show.

7.5?!
Hand in your badge and gun Bivens, you're done.
You're a loose cannon, we need you to play by the books.
It's obviously way better than Hey You Pikachu, which you don't even MENTION in your review.

Really enjoyed JC Presents Super Mario Super Splat Party Hour, but I'm not sure about the long term viability of the segment.

Although the editing is consistently great, I felt that this week it was especially on point and that I appreciate the hard work that goes into it.

Thanks man! Yeah I dunno how much longer it will last either.
It may become a non-regular "when appropriate" feature in the future...

Never heard of him.
