I was reading GAF early in the morning and couldn't work out why someone would necrobump such an old thread. Then I started counting 5, 6, 7 ... 8!? Why Square Enix, why do you torture me so?

TalkBack / Re: Nintendo To Confirm E3 Plans Tomorrow
« on: May 12, 2015, 12:44:57 PM »
Not necessarily in terms of announcements but just in terms of raw presentation last years E3 was easily the best one they've done by a country mile. The event it's self was well paced (relative to the other conferences in 2014) and being prerecorded allowed for higher production values than a stage show (Robot Chicken, Reggie Fils Anime, Wool Shop, Aonuma and Koei Tecmo sitting down to discuss Zelda over tea, Zelda appearing at the click of Aonuma's fingers, the splatoon aquarium) as well as being aired simultaneously in multiple different languages with the choice between subs or dubs in the case of English. Then there were the other 3 prongs being the public demos, the daily live stream and the tournament.


As for Punch-Out I don't think this is a tease since I recognise the outfit from the "Smash September Training Montage" video. Implying it's NOA's generic training outfit prop rather than Little Mac's. Although it could go either way at this point.

So long as you aren't too far away from the low point it is feasible to get out and manually push yourself back to Kerbal.

I have 111 hours in Kerbal Space Program but so far have been unable to actually get to the Moon and get home alive.

Animal Crossing is a safe bet since we've already seen the character models in that peculiar plaza application, and New Leaf is on something like 9 million sales so they'd be crazy not to do a Wii U installment.

Oh and Mario Maker which I think is their big holiday title.(albeit a weak holiday title).



Mario Maker has a confirmed (post Zelda delay announcement) release date of September so that isn't the holiday title. My guess would be the ol' JRPG 1 2 of Xenoblade for the West and #FE for the East. Or it could be Iwata's teased unannounced game to be released in the fiscal year ending March 2016.

Nintendo Gaming / Re: Splatoon!! WELCOME - TO DYE!

Just finished playing, initially I was fighting the controls and couldn't get my head around using two input methods to do the same thing, although by the end I came round to it. The balance seems good, ideally you would want a mixture of classes but as you have to leave the lobby to change weapons it is impossible to co-ordinate. The sniper is mostly an offensive weapon as enemies don't travel very fast in human form making them easy targets. The roller on the other hand is suited to taking enemy territory with the other weapons somewhere in between. In terms of match making I got quite a few error messages "Can't connect to partners device" although once inside a game I experienced zero latency as far as I could tell. Overall I felt the core was fun with the lack of map variety being it's downfall, at the moment it's a game I wouldn't want to buy at launch although I will stick around for the 3rd demo and see how I feel about it then.

I like how the content will be spaced out over a period of time to keep you coming back although I am not a fan of the amiibo. If it were all the challenges, all the costumes and that sweet rhythm game locked behind a single readily stocked amiibo that would be reasonable considering you also get a collectible figure, but 3! That's way too far, in the UK it is cheaper to buy the game twice than buying all the amiibos.


If the demo fails to seriously impress I won't be buying it.

The Xenoblade bundle just tipped the scales for me, looks like it's time to get a new 3ds.

That german Phoenix Wright person on google + is quite literally the exact same person who posted the "leak" for the April 1st direct. You know the one with Star Fox Horizons and Paper Mario U.
https://plus.google.com/107676607280980751737/posts/Ryqfqr9PZxt
And then later admitted to faking it "That was my goal for the leak; as credible as possible. That is not a paper with bold heading internal use only and not the 1000th leak for Metroid WiiU"


Being fake aside I would buy Splatoon without question if it came with a free game.

My favourite James Bond game is Eurocom's The World Is Not Enough for the N64. There was a large variety of gadgets with a greater emphasis on stealth, and the multiplayer had more interesting map design and customisation options compared to GoldenEye

Yes, it is true that in February 2014 Zero Escape director Kotaro Uchikoshi announced that the series would not continue due to poor sales. However during an interview with 4gamer in December 2014 he said that "It's looking like 2015 will be the year where everything I've built towards over the years will come together and be let out into the world in one fell swoop". And then in February 2015 he updated his Facebook profile to working on "You-know-what" and has since deleted it. The most conclusive evidence though is the teaser site http://4infinity.co/ it gets updated regularly and is acknowledged by the director on twitter. Another thing to note is that Nintendo now owns shares in Dwango, the owner of Spike Chunsoft, so this may have something to do with the project being un-cancelled, although that is a bit of a stretch.

3DS - Nintendo
Rhythm Tengoku The Best +, I doubt the game will show up at E3 but I swear to God I will weep salty tears if it slips due to the NX in 2016.
Girls Mode 3 - This may show up although I don't think the digital event is the right time and or place to announce such a game, may be stealth announced like Mario Party was last year.
Fire Emblem IF - I think this will be absent, it is too close to the Japanese release and too far away from the English release, will probably get it's own direct.
Mother 3D - Call me a starmen.net conspiracist but I think Mother 3D is an absolute lock for E3. It has been teased at least twice by NCL/NOA, Iwata said to expect more remakes on 3DS and Lucas comes out in June, the month of E3. Coincidence? I think not.
The Great Detective Pikachu - Assuming this hasn't been cancelled this could show up in whatever hideous form it has taken.
Pokemon - There are 3 ways Pokemon could go at this point; Pokemon 7, Pokemon Z, Pokemon Remake. It'll probably be at E3, or they could pull another 2014 and announce it on May 7th.

3DS - Atlus
Etrian Odyssey Untold 2 - I'm sure this will be there just not in the presentation.
Legend Of Legacy - I'm sure this will be there, Nintendo gave it a big push in Japan and I assume the same will happen here.
Stella Glow - Not exactly main show material but you never know.
Etrian Odyssey 5 - Too soon.

3DS - Bandai Namco
Project X Zone 2 - This will certainly show up in some capacity since it comes out so soon.
Dragon Ball Z: Extreme Butouden - Maybe? Who knows.

3DS - Square Enix
Final Fantasy Explorers - Considering how well MH4U did in the west it may come over, especially since it has the Final Fantasy name attached.
Bravely Default 2 - The first did well so I assume the second will come over in 2016.
Dragon Quest 7 - Nope.

3DS - Level 5
Yokai Watch - This will show up without a doubt considering it's being published by Nintendo and coming early 2016.
Snack World - I don't really see this leaving Japan to be honest.

3DS - Capcom
Monster Hunter Stories - We'll probably get a trailer on May 31st but not at E3.
The Great Ace Attorney - I really hope this gets localised but may faith is dwindling, Plz Capcom!

3DS - Koei Tecmo
Atelier Rorona Plus - I imagine James would have fun reviewing this.

3DS - Others
Zero Escape 3 - This will most likely be announced at E3 since it has been teased heavily and sold better in the west.
Langrisser - So niche it'll probably never come, but we'll see.
Lord of Magna - We know it's coming but not exactly E3 material.
Corpse Party 3DS - XSeed will most likely bring this over.


Wii U - Nintendo
Xenoblade X - This game will be released on the 20th November 2015, it is Nintendo's biggest game this year and needs prime time if they want to recoup costs.
Mario Maker - Will be released September, playable but not show.
Yoshi's Woolly World - Absent, nothing to show or tell any more.
Star Fox - Miyamoto's glorious return to form. December 2015.
Retro Studio's New Project - Way too soon, maybe teased but won't be shown.
Next Level's New Project - This studio has been too silent for too long, whatever they are working on it's big, announced at E3 released 1st half 2016.
Devil's Third - Itagaki said the game is finished so it'll certainly show up.
Animal Crossing Wii U - Probably in development to be released 27th May 2016
Zelda Wii U - Absent, the more they show this year the less they can show next year. Release 18th November 2016.

Wii U -Atlus
Shin Megami Tensei X Fire Emblem - This will certainly be at E3, new trailer and treehouse demo. November for Japan, sometime in late 2016 for the west.

Wii U - Bandai Namco
Project Treasure - A very intriguing game, It must be funded by Nintendo and probably release 2016.
Pokken - Will be announced and released in 2016 I think, too early for a console port.

 Wii U - Square Enix
Dragon Quest 10 - Nope, not even anything on the virtual console outside of Japan.

Wii U - Level 5
Nothing

Wii U - Capcom
Monster Hunter 4UU - They sent out a survey gauging interest in a Wii U version but I doubt anything will come of it.

Wii U - Koei Tecmo
Fatal Frame 5 - People seem to have forgotten this but there is going to be a western fatal frame movie by the Resident Evil director. The movie and game will most likely be out in September 2015.

Wii U - Other
Rodea the Sky Soldier - Out in September by Yuji Naka and Prope. Hopefully Nintendo put some advertising behind it and don't just sent it out to die.
Tantalus's Wii U Project - No idea.
Fast Racing Neo - Confirmed for E3
Guitar Hero Live - Will probably be mentioned once.
Lego Games - **** tons of lego games as far as the eye can see.

That's about it, but I am also interested in the account system DeNa is setting up. Hopefully there is a reward program similar to digital deluxe where the more games you buy the cheaper the games become.

TalkBack / Re: New Details Emerge For Fire Emblem if

Are people really forgetting that Awakening had ~$55 worth of dlc? For ~137.5% the price of the main game you got ~50% more maps. Whereas in IF for another ~100% the price (assuming each path costs $20) you get ~200% more maps. Anyone with half a brain can tell If is a way better value proposition, and if you want to know if they will pull this outside of Japan you need only ask yourself if Nintendo likes money.

Level 5 also announced Yokai-Watch:Busters and bizarre new ip Snack World for 3DS so they haven't completely jumped ship, but man Layton 7 was a huge punch to the gut. One of my favourite franchises of the DS era reduced to a cheap cash in reminiscent of the original Layton series in name alone. Which is why I will also be voting for him in the Smash Brothers fighter ballot.
