Nintendo Gaming / AWAY - New ARPG by Sakaguchi

« on: December 12, 2007, 02:06:38 AM »

It's like Soul Blazer or Dark Cloud, but with a twist!

Scan 1
Scan 2

- You have to go into the dungeons, find a villager, rescue him, and escape from the dungeon. So it's a two way journey.
- The dungeons are divided across the two screens, and a timer appears on either side to indicate when that screen will "shuffle" into a different screen. The player must not be on that screen when it shuffles or he will be damaged. If you are damaged in this way while rescuing a villager, the villager will return to the bottom floor of the dungeon.
- The story of the game revolves around a village with a curse that has been going on for 100 years. Each year someone disappears mysteriously. As a young boy named Sword, you enter the dungeons via pillars of light that you find, and attempt to rescue the villagers who have been taken "away", by bringing these people back they will expand and develop the village while introducing new shops to be used as well as unlocking more story events.
- The game is 85% complete and seems to be ready to meet the 28th Feb release date.

(Kudos to the Famitsu-info-finding crew at NeoGAF...)

Nintendo Gaming / Fragile - Namco ARPG

« on: November 19, 2007, 09:46:14 PM »

Developer: tri-Crescendo
Game & Art Design: Seven/Venus & Braves
Producer:  Kentaro Kawashima

Genre:  Exploration ARPG

~ The theme of the game is exploring lonely and empty ruins while encountering things once in a while...
~ The Wiimote will be used to aim the flashlight while you move around
~ The game is set in a future world that "lost its light"...Most of the Earth population suddenly disappeared and the world is now obscured by a cold, evil fog...
~ Seto, the main character, travels this moonlight-bathed world in hope to find other human beings...
~ Your only tools will be your flashlight and your metal or wood tools, which can serve as weapons. With your flashlight you'll be able to dissipate the fog, and even interact with the environments, solve puzzles, and uncover enemies...
~ You can recover your HP by resting near a fire.
~ Attack with the A button. Apparently no Wiimote swinging action necessary...

I can't believe no one has posted this yet...Obviously not super-accurate to what we'll be able to do in Brawl, but it's still a lot of fun to play around with and come up with preliminary stage ideas!  Here's a couple I'm working on right now...





I'm looking forward to seeing what NWRers (eh?) can come up with!

NWR Forums Discord / A rant against Nutritional Facts...

« on: September 18, 2007, 02:26:09 PM »

What are with Nutritional Facts and their pitiful attempt on an estimation of a "single serving"?  I just had a tuna sandwich for dinner and just happened to glance at the side of the can while I was toasting my bread, and what do I find?  Serving size: 2.5  Seriously?  2.5 servings?  Where the hell did that .5 come from?  Wait, before that, how the hell are there even 2 servings in a small can of tuna in the first place!?  A cat can eat a whole can of tuna!  Does the tuna manufacturer think that the average person will take a forkful of tuna, then go "Oh, well that's enough" and stash it in the fridge?  What will happen when they reach that ominous .5 serving of tuna?  Will they have to open a new can of tuna?  Will they be so confused that they decide to quit eating tuna altogether!?  I mean, I can understand if tuna were a really bad food, like what I've seen in pastries where the manufacturer will list 2 servings for a muffin (that happens to have no way of storage, so people just eat the whole muffin anyway) so people aren't scared off by the actual amount of fat and cholesterol in the damn things, but this is TUNA!  Tuna is great for you!  High in Omega-3 fatty acids!  High in protein!  Low in fat!  What do they need to hide?  I'm scared that I've discovered some sort of dark secret that tuna manufacturers have keep hidden for ages.  But I'll never stop eating my tuna, nope.  Mmmm, my 2.5 servings of tuna...

Tuna....tu...*falls over*

NWR Forums Discord / Hats!

« on: August 21, 2007, 04:38:49 PM »

What would you wear as a hat that you usually don't wear as a hat or what people would usually recommend not wearing as a hat?

I'd wear a Metroid as a hat!



Sure it could be a little tight at times, and you might experience dizzy spells every once in a while, but it's a Metroid hat!

Nintendo Gaming / The Official "I WANT THIS MUSIC IN THE GAME" Thread

« on: August 19, 2007, 04:34:37 PM »

I've been listening to a lot of videogame music today, so I started thinking about what tracks I'd like to see in Brawl...For starters:

~ Wario Ware: Smooth Moves Final "Boss" Theme - Put this in with a crazy, randomizing Wario Ware stage and it'd be the best stage ever!
~ Star Wolf's Theme - I'd personally want this thrown into that Arwing Battle stage that I'm hoping for, but the theme is so epic that it needs to be in the game regardless!
~ Sami's Theme/Super Power Theme (Advance Wars) - Because I really, REALLY want Sami (and the awesome soundtrack) to get into the game...
~ Aerie Fortress (Jungle Beat) - Because it's the best theme from the game (and a rocking battle track too!)...
~ Pollyanna w/ vocals (Mother) - Anyone else have the Mother Vocal OST?  Such a great song...
~ Dragon Roost Island (Wind Waker)
~ Dark World Theme (Link to the Past) - I can't believe this didn't make it into the last game...Seriously...
~ Venus Lighthouse (Golden Sun) - Aha, never happening, but... ;_;

Into potential 3rd party territory:
~ Final Fantasy character - Classic FF battle theme
~ Sonic - Green Hill Zone or Lava Reef Zone
~ Tales character - Fighting of the Spirit - There's seriously like a 0.000000001% chance of a Tales character making it into the game, but this is the best battle theme in any RPG ever... ;_;

Okay, I better not get too carried away...

Nintendo Gaming / Tales of Innocence

« on: July 20, 2007, 10:02:44 AM »

Well, I didn't feel like posting DS screens in the Tales topic in the Wii section, so here's a whole new thread!

Update (July 23): TRAILER







Says the battle system (deemed the "Dimension Slide LMBS") will be a mix of Tales of the Abyss' "Flex-Range LMBS" and Tales of Destiny's "Aerial LMBS"...

Looks rather tasty, so hopefully Namco brings this one over...

The game is looking fantastic so far, and I'm really digging the more Zelda-ish direction it's taking...While I'm not holding out for a release this year, I hope SE takes the time to turn this into a gem...

Manabi Straight is completely awesome...Fantastic storyline, characters, production values, and humour, it's almost like watching Suzumiya Haruhi: The Younger Years (with a not-quite-as-selfish protagonist)...

Watch it...WATCH IT NOW!

Reader Reviews / Super Swing Golf (PANGYA!)

« on: December 16, 2006, 03:04:47 PM »

First of all, I don't really know if I've put enough into the game to write up a review, but I've played quite a bit of the PC version so it shouldn't be a problem...Now onto the review!



Super Swing Golf (Why did they take out the PANGYA!? Grrrr...) is Tecmo's first foray on a Nintendo console since...the Super Nintendo!  Quite a long time!  It also marks the first console game Ntreev Soft has been involved in; this game being a "port" of their popular golf sim, Pangya (also known as Albatross 18)...

The first thing I noticed when I got the game was that it's rated E10+..."Why?," I wonder...I flip the game around to the back to see "SUGGESTIVE THEMES"...Oh, I see...HMMMMMM!  Anyways!



Popping in the game, you are greeted with a variety of the expected options in the menu screen: Single Player Mode, Versus Mode, Shop, My Room, Tutorial, Options, and Return to Title...I'm actually not sure what the point of returning to the title screen, unless you are one of those weirdos who likes the Super Swing Golf logo for some reason...The Options menu gives you a tiny selection including your Control Mode (Lefty, Righty, or Button...More on this in a second...), Sound Settings (Mono, Stereo, Dolby Pro Logic II), and Volume controls...Back in the Main Menu, Single Player Mode is made up of PangYa Festa (Story Mode), Stroke Play (Tourney Play), and Match Play (Battle against a single CPU character in a Tourney-style match)...You can unlock characters and caddies by beating PangYa Festa with different characters, and you can unlock goodies by getting trophies in the other two modes...Oh yes, you control your little pointer on-screen to select your choices, and Ntreev has tweaked it really well...I've had no glitching what-so-ever...

One thing to note: the loading...It's not as bad as XBox 360 games, but it's still noticable...Maybe I'm just spoiled by the almost non-existent loading in my other Wii games...It's a shame too, because if Ntreev had been given more time, the loading times would most likely have been fixed...Either way, it's not a huge problem...

Now the most important part, the controls!  So does this match up with Wii Sports Golf?  After some extensive play, I can say that this game's controls are far superior to those in Wii Sports...But first, let's go over the basic map controls...Before you take your shot, you can obviously check out where you are actually hitting by hitting the (1) button to get an overhead shot (When you are in overhead shot mode, you can hold B and zoom in and out by putting your wiimote closer or farther from the sensor, and move in any direction to move the map)...Hit (1) again to get a close camera shot of where the the shot will go, and again to return back to your character...Of course, it's not quite that easy considering you have to factor in wind, the distance you hit the ball, and whether you hook or slice the ball!  Oh right, you also go through your clubs by pressing Up and Down on the D-pad...The line of where your ball will go will obviously increase and decrease depending on which club you use...



Okay, you've spent enough time deciding where to hit the ball, TIME TO ATTACK!  Soooo, what do I do now?  Once you've selected your club, you can now use your cursor to select SHOT to enter swing mode...Then you enter into swinging position and pull the Wiimote back...As you do, you'll see the distance meter for your club go up.  Once you have selected the distance you desire, you can either hold B or hold A...Holding B will produce a practice swing (recommended ) and holding A will produce the real shot...After holding down either button, just follow-through!  Now depending on how much you've twisted your wrist on the follow-through, your ball may hook, slice, or may be perfect! (PANGYA!)  This can be difficult to pin down, because if you **** up, you will most likely **** up HARD...So take as many practice swings as you want so your shot will be a success! ^_^

Once you finally make it onto the green, you'll be pulling out your putter (Well, you don't HAVE to use the putter, but I recommend it...)  On the green, all you do is use the dots in overhead map mode to determine the lay of the green, then just adjust your aim accordingly...You don't have to worry about follow-through all that much when putting, just be sure to watch your distance meter!  (If the lay is up-hill, you need to aim OVER the distance to the pin, and if the lay is down-hill, aim less!)  That pretty much covers the controls...Simple, right? =D

If you get tired of swinging your Wiimote, you can also select Button control...In button control, instead of swinging you just press B to start up the distance meter...HOWEVER, you have no direct control over it, and must press B again at the distance you want it to go!  After you have selected the distance, the meter will come back down to the left...Here there is a pink box with a tiny white box in the middle...You must have good timing to press B again when the cursor is in the white box...If it lies in the pink, it will hook or slice in that direction...

I haven't had much time to get together a Pangya buddy, so I haven't played Versus...I'm sure it's fun though!

Now for what makes Pangya so unique:  SHOPPING!  Over the course of the game, as you win matches and tourneys, you'll earn the currency of the game: Pang.  You obviously spend Pang in the shop!  In the shop, you can buy a huge variety of clothes for your characters, buy caddies (which improve your stats in different ways), clubs (which also improve your stats in different ways), items (which can improve stats or can have some specific one-time-use effect in Match Play or Stroke Play modes), and new clothes for your cute characters...There is also a lottery in the shop where you can spend Dolphi tickets (that you can buy or win in Match Play or Stroke Play) to unlock artwork and items...Once you have selected a cute outfit or bought some items, you can go to "My Room" to equip or dress whatever you bought...For example, I'm using Hana, and I bought her the swimsuit set (I'm sorry, I couldn't help it! )



I went into the "Locker Room" (area where the loading is pretty noticable) and changed her...Oh God, SUGGESTIVE THEMES!  Cameltoe...Seriously, I couldn't believe it either!  I played a few matches with her in the swimsuit, and then I just started feeling really dirty inside...Then I bought her some more conservative clothes, so much cuter...  



In "My Room" you can also access all of the artwork you've unlocked and also access a jukebox!  (Not enough games have this!)


WRAP-UP TIME!

Presentation - Easy-to-utilize menus, a helpful tutorial, a working no-hassle cursor, and more, I really can't complain...The excessive loading times, though, dock this a bit...There is also some framerate woes during story cutscenes, which is really quite odd considering the framerate is rock solid in gameplay...Score: 8

Visuals - Simple, and really not looking all that much better than the PC game, but the game is still very colorful and easy on the eyes...The cutesy anime art style will either make you melt into a pile of steaming goo or make you vomit profusely!  Score: 8

Gameplay - One of the hardest golf games I have ever played, but it still manages to impress me with it's amazingly realistic controls...Be prepared to find yourself cursing at a loli! Score: 9

Audio - Sound effects are solid and the music fits the courses well (and is fun to listen to, to boot!)  BUT IT'S NOT ORCHESTRATED SO IT FAILS RIGHT?  No...Score: 10

Lastability - In the end, it all barrels down to how much you like golf games...Or maybe not because I hate most golf games, yet I'm still playing Pangya after having played the PC version for months...There are more unlockables than you can shake a stick at, and the characters are varied enough that attempting to win all the trophies with each character will take a loooooong time...Score: 10

Loli Factor - Ahahaha, didn't expect this category, did you?    Wait, you did?  Shiiiiiii...Score: 11   (What do you mean I can't go higher than 10?)



Overall - Even if you don't like golf games, I highly recommend you give this game a rental...It's incredibly fun, posts quite a challenge, has a crapload of lastability, and is the closest you can come to playing golf (so far) without actually having to put on ugly plaid shorts and golf cleats!

FINAL SCORE: 9.0 / 10
