I've got around 56 hours sunk into the game, and I've only had it for a week. It's definitely my favorite game in the series. Of course, I've only played Back to Nature and Tales of Two Towns, but I was never able to make it past winter in those games.
That said, I'm only on on my first winter in A New Beginning, but I've already proposed to my chosen bachelorette (Iroha), and I've got tons of goals to look forward too.

TalkBack / Adventure Time: Hey Ice King! Why’d you steal our garbage?! Preview
« on: November 08, 2012, 11:43:36 PM »Finn and Jake take a cue from Zelda II in the first Adventure Time video game.
http://www.nintendoworldreport.com/preview/32436
Zelda II: The Adventure of Link isn’t exactly a fan favorite when it comes to the Zelda series. But that hasn’t stopped WayForward Technologies from making their latest title, Adventure Time: Hey Ice King! Why’d you steal our garbage?!, a direct homage to the black sheep of the franchise.
Like its inspiration, Adventure Time is a 2D platformer with RPG elements that makes use of an overworld map for travel outside of the platforming sections. However, as opposed to Zelda II’s singular protagonist, Adventure Time follows two adventurers: Finn the Human and Jake the Dog.
Finn is the main character, while Jake rides in his backpack and can transform into useful objects, such as a shield to block enemy attacks, or an umbrella to slow your descent. Both characters can attack by pressing the Y and X button, and battles take place entirely in platforming segments made up of dungeons or random encounters that appear in the form of shadows on the overworld map. To enhance Finn and Jake’s abilities, there are plenty of loot and power-ups to find throughout the Land of Ooo.
Of course, with its similarity to Zelda II aside, Adventure Time is an incredibly popular cartoon series. And fans of the show will be glad to hear that the show’s creator, Pendleton Ward, worked alongside the developers at WayForward to produce the game. As such, you can expect to see the many characters from the show, such as Princess Bubblegum, the Ice King, Lemongrab, and many more. Some of the show’s songs are also included in the game as remixes. In addition to this, the story is entirely original to the upcoming game.
Adventure Time: Hey Ice King! Why’d you steal our garbage?! is set to release on November 20 for the Nintendo DS and 3DS. A demo will be available on the 3DS eShop on November 15.

TalkBack / La-Mulana Review
« on: October 01, 2012, 06:07:19 PM »A hard game for a soft generation.
http://www.nintendoworldreport.com/review/31949
Officially announced for release in 2009 and later dropped by its North American publisher before finally securing a release nearly three years later, it’s a wonder La-Mulana ever made it to the West in the first place. However, the difficulty the game experienced in its localization is parallel to the difficulty I had playing it. To put it simply, La-Mulana is hard.
A remake of a popular retro-inspired PC title, in La-Mulana you play as Lemeza Kosugi, an archaeologist and descendant of ninjas. The game’s story is similarly bizarre, opening with a folk ballad describing the birth and destruction of mankind. Nevertheless, the story appears mostly in the form of stone tablets scattered throughout the world, and acts as little more than a backdrop for what’s really important: the gameplay.
La-Mulana plays similarly to Castlevania, in that main character is equipped with a whip and gains sub-weapons along his journey. Like the Castlevania titles that followed Symphony of the Night, the game also takes places largely in one area, which you gain greater access to as you find items and complete puzzles.
Setting the game apart is its punishing difficulty. It’s easily one of the most difficult games to come out on the market in quite some time. To give an example: I spent three hours playing the game one evening, only to collect an area map. Most of my time was spent dying and returning to the last save point. The difficultly isn’t always the product of quality game design, either. Oftentimes, enemy placement and movement patterns simply feel cheap, and the lack of healing items mean you have to be especially careful. Not to mention that grinding for money is a huge part of collecting better items early on in the game. This wouldn’t be a huge problem if it wasn’t for the fact that you lose all progress since your last save when you die.
However, with the excessive difficulty aside, La-Mulana is anything but a bad game. The game shines when it comes to its boss battles, enemy and item variety, aesthetic, and music. But experiencing all the game has to offer requires determination. La-Mulana is not a game for those without lots of time and patience.

TalkBack / The Last Story Review
« on: August 28, 2012, 12:04:56 AM »A flawed, but respectable addition to the Wii's library.
http://www.nintendoworldreport.com/review/31443
Directed by Hironobu Sakaguchi, the father of the Final Fantasy series, and featuring music composed by the equally revered Nobuo Uematsu, it’s not surprising that The Last Story’s localization garnered so much attention from the gaming media. However, too much attention is never a good thing, especially when a game fails to live it up to its expectations. I don’t think The Last Story is a bad game, but it suffers from a number of technical flaws that diminish what is otherwise a notable addition to the Wii library.
The Last Story follows Zael and his mercenary companions as they struggle to find work on Lazulis Island. Early on in the game, Zael and fellow mercenary Syrenne find themselves trapped by a group of seemingly immortal skeletons. As the situation grows hopeless, a mysterious voice grants Zael the Triforce-esque Outsider’s power. Initially, Zael’s newfound power doesn’t receive much attention from the others, but as the game progresses, the ability serves as a catalyst for an interesting story of deceit, political intrigue, and environmental catastrophe. It also helps that the main characters are likeable—each has an interesting past and personality.
Yet, it’s not the game’s story, characters, or setting I have issues with. Overall, they actually serve as the greatest reason to buy The Last Story. The combat, camera, and missed opportunities, on the other hand, provide enough frustration early on that I hated the game by the two-hour mark. My first problem came with the brevity of enemy encounters early on, as most fights ended before I could personally dispatch a single enemy. This later changed as enemies became too strong for my allies to kill within the first minute, but for a game with such an involved real-time combat system, it’s a bit counterintuitive to limit its use within the first few hours. Additionally, the game’s most unique aspect, the Gears of War-inspired cover mechanic, is criminally underused. Taking cover and sniping an enemy from afar with your crossbow feels great, and the amount of strategy it adds to combat is worthwhile. However, it’s mostly a missed opportunity: with the exception of several great sets, many battles devolve into chaotic messes that involve little strategy or stealth—especially with the help of the game’s finicky camera that often gets stuck on obstacles in the environment. It’s a pity too, as the battles that rely on stealth and strategy are perhaps the most fun I’ve had with a JRPG’s battle system. Boss battles and online play tend to be much better in this regard, though. In fact, I had a blast playing the game’s online versus mode.
That said, the combat system is one of the more distinctive I’ve encountered in a JRPG, and as I passed the two-hour mark my opinion of the game began to greatly improve. The real-time combat is reminiscent of third-person action games, to the point that I’d be willing to call The Last Story an action game with RPG elements, rather than a fully fledged RPG. During battles, you have direct control over Zael, using either the Wii Remote and Nunchuck or the Classic controller. By default, attacks are set to occur automatically, similar to Xenoblade, but you do have the option to map them to the A button. Later in the game you also gain the ability to order your allies to use certain powers or spells. And like Tales of the Abyss’ Field of Fonons system, each spell leaves an elemental circle that provides additional effects to attacks.
With the game’s mechanics aside, The Last Story does have quite a bit going for it, not the least of which is its presentation. While the art style and graphics aren’t exactly the most outstanding, the attention to detail is impressive. Every weapon you equip looks different, as does your armor. When you upgrade your weapons via The Last Story’s Monster Hunter-esque upgrade system, the weapons gain particle effects or auras around them. The town that acts for the game’s hub world is richly detailed, and includes plenty of small secrets to find. Likewise, the music is superb and sets the game’s tone perfectly. It’s exactly what you would expect from Nobuo Uematsu.
While my review may seem overly positive, the game’s small number of flaws are incredibly frustrating at times. That said, if you feel you can look past a few missed opportunities and a flawed but fun combat system, I can’t see why you wouldn’t enjoy The Last Story. Just don’t expect it to be as genre defining as previous Sakaguchi titles.

TalkBack / The Last Story Preview
« on: August 06, 2012, 08:07:15 PM »The Wii's last story is almost upon us.
http://www.nintendoworldreport.com/preview/31149
In a 2007 interview with GameSpot, Hironobu Sakaguchi, head of the Japanese development studio Mistwalker and father of the Final Fantasy series, expressed interest in creating a game similar to Gears of War, the popular third-person shooter series developed by Epic Games. Fast-forward to 2011, and Sakaguchi's interest finally materialized into a game, albeit one very different from the gritty shooter that inspired it. Titled The Last Story, perhaps as a nod to Sakaguchi's previous involvement in the Final Fantasy series, the action RPG melded both Japanese and Western game mechanics, and released to critical acclaim in Japan. Now, more than a year later and after a drawn out fan campaign, the game is finally coming to North America. But aside from a wonderful pedigree, with Hironobu Sakaguchi as director and Nobuo Uematsu as composer, what exactly makes The Last Story worthy of all this attention?
The Last Story follows the main protagonist, Zael, as he and his fellow mercenaries look for work on Lazilus Island. However, in what could be considered a staple of the genre, Zael and friends find themselves wrapped up in local politics and catapulted into an adventure that takes them far beyond their initial hopes for employment and into the middle of Lazilus' environment of ongoing governmental corruption and warfare.
Yet, unlike the sprawling world present in the Wii's other recent high-profile JRPG, Xenoblade Chronicles, Zael's adventure takes place almost entirely in Lazilus City and the surrounding areas on the island. Nevertheless, Lazilus City offers numerous areas to explore, NPCs to interact with, and side quests to complete. Of course, the city also serves as the hub world for The Last Story's main quest, which is said to last upwards of 20 to 30 hours per playthrough.
During this time, you'll control Zael in a third-person perspective reminiscent of the Gears of War series, using either the Wii Remote and Nunchuk or the Classic Controller. This perspective doesn't change in battle; in fact, The Last Story's real-time battle system employs cover mechanics, a staple of the third-person shooter genre. You’re also able to manually aim and fire ranged weapons, such as the crossbow, though melee attacks are performed automatically whenever you or an ally are close to an enemy. Elemental attacks and magic play a role in the game's combat, creating elemental circles that boost surrounded character's attacks. To help plan the perfect strategy, you are also able to give commands to your party members.
In addition to the game's main story, The Last Story features something rather unusual for it's genre—online play. Here, the game's unlikely inspiration shows through in two different multiplayer modes, versus and cooperative mode. In versus mode you can play as one of several characters from the story mode and duke it out with up to five other people from your friends list, or through random matchmaking. Similarly, cooperative mode also joins you with up to five other people, though with the objective to work together and down various bosses from the game's story. In order to do so, you'll even have access to gear you've collected in the main story. And to tie everything together, The Last Story also includes an online leader board ranking players based on their performance.
The Last Story has already been released in Japan and Europe; however, for those in North America, the game will be released on August 14, 2012.

- Kid Icarus: Uprising
- Mario Kart 7
- Super Mario 3D Land
- Castlevania: Lords of Shadow – Mirror of Fate

TalkBack / Brave Review
« on: July 02, 2012, 06:15:14 PM »Get ready to brave the latest mediocre movie adaptation.
http://www.nintendoworldreport.com/review/30925
Brave, Pixar's latest film has just hit theaters. Like most films marketed to kids, Brave has a video game adaptation for multiple platforms. However, in most cases these turn out to be little more than hastily created marketing tools. And sadly, Brave's DS outing is no different.
Brave's story is introduced with a brief animated cut scene. However, the narrative it introduces is quite a departure from that depicted in the film. Instead of embarking on a journey with her mother, who has transformed into a bear, Merida (the film's protagonist) begins the game chasing after her. In fact, Merida's mother is only mentioned in dialog and cut scenes. This is unfortunate, as I'm sure the inclusion of a bear ally could have made for some interesting game mechanics.
With the story discrepancies aside, Brave is a relatively simple action-adventure game featuring a few RPG elements and some rudimentary platforming. The game's basic mechanics actually work relatively well. Merida wields both a bow and a sword, each of which has its own combos and special attack. There are also four elements (air, earth, ice, and fire) that imbue the weapons at any given time, used to activate switches and to take out vulnerable enemies.
 |  |
While the game's mechanics are functional, its difficulty seems unbalanced. For the most part, you can kill everything in the game by spamming the bow, as it interrupts enemy movement and attacks. It doesn't help that you see all the game's enemy types in the first few levels. As a result, the game’s upgradable attacks and equipment feel unnecessary, as you can defeat most enemies by simply standing in place and pressing the A button. Even worse are the game's lackluster bosses, which consist of the same encounter recycled four times. The only difference with each is the enemy’s element and the amount of switches you must activate to begin attacking it.
The game's presentation fairs slightly better. The graphics are rendered in 3D, and while they're not the most attractive on the handheld, they do a fine job of presenting the style present in the film. However, the developers made some odd decisions with game's voice acting. While there are a few lines from Kelly Macdonald (Merida's voice actor), they're few and far between. Yet, oddly enough, most of the game's tutorials are fully voiced and much louder than any other sound in the game.
As a game, Brave is as mediocre and hastily made as we've come to expect from adaptions of popular films. And honestly, it's a pity, as the game's basic mechanics seem to work well enough.
