Ori is new, Entwined is new and Sony reportedly has new IPs coming up

I'm kinda eh on it; on one hand, a good game is a good game; on the other hand, even having new settings and characters can liven up an old idea

in short, I want a new F-Zero

Great job in sneaking in that all-girl anime MMO there for Free to Play. It isn't creepy at all.


you had me excited for a second, making me think something crazy like Scarlet Blade was coming for the PS4

no, it's just Onigiri, which very much isn't all-girl, but is very anime, and it coming over was a forgone conclusion, as the PC version is translated and the game had a client for the PS4's Japanese launch

but hey, that montage was the first confirmation of Kingdom Under Fire 2 coming to the West

I'll just assume that not being able to connect to sb was a side effect from Nintendo hype

anyway, MOUNTAINS, PLAYABLE MIDNA, 2 BAYONETAS, SQUIDS, CANCER, MARIO MAKER REAL

GAMES

I DON'T EVEN SEE WHERE THEY'RE GETTING THE MONEY FOR ALL OF THIS, BUT THEY'RE MAKING MORE GAMES THAN EVERYONE ELSE

seriously, Nintendo as a single company seems to be making more games than any other developer

however, no new F-Zero, so I must dock Nintendo's presser several points and also buy some strong liquor to drown my sorrow

No one is going to cry about the adoption of overpriced DLC toys, which is just STARTING with the new Super Smash Bros. and and inevitably making its way to other games?


well, with other games like Skylanders and Disney Infinity, you're buying a part of the core of the game. with Smash, you get to access some side mode about CPUs fighting each other

I will play Smash U for a billion hours and will never touch a toy, whereas Skylanders and Infinity drive buying more toys

no, I think Nintendo is done now, aside from the surprise DT, MP10, Fantasy Life and Layton vs Ace Attorney announcements

100 bucks for Smash U, a GCN adaptor and GCN controller

there is no other developer that has picked up the legacy of Smash

not even that one time Game Arts, who were contracted for Brawl, made that TMNT fighter

the Dash Fighter Online thing's kickstarter fizzled

if you even dare to suggest Sony Smash, I will slap you

there's only one company doing Smash, Nintendo, and even they don't get it right all the time

I will spend money on Mario Maker if someone proves that you can fully recreate Kaizo Mario on it

not for the sake of making asshole levels, but as a proof of the versatility of the toolset

Nintendo's Twitch stream has an archive of the entire day, from the Direct, the Treehouse Live stream and the tournament

I watched a bunch of Splatoon footage back to back with the R6: Siege trailer and I'm witnessing a world wherein Nintendo has made a more natural flowing, interesting looking and fun shooter (this is ignoring the fact that Nintendo has seemingly made one of the few arena shooters coming to consoles)

splatoon looks great but I'm already dreading the weird erotic fanart it will inspire


what do you mean will

apparently /v/ has been having Splatoon threads all day and they are rapidly approaching 100 pieces of squid girl porn

edit: this is not to be confused with porn of Squid Girl, or Squid Girl herself, whose creator knows about Splatoon and has already done fanart for it

Splatoon has gone viral with the seedier crowds of the internets

let me say this, I dig the fuck out of what Nintendo is doing/did instead of a presser. Sony has been moving in the same direction as well. I want less game journalists giving impressions based off ten minutes and more devs and staff shooting the shit for hours and actually showing off the game.

it's a lion, named Lion, using a weapon called the Lion Launcher

dear Nintendo, please share whatever it is you have with other developers, they need some of it

Sony has put every PS4 game shown in their presser up for pre-order on PSN

yes, even Bloodborne and UC4, which had no gameplay shown during said event

this page needed some cynicism

1. what about Akiba's Trip, a game about stripping people to see of they're vampires

2. I already don't get many beat em ups, don't shame me into not buying this one

see, the difference between those games and Yakuza is that Yakuza is a Sega game. quite frankly, it never stood a chance.

I wasn't asking about Akiba's Trip, but rather trying to defend SK by throwing AT in front of it as an embarrassing game

I've heard lots of good things about SV's versus mode from importers, so I'm kinda confident it'll be a solid if mindless game. Dekamori though, yeah, it looked kinda meh from its first gameplay trailers

and now that I've seen a 60 fps video of Splatoon, I want this game bad. I'm kind of amazed that I'm living in a world where Nintendo has made the shooter I want to play most, even if only by virtue of not being Military Shootman #81.

okay, so E3 is now over and the afterglow is starting to fade. it's time to ask that dumb and meaningless question: who won this industry trade show designed to help retailers order stock

the vibe I'm getting from this thread is that From, No Man's Sky and Nintendo made out pretty well, but I could be wrong

the real winner here is obvious though: 2015.

Yeah, this is pretty much my impression. Splatoon looks really good though. Strange that the Wii U is the console I'm most interested in at the moment.


Could be because its the console most interested in trying to make fun times?

I'm kind of exasperated by people constantly wanting to praise Nintendo for that, though, particularly given the last almost-decade. Just because their software teams are starting to turn a corner doesn't mean that the "they're just such good-natured fun!" rhetoric deserves to return.


I am excited for Splatoon because the developers themselves went on record as saying that they made a concept for a game first, then everything else fell in place. which is why the whole squid thing and how the game plays and how fun it looks comes off so organically

From what I have heard is that the Nintendo Twitch stream was one of the higher ranking Twitch streams during the events time frame. Twitch seems to have a lot of lower common denominator gamers.


well, /v/ was hanging out on the Treehouse stream and they don't even play games
