Angry SantaC thread.
Game looks pretty hot in that video besides the ugly 3d graphics, but c'mon its 3DS, of course the graphics will suck. The gameplay looks fast and exciting. Cool boss fights. Sakurai is a really good game designer, so I'll trust him on this being kick-ass.
Spoiler: My iPhone has over 3 dozen shooters that look better and play better for under $1.00.
All of you Nintendo fans amuse me- you'll bitch about it, then buy it because you can't help yourselves, then tell us the fun really starts about 40 hours in.

I don't know why people keep saying this looks like a game for the N64 when it clearly looks like one for the Saturn.
::)
NES game wasn't awesome or anything but it was a solid platformer with some neat ideas and otherwise great atmosphere.
hahahah it's so weird to have someone who wasn't even born when i played this the first time telling me this
anyway, even at the time the game came out, it felt janky. its "neat ideas" were largely lifted from other nintendo efforts, notably metroid which did everything better than this, and the atmosphere was terrible. ooh, columns and black backgrounds, oh my, this is really giving me a sense of place. back then, it was sub-par for nintendo, and time hasn't done it any favours.
i'll give it exactly one thing, and only one thing: it had good music.
MORE RAIL SHOOTERS

What does shenmue have to do with rail shooters
SantaC, do you derive any sort of enjoyment from video games at all?
watching 360/ps3/pc game videos must be like watching the jetsons if you only own a wii or 3ds
some far-away crazy cartoon future where everyone has robot maids and flying cars and talking dogs
it can't really exist, and wouldn't matter if it did, because what you have should be enough for anyone
until later this year when all of a sudden it mattered all along
In reality, the 'expungent mouthbreathers' are a minority in Nintendo's base. I've personally only seen one in the wild. His oral communication speech was why the gamecube was SOOOO awesome. Nintendo knows they don't matter and will continue to kill off c tier franchises the nerdlinger collective think *should* exist.
I'm just gonna keep enjoying the games that they do put out while not really giving a fuck if some other box out there has better fillrates or some other fluff.
I feel the console wars are predicated on an insatiable need for new content that self proclaimed 'gamers' convince themselves they need. I was like this at one point. But like those assholes I was spending too much money on too many platforms and too many games and never getting around to the backlog. I need consolidation in that regard, and my preference for Nintendo's design philosophy means I'm gonna spend a few hundred dollars on platforms that host Nintendo software and make due. It seems to have e-cred you have to want every platform and every highly regarded game and if you don't then GET OFF THE INTERNET.
Fuck that noise. And fuck the binary way of thinking that has infected society's every facet. I genuinely don't care about what stupid reasons people have for liking the stupid shit they like. Well, I'm doing my best not to care anyway, Kingdom Hearts fans make it hard.
QuoteI genuinely don't care about what stupid reasons people have for liking the stupid shit they like.
and it's to you credit you feel that way.
My personal bugbear is that people -don't- say "FUCK YOU, i'll play what the fuck i want on whichever platform i want to, thanks" - there's no need for reasoning, it's when people start pulling out contrived reasons for their choices where it all becomes a big mess.
One person in particular i know personally - my brain feels like melting every time we discuss their choice for buying/not buying certain games and hearing them contradict themselves makes me want to whipout the slap hand.
Here is one example :
> "I loved Monster Hunter Tri - one of my favourite games ever. Amazin"
Why not play the PSP Games?
> DUDE! I'm not playing Monster Hunter on a fucking handheld.
(skip forward in time)
> OMFG ! MOnster Hunter 3G on 3DS ! Most hyped for a monster hunter game ever!!!!
... i thought you wouldn't play it on a handheld?
> No, i won't play the PSP games because they are too easy!
... you never played them
> I read about them though, too easy. Tri/3G are the only hard ones.
#facepalm
here's how it should have went :
> OMFG ! MOnster Hunter 3G on 3DS ! Most hyped for a monster hunter game ever!!!!
... i thought you wouldn't play it on a handheld?
> Fuck you, i'll play what the fuck i want.
Quotestill gonna buy a wii u though
yup, i'll be there like a toothless simpleton buying one on day one as well. :/
lots of egg on everyone's faces to go around this gen
nintendo fans as per dcharlie
sony fans on: backwards compatibility, rumble, connectivity, achievements, touch controls, waggle, the importance of third party exclusives, YLOD, sales don't matter
microsoft fans on: motion control, the importance of first party exclusives, account hacking, mandatory hard drives, bungie, bioware, sales don't matter oh wait now they do matter
gamers in general on the whole "I ONLY GONNA PLAY GAMES WITH A CONTROLLER, EVERYTHING ELSE* IS BABBY SHIT", a large percentage of which have got to be covered by now by smartphones, kinect, vita**, move**
with all this lack of logic and arguments collapsing in on themselves and hypocrisy you would almost think gamers are human beings or some shit***
* AND BY THIS I MEAN STUPID NINTENDO
**lol not a very big percentage coming from these
***except opiate
PC gamers don't suffer from embarassing hypocrisy, they suffer from impotent superiority complexes, which is arguably as worse, but about as twice as annoying.

I thought Nintendo had/has good localizations? That's what everyone keeps telling me with their 8-4 outsourcing and usage of Treehouse for in-house localization
X720 and PS4 get shown. The sound of turds splatting on Wii U pads is heard on Jupiter.
I never understood why anyone wanted a new Kid Icarus anyway.
I never understood why anyone wanted a new Kid Icarus anyway.
Masturbatory nostalgia and confining themselves to consoles that don't offer enough games to begin with, so they have to sit around and play the "what if they released X" game instead.
Star Tropics is almost as bad as Kid Icarus, plus it already got a crappy sequel. Mole Mania is awesome but there isn't much potential there for a sequel aside from some kind of e-shop thing. I'd love to see a sequel to Drill Dozer though. Maybe whenever that team's other series becomes unprofitable they'll get a chance to sequel DD.
3DS for buying them without any real compelling software in the first year.
that's true and all, but Kid Icarus' status as a good series was added to nerd canon after Smash Bros from people who haven't played Kid Icarus.
there are more deserving old Nintendo games worthy of sequels, like Drill Dozer, Mole Mania, and StarTropics.
I'd love to see a sequel to Drill Dozer though. Maybe whenever that team's other series becomes unprofitable they'll get a chance to sequel DD.
Eh, whenever I read one of your posts I know it's worthless, so I usually don't bother anyways. ::)
I feel Wario Land VB really has an undeserved unicorn status thanks to being one of the few VB games worth playing. When it came out and I got it, at no point was I going "hell yeah, this is awesome" - rather, I was going "well, this isn't awful, how refreshing". It's only above average in the context of the VB's library.
To chime in on the extreme 3DS value debate, I feel like it's been worth it to me. Just barely, but yar, between Ridge Racer, Starfox and Zelda ports, Super Mario 3D Land, Shinobi, Pushmo, Mario Kart 7, the wealth of roms they have dumped on me and the few roms I bought myself (Gargoyle's Quest, Bionic Commando)... I'm okay with it now. The first six months was awful though - reminded me of the PS2 where I didn't play anything but PS1 games and SSX until GT3 came out.
i demand an onimusha collection
Star Tropics is almost as bad as Kid Icarus, plus it already got a crappy sequel.
I am SO KEEN for a Clover Studios Collection, with HD versions of Okami, Viewtiful Joe, and God Hand. WITH ACHIEVEMENTS :drool+1
So bad it makes you sell your system?QuoteP.S. Kid Icarus Uprising is going to flop.
i saw it listed with "System seller" next to it
i pissed myself laughing.
back then, it was sub-par for nintendo
I think the most I laughed was when the stupid Mach Rider 3DS rumor was going around, now they want Mach Rider :lol
Man, I remember waiting for what I thought would be an inevitable SNES sequel to the original. At least Castlevania and Metroid got fleshed-out 2D iterations.back then, it was sub-par for nintendo
Hey now. I've got as much nostalgia for the NES as anyone, but we're talking Wrecking Crew/Gumshoe/Balloon Fight/Donkey Kong Jr. as contemporaries. That's not exactly a murderer's row.
I'm not certain how a linear rail shooter is a system seller

Yeah, but you're not the average person thinking about buying a 3DS.
I mean, I bought a PS3 because of Gundam Musou.

Dude, Wrecking Crew and Balloon Fight are fucking AMAZING!!!!!
If I meant first six months I would have said six months. 3DS still hasn't been worth it. Resident Evil Revelations in February is the first game that might be worth it, which is just about a year since the thing released.
Even if you like rail shooters it looks like shit.
You think every game looks like shit.
Game looks fun!

It is for me! Rail shooters > every other type of shooting game

I was just fucking with you, but there actually are a decent amount of rail shooters.

Resident Evil Umbrella Chronicles
House of the Dead 3
House of the Dead 4

If you were a big Zelda fan that didn't matter, you'd need it as soon as it was out. Also, the Wii controls aren't nearly as bad as they're made out to be.

Handjobs are awful. Who the fuck likes handjobs?
Handjobs are only good if accompanied with a bj. Handjobs by themselves, 95% of the time suck.
that's only half the reason handjobs suck. if i want to use a hand, I would use my own. You aren't going to make me shoot jetson rockets out of my dick with your hand any time soon, honey.
handjobs are awesome when you get them in places you shouldn't, like when you're having a conversation with someone who doesn't realize youre getting jerked off
I've never been able to get off from a handjob or a blowjob.
