N64 called and want its missing game back. The controls looks floaty and terrible, and I see no resemblance of the old Kid Icarus games. Basically it looks like Starfox Assault with  crappy combat.

Those of you that haven't played Kid Icarus of Myths and Monsters on the original gameboy should do so over this pile of dung.  :poop

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

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.

yeah, I think it looks fun.  Sin and Punishment 2 was incredible, but partly because of how well the controls worked.  That's actually what worries me about this game; it has the same metroid prime hunters stylus aiming that was awkward and uncomfortable.

I have to get around to finishing Dead Space iphone (or playing more than half an hour).  I thought the controls were pretty good for that style of game, probably because of the slow pace and corridors, and a lot of smartly designed context sensitive actions.  I tried some of those gameloft demos and all of them control like junk.

and on my 4S, Dead Space runs smooth and looks sharp.  I like that iOS software scales with each new device.  Which will probably suck once they upgrade to a more powerful device and the 4S gets the new games running poorly.

You Nintards have been bitching about getting a new Kid Icarus since 1996 with the N64.  Now you losers got it.

The truth is that these games are rarely as good as you remember them and some concepts that worked in 2D are unworkable in 3D.  I don't want to hear your crybaby bullshit in the future when stuff like a Mother 4 gets passed over.

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.

I liked that it was vertical oriented, and its atmosphere was as good as any NES game I've seen. I never felt like its controls were janky either. The big thing I can complain about though is that it's really short on content. I think basically just four stages (well eight if the dungeons count.)

Need to play the GB game, I'm hopeful it gets released for 3DS VC.

I don't care at all haha.  When a fun-looking game comes around, I want to play it.  Whether its for iPhone, 3DS, 360, or even -gasp- wii.  The trailer makes the game look fun.  I have no true interest or nostalgia regarding Kid Icarus the character/NES game, but I think this looks pretty enjoyable.

Dead Space on iOS was alright, but I had a hard time with the controls.  A lot of virtual stick games just rub me the wrong way.

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.

I 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.

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***

It's shameful that Wii U is the next console I'm most likely to buy  :'(  Depends on what the launch lineup is.  New Zelda or quality Mario (NSMB or 3D Land, I'll pass) or maybe even Retro's next game.  I was burned by the PS3 and 3DS for buying them without any real compelling software in the first year.  Sony and MS don't have a lot of exclusive software that'd get me stupid.  There's not much from MS that I'd care about now that PGR is done; Banjo Nuts and Bolts 2, a proper Crackdown 3, um, Halo series in in a weird place so it depends on Halo 4, maybe another Shadow Complex.  For Sony, Naughty Dog's next gen game (depending on how The Last of Us turns out cause Uncharted 3 was disappointing) and Sucker Punch's next game.

I'm mostly excited for next gen for better looking PC games than more hardware.

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.

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.

also, donkey kong country was a bad series of games turned into the great Jungle Beat and good DKC Returns.

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.

StarTropics is great! (and I don't think Zoda's Revenge is that bad!) the series doesn't get the same obnoxious reverence as Kid Icarus or Mother.

another series that was great and more or less killed by weaker games is Wario Land.  Wario Land VB to 4 are great.  Wario Land Wii is a pretty (but) dull game, and that DS game was poor.

3DS for buying them without any real compelling software in the first year. 

You mean first six months right? After that 3DS has bee pretty good.

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.

Eh, I call BS. I remember more than a couple people making photoshops of "Kid Icarus Revolution" circa 2005. It's always been beloved by a certain segment.

there are more deserving old Nintendo games worthy of sequels, like Drill Dozer, Mole Mania, and StarTropics.

Drill Dozer is barely six. But I would love to see it revisited.

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.

I lol'd. The best we can hope for is Pokemon becomes even more wildly profitable that they hire more team members, who can make an eShop sequel in between games.

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.  About the same length from PS3 release until Uncharted 1.

Like the PS3 there were good games between release and that.  I liked Resistance (multiplayer was great), Folklore, and Heavenly Sword.  For the 3DS, I like Zelda 64 port and Mario 3D Land; I haven't played Pushmo yet but I heard enough praise from trustworthy people, but include that too.  Neither library up until that point has been worth the cost.  Actually, PS3 was slightly better because I used it a lot for watching blu-rays and playing PS2 games.

btw, this is a general sentiment, but whenever someone opens a post with "Eh" there's a zero perfect chance anything that follows will be worth reading, so I don't.

You're pretty mean and bitter.  I'll chalk it up to teen angst.

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.

I'd agree if it was just Wario Land VB, but the Gameboy games that followed were great.  Out of the four between the gameboys, the only one I don't remember fondly is 3. 

Quote
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.

Shinobi was the one I forgot.  I want to pick that up for the 3DS.  Those other ones I didn't buy because I didn't want them.  I'm sure I would be more favorable towards it if I did, which is like saying I would've liked the PS3 more if I didn't have a PC or 360 at the time.

As for PS2, since we're dipping into the past, I didn't buy one at launch.  I was still a kid in 2000.  The reason I wanted one was for Armored Core 2.  It took saving up, selling my PS1, and a holiday to convince my parents to buy one.  I never really noticed the dearth of games for it, or the Gamecube, N64, and other systems, until I was older.  When I had enough money to buy anything I wanted, I got a different perspective about these things.  Back then Armored Core 2 or Chameleon Twist was the one new game every blue moon.  Now I buy games and let them sit in my backlog  8)

I think Zone of the Enders might have been my second PS2 game.  I had Yanya Caballista City Skater at some point too but returned it after two days.

to be fair, it's not just a linear rail shooter.  a big part of the game is a third person shooter/brawler.  there's also online versus multiplayer.   plus there's a collectible AR card game component.

I don't know about this system seller stuff, but it seems to be feature packed.  I'm thinking it's the online multiplayer that's supposed to catch on or something.

pretty much.  a system seller to the average person was Wii Sports or Nintendo Dogs.

system sellers for me have been Armored Core 2 (PS2), Shenmue 2/JSRF (Xbox), Shinobido 2 (Vita), PGR3 (360), and Twilight Princess a month early (Wii). so yeah.

Gonna have to disagree with you there.  And I'll take the 3DS launch over the PS2 and PS3 launches...especially since I imported the PS2.  It had jack shit for almost a year, and that's not hyperbole.  RRV wasn't as good as RR4, SFEX3 was a rushed mess, Tekken Tag was good, and there was a port of DOA2 (not Hardcore, just DOA2)...yay.

Those games are lightgun games and while fun, are't exactly the type of rail shooter I'm talking about. I prefer shooters where you have control over your avatar but no freedom towards where you can really go, hence games like Panzer Dragoon or Sin and Punishment. Nintendo has revived the genre with recent efforts coming from Sin and Punishment 2, Starfox 3d, and the new Kis Icarus. Child of Eden, too, is a recent rail shooter.

It's the same thing as people telling Skyrim stories and posting what happened with screen shots.

Fuck no it's not the same, because I can actually do the shit irl that you're posting in the Sims. I like my escapism to be, you know, escapism.

And trust me, it says more about you that you like that "game"

All games are wastes of time when you get down to it, can't really throw stones when you live in a glass hovel.

Then again I used to enjoy Animal Crossing so YMMV.

i don't mean sad as in your emotional state, himu

so it's sad people like sharing things they enjoy about the games they play? Even non-nerds and non-gamers do this.

I hope the upcoming HotD ports have Guncon support. Would rather buy that instead of a Move. [/completely unrelated post]

I wish.  Guncon 3 is basically just a Wii remote with more precision.  Mine has been in my closet for years.

Move works great for pointer games (Dead Space Extraction) but since it's about relative position, I don't think it'll be good for replicating the arcade light gun experience.  At least the HotD and Ghost Squad games on the Wii had a no-cursor mode which worked fine.

Sims doesn't have enough babbly animals for me.
I'm gonna use Himu for exotic fruits in Animal Crossing and then quickly excise him from my friend roster.

Animal Crossing has certain elements I like, but has too much stupid trading and loot whoring for its own good.

The Sims is a far better simulation game that allows better and more control over your characters and the town you live in. Making houses in the Sims is an art. Making a house in Animal Crossing is like getting a handjob. Very little customization and control compared to The Sims, which is really more of a sand box more than anything.

Depth aside, The Sims has more interesting storylines and shit. I like playing as psychotic aspie addled characters who are morally ambiguous, and possibly evil and seeing how they interact with the townspeople.

I'd like to see Animal Crossing do this.

Handjobs are only good if accompanied with a bj. Handjobs by themselves, 95% of the time suck.

I've dealt with handjobs 100% of my life, what's one more from someone else.

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

Can we keep the 3DS bashing/Nintendo fans bashing to the general 3DS thread?  I keep thinking this thread is about Kid Icarus for some reason and open it to find handjobs and blowjob comparisons  :-*

One time a girl and I went to dinner with her family. Her sister was sitting right next her. I played drumline on those panties and made em cream in the backseat while having a chat with her dad.

Haha, dick.

This is why I will curse the clouds if I have a daughter. :(

Pretty sure he's nintendo-sexual.  Probably keeps humping his stuffed mascot dolls, but in the end gets the same amount of satisfaction from them as he gets from Nintendo's actual games.  Poor bastard.  :(
