There's a lot of homage to Shinobi 3 in it, but it's its own game. It starts being dick-hard early on which is nice. Combat system is good, haven't quite figured out all the ins and outs of the scoring system yet.

is the combat like Shinobi 3 where you're tossing kunai or doing a dope dash slash? or is it like a griptonite game where it's almost 2D Devil May Cry? either would be good

SMG2 has tighter, more concise levels, hardly ever repeating itself like SMG did. Also, horizontal gravity levels, I said goddamn.

Also it at least had some challenge to it, SMG was piss easy.

Really? I thought SMG2 was easier. You counting green stars?

Himu · « **Reply #962 on:** November 27, 2011, 11:07:55 AM »

I should get to getting green stars. I think that's why most people love SMG2 more than SMG? Is that where the best of the game lies? I didn't think SMG2 got great until like 60-70 stars in.

cool breeze · « **Reply #963 on:** November 27, 2011, 11:18:25 AM »

no, that's Mario 3DS where the post-game content is worthwhile.

the green stars are simply hidden things to collect throughout old levels. finding and grabbing them is easy and only slightly more challenging than the main game, in that it's still not challenging. It's a lot of "dive off this edge to hit the star, or fall and die" stuff. you do them all to unlock the last challenge stage, which is pretty difficult.

Both galaxy 2 and Mario 3DS have a single challenging level hidden behind all these requirements. Both levels are bittersweet because it shows how the Mario games could be challenging, but it's always only one level.

Himu · « **Reply #964 on:** November 27, 2011, 11:21:17 AM »

But people said it's the post-game where SMG2 really shines.

Himu · « **Reply #965 on:** November 27, 2011, 11:25:59 AM »

Didn't say you specifically said it. I remember on gaf people did say it, though.

"I'm 80 stars in, when does this game get great?" "Post-game!"

cool breeze · « **Reply #966 on:** November 27, 2011, 11:27:36 AM »

you're going through the same levels (literally) for a collectible previously unavailable. it's nothing special.

Mario 3DS remixes the main game levels. Are you sure you're not getting them confused?

Shaka Khan · « **Reply #969 on:** November 27, 2011, 12:05:07 PM »

I'm going through the Remixed, or Special, 8 worlds right now, and they are top quality. They're not even laid out in a conventional "post-game content" kind of way, especially since you're not replaying any levels. I mean they pack 40 new levels. Two thirds of those feel almost brand new. I think some level assets didn't even show up in the main campaign.

Writing them off as padding or fluff is idiotic, imo. I have seen the light.

Galaxy 1 reused entire levels? Where?

Gold Leaf obviously, and Dreadnought is a near-straight remix of Battlerock. Obviously SMG2 recycles a lot of individual building blocks of 1, but nothing like that.

Gold Leaf is the only one I'd give you, Dreadnaught is pretty different from Battlerock.

SMG2 also recycled an entire effing level from SM64 without even bothering to recolor and heavily tweak it like Gold Leaf. I mean I liked the level, but if we're pointing the finger at recycled content...

Himu · « **Reply #974 on:** November 27, 2011, 09:18:56 PM »

Did they carry over any 3d Shinobi-isms (ie. brutal violence, in-depth combo system;etc)

Hahaha, I think I'm in love with this game. It's such a dick. Ran out of lives? Want to continue? S'fine, you can start again from the beginning of the stage. The twenty-minute long stage.

Eh, that doesn't sound fun. Maybe if I knew the game was by bayonetta or DMC team so I knew it'd be fun to replay levels and would always be fair; but Griptonite hasn't really shown they can do much besides make fun metroidvania psuedo-castles to explore. The combat in SD was pretty janky.

Bebpo · « **Reply #985 on:** November 28, 2011, 09:22:59 PM »

Bitch please, I destroy the PS2 shinobi game and games like DMC/NG/Bayonetta on their highest difficulties. Same with the PS2 Contras.

That being said, I love challenging tough as nails games from top of the line developers who can program them just right. Games that are hard because B/C-tier devs can't develop tight gameplay are frustrating and not worth my time. I know you love love love Griptonite, but I really wasn't impressed with them on the DS Spiderman. Yeah it was nice to have a metroidvania game that didn't suck, but that was about the extent of it. They are still B/C-tier devs to me.

Bebpo · « **Reply #986 on:** November 28, 2011, 09:36:34 PM »

Well that's the other thing, I don't like the 2d Shinobi games much. They're ok, but kind of boring to me. The PS2 3d one otoh was amazing and one of the best action games I've played. Even Kunoichi was alright. Was hoping the DS Shinobi would play like those.

cool breeze · « **Reply #987 on:** November 28, 2011, 09:50:57 PM »

I'm fine with hard games unless it feels like poorly designed, cheap attempt at "old skool" difficulty (Contra 4)

oh, I didn't see that Contra 4 comparison lol. Everything else said sounds exciting, though! I thought Contra 4 was pretty rank.

Quote from: Oscar the Grouch on November 28, 2011, 10:01:12 PM

This game is Ninja Gaiden cheap. When you get hit, you fall backwards, and they use that to the fullest extent, haha. I'm actually going to have to be very careful who I recommend this to. It's a great game, but it is hard in that particular way that make most modern gamers cry foul.

Ninja Gaiden cheap can be pretty cheap, but not annoying. My problem with Contra 4 is that it never felt like my fault, or at least something I could anticipate. It was annoying.

But is it really as hard as Ninja Gaiden? the old Shinobi games were never that hard

Bebpo · « **Reply #989 on:** November 28, 2011, 11:15:00 PM »

I didn't think Contra 4 was too hard. It definitely seemed easier than the other Contras; it had a lot of trial & error for sure though.

I find game where you get hit and stuck in a hit frame FAR tougher than any modern "hard" game. The original Castlevanias and Shinobis drive me crazy. Same with NES Ninja Gaiden and the more annoying megaman stages. I'm so glad we've gotten past the hitstun in game design.

Hahah whereas the 1up review kind of deflated even the minimal hype I had. Gotta buy it to play with the kids anyway, but it sounds like the tracks are dishwater dull and the water/hang-gliding is as superficial as it looks.

Lol, GT said the exact opposite. Like exactly. "Best courses and course list in the entire series" and "Gliding adds quite a bit of strategy."

yeah, if you look at Resident Evil 3DS, it looks nice because it has all these effects going on. And then you take a closer look and everything is blocky, poly starved, and muddy.

it's not really that cut and dry

in terms of polygon chucking ability, the wii is better

the 3ds has shaders the wii doesn't, though, and that can make the games look better than wii games if they use them well. it also has a little more ram, but neither system is swimming in it.

i think if both systems were used to their strengths, a 3ds game is probably going to look a little better.

Ah, okay. Grazie.

oh boy a commercial with Justin Bieber! I hate Justin Bieber but this is the smartest business move Nintendo could make. There's no way the Vita will survive this onslaught. The NPD results will force Sony to cancel the system altogether. I can't wait to see Ninty's large, bulbous NPD numbers as a result of this. Their quarterly reports and gross adjusted net income stock options will be so glorious. The general public will see this and know who the top dog is in the house-- you just can't lie with gross adjusted net income stock options and considering their profit margins on the inflation forecasts, everyone will understand that the 3DS just prints money. Also, I saw 10 people by 3DS systems at my gamestop midnight opening.
And I hear that new Super Mario game is good too. Go Ninty!

snaking is fine in moderation. if the game wasn't so damn slow on straights, it wouldn't be needed. reviews seem to be down on the underwater sequences for being even slower, but gliding looks good.
