Dont bother playing, it ends on a cliff hanger, and the second game a) isnt confirmed and b) probably wont be released for at least 7 years

Play Metroid Fusion instead of (or as well as) Golden Sun, its fucking incredible.

I hadn't 100%'d it before the weekend, the map isn't as nice and non-linear as Zero Mission or Super Metroid but its a good tough game. Some of the shinespark runs you can do in the game are awesome. It was interesting playing it again and reading all of that Samus inner-monologue... the warning signs for Other M were there in 2002. I really hope a good writer and someone with voice-work-sense oversees the next Metroid game if people really have to talk... the thought of them doing dialogue as bad as Other M again, or doing that to Zelda

Fusion is the best VC game there is available atm IMO. The in-emulator manuals on these GBA games is a really nice touch, you can even view them while you continue playing.

How many non-retro tracks have we seen? That's a feckin remake of a SNES track. I wish I could time travel and show myself that in 1992. Really hope they nail the online modes and that battle mode makes a good return.

Maybe I'm crazy but Mario Kart 8 looks really good. Obviously it's nowhere near the graphical quality or complexity of PS4/ONE games but Nintendo really knows how to fully embrace an art style and make it absolutely shine.

It was Retro that made the engine dude. If it was made by a Japanese company it would look like SSBU.

Like what? It's a racing game, there's not a lot of room for innovation. They added the underwater/gliding stuff last time, along with some new power-ups. I'm sure they have a couple of new things this time, too, but at the end of the day, it's a racing game, and within that genre, I'd say the Mario Kart series has actually been a bit bold about changing things up.

I get "I'm sick of Mario Kart", but not "I want Mario Kart, but with more changes". What exactly would you like to see them add?

-I like to see more focus and skill on taking short cuts (like you could with the feather in the first game)
-I like to see an overhaul with the powerups a bit. Let me guess blueshell is still in this? You know that annoying fucking shit that punish racers for being in the lead. It's been in the series forever now.
-I also like narrower tracks, usually it is wide like an ocean.
-Some shorter tracks like baby park. It's the only supershort track in the series. I hate when the laps drag forever.
-I dunno, I got Mario Kart 7 for 3DS and that was kinda underwhelming. I am probably burnt out thus the ridiculous complaint.

I like that about it. It looks like figurines racing. It's what Smash Bros should look like seeing as how it's actually about figurines fighting. The game is impressive for the hardware considering it runs at 720p, 60fps, and it look like that, especially compared to the Sonic or Modnation/LBP kart racers.

as for what changes to make with the series, look at diddy kong racing, crash team racing, or either sonic kart racer. not saying it needs to make those changes. the mario kart series does well using its same formula since 92.

and while I'm bummed that nintendo is embracing its new hardware by making the same old games with better graphics, the last mario kart I spent time with was mario kart ds about 8 or 9 years ago. I might be interested in getting mario kart 8.

What exactly about those other kart racers should we be looking at? A more robust single player mode? That I agree with.

Apart from that, the only thing I can really see is a different driving model (like Sonic's Outrun-based style), but that would be pretty weird and truly change for the sole purpose of change. They've already nicked the flying thing from DKR, and All-Stars Transformed nicked flying/water from MK7.

It's all just one big incestuous gangbang anyways.

a slime appears · « **Reply #10156 on:** April 08, 2014, 08:23:00 AM »

All I want from a modern Kart Racer is a decent single-player campaign. I'd be ok with what they did for Mario Kart DS for example.

Also if you guys desperate for MK8 and haven't tried Sonic & Racing Transformed do so IMMEDIATELY.

radioheadrule83 · « **Reply #10157 on:** April 08, 2014, 09:49:58 AM »

I would be stoked if the MK team were aware of the competition from Sumo's Sonic Racers... Racing Transformed is incredible value as a single player game with unlockables; it kept it more interesting than previous Mario Kart titles have, where you're just unlocking characters, karts and parts every few cups. In S&SASRT, it felt like every new move on the map could be a new stage or a twist on an existing stage. The multiplayer online wasn't as simple to get into nor as fun as Mario Kart though. The perfect Mario Kart for me would add Sonic Racing style map twists and challenges, but go for insane value on the online multiplayer races and battle modes as well. I'd be happy with a traditional Mario Kart offering given its coming soon and it looks as great as it does, as long as there's the promise of a little free DLC and stuff down the line too.

You're crazy, it still looks hella cartoony to me. Look at Sonic All Stars, that's even more "realistic." MK8 looks like what I had imagined a full HD Mario Galaxy to look like...

The only things super realistic about it are the lighting and the water reflection.

Yeah honestly the handling was so weird in racing mode that my entire family just played the original for balloon battle. The stages seemed a little creepily huge and empty with just two players and no CPU's, though. Still fun.

I probably clocked 50+ hours in MKDS just balloon battling CPU's over and over. Fuck that was fun.

i guess they revealed charizard because since "no switching" is now a thing, there is no more pokemon trainer (which also means squirtle and ivysaur are probably getting ditched forever) greninja is cool as "there is now a videogame ninja" point of view but yeah it's not exactly the most exciting character ever...

If the 3ds game was easier to make and is done, no reason to not send it out. WiiU version is going to tank regardless. Maybe some suckers end up double dipping because of the separation. Adding some exclusive WiiU character after the 3ds game is out wouldn't be a bad idea

Lol it was a "problem" with Brawl but now it's almost comical how much hold Pokemon has on Smash.

Gen 1: Pikachu, Charizard, Jigglypuff (presumably)
Gen 2: :'(
Gen 3: Who gives a shit
Gen 4: Lucario
Gen 5: :'( (assloads of Pokeballs though, looks like)
Gen 6: Greninja

Thing is every new generation introduces more than a couple Pokemon that'd be awesome for Smash, which is about 15000% more characters than Nintendo otherwise introduces per a console generation.

Smash 5 will probably have half the roster be Pokemon and it'll be glorious.

I figured when Bamco took over development they'd be able to smack some sense into Sakurai about a number of competitive issues. Wouldn't surprise me if Final Destination Mode was their idea. I also have a lot more faith in the balancing of characters and whatnot with them handling things.

I mean, I've never played Tekken, but it's presumably more balanced than Brawl or Melee were, which both had about three viable characters in the competitive scene. (And in fact, even in the non-competitive scene, Metaknight could get you punched in the eye when playing with friends.)
