last time there was a kee-razy crossover game that made it over it didn't work out so well.

joking aside, this is kinda awesome. Not that I'm going to buy it, but if something like this can be profitable to bring out here then the sky might as well be the limit on wacky jappiness.

Be real Andrex. This game doesnt feature Monster Hunter or Pokemon. What interests you?

You called Fire Emblem "just a J-Game" -- having never played the series before, only experiencing them through Smash Brothers.

I'm not telling you not to buy anything. But from what you've demonstrated across your posts, there's no reason you should be interested. I'm sure your intense passion will flare up come October for X Y, though.

Tasty · « **Reply #1038 on:** January 21, 2013, 08:04:28 PM »

I'm interested enough by some of the characters being included to check out the demo, and whether I buy the full game depends on that, sure. I'm not a complete dope saying "OMFG DAY ONE!!! Wait what kind of game is it?" (no offense Joe)

Also, October is a while away and I need stuff to play in the meantime.

Etrian Odyssey 4 demo Feb 7

Quote

The demo lets you get a taste of the first bit of the game, including the obligatory tutorial dungeon, some of the first dungeon, and the first skyship area. Nice! Even the main dungeon's sidequests will be available, complete with all the skills, equipment and classes that would be available to you in this early part of the game.

In towns, QR code Guild Exchages and QR gifts are also available for use. Best of all, all progress in the demo transfers over to the full game. Now that's how you do a demo, folks

Quote from: IGN

Dark Moon won't just support local play, but online and download functionality as well, for up to four players, with the download functionality removing some features. Whether your friends are near, far or don't even own a copy of the game, you'll be able to join them for some ghost busting fun.

Nintendo was only willing to provide so many details on what Dark Moon's multiplayer, titled "Scarescraper," will contain. Only the cooperative Hunter Mode was revealed, implying more to come. But Hunter Mode still packs plenty of potential, as players, taking on the roles of multi-colored Luigis, navigate floors and rooms of a haunted tower packed with ghosts of all varieties, including bosses. Coordination and communication are key here, as some of these enemies are quite fierce.

Hunter Mode contains a considerable amount of options and variables. Players can determine the number of floors they must conquer, including an option for their climb to never end. There are also three difficulty levels, the middle of which is certainly challenging enough. And, if that wasn't enough, players will be able to acquire upgrades for their vacuums, both through a cumulative effort to acquire treasure as well as randomly assigned bonuses at the end of a level - assuming players can earn them by quickly acquiring several red coins once all the ghosts have been defeated.

Key to all of this are two ideas - every floor and every boss comes with a time limit. If it expires, you all lose. Efficiently disposing of your enemies and properly exploring your environment is absolutely essential. But that leads to the next important notion - the floor layouts and enemy layouts (and types) are completely random. In essence, no experience will ever be quite the same.

Cooperating with your fellow players is essential in the game, and you'll be able to keep track of where they are through a lower-screen map. This isn't just useful for knowing which rooms to clear, but where to go if an ally falls in battle. A quick press of a button will revive a friend, with hearts being available throughout with a bit of exploration. And while cooperation - for upgrades, for treasure, for survival - is necessary, individuals will be judged based on their performance through statistics and more personalized awards. Fail to kill many ghosts, and the game will label you as 'Mostly Harmless' for all to see.

There's no doubt more to Dark Moon's "Scarescraper" modes. Considering how entertaining 'Hunter Mode' turned out to be , it'd hardly surprise us if Luigi's Mansion's multiplayer becomes just as noteworthy as its main 'Quest Mode.'

luigi's mansion 2 is probably the only retail 3ds game I'm looking forward to (including digital, space harrier 3d). the multiplayer could be novel if they tossed in some ghostbusters nods to facilitate teamwork. that was one of the disappointing things about the ghostbuster game; just felt like a horde mode and failed at capturing the ghostbusters experience.

and are people upset about this? the nature of games people (to heavily generalize) is that adding multiplayer is always bad.

demi · « **Reply #1048 on:** January 24, 2013, 09:51:42 PM »

I don't really care that there's multiplayer, I would imagine Nintendo wants it shoehorned in all of their games at this point. As long as there is a good single player game included as well...

Waluigi is awful. I've noticed a surprising amount of fans asking for him in major Mario games also has a 90% crossover with the degenerates who crave more of Sonic's shitty friends.

I'll second the Waluigi love. Not only is he an admirably terrible character design, but the guy owned the net in Mario Tennis.

Raban · « **Reply #1053 on:** January 24, 2013, 10:41:42 PM »

The only thing wrong with Waluigi is that Nintendo hasn't allowed him to star in his own game.

Steve Youngblood · « **Reply #1054 on:** January 24, 2013, 10:45:34 PM »

Waluigi was a Camelot creation, right? Whatever happened to those guys?

TakingBackSunday · « **Reply #1055 on:** January 24, 2013, 11:06:45 PM »

I was under the impression that Camelot was basically no more as a company? I thought I remember reading that basically Nintendo hired out everyone and dissolved the company.

tiesto · « **Reply #1056 on:** January 24, 2013, 11:19:34 PM »

I didn't like Waluigi at first, namely because he came out of the N64 era when I (and I'm sure many other people) first started to become jaded with Nintendo... just thought he was really cynical even if by that time I understood where the name came from (Wario at least makes perfect sense in both Japanese and English, Waluigi becomes much more awkward in English). Though I don't mind the character that much anymore, I see him as more of a Dick Dastardly-esque reference if anything, and wouldn't mind seeing him outside the sports games.

Single player deets:

Quote

After the unexpected delight that was the multiplayer mayhem, we were dropped into the first big boss battle of the single-player campaign. Dark Moon, to refresh your memory, features five mansions to the original's one, and each has a big, bad ghostie to deal with at its apex. After the Dark Moon shatters in the valley, the ghosts go bananas, and it’s up to cowardly Luigi to piece the Dark Moon back together to restore peace.

While flitting about with multi-colored Luigis in the multiplayer was endearing, the younger, more handsome brother's character really shines in the single-player. Luigi’s scaredy-cat nature is a goof, but it's adorable and endearing all the same. Whether he was shivering in his boots or doing a little celebratory post battle jig, Luigi never failed to bring a smile to my face.

As for the actual boss fight, it tests your wits as much as it tests your reflexes, asking you to employ much of your arsenal in surprisingly creative ways. I haven't been impressed by this level of puzzle solving in a boss fight for some time. It felt simultaneously old-school and fresh; I'll leave you the specifics of the battles so you can work it out on your own.

Just last week I was hearing people lamenting over Dark Moon’s vanishing act. I'm here to tell you it's alive and well. Beyond well. It's really, really cool, spooktacular even. I think fans and new players alike will find it's been worth the wait.

My pallet it formless and undefined. I don't know what I like, except that I didn't like FF3 DS at all, and obviously, I love Pokemon.

I wound up buying Tales of the Abyss based on a friend's urging and wound up really digging the combat, so I'm in a more free spirited frame of mind with JRPGs than I usually am.
