stuff4fun: Because of this partnership, a Shining Force and Fire Emblem crossover should be made.

spinner981: I'm not saying they haven't made good games. Personally though, if they are releasing games with even just a 50% chance of being awful, that is a nosedive in quality. I don't know how many sonic games there has been, but it is a reliable general consensus that they have gone down in quality. Would anyone say that any of those games are up to par with sonic adventure 1 or even 2?
5/17/13 11:06pm
Ferret75: What about Sonic Unleashed HD (not SD), Sonic Colors, Sonic 4: Episode II, and Sonic Generations? Those were all great games.
5/17/13 9:50pm
Double-T: True, that is a valid point. However, when comparing Donkey Kong Country Returns on console to the 3DS versions, they are almost identical.

TwistoFate: I'm surprised Screwattack didn't tear this post down, they seem very angry at Nintendo right now

I'm looking forward to Game & Wario, Wonderful 101, Animal Crossing: New Leaf, and Pimin 3 :)

LeoSmashRoyale: Still no news of Earthbound's release date? Also, i may hold out on the Super Luigi U DLC just to get the snazzy green case.

Which means YouTubers are about to lose a bunch of money...
5/17/13 11:29pm
BitCloud21: This seems foolish to say the least. Let's Play people will play less Nintendo games instead of continuing to play them and giving ad revenue to Nintendo and thus Nintendo will get less free press. I have bought several games after seeing a Let's Play and deciding the game looks very fun. If Nintendo wants other games to get free attention instead of their games, then it is their loss. I hope they change this decision in the future.
5/17/13 6:27pm
Jack_Red89: No Nintendo for being such assholes. You know what I officially loss my respect for them. This is the final straw Nintendo fuck all of yous.
5/17/13 5:47pm
Cpt grUmpy: Nintendo claiming ownership of a Let's Play is like Gibson claiming ownership of a song posted on Youtube.
Just because you made the instrument does NOT mean you own the art produced from it.
Also, before somebody says "lol whut art from a LP?" I would recommend they think of the performance aspects of playing the game and the commentary of it as well. Should Capcom get ownership of the Daigo vs Justin Wong matchup? Why not, it's THEIR game? Should Nintendo get money from any AVGN videos? Why not, it's THEIR game?
The personality and playthroughs made by the video creators are why people watch LPs, Nintendo does not make the AVGN's remarks funny, Capcom did not make that awesome comeback that Daigo performed, and this is excessive.
5/17/13 2:12pm
Flapperdoodle: Eh, I would be mad about this, but there isn't anything they are doing that they aren't or wouldn't be allowed to. It's just kinda... happening.

I will say though, to whomever this is effecting, sorry you may lose money for this. I mean, I don't want to sound bad-mouthy or anything. Good luck to those who are being affected.
5/17/13 1:48pm
Blue Madness: I never said they are doing it strictly for money. But like I said to the other guy, there are people out there who make a living out of this. Especially people like Chuggaaconroy and NintendoCapriSun, who mostly do Nintendo stuff (or ONLY, in Chuggaa's case). No matter how much they like doing it, some people just won't be able to keep doing it without the revenue. Might as well just play the games with no videos if it's just for fun.

See what all the international fuss is about in the latest trailer for the game's western debut.
5/16/13 1:26pm
RiaraTan: Let's see... Mario clothes? WoW art everywhere? AND A rip off of the most popular Saint Seiya theme song rendition? Good job ios games with somehow staying out of court.
5/16/13 1:00am
Kaepora22: OMG! They totally ripped off one of my favorite themes ( I miss Saint Seiya). Is this intentional or was this a literal rip off? I'm not sure what this thing is so I can't rant about it yet. I am a bit mad they used the Pegasus Fantasy song because it really doesn't seem to fit with the look of this meh game.
5/15/13 9:17pm
Teebone: Umm I see a lot of WoW art in there... potential lawsuit much?
5/15/13 7:30pm
danielpal: lol they ripped off pegasus fantasy theme motherfuckers XD
5/15/13 7:28pm
Whatthefnu: I will give credit to the trailer's creator. Someone tried their damndest to make this game look awesome, and they should be acknowledged for the effort.

It looks like the most rebellious member of the team is a bit of a grappler.
5/15/13 7:34pm
dbzfanboy-press...: Yeah, you might be right. But if you look in some of the shots you can see other guys standing around. Maybe it's like a special takedown. Also, I was hoping this game would be heavily co-op like the arcade versions and not trying to be like other beat-'em-up games. I hate when companies do that. (with few exceptions such as MK borrowing some mechanics from Street Fighter)
I'd like to learn more about this game to see if it's worth my time. I hope it doesn't abuse slow motion. It only works in certain instances and it just gets old. Seriously, Matrix came out like ten years ago lol.
5/15/13 3:53pm
Janos: I still don't have high hopes for this game.
5/15/13 3:06pm
Korahn: It might be like in the Batman Arkham titles where the final hit on the final enemy in the area would often be shown slow-mo.
5/15/13 2:44pm
dbzfanboy-press...: I hope it isn't slow motion like that the entire game... -_-
5/15/13 1:07pm
RubyKing: Well my have hopes are high now

A Zero 2 Hero: He wouldn't happen to be called Mayne would he, because that head of hair is just luscious.
5/15/13 6:23am
umar2131: THANK GOD!! Can't wait for this game, I need me some Phoenix

smoke108: I believe it's Payne's brother.
5/14/13 7:27pm
A Zero 2 Hero: HOLY SHIT! PAYNE HAS HAIR!

On another note, does anyone else feel kind of bummed out that the court walls have been colored dark grey now since Apollo Justice? I know it's more realistic, but the pixelated yellowness of previous AA games just had that sort of..atmosphere to it. I can't really explain it, but it made me take cases more seriously.

Join these colorful warriors as they search for the elusive Demon Blade...
5/15/13 5:04am
OmegaSoldierX: I've heard about Muramasa: The Demon Blade for the Wii before. So, is this a sequel to the first game, or a complete overhaul of the orignial?
5/14/13 6:54pm
Zetra3: but you can't just make an assumption like that, im not trying to be an ass about it. But it never that simple. It's no Mario Galaxy 2 for sure but it takes alot more then you think a Sprite game should.. hell it blew my mind back in the day when i did my research a few years back about Blazblue
5/14/13 6:38pm
Blue Madness: Well, excuse me if I'm not some wicked-cultured know-it-all. No, I don't know a thing about game design, not hardware-wise at least. Or about hardware overall. What I say is what I see, and Muramasa just doesn't look that demanding.
5/14/13 5:41pm
Zetra3: You've never researched Game Design, have you?
just cause a game is Sprite based, does not mean it takes less processing power.
Remember that game has to run it's Resolution at 480p constant, MAINTAIN at least a 30-60fps. process enemies, effects, characters, animations, backgrounds, sound. All which takes CPU, GPU AND RAM. For example. Just running this game EVEN AS A SPRITE GAME, you would have to sacrafice the entire background, or all the special affects to run at 3DS ram level if not more. you know what happens when you run out of ram? Your game slowly dies going from 60FPS down to 0 in a slow death.. that's what happened to ps3 users on Skyrim. The animation Quality, the special affects, even the character sprites are so details or in 3D.. it takes ALOT for the system to use.
Even if the game does not use ALL the CPU and GPU, it does require 512 of ram, it was BUILT with 512 ram in mind.
5/14/13 4:46pm
Blue Madness: I fail to see how Muramasa uses ALL of the Wii's power.

The next installment in the XCOM franchise may require more strategy than other shooters...
5/13/13 5:57pm
Tom the Iron Man: This looks 100% better than what we saw when it was first announce.
5/13/13 2:52pm
Double-T: You do have a valid point, and I'm all for trying new styles. But changing to a completely new style from a series that is already establish as something else can and usually is a major risk. And more often then not, that risk fails. Good example: Halo Wars. You want to change from turned based strat to a 3rd person game, I'm all for it. But as I said, it needs to have something major to get my attention, and justify the change.

Heck as a stand alone game it does look interesting, but not enough to have the name "X-Com" attached to it.
5/13/13 2:45pm
vinicius fatality: I agree.Even if it have the Xcom name,it is not a Xcom game.Think more has a origins of the hole thing.Xcomis the base.For this fell like ahs a origins story of the Organization,so much that is called the Bureau, Xcom desclassified.And is nice you try something diferent,i mean game companies does that all the time.What do you think wuold happend if capcom only made figther, and nothing more?
5/13/13 1:57pm
Arthur: Ya ya.. old/bad meme. I get it. funny funny (Really at the time it was funny watching Spoony go crazy over this) But really this is not a betrayal but and expansion of the X-Com universe. Is it really a bad thing for a franchise to branch out and explore new genres? We see it all the time and get some great games from it. So don't write it off since it is not an RTS. Let's wait until the game comes out before passing final judgement.

The footage from E3 made it look like it would have had the same kind of vibe as BioShock and that was a good thing. It seamed pretty atmospheric with tons of "holy shit what was that" moments.

I think moving it to 3rd person was a bad idea because all of the immersion is gone now. it's one thing to watch a portal open up and eat people in 3rd person but seeing it in first person right up in your face is another. Hopefully you can switch back and forth but I doubt it at this point.
5/13/13 12:22pm
Double-T: Unless they show me something that completely bows my away, this game will always stand as: BETRAYAL!"
