If it's coming to Steam I'll probably pick it up when it's cheap. I actually bought it a couple of weeks ago for Wii U despite not owning the system yet but I suppose I might try and sell it now; I was planning on buying a Wii U soon that's why I bought it but I might wait a bit longer still.

Instead of a touch screen you press B on 360 and it doesn't work that great. Been a while since I tried it but it was less of a game with no Gamepad.

B to do what? It's been a while since I played it on Vita so I can't really recall, I think there were some Murfy sections but I definitely didn't enjoy them as much a the regular platforming levels.

What made zombiu great was the cool use of the gamepad. It won't be the same without it.

Definitely wont be the same but I'm not sure that it would be worse, there's definitely ways to implement those features on the one screen.

They will just gimp it like they did Rayman Legends on other consoles. It's Ubisoft c'mon. French EA

Didn't they just not include the Murfy sections? Those seemed pretty lame anyway.

I still think his name should be Yook (producing Yook 'n Laylee). Yooka seems to me to be a bit more of a female name, and I actually thought Yooka was a girl.

It's much better as it is. If you change it to 'Yook' you ruin the ukulele pun.

Good luck on the Amiibo. All Amiibos are Nintendo first- or second-party characters with the sole exception of Pacman, which is a legacy that predates the NES.

Well there is Mega Man and Sonic too though there were licensed for SSB. I'm not sure whether they would be able to get Amiibos but they have made plenty of money from the Kickstarter to put some money into it if need be.

I'm not a fan of Amiibos though. I'd rather, if I really like the game, a figure/statue of the characters even if it is a bit more costly than an Amiibo.

Ha! Yes, it's very important to know that the lizard has a pegasus generator...

Edit: So, that male bodypart is actually censored here, even when using a non-offensive word. That's... interesting.

Genitals are offensive because children do not yet know they have them.

Nice. Looks promising. Just waitin' on that Kickstarter page to go up.

That bat nose is either too big or too red.... Or both.

Yeah it did seem a bit off at first but I think it's already growing on me. I really like the chameleon design, well I like chameleons/lizards in general so it's hard to go wrong there for me but it's a nice style nonetheless.

Holy cow, it got funded and then some so quickly... It's a shame so many other Kickstarter games get overlooked but this one still looks promising.

lol Grant's song is so Banjo Kazooie and David's is so Tropical Freeze.

I haven't heard the Tropical Freeze soundtrack but Grant's song does sound like it was taken right out of Banjo-Kazooie.

Sex and sexy characters in games is positive in general, unless it's out of context. Having your characters run around half naked while trying to fight aliens really destroys the mood and feeling of a game. So this is definitely an improvement.

Well these were optional costumes, I don't think they improved the characters stats and were purely aesthetic so having the option of wearing them if you so choose would be better than not having that option at all if you ask me. If devs want to keep a serious tone then they can choose not to put such costumes in the game at all or just make them unlockable, even better way of maintaining that tone would be to make the costumes unlockable after the first playthrough.

Unless your name is Jared Fogle it's revolting to see children in outfits like that. Western looks better.

Yes she is 13 even in the western version confirmed today despite earlier reports.

The outfits were overly sexual but I suppose that was the point of them. I do quite like the new ones except for those shorts... They seem out of place to me.

Anime (and Japanese anime styled games like this) character ages are often hard to tell from appearances. I'd say the character looks older than 13. What if they changed the age to 21 but kept the appearance the same? Would it still be an issue?

Best image I could find comparing anime character ages:

I'd have no problem if they left the costumes in the game, it's fiction and not full nudity on a body that doesn't look like a child's so not really an issue to me.

Now they've gone too far. You cannot edit boob size in the localised versions.

Seems like an even more unnecessary change than the revealing clothing you could choose to wear. 

If this is more suitable to be merged with the official Xenoblade thread then please do so, I was curious as to what people here thought not only regarding this but also on the lingerie costumes being removed from Fatal Frame for Wii U. I can't really think of other examples from other companies or which company in particular is responsible for making these decisions so I don't want to criticise Nintendo for what may not be their choice since it's probably more to do with the EU/NA rating system.

Anywho, just wondering your thoughts on this? Should we be able to use the same costumes as the original release? Is this a big deal or not an issue for you? Are you disgusted that a 13 year old character is wearing this?

Personally I think we should get the same costumes as the original release. Sure she's a young character but that's how they designed the game, I can't see people actually getting off to this stuff anyway... I've seen people saying that only pedophiles would want this in the game and similar things but I have seen a number of people against the decision also so at least there's somewhat of a discussion around the issue going on.

Let's also consider US state laws vastly vary for legal ages. Some 18 some 17 some 16. Nothing is 13.  To avoid any controversy they had to edit it esp for concerned US parents. Called localization for a reason,to make a certain game fit that market as much as they can without ruining the vision of the game. I don't want to see a sexualized child of any age fiction or not. I mean If I made game with a toddler in a bikini being sexualized be just as revolting. If Elma gets censored then yeah Treehouse and 8-4 need a swift kick in the teeth as for spoiler reasons I can't say there would be zero reason for it.

 

13 is the technical age of consent in Japan tho also technically it's 18.

I'm not sure that those laws would necessarily apply since she's not naked or in a sex scene even, it would definitely be more acceptable for this in Japan than the West but is it still the consent laws that apply to fiction such as this? I'm not so sure about that.

I do think the much easier solution would be to change the age of the character to something like 18 for Western audiences.

These are the ones he is so angry about. LOL nothing that even matters. The DVD stuff. Everyone uses VLC anyway.

Minesweeper and such can download free anyway.

How can anyone seriously complain about that? I suppose if you're a die hard Minesweeper fan...

It's not about how "minor" the removals are.

It's Microsoft. It's a small test that will allow for more very soon.

enjoy.

That's pure speculation. You have no idea what they plan to do. Them taking away Minesweeper and other unimportant features isn't a sign that they're going to take away other important features then charge us to use them.

I'm waiting on some performance comparisons before I upgrade. Might just wait until the official release date.

You'll see.

They are pretty much FORCED into trying new schemes.

Theire hardware business is a failure and their sofware is being eaten up by Google, Apple, and others, who make competing software for free, due to their business models roviding alternate revenue streams.

The removal of basic features that can be added back in...

No thanks.


Nobody likes that and people would in fact ratther PAY up front for the finished product.

Nothing is fee.

What basic features were removed?

I like it more than 8 definitely, they need to fix some bugs though...

Metroid.

Soul Calibur 6

Sonic Adventure 3

Virtua Fighter 6

House of the Dead 5

NFL 2k17

Power Stone 3

Skies of Arcadia 2

Sega Rally Championships

Super Mario Next

Madden

NBA

Waverace

Burnout Reboot

Metroid Prime 4

 

There the greatest launch since Dreamcast.

With that many Sega titles you'd think it was the Sega NX. If only, if only...

maybe for sega fanboys like you! 

People keep saying Zelda will end up on NX but I don't think it will. Although a Zelda at launch would be beneficial.

Maybe they'll do a Twilight Princess and release it on Wii U and NX.

 

Yep, Mourn knows however the owner of the site has not responded. 

 

Here are my suggestions:

 

• Wait
• Leave
• Ignore
• Enjoy
• Post Topics in status updates and post status updates as topic posts.
• 

 

Good to hear Mourn is at least at aware of it, hopefully it gets fixed soon.

I might try and pay more attention to status updates, they're not something that I tend look at on this site.

Also, I noticed it was your birthday recently so Happy Birthday! Hope you had a good one.

We did it so you could not see us. We do not have pants on

Well that's not fair since you can see my pantlessness just fine.

This has been happening for a little while now (maybe coming up to a week, I'm not sure). Post counts aren't updating when viewing new posts or even going to the different forum sections and looking at the lists of threads there.

A bunch of the threads that can be seen in the following image have multiple posts in them (so they must have views too) and yet they still say 0 views and 0 replies.
