Happy Birthday!

Why is Pikachu not on the picture, by the way?

1698 - The Abenaki tribe and the Massachusetts colonists sign a treaty ending the conflict in New England.

Wii U:

Currently trying to beat the final level of Super Mario 3D world though I will probably not bother to complete all the levels with every single character after that.

 

3DS:

Just finished Ace Attorney: Dual Destinies (my first and only one in the series). I will probably buy the DLC episode soon enough because I really liked the game (although it's more like a film).

 

Planning to play A Link to the Past since I never actually did. I also have to finish LEGO City: Undercover.

 

 

Don't do it. Trust me, worst game I ever played on the 3DS.

Kamiya and Platinum Games, besides being relatively young in the industry, really know what they do (look at their curriculum), and they arent conventional at all. This game is pretty ambicious (damn, they even game Kamiya his own Nintendo Direct, which never happened ever!), and for action game fans, its full of fun! Maybe if you dont like/suck at- action games, its obviously not for you. And thats acceptable: i dont like FPS's, i suck at them, that's why i avoid them.

Yeah, maybe that's the issue with me, I just don't like games that oriented towards action, maybe that's why I called it shallow the first time because, when I think about what 3Dude said, it can be really deep if you're aiming to become the highest score possible and not just mashing buttons to finish it quickly. Like someone said before (I think it was in the direct thread for the W101) it is either love it or hate it. I'll maybe give this game a try just to go on the other side to see if they have cookies.

This thread keeps getting funnier and funnier. 

1. Not even close. You just suck at the game. Try using the right analog stick for drawing. Past that, youll actually have to try learning something new. You can always tell whos been raised on 'press a for awesome' style games.

The analog stick is a better alternative indeed but it is still bad in my opinion. I just don't like these kind of games and I don't see how this should be wrong in any way.

Looks like there is something special in Platinum games only their fans could understand and, guess what - they're not that many. It's not the company having a curse, it is it just sucking pretty hard.

Just kidding, don't overreact again. But they shouldn't have published such an elaborate game to the mass public because they aren't nearly as many Platinum Games fans owning a Wii U as the company needs to sell the game successfully. It may be a great game but judging by the comments it's complexity is putting people off. We don't live in the '90s anymore when you had to use your brain to beat a game, nowadays people are too lazy to play a game like the W101 the way it is meant to be played.

I just tried all the missions in the demo and now this game reminds me of Tank! Tank! Tank! not just because of its art style, but also because of the gameplay which is kind of shallow.

 

This game also reminds me of these garbage shows the CartoonNetwork is currently known for. The animation seems too cheesy and even ugly sometimes and the dialogues themselves are so cliché that it's not even funny.

 

However, the biggest problem I encountered was the use of the GamePad - drawing a shape or trying to do it could be a huge pain and it becomes even more frustrating when you try to surround a certain object or to save citizens.

 

It's a shame that I can get the game for 30% off when it obviously isn't that good. I wish I could have that discount for Rayman Legends instead. 

It's never a good idea to have such high expectations even after playing the demo. Just to avoid feeling disappointed if anything goes wrong.

Does anyone else think that this Zelda kind of looks like pre-SkywardSword in the timeline? It's kind of ancient.

I'm most excited about Captain Toad, Mario Maker and of course Zelda.

I knew that would become a game, loved the puzzles during SM3DW

 

I even mentioned that on MiiVerse so it's really feels like Nintendo are listening to us. Wish granted.

Forgot about Mario Maker, that game looks horsing awesome too. Again, I just wish one of the new announcements could have been for release this year.

Captain Toad is scheduled for 2014.

The only thing I didn't like about the presentation was the number 2015.

I just want something I'd feel like replaying. The only game in the series that matches this description is OoT.

1: This game is $50, the same as it originally launched at and $10 less than the average Wii U game.

Not in Europe. Here the game is 60 euros and that's 10 more than Pikmin 3 and 15 more than Rayman Legends. The only other game that is priced this high is NSMB U (eShop prices).

How is this even possible? How is every person posting on miiverse somehow in on a conspiracy to make fake better looking screens of pikmin 3?

That doesnt even make sense.

Those areas just look that good. Thats why people take pictures of them.

It's just that edges and shadows look much better in those pictures than they really do when seen from your in-game perspective as a player. And not all pictures on MiiVerse are nearly as good as the ones posted above.

Visually, I think.. the plants look nice and "next gen". But the textures on the ground are meh.

That's what I also said in another thread, though spending several hours on the game this doesn't seem to be much of an issue.

 

Other than that, the game is just stunningly beautiful and that's all that matters. It does look better in some areas than recently released games for the XBOX 360 such as Tomb Raider and BioShock Infinite but not necessary.

Stop it. It's pretty obvious the game doesn't look as good as in those snapshots, it's a trick to promote it at MiiVerse and at places like this one. That doesn't mean it's not pretty though.

There was an interview in which Miyamoto said that Pikmin 3 would use only a quantum of Wii U's real capabilities. So better games are to be expected, I guess?

Lara Croft. Like a lot.

It looks good but it reminds me so much of XBOX 360's menu and it somehow doesn't contain that specific Nintendo feel.

It's all about competition, it would be a stupid move if he admitted that the Wii U launch line-up sucked. Plus, saying bad things about other competitors on the market is a strategy to draw attention. It's like a free advertisement.

2013 was in my opinion the best year in gaming for the last 10 years or so.

I'm ashamed to admit it, but I can hardly understand what they talk about in this video. What accent is that supposed to be?
