#316146 SuperMarioMaker-inspired episode of CakeWars tonight at 8pm ET/ on Food Network

Posted by Portal on 20 July 2015 - 09:27 AM

Man! I'm going to miss this. I'm more of CutThroat Kitchen and Chopped guy, but I'd watch this for Super Mario Maker. Sounds quite interesting.


#315890 New Interview from Gunpei Yokoi

I find it interesting how a lot of what he says is even more meaningful now. What with greater graphics and a seeming lack of originality or even much potential for it. It's a shame his life was cut short. He really seemed ahead of his time. I'd imagine if he were still around he'd be a rather unique indie. Even dabbling in other areas.


#315883 Bryan Konietzko Reveals Threadworld

Threadworlds is a new graphic novel coming from Bryan Konietzko. You know, the guy who gave us the awesomeness that is Avatar: The Last Airbender and The Legend of Korra. Oh, and there's FIVE PLANETS IN A SINGLE ORBIT. God only knows what that means for the story, but it sounds REALLY cool!


#315801 Rumour - NX will NOT be competing in power with PS4

Posted by Portal on 04 July 2015 - 02:31 PM

That's not good. WiiU wasn't too bad. Look at Bayonetta 2 or Zelda U. But NX needs to be ATLEAST as powerful as PS4, preferably more.


#315772 Comics Thread: Ultimate Detective Guardians of the Multiversity, Now with ACTION

Posted by Portal on 03 July 2015 - 04:43 PM

I am bumping this thread. What with Marvel's new Star Wars series, both DC and Marvel reboots, and some user interest, this doesn't seem like a bad idea.

To kick off some discussion, I followed the Star Wars: The Clone Wars: Son of Dathomir(SoD) from Dark Horse last year. I am currently reading Marvel's Star Wars: Kanan: The Last Padawan. I plan on getting Star Wars: Lando #1 and Star Wars #7 this month and the Volume 1 TPBs for the other Marvel Star Wars series as they release. If that means anything.

Any thoughts on the DC and Marvel reboots? I'm interested in Marvel's new Avengers, Spectacular Spider-Man, and Ms. Marvel series. Of course, I'll probably just follow Avengers because of the multiple characters and my lack of money. I do however, plan on buying the Ms. Marvel Volume 1 TPB soon, given I've heard such good things.

So after my mega-post, someone needs to reply to this thread so I don't look stupid? ;D


#315617 Your Top 5 or 10 DS Games

Posted by Portal on 30 June 2015 - 02:09 PM

Then why am I having so much fun playing this game?

I didn't mean for my post to sound like M&L:PiT is less of a game because it's digital. More like in regards to this thread, digital has minimal bearing on the topic. If that makes sense. IMO DS games should be played on either original hardware or 3DS. Authenticity and all that.

#315278 Post Your Wii U Library and Collection

Posted by Portal on 24 June 2015 - 06:55 AM

I just got my Wii U two weeks ago so my list of games isn't too big just yet. Here's what I've got so far:

Physical:
Captain Toad Treasure Tracker
Mario Kart 8

Digital:
Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze
Nintendo Land
Super Mario 3D World

Very nice. You should probably check out Pikmin 3, The Wonderful 101, The Wind Waker HD, Hyrule Warriors, and Rayman Legends. I hear Splatoon is awesome as well.

#311255 Nintendo Direct - April 1st - NO JOKE 6pm EST / Treehouse Live Afterwards

Posted by Portal on 01 April 2015 - 05:34 AM

Maybe now is the correct time to announce this officially... the arcade cabs have been out in Japan for a couple months or so now.

I can see it being a summer release after E3 before the big releases. Starting the ND or E3 with WiiU Pokemon would be a good idea.


#311227 Nintendo Direct - April 1st - NO JOKE 6pm EST / Treehouse Live Afterwards

Posted by Portal on 31 March 2015 - 02:56 PM

Would be nice FE SMT although they do have some 3DS stuff that would make sense too...

Could SMTxFE be one of the big holiday 2015 games to replace Zelda U? That'd be pretty interesting to get it with Star Fox U and the rumored Paper Mario.


#311109 Nintendo gone Mobile/Nintendo NX system

Posted by Portal on 28 March 2015 - 05:56 PM


Virtual Reality is about replacing your reality with a virtual reality. That's what the Nintendo Virtual Boy was about. It was a portable 3D device that you out on your head and all you can see is what is in the screen. You can call it whatever you want, but it is doing basically the something.

And there are so many companies, huge companies, working on VR. FaceBook, Sony, HTC, Google. Microsoft is going with AR, which is similar but different.

I really believe FaceBook has great non game ideas. It could transform how online schools work. Virtual meetings for huge world wide companies would be completely changed too. Imagine instead of showing pictures of your vacation, you share the VR recording of your vacation.

VR is going to be the next big thing.

#311029 Iwata Asks: Xenoblade 3D !

Posted by Portal on 26 March 2015 - 05:59 PM

Huh. I never really thought about maxing out the play time. Pretty neat to see a game so huge the play time counter needs to be upped. I'm glad I plan on getting this in the summer. Otherwise I wouldn't be able to focus on anything else!


#311023 Hyrule Warriors Character Unlock

Posted by Portal on 26 March 2015 - 04:38 PM

Umm what does this have to do with trolling?  You want details?  Just Google for them, they are in almost every review.  I'm not sure how long all of you have been playing the Dynasty Warriors series, but I played every installment religiously since the fall of 2000 on PS2 (including the Japan-only exclusives), and yeah, it has gotten a little stale, considering they have changed less than 5% of the gameplay in a decade and a half.  

The Zelda universe allows for an amazing open-space hack and slash game, and KOEI totally blew it.  I'm not even talking about the injustice they did the Zelda IP in the presentation department, because gameplay comes first, and the gameplay just doesn't hold up.

Erm, L-targeting, weak points, traditional Zelda items? I'll admit the only other Warriors game I've played is Chronicles on 3DS, but the gameplay is different. And there's also Adventure Mode, the Challenge Mode, and well-priced DLC that works pretty well too.

Oh, and we don't do "use google to figure my opinions out" around here. 'Cus like, we like to have good discussions and help each other out and such. Remember that before 3dude totally gets on you.


#311012 Hyrule Warriors Character Unlock

Posted by Portal on 26 March 2015 - 02:44 PM

This game could have been so much more.  What a waste.

Care to explain how? Only thing I wanted was the game to be about one of the wars in Hyrule's past. The story is still pretty decent though, and the gameplay was smart with a whole lot of content.
