Disney Meteos....

Desert Squirrel

You can apply this same logic to Disney's to the new Meteos game. Sweet Jesus this game is fucking difficult, and I was pretty good at the last game.

Garlic Bread

It came out?

Desert Squirrel

It came in the mail from Amazon the other day.

AbsoluteZero

So...

Meaty O's?

Magus`

I was kind of dismayed to find out that it was Disnified. I liked the alien planet aspect of the first.

Also, apparently it still doesn't have the one thing the original Meteos lacked: WiFi. Double-u Tee Eff, mate.

I loved KH2....No "real" gamer had to do his damned Journal...you just had to be "Proud"

Oh and No WiFI means No Buy. Damned internets and their damned rumors getting my hopes up.

Desert Squirrel

The lack of Wi-Fi is a bitch, but that fact that it's only $20 helps lessen the sting.

So what's different in this one?

It's Disney.

Also, the game is played with the DS tilted to one side, making the playfield taller than it is wide. And you can slide blocks once they've landed, making it "easier," but the goals the game gives you are set with this in mind, so it's actually harder.

This is a very different game. I think I heard you can move pieces horizontally! And you hold the DS on it's side! Madness!

I don't like the fact that you can more pieces horizontally as well, it sounds like it'd be too easy. I feel like if I ever need a Meteos fix I can just pop in the first one.

You're not listening. The game is recalibrated to take advantage of this fact. In the IGN review, they said they've played for eight hours and STILL can't get good enough to unlock the final difficulty.

bruin

Well that shut me up.

It's funny because, AFAIK, there was never any official or remotely ambiguous reports that there was going to be online play in this version of the game. It was just a fervent wish made so earnestly by so many people that it just willed itself into being, and then when it wasn't in the final product everyone is disappointed.

Although if anything, news sources and game publishers/developers really need to clarify the distinction between wi-fi play (local) and Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection play (online). :x

Target Practice

You know, I can't really imagine Meteos would work well on Wifi anyhow.

Besides, aren't there a whole 42 people using DS Wifi these days?

In any case, I have no interest in this. I have Meteos already, and I suck at it.

Dracil

See, the thing is they KNOW how to make online Metos. Heck, they made Meteos Online (which I think you can't make an account if you're outside Japan)

CZroe

That comic was made shortly after Gabe started talking about John K's blog. He was clearly trying to get the organic lines of John K.

Desert Squirrel

Well after 3 1/2 hours of playing, I FINALLY beat hard mode. And my reward. NOTHING. No expert mode, no nude pics of Jiminy and Tinkerbell 69ing, no saying "Hey, you know what, thanks, we really appreciate you buying our game. You're a good guy." That's almost more frustrating than the final level (which literally dumps and entire screen of blocks on you at once and gives you about 3 seconds to clear it.) I haven't smoked in several months, but I'm going out to buy a cig.
