    I'm really, really tired of these "games journalists" who are trying their damnedest to pretend they are interested in or even understand what's going on. Especially when it's women who are pretty clearly only in front of the camera because titties. I'm pretty sure this is why G4 is dead.


    Late to comment on this but audrey drake SUCKS in this gameplay. She is probably the worst embodiment of what you say, the other female journalists are completely fine from what i can tell. There's definitely some shitty males in there too who pretend to care but really couldn't give a shit about nintendo. Most work for gametrailers.

    OH GOD. Shows me for not reading everything. At least I wasn't sexist.

    Now, how about that MARIO KART? Amirite?

    You have especially been missing out on the Mario Karts that don't have Blue Shells.

    Speaking of which, that Mario Kart Developer Interview video thing mentioned how it's possible to set up tournaments with certain rules. I wonder if "No Items" or, more importantly, "No Blue Shells" will be among the available rules.

  • Warlock82Warlock82 Never pet a burning dog Registered User regular
    What about "Only Blue Shells"? :twisted:

    I hope they don't wuss out on Battle Mode. Like, they seem to have some weird rule that Battle Mode can only have X number of courses, where X is a super low number like 4 or 6. Seriously, just stick all the courses from previous Mario Karts in there. Like, the MK64 Battle Mode courses alone are all fantastic and should be in every Mario Kart (also I seriously miss Double Decker - they never bring that one back)

    I don't think blue shells are that bad with the modern blue shell-splosion they have. Tends to take out people near you if they're close, so it's not as totally bullshitty. But it's Mario Kart and I don't take that super seriously, get my srsface racing fix in other places. :p

    mario kart seriously looks too good to be true. It's like CGI i swear.
    It looks better than most of the things 360 and ps3 could spit out. So I don't see why people complain. People are dumb.

    Nintendo does good work with not very much in terms of hardware power. Galaxy looked incredible on the Wii, and there are plenty of 3DS games that I don't think should be actually running on a system that relatively weak. Strong art direction letting them get away with simplifying in certain areas helps a lot I think.

    I bring this up because I think Yoshiaki Koizumi is someone Nintendo really needs to bring to the forefront. I remembered hearing his name and looking over his wikipedia page I remembered right; he created the story for Link's Awakening, Majora's Mask (including the 3 day time cycle), and Super Mario Galaxy's storybook and now he's the one who pushed for playable Peach. I really hope he gets to do more stuff with Zelda too.

    The main thing is, the shell needs to not fly, it needs to hit everyone in front of the shooter as it used to. That way it isn't a situation where the last place person helps the third place person take first for no good reason.

    Damn, yeah, I had no idea the same person was behind all those things. He really needs to be put in charge of lots of things.

    Have they shown any asymmetrical stuff with Mario Kart + the gamepad?

    Because let me tell you, I have this one uncle that would love to sit there and drop obstacles on the track while the rest of us race.

    Not yet, but considering they've got almost a year left in development I wouldn't be surprised if that popped up.

    I think most would agree the best stuff currently available would be New Super Mario Bros. U, ZombiU, Lego City Undercover, and Monster Hunter 3 Ultimate.

    Game and Wario is coming out soon, and Wonderful 101 and Pikmin 3 aren't too far off either.

    basically Pikmin 3 and Wonderful 101 are probably going to be killer apps at this point.

    I haven't had the time. I am at like World 5 or something I think. I really should just finish it up.

    Honestly, I'm also lazy and hate switching the discs out too :P (right now Pandora's Tower is hogging the slot) Wish I had bought some of these games digitally :D

    I am seriously considering buying most games digitally from now on. I've been doing it with certain 3DS titles that I feel like I'd want to play little bits at a time and it's great. Like, I can play one mission in Fire Emblem or one level in Donkey Kong and not have to switch out the cart. That's awesome.

    I would do this, except for the fact that it can take forever to download anything more than a few gigs. Though I usually leave it overnight and it's done by the time I wake up.

    Takes longer to ship/go to the store considering the digital stuff comes out at midnight :)
