    If I recall correctly Miyamoto was also against having a Hard mode in SS, and tried to shut down Link Between Worlds

    dunno about hard mode, but LBW was sent back to the drawing board by him before we got what we got. so I'd say he made the right call in that instance given how good LBW is.

    just give me a fucking smash bros fire emblem edition already

    And there are missions that will straight up checkpoint you at a point where you absolutely have to climb (or at least you do to get 100% sync) but if you happen to be the Lady then oops you have no way of continuing or reaching a closet (because hey super drastic mission zones are a great idea in an open-world game).

    and you can't reload a checkpoint because it's right there

    annnnd there is no way to make money, ever, at any point in this game. Everything is ridiculously expensive and nothing gives you enough money to make up for it. Just bribing a guard (the ONLY way to lower Assassin notoriety) costs as much money as a story mission or a chest gives you.

    At least the HD version cuts out the Vita feature bullshit minigames, which were straight up busted and did not work at all.

    Actually he was the one who first suggested basing it off Link to the Past.

    speaking of link between worlds, I beat it the other night. That is a fantastic game. I particularly enjoyed the ending:
    I saw the "Hilda is a villain" twist coming for awhile, but I was completely blindsided by Ravio being the Hero of Lorule

    I found all the maiamais, but I'm still missing two heart containers and the last master ore. I'm not usually into getting 100% on a game, but LBW is so fun that I might just do it this time

    I somehow missed the cave to even start the maimais. Never collected a single one.

    LBW was such a blast

    I'm still stalled on some of my 3DS games though

    I found out that I'd actually way rather play super long RPGs on my console, so Fire Emblem is languishing

    I don't remember the last time I got mad at videogames, but holy shit, did I just get mad at videogames.

    Figured I'd buy something cheap off PSN to play on the Vita while I'm waiting on beating Persona 3. Decided to get Gladiator Begins.

    if it's like the other game by those people,

    it's basically the mass effect (dragon age?) porno parody with worse dialogue and the actual sex pretty much excised

    since the other one had almost literal space hitler as a party member (moustache and all), I can only assume this game has elf hitler as a romance option

    But the problem is that no aspect of Aveline's characterization is at all explored or expanded upon. There's some lore stuff that fills in the gaps but it just jumps ahead to NOW SHE'S AN ASSASSIN OKAY FREE SOME SLAVES.

    people said this about ratonhnhake:ton too and I don't know what game you are playing!

    I now understand why Double Fine was concerned about people spoiling Broken Age.

    The end of Act 1 is really clever.

    I don't typically care about spoilers; but if I wasn't a backer and had it spoiled for me, I would be pretty upset!

    I dunno, maybe they fixed up the narrative for the HD version for all I know. The one I played really reeked of "we slapped these cinematics together because we need people to talk for a minute before you kill a guy".

    Not gonna give too much credence to that Smash Bros leak list, but Mewtwo returning with an overhaul I would be ok with. It seems unlikely that they wouldn't include any X & Y Pokemon as fighters, though.

    the pacing of the cutscenes is frequently kind of "off" but aveline as a character is pretty well developed + interesting

    For some reason I'm picturing Mewtwo as being Mega Mewtwo and switching between X and Y formes like Zelda

    Not super likely and I don't know how he would start the match, I guess as mewtwo and then he megaevolves during the match start intro

    I played through Shay's part first until he passed out outside the ship then switched back. When she found the guy in cryo and he was talking about how the crash was his fault I thought he was Shay.

    I would be quite into an aveline full game but liberation's core character arc of aveline's relationship with her mom and her stepmom is pretty well done in my subjective opinion

    At the very least I would go for Mega Mewtwo X for a Final Smash.

    It's funny. I'm the complete opposite. I love playing RPG's for about 30 minutes at a time, so the handheld is perfect for me... Although I did play three hours straight of SMT IV today. Maybe that would've been nice on a big screen. Hmmm. Ignore me.

    Late to the party but, the day Miyamoto retires will be a pretty sad. (Although from little anecdotes he's got a pretty full life outside of the office so good on him whenever he decides to quit.) He is pretty damn good at making really fun products. And his advisory roles in game development can have pretty big impacts, usually in a positive way. I imagine the one really negative thing about Miyamoto is I imagine he's not the funnest guy to work for in the world, in the sense that I think he'd probably work your ass off.

    Also anyone who says bad things about Majora's Mask... well there's only one way to settle disputes like that.
