YOSHI

me and yoshi here, we've been through a lot together

we've dealt with babies

you could say we've spun yarns

But enough of that E3 is happening, EA was garbage, Nintendo, Ubi, Microsoft, and Sony all had good conferences

WELCOME TO THE MADNESS

    yarn yoshi is a digital monster, a digimon if you will, who is animated by a group of video game developers in japan, and as such does not necessarily abide by the physical earth's conceptions of physics or biology.

    I understand the arguments against it

    but I will stand by orange sports suit Samus as what she wears out of combat in climate controlled ship interiors

    one thing i will say about yoshi

    i do not like the proportions he's had ever since yoshi's story

    i like how he looks in mario world/yoshi's island way better, where he's got more of a "mount" look to him

    I was hoping this would be a Zero Suit Samus OP

    orange sports suits samus is fine as in yeah she wears that in her free time but it's still presented as "hey boys you got a good time in zero mission here's a hot chick"

    i'm not totally happy with it but it's better

    and more importantly she has some semblance of athleticism to her in that design

    you are probably the only person here who likes Zero Suit Samus

  • WybornWyborn GET EQUIPPED Registered User regular
    We need to get away from using Samus's body as a reward for players!

    Like, sure, reward us by showing us what she's like when she's off work

    But don't frame it as a way to show us what she's like in booty shorts because we're good at the game

    Long story short, Metroid Prime is the best handling of the character of Samus in every way, okay have a nice evening everybody

    yeah, it's kind of strange how that design has become the standard

    the yoshis in story were explicitly babies

    what hits me the most about the splatoon designs is how they don't really look... nintendoy

    it's interesting to see them put something out that doesn't fit with their general aesthetic

    jeff made a joke about it looking like a TV bumper for nickelodeon and it definitely does have a kind of western animation look to it

    I've seen this directed more often in reference to a UV post than I have directed to anybody else

    yoshi is the best, by the way

  • InquisitorInquisitor Registered User regular
    Do we have any kind of release date for Splatoon because I need to make sure I have a WiiU when that hits.

    Though 99% likelihood of buying one the second I get back stateside at this point.

    Which is an argument for all the casualwear Samus has worn for speed achievements

    It's not really a level above all those other than showcasing some muscle

    especially since as far as i know yoshi's story didn't sell super well

    It all looks like a better de Blob, only as a shooter, and a great shooter at that. I really hope Splatoon succeeds.

  • TheySlashThemTheySlashThem Registered User regular
    de blob was an underrated gem

    wish I still had the soundtrack handy

    Nintendo saw the skeevist dude on the planet, find wild success from lovingly modelling bayonetta's butt and bust, and decided to follow.

    I like Varia Suit Samus

    The "normal suit" (what she has in Prime before she gets the Varia suit) looks really bad

  • DodgeBlanDodgeBlan PSN: dodgeblanRegistered User regular
    I'm pretty sure Splatoon is the tie in video game from a cancelled 90s nickelodeon cartoon upressed to HD

    Since the last thread got locked right as I asked...

    I have both The Witcher 1 and 2 on steam. Are both worth playing or should I just skip right to The Witcher 2?

    You can skip 1 if you want and go straight to 2, 1 is a little rough in some spots still
