God dammit, I guess with full VO it'd be more of a pain to bring over, but surely the Japanese audience would be more enticed to these characters with a good cast of VAs.

We got a date and the menu screens showing features that we knew about. Plus I guess the first look at any Black Hole character. But the CO animations are looking even sicker so that's something. EDIT: Actually I forgot about voice acting, which I'm pretty psyched about.

Ok folks, place your bets: will there be visual adjustments in response to the vocal group of complaints, or will the visual style still be pretty much the same and be complained about again? I'm leaning toward believing the delay was caused by adjustments to visuals in response to the online...

I know I'm like a whole month late on this, but Nintendo's presence at the Game Awards was literally just "Past, Present, Future" for games on the console and while I wasn't super upset by the game's lack of promotion leading into it's original release date, I was very annoyed that the "Games...

I think the delay is an obvious reason for the lack of marketing, it simply wasn't coming together. With such a long delay I have to wonder if there's substantial visual changes involved since they were critiqued pretty heavily (I personally liked them pretty well with only a couple small...

The box art is incredible, in my head I knew it was different to the original but could really only point specifically to Andy's rounded cheeks and the dirt road being very 'videogame dirt path' as the only changes. It's incredible how well they've captured the style both as it was and as I...

Realistically I can see that there's not much to show for AW1+2, we know what it looks like and it's hard to say whether we should expect anything more than a remake of the originals in the new graphic style, but I agree that there's value in reminding people in the big showcase. Disappointed to...

I mean, sure, there's some level of hypocrisy to it, I'm sure a lot of people clamouring online don't end up buying, but I think it's more important to remember that hardcore vocal Nintendo fans are a tiny, and I mean miniscule, part of the customer base, and that's without reducing it further...

Or having to deal with the moral quandaries of pumping out cheap infantry to use as human meat shields.

Inappropriate, not offensive. The new game doesn't look inappropriate, but a more faithful version of the originals may have been, to have COs be treating war so trivially while animating it more realistically would have been an issue. I was saying that instead, as you point out, the new games...

This is actually something I've brought up elsewhere. The game needed an art style change because they can't use an updated version of the older art style and still be child friendly. Also war is seen pretty differently now than it was in 2001-2003... You can't pull off childish naivety and OCs...

"This looks like mobile game BS." - By far the most common, despite there being no single 'mobile game' monolith using 1 art style and a general inability to name any mobile games. At worst they mean it looks like a Supercell game which isn't even a bad thing, their art style is great...

Unfortunately I have seen far too much toxicity in discussions of the remake to see it this way...

My vote is that sn earlier line pointing out something on the map is delivered by a soldier, eg "Sir, Kanbei's captured a forward base near our HQ", the soldier is the one who asks "what's an airport" and Andy is berated for having someone who doesn't know about airports relaying strategic...

Unfortunately based on Sakurai quotes from way back, after Ultimate I believe that Smash is going to be pared back. Ultimate may keep getting ported and a couple updates here and there because of the cultural monolith it is, but I think new Smash games are going to be reset and spend their time...
