"Zenoheart?" Did he actually mean Xenohort or whatever, the villain guy, and the reporters just misinterpreted the spelling? LOL he tried to send the reporters off to get their butts kicked by the villains, didn't he?

But I don't blame ya. Xehanort is a hard name to spell. Doesn't help that his name without the X is practically a haven of anagrams.

-No Earth

The most important clue to his identity.

So, I'll have $40 to spend on games next month.

Planet Robobot, or Rhythm Heaven Megamix?

Here's a few questions you want to ask yourself.

Do you want to play another easy, relaxing platformer? If so, go for Robobot.

Do you like playing rhythm games and things really charming? Go for Megamix.

Please pick the latter, I'm huge nut for RH because of its simplistic fun.

 

[Radical Bones]

Man I wish Mario Party was an online game with older style gameplay and mini games.

Nintendo, make a 'best of' game and let me play friends online.

Srsly.

 

[KingofPhantoms]

From what I see, the artstyle of the new Ben 10 looks like it'll be made in Flash.

If that's the case then things are just going south.

I would agree mainly because I think that Ben 10 just isn't the kind of show that should be done in Flash animation.

There are a few good shows animated in Flash out there. IIRC, the modern Mickey Mouse shorts on Disney Channel are done in Flash, and I personally think they're pretty good (and they do the Mouse some well needed justice after being nothing but a character in an educational show that doesn't teach much to anyone who is out of preschool for several years. Not that there's anything wrong with Mickey having an educational show, but it's nice to see him back in his roots again.)

Here's my problem: I enjoy both.

My Wii U is basically a RH and Retro Kirby machine right now.

I'd be down for something similar to what Neatherrealm Studio's did with MK1-UMK3 by releasing an HD Collection that had online capabilities as well.

In this case it would be Mario Party 1-3 released with the ability to play these games online. There can be two different online modes; one for playing a normal game and the other for just playing mini-games. It's unlikely to happen but i'd still love for it to happen.

Here's my problem: I enjoy both.

My Wii U is basically a RH and Retro Kirby machine right now.

I feel ya. My Wii U is a retro machine filled with LoZ, AW, and GS along with other things.

Also if you have enough money you should try out Advance Wars. It has a similar interface to Fire Emblem though the gameplay is much different and requires using multiple different kinds of units and properties as opposed to FE's sword-axe-lance-magic gameplay.

When I was at the dentist earlier today, I saw something that would make Senator Armstrong proud.

[Champ Gold]

I desperately want to play Puyo Puyo/Mean Bean Machine/Kirby's Avalanche

 

[Z25]

Why does economics and sales got to kill everything good? First Toriko, now this.

Oh well, time to suck it up and read the Japanese webcomic pages to see Crash finally fight Sonic. Sucks that Crimson had to stop the manga adaption at Part 2 of all places.

That was such a sad episode.


And they destroyed Ben 10 now

Whoever came up with the idea for this reboot should be fired. Leave Ben 10 alone! It was one of my favorites.

 

[Aetheri]

Confession time...I've been playing a lot of the Cave of Shadows in TPHD since BotW...

Forgot how difficult some of the levels are but I managed to fully complete it finally...so far the best I've managed to complete it with is a measly 2 and a half hearts...those Ice levels really **** me up...although I'd say my least favourite room has to be the one with the four Armos with the doors behind them...it just goes by so slowly, especially when you're trying to conserve hearts...
But that Wolf Link and Midna statue at the end was really cool...even cooler when you find out you can jump onto the Wolf Link's head...with a neat little cherry on top...


did figure out some useful strategies though...

-Dinolfos and Lizalfos get ****ed up by Wolf Link's spin...then you can ambush them with the Dark Energy Attack as they get up...

-If you get behind an Armos statue and use the Dark Energy Attack, you can then follow up with two quick Dash attacks which finish them off quite easily...though it works best if you only have one coming after you at a time so it's rather slow...Zant heads actually get taken out the same way a Dark Energy Attack then two dash attacks take them out...

I'm actually surprised Cave of Shadows Speedruns aren't a thing actually...

----

Probably going to give WWHD a go soon...it's been a really long time since I've played Wind Waker...most Zelda games I compare to going out for a nice stroll...but Wind Waker I always think of it as putting my feet up...it's just a rather relaxing game in comparison to the other Zelda titles...

 

[Chrono.]

Why is Ben 10 getting rebooted? As if the countless sequels didn't ruin him enough.

Also are Man of Action even working on it?

 

[IceBreakerXY]

Better question is was ben 10 even good enough for a reboot.That show was always average even for CN standards

Cave of Shadows is dumb because Wolf Link's combat is terrible.

Granted I would be trying to do it with Hero Mode + Ganondorf's Curse. I did get to the last room once though. Only to get blindsided by a Zant head.

For the Dinolfos and Lizalfos though, a safer strategy is to run around and let them chase you. Then after about 10 seconds, you jump attack at them and that lets you latch onto them for free hits.

God knows.

I stop caring post-Ultimate Alien

It's not even old enough for a reboot.

The show was... It was okay, the first one anyway. The sequels went straight into sequellitis.

 

[Ura]

Speaking of Virtual Console games, this is more or less what you guys would expect I play right?

Photo of my Virtual Console collection on my Wii U...

 

[Icedragonadam]

I liked the first one. Unfortunately the sequels just decided to delve into, Okay what the heck is going on anymore?

That's not a safe strategy when there are multiple enemies since you're vulnerable while latching onto them...if you got a bunch running after you the spin takes them all out if they're close enough and a well timed DEA can clean up...Dinolfos can block the Dark Energy Attack though as well as the Dash Attack...Dinolfos are always a pain, where's the bomb arrows when you need them?...lol

I think the Cave of Shadows would've been A LOT better if it at least had a boss at the end of the dungeon...but I still enjoy it since it gives a nice challenge...I like these kinds of side dungeons...Cave of Ordeals, Savage Labyrinth, etc...

Johnny did a thing.

 

[A Distant Demon]

The sequels turned Gwen from a magician into an alien. Because reasons.

And I hate that. RIP Lucky Girl

 

[PsychoIncarnate]

They eventually reintroduced magic again in the 3 series

Pretending like the second series didn't write it out of canon

 

[KingofPhantoms]

Am I the only one who liked Ultimate Alien?

Granted, I didn't see every episode of it, but from what I did see, I didn't think it was terrible...

Omniverse was the worst offender for me. I had zero ****s to give about it.

I need a gif of Johnny doing the Zangeif dance right now.

 

[AwesomeAussie27]

For those who are curious of who the Sorudia (Sony) warriors are in the E3 Tournament Arc, here are Melissa Lissa and Balzac Oksook.

These two characters are based on Crash Bandicoot (male) and Parappa the Rapper (female) respectively. Two other Sony characters were seen, but I can only recognize one of them as Dart from Legend of the Dragoon.

 

[PushDustIn]

FYI: Inafune doesn't say "its better than nothing", it's the translators personal opinion, and even says it is in the stream.

I honestly thought it was better than Alien Force for the most part.

Alien force had a couple of interesting ideas, but Ultimate Alien brought back some classic characters and reintroduced magic

 

[Yomi's Biggest Fan]

For me, Alien Force was alright and Ulimate Alien is meh. But Omnivores can go to hell for all I care.

And of course Parappa would have to be a stereotypically cute character in World War Blue.

I take it the two are BFF's because of a certain Japanese PlayStation commercial featuring them?

Alien Force ruined canon. Ultimate Alien attempted to fix some of it's problems. It was pretty meh

But all the problems the later series had came from the new canon introduced in Alien Force

Why is the Parappa person a girl? Seriously, why?

Anyways, yes. They are mostly likely friends because of that commercial they had together.

Did the rhythm heaven artist get better with dynamic poses

cause this is really good

 

[Yomi's Biggest Fan]

Probably to have that perfect balance of male and female warriors for certain Cosume countries. There weren't that many female leads back in early video games except for a select few (Samus, Nei, Morrigan, etc).

So some characters had been gender swapped or anthropomorphized as females for the sake of fixing that gender balance. For example, Opa Opa is now a female archer called Opal and Queen Crystal represents all of Final Fantasy (though only few titles had female leads like Terra and such).

Ironically, most Sorudian soldiers are female leaving only the higher ups as male. Poor Balzac, surrounded by three girls (one of them being a rapper that rubs the salt in the wound in Engrish 90% of the time).

Also, Bomberman was made into a female just so Momotaro has a female partner for the Republic of Habreed (Hudson Soft).

I used to watch the first one, it was fun, the sequels, well, not so much, I don't know, I found it a bit more charming when they were kids.

One funny thing I found is that the person that voiced Naruto in Latin Spanish also voiced Ben, and it was a woman.

 

[KingofPhantoms]

I could do a re-watch of the first three Ben 10 shows. I actually don't remember much from either of them....

My favorite thing to come out of Alien Force were the Highbreed. Them, Vilgax and Ghostfreak were my favorite villains.

The majority of voice actors for children characters are woman

Whoops, my mistake. Let's not think too hard about "that" art.

Thought so. It's like Japan thought of these two as the PlayStation mascots back in the day. Too bad Parappa's been irrelevant for years while Crash is slowly recovering with the upcoming remasters. And that's not going into how Dredd Fox scammed one fan of his money years ago.

In the Latino dub? That's surprising, I usually hear young male voice actors in those (for little kid characters I mean).
