^^^ Tomb Raider 1-3 are enough for me. I still want to check out Anniversary Collection though.


Also, Uncharted 1-3. Man I love Uncharted. That franchise is incredible, and if you haven't played it, YOU SUCK!!!

 

[3Bismyname]

dude Uncharted is awesome. im finishing up the 3rd one right now. im gonna be so dissapointed when its over though.

but the new Tomb Raider does look like its gonna be ok. but like any other game ill wait about a month for the reviews and what not to come out.

 

[SmashShadow]

I want Zelda...and to see if this Debu character actually turns out to be true.

 

[3Bismyname]

i'd rather see a new series announced. while Zelda would be nice, a new ip would be cooler imo. or hell a revamp would be cool as well.

 

[Johnknight1]

I want a new QUALITY series, too. The Wonderful 101 is a good start; now let's see more new IP's that can carry some weight.

Still, a new Zelda would be great, especially if it was a 3D Zelda game that put as much emphasis on exploration as 2D Zelda games. Seriously, Twilight Princess and Skyward Sword are ridiculously linear, their overworlds feel "empty," and there is literally noting but collecting to do after you beat the game. Nintendo needs to take a clue from Western RPGs, and create a much bigger overworld (that isn't empty space), and make loads and loads of epic side quests and awesome locations, side dungeons, and events (can we get some at least small-scale battles in Zelda?). I mean, how awesome would it be that while riding Epona, a freaking giant Bobolin or whatever shows up with his army of 20+ soldiers (on similar animals, whether horses, pigs, etc) to fight you. And, as a reward for beating him, you get perhaps some of his stuff.

but the new Tomb Raider does look like its gonna be ok. but like any other game ill wait about a month for the reviews and what not to come out.

I don't buy it. There's been too much gaming media paying off (no really, follow the money trail on how much they put into "converting" the gaming media on it) for it to be good IMO. Plus, that whole **** scandal is just dirty, and Lara is still more of a sexual possession than a character. Even her creator hates it. It's like she's gone backwards in character development since her inception.

still looks good. ive never been one of those types that says no to a game because of something distasteful. and its not like the entire game revolves around this theme. that would be dumb and i wouldn't expect anyone to buy it. its more about creating an emotional investment with the character, coming from a realistic/horrific place (which if you watch the scene is more about the fact that she was forced to kill a man, rather than the attempted ****). sure its a terrible thing, but as a writer i can see what they are getting at.

besides, its one scene. its not like its gonna play out 20 more times throughout the game

30 minutes left.

 

[Yomi's Biggest Fan]

My body is ready.

 

[yani]

Sakurai retweeted the Direct.... don't toy with us like that

 

[BKupa666]

*Jeopardy music plays*

Any update yet?

 

[Robert of Normandy]

Any update yet?

They mentioned Smash Bros. Apparently, we won't get any screens of the game until E3.

 

[Arcadenik]

Apparently we are getting Yoshi's Epic Yarn.

 

[N3ON]

Oh my... Shin Megami Tensei x Fire Emblem...

Can't wait for all the new FE discussions...

 

[Arcadenik]

OMG... The Wind Waker HD! Toon Link, Toon Zelda/Tetra, and Toon Ganon confirmed.

 

[ChronoBound]

Smash 4, 3D Mario, and Mario Kart 8 confirmed for E3 2013.

SMT X FE is really bizarre. Yoshi we all saw coming.

 

[Robert of Normandy]

What I want to know about Yoshi is if it will play like the old ones. I didn't see any egg throwing, so I'm wondering it it's going to be a new gameplay style.

 

[Arcadenik]

Well, I don't see any fat red Yoshi named Debu... I really don't think Sakurai would put in any Epic Yarn-like characters in Smash.

FIRE EMBLEM VS SHIN MEGAMI TENSEI?! OH **** THIS GANNA BE AWESOME!

 

[Big-Cat]

Thoughts:

1. Namco "employee" can now be fed to bears.
2. You want to touch me?
3. Yoshi looks cool as hell. I just hope this isn't insultingly easy like Epic Yarn supposedly is.
4. New Mario games? Who the **** didn't see that coming?
5. 101 looks cool as usual.
6. Looks like the next Zelda will be more nonlinear. I just hope the multiplayer will be an option.
7. OMG WIND WAKER WII U! TWIN SWORD GANONDORF CONFIRMED!
8. SMT X FE. Who seriously saw that one coming?
9. What the heck is this new Monolith game? Looks like a new Xenoblade or spiritual successor.

 

[~ Valkyrie ~]

Did I MISS SOMETHING?!

 

[8-peacock-8]

Did I MISS SOMETHING?!

an amazing crossover.

 

[dezeray112]

Well, it looks like we will have to wait until E3 this year which should be on June 11-13, I believe and I think its probably safe to say that the claimed Namco Bandai employee stated is debunked.

But wow, I did not expect Fire Emblem to do a crossover with Shin Megami Tensai! That will be the game which I look forward to.

 

[8-peacock-8]

Jack Frost is becoming a very happy demon.

 

[Arcadenik]

I am now more convinced that Balloon Fighter is very likely. Let's see what's going on with the Balloon Fight series since 2011.

2011 - Balloon Fight was one of the 3DS Ambassador games
2012 - Balloon Fight got an attraction in Nintendo Land
2013 - Balloon Fight will be the first NES for the 30th Anniversary with the NES Virtual Console

It's almost like Nintendo is promoting Balloon Fight.

 

[TheCreator]

Holy **** god damn woah


So first of all. Smash bros, Mario '3D Action game', and Mario kart 8 confirmed for E3, as well as speculating towards more Zelda stuff and more info on the fire emblem crossover and xeno**** whatever too,
Pikmin 3 shows a way of taking pictures in game that made everyone think of how awesome pokemon snap would be,
Yoshi is having a yarn adventure, but in 3D this time unlike Kirby's,
No word from retro studios,
Wonderful 101 looks interesting,
The Zelda series looks amazingly promising.

I am impressed.

 

[N3ON]

Well... that was honestly more than I was expecting. Didn't think they would make reference to what EAD was working on, mention Smash, show SMTxFE (which is going to open up a FE-sized can of worms), WW remake, or Monolith's game. I was only expecting Yoshi tbh. Definitely not complaining though.

As for how any of this will effect Smash... if Monolith's game is related to Xenoblade (which it might be, they have some similarities, and this one ended with an X) then Shulk's chances would probably increase, Toon Link is probably going to stick around (not that I thought he would get the boot anyway), and uh... SMTxFE might have an effect on the FE Rep, but it's really too early to tell.

Plus I'm going to get Golden Sun on the VC the moment it's offered.

 

[~ Valkyrie ~]

Wait, wait wait wait

let me get this straight.

Fire Emblem crosses with Shin Megami Tensei

...

...

...

WAIT A MINUTE THEY ANNOUNCED YOSHI, WIND WAKER HD, and ANOTHER MONOLITH IP.

...

WAIT A ****ING HELL MINUTE THEY'RE GONNA SHOW MARIO 3D, MARIO KART 8 AND SMASH BROS AT THIS E3?!?!?!?!?!??!

 

[ChronoBound]

Not to mention Wind Waker HD. Like I said last night, Nintendo was in panic mode, so they dropped some bombs.

 

[BKupa666]

I was going to say...this is proof that we won't see SSB4 until E3, but we WILL see it there. Brilliant.

Did the presenter literally say "we will show 'screens' of SSB4" or just "we will show SSB4" as a general statement?

 

[8-peacock-8]

.....im so.....god.......damn......HAPPY!!!!

 

[~ Valkyrie ~]

And now starts the uphill after the newsdrought.

 

[TheCreator]

He said we'll see it, but he stressed how we have to be patient. So expect pictures of it and the new Zelda come E3

 

[N3ON]

Yeah, E3 is gonna be awesome this year, with 3D Mario, Mario Kart, Retro's game, more content shown from these games, and of course, Smash. Possibly even some more surprises.

And it's only like five and a half months away....

...

He was talking about "video form" as in a trailer.

Looks like Sakurai may revisit that idea of Toon Zelda yet.

 

[TheCreator]

Yoshi's epic yarn....what. Why.

 

[~ Valkyrie ~]

Hahahah, making us wait until all we see are just something anticlimax.

Chrono: Oh God No NO NO NO NO NO

 

[Deleted member]

Toon Zelda AND Toon Ganondorf.

 

[Starphoenix]

Toon Link is probably not going anywhere. Shulk just got hinted at in the in the, likely, Xenoblade sequel. For all the haters that said Xenoblade didn't count as a series (not that it mattered anyways) can be quiet now.

 

[Deleted member]

Yarn Yoshi for Smash.

EDIT: I also did not see any sort of "Debu". I feel relieved.
...although....then again.....didn't Kirby's Epic Yarn have a Kirby-like sidekick.....?
Alright, so there's a chance that "Debu" could still exist. However, Iwata pretty much confirmed that Smash will not be shown off until E3, making that "Namco worker" completely uncredible.

 

[Arcadenik]

I am fine with Toon Zelda. It's just Toon Sheik I have a problem with. I want Tetra, not Toon Sheik.
