Same reliving my childhood
The start with the 8-bit professor had me within seconds I cried tears of Joy :')
Oh and the Pokemart is back How I missed it so.

Sooooooo what's everyone playing? Pokemon for me.

There is this one game called Super Smash Brothers for Wii U, it is probably too obscure for you.

 

[PsychoIncarnate]

I beat the game and am thinking about starting again with a different starter. See how that goes.

I don't think I picked Treeko even back in the day

Treeko was always the odd ball.
Don't get me wrong I love all the gen 3 starters but he was the one with the unique eyes

Always made him stand out to me :3

I changed mine the other night. Felt like fiddling with GIMP to make a Miku sig to match my Miku avy, it's a thing I used to do on GameSpot forums whenever I would post there.

 

[allison]

Lady Luck could get angry eventually. I mean, it happened with Mario Kart Wii back in like, 2012. Speaking of that game, lol people are still playing it.

I thought people only still played it because of awesome modded tracks.

Also, I didn't know that Peppy actually says "Do a barrel roll!" multiple times in Star Fox 64.

Yeah, that's what I was saying lol. People play it for those modded tracks. I mean, sure, they can still play it, but...isn't it time to move onto Mario Kart 8?

 

[LunarWingCloud]

Lol they haven't even moved on to Mario Kart 7.

MK7 is still being played. Just not by MKWii players. lol

After Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection's shutdown in May, some guy by the name of Wiimm made his own service falled Wiimmfi.. people still play Mario Kart Wii online thanks to that (including Custom Tracks). I don't play that game anymore.

 

[Ffamran]

Lol they haven't even moved on to Mario Kart 7.

People haven't moved on from Final Fantasy *insert number and/or subtitle here*, Dark Souls 1, SSB 64, Melee, or Brawl; Sonic 2 or 3; The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past or Ocarina of Time; and etc.

I'll admit until 8 came along, Wii was definitely my favorite Mario Kart game. But it's so imbalanced, it's like the Brawl of Mario Kart. It's time to let it go and move on to something more up to date.

Hilariously I'm a fan of a lot of those you mentioned and yet I've moved on from all those.

 

[Ffamran]

At least it's a game. There are people who don't believe in new cars, telephones, TV, and probably, radios. And no, they're not Amish or whatever else groups.

 

[R0Y]

Me neither, but I've latched onto other god-tier developers since. Naughty Dog, Retro Studios (somewhat), Bandai Namco, maybe even Bioware at this rate.

And if you miss colourful 3D platformers as a genre, there's a big one coming out next year on PS4; the Ratchet & Clank reboot, as well as a port of Tearaway from the Vita, which got phenomenal reviews on that system.

Some people I know claim MK8 is terrible because of "item unbalancing". They even told me to not get a Wii U thanks to that, and look at me now, I have one already. I don't really know why people think MK8 is bad.

MKW is out of date I agree. Then again there's still a devoted community that keeps on playing the game even if the latest game in the series is out. It's hard to go back to a game like that (MKW).

 

[JamesDNaux]

Naughty Dog

They're almost as bad as Rare. They completely dropped Jak for Uncharted, and worse, a generic zombie game.
I haven't touched any of their games since the PS2.

next year.
PS4.
Ratchet & Clank reboot

Why have I not heard of this? My wallet is ready.

Lmfao yeah, MKWii's item balance is so bad it's not even funny. That game's support ended in May. People play it just because of Wimmfi being a thing. If that wasn't a thing, MKWii would be already left in the dust.

Because people love playing old games for no reason at all, despite having played the latest game in the series. MK8 is not bad, it's the MKWii community that it's making it look bad.

Well, there's stuff like Shovel Knight, Savant: Ascent, Risk of Rain, To the Moon, Secrets of Grindea, 3D Dot Game Heroes, etc. to get your "nostalgia" fix. Personally, they're just using bits as another form of a medium like how Contrast, Splinter Cell: Conviction, and Limbo used shadows, Okami and The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword drawing from paintings, Sly Cooper and inFAMOUS drawing from comic books and graffiti in Second Son, or Metal Gear and Spec Ops: The Line basing their presentations on films. They're all forms of presentation.

Gonna have to agree to disagree on Naughty Dog. Jak II, 3, and Racing were terrible in my opinion. It's only been uphill since, though I'd like to seem them try a traditional 3D platformer like their PS1 or early PS2 era again. First Jak & Daxter was amazing too!

Well, Jak 3 is one of my favorite games. Probably my favorite of the series, maybe even my favorite PS2 game in general. Though I could understand how one might not enjoy the sequels compared to the first one, with the genre shift.

Which is ironically similar to me not enjoying the shift from Jak to Uncharted.

Seems possible, lol.

Meh, I'm not that much into realistic games. Sure Uncharted and TLOU get good reviews and are successes but they don't appeal to me. I prefer their old titles. (Coming from a guy who doesn't own that much PS consoles.)

Have you seen the concept for a reboot of Jak & Daxter? Naughty Dog is like... Hmm, I swear there's an artist, author, etc. like this. Whatever, they're the types to abandon projects after projects. They never went back to Crash Bandicoot or Jak & Daxter. Uncharted is probably going to be abandoned when they're done and The Last of Us seems more like a spur of the moment or a way to pass the time for fans; TLoU seems like The Walking Dead as a video game.

Before they made Uncharted, they wanted to make a fantasy, swords and sorcery game and guess what? Yes, they will abandon that franchise as well if they had made it.

Sucker Punch, I think, is the smallest studio compared to Sony's other first-party developers including Insomniac Games who are like Sakurai and Sora Ltd. who just happen to work on first-party games. So, Sucker Punch made inFAMOUS, didn't have time to make another Sly Cooper since there was demand for inFAMOUS which made sense since there was only the Batman: Arkham games as good, well-known superhero games. Sanzaru Games, essentially, picked up where Sucker Punch left off.

Insomniac Games is the only one to stick with an old franchise while also making different games which I applaud them for even if they weren't that good or interesting. Seriously, they introduced Resistence, Fuse, Sunset Overdrive along with continuing and experimenting with Ratchet & Clank! A first-person, alternate history, almost apocalyptic FPS, what was supposed to be a tactical, third-person shooter, and a wacky, Dead Rising-like third-person shooter where you can grind on rails and it breaks the fourth wall constantly. That's amazing.

It's just funny, NaughtyDog and Insomniac were often put together as rivals, though they had a good relationship. But Insomniac actually continues their old series while making new ones, while NaughtyDog can apparently only do one thing at a time.

Insomniac are like, Nintendo level developers. Though I can't forgive them for making an XBone game.

Crash though, NaughtyDog can't be blamed for that, they never owned the character in the first place. But leaving Jak in limbo...

I used to like Mario Kart Wii, but then I played 150cc and kept getting Blue-Shelled literally seconds before I cross the finish line, thus resulting in extreme anger.

The genre shift is what makes the series so interesting to me. I only enjoyed the first one myself; however, my sister hated the first but she was quite fond of two and three. Mostly Jak 2. But still.

It's really close between Jak 1 and 3 for me, I love the platforming in the first one, but Jak 3 is awesome in tons of other ways.

Jak II has those bloody turret missions.

Also, nice... mustache.

I am not too fond of Sony's exclusive first-party titles either, yet I was a Sony loyalist last generation. I love Microsoft's first-party titles, but I do not own an Xbox One and I never bought Xbox Live for my Xbox 360. I wish I did though.
