Pissed off. It would be a f***up on Sakurai's end not to include him from the start, but to knowingly generate cheap hype by playing up the potential appearance of a character he's well-aware people want, then not delivering, that would cancel out quite a bit of whatever goodwill I have left for the guy.
This. Despite my respect for Sakurai as a talented game developer (and the fact that I
try to go easy on him because of his health issues), after Brawl and his various interviews my opinion of him is not very high at all (In fact, he's kind of arch-nemesis to me in terms of
very differing views on game philosophy). So for Sakurai to not even at least have the decency to disconfirm Ridley the minute Pyrosphere came up? Yeah, that would be a very low blow. This is why I'm keeping very pessimistic outlook on the game as a whole: I don't want my expectations shattered like last time
My beef with Prime 2 is just I feel the dark world took away a little from the world a little bit, but not too much. Also NO RIDLEY. D:
Understandable. I liked the dread of the Dark World, but I know a lot of people didn't as well. And funny how you mention Ridley, as I thought not having Ridley as a boss this time was actually kind of refreshing.
You guys may have seen this before but still I just think this is great.
Never realized how disproportionate Ridley's Zero Mission sprite was until now. His feet are HUGE! Now I can see where the toobigots are coming from!
