I absolutely love Critical Mode on KH II FM+. As I'm doing a level 1 playthrough, I can see some of the depth put into the boss battles. Guard is just too good!
I would've said that but...geez, it's just too hard. :urg:

The day I beat Enigmatic Soldier is the day I die of sudden and severe heart palpitations.

I still haven't beaten the game at level one, however. I gave up at the 1000 heartless fight. I can beat Demyx without getting hit, but can't beat up a 1000 heartless? That was the last spot I thought I'd get stuck at.

That was quite the b*tch. The only thing tougher than that for me was the Solar Sailer in Space Paranoids, because those stupid Devastators that constantly attack to all sides of their MASSIVE, FLYING bodies.

And obviously Enigmatic Soldier. But I did get past it, mostly by spamming Counterguard and some judicial use of magic (and mashing the triangle button the entire time).

ANYWAYS

In other matters, it's come to my attention that Tatsunoko vs. Capcom has a slew of mini-games.

"Groan." you say. "More mini-games on the Wii? Why?"

Well groan no more, good sir and/or madam. For these are not just "mini-games". No, the included miniature ventures are in fact "Awesome mini-games", which include:

>Find The Servbot
>Alex Throws A Car
>Chun-li Sculpting Marble Via Kicking It
>Polishing Gold Lightan

Is this awesome? Y/Y

El oh El. Stop Kidding me. Those arn't minigames. Those are Awesome games :laugh:
Agreed.

They should have a specific mini game for the character you chose that you get to play midway through arcade mode like SF II and III. I love barrel/car breaking.

EDIT: YES!

I know some people don't everyone likes DQ, but as I do.
Oh God, this scared me. Not the trailer (which is awesome 2 DA MAX), but because when I quoted your post...this wasn't there. :psycho:

Phantom text...

So...might you by any chance have played the DS port/remake of DQIV? I'd like to know if it's worth it, since I've already played the game to death on PC...

Weird.
You should coin the phrase phantom text if it isn't already.

Sadly, I haven't bought it yet. There were other games I had to buy first. I would've bought it sooner if the game was priced at 40 dollars.

Man that looks cool. Only after watching that do I realize that what I've always wanted out of a jRPG is for it to...not actually be a jRPG. For those unaware, Fragile: Farewell Ruins of the Moon is a game where you control a young boy named Seto in a post-apocalyptic, near-future Japan, who as far as I know, is just wandering around aimlessly. I honestly had no idea what to expect out of this game until I saw this trailer...

...It just looks really, really good. That song's beautiful, the character design...is, okay, a bit silly. The gameplay, which seems to consist almost entirely of exploring ruins with nothing but a flashlight. I'm suddenly incredibly anxious to play this.

I'm also looking forward to Fragile also. I saw the Japanese website a long time ago, but I had no clue what the game was about.

Tri-Crescendo's making this, so I'm looking forward to it.

I've always wanted a game that emphasized exploration, so I hope this ends up being a good game.

wot aboot GTA u can do ANYTHANG in liburty city!!-*gets shot*

Yeah, it looks very interesting. Made by the same people behind the Baiten Kaitos games, so I'm looking forward as well.

What ever happened to "Disaster: Day of Crisis?" I haven't heard anything about it for a long time. Didn't get canned like "Project H.A.M.M.E.R." did, did it?

My brother owns GTA IV, so I might need to borrow that someday. I never got around to playing it when I could.

Nope, it's still around. I think it's actually releasing in Japan this month (or the next), but I don't believe they've set a North American release date yet...which is kind of silly, since we're all about epic, cinematic action games starring macho men in realistic environs.

But yeah, it's out there. And it has GIANT FOOD. Seriously, around mark 0:38 in this exemplary video. Be amazed.

disaster: day of crisis has already been out in Japan. It's coming to EUROPE this month.
Unfortunately, they're not bringing it out to the US of A until NOA sees how good it's European sales are.

Which is why I'm going to get my Wii modded to be able to play the European version. Knowing Nintendo, it'll never come out here, same as Captain Rainbow.

I'd imagine Disaster has a fair shake at release over here, actually. It's not a "Wacky Japanese" game, like Cap'n Rainbow is...plus it'd be really weird for a 2nd Party Nintendo game to not come out everywhere...*glares longingly at tingle ds*

ANYWAY

So apparently Suda 51 (the No More Heroes guy) was interviewed by Eurogamer a little while ago, and NMH:DS is apparently centered on "revenge", and while it's still going to have some comical moments, Suda's going to make it more serious, and less jovial overall.

But that's not what's important.

I think Suda's one of the coolest developers around today, and this proves it: during the interview, Suda expressed his admiration for a past E3 promotion where the developer threw pants at passerby (I believe it was for Rare's misguided GBA flop "It's Mr. Pants"), and said that "One day, I want to be able to throw pants to the public. That's one of my main goals."

I might know the reason why.... because they don't want Lip in the US so they trying to keep her away from the US for all cause. I just know it. ;_;

The trailers just keep on coming, people. Remember hearing about "Innocent Aces: Sky Crawlers?"

If not, that's because until now it was just a name, and one or two quick cuts in that big Nintendo trailer from their recent media summit. But now we've got this trailer, and it looks really, really cool. For the first minute I could've mistaken it for Gonzo's latest original anime.


@The Executive: The first guy is Ken Washio, of the Science Ninja Team from the "classic" animation Gathcaman.

EDIT - And hooray for bootleggers! 358/2 Days is up on YouTube. Most of it's the same old boring cutscenes of Twilight Town and it's "inhabitants", but there's also a good amount of actual gameplay.

I'm very happy to see that they kept the camera pulled so far back. That was one of the worst things about the first KH (which I relate to this one as they both have the same camera controls). And multiplayer looks awesome.

I wish I had the time to go to this. The sad part is the only thing that got me hype was Resident Evil 5 and that's on the 360, I can't buy that game right now. =/

Maybe the new Soinc game will get my hype latter.

The trailers have been around August when i first started getting info for Innocent Aces. From IGN it said its a tight good old Skill and Luck Dogfight, and different from the blip and luck ones of Ace Combat.

I also LOL'ed when Xion was going to remove her hood and then the logo just comes up. Her face is already on the internet.

Am I the only one who thought the Tales of Symphonia: Dawn of the New World trailer was more awesome then the picture TheWaft?

"You better pray to Martel one last time.."

EDIT: I'm not really a fan of Kingdom Hearts, Like, I might have a look at it, but I'll probably end up buying a different game.
