I was hyped for Other M when I saw it announced, yet somehow I totally forgot about it by the following year and didn't even notice it release, despite Metroid being one of my favorite franchises. I guess I was wrapped up too much in the hype for Halo: Reach, which came out the following month. Thank goodness I did forget, though.

I'm not even opposed to a cinematic, story-based Metroid. Just one that doesn't have a garbage script.

I repurchased a Wii just for it.

My original Wii I stayed outside a K-Mart to get day one died and I moved on to Xbox 360 with my friends since I had kind of dropped out of Brawl by then anyway. Sold most of my games through the shop I worked at and just went all in on Xbox.

But then Other M came out and I went and bought a Wii all over again specifically to play that game, then the week it came out I had to drive an hour south to stay with grandparents for something I can't remember, so I played my brand new game on my brand new console on a little 10" TV with a built-in VCR on top of a nightstand I pulled to the front of the bed because I was going to play that game.

I think all of this exponentialized my disappointment.

I'll throw my hat in the ring again and say that Super Mario Odyssey's trailer at the end of E3 2017 is one of Nintendo's best closers. We already knew that the game existed and was the kind of Mario game a lot of people have been waiting for since Sunshine, but this trailer showed that there was a lot more to the game than anyone could've guessed. The amazing vocal track, the capture mechanic, and friggin' T-Rexes.

It was the first time I ever got directly hyped for a Mario game, and thus also the first time I pre-ordered one, and as of last week I've completed two 100% playthroughs of it. I would've preferred if it were a little more objective-based like SM64 or Sunshine, instead of more collectathon-based like some of Rare's old platformers, but the game is so overall enjoyable that it's fine. I personally rate it a notch higher than Breath of the Wild, since Breath of the Wild has amazing strengths but some glaring weaknesses, whereas SMO has virtually no weaknesses. It's just an overall fantastic, polished game.

I like spreading positivity instead of arguing why we don't supposrt specific characters.

For me, I support Crono because Chrono Trigger is my favorite game of all time and I'd love to see it immortalized in a game such as Smash as Square has pretty mich peft the IP to die. Crono would be such a fun character to play with his katana and Lightning magic, not to mention the possibility of Dual Techs, one of the most fun features original to the game. And finally, he'd bring an amazing selection of music that wouldn't even need to be remixed.

Chrono is up there as well for me. He totally has material that can be used as a moveset. Not to mention that music. Chronic trigger has some of the best music ever in my opinion.

I thought it was already a score for each stage though? When you talked about it, I imagined it being like a ranking system that give your score at the end of each stage and that it was solely based on the performance on that stage. Regardless, it is indeed a better choice imo.
As for improving, just let players replay stages to get a higher score. If players are to be punished for dying or taking damage, make it so that it only takes into accounts the deaths that happened during this particular run during the stage.

Each stage has their own score. While the player is on the overworld, the score displayed is the combination of all the stage scores the player currently has.

Stage scores are used for stuff like "reach this score in this stage to unlock this cutscene", while the overworld one (the combination of all current scores) is used for "reach this score to unlock this extra area" and "reach this score to be gifted with this item". Once the player achieves the "reach this score for the true final boss" in the overworld, when they play the last stage it will feature the true final boss.

Players have 3 lives to complete a stage, if they lose all 3, they have to restart the stage from the beggining. The deaths only affect the current stage score.
I'm thinking of giving them a different penalization, maybe removing any bonus they were carrying when they lost all lives, like a "damage increasing bonus" or a "multi jump bonus". Something like Sonic's shields or how Mario is reset to his Small Mario form on 2D games when he dies. Maybe that would be better.

As for having new people worried about score. When they start their run, they are asked if they want to turn the Highscore Board on or off for this run. So new players can enjoy the game without worrying about their score, since it only unlocks extra stuff.

I'm pretty sure most game scoring systems dk that already.

Yeah, but the focus here is how the score affects the game instead of only being a number used for bragging rights.

Hypothetically, if we were to get one echo fighter revealed tommorow, who do you think it would be?

I would guess Octoling. Splatoon's a huge success, so another character would feel justified.

Among possible DLC echoes, it's one of the few that feel obvious. Unless AT's would get upgraded, then Shadow too.

Hey staindgrey staindgrey , since you're pretty much the resident Resident Evil expert here (see what I did there?), I had a question. So I started RE2 this afternoon and for the most part I've been popping caps in zombies' heads until they "die" whenever I get the chance to. Now, is it true that the zombies who technically "die" will eventually turn into lickers? 'Cause now I'm a bit concerned that they'll come back to haunt me. Also excuse my Noob Knowledge™ btw.

I wouldn't mind Sora.


But I also couldn't give less of a hoot about the franchise so he'd just be one of the 5 in the fighter pass to me. :drshrug:

Just got done with a super long session of KH3. Played like an hour longer than I wanted to because the game forced me into super long sequences without a chance to save. I like the Pirate's of the Caribbean world so far, but I will admit the awkward save point placements bug me. :/

Did I miss anything cool? Any neato rumors for tomorrow besides the usual "I swear Metroid Prime Trilogy and Mother 3 are gonna be at the Direct tomorrow guys, honest"?

If Sora gets revealed, I will write an entire essay on the importance of celery.

Let's be real,

The only real reason Sora would be hype for me, is the fact that it would mean Disney would be listed in the copyright section.
