The trailer gives me the impression that someone at Nintendo noticed that Persona was really popular and said, "We need that on our consoles. Somebody go see if we can strike a deal with Atlus to make Persona 6 a Wii U exclusive." Somewhere along the line Fire Emblem got involved and this is the result.
It looks good though to me, I'll definitely get it. Was hoping for more of the traditional SMT and FE battle system though, from what I can see the format of the battles and even the enemy designs seems quite Persona. Also, I fear that since it appears more like Persona there won't be much in regards to morality/decision; that's one of my favorite aspects of the main series.
200cc, Blue Falcon karts, Mute City only. The closest I'll get to F-Zero.
They are still printing out new copies of the game? I thought production was over long ago.
Yeah, shocking isn't it. Nintendo should probably be paying the Project M development team for helping to keep the game alive seven years after its initial release.
I'd be okay with this. I feel like it would make the lighthouse easier to navigate and could reduce the number of redundant threads posted.
I think it makes sense. There is not much traffic on the stickies anyways so you might as well combine them by company. As you said, it will look better.
60 dollars is definitely a lot, but given the quality of the game itself, it's worth it. The content might not be like your average JRPG, but I'd say the content is on par with a typical non-Mario/Zelda Nintendo title (Pikmin). I haven't finished single player mode, but it's going to take several hours or so to finish from the looks of it. Learning curve is actually perfect for this game. After the first boss, the game actually requires thought and precision which is rather early and rare for recent Nintendo titles. Tutorial is handled perfectly. Game doesn't stop you to teach you things, it's more like Starfox 64 on how they teach you through dialogue boxes without pausing the game.
I do. Since I tinker with game dev myself I actually like playing bad games, and seeing where they went wrong... and if it turns out to be good, then I have nothing to complain about there either.
As someone who is also interested in game development (and likes to make and play homebrew tabletop games) I think it's more interesting to play games that are just kind of average. In a bad game is usually glaringly obvious what went wrong, but in an okay game its much more challenging to pick out what's holding the game back.
Which seems ironic since user reviews in Amazon Japan seems to highly praise the game.
It depends. Shoddy games are always boring, but a bad game can be bad despite good elements, or interesting ideas, trying to pull those apart and seeing if it was bad or unfinished ideas or poor implementation that held it back in each field gives you a lot of learning potential.
As I said, if it turns out to be good, then I'm not going to complain. But it's worth noting the Japanese Amazon reviews are mostly first time normal shooter players spurred on by Splatoon to try something else in the genre... My first jRPG was FFVIII and that's a bad game, but I still enjoyed it when I played it the first time. I have taken the movement based game play into consideration, and always thought it looked more Duke Nukem than CoD for when I do get hands on with it, but I still don't put much stock in the Amazon Japan reviews, especially as it's such early days and early reviewers are normally the most positive.
I guess we're just at a disagreement in terminology. For me, "boring" and "bad" are interchangeable. Games were created to entertain, and if your game isn't entertaining then something has gone horribly wrong. I guess I personally get more out of games that I consider average, I.E an underwhelming, adequate time killer.
I'd call FFVIII different, flawed, but not bad in the slightest.
