    Sure. I'm starting it now. No idea how we hook up though.

     

    You can set passcodes when you create a hub.

     

    I've opened a hub with the passcodes "9632"

     

    The Hub ID is 51-6512-7670-1890 You can enter it to find my room.

    I only have time for a quick simple hunt though.

    The codes going out for us too, or is it just America?

     

    They never specified America only, so keep an eye on your inbox.

    It's happened before with 4U, so I'm remaining optimistic.

     

    They showed off some Felyne gameplay, very different to normal hunters. It has no stamina bar, instead having a new bar that fills when you land attacks.

    This bar can be used to play horns, throw Barrel Bombs, etc.

    Intriguing.

    Special Early Access codes for this will be given for the demo in the near future via e-mail for lucky people who get newsletters from Ninty.

     

    It'll be available to everyone on June 30th.

     

    If you have MH4U save data, you'll get special Baby Tigrex armour for your Felyne.

     

    EDIT: And I think it's time we change the name of this thread to Monster Hunter: Generations.

    I am digging this new Mario Party! It's so fast paced! And this Toad Scramble has an insane amount of strategies going on.

     

    The ally system is really cool as well. 11 characters running around in one minigame is mental!

     

    Even that woman knows that amiiboo is the best Mario series Amiibo.

    I really hope this board reflects the voting public.

     

    You and me both. Probably won't though.

     

    Although, I voted for "Shake it all about" Damn you, @Mr\-Paul! How did you know I couldn't resist a Hokey-Kokey?

     

    I will vote for In though, provided there isn't a similar option on the day.

    On a side note, I'm loving how you can't simply go gun-ho on goblin enemies in the game. One goblin picked up an exploding crate and threw at Link and the player got a game over. :D

     

    Are you browsing on a phone? Because you just described one of the GIFs I posted at the top of this page.

     

    It's remarkable that Bokoblins of all things can actually be a threat if you're not careful.

    ...

    Love it. :laughing:

    Welcome to the dark side. :heh:

     

    Hey, I lasted a lot longer than most people. But I did cave eventually.

     

    I was just watching the Pokemon stuff and then they said, "Don't worry if you're afraid of spoilers, there's no story elements" That's how they got me, I did blank out whenever they went into a shrine though, I don't need my insane memory remembering how to solve puzzles, thanks.

     

    They might as well have said, "Glen, we've realised you said you weren't going to watch so this is for you. And trust us, that sensor bar with your WiiU is totally NOT a camera we use to spy on you. Incidentally, we're releasing an unrelated glow in the dark amiiBoo. You should probably set aside some money for that."

    Wait, people are saying the Pokémon stuff was dull?

     

    Say whaaat?

     

    It's a turn-based RPG. Pokemon gameplay is hardly the most exciting thing to watch, especially the beginning and at the glacial pace they were going.

     

    Only the nutso Pokemon fans (You, me, etc) would have found it interesting.

    They just don't understand.

     

    Because the game isn't just for people of our experience

     

    But like I said before, it takes all the intrigue out of new Pokemon. It's not a trade-off that's worth it.

    I'm sure you've had those moments when you're fighting a Gym Leader and they send out a Pokemon you've never seen before and you're desperately trying to figure out what type combination it is.

     

    This effectively takes that away.

    Really? You're surprised no-one's updated this, @Serebii? Because I'm on a phone and everyone else is too interested in spoiling surprises in Zelda to care.

    Also, I gave my impressions in the Nintendo E3 thread.

     

    Yungoos' face cracks me up. The rest of them I don't really care for at the moment.

    I swear, kids these days...

     

    Paper Mario came out for the N64 in 2001. It is very much the spiritual sequel of Super Mario RPG on the SNES, a turn-based RPG game with action elements in it.

     

    Bowser's kidnapped Peach! OH BLOODY NO! Mario goes to stamp him into oblivion, but doesn't take into account the Star Rod that Bowser has just nicked from Star Haven. It kinda makes him invincible, which is no doubt problematic.

    So Mario needs to rescue the 7 star spirits that Bowser has imprisoned and use their power to shove his foot up some over sized Koopa backside once again.

     

    Story-wise, there's nothing special here. It is a typical Mario RPG plot. But this game does have some great humour backing it up though, along with some outright silly scenarios to spice things up along the way, including a Penguin Murder Case!

    And a bit of utter stupidity to help add to the absurdity.

    Of course, I naturally hit the real Kooper for nothing more than giggles!

    Anyway, this plays very much like a typical RPG, the key difference being that you can pull off "Action commands", stuff like timed button presses to increase damage or defend yourself from attacks. Nowhere near as complex as the Mario & Luigi series, but still fun none-the-less.

    It's a nice, easy game to play through. But if you do a little digging, you can find some truly punishing battles in this.

    Most people will tell you that the hardest boss in this game is an optional boss called "The Master". Those people are wrong, that boss is absolute cake compared to this absolute nightmare!

    For contexts sake, just one of those enemies can do a whopping 10-12 HP damage in one turn, (Mario does a piddly 6 by default, but there are ways of increasing this) so three of them is seriously bad news.

    Don't worry, I did it. Because I'm just that good at Paper Mario!

    Visuals have aged remarkably well for an N64 game, a serious case for art style over graphical power here. It's quite possibly the nicest looking N64 game by today's standards.

     

    Soundtrack is very catchy as well, one early song in particular is so ingrained in my head that I'm afraid I'll never truly forget it for as long as I live.

     

    I recommend giving this game a go if you haven't already, it's still a solid RPG that has definitely withstood the time test.

    Although that said, it does have some early installment weirdness in there...

    It really seriously does. Have no idea why they felt the need to do this.

     

    I believe they mentioned something about wanting to open up the game to newer players.

     

    I feel like this might be an "EXP Share" moment. Pokemon games are easy enough. There's literally no reward for knowing the type matchups now.
