Yeah, there are so many story driven titles available on the other platforms/PC, and that's where anyone who's into that kind of gaming should be looking for those experiences. That's not to say people shouldn't enjoy and anticipate Nintendo's take on it every so often, but they shouldn't be expecting the same quality or amount of narrative focused games being made by Nintendo or appearing on its consoles. Never been what they're primarily about, hopefully never will.

Yeah, something is definitely up with NSMBU, but I can't quite put my finger on it... I've still not finished it though, and rarely find the motivation to even start playing. Could just be that I'm a bit tired of platformers at the moment, but this is the first time I've ever played through a Mario game with such gigantic gaps in between each session. Weirdest thing of all is that when I do actually play it, I have a great time. Mario Paint high five! : peace:Kind of tempted to get my SNES hooked up and have another go on MP. I wonder what the last thing I worked on was like. Dat 1 save slot. Remember having to use a VCR to record stuff? Those were the days.

Same here, and I enjoy the Nintendo of past and present.

That vid gave me major goose bumps at the end of the latest Nintendo Direct... Still does when I watch it now. Have to admit, I was thinking it could be something else when they were lingering on Super Mario Kart for so long. Anyway, can't believe 200cc is finally happening. The way it changes up/creates new shortcuts is amazing, it seems as though it's going to feel like playing a new game! :awesome: Next DLC also looks rad, and bringing the release date forward was the icing on the cake. New amiibo costumes too! Annoyed that there's no Pikachu one though, especially as Mega Man, Sonic and Pac-Man are now included. @Serebii, why no Poké costumes you reckon?

I really hope they choose a more obscure character to add to Smash, and preferably not from any of the franchises that are already heavily represented. Would love to see quirky characters, like Tingle, Chibi-Robo, Goemon, Jimmy T, Ulala and the one I ended up voting for: :awesome: Gotta get that Karate Joe amiibo!

Words cannot describe how happy I am that the Data Robot and its legendary tune from Mario Paint return for Mario Maker. I actually hope it takes as long to upload stages as it did to save stuff on MP, just so I can listen to it more. Obviously very much looking forward to Mario Maker, but I am quite puzzled by the September release. Going on what they've shown so far (in fact, even when it was first shown) the game looks ready to roll, I really don't understand what's going to hold it up until September. Perhaps impatience is clouding my judgement though.

Might wanna resize them a bit next time. Big GIFs be Big. I think it'd actually be unplayable. Seriously, it's impossible to get that bike around some corners as it is.

G1: I imagine the only thing worse than that theme, would be to do it at 200cc. : peace:

Best. Direct. Ever.

I'd be up for some pre-Direct Smash.

Commencing Hype!!!! [countdown=04/01/2015 11:00 PM;]Count down:[/countdown] All rise for the Nintendo Direct hype train anthem: Audio

Me. But I'm someone that actually likes/plays videogames, which seems to be a bit of a rarity around here these days.

Finished the final mission of the demo earlier. They bring in another boss Oni and just as you think you're gonna fight it... "Thanks for Playing!" Good way to make people go and buy the full game. Anyway, I found the demo quite fun, so I'll definitely be keeping the full version in mind for the future. Yes it's essentially a poor man's Monster Hunter, but that's what makes it enjoyable. I like how it's also got aspects from the silly side of MH, like a cute pet animal thingy you can look after/send on quests, and the same kind of goofy dialogue from the NPCs. Gotta love ω-Force's character designs too:

Got the Platinum trophy for this today! Check out the awesome commemorative screenshot of that magical moment: To be fair this game was made before the trophy screenshot thing existed, still found it amusing though. Anyway, guess I should check out the DLC at some point, there seems to be quite a bit.

Really!? *checks vid* ... Oh yeah!

Yeah, I was just using random because I don't have any custom characters (apart from Falcon and R.O.B., but it's been so long since I played, they were pretty much random too ) that Yoshi I got on the last fight I took part in was crazy! Super floaty, and able to KO with his neutral B!?: I certainly did enjoy it, cheers for the games! Unlikely that I'll be on tonight, but I really do want to play this game more often as it's such a laugh. : peace: Couple more GIFs from last night: Awsome double KO by The Peeps: And a nice mid-air rest on my unsuspecting DHD, by Glen-i: Good times.

Well I tried to recreate that angle in MKTV, but unfortunately it just wouldn't happen. Customisable camera options next time please, Nintendo! Here's a slo-mo of my misfortune anyway: Speaking of misfortune... I shroom dodged a Spiny for the first time in ages (hardly ever in 1st place anymore, let alone with a shroom) but even that wasn't enough to win the race. I got pinpoint green shelled on the 3rd lap, which opened the door for a multitude of attacks and a cheeky last second nudge by / nando / : "So unfair!" Anyway, next week sure is going to be interesting with that bike. Looking forward to it though. : peace:

OK I'm online. Probably not for too long though. Let the super rusty Smashing commence!

I may jump on for a few games. It's been way too long since I played this.

That's why I was interested in it too, but that was before finding out you can do this already, without the need for spotify. Now I just chuck a load of mp3s on a USB stick and it's job done.

Big-time. Absolutely superb game. :awesome: One of Konami's finest. That vid is making me want to dig out my N64 to play through it again.

G1: Frantic Mode indeed. That was mental!! : peace:

Just played a bit of the demo. I can't believe how blatant a ripoff of Monster Hunter this is! Sooo many similarities it's unreal. Need to play some more, but first impressions are pretty good. Anyone else try it?

Really I just want finalised release dates for the stuff we already know about. Would like to see the next wave of Smash Bros. amiibo too, I'm hoping that the DHD and R.O.B. amiibo turn out well. Surprises are obviously welcome though, if somewhat unlikely seeing as E3 is around the corner. The 2nd MK8 DLC pack will almost certainly feature, and I'm definitely looking forward to seeing that in action as well. Still wondering if they'll include a Splatoon themed track.

Dunno, but the best place to post that (and anything to do with the voice chat issue) would be the other thread I made yesterday.
