Fused King

Apparently, the sequel to Wreck-It Ralph will have a special place for Mario in it. The way the people involved talked about it sounded like it would be much more than just a Sonic cameo in the first one.

Just imagine being in his shoes right now. Running a multi-billion dollar company. Having to come up with new ideas along with others in order to turn a profit. I weep at this system of competition and profits, but I wish him the best of luck and hope he will be able to enjoy a full and rich life

Wow. Just wow. I bet Miyamoto's new IP uses every functionality of the WiiU Gamepad in order to balance things out, and that'll be the end of that then I guess

When it comes to Japanese, context is definitely needed. I guess we'll see what tomorrow brings.

CALLING ALL FORCES, CALLING ALL FORCES! I think I might just have prices that are getting lower and lower. I've invested a lot this week!!! I beg all of you, DO THE RIGHT THING! Notify your local Fused King!

It has already happened: We're too late.

HOLY DAMN THIS GAME IS DA BUSINESS! Completed the first 'playthrough' so to speak and it's so damn good, so damn tight! I think NINTENDO needs to start mastering other franchises first before they even consider going back to Mario again! They've nailed him so many times he must be hurting an awful lot by now

Bought Turnips again fellas! !Help is appreciated if you have huge spike in the coming days!

And now for something completely different, a timeless classic with an emphasis on time: Grade: 0/100 Put those backs in them memorable quotes fellers!

FIRST POST UPDATED! Average Score: 89/100 I guess this reflects people's comments of the game despite not everyone giving a grade. Memorable Quotes:

AQUATIC AMBIANCE! My God, David Wise's glorious return! I hope he stays for good!

Yeah, I meant class change. A, that's a shame. I would've thought you could upgrade here to some über strong, even more sexy Taguel, but she just becomes more human Looks like I'll have to think this through.

Would've loved to see Cranky's walking stick as a pre-order bonus.

Quick question, and I'm afraid I already know the answer to it, BUT... If I upgrade Panne will she stop being an awesome Bunny Rabbit when it comes to her attacks?

One epic final trailer at E3. Trailer ends. Iwata says: 'Available for Download now on WiiU and 3DS and at Retail tomorrow.'

A, another one of these kind o' threads. Mandatory:

Now then, without further ado, from a Wii controversy to a Game Cube controversy it's Now I have yet to play this one, so I'm interested in the opinions on this one. I have only seen it being played a few times when I was younger, and from what I recall it looked pretty damn awesome! Remember now: Grade 0/100 + A tagline --------------------------- Average Score: 89/100 I guess this reflects people's comments of the game despite not everyone giving a grade. Memorable Quotes:

Hmmmmm, my idea was to create a big thread with the OP as a central HUB for all the games we've discussed, but I guess a new thread is also possible...

OP updated, and all I can say is

Well, looks like this thread got pushed to the side a li'l bit in light of Iwata's recent outings, which is understandable because it's an extremely interesting period for NINTENDO. Anyway, I'd like to stress that aside from giving your impressions on the game or on what you remember of it, this thread is also there to get a bit of a discussion going regarding certain aspects of the game. That's why I asked people about the ending in my latest post, but sadly it got added to it as an edit and I guess nobody saw it. As Jonnas has said, I haven't put my impressions + grade + short sentence up yet so here it goes: The first thing I recall when thinking about Skyward Sword is me and a buddy o' mine meeting up and me asking him what he thought of the game. He lowered his head, shook it in disappointment and sighed. This, we both thought, was surely not the Zelda we were thinking we would get considering Aonuma's quotes about the game. Why the hell was the sky over world so depressingly empty? Why on earth was the game so incredibly linear? Why was the music soooo not memorable? We were rather disappointed. Time has past since then, and one of the unique properties of the Zelda series is that you get to look at them differently over time (especially when a new Zelda comes out, though that hasn't happened yet). Skyward Sword is no exception. Now, I look back fondly on certain aspects of the game. *Put me in camp 'loving Motion Control', because I thought it worked pretty damn sweet in Skyward Sword. Hitting stuff got that extra oompf thanks to Wii Motion+ and it felt quite satisfying. *The art style was truly eye candy and made for some of the most beautiful environments in a Zelda game I've ever seen. *Characters that oozed personality with Ghirahim being the pinnacle. I thought Zant was fucked up, but damn this guy was a theatrical treat to watch. *Some really, REALLY great dungeons and enemies such as the obvious Koloktos and the time shifting sea area. *The Ancient Cistern and the Buddhist story behind it. If you haven't looked this up yet you seriously should. And then there are a good handful of aspects that I thought to be rather dull: *Fi. The Worst ever. I just couldn't bring myself to love her because of the way she talked and acted. Put there simply to annoy you with her talk of percentages. REALLY! Talk of percentages in a Zelda game? Would've thought they'd build some sort of stock exchange mini game around her at the very least... *A handful of incredibly beautiful music could not stand up against the amount of tracks that just did nothing for me. This was more of a 'atmospheric' Zelda game considering music than it was a Zelda of memorable tunes. Just see one of my earlier posts of Link and Fi playing the harp and singing respectively... *The linearity of it all. Thinking about the game now, and this goes for Twilight Princess as well to an extent, it really didn't feel like a game that had much open exploring in it. It was one of those games in which you had to go from A to B to C to D AND you were able to get pretty much all the collectibles and such during the journey. Sure you had to go back to certain areas from time to time, but it's not as if you would discover anything worthwhile... Then you have the dynamic between Link and Zelda which I thought was done in a pretty unique way once again and seeing Kaepora Gaebora in human form was also nice to see. The new races were also really well done I thought, except for those strange jellyfish which didn't do it for me. In conclusion I'd say that Skyward Sword brought some good and it brought some bad, with the good outweighing the bad by somewhat. This means the game ends up getting a 70/100 for me and I shall bestow upon it the quote: 'This one is in desperate need of a replay' ------------------- Tomorrow evening I shall put the average score for this game in the OP, add some quotes from you guys, and also post the new game we will get to share impressions on and of course discuss.

I can definitely see them setting up a few small scale teams who could put some interesting 'software' on smart devices which would point people towards a WiiU or 3DS. Not sure if it will work though, but I hope they might be able to crack the code.

Damn, it's like E3 up in this joint. 30th of January can't come soon enough!

Myeah, I get what you're saying. These are indeed times where games alone don't really do it for the consumers anymore. Even I, at age 22, am getting 'old' so to speak because I couldn't care less for the hardware and all its features. I just want to play awesome games and have great experiences like Xenoblade, Journey, Castlevania: Symphony of the Night, Eternal Darkness, or Wonderful 101. A day and age where hardware matters more than sofware in the gaming industry stings man, it really stings and NINTENDO, as a software company at heart since the dawn of gaming, is feeling it.

It is a weird situation, but is it weird to think that, in this industry, if a console has good games on it people would want to go out and buy that console? But I guess the perception of what makes a 'good game' nowadays is kind of changing. What is definitely needed I think is more partnerships. NINTENDO had proven that they struggle with releasing a steady stream of high quality games over the year even with a handful of partnerships. They need a better network I think, a network which has development studios who work on new IPs like they did with Platinum.
