killer kirby

I was having a talk with my roommate who is a big online gamer, pretty much he told me yesterday 'It's funny, I really think games and gamers in general are becoming isolated because everything is online, where is the fun in local multiplayer?' To which then of course he and I had a game of Nintendo Land and had a ball. But it has made me thinking, online may make the game more enjoyable, but having so may get rid of the intention of what this game is all about. Iwata said in a Nintendo Direct that most families now keep to themselves because of smartphones and tablets. No one is connecting with one another. Nintendo created Nintendo Land and perhaps the WiiU in general so family and friends can come together and play together. Do not get me wrong, I love online games, my two most hyped up future release games is an MMO and the other is a must for online as well. But for people to get the most out of a game like this they need to connect with people, imagine a little boy playing online and his father wants to know what he's up to only to say 'Playing online with some friends' instead of 'Why not come and play with me to find out.' and not having a good bond. I had fantastic times with my father playing Donkey Kong, Mario and Tetris on the SNES if those games had online I perhaps wouldn't have played with my father as much in games. In this day and age though, many kids are more isolated and absorbed with online, my nephew of 6 years old is obsessed with playing COD I never see him with his dad playing a games together. To me I just think that there are boundaries on online in games, not every game needs it. and if Nintendo really didn't care about online in Nintendo Land we would never have gotten the Miiverse integration and having the whole land filled with other players talking about their experience. But that's just how I see it Sorry for going on a rant

Because of the Miiverse I love this game even more! I mean now I think just how much more fun games like Mario Kart and Smash Bros are going to be with the Miiverse

It miles better than trying to find it in a scattered empty world with water. But I still agree, but as long as Nintendo keep improving. You never know we might get the triforce shards in dedicated temples soon! That's never been done befo...oh wait.

Like Grazza said...Looks like it could be the best 3DS game so far!

More screenies

Only time I really pay more attention to the music is if I am dulled out by the game itself, hence why I know the Wind Waker music so well.

You sure about that? In Australia they all look the same plus everyone here has two jobs, just because we are bored and having nothing else to do. :/

N-europe has a chat board?

Pfft, once again Nintendo have shown just how behind they are with gaming, can someone give me a valid reason as to why I should give Nintendo another chance with this new content? Oh it's free, so what!? I have to waste my meaningless virgin life for it to download when it should have been here day 1! If anything Nintendo should be giving us money for every time we download any content of this game to say sorry they didn't add it from day 1 when I bought this half assed effort of a game!

I wasn't a big fan of Tekken 6 truth be told, I felt like it was still pretty slow, and to me a fighting game has to have a good speed (Not super fast) a good flow with fighting. I really think Tekken Tag 2 has got it right, it's a blast to play and trying to get all accessories is going to help you play it for a long time. I bought the PS3 version but have now sold it for the WiiU version, so if anyone is gonna get this game let me know and hope we can play a couple of games online!

God dammit don't bring logic in this thread Tamazoid!

This is why I am enjoying the articles from Not Enough Shaders, seeing more dedication to indies and seeing them enjoy bringing their games onto the WiiU is fantastic to see, considering that now Nintendo are in HD now, it's going to take a bit of time to bring out their games, with indie games it could be Nintendo's trump card when it comes to those gaps between Nintendo games.

You must get Tekken Tag, it's such a wonderful fighting game and I wish more people who are getting a WiiU would get it, from the talk of it, it's one of the better ports, would be a shame to see this fail

Sony does it daily when it comes to them talking about Vita sales. *shrugs*

Jesus, I forgot that this game is coming out in Japan soon, if only the 3DS got the love over here like Japan gets...I mean they got Animal Crossing this month and now this very soon, they are getting Dragon Quest VII in Feb and then a month later Monster Hunter 4. We could only ever dream of getting excellent content like that over here so frequently

It's sad to see no one wanting Tekken Tag 2 though, game looks really fun + it looks like it's one of the few that looks good on the WiiU 3rd party wise.

New Super Mario Bros U Nintendo Land Tekken Zombie U All 4 should keep me going until March

Don't worry though, Square have their priority straight, bringing over Dragon Quest X must be hard for them so they are making sure we get FFXIV reborn first to kill that time!

FUCK! MARCH!? WHY MARCH!? Y NO JANUARY!? http://www.capcom-unity.com/monster_hunter/blog/2012/11/19/monster-hunter-3-ultimate-wii-u-screens-satisfy-your-hd-cravings ;_;

ew to green, and wtf no ebook? with no 1080p!? Nintendo still stuck in the 90's still. *Cancels pre-order*

I really can't wait for this game, it just looks fun, that hard challenging fun that is so rare now these days!

Considering how overweight they are, it might be impossible to find where their asses are.

Outside of the music, everything about DK64 just felt more fun, I don't know, just the feel of finally exploring Donkey Kongs island perhaps makes me like it more than the the trilogy.

Say speaking of Donkey Kong, I have not seen Darksnowman for some time, what happened to him? He just suddenly vanished 0_o
