Dcubed

Maybe @RedShell is too busy waiting with baited breath for the next highlight video to come out to post the theme? Not too much longer to go now BTW, last week's vid is coming along quite nicely indeed Whatever this week's theme is though, I'll actually be IN! for this one! (Yeah, I've got tomorrow off, so I'm breaking the usual on/off pattern this week )

Oh my days! They have a literal googly eyes enemy Looks blooming' brilliant!

One thing that's really interesting about DKC3 that often goes overlooked is how almost each level is designed around an entierly unique gameplay gimmick that gets thrown away immediately after the level is done. Yeah, each level in a DKC (or Nintendo game in general for that matter) always introduces at least one new mechanic in each level and yes you had "gimmick" stages in previous DKC games like Castle Crush (DKC2) and Blackout Basement (DKC1), but in DKC 3? Basically every level is a gimmick level! There's a ridiculous amount of mechanics in DKC3's levels that only get used the once. Be it lighting strikes, low gravity, speed run racing, double sided tobbagan tubes, evil Superscope cursors taking potshots at you, or fish that need constant feeding, less they snack on you... It's actually a lot like Mario Galaxy in that regard! Very unique for its time. In many respects, it actually laid the groundwork for Nintendo's more modern platformers.

YOOOMTAAA!!!! The Miiverse caption potential!!! It's nuts!! We'll never end up finishing it on Wii U because of it

It's a shame that SEGA went backwards with this one being digital only, but I suppose we're lucky to be getting it at all. Don't have a PS4, so I'll have to pick up the Vita version this time. TBH, I'd be much more interested in Future Tone if that was coming over here. It's insane! It pretty much renders every other Miku game redundant! It would pretty much guarantee I would buy a PS4 (though a cheeky Steam release of that one wouldn't go amiss SEGA... )

Good stuff! Been waiting on the Wii U version for a long time now!

It's absolutely maddening! The lightsabre Wii game we all wanted, the one that literally every single Wii owner screamed out for, the guaranteed million seller that was literally amongst the very first ideas that sprung to mind when thinking about what could be made for the Revolution. The most ridiculous example of an obvious idea that Lucasarts refused to make... and it was sitting there the whole time (and still is!) God it looks so good... It's pretty much the dream Star Wars Wii game. They could release it right bloody now on the eShop still and all Dark Squadron sounds like a cool idea as well, there aren't many SW games that play from the imperials' perspective.

Origins actually was really great. Wish they'd do the same thing for the other games. I'd love to see Gen 5 in particular get the Origins treatment! (Though ideally more than a mere 4 episodes...)

November 4th! Physical release!

Last week's video is up! This speedy, not so speedy and slightly wonky highlight video was brought to you courtesy of @RedShell : peace:

Yeah, probably for the best I reckon. That sounds about right. Not that I'm biased or anything... but tonight was good fun!

Err... I think I lowballed it with a 1.5x multiplier for Battle Mode (probably should've made it x2) Battle Mode was good fun! Mount Wario in 200cc is mental as well! Surprisingly smooth sailing as well! No disconnections, little lag, good stuff! Some good choice moments throughout that will certainly be captured for posterity! Fun night all round I reckon! : peace:

Aye. That was the classic Hyper Beam sound, so Hyper Beam it is.

I approve of Jet Set Radio style music in Pokemon massively!

So Team Skull are a gang of wannabe rappers? I'm ok with this!

MOAR LEAKS! http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showthread.php?t=1261095 Spoilers for August 12th. Duh :p

Man! Sony's (PS4.5 unveil) and Apple's (iPhone 7) unveiling events are due to happen on the same day!? (September 7th) Nintendo's getting bodied from both sides here! They've only got 10 days from then until TGS to announce the thing! Building up hype during that period is gonna be a tough call...

I hope we get the upgraded version of Puyo Puyo Tsu with this! We deserve it for waiting so long!

So... Pokevision is a front for Team Plasma? No wonder Niantic wanted them shut down!

I don't think anyone guessed it would be ghost type though! (nice callback to the dead Marowak from Gen 1 as well with that)

Don't think it has been posted yet, but I've been playing it myself and it's shockingly good! Ridiculously polished and lovingly crafted! They replicated the Zero Mission physics nigh on perfectly (and have added a neat little parkour esc move for good measure) and there are some really nice little surprises that go beyond the original Metroid 2 (think the sub bosses from Metroid Zero Mission and you're on the right lines). It does indeed feel like Metroid 2 being given the MZM treatment! (Though the level design doesn't stray as far as MZM did from Metroid 1). It's pretty fantastic! Highly recommended! It was made in Game Maker (shocking I know!) so you don't need to do any dodgy stuff to play it either. No ROM hacking involved. Just download and play

Nada, zilch, nothing. Ahh well. At least it's back up and everything's as it should be. You're all welcome for the theme! Naturally I'm gonna be IN! for this one

Hey guys. Just in case you haven't noticed... We won! It's back! Youtube put it back up without any changes!

I can do that, but I think it might actually not be a music copyright issue... The music is flagged up as copyrighted, but it doesn't say there's a viewing restriction as a result of it. I've messaged Google/Youtube regarding the issue, so lets wait and see what they say. (I have a feeling that it might have been my description that was the issue - I think it might have been flagged as spam because of the underwater sounding text I was using in the description ). Problem here is that I actually have no idea what specifically caused it to be taken down, it just says "Inappropriate Content" and that's it! What part is inappropriate? Some context would help here! If they message me back and say that it's because of the music though, I can always sort it myself.

I dunno who Kaepira_Gaebora is, but @Kaepora_Gaebora is more than welcome to join us
