Posted September 11, 2012 Here's few more details from Game Informer. - there will be single player only games- Donkey Kong and Balloon Fight attractions feature single player - these two games also support off-TV play - random "games" or activities that you can play outside of the big theme parks Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted September 11, 2012 (edited) And the internet is complaining...saying it looks like a $0.99 iOS game -_- Thankfully they've been largely proven to know jack shit about Nintendo's (and the rest of the industry's) fate. By and large as a collective, they also can't see game design for what it is if it came up to them and slapped them in the face (see all those who think that all 2D platformers should be cheap download titles, or those who think that the NSMB games do nothing new or innovative while wanking over the latest Mass Effect or Uncharted/Last of Us/Uncharted Clone) Best thing to do is take it with a good laugh, I always find their pissant and two faced comments to be quite funny actually - random "games" or activities that you can play outside of the big theme parks Excellent! I was hoping they'd do this. That hub looked far too good to be wasted on being a simple game selection screen! Really looking forward to seeing what they do with it!

You complain about people dismissing NSMB for not being innovative, yet mention three pretty unique franchises which haven't been cloned yet. While the new Star Trek game looks like it's influenced by Mass Effect, and the same can be said for Tomb Raider and Star Wars 1313 in relation to Uncharted, they still look pretty different, too. And The Last of Us is very different to Uncharted. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

P.S don't take my comment at face value, it's purposely flippant for S&Gs sake (I know that they're not all exactly the same) and we're veering off topic anyway.

Posted September 11, 2012 As someone who was in love with Balloon Fight on the NES when it was released, I can't wait for Balloon Trip, looks great! Although could have done with more retro sound-effects. Nintendo Land is looking fantastic, I would happily pay for it Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted September 13, 2012 Naturally I could be biast and say Metroid Blast is the best looking game, but in fairness I really like the look of Balloon Flight The whole package looks like a very fun experience, i'm so pleased Nintendo are going to bundle it with the system.

Posted September 14, 2012 Just found out after pre-ordering the Premium ZombiU Wii U SKU, that Nintendo of Europe have confirmed that the aforementioned bundle does NOT include NintendoLand. My source is the ONM website. Gutted, cancelling my order to rethink this through. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted September 14, 2012 Let's face it, we all want to dress our Miis up in a Power Suit!! Personally, I don't want to see a Mii in any game ever again, except for perhaps a secondary option, like in Mario Kart 7. Grumpyness aside, Metroid Blast looks like it could turn out to be at least a bit of fun. Unlike anything in Wii Play or Wii Sports, this feels like a proper game. I hope that if you'll have an ME3 save file or something, you'll be able to put your Mii in an N7 uniform :awesome: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted September 14, 2012 I'm still a bit gutted that this isn't online. I don't have the luxury of playing locally with mates so i'm gonna miss out on a lot of multiplayer fun with this. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted September 14, 2012 Do you think the Varia Suit will be in it? The thought of putting my Mii in a Varia Suit with an Ice Beam is exciting me to a worrying degree! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted September 14, 2012 (edited) Let's face it, we all want to dress our Miis up in a Power Suit!! Haha! Well i've already done that in Animal Crossing: Let's go to the city, but with the Varia Suit! On a related note, our website put together a preview on Metroid Blast with everything we know so far. We're still adding to it, but feel free to check it out! http://www.shinesparkers.net/metroid-blast-preview Edited September 14, 2012 by Darren Saw an opportunity to promote the site, did so, FEELING GOOD BRO Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
