tapedeck Posted May 12, 2014 Share Posted May 12, 2014 So.... Scram Kitty this week. Who's gettin' it? I very much like the look (and sound :awesome:) of this one, but not sure if I'll be getting it right away. Still really into Pocket Football Club and Mario Golf at the moment, and now that my backlog is under control I don't want to get back to that bad habit of buying new games before fully finishing my latest purchases. Yep. Too many good games on the go at the moment... Pocket Footy is now top of my 3DS played list. Insane amount of time spent on that. Still playing the insanely deep ACIV on WiiU too. Too much goodness and MK8 incoming. :-0 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Goron_3 Posted May 12, 2014 Share Posted May 12, 2014 I've got a review code for it but alas, my exams aren't over until the 30th Looking forward to some real indie action though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dcubed Posted May 12, 2014 Share Posted May 12, 2014 Hehehe! You gonna be playing it though, or are you still on your wait until everything is out thingy? Less than 3 weeks to go until Xmas In Summer for me This'll fit in nicely alongside MK8, DKCTF and the rest Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Goron_3 Posted May 12, 2014 Share Posted May 12, 2014 Wow! Have you beaten the game, does it even have an end/credits? Nice. Who do you review for? It's for my University students magazine (http://www.impactnottingham.com/). The gaming section to the site is pretty new and has quite a small readership (I think last year we hit 27,000 unique visitors) but it's good enough to get indie games. Although getting E3 tickets is a dream that will never happen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dazzybee Posted May 12, 2014 Share Posted May 12, 2014 Yeah I have a review code for it too... Though I'm going to cannes tomorrow so the review will be hard to do... Might pass it on... Or just play it all day and night today... can't wait. Looks amazing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Although getting E3 tickets is a dream that will never happen Wow! Well done! Would never have expected a uni mag to ever get so big! (Certainly not big enough to actually get review copies ) Hell if you've gotten this far I wouldn't say that E3 is an impossibility. Tie it into your uni's game dev courses (assuming your uni has one) and you never know... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Londragon Posted May 12, 2014 Share Posted May 12, 2014 So.... Scram Kitty this week. Who's gettin' it? Definitely for me, day 1. Been waiting for a nice shooter to come along, after Nano Assault Neo. It's been a long wait. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tie it into your uni's game dev courses (assuming your uni has one) and you never know... Yeah it's weird, we get a LOT of readers. We always win the national student journalism awards and we get many students into jobs in the industry so I guess we're one of the lucky few. I wrote a Formula 1 article once and I had guys from Mexico commenting on it...! We did actually try for E3 last year and edited various Wiki pages to show how seriously our reviews are taken, but alas it didn't work. I'd try again next year but it's doubtful given how expensive flights are. I mean, do N-E get E3 passes?! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tapedeck Posted May 12, 2014 Share Posted May 12, 2014 (edited) Wow! Have you beaten the game, does it even have an end/credits? I'm still in the championship hah. I've been taking my sweet time with it and my nephew has it so loads of competitive play. Not sure on end credits yet. I need to start looking at more eShop games. The fridge is full with DKC being a culprit with 11gb and Sanic Transformers racing being 4gb. Edited May 27, 2014 by tapedeck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hero-of-Time Posted May 13, 2014 Share Posted May 13, 2014 After the original version established itself among the top-tier of WiiWare games, Wii U owners may be pleased to hear that Swords & Soldiers HD is due very soon — it'll arrive on the eShop in North America and Europe on 22nd May at a budget price of $2.99 / €2.99 / £2.69. Bargain! I loved the original on the Wii and will probably pick the HD version up for that bargain basement price. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dcubed Posted May 13, 2014 Share Posted May 13, 2014 Bargain! I loved the original on the Wii and will probably pick the HD version up for that bargain basement price. I've never actually played this one (it was always one I had meant to pick up on Wii Ware and never actually got round to doing it), so you can bet that I'm gonna jump on that faster than a Viking on a banana hoard!

khilafah Posted May 14, 2014 Share Posted May 14, 2014 Just read that scram kitty forces off tv play. Won't be buying that game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
S.C.G Posted May 14, 2014 Share Posted May 14, 2014 Just read that scram kitty forces off tv play. Won't be buying that game. As in you can only play the game on the game-pad and not on the TV screen? Or are we talking Wonderful 101 style where it has sections of the game which move to the game-pad? If you can only play on the game-pad then I find that a very odd decision indeed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or are we talking Wonderful 101 style where it has sections of the game which move to the game-pad? If you can only play on the game-pad then I find that a very odd decision indeed. It's designed to be played on the Gamepad, with the player occasionally glancing at the TV for guidance (or for onlookers to shout out to the player about stuff that only shows up on the TV, co-op style) Of course you CAN just play it on the TV, but the onscreen HUD stuff (text boxes, icons, character portraits etc) seemingly tends to be obtrusive since it's not designed to be played that way...

Hero-of-Time Posted May 14, 2014 Share Posted May 14, 2014 Not true. All lies. You can switch screens by pressing the - button Yeah, but by all accounts, it has really been made with the GamePad being in mind as the main controller option. Still looks great though.

dazzybee Posted May 14, 2014 Share Posted May 14, 2014 Yeah, but by all accounts, it has really been made with the GamePad being in mind as the main controller option. Still looks great though. Maybe, but it literally swaps the screens around, so that maybe their idea (the fact it auto sets to gamepad shows this), but you can swap over if you want. No problem. Thought both screens show the game playing, just one screen has the cat commenting and maybe showing you were stuff is.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Londragon Posted May 28, 2014 Share Posted May 28, 2014 Oooh Origins... at £12:49! But is it as good (if not slightly worse than City?) Most reviewers said Origins is slightly worse than City due to the lack of Gamepad specifics, which made City Awesome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
