Posted April 18, 2014 NES remix is so so good. Can you not remember Zelda 4 swords? Pacman vs? Mario paint? The 64dd and talent maker? Even wario ware? Mario party? I don't get your point. None of those were as lazy as NES Remix. Don't know about Pac-man vs., maybe Warioware alright. I think also a problem I have with NES Remix is the graphics. They alright back in the day but now they look absolutely fugly. They haven't aged well like the N64. SNES graphics are perfectly fine. If there was a SNES Remix, maybe but it's still lazy. It's a cheap cash grab. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If there was a SNES Remix, maybe but it's still lazy. It's a cheap cash grab. So we should totally ignore NES games because the graphics are "bad"? NES Remix is a great nostalgia trip, mixed up to be great fun. Graphics are irrelevant. It doesn't have to be I guess. If people like them, so be it. They're not for me. Nintendo have changed, I don't remember any of that mickey mouse crap back on the Gamecube. It all started with Wii Sports. I've explained it before but in summary Wii Sports was an experiment and the money rolled in. Little effort, tonnes of cash and they kept going with titles like Wii Play right up to Nintendo Land and NES remix. It's a great business model, greatest return for the tiniest of effort. But as a gamer I think they stink and I'm not buying them anymore. I have games like Wii Sports/Resort and Nintendo Land but that's only because they came with the consoles and motionplus. Yeah, it's not like the Gamecube had stuff like Mario Party, among other things akin to it. Also Shall I go on?

I said they're not for me. Maybe for you graphics are irrelevant and for the most part they are for me too. But as I said NES and N64 are ugly. I don't think I could go back and play some of the 3D games on N64. Yeah, it's not like the Gamecube had stuff like Mario Party, among other things akin to it. Also Shall I go on? No thanks. Again what's your point? Are any of these games lazy cash grabs like NES Remix? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted April 18, 2014 I don't even care if NES Remix II is 'lazy' at least it's a 'new' game to play and it's actually fun/challenging/nostalgic and brilliant in its own small way. Expect a full review soon. : peace: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted April 19, 2014 Wario Ware on the Gamecube was absolutely amazing...my favourite party game after Smash Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted April 19, 2014 Wario Ware on the Gamecube was absolutely amazing...my favourite party game after Smash The thing is, it could absolutely be classed as lazy. That's why I used it to counter the statement. It was an enhanced port of the GBA game with some added on multiplayer released just mere months after the GBA game. Was still amazing.

Posted April 19, 2014 I'm really excited about E3. The lack of the bi-monthly Nintendo Direct this month (as evidenced by the announcement of Mario Kart stuff, Smash Direct, Tomodachi Direct etc.) seems to me that they are holding off their game announcements, which usually bookend these Directs, for E3. I also recently did a check of Nintendo's studios and their projects and found that so many have been incredibly quiet for over a year, and these are studios that are fully capable of doing more than one project at once, too. I truly believe we'll have big first party stuff coming, not to mention third party stuff in the manner of Sonic Lost World, Hyrule Warriors etc. People throw digs at my site???? Yeah we should have a proper Nintendo Direct this month is this a good thing or bad that we haven't had one yet Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted April 19, 2014 Yeah we should have a proper Nintendo Direct this month is this a good thing or bad that we haven't had one yet Well we've had a load of info and trailers revealed this month for things that would have been in a Direct. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It was an enhanced port of the GBA game with some added on multiplayer released just mere months after the GBA game. Was still amazing. True, but the added multiplayer (THE TURTLE GAME OMG) and the budget price release (I saw it for £15 at launch!) made it a great bargain. So much content. I remember house parties with @Zell and his brothers where we'd play that turtle game for hours :') Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted April 20, 2014 Oh man, that multiplayer in WarioWare was insane fun. I have fond memories of the turtle game. And some of the 4-player minigames they threw in were really fun, I loved running away from the creepy rabbit. But yeah, despite being 'lazy' I still had loads of fun out of it, and as many have said, it was released as a budget game... just like NES Remix. So what if NES Remix is lazy, people like it, it can't really be that much of a burden on Nintendo's staff, it's not like it's a replacement for the next HD Metroid, and it gives us another game to play in this everlasting Wii U drought. They need more games like this. HD remakes, remixes, stuff that is great fun to play but easy to develop, so we have something to play before the big hitters. Heck, Pilotwings on 3DS was 'lazy' but still one of my favourite games on the system. Give me more filthy cheap shit. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

This is what has happened to the industry. Everything has shifted to expect these massive changes constantly and less focus is allowed on a game just being fun for the sake of fun Plus, NES Remix 1 & 2 are developed by indiezero, not Nintendo (though it is supervised by EAD), so it takes no resources.

The thing is, people keep implying it's one or the other, when it's not. NES Remix II takes the spirit of Nintendo, combines it with Wario Ware and provides a fun and challenging experience which fills a small part of the huge gap in the release schedule for a reasonable price plus it even includes a Championship mode which not only harks back to the golden age of competitive Nintendo gaming but it also uses all of the content from the previous game. I don't see what's not to like about it? : peace: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
