Posted June 21, 2016 (edited) Amiibo support announced. Interesting that this didn't show up at E3. I guess Nintendo figure that the game is a lost cause and it would have just received backlash anyway. A 10 minute Japanese trailer/showcase was also released.

Posted June 21, 2016 So they basically took that fan mockup someone did for Xenoblade Chronicles X and applied it to this? That's pretty cool. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted June 21, 2016 Looks Blast Balls!? Well, that was the joke I was making (I have nothing against the game) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted June 22, 2016 First shot of the Pokemon Amiibo costume! Has the picture been changed or am I just completely blind? I cannot see ANY resemblance to a Pokémon (that has an amiibo) in that shot... and certainly not Pikachu's cheeks! Or do I just not get the joke? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Or do I just not get the joke? The joke is, no Pokémon amiibo support! It's probably just as well though, the Samus amiibo figures are the only ones which would really fit in with the tone of the game anyway... Captain Falcon could work, Mega Man and possibly R.O.B those are the ones I wouldn't mind seeing but I'm happy with just Samus. : peace: This game looks like it's shaping up pretty well, like a multiplayer co-op version of Metroid Prime Hunters except with more scope in the campaign mode, my only gripe is that I would have liked there to have been a multiplayer deathmatch mode as well being that we won't be getting that with the Wii U VC version of MPH when that comes out; it was actually pretty fun in a strange way... but then, it wouldn't work in exactly the same way so probably best this sticks to co-op and Blast Ball I suppose.

Or do I just not get the joke? It's a running joke with Amiibo support. Generally, whenever a Nintendo game supports Amiibo from multiple series, Pokemon is almost always completely useless. It started with Mario Kart 8, when the obvious Pikachu Mii costume was nowhere to be seen. But it really hit it's stride when Yoshi's Woolly World came out and it was revealed that it would support every Amiibo that was out at the time. Except the Pokemon ones. Much to everyone's amusement. It really says a lot that Mario Maker supporting them was genuinely amazing. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted June 22, 2016 Well, I was waiting for a valid reason to buy Samus as my first amiibo. The game looks great fun and it can justify me buying Samus! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted June 23, 2016 Have they explained why they didn't show it at E3 AT ALL? I guess they just bottled it ands didn't want any negative press at the event, probably given up trying to convince people. Either way it's a little concerning. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted August 19, 2016 The reviews for the game are out and it's a very mixed bag. Some are dishing out high scores, while most others are giving it a score of 5-7. What is surprising the IGN review. They gave it a 5.9 and the reviewer was Jose Otero. He has been championing the game for a while, so it's quite a shock to see that the game has fallen flat on its face for him. His closing comments were... Due to a painfully imbalanced single-player experience co-op with friends is really the only viable way to play it, and even then it’s not really recommended.

Posted August 27, 2016 I've been playing this since Monday and have to agree with the N-E review - a solid game that's really worth playing. I had very low expectations but I was proved wrong and am having a blast with it! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted September 1, 2016 I put some time into this yesterday and have mixed feelings about the game. I done a couple of missions in single player mode. These were quite boring and the pace seemed quite slow. This may have just been because it was the first two missions, though. I then jumped online and played with another 3 people. This seemed to be a much better experience but it still had its issues. It suffers from exactly the same thing as Triforce heroes did and that's the lack of communication. Like Triforce Heroes, this isn't a competitive style game but one where you need to work as a team to get things done. There were a couple of times where I wanted to tell something to my team mates and the options you are given just don't cut it. This lead to some very frustrating experiences. Speaking of frustration, twice last night I ended up playing with people who just sat there at various points of the mission, while the rest of us done everything. We kept getting to points where the team needed all 4 players to move on and we had to wait up to 5 mins for these people to finally come back. Not being able to tell people what you're doing, where you are going or how long you will be is ridiculous. An option to kick someone from the game would have been ideal but instead the rest of the team are forced to either sit and wait for who knows how long or leave the game yourself. This is even more punishing due to the fact that you get bonuses for finishing a level in a set time. Not once did I achieve this due to morons just standing in the one spot and holding the rest of us back. Its stuff like this that annoys a lot of us on here, especially those who do online gaming quite a lot. We expect a standard to be met but time and time again such basic features and options prevent us from having enjoyable experiences. I would love to meet the people who make these decisions and ask them why the hell they continue to prevent people from communicating in a meaningful way or see if they actually have any experience playing online games on other consoles. It's infuriating. On the plus side, the game does look lovely, though. The chibi art style works well and, like most 3DS games, the visuals look much better on the 3DS screen than they do when being advertised on the internet/TV.

I got word of this early in the week, cancelled my order and then ordered from Simply Games. So it;s just with them? Amazon have 8th for shipping so I presume they have the same problem. Might just wait, busy anyway. Who else is getting this? Can we get 4 of us together to play through it?! I know @david\.dakota is getting it? @Hero\-of\-Time can you slow down with it and play it with us Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
