Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (August 18th)

GracefulGazelle

Probably just Splatoon 2, Xenoblade Chronicles 2, and Okami HD for me. This is the first time I have ever played Okami and I have to say that I absolutely love it. The visual style is endearing and I love the combat system. I sat down and played a little bit of the Monster Hunter Demo last night and thought it was fantastic so Know I have to keep myself from buying it. Too many good games not enough money. Thank Goodness Okami HD was only $20.

Re: Nintendo Changes Requirements For Its Controversial YouTube Creators Program

GracefulGazelle

@Frank-The-Tank This idea of not allowing youtubers full use comes from Nintendo of Japan. In the U.S. we have fair use in law so people making video's about games makes sense, however Japan has no legal concept of fair use which makes it more complicated. Essentially I am saying that Nintendo of America's hands are tied by Nintendo of Japan. It is a surprisingly complex issue and I think it is pretty stupid too.

Re: Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze And Hyrule Warriors Are Coming To Switch

@HerroThar This is definitely not what ever Retro was working on because it does not take 4 years to do a port of game that has very little upscaling or editing necessary. Even adding Funky would not have been a ton of work. They may have just relegated a small team to this like 5-10 guys or it might have been sent to one of Nintendo's other subsidiary's. My guess is that we are going to get Retro's Game at E3 cause that will be something different.

Re: Blatant Splatoon Mobile Rip-Off Has Resurfaced in China

GracefulGazelle

@RGnsd I agree entirely however China is still a non-democratic system where popular influence is often weak at best. I think copyright law is much more likely to change from economic pressure from major corporations than from the people anyways. Sad but true, and too close to way to many democracies.

Re: Blatant Splatoon Mobile Rip-Off Has Resurfaced in China

@Octane The reason that they do not care about copyright is because copyright law for all intensive purposes is non-existent in China. This stems from the fact that all law and China is setup to keep the People's Party in control with as little opposition and influence from the west as possible. It therefore plays to there advantage to have no copyright law and not respect copyright law from foreign countries at all. It helps the government there create a business atmosphere where Chinese companies have an advantage and it allows the government to make it seem to a less informed people that all these great ideas for games or products originated in China. Sorry for the run on. Political Science and East Asian Studies Double Major, so this is a big area of interest for me.

Re: Summer Games Done Quick Raises an Extraordinary Total for Doctors Without Borders

GracefulGazelle

@HappyMaskedGuy Doctors Without Borders is a major charitable organization that provides medical care free of charge to people in third world countries, war zones, and the aftermath of Natural Disasters. They are often time the only medical care many of these people will ever get. Almost all the doctors volunteer to travel and funds donated would most likely go to operating expenses and paying for needed medicines. They are a wonderful organization.

Re: Poll: Which Nintendo NX Games Do You Want to See in the Launch Window?

GracefulGazelle

I would get hype for a new IP. But Pikmin 4, Breath of the Wild and Mario Kart, plus a nice surprise we aren't expecting would keep me hype for the next 15 months. I also don't expect a big new 3d Mario until minimum Holiday 2017. I also want a new Sin and Punishment, even though I highly doubt it ever happens. Tbh I just want the official announcement already so we can really see the NX and get a complete blowout of trailers for new games. If they announce a lot of games and have third party and indie support a sizzle reel would be super hype.

Re: Poll: The Nintendo NX - Where Do You Stand on the Future of Nintendo?

GracefulGazelle

@Superzone13 In regards to what you said about a game drought. If the NX really is both a portable and home console in one it should get games that would have gone to both the portable and home console in the past. For example instead of 8 major games for each console each year, it could be 16 major releases for one console. Therefore a game drought would be less likely.

Re: Review: Mario & Sonic at the Rio 2016 Olympic Games (Wii U)

GracefulGazelle

Still probably better than actually being in Rio for the Olympics with all the problems down there. Unfinished stadiums, sewage in the water, people in the slums who aren't getting any help while hundreds of millions go to building outrageous stadiums, and Zika. Maybe they should use this game for the actual competition it would probably be safer and more fun.

Re: Talking Point: Nintendo Turns to Classics, DLC and amiibo to Keep Fans Hooked

GracefulGazelle

I thought that the direct was really good. I went in expecting nothing and came out pleasantly surprised. I think the only thing that really disappointed me was that Xenoblade Chronicles X did not make an appearance, but that was made up for with the showing off of SMTxFE, FE If, Smash ballot, and 200cc. I thought it was one of the better directs that we have gotten. I would rank it as the 5th best direct we have had.
ND Top 5 in my opinion
5.April 2015
4.E3 2013
3.December 2013
2.Janaury 2013
1.E3 2014( It was a slightly different format but the deluxe digital presentation was just a really high budget ND)

Well, happy Holy Week and Easter to my fellow Catholics and Christians; and a happy week and weekend to my atheist, Jewish, Muslim, Hindu, Shinto, Buddhist, and any other faith friends.
