Re: Rayman Trophy Revealed For Super Smash Bros. On Wii U And 3DS

SubBronze

I think this is just announcing third-party characters being in the game not just as playable, but as lesser roles as well like collectables and even assist trophies. Why would Sakurai ruin the surprise so close to the reveal?

While I do think Rayman would make a good moveset and be fun to play as if he were in the game, I don't think he is really eligible to be playable. Other than the plans for Legends to be a Wii U exclusive (which fell through), Rayman has always been a series released on just about everything possible. I would even argue that he would fit better in Playstation All Stars than Smash. Maybe he was planned to be playable before Legends was delayed, so that's why he has a trophy, and possibly an assist trophy.

But could be completely wrong, guess we'll find out the newcomer in just under 6 hours!

Dang, missed out being in the top 10 by only 4 points! If only I got a place higher in a couple of races... I haven't played in just under a week so I was a little bit rusty. Oh well, it was a lot of fun and I can't wait for the next one!

@randomous Yeah, I think I did see you a few times along with Tank_OG. Congrats on winning! I think I would of done slighty better if @Squashy didn't show up, I always focus too much on beating him that my overall racing suffers, just nerves I guess since I know him in real life.

Huh, I thought the Wii U version of How to Survive was cancelled since the other versions came out months ago and we've heard nothing about the Wii U version for ages. I don't even remember seeing the Wii U logo on the official website last time I was there. Might get it then depending on NL's review.

Re: Pokémon Omega Ruby & Pokémon Alpha Sapphire Confirmed For Worldwide 3DS Launch in November

Sounds like its not a straight remake of Ruby and Sapphire, maybe they'll redesign the Hoenn region to not have so much surfing which will be greatly appreciated. Bit unusual that we basically know nothing at the moment, since main series Pokemon games have a big first reveal most of the time, guess we'll have to wait until E3. (Maybe they just threw this trailer together to try and draw attention away to the poor financial annoucements)

I'll be pre-ordering Omega Ruby as soon as the Amazon page for it comes up.

Re: Mario Kart Month: Mario Kart 8 Character Profiles: Mo' Babies, Mo' Problems

SubBronze

Other than Baby Mario, Baby Luigi, and maybe Baby Peach, every single Baby character is a complete waste of a spot. Same goes for the Metal characters.

Seriously, all the work they had to do to put Metal Mario and Pink Gold Peach into the game is put a metallic skin over the model, change the character's stats and then distort their voices slightly. Terribly lazy.

Re: Review: Kirby: Triple Deluxe (3DS)

SubBronze

I do want this game, but not for the £30. But the problem with leaving it to buy later is that Kirby games normally go up in price after a few months. KIrby's Adventure Wii/Return to Dream Land is now over £50 new and £40 used on Amazon, and if I leave Triple Deluxe till later who knows how much it will go up buy...

Re: Nintendo Shows Off Its Mario Golf: World Tour DLC Courses and Characters

Day One DLC is always a bit worrying if you ask me, no matter who it comes from. If I do get this game, I'd rather spend my money on another game than DLC.

I was letting this game slip under my radar, but now after seeing these screeenshots and how the game looks overall I'm far more interested. Too bad I need to save up my money so I can Mario Kart 8 on release day.

Re: Nintendo Download: 24th April (Europe)

Nothing for me. I want to get the first NES Remix before I get the second (both are a little pricey to be honest), and as much as I love Yoshi's Island I can't justify buying it when I already have the Ambassador version.

Re: Talking Point: What Games Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue Twenty Two

SubBronze

This week I beat Infamous 2 in Hero mode, so I might start my Evil playthrough this week on the road to Platinum-ing it. Donkey Kong Tropical Freeze is also on my list, but trying to beat 2-K yesterday for an hour with no success has decreased my morale for it. I also really hope I finally get around to playing Persona 4 Golden this weekend, after a sinfully long time not playing it. DMC: Devil May Cry which I got on PS+ a while back is also a possibilty.
