Why call the next installment of a franchise on their latest console a “treatment?”

Lightning Mr Bubbles2422d ago

True, I'd say a good portion of these are pretty much guaranteed to happen. Luigi's Manson I'm not so sure about. Donkey Kong possibly, but DK Country series was like way back in the SNES Days, I loved it but I haven't played a good DK game since then. That's a long time ago. Excite and Super Princess Peach or whatever are pretty doubtful I think.

Smokingunz2422d ago

Donkey kong country was on the 3ds and the wii u genius smh. Also luigis mansion 3 was announced for the switch before it even came out. U are so out of tune dude its not even funny

Lightning Mr Bubbles2422d ago (Edited 2422d ago )

@Smokingunz

You're right about Donkey Kong Country, There's DK Country Returns for Wii/3DS and Tropical Freeze for WiiU/3DS. I wasn't into Nintendo at all during the whole Wii era, so I didn't realize the series had such current installments.

Either way, they don't look nearly as good as the ones for SNES. The SNES Donkey Kong Country games had amazing realistic graphics for that time. These new installments look like C level games. They should really step it up and give Donkey Kong Country AAA level treatment for the Switch if they want to revive it.

Lightning Mr Bubbles: trust me, Tropical Freeze (which is available only on Wii U, not 3DS, btw) has a superb art direction. It looks fantastic.

F-zero. None of these clones like fast RMX are gunna cut it for me.

Moonman2422d ago

I agree, the clones lack personality. A sequel to F-Zero GX equipped with another story mode would be awesome. Captain Falcon needs more story. And he with the series, could become more popular if Nintendo allows it.

EddieNX 2422d ago

GX was the last futuristic racer I really cared about and the it was perfect! It had the charm, the cut scenes, the customization and quality you expect.

Fast RMX is good but that's about it. It isn't epic F-zero level at all!

I dont see f zero coming back, the last game was terrible. Nintendo handed thr developemnt to seag and thry screwed it up. The last good f zero gsme i played was on the n64, the gsmecube version was garbage. If nintendo do it thrmselves mabye.

I love Super Mario Maker. The next game needs even more customization. Every single item, enemy, boss and level backgrounds need to show up. But Mario 64 Maker is the dream. Lol

Just make a goddamn pokemon game

Rolling the Dice: Do Modern RPGs Miss the Point of Team-Based Play?

It seems it was long time ago. A bunch of friends spending hours on end playing RPG games, sitting around the table with the box of cold pizza. Excited about the story, listening to the Game Master, they were completely engaged in the worlds only visible to them and their imaginations.

The GM is the programmer, and in MMOs and co-ops, you can play with others. If you want to ONLY use your imagination for the visuals, read a book.

1) Hope they put it on disc this time.
2) Hope this is a positive for Neptune coming over as well.

Demons Souls5122d ago

If so, that's being developed & published by Idea Factory. Compile Heart has nothing to do with it (Thank God for that).

Godmars2905122d ago (Edited 5122d ago )

Thought Compile Heart was one of the companies lending characters.

Was also speaking in general as in regards to a US of Neptune. If these guys are offing a second game, NIS or Atlus, both of whom offer quirkier titles, will put that one out.

@kagon01:
My issue isn't - wholly - with the DL-only option, but the price. The first game should be $30. Maybe $40, and by that I mean $39.99. The only reason its $45 is the 360 disc version which has extras. Nevermind that by all rights its a PS2 game. Something that proabbly could have been done if the devs had the GOW2 engine or tools.

ClownBelt5122d ago

I approve of this god damn message.

Could have gotten my 60 bucks if they just put it on a disc.

Another exclusive damnn the ps3 keeps on rollin wit games awesome ;)

Jack-Pyro5122d ago

Is this a half decent SRPG, porn aside, cause if it is, i might just decide to go and buy it for the 360.

Anon73495122d ago

There's no porn just some sexual innuendos but that's it.

Also it is a great game by itself, maybe not graphically but everything else is top tier.

RedDevils5122d ago

so it had some kind of "top tier" porn story jk

ThanatosDMC5122d ago

Yup, it's a decent game. I just hate that a move has to go first before any attack options.
