Ross @ FG: This week on The Finger Guns Podcast the whole gang get together to talk everything Nintendo have revealed this week for their Super Mario 35th Anniversary celebrations and there’s an awful lot to get into.
We’re excited about 3D All Stars but confused as to why we only have until next March to buy it? There’s plenty to get through.
Elsewhere we stick to Nintendo for all of our topics this week and discuss our classic Nintendo memories including sticky tape, flicking your wrist in bed and a very cool underground den near the worlds biggest Asda. Ah, Nintendo.
Finally we switch(!) things up by predicting where Nintendo are taking their handheld hybrid in the next couple of years and if they have a big gun to compete with the biggest next-gen Christmas war in years.
These days Xenoblade is one of Nintendo’s bigger franchises – at least when it comes to RPGs – but that wasn’t always the case. The first entry came out in English more than a year after its Japanese launch, and that was for European fans only.
Would've been yet another whack move on Nintendo. I'm glad they did. It's one of the few games I got the switch for.
I guess Nintendo forgets how boosting sales numbers work. Why lock a game to a certain region or certain regions? You want sales number then flood the market and release the game in every region.
I just don't understand why companies enjoy locking software behind such specific things. Imagine if Minecraft was only available for Xbox 360 and only North America and never again on anything else..
WTMG's Kyle Nicol: "Heading Out combines genres and styles which might sound incompatible at first glance, but did so in a very interesting manner, resulting in a truly unique roguelike experience. I, for one, really liked the presentation as well, with its slick visuals and soundtrack. It’s not entirely perfect, as the driving could have been more polished, and the pop-in glitches really took me out of the experience at times. That being said, it’s a game unlike any other out there, which wlll definitely keep you engaged through a good few runs."
Armored Core 6 is the modern, action-packed mecha game that deviates from the Soulsbornes formula orchestrated by Hidetaka Miyazaki.
