Compared to the last direct, I felt this one was so much better.
Last time we didn't get anything but "HEY WE'RE WORKING ON STUFF TUNE IN NEXT TIME".

It's still nice to see they have stuff coming.

I'm actually surprised that Nintendo's finally making good games.

i'm also relieved

The visual styles of Yoshi's Island, Mario & Luigi, and that new Zelda are really lovely.
I'm going to make it my new mission to get that 3DS, I'd like to think the email I sent them persuaded them to do this  giggle;

There's actually quite a few 3DS games I want now:
Animal Crossing New Leaf
Donkey Kong Country Returns 3D
Fire Emblem Awakening
Harvest Moon 3D: A New Beginning
Kid Icarus Uprising
Legend of Zelda Link to the Past Sequel
Legend of Zelda Ocarina of Time 3D
Luigi's Mansion: Dark Moon
Mario Golf: World Tour
Mario Kart 7
Mario Tennis: Open Court
Mario & Luigi: Dream Team
Mario Party
Paper Mario Sticker Star
Shin Megami Tensei IV
Super Mario 3D Land
Tales of the Abyss
Yoshi's Island 3DS

I was hoping that the Ace Attorney/Professor Layton crossover would be coming to the US when I saw Tec's post.  Then I read the opening post and was horribly disappointed.

i'm not particularly worried about whether or not layton/ace attorney will be localized, i believe level 5 at least has already indicated that it'll be coming over lol

yoshi's island looks ugly as hell

m&l has great art but i haven't liked any of the games since the first one

zelda looks a bit nasty visually but it'll probably be good and they'll probably clean it up considering how good games like luigi's mansion look

i think the zelda looks pretty neat, i mean the link model's a bit silly but in general i think it could be a cool looking game idk

yoshi i'm not so sure about lol

and i'm glad to finally have a more definite release window for pikmin 3

I lol'd
Yea I've played with the idea of a futuristic zelda, but I think that could go wrong on so many levels. I like to humor the idea that Dark souls is the dark zelda I've wanted. lol

Was the DS Mario + Luigi any good?

And for some reason I just can't do the Yoshi's Island games. Always die going after the stars and it pisses me off, especially when they disappear.

Out of all that news I think I'm mostly interested in a new Animal Crossing

Post by: Kalahari Inkantation on April 17, 2013, 07:53:02 PM
i wouldn't be totally opposed to the idea of a zelda that took place in a 'futuristic' setting, especially now that we've seen electrical devices like robots in a game that takes place as early as ss does

just as long as it's, you know, good

I also think Zelda could successfully borrow some cues from Demon's/Dark Souls.  The Souls games really are enough like dark Zeldas as is. cry;

i wouldn't mind if it turned out to be a remake rather than a sequel, but it sure is strange for them to claim it's a new game and then go on to show footage of exactly what we've already experienced in alttp (except in 3dpd)

and if it is a true sequel, i'd rather it didn't draw so heavily from alttp either, but i don't want to make any assumptions about how similar it'll be since all we've seen so far is a few short videos (it's not looking good, though myface;)

the core mechanic of the dungeon is still there though, so it's still more or less the same

the switches and the red/blue gates they put up/bring down
Title: Re: Nintendo Direct 4/17/13

not to say that those switches aren't also in almost every other alttp dungeon after that one goowan

but it was introduced in that one and it's the core gimmick to it

and even the vertical level hopping thing was present in the original game, meaning so far they've demonstrated exactly one truly new mechanic (sidling across walls as a drawing)

and that one new mechanic looks terribly out of place

maybe with these videos they're just trying to really focus on drawing the attention of alttp fans

and also maybe trying to avoid showing details that would be visible in other locations

that's what i'm thinking/hoping

i'll be pissed if the overworld is exactly the same. they better extend it like pokemon g/s/c did with johto and kanto

What would be cool is using the same overworld...


then EXPAND the corners to expose an even BIGGER world.

OooOooooOh.
