It is so interesting to see a fan so invested in JRPGs.
Actually, not it isn't. Its very annoying.
wha ta hek r u saying dude?
Sonic's downfall was doomed to happen. After that horrid bullshit the X-Treme team went through and Yuji Naka being an asshole the entire time, Sega of Japan ruined the only property that was popular in North America, all because it was never popular in Japan.
In other news, Hirokazu Yasuhara is now with Nintendo. HAHAHAHAHAHAHA.
Time I put my two cents in this...
Mr. User-With-No-Name, I think its adorable you are trying to paint Nintendo as an RPG company when they haven't been one, EVER. Nintendo covers multiple genres, but in the entire history of Nintendo RPGs have been either flops or massive successes. Earthbound, one of my favorite SNES games, got (terribly) advertised and bombed so badly that we never got Mother 3. Golden Sun? Has its fans, but it will never be as popular as Pokemon or the Mario RPG games. Though in all honesty the Golden Sun series is really flawed, like on the level of Final Fantasy VIII...
The Operation Rainfall games themself, despite having probably one of the best fan driven petitions ever made, may be either a success or failure. While its fantastic Xenoblade is out (and its AMAZING), its in a market that ignores content like this; combined with the fact the gaming media did NOTHING to help Operation Rainfall (which my good Pietriots pal Grubdog went into in his article "Operation Rainfall's Biggest Challenge) and instead played the victim route; Xenoblade will NOT sell millions of copies, and NoA knew this. Could you blame them? Not one person asked about the three games at E3 2011.
Another problem is timing; the Wii is considered all but dead in North America and is constantly trolled as a result. NoA noticed this, so did NCL; even with its massive success, they look upon it as a disappointment. And remember Baten Kaitos? Both titles were released late into the Gamecube's life, were by the same developer, and they both flopped.
I want Xenoblade to succeed, I really do; combined with the gaming media who I know truly doesn't give a shit and fans who wouldn't buy it in the first place, I have my doubts.
Enjoy these games, we might never get games like these again.
You are not the only one. Sunshine is a truly mixed bag, and just like the 3-D Sonics it was rushed to completion. The different between those two is that it isn't a terrible mess, just really flawed.
Oh boy, I'm definately looking forward to writing about that game. :/
The option to change the third person camera to first person is a very nice feature in some areas. I have gotten completely used to the ground controls though. :)
Fully agree with this review 100%, though I don't really agree with calling the controlls 'clunky'. The options really help in setting the controls to your liking; I still think the in-game controls are better then the original Resident Evil titles on the PS1 and Silent Hill 1. :P
At the end of the day, my heart is pained at how far Konami has fallen. My favorite company during the 8/16/32/64 bit is now but a former shell of its former shelf (and that LOGO is so lame). If there is any calm to my aching heart, is that Good Feel is fill of Konami developers who worked on my favorite unsung Konami franchise: Ganbare Goemon.
That article image makes me cry. :(
Kid Icarus and Resident Evil are going to be my constant 3DS titles on the go, along with a slew of DS titles that benefit from the Slide Pad. And the Mario sandwich.
