Mirby

i'm lazy so my impressions are in chatlog form [17:59] <Mirby> hold on [18:00] <Mirby> i jacked like 3 things of Jones Soda that they had there [18:00] <Mirby> HEY THEY SAID THEY WERE COMPLIMENTARY [18:01] <Mirby> anywho [18:01] <Mirby> got there a bit early [18:02] <[NAME]> go on [18:03] <Mirby> i'm tryin' to pull somethin' up [18:03] <Mirby> hold yer horses my computer's bein' slow [18:04] <Mirby> [18:04] <Mirby> took this picture at the entrance [18:05] <Mirby> first game i played was the Zelda Battle Quest within Nintendo Land [18:05] <[NAME]> how did the controls feel? [18:05] <Mirby> it's cooperative, taking elements from Four Swords such as hitting switches together [18:05] <Mirby> oh they were tight [18:05] <Mirby> very responsive [18:05] <Mirby> I only used the Wiimote there, but it was fun [18:06] <Mirby> everything had a cardboard-cutout feel [18:06] <Mirby> when the bridge into the temple fell, you could see the top of it for a second and it was corrugated cardboard XD [18:06] <Mirby> Next I watched a friend play the arrow game in Game & Wario [18:07] <Mirby> you use the Gamepad to pull back arrows (the bowstring is wario's stache and the tip of the arrow is his nose) and tilt the Gamepad to aim [18:07] <Mirby> you can also rub the tip of the arrow to create a sneezing arrow [18:07] <Mirby> if the enemies, little Wario robots, get too close they'll jump on you and you have to smash them on the Gamepad's screen before returning to the action [18:08] <Mirby> you can also hit landmines to get some nice combos, and there was a boss [18:08] <Mirby> a giant Wario tank [18:08] <Mirby> you had to hit the screws on his arms and in his nose to reveal his buck teeth [18:08] <Mirby> which you shoot [18:08] <Mirby> unfortunately my friend was devoured by the Wario tank, resulting in instant loss [18:08] <Mirby> i tried Jimmy's game, the ski course [18:09] <Mirby> you hold the pad sideways and tilt it slightly to turn; your view on the screen is top down [18:09] <Mirby> i got the best score the guy had seen on the course; it was easy [18:09] <Mirby> you also shook the pad gently once to get air off of jumps [18:09] <Mirby> my reward for getting Gold was seeing Jimmy gyrate his hips in full cel-shaded HD glory [18:10] <Mirby> i don't think i'm sleeping tonight [18:10] <Mirby> After that I tried the Mario Chase game in Nintendo Land [18:10] <Mirby> one person with the pad plays as Mario and has to outrun the other players, the Toads [18:10] <Mirby> on screen, the toads see how close they are to Mario but aren't sure where he is [18:11] <Mirby> i managed to catch Mario with 2 seconds left, and that was only because Mario got stuck running into a post XD [18:12] <Mirby> From there I checked out Super Scribblenauts; just as fun as the other entries, the missions are fun, it's obviously open-world, creating new objects is awesome (i created a massive mosquito with its head and wings separate from the body rayman-style and christened it the Giganto Mosquito) [18:12] <Mirby> i then rained death from above with prismatic crying gigantic wings and a large purple flamethrower [18:12] <Mirby> which i later swapped out for a giant magenta laser [18:15] <Mirby> the interface on the touch screen was great; you saw everything that was on the TV screen, and it was easier than ever entering words into the notepad [18:15] <Mirby> you also were able to drag and drop the items you created whereever necessary [18:15] <Mirby> i then checked out NSMBU [18:16] <Mirby> it was fun; we did a stage with a baby red yoshi, who inflates like a balloon [18:16] <Mirby> this enables you to basically get a floating double jump [18:16] <Mirby> i called dibs on luigi before it was my turn and the guy running the booth ensured i got him too [18:17] <Mirby> also, unlike NSMBWii Player 1 isn't always Mario [18:17] <Mirby> but yeah, the person running the Gamepad was someone i befriended and that really allowed me to see the teamwork aspect [18:17] <Mirby> asking him for platforms to a Star Coin and getting them [18:18] <Mirby> then i went on to check out The Wonderful 101 [18:18] <Mirby> which was fun, really fun [18:18] <Mirby> very intuitive gameplay and over-the-top wackiness [18:19] <Mirby> there's two types of attacks: X and A [18:19] <Mirby> X attacks are weaker but they recharge your battery meter, required for the stronger A attacks [18:20] <Mirby> you can recruit civilians to your cause by drawing a quick circle (mine were never complete loops) and maneuvering that with the left joystick near civilians [18:20] <Mirby> when the line turns prismatic they join your troops [18:20] <Mirby> you can also change attack form with a quick line (sword) or right angle (gun) [18:21] <Mirby> enemies get a pie chart representing their health, sometimes with layers on it much like the colors of KH1's enemy health bar [18:21] <Mirby> it's quite entertaining to run circles around enemies (such as a giant tank) and just pulverize [18:21] <Mirby> when you go into a building the action switches to the Gamepad's screen [18:22] <Mirby> which looks just as good as on the TV [18:22] <Mirby> maybe a bit crisper actually [18:23] <Mirby> although the ZR and ZL buttons were quite sensitive, something i discovered drawing a quick circle and then bumping it accidentally [18:23] <Mirby> canceling the circle [18:23] <Mirby> i was like WTF but the guy told me that's what it was [18:23] <Mirby> some guy in a mario suit showed up [18:23] <Mirby> took a picture with him [18:23] <Mirby> trying to break a plush block with my hand but it WOULDN'T STAY STILL [18:23] <Mirby> XD [18:31] <Mirby> i also tried out the Metroid game in Nintendo Land [18:31] <Mirby> sniping the young kid controlling Samus's ship via the Gamepad [18:31] <Mirby> seriously, as far away as possible, direct hit also lizz was there.

If I can get them I will.

BAM!! One review, hot off the presses!!

It's a good reason.

so how about that Wii U? i'm going to the Wii U Experience tomorrow; I'll post here about it when I return.

Funny that all your physical OCR albums are FF projects.

Having my level 42 Pidgeot named Sixto defeat a level 75 Pokémon (forget which it was, but it was one of Morimoto's) by spamming Fly in Pokémon White.

TAYLOR IS NOW FRIENDS WITH TAYLOR. lol

No I'm a bitch, get it right!

That's why I asked if you were able to snag one; I know they're unavailable and probably will remain so.

Were you able to snag the Card Case 18 from Club Nintendo? That helps out a lot too.

We've been using "they" for a reason. It started with one, but others are on board. A team is ready and are wondering if it would be truly worth it.

So did I. @Zerothe: I did that joke last year.

That is a gigantic image.

Pretty fun song to listen to. I also can't wait for OCR02500. :3

but you've posted in this thread meaning you disagree with yourself so you agree with everything and everyone but if you're agreeing with your disagreement then... *explodes*

Sitar-Kabooie. ocre and I already discussed this in IRC.

OH A COMPUTER CAN DO THIS. OH AN EMULATOR CAN DO THIS. THIS COMPANY SUCKS BECAUSE THIS PROGRAM THAT IS IN NO WAY ENDORSED BY THEM CAN DO WHAT THEY CAN'T THEY NEED TO GET WITH THE PROGRAM. Yeahno.

Luigi punched that Piranha Plant. This is why Luigi is awesome.

Just throw Schala in there somewhere; it worked in the WCRG.

I'm sure you're in a position where you can neither confirm nor deny this, but I take it one of the stipulations SE set was licensing fees for future SE-related printed albums?

Keep in mind that funding is being used for recording sessions, professional mastering, and licensing fees for each CD being made.

Funded again. In less than 12 hours too.

Yeah that's what I meant. Yaay. :3 I just wanted that issue cleared up since I'm sure I'm not going to be the only person to ask it.

So you have SE's blessing with this one then?
