Azul v2 Posted February 9, 2008 Share Posted February 9, 2008 I am enjoying the Fire Emblem, Pikman, and other songs on this soundtrack from games I would normally never play. J04- With Mila's Divine Protection is my favorite. I have it looping right now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Drack Posted February 9, 2008 Share Posted February 9, 2008 also this whole taunt to switch samus thing is either extremely difficult or im retarded It's quite hard to pull off. When I tried once I got it almost immediately, but a second time I tried for over 2 minutes and nothing. The command should have been much easier. Also, gamecube D-pad sucks, probably easy on Classic Controller. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
I-n-j-i-n Posted February 9, 2008 Share Posted February 9, 2008 I actually think Nintendo's technique of not giving main characters voices, and generally not doing a significant amount of character development, is a deliberate and very effective technique; it allows the players to give the characters whatever personalities they see fit to. If it's for simple games like SSBB, that is appropriate. But I don't think that works for all the games, especially nowadays. Most of the characters in gaming now (Nintendo games included) have definite personalities and quirks. They are not 'make believe into anything you desire' characters of the 2D era. That's simply an antiquated outlook. I think it only makes sense for characters that simply don't or wouldn't really need to talk like Kirby or Donkey Kong. Others, there's no reason why they can't say ONE LINE of dialog in a game. Whatever it is Nintendo decided to do, it's really not a definitive thing as to why they don't. But I tend to believe it's because most Japanese developers, especially one as super-conservative as Nintendo sometimes tends to be, to not incorporate these things into games. Look at just about all the recent American game efforts and they are FULLY voiced to perfection. Just imagine the headache and lack of character if Ratchet and Clank were total mutes. It's hard to imagine that now. It's like reading a book as opposed to watching a movie; in a book (or a game) we can give the characters whatever voice we dream up for them, but when we actually hear their voices, it's almost always a disappointment.I'm glad Nintendo doesn't make extensive use of voice acting. If you want to read a book then read a book. Like I said, for simple games like SSBB, it may make sense. But not for all their games. Some of their games could rely on voicing and look at recent Mario games. They have since moved from the text to full voicing for some of their games. It just flows a lot better. As for Zelda, I don't think the blank-slate-avatar thing works with that franchise anymore. Link is a defined character over the years and we're not in the NES age of Zelda games anymore. Also, even if Link himself stays relatively mute, that doesn't mean all the other characters should sit there and throw hundreds of lines of text when it could be more serviceable to be voiced. If you're somehow inferring that all voiced games are a nuisance in the same light just because Nintendo is on one side of the fence, I have to disagree. But like I said, it seems Nintendo seems to be more apt to using voices like with their recent Mario games and spinoffs. Now Zelda desperately needs some, even if they're still subtitled with Japanese voice if they need to, because reading text-blips is ridiculous for action games in 2008. PS- Looking at some of the Final Smashes again, doesn't Ice Climbers' one seem to be the most easily abusable? You'd have to be a total non-gamer if you can't smash someone with that one.

Vyse the Three Eyes Posted February 9, 2008 Share Posted February 9, 2008 and look at recent Mario games. They have since moved from the text to full voicing for some of their games. It just flows a lot better. What? Which Mario games are full voiced? I mean, they all have one-liners they throw out repeatedly, but that isn't full voicing. I can only think of one Mario game that had full voice acting for spurts any more than one or two short sentances, Sunshine. And the voices were absolutely wretched and definitely was a negative aspect. I'm not inherently refuting your main point, but I can't even begin to imagine what you're talking about with Mario.

MechaFone Posted February 9, 2008 Share Posted February 9, 2008 Mario vs Donkey Kong the first had some voices. Mario shat out full sentences in some sequences, and with each level completed, he'd congratulate you in full, unbroken English, and sometimes curse in Italian. Well, mock Italian, I think. 'Hey! Come back-a here, you big-a monkey!' Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arek the Absolute Posted February 9, 2008 Author Share Posted February 9, 2008 Finding out what the hell you have to do in these event matches is really getting annoying. I randomly won the pikmin event match without even knowing what I did. Someone got a list of wtf we are to be doing on some of these?

friendlyHunter Posted February 10, 2008 Share Posted February 10, 2008 Failure indeed. Suddenly the name "Landmaster" becomes invariably ironic. OMG guys have you heard the remixes from Metroid Prime 1 & 2?They Bloody OWN!!!! Specially the Prime 1 Menu remix, its freaking sweet! I love 'em I listened to the MP2 track, turns out it's the rarely heard Super Metroid Brinstar green place remix from MP2's multiplayer mode!! Superb choice =D And does anyone else think that the intro voiceover for the Brinstar (Metroid 1) song sounds like a toy commercial? It's not the first thing I thought of, but after someone else noticed it and told me, to me it'll forever sound like an action figure commercial.

Final_metroid Posted February 10, 2008 Share Posted February 10, 2008 I need some help, obviously the spoilers from this game have become totally rampant, and i desperately want to play this game for myself ASAP. Although I am not getting the Japanese version and I do not want to pre-order it because of the shipping time after the actual release date. What chain retail store do you guys think are definitely going to be overstocked on it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thalzon Posted February 10, 2008 Share Posted February 10, 2008 Well, that settles it: March 9th, midnight, at Wal-Mart. It's recently become a 24-hour store, so why not, eh? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SirChadlyOC Posted February 10, 2008 Share Posted February 10, 2008 Just to let you know, GameStop is also having a midnight release, and you can preorder the game there to guarantee your copy. I don't usually reserve games, but this one seems like it's worth it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arek the Absolute Posted February 10, 2008 Author Share Posted February 10, 2008 My local gamecrazy is having a midnight release. Best bet is to check any game store around you and see what they are doing. I find it funny that my local gamestop isn't having a midnight release yet others are.
