Wow @ Miami Law.

Also The Legendary Stafy score has me bewildered.



Pixel Art can be fun.

Indy, good score. Conduit, wanted more. Munchables, its ok. Tiger Woods, 1st day.



“When we make some new announcement and if there is no positive initial reaction from the market, I try to think of it as a good sign because that can be interpreted as people reacting to something groundbreaking. ...if the employees were always minding themselves to do whatever the market is requiring at any moment, and if they were always focusing on something we can sell right now for the short term, it would be very limiting. We are trying to think outside the box.” - Satoru Iwata - This is why corporate multinationals will never truly understand, or risk doing, what Nintendo does.

The conduit score surprises me...

Only a 7.5 for Grand Slam Tennis? Why?



"Pier was a chef, a gifted and respected chef who made millions selling his dishes to the residents of New York City and Boston, he even had a famous jingle playing in those cities that everyone knew by heart. He also had a restaurant in Los Angeles, but not expecting LA to have such a massive population he only used his name on that restaurant and left it to his least capable and cheapest chefs. While his New York restaurant sold kobe beef for $100 and his Boston restaurant sold lobster for $50, his LA restaurant sold cheap hotdogs for $30. Initially these hot dogs sold fairly well because residents of los angeles were starving for good food and hoped that the famous name would denote a high quality, but most were disappointed with what they ate. Seeing the success of his cheap hot dogs in LA, Pier thought "why bother giving Los Angeles quality meats when I can oversell them on cheap hotdogs forever, and since I don't care about the product anyways, why bother advertising them? So Pier continued to only sell cheap hotdogs in LA and was surprised to see that they no longer sold. Pier's conclusion? Residents of Los Angeles don't like food."

"The so-called "hardcore" gamer is a marketing brainwashed, innovation shunting, self-righteous idiot who pays videogame makers far too much money than what is delivered."

Wow @ Miami Law. I guess every obscure game Fatlus.. err Atlus releases isn't a masterpiece.

Atlus isn't the publisher...



Sorry about that.  I'll edit it immediately.

Starfy is a lot like Kirby. Short and easy. It relies on its charm to really win people over, but there really isn't much there.

 

Fortunately i find that sort of charm infectious, so i'll pick it up eventually.



Monster Hunter: pissing me off since 2010.

I wonder if they even got to play it with WM+. Last I heard, even EA and Sega only had a few of the things to go around.

Any Grand Slam review is worthless without knowing how Virtua Tennis compares.

Don't worry about it. Nintendo Power likes to give many low key games really low scores anyway, including some Atlus published games. I remember that they gave Dark Spire a 5/10, complaining that parts of it felt too old-school, when the developers were purposefully trying to make the game in that way.
