WTF is the Wonderful 101? Looks awesome, though.

It's P100, Kamiya game.

AH.

So that's wtf you were talking about, Vader.

NGamers reaction to the Bayonetta 2 hate:

"I also remember the outrage felt by my Nintendo-loving mates when Squaresoft announced that Final Fantasy VII wouldn’t be arriving on the Nintendo 64 after all and that they’d made the jump to PlayStation, or the anger felt when Microsoft bought Rare. So to suggest that yesterday’s outbursts were the first ever incident of “butthurt” ever felt by a set of video game fans would be as mindless as some of the imbeciles that spouted their nonsense last night.

However, back then the internet was but a mere foetus, and the ability to spread this rubbish was severely limited. Back then I had one knob in my class who was adamant that Sega would be on top for the next 30 years because they had the “magnificent” Ecco The Dolphin (true story), but I was comforted by the knowledge that his ramblings wouldn’t even travel as far as the next classroom. Now such idiocy can be quickly slapped online for thousands to see, even more if websites pick up on it and quote it (um, like we just did at the start of this article)."

Vader was this you?

Ecco the Dolphin is magnificent.

Tekken Tag looks great, may have to get that when cheap.

Wow what a Super Stardust ripoff.

Super Stardust mid-2007

Nanostray 2005

Does The Wonderful 101 remind anyone else of what a modern Earthbound game may look like?

Silent Hill sucks, to put it plainly (but damn it I love the way in controls! Why arent there more Wii games like this but with good gameplay?!). I will finish it soon. Before I attempt another run is it really worth it, how different does the game get. Cause it seems to me like they just move objects from one thing in the room to another. Maybe a room or two is different.

Thread, has lots of impressions.

I started my second playthrough with an opposite psyche eval. The changes are minor but welcome and adds a nice bit of replayability to the game. Second time through the chases are so easy for me. I could literally get through them in about a quarter of the time, first time through. I'm so good at the chases I actually probably could investigate the ice world if I wanted.

So I completed my second playthrough, the ending this time was the same, yet different and even more revelatory. You get a little more info on some of the characters which brings things into focus. This time it was even more poignant, I felt myself welling up.



I sort of speed ran through the second playthrough which I shouldn't have as I just saw an interview which said that if you call the phone numbers second time through you get all new dialogue. One of the calls suprised me and creeped me the hell out. This game is really well made, because of the nature of the exploration and story the second time through isn't as good as the first, you already have some pre-knowledge of what's coming up.

Oh, oh and the saw proof of the game watching you. Second time through I perved over the reflection of this woman getting changed. It was a random thing, I caught it out of the corner of my eye then zoomed in. Then she came into the room a few seconds later and called me out on it.



Also in that same room I noticed that there were four bottles each containing coloured pills. Question is, will giving her a different colour affect the game? I have tried 2 colours with no change noticible by me.

I'm on my third playthrough. I found the chase sequences to be easy the first two run throughs.


I think the game must note how many times you've played on a save file because on this third run through, once you hit the hospital for the first time, I'm being swamped by enemies which are more prevalent, harder to throw off and even the stages themselves seem a little different to me. Maybe its because there are more enemies, they force me to go in unexplored territory instead of my usual logical route.


Its scarier and more challenging. I like it.

Chase tips

1. Use your map and press A to zoom it full screen.


2. Head for the doorways and buildings, don't try and run in a straight line from A to B.


3. Turn off you torch as much as possible.


4. Knock over objects to slow the beasts down.


5. High static from the wii remote speaker comes out when you point the controller in the direction of an enemy, sort of like a sonar, so avoid those areas if possible.


6. The music goes from tense for chases and quiet when they aren't on your ass. This is when you check your map.

Transformers Prime:

"The game utilizes the power of the Wii U, featuring dazzling visuals in 1080p resolution"

It does? Could have fooled me.

I guess it has potential. This is based on an anime series I think, so probably going for a different graphical style than the other Transformers games.

I am playing Kid Icarus Uprising, I thought I was almost done, oh well. 3DS XL is a massive improvement, it makes it far easier to control. I still need a stand but I dont hurt like I did before. Plus it's just easier to battle all the craziness on screen when it is big.
