Kirby is awesome but it's essentially a handheld game.  I wouldn't be surprised if it had started off as a 3DS game but switched platform in order to further bolster the U line up of releases.

The problem is that the game looks absolutely gorgeous on the big screen so I'm kind of annoyed having to look at the gamepad all the time.  The art style is so cool (and yes, it's very trippy too!)  Foolz I know you like claymation so you should definitely check it out.

Yeah, it looks great, but I'm not sure it sounds all that interesting to actually play.

RUMOR - OS for Nintendo's NX might be Android based

This definitely flies in the face of everything we'd heard about the NX using the Wii U's architecture. If it's true I think it'll be a mistake. It may open it up to easier hacking. Guess we'll have to wait and see on this one.

ReviewTechUSA says they're probably just using Android because its easy to develop on, & a solid OS to share between a console & handheld.

But doesn't it worry anyone else that they are going to rely on tablet and smartphone conversions instead of making hardware capable of sharing X1 and PS4 level titles? The big 3rd parties are still going to shit on it.

According to ReviewTech, using an Android OS doesn't mean the system is underpowered....its just an OS. They could make a superpowered console around it if they wanted to. But, this is Nintendo so who knows? Have they learned their lesson from trying to sell underpowered hardware and expecting 3rd-party support? We'll see.

The Nvidia Shield uses android.

Sounds good.

So I know myself and everyone else has been talking Witcher 3 nonstop, but I did start Dino Crisis 3 on the Xbox OG, so I'll tell you guys a bit about this game.

First of all, I can totally see why this game threw off so many people back in 2003, because it really is totally different from the first two games. The first Dino Crisis was basically Resident Evil Code Veronica with dinosaurs. It played exactly like RE, it had fully 3D environments, and it had the same kind of save/inventory/item management systems. Probably a bit harder than RE though.

Dino Crisis 2 was a much more action focused game. Played similar, but if I remember right the game was broken up into levels and you would get credits for how well you did to buy stuff.

Dino Crisis 3 still has the RE vibe that most of Capcom's action/adventure games had back then, but the gameplay is actually much more like Metroid Other M which I wasn't expecting. It was funny too, because I played about an hour of it and kept thinking how much it felt like Other M. I went on Gamefaqs to see if anyone said anything about the difficulty because I was having a hard time on normal. One of the first things I read was some guy saying "Dino Crisis 3 is basically a weaker version of Other M mixed with RE". So I know I'm not crazy...it really DOES feel like Other M. Now, the interesting part is that this game was made 7 years before Other M. Hell, it was made before Metroid Prime Echoes.

But it has the same kind of fast paced 2.5ish shooter gameplay as Other M, complete with a giant map to show you where to go, and a 1st-person lookaround view that, yes, you can stand and shoot from.

You really have to wonder if Team Ninja took the Other M idea from this game.

I like it so far. I'm about 2 hours into it, but I started over on easy mode because honestly, normal was annoying me. It takes place way in the future and you find a derelict ship in outter space with dinos all over it. Oh yeah, this is why the game also reminds you of Dead Space...the setting.

But in this game, you'll enter a room and dinos will just magically appear out of thin air. They're very quick, and they try to ram you constantly. When they do, it drains like half of your health bar and health isn't easy to come by. That's why I changed the difficulty. It honestly seems like Capcom designed the game super hard because it was an Xbox exclusive, and Xbox back then was the hardcore system. Japanese companies in particular seemed to think that meant everything needed to be super frustrating. But whatever...

After toning it down to easy mode, I'm enjoying it much more. Its still challenging. The controls take some getting used to...very odd setup. You have a jetpack on your back that you can use to blast around quickly, as well as jump to high ledges. That's done with the right trigger. Shooting is mapped to the X button, 1st person view is mapped to the right stick button, etc. There's save stations just like Metroid, where you save your game, get new data, get points to spend on upgrading weapons and gear, and more.

The game is also quite good looking, which is expected from Capcom on the Xbox:

Will play more when I peel myself from Witcher 3.

Please stand by.

It seems like a spokesperson for Nintendo shot down this rumour saying that the NX OS won't be Android based.

I didn't like FO3. never played New Vegas. Actually, I didn't play any of the original FO games either.
