The Last Story is IttyBittyTitty City

Normally this wouldn't even bother me. But 2 hours in i chased around some dang birds to get invisible armor only to realize EVERY DAMN WOMAN IN THE GAME IS FLAT CHESTED! Don't let the cutscenes or the concept art fool you. When you go to change armor colors or see them in game, the women are flat as Yurick. Why even give me the option for invisble armor? You know if you give a guy that option he's going to be expecting some big knockers, not these little ittybittytitty women. Hell, I hate Princess Peach, but even she has bigger boobs than syrenne. Who's idea was the invisble armor? Was it some sick joke? What the hell? Nobody alive can be satisfied with those little mosquito bites. Again, normally I don't care about small breasts, but damn it. They made me work for those only to be rewarded with flatzilla. I'm convinced they could all run around bare chested and it still be rated T for Teen because it would be just like looking at a guy's chest! Argh! Pissed me the heck off! Its still an awesome game and I love it, but damn it, if there is a sequel they better at least give an NPC some boobs.

Captain Falcon needs his own RPG!

We all love Captain Falcon, just admit it. We all love to hear him scream "Falcon Punch!" before punching somebody with and explosion of fire shaped like a falcon. So then, why hasn't Nintendo made an F-Zero spin off game where you play as Captain Falcon? I'm fairly certain that a game where you play as Captain Falcon and save Mute city from the likes of DeathBorn and Black Shadow would be perfect on the Wii U.

    Think about it for a minute. It could be an open world sand box type game, and you use the blue falcon to drive from location to location in epic F-zero race style. Also, there can be missions where you walk around and beat up thugs and Falcon Punch and Falcon Kick your way to victory as you level up and learn new Falcon moves.  The gamepad can even serve as a map in the overworld, and be used for stats and center scripted events throughout the  game. There could be a chase scene where the gamepad is used to defuse a bomb, repair the blue falcon while in a burning building, or even as a skype type of voice chat during driving sequences that in game characters use to contact you for side quests or main missions. 

   As for as story goes, I would really prefer Intelligent Systems write the story for the game. They've provided some of the best stories in all of gaming with their Fire Emblem games. I'm fully confident that they can take Captain Falcon and the F-Zero world and craft a very compelling gritty hardcore adventure that is worth of the awesome Captain Falcon. It could be something involving the plot from the anime, GP Legend, or it could just flesh out the ideas that were presented in F-Zero GX for the Gamecube. Also, they should get SEGA for the soundtrack. The music played during the cutscenes in GX were superb, and I'm pretty sure we can all agree Captain Falcon's song is pretty catchy. Nintendo,make this game happen! The fans will love it!

Why Harvest Moon needs to come to Wii U and not Rune Factory.

You Read that title correctly. Harvest Moon Needs to make its way to the Wii U. I love the Rune Factory series, but there needs to be a return to form for the Wii U, and the Gamepad lends itself perfectly to the series. It could be used for inventory, conversation logs when trying to woo a potential wife, cow milking mini game, or cheese making, washing your sheep, status and health bars. The possibilities are endless. I also see Harvest Moon having a big community on Miiverse. If Natsume knows what they are doing they could combine miiverse with online capability and maybe even start a trade system. Miiverse would be chocked full of people trading goods and selling and auctioning livestock to better their farms. This game needs to happen, and it needs to happen yesterday! MAKE IT HAPPEN, NATSUME! I could use a little dose of "Serious Fun" on my Wii U.

Will X mark the spot with this One?

 

XBox oh how you've come a long way. It seems like just yesterday you were that weird little black box with the odd name that I laughed at. Who'd have guessed that Microsoft would create a console that set the gaming world ablaze? Or should I say the western gaming world? Yes, Xbox with all its merits, can't seem to make a dent in the asian markets.
  
      The main thing keeping the XBox brand from making an impact in the east side of the world, is the same thing that makes Nintendo so lovable. That's right. Just as I said Nintendo is unapologetically Japanese, XBox is proudly and painfully American. I have no doubt that XBox One will sell in America, but right now the features and games shown just are not hitting the spot for my admittedly asian-esque taste in games. If microsoft wants to hit it out of the park with this one, they have to be able to appeal to more than America, UK, and Canada. I am convinced that halfway through the 360's run, Microsoft just said "screw it!" and gave up on Japan. To make matters worse, the majority of the fan base agrees with that idea and thinks Japan just hates American products. If that were even remotely true, Apple products wouldn't be so big over there.

   Microsoft has to be able to sell in Japan and other asian countries if they want to be the top console. The Xbox One could possibly be the console that gives the XBox brand a fighting chance in Japan. Granted it still seems aimed more at American s with its features and the majority of its games, there are a few that stand out and seem like they will appeal to an Asian  audience, such as Spark. If Microsoft can get exclusive RPGs, adventure, platform, or even RTS games, it could help their stance. It is imperative that the XBox One sells more than just 1 million in the Asian territories if it wants to be the dominant console, and the only way to do that is with Games!!!! 3's a charm right? Your move, XBox, will X mark the spot this time?

Gimme some MMO

Let me just start by saying "I freakin love The World of Magic" but i can't help but wonder why portable MMOs are exclusive to smartphones and tablets? I'm fairly certain the PSVita and Nintendo 3DS can play MMO games like that. Who wouldn't want to play Pocket Legends or something of that nature on their handheld?

I thought long and hard about why we do not have MMOs on dedicated handhelds, and the only reason i could think up was lack of 3G or 4G, but then why not just use the Wifi? The 3DS even has a whole other screen to handle stats and quick magic. Do developers like Com2Us hate handhelds? Are they intimidated by dedicated gaming platform? Did Apple pay them off? There has to be some deeper reason as to why we don't have MMOs on handhelds. The ability to use physical buttons could greatly enhance The World of Magic. Rendering it in glasses-free 3DS would be a nice touch too. Maybe even use the PSVita's power to enhance the graphics and speed of the game. Whatever the reason may be, they need to work it out.

There does seem to be hope this gen, however. The big 3 showed a lot of support for indie developers and mobile game developers. Could this be a sign of  possible MMOs coming to a handheld near you? What do you think? Should PSVita and Nintendo 3DS get games like The World of Magic and Pocket Legends? Feel free to comment.

Just wanted to share one of my favorite video game songs of all times. It gets stuck in my head and randomly makes me smile like a fool. its a feel good type of song. Hope you enjoy.

Wii got U covered.

 Since its launch, or even before then, The Wii U has been the victim of much criticism. The media argued that Wii U would be for the casuals, then they argued it wasn’t casual enough with Nintendo Land. the argument soon became that the Wii U doesn’t know who it is appealing to and that it has an identity crisis. well, I am here to let you know that all of those views are wrong. Nintendo knows exactly what they are doing with the Wii U. They are doing what they have always done, and that is try to appeal to everyone rather than just one particular crowd.

   The media, (the more western portion anyway) tries to make the Wii U out to be some sort of child toy or lesser than the upcoming PS4 and Xbox One. This is due mainly to the fact that shooters have become the main focus in the western audience, and Nintendo is unapologetically Japanese just as it has always been. Most of the people saying that Nintendo has changed or that they have abandoned their fans, refuse to see the truth, which is the game industry has changed, but Nintendo remained the same. There was once a time where adventure games, RPGs, and platformers were big. That is the time when Nintendo was still considered cool. For comparison sake, Call of Duty is now a big name in the game industry and kids grow up playing Black ops  and Modern Warfare these days, as opposed to playing Mario and Zelda. How can The media write off Nintendo as ignoring it’s fanbase, yet ignore the fact that Playstation purposely ignored some of the franchises that made it famous? Am I the only one that noticed that Spyro games (skylanders included) are now getting advertised more as Nintendo console games even though they began life on Playstation? What about Crash Bandicoot? He’s seen his share of Nintendo exclusive releases, and not a word was said.

  With E3 behind us, Nintendo is now making it very clear who they are pitching their games at, which, I repeat, is everyone. They’ve shown off Bayonetta 2, and the new Monolith RPG known only as X , and Smash Bros. for the hardcore crowd, Wii Fit U and Wii Party U for the casual gamers, and Mario Kart 8, and Super Mario 3D worlds for the mixture of the two. With Mario, Donkey Kong, Pikmin 3, and wonderful 101 all coming before christmas, I find it hard to see how anyone can say Nintendo has forgotten their fans, or is only for the casuals now. It’s gotten so ridiculous that even Reggie Fils-aime himself has gone on the record saying that he doesn’t know why the media say the things they say about Nintendo. One thing is for certain, when the Wii U is set and done, the media will be singing a whole new tune about Nintendo, and if not, the fans certainly will be. There are some big shockers headed our way, wait and see.
