It bums me out that some people didn't get to enjoy Kid Icarus Uprising as much as others.

Like, I can't refute their claims about the controls because... I mean, that can't be helped! It just wasn't comfortable for them and that's that! And the game is still at fault in that regard for having a polarizing control system that isn't friendly to all users (I know there are alternate control methods but let's not pretend they're as effective as the default).

I'll just say that I consider myself lucky to have it click with me (perhaps due to experience with Metroid Prime Hunters?) because I found it really intuitive and functional. The touch screen control isn't really intended to emulate a second stick at all, and is really a trackball in function. With practice you can turn with a greater range of speed and stop with far more precision than you ever could with a stick. To emulate that with a pointer, even, would require some fucking wizardry with the bounding boxes. But, I mean, if they make a version with those controls and it lets more people enjoy it, all the better, I suppose.

But yeah I'm certainly not trying to convince people that they're wrong about their opinion on the game. That is their experience with the game, and this is mine. Neither is more valid!

... I just felt like chiming in because I think it's a stunning game and I was getting sad about the comments

Prediction for tomorrow: Palutena

 

[Mr Swine]

He's also ludicrously fast for a fat scientist. He was running at the same speed as Sonic at the end of Sonic 2.

Must be the ostrich DNA.

Well no wonder why he looks like an ostrich egg! Lol

My inner child is screaming.

Mine's got a smug grin on his face since he managed to finish Pikachu and Pichu and I can't do it years later :/

Yup.

Kid Icarus Uprising rocked, but the awkward controls bogged down the experience for me.

 

[ffdgh]

Eh we'll probably just get a pesudo version of palutena anyway.

 

[zroid]

I'm willing to, for Palutena!

 

[Son Of D]

Two things. First, I have no idea what was up with my previous post in this topic. I was drunk at the time so that's why it made no sense.

Second, what's with the Kid Icarus talk? Something been teased or the usual hype train?

I don't think anyone said it is a bad game, its controls are just not ideal.

Also, KI:U started as a Wii game, so yea.

 

[IntelliHeath]

I think GamePad would be way better with KI:U.


I know there are no patterns, but I would like to point it out. Anyway, Super Smash Bros Dojo was released on May 22, and their original release date was on Dec 3rd. So they were planned to work on Dojo for about 6 months and 2 weeks. Due to delays, they had no choices but extended it more longer so that would explained why we got some filler updates from Dojo.

Of course, it's different with Smash 4. We are getting daily image instead of "Dojo update" but they are same things in concept, and it's way better. It might take longer than Dojo's time frame because we might receive more contents, characters, etc. Daily image started on June 11, so it have been running for 6 months or so. I would estimate that we could have other 6 months to go since we just got explosion of new informations for last few weeks.

Basically Q2 could happens, and before people said that it was rushed. It could not be rushed because they had better teams this time. This team is called NAMCO-BANDAI, however we don't know how big the teams are.

 

[SuperSah]

If they are going to reveal Palutena, assuming she is playable, it would not be through the Pic of the Day, come on guys.


Hasn't this game been in development for nearly 2 years? Why wouldn't Q2 be possible?

Someone insulted the original Kid Icarus, than I jokingly brought up that I didn't like Uprising, then things kind of branched off from there. We just drift from one conversation to the next.

 

[afoni]

Uprising's controls revolve around the idea of the touch screen being like a loose trackball. If you replaced that swift and precise control with a stick, it would break the game.

The paper works could started somewhen in Jan or Feb. Sakurai tweeted that he is brainstorming for Smash 4 on Twitter during Feb. Also he claimed that he's looking at Dojo as well during Feb.

After E3 2012, Nintendo decided to released Nintendo Direct in June, they announced Namco-Bandai and Nintendo working together with Super Smash Bros 4. In the interview, they said that they had prototype ready so that would made me assuming that they started working on SSB4 way before June 2012. I would like to make a safe guess that they started somewhen in late April or May 2012.

So it's not even 2 years production yet but Namco-Bandai is very good with fast development for sequel games. I wouldn't be surprised that they could finish the game before two years mark.

 

[Azure Dream]

Not sure if I should post this, but I made a fan moveset for Eggman (a long time ago), and almost all of the moves are based on things he uses in the games. If you're interested, find it here.

Right along the lines I was thinking, even the Final Smash. Looks good.

Eh, Eggman is really strong, can break stuff with his fist (look at Lost World) really easy

There was also a bit in the Sonic X anime where he punched robots to bits with his fists. I think it's one of those secretly canon things that he could knock someone out if he really wanted to, it's just not his style.

"Sonic! Behold my latest invention, Brass Knuckles!"
"But Knuckles is standing over ther-" *BAMF*

 

[ffdgh]

Eggman's attribute in sonic riders happened to be power lol.

 

[Red Arremer]

Thanks.

Eggman's attribute in sonic riders happened to be power lol.

Yeah, in Zero Gravity too. Power characters can drive actual vehicles in that game instead of hoverboards, but Eggman (among some others) is in fact locked to those vehicles and doesn't have a hoverboard.

 

[Gonzo The Great]

Has anybody ever considered that Sakurai may add a Fossil Fighters character? I mean, it was a new IP introduced after Brawl came out.

 

[JazzmanZ]

no

 

[Zonic]

Has anybody ever considered that Sakurai may add a Fossil Fighters character? I mean, it was a new IP introduced after Brawl came out.

I can see it represented as a trophy, sticker (if those return), or at the most, an assist trophy.

 

[Berordn]

I didn't, but I don't think much of Fossil Fighters to begin with. It's possible I guess, since there's a new one coming out.

It just doesn't really seem like a notable enough franchise to get included as more than tertiary content.

 

[KHlover]

Yup. Would be pretty much unplayable with Dual Stick controls.

 

[IntelliHeath]

I really hope that we would get T-Rex Assist Trophy where he would growl and bite the players out of the game.

I can't see it happening. It's not a remotely well-known IP.

The same could have been said about fire emblem, marth and roy... i think.

Didn't even come out in Europe.

I don't think Fossil Fighters was well received, or even has much of a following. It's a shame, cause I think the concept held promise. From what I've played though, it's reception is sort of deserved. Kinda seemed half-baked. I'd welcome an AT though.

 

[Spring-Loaded]

Final Destination should go full circle and be the first destination of Smash: the desk from the N64 intro.

i've been saying this for years

The sequel was actually dramatically improved, for whatever that's worth. Plus they're making a new one, so it's gotta be popular in some demographic.

You don't know how much I really want that. I want them to including more franchises in smash as much as they can.

 

[DaBoss]

Zelda is going to release in Japan on the 26th.

What is the release date schedule in 2014 for Japan? Kirby Triple Deluxe is early 2014, and I imagine Yoshi's New Island is early 2014 also.

I'm not saying that the reveals will be on those dates, but rather be related to the release schedule as other characters that were revealed are except Marth who has already had Fire Emblem Awakening released.

 

[Heyt]

My prediction: ugly grass close up that generates more debate than any newcommer reveal could.

Hi, future.

Thursday is the 27th anniversary of Kid Icarus. You know what that means folks.

Relax...tomorrow...well today for somebody lol, will bring us something new and exciting.

It'll be tonight for me. There'll be something tonight. Nothing we want though.

 

[Baron von Loathsome]

Wasn't it a well-known series in Japan? I mean, it got an OVA back in the 80s. That's gotta account for something, right?
