The game was announced last year. Why on earth are we comparing it to The Last Guardian? Please continue dishing out the ridiculous comparisons.

It was a joke.
And I did say between.

No need to make the outlandish, accusatory commands.

 

[Pikma]

Game reminded me of Freedom Force even before seeing the screenshots, guess I was right!

I'm excited!

 

[Grenouille]

ugh i dont like those character illustrations.

7:07:38 PM PDT S.T.E.A.M. stand for:
7:07:48 PM PDT Strike Team Eliminating the Alien Menace
7:08:03 PM PDT The sound you are hearing is the english language buckling under the weight of that.

"What does STEAM stand for Agent Lion?"
"Strike Team Eliminating the Alien Meance"
"And what does that mean to you?"
"It means someone really wanted our initials to spell out STEAM"

 

[Qasiel]

FUCK Majora's Mask. We don't need anymore godamn remakes.

This is the remake we DO need.

 

[JB-the-Hunter]

For people complaining about the art style. It's eventually going to grow on you.

 

[Kansoku]

But if it plays sorta like Valkyria Chronicles, that's a good thing.
It's a good thing that Nintendo is taking risks on new IPs. It's even better that they're doing something so radically different in terms of art direction.

3DS screens usually look pretty bad. I want to see it moving.

Gameplay sounds great, but really not liking the art style. I hope that Treehouse tomorrow will change my mind.

For people complaining about the art style. It's eventually going to grow on you.

All we need to do is remember the Wind Waker.

 

[Boss Doggie]

does this mean Lincoln is now canon in Nintendoverse

And I'm glad they picked this style. Finally, Freedom Force is revived!

 

[Uncle Rupee]

This is the remake we DO need.

Why not wait until the next portable, it'll hopefully be a full remake and not just a remaster

Gameplay sounds great, but really not liking the art style. I hope that Treehouse tomorrow will change my mind.

I agree, but the simple fact Nintendo was willing to go with it is really refreshing. I'm not a big fan of the F-Zero character art either but I enjoy the games.

 

[MilesTeg]

At 18fps max in 320p resolution

Brilliant. Majoras Mask is long overdue an upgrade like OOT got, especially when MM is the better game.

What, you think it took Greezo 3 years to make Flower Town and port DSiWare 4 Swords to 3DS? It's obviously coming.

 

[Riposte]

So they are thinking about the next iterations of both AW and FE... does that count as news? That at least implies AW isn't perma-dead.

 

[Teknoman]

All we need to do is remember the Wind Waker.

Didnt people complain about Days of Ruin art style?

 

[Hex]

So graphics>everything?

Great

It has nothing to do with everything Mr conclusion jumper but it does have an impact, acting like it doesn't is being disingenuous

 

[starmud]

this seems like a game better suited for a home console, if we go off pitch alone.

while im not asking to see it, splatoon plays like an idea fit for a handheld...

 

[slit]

This is the remake we DO need.

No, go plug in your N64 or GC if you need it so bad!

 

[18-Volt]

I hope none of you expected RE: Revelations level graphics. All of Nintendo's first party 3DS titles visually unimpressive plus 3DS is not a powerful machine. This is on par with FE: Awakening and completely fine by me.

 

[Lingitiz]

This is the remake we DO need.

Majora's will happen eventually. Not this year though since the Pokemon remake is already their big game. Don't want to launch two remakes in the same holiday.

 

[Mine01]

I hope after mk8, and this amazing nintendo e3 i can use this gif:

 

[JennyTablina]

While it's not an art style I'm wild for, it certainly looks and sounds interesting all the same, really interested in seeing it in action tomorrow : )

 

[The_Endgamer]

Can't wait to see this game in action. I remember not liking screenshots of Viewtful Joe but in action it was glorious, it'll be the same here i reckon.

Concept is awesome, love every single bit of it.

 

[Delstius]

For people complaining about the art style. It's eventually going to grow on you.

Not a chance for me. I'm more interested by the gameplay though.

 

[Reversed]

For people complaining about the art style. It's eventually going to grow on you.

I feel the same way.

 

[Effect]

Need to see this in motion to make a judgement on the graphics. Gameplay wise I'm loving what I read though.

 

[Rich!]

No, go plug in your N64 or GC if you need it so bad!

Have you actually done that recently? It plays at sub-20fps with dips to around 12fps frequently, and runs at 320p resolution.

It's a travesty that it hasn't been updated yet.

And in the UK, PAL version is 17fps max with dips to 8fps. My copy of majoras mask is nigh on UNPLAYABLE.

 

[Not]

Whelp, guess I'm waiting for the demo

 

[m_shortpants]

No, go plug in your N64 or GC if you need it so bad!

I kind of want to play it again at more than 480x320 and 17 fps

so do many others

 

[Riposte]

I hope none of you expected RE: Revelations level graphics. All of Nintendo's first party 3DS titles visually unimpressive plus 3DS is not a powerful machine. This is on par with FE: Awakening and completely fine by me.

Kid Icarus and Smash are both spectacular.

EDIT: 3DS screenshots almost always look bad and jpgs butcher them further.

 

[themagicalkitsune]

I'm more than an hour late since I was flying, but

S.T.E.A.M. with figurines (possibly) is now my bet.

Edit: unless the amiibo thing is wii-u only, then it's probably just plain S.T.E.A.M. I guess.

calledddd ittt.

At least it sounds good!

 

[KxoZz]

I'm sure Treehouse will sell me on this tomorrow. They seem to be doing a good job at that so far...

 

[Demon Lizardman]

I don't know, as an artist myself, those character designs look pretty lame. You say you were inspired by Mike Mignola and Bruce Timm? Sorry to say, you kind of insult those two by saying that.
For the graphics, I have to see them in motion but so far I am not impressed and if I don't fight a massive Cthulhu alien overlord as the final boss I will be disappointed.

 

[EmCeeGramr]

Have you actually done that recently? It plays at sub-20fps with dips to around 12fps frequently, and runs at 320p resolution.

It's a travesty that it hasn't been updated yet.

The Wii VC version runs at a higher framerate and runs at 480p, which is higher resolution than a 3DS version would be!

 

[Jurassic Munson]

I really need a trailer. I love everything that I have seen and heard. Those screens captured my imagination. I love turn based SRPG anything.

 

[Ninjimbo]

IS is the king of turn-based systems and they have never released a bad game as far as I know. They have my trust.

I can't wait to play as Lion.

 

[IrishNinja]

Yeah, they shouldn't have said Jack Kirby x Mike Mignola, it set my expectations too high, lol

fuckin' seriously, that's aiming for the stratosphere right there

 

[MilesTeg]

this seems like a game better suited for a home console, if we go off pitch alone.

SRPG for handheld.

Shooter for console.

Seems pretty normal to me.

 

[Kansoku]

I hope none of you expected RE: Revelations level graphics. All of Nintendo's first party 3DS titles visually unimpressive plus 3DS is not a powerful machine. This is on par with FE: Awakening and completely fine by me.

I expected a mix of Kid Icarus and Smash with the tick outlines, and an art style close to Steamworld Dig, but a little more muted and comic booky. Got steampunk Solatorobo.

 

[scy]

I'm shocked to see so many people get hyped about the gameplay and then stop caring because of the artstyle, it looks cool.

Weird to me too. Meh. It's a 3DS title. Until I see it in motion, I don't care. Even then, I'm here for how it plays.

Game reminded me of Freedom Force even before seeing the screenshots, guess I was right!

I'm excited!

This is precisely what I had in mind except less superhero-like and with paler colors. I guess the VC talk got to me and I went more that direction for it? I dunno!

hyped regardless

Spoiler

My biggest non-gameplay concern is how over-the-top the dialogue will be

 

[Boss Doggie]

I need a videooooo

 

[Rich!]

The Wii VC version runs at a higher framerate and runs at 480p, which is higher resolution than a 3DS version would be!

It's absolutely not a higher framerate. It's a higher res, yes.

But framerate? No, unfortunately.

 

[Not]

Mike Mignola not so much, but I can TOTALLY see the Bruce Timm influences

 

[Immaculate]

For people complaining about the art style. It's eventually going to grow on you.

Probably but right now it looks atrocious. Everything else about the game is amazing

 

[18-Volt]

Kid Icarus and Smash are both spectacular.

Kid Icarus is not, and Smash does because it's a fighting game not many things going on. Kid Icarus is also on par with FE:A. There were meltdowns on KI:U trailer threads about graphics too, iirc.

 

[Uncle Rupee]

As someone who only played Valkyria Chronicles earlier this year, and really loved the mix of action and strategy, the game play description has me intrigued.

Really looking forward to seeing this tomorrow, trying to remain optimistic about the art

 

[m_shortpants]

The Wii VC version runs at a higher framerate and runs at 480p, which is higher resolution than a 3DS version would be!

Textures are the same though

 

[Qasiel]

Majora's will happen eventually. Not this year though since the Pokemon remake is already their big game. Don't want to launch two remakes in the same holiday.

I hope so. It just seems hard to believe that when questioned about it previously, Nintendo have always responded that they don't think there's enough interest in the game for it to happen. If watching responses and hype from many sources this E3 has taught me anything it's that many, many peoples bodies are ready for a 3D/HD remake of MM.

 

[Terrible_Majesty]

EBA style? More like GBA style.

Spoiler

I'm just kidding.

But really, why can't Nintendo just borrow Capcom's RE Revelaitons engine? I mean dayum

 

[Riposte]

Kid Icarus is not, and Smash does because it's a fighting game not many things going on. Kid Icarus is also on par with FE:A. There was meltdowns on KI:U trailer threads about graphics too, iirc.

Based on screenshots or how it actually looks while playing? I call bullshit on anyone who thinks Kid Icarus isn't impressive.

 

[Terrible_Majesty]

"What does STEAM stand for Agent Lion?"
"Strike Team Eliminating the Alien Meance"
"And what does that mean to you?"
"It means someone really wanted our initials to spell out STEAM"

I just re spawned. Because this made me die.

 

[18-Volt]

Inıtial screeshots, I believe. Everyone was amazed by E3 trailer but when the blurry and low res screens were out, minds were changed.
