Why are all these questions terrible?

 

[Maintenance]

"From Agent to The last guardian, how cancelled is FExSMT?"

"Shenmue 3 levels of cancellation"

 

[Velcro Fly]

best part of FExSMT was that $30 eShop credit I got =)

 

[mimho]

who was asking for the "Abe in London? how is possible?".... in a game with lovecraft-alien enemies?

 

[Riposte]

That Intelligent System, yo.

I trust em.

They said you wouldn't be able to grind up all your characters (a la Awakening), so I'm all in.

Why can't nintendo developers learn from sakurai?

It was obviously a choice. Fire Emblem is infamous for its difficulty settings.

 

[Santiako]

Ah man, I'm quite worried about one difficulty... Difficulty settings can make all the difference with strategy games.

Don't IS usually add a really hard mode once you clear their games? Might be the same here.

 

[Kouichi]

He already answered that question. Steampunk fits London.

 

[Pikma]

Ah man, I'm quite worried about one difficulty... Difficulty settings can make all the difference with strategy games.

Does Advance Wars have difficulty settings? I don't recall seeing them. If that's the case, I don't know why people would worry about it.

 

[KojiKnight]

Hold on, I'm trying to think, is this the first Nintendo-owned IP (that isn't dead right now) to use real-world settings?

Pokemon has been confirmed in numerous games to take place in the "real world" (mentioning real world countries, etc)

 

[Kaljinyu]

By the way, these are some actually interesting questions. Prefer them by a mile to the Q&A we got for Smash Bros last night.

 

[borghe]

Steampunk gives the game a more American feel? Isn't steampunk traditionally used for British settings? Or are they going for an smokestacky kind of steampunk?

huh? I'm guessing you are thinking shdowrun like steampunk.. wrong genre. move back 100 years or so to victorian era.. ala Jules Verne and such. That is almost all exclusively victorian era london, which is why they used that genre for the reasons they gave.

 

[Gartooth]

No. Game was apparently very early so there wasn't much point.

No, I don't think so.

No, it's just Starfox 64 graphics/gameplay with gamepad controls at the moment. I don't think the actual original game has even underwent further development beyond that yet.

Thanks for the replies.

A bit disappointing but I understand given that the screenshot in the leaked Time article looked like it was straight out of Star Fox 64.

 

[kurahador]

FExSMT cancelled, replaced with CODE NAME: STEAM.

 

[FearMyWrench]

LOVING that logo

 

[Barrylocke]

Steam Punk Civil War would certainly have been interesting...

 

[Thorakai]

rock music?

 

[LOLDSFAN]

Why are all these questions terrible?

Probably hard to come up with something cohesive when they just got overloaded with brand new information.

 

[Not]

Pokemon has been confirmed in numerous games to take place in the "real world" (mentioning real world countries, etc)

So, no?

Mario Bros are from Italy, still ain't the real world

 

[Serrato]

"Perhaps many of you here are fans of the advanced war series," Patraschcu said.

YESSSSSSSSSSSSS

 

[injurai]

"From Agent to The last guardian, how cancelled is FExSMT?"

: (

 

[dragonlife]

Whoa, it had rock style music? Interesting.

 

[NeonZ]

No, it's just Starfox 64 graphics/gameplay with gamepad controls at the moment. I don't think the actual original game has even underwent further development beyond that yet.

Has that been confirmed somewhere? The ship doesn't turn into a tank in Starfox 64, they're separate vehicles, and there was nothing like the helicopter either.

 

[Kansoku]

Finally a good question

 

[Mine01]

FExSMT cancelled, replaced with CODE NAME: STEAM.

don't do this to me, i tought it was true.

 

[Luigi87]

Asking about the composer. Finally a good question.

 

[Toparaman]

Rock soundtrack apparently.

....maybe it'll be awesome? Could be cheesy.

 

[Bobs Big Boy]

Cel-shaded turn-based from Intelligent Systems?

That covers a few of my favorite things.

 

[AcademicSaucer]

"From Agent to The last guardian, how cancelled is FExSMT?"

Project H.A.M.M.E.R. canceled

 

[th4tguy]

I'm late to the party. Is OP going to update with the details of the new game announced? What is it? I'm assuming not Metroid?

Nevermind, looks like IGN just posted an article on it:

http://www.ign.com/articles/2014/06...steam-for-3ds?abthid=53990947252d64782200000d

 

[Mortemis]

Finally, a really good question. I wanna know about the OST.

 

[blankempathy]

Steam Punk Civil War would certainly have been interesting...

Right? Imagine it starts off as a cival war and suddenly they figure out one side has been possessed by aliens.

 

[dragonlife]

Rock soundtrack apparently.

....maybe it'll be awesome? Could be cheesy.

Cheesy is awesome, too, though.

 

[Kaljinyu]

Edgy rock music, Marvel/DC art style, Eagle strike, I feel like this is gonna be some kind of 1800s action-comedy.

 

[HawthorneKitty]

Rock soundtrack apparently.

....maybe it'll be awesome? Could be cheesy.

SO YOU THINK YOU CAN RIDE THIS-

GameXplain @GameXplain · now
A: Composer is friend of developer. "Fantastic guitarist who likes metal music." Reflects the steam punk setting

 

[KojiKnight]

So, no?

Mario Bros are from Italy, still ain't the real world

Then his question is 100% moot since this game obviously doesn't take place in the real world either

 

[Terrible_Majesty]

Oh shoot. Atlus huh. Not IS. Hype deflated only slightly and by slightly I mean like 25%. How is it nobody at the closed door event passed out or spontaneously combusted?

 

[Josh7289]

Advance Wars composer.

 

[PhoenixDawn]

Has that been confirmed somewhere? The ship doesn't turn into a tank in Starfox 64, they're separate vehicles, and there was nothing like the helicopter either.

I'm not sure, I'm just saying that myself based on the one screenshot we've gotten. There could be more significant alterations to the prototype on top of the N64 game to test out things, but I can't imagine it has much of it running yet enough to show outside of closed door sessions possibly.

 

[Riposte]

Plz sound like Advance Wars Day of RUin

EDIT: YES

 

[Soph]

Days of Ruin was top notch on the music department!

 

[Neiteio]

Michael "TYP" Cole: A: advance wars composer hirano is working on this. Similar to days of ruin in style. Music has both 19th century string-type instruments and rock music for the steam punk. Music is dynamic, to reflect enemy awareness of danger, etc.

 

[ionitron]

Hold on, I'm trying to think, is this the first Nintendo-owned IP (that isn't dead right now) to use real-world settings?

Punch-out, unless you count that as dead.

 

[Hindl]

Permadeath question? Good

Okay, music sounds crazy.

 

[Ashodin]

Phew, no permadeath. Great!

 

[Kinsei]

Finally a good question.

 

[Anthony Soprano]

Where was the brief/old footage of Starfox shown? Any GIFs?

Isn't it out of the ordinary for Nintendo to confirm games that early in development?

 

[Zeyphersan]

SO YOU THINK YOU CAN RIDE THIS-

But I love that song

 

[Madn]

No permadeath
