Does Onslaught have any local splitscreen multiplayer?

 

[VOOK]

What was I typing there, updated impressions below :lol

 

[DDayton]

Keep in mind, commodore 64 games frequently had only one button. So the grab = d-pad away and fire, and attack = hold fire, press up for high weapon attacks, and down for kicks.

They always had just one button -- sometimes they had keys on the keyboard, but only one button!

(Unless it was a two joystick game.)

Sounds like you got it. But to be clear. To pick up an item you hold the fire button and press back + down. And yeah, the hands have to touch the item for it to register. Even if the position you're in makes no sense from a visual aspect.

The controls do take quite a bit to get used to. However once you've got it, it's a really awesome action adventure game.

It's still a bit troublesome at times, but it's working much better with the CC joystick. The manual seems to hint that it requires diagonal movements (which makes sense), and that's probably why it was so touchy with just the Wii Remote's joypad.

 

[Dan]

I've never managed to play a Mr. Driller game, so I'll totally buy the WiiWare one if/when it comes to North America.

 

[VOOK]

Animal Crossing Calculator
I’ll let the video do the talking as it’s just a calculator. There is also a Mario Themed version for the same 200 Points.

Art Style HACOLIFE
First of the Art Style games released this month, but both of them have a “cube” theme going on. This one has an 8bit/Pixel Art style look, but the music is pretty basic. Squares get laid out in a shape on the ground and you have to roll the squares into a Cube.

Art Style Nalaku
Another cube type puzzle. This time you control Bob (that's the name I gave him) on a floating cube stack, the aim of the game is to try and walk on as many cubes as possible and at the same time more cubes are falling to make the next layer up. The stack keeps building, but the ones on the bottom fall away eventually. Weird to explain, but the video below reveals all.

Mr Driller
The first third party game on the DSi Ware service and it’s not entirely new, reusing a few assets from the Mr Driller Drill Spirits game. It does contain the Dristone mode, which was in the Japanese release and means we’ll get the mode too. The game is bright and colourful on the DS screen but doesn’t really make use of any of the DSi features.

Links to video footage and video impressions of all the titles.

Like I said, if your nostalgic about C64 then more power to you. I'm not, but yet I can enjoy a cool looking game without that nostalgia. For example on the NES I played River City Ransom for the first time and loved it. It looked cool in videos and I gave it a chance.

I'm not trying to piss any C64 fans off, sorry if I am. Again, this is just how C64 games look to me so I thought I'd vent my disappointment/frustration. I wouldn't think thats a crime in the VC threads. :lol

wat dude? C64 and SMS games look significantly better than almost every NES game. Both systems have considerably better graphics engines. If you really thought RCR "looked cool" but think games like Wonder Boy and Last Ninja look awful, one really has to question your objectivity on this. Both games graphically look better than RCR from a technical level, and both games are hellafun to play. Let me give you some free advice, stop talking through your ass and either put up the $5 to talk shit about these games of shut the fuck up.

 

[60_gig_PS3]

Onslaught is awesome. There's something I love about Japanese made FPS . They just have a different way of thinking about the gameplay.

Mr. Driller W impressions.

I think it is called Mr. Driller W for short, as two previous games had letters; Mr. Driller G (Great) and Mr. Driller A (Ace).

The impressions show that there's a space level, I REALLY hope it's based on the Star Driller level from Drill Land, as the song is so good, I'm listening to it as I type this!

The main video mode C64 games use has a very low resolution with odd rectangular pixels (160x200) and a 16 color palette. In still shots, C64 games are going to look horrible compared to NES and SMS games. The 64kb memory does allow the system to do very impressive things with those limitations as evidenced by the video posted above.

Wow. Guys, it's my opinion about something. If I say "these games look dull, I dont want this" it shouldn't put any of you in a hissy fit. My complaint would have ended there too had I not had so many people calling me out.

I even apologized if somehow your feelings were hurt by saying that. What more do you want from me? Lie and pretend to be optimistic about games I'm not?

It's my opinion. Do I need to bold that? My opinion. If you think its "wrong" and it causes me to miss out on games you think are great then so be it, my loss. Let it go.

 

[Hero of Legend]

Can we stop hating someone over an opinion?

You may not agree with RFF's opinion, but don't go bashing him with insults about it, respect opinions, even if you don't agree with them.

This is a thread to discuss about the downloadable games on Nintendo's consoles, people are going to have various opinions about each, live with it!

opinions on things that you've given a shot at are fine. That's not what anyone is calling you out on. The point is that in the face of people telling you this stuff is great, your "opinion" is stemmed from nothing but glancing at (probably not even all the way through) a handful of youtubes. Thus your "opinion" is in fact not an opinion at all but baseless criticism. Hence people calling you on it.

respect opinions, even if you don't agree with them.

how is it an opinion if he has no basis for it? Refusing to even try the game but calling them crap? How is that an opinion?

"lol, these games suck."
"Have you played them?"
"No, but they suck, just look at the youtubes."
"Right, but have you even tried one?"
"Why would I? They suck."

An exaggeration, but only a very very slight one.

My only issue with the dude is saying he wishes these games weren't coming out. To me, that's someone who isn't respecting other people's tastes at all, and I'm not about to respect someone that doesn't respect others.

However, he apologized, and he has a Taru avatar so he's likely good cheese, so I'm over it.

RFF judged games based on what he saw in videos, that's fine, as that's the safest way of judging games. If you don't like what you see, then don't buy it! No one's going to point a gun to your head.

And so what if he thinks one game looks better than others, regardless of how popular the games he's not interested in are.

If someone said that "Crash Bandicoot looked more interesting to me than Okami", that person has every right to say that, regardless wether Okami is considered to be a masterpiece or not.

This problem applies to me as well, as I've seen quite a few bad mouth me because I'm interested in smaller games like fishing games or even Battle Rage because I was a bit interested and a tad optimistic about the game, especially due to the low price point (and I'm not the only one).

Point is, people have the right to think whatever they want about a game, as long as they don't bad mouth others for having a different opinion.

This is called, having an individualistic mind.

 

[borghe]

meh, I guess I just see it as excusing ignorance under an "opinion doctrine".

"I can say whatever I want about something without any basis whatsoever so long as I call it an opinion."

I'm not going to lose sleep over it. Just blows my mind that people will call stuff out for sucking without even giving it one second of their attention. Welcome to the internet I guess.

Yes this is GAF, fights and flaming happen a lot.

I guess I was more or less trying to help someone.

I'm just trying to be a good person.

Thus your "opinion" is in fact not an opinion at all but baseless criticism. Hence people calling you on it.

I don't need to play every game in order to say if it looks dull or not. If I watch videos of Petz Horsez for Wii and think it looks dull, read reviews of Petz Horsez for Wii and hear a lot of people think its dull, I'm not allowed to say it looks dull as well? We have people praising games like Last Ninja in this thread, and we have people saying its horrible in this same thread. I have not said these games suck like your saying, I said they look dull. "No Basis" for my opinion? I think videos are a great way to get a basis for how something looks.

Anyways what your implying is not how I spend my money. I do some initial research and if the game doesn’t look appealing I don't buy it. Actually I'm pretty sure that’s how everyone buys games and very rarley does somebody say "this looks boring to me but I'm going to spend my hard earned money on it anyways cause maybe I'll be surprised".

Please just relax, I don't want to cause problems. I want to enjoy talking about what I like and don't like in this thread like everyone else.

My only issue with the dude is saying he wishes these games weren't coming out. To me, that's someone who isn't respecting other people's tastes at all, and I'm not about to respect someone that doesn't respect others.

And I didn't mean to come off as "I don't like them so nobody should have them". Re-reading what I wrote sorry if it sounded that way. I was more just frustrated with the way VC games are released. If C64 releases could happily coincide with other releases then I wouldn't be frustrated. But because of the way games are usually released the announcement of C64 came off to me as a long multi-week roadblock of games I don't care for.

 

[brain_stew]

Does Onslaught have any local splitscreen multiplayer?

No, huge missed opportunity imo.

I believe the confusion lies in the fact that we all thought you were judging the games on a technical level. However, reading your following comments, it seems your issues are that you just don't like the look of the game. The pace, etc (Last Ninja I'm talking about here). That's cool. It is a slow paced game. It's a thinking mans adventure game laden with atmosphere. Technically, one of the most amazing 8bit games ever released. But gameplay wise, it has its problems and there are certainly people out there that don't like the style. Regardless if it was the best selling game on the system or not.

Personally though, I think for the asking price, it's worth just about everyone's time to just buy and try. It's a classic game that in the history of video games was a landmark release for its time. One of those games that became legendary and should be tried by every video game fan young or old.

Fucking ouch.

I haven't played the game so I can't comment on the quality but I am sick of reading about pointing for long periods of time being painful. If I can play RE4 or HOTDverkill for 4 hours straight without problem, then I fail to see how this game could be such a pain.

NA's getting the SNES Ogre game? I thought that wasn't at least so easy due to Atlus doing the only translation for I think it was the PS1?

 

[Dragona Akehi]

NA's getting the SNES Ogre game? I thought that wasn't at least so easy due to Atlus doing the only translation for I think it was the PS1?

Ah but Enix themselves localised and published the SNES version. While Atlus did publish and retranslate the PSX port of OB, you're probably thinking of Tactics Ogre, where the only localisation was the PSX version by Atlus.

 

[Hero of Legend]

Ah yeah, I was thinking of Tactics!

So it's Ogre Battle: The March of the Black Queen. Is that even out on the VC in Japan? I thought Tactics was the only one out?

Edit: Apparently the ESRB rated it.

 

[jaundicejuice]

Fuck yeah, I've got 800 points waiting to be spent on Ogre Battle: March of the Black Queen if it's coming out on VC soon.

 

[Iam Canadian]

Well, I've got a hankering for a quirky but lovable SNES RPG set in a parody of the Uni--

oh, wait. freaking nintendo. D:

Spoiler

In all seriousness, I'd really enjoy Ogre Battle.

Ogre Battle! Hell yes!

Ah but Enix themselves localised and published the SNES version. While Atlus did publish and retranslate the PSX port of OB, you're probably thinking of Tactics Ogre, where the only localisation was the PSX version by Atlus.

And let me guess it would be impossible (due to money or some tech difficulty) for SE to buy the translation and put it into the SNES version.

 

[Jiggy]

I'll happily buy the automatic-best version of Ogre Battle. Save states without the water-map slowdown of the PSX version? Excellent.

...Now let's just see if this will be the time where I get Canopus. The one who always eluded me.

This week's EU Virtual Console games (released Feb. 05)
EU VC update:

WiiWare week.

 

[beje]

As an euro user, I declare this the Official Thread of 2 craps per week and not even trying.

I mean, isn't there anything better out there to make some company to an already shitty game as Snowboard Riot than Beer Frat Games or however is that shit called? Not even another piece of overpriced shovelware to make weekly releases not as sad? This is outrageous, we haven't got updates bigger than 2 games for MONTHS.

 

[plufim]

Australia just gets snowboard riot today, sadly.

Still no C64 games for us. Boo-urns.

 

[Stormbringer]

Hey, remember Made in Ore, that really cool sounding version of Made in Wario, in which you will be able to make your own minigames ? Well, looks like there's going to be a Wiiware version too, titled "Asobu Made in Ore". Fact is that you'll not be able to make your own minigames in this console version ; however, there will actually be a connectivity between the Wii version and the DS version, which will allow play on your TV all the minigames you've made on your DS and store them in the Wii. You'll also be able to receive minigames from Nintendo both on the Wii and DS.
For info, both versions will be available in Japan on April 29th (DS : 4800 Yen, Wiiware : 800 points).
