"And so for years this community has been asking, 'Where's Pikmin?' 'Where's Pikmin?' 'Where's Pikmin?' We give them Pikmin. And then they say, 'What else?'

"For years, this community have said, 'Damnit Reggie, when you launch, you better launch with a Mario game.' So we launch with a Mario game, and they say, 'So what's more?'

"I have heard people say, 'You know, you've got these fantastic franchises, beyond what you're doing in Smash Bros., isn't there a way to leverage all these franchises?' So we create Nintendo Land and they say, 'Ho-hum, give me more.' So it's an interesting challenge."

Haha, yeah, Reggie is awesome. It's funny hearing a Nintendo rep be so no-nonsense in interviews. Reggie doesn't fuck around when he's not buttering up an E3 or N Direct audience.

Don't you know, his body is always ready.

Also, Mass Effect 3: Extended "here, now shut up about the ending" Cut comes out on the 26th.

Edit: Also Dawnguard for 360. Yeash!

PSO2 is everything I dreamed it would be, and more.

It's.. It's perfect. I can die now.

By the way, I couldn't log in to Ship 2, so I'm in Ship 10, now.

So how do the ships work? Is it one of those MMOs where you pick one and then whatever character you make is stuck there or can you actually pick a different one whenever you want?

Right now, your character is locked to a ship, but I've been told that in the final product, you can use your characters in any ship. Also, the open beta's data will carry over to the finished game.

but I've been told that in the final product, you can use your characters in any ship.

FFFFF- That sounds awesome.

Though even if data carries over I don't want to play the OBT. I'm sure we'll just have to start new characters in the localized version anyway, which I'm still hoping will exist.



*EDIT*
Whoa, did you guys know the boss in the KH3D demo can knock you down through the window/ceiling into the building for the rest of the fight?
That just happened to me and I immediately started imagining all the cool possibilities this simple little mechanic just potentially introduced. Getting knocked through windows and walls, falling off of buildings and cliffs... Especially the crazy story battles later on that the game is bound to have. The more over-the-top they make KH the more I'll love it, and this + Flowmotion are a step in the right direction~



*EDIT*
Uuugggh, why!?

Spoiler! :

The final battle of KI: Uprising is so semi-disappointing. I mean yeah, the new Escaflo-I mean Sacred Treasure mech, it's transformations, the cutscenes, exchanges and overall showdown with Hades are all epic, BUT I FUCKING HATE PLAYING THE FLYING SEGMENT FOCUS OF THIS GAME.
I'm sorry guys, but as much as I love Uprising, I despise the flying segmant focus in this game. If it were possible to exclusively play Ground portions I'd be scoring crazy high all over the story, but the flying just never clicks with me, and it makes the Final Battle so much less fun than it could've been to me. :C
I can't even get passed that damn Blue/Purple Orbs + Barriers phase. orz

[Raging Ghost]

I try to run PSO2 through Steam. I got temporarily logged out of Steam. FUUU-

[RyoSoulreaper]

Disgaea 4 Time yo.

I won't do Val's past yet but I got enough money to get DLC characters and the episode with Lahral's Dad.

I also got a Classroom map from Disgaea 3. LET'S GRIND!

EDIT:
SQUEE! Mao's battle is set to the Evil Academy theme!

I'm gonna LOVE these DLC's.

EXCUSE TO REVIVE NIS THREAD GO!
In a second here...

[RyoSoulreaper]

EXCUSE TO REVIVE NIS THREAD GO!

Holy shit I forgot we had one!
*rockets to thread*

[Seven Rain]

HEY GUYS.



*EDIT*
Whew, finally beat KI: Uprising. Amazing game but that Final Battle was frustrating and disappointing. :C
I was hoping it would at least end with one Ground Battle in the Great Sacred Treasure, but oh well. I still loved everything else about the Final Battle, even if the gameplay and Failure=InstaGameover gimmicks made it so that I never want to replay that Chapter again.
I'm just gonna go ahead and keep praying for a Wii U port so I can play it with a second analog stick and 9.0 the shit out of every chapter.

Spoiler! :

Also the Chariot Master was a BAMF.

AND WHY THE HELL ISN'T SCOTT BULLOCK IN MORE STUFF HE'S SO AWESOME ASADJFBSLJFJASHBGFJHBSDFG.

*EDIT*
Whoa, there's an Idol of the scene where

Spoiler! :

Medusa attacks Hades? That's awesome, I want one for the scene when Hades and Pit collide in the new Sacred Great Sacred Treasure. :O
That was like my favorite shot of the whole fight.
"TO DEATH!" "TO VICTORY!"

[SpiralPen]

Congrats, Seven!!
I agree that out of all the chapters, that one sounds the LEAST enticing to replay :C
which sucks because it's awesome. The ending ending wasn't anything to write home about, but it was everything I would expect it to be, satisfying, and I loved it. It just sort of filled me with that feeling of finishing a really good series when I was younger. I wasn't old enough to be super disappointed, I just kinda sat back and absorbed all the good vibes like the sunset. And it was good.
My only disappointment remains

Spoiler! :

that the scene where Gaol apparently turns good is cut so short and shouldered off to the side. I mean, I don't mind using my imagination, but knowing we probably won't see her again for a LOOONG time, if EVER, it's disappointing that she wasn't given a tad bit more time to become a major character. Oh well, can't be helped. Fanfiction to the rescueeeeee /actually hasn't read a Gaol fic yet

I think all in all, my favorite chapters were

Spoiler! :

Fighting the Space Pirates on the Galactic Sea, Raiding the Lunar Sanctun, Taking back the Corrupted Skyworld, Bringing Pit back to life, The Reaper's Stronghold, and the Magic Ring stage. Oh, and the Phoenix' Lair. Errr.... And Poseidon's domain. Uh... Do I have to choose? I
I think the funniest dialogue, hands down, was the semi-final inside Hades. No, that's probably not true. Let me replay everything, I love it all so much.

[Seven Rain]

Any scene with Hades is a strong contender for my fave. He was hands down my favorite character.

Spoiler! :

The only thing that keeps me from clamoring for more Gaol is the fact that I wouldn't care in the slightest about them giving Magnus a love interest, but that's probably what Gaol would've ended up being, even though she was just his partner in battle as far as the game lets on.

[Raging Ghost]

Well, won't you look at that.

[Seven Rain]

Well, won't you look at that.

Jump on the hype-train, homie.

Mmmmmnnnaaaaaaah.

Spoiler! :

I really couldn't care less about Magnus having a relationship with her. I like Magnus on his own and Gaol on her own, I just thought her character was really cool! She had tons of potential to be a really cool antagonist, you're never sure when she's having a genuine "good" moment or if she's just using her knowledge of her older good self as a means of manipulation and scheming. I really like that off and on vibe! That and I'm just desperate for Kid Icarus to have more really strong characters to be flagship reps for the series. Magnus and Gaol are awesome, but they lack that definitive punch of Viridi or Hades to make them true mascots of the series and something people unfamiliar with the game will be drawn to and begin to associate with the franchise.
