And it's always in anti-grav mode.

Xenoblade Chronicles X?

Eh, I'd forgive them if they did a cheap batttle arena DLC pack as well. You can tell at the very least it would be priced fairly related to the work they would put into it.

Ok, hot damn, that's a steal. That's the kind of thing that should make other companies step back and take a fuckin' look in the mirror.

No, no, I didn't forget that at all. If you followed the conversation, you'd realize that I pretty much stated outright that I don't think they should do another SMRPG.

You know you can set the resolution in RCT3 to whatever you want right?

Well, keep in mind that it's twelve dollars per pack with 8/4/3 in each pack, so 24 dollars for what you are describing. But that's actually in GB (7 pounds ~ 12 dollars) and the US price may just be 10 dollars per pack. I wouldn't call it a steal (unless you compare it to other DLC... which are more highway robbery…

OMG, I've been hoping Nintendo would approach DLC in the style of expansion packs and it sounds like they are going to deliver!

The funny thing about that is that it isn't technically a double negative. It's simply a sentence with two negation modifiers, but the modifiers are affecting different things. Saying I "I can say I like it" has a completely different meaning. In one case, I'd be saying my feelings were positive, but in the other I'm…

So why not play one of the many Pokemon RPGs out there instead of announcing how you are giving up on Nintendo for a 3rd party making a Pokemon fighting game that a number of fans happen to be interested in?

I think you are drawing a lot of conclusions out of very little information. They said the game is coming to arcades first. Plus no mention of the hardware they are using was mentioned. It doesn't really look like anything the Wii u can't handle to me though the somewhat watered down youtube footage.

I was really thinking more along the lines of SMRPG where they make an RPG for a franchise that is not traditionally an RPG.

Yes.

Except it is a new thing because Nintendo explicitly said it was part of their Wii U strategy. And the other thing to consider is that Star Fox Assault kind of happened almost a decade ago and isn't really relevant when speaking of current events... that was Nintendo's previous big collaboration period when they were…

I guess that's true if you ignore the fact that they also have a lot of stuff that gets released on everything but Nintendo platforms.

Speaking of Zelda themed things by third party companies, Namco Bandai needs to hurry up and release the definitive Soul Calibur 2 HD on Wii U. It's the only platform where they'll be able to put all three of the console exclusive characters from the original.

I don't think Shigesato was making jokes about it.

I'm going to move the goal post a little on this one and say... on a console (or at least a major release) scale. The two games you described are kinda budget cheapo titles. Also to be fair, they don't really change the genre, they just apply a subgenre... though I suppose the same could technically be said of Hyrule…

I don't follow.

Why? Because they are letting other developers use their IP? It's not like anyone can do a worse job than Mario is Missing or Hotel Mario or any of the Zelda CDi games, and all of that crap was 20 years ago.
