Don't like these, they turned what were unique designs into rather generic looking CG monsters.
I don't think so, I think it helps it more. After seeing all those giant monsters and robots, I really want another big budget big monster film right now.
Define "assassin" then. Although I don't love their stories, the idea that assassins have been woven through all different walks of life is far, far more interesting than "hey look, here's a gang of ninjas!".
If people liking something you don't causes you to lose faith in humanity it might be time to take a look in the mirror.
I think the big question is why show a big reveal at VGX.
I'm personally really hoping for some F-Zero, Starfox and Metroid action. Hell, on Wii U or 3DS, either would be fine. But we haven't seen the former two in much too long, and DKCR has already hit Wii and 3DS fairly recently. It's hard to get excited about another sequel so fresh out of one that reinvented the series…
DON'T MIND IF I DO!
Go crazy?
3 major Luigi-centric releases, exclusive memorabilia, a Luigi design for the 3DS XL.... What else should they have done?
It IS a kids toy. That's the entire point behind the design. It's designed to be durable and non-eye-damaging for younger kids as well as cheaper so that parents have less of an excuse not to get one. I though everybody knew this...
BAD DAY BAD DAY BAD DAY BAD DAY!
But now you are open to seeing all the garbage in Japan instead, which my anime-and-Japanese-games-loving friends like to warn people about but are mostly safe from because they are not in Japan.
