I'm cautiously excited.

I'm just waiting to know if there's a subscription fee or not. If there is, I play no game enough to justify one. If not, the odds that I get this game go up, though it's still not a sure thing, especially if it sucks.

I don't mind that it's going to smartphones/tablets (more players is a good thing, especially if we can interact with them somehow), but the launch trailer stated this would be coming to smartphones first. Not sure I like that idea. I hope that changes, mostly because I'm selfish and would rather play on a platform where I'll have a better experience.

A robust single player experience is nice, but obviously I hope the story can hold a candle to the show. I don't expect it to be better, but I would expect it not to retcon the show/Serenity and to *feel* like Firefly.

We also know nothing about how it plays, sounds, or looks. We have only concept art. While the art looks decent, I'd much rather see gameplay footage, especially at this point in the development cycle. If it's supposed to come out in Summer 2014, that has to exist. Maybe they're waiting to show it.

In any case, if there's a beta, I'll be trying to get in on this action. I realize I said I'd never do an MMO beta again, but this is fucking Firefly.

Wow, this makes me really excited. The Fallout games are one of my all time favourite series, and I've been hurting for a new one with a nice engine like Skyrim's for a while now. We probably wont see it be released until 2015, though. That's a long time away...but we all know it's coming. Boston is cool, I guess, some 'murcans can probably give better opinions of this.

A decent summation of something that is becoming more of an issue in games, whether or not gamers like it. We know most of this stuff, but oh well.

A follow-up to the previously posted Angry Joe clip. I don't mind his material/shtick, but I feel like he could be a bit more concise sometimes. 31 minutes is pushing it, at least to me.

That said, he lays out the kinds of flags he's getting this time, who's doing the flagging, and shows us some of these companies' stances on the issue. These are all pretty absurd flags.

Nintendo are having a global Direct tomorrow to focus on Wii U and 3DS games in Spring 2014.

I want to get hyped but my dreams are going to be crushed.

But imagine if they actually announce an epic Wii U game...that'd be something.

I'd be hyped as fuck. I dun think I'd have a Wii U that soon, but I'd get it anyway.

...Yeah, I expect nothing of real importance. ;_;

That's pretty much Nintendo in a nutshell ever since the Wii U launched.

MrMarill takes a deep breath*

"Hyrule Warriors" is a Dynasty Warriors-esque Zelda game, there's a new Kirby title on 3DS with Smash Bros-esque multiplayer, new Yoshi title with nothing remarkable shown, Ace Attorney vs Layton looks really good, CELEBI EVENT, a pile of retro game love, Wii Sports and Karaoke shit, Mario Kart 8 looks good and ROSALINA IN SMASH BROS

EDIT: Oh wow that MrMarill thing does my icon too =O

EDIT2: Also this is a screen I never thought I would see.

Link doesn't work, but it actually sounds like Nintendo announced some cool stuff for once. Bravo.

That Nintendo Direct pissed me off at the end. I was like "Whoa, their finally making Mario Kart into a game featuring multiple Nintendo franchises." Then I was like, "Fuck you! What the fuck does Mario Kart have to do with Smash Bros.?"

Yeah that rustled my jimmies majorly. No idea why they would tease like that without putting the Smash icon before the trailer or something. The trailer currently on the Smash Bros website has that icon so it's weird.

The trailer I watched had the Smash Bros icon. o.O Guess the Ninty Direct cut it off.

Yeah the Direct itself cut it off for some unknown reason and they just said "this is a game you are all familiar with".

This Nintendo Direct sounded pretty decent. Yoshi's New Island is a game I'll get on day one (I don't understand the hate/indifference this game is getting; it looks fucking great), Rosalina is a character I mained in MK Wii and will likely main again in MK8/Smash Bros on Wii U, and the Celebi event is obviously awesome. Beyond that, I would have liked a North American release date for Professor Layton vs. Ace Attorney. I don't know why they could not have provided that. I also don't know why Europe gets it first (they probably think it'll sell better there?), but whatever.

To be fair, gaming needs diversity. I'm not sure this is the best way to go about it, though. I feel like a better way to promote diversity would be to invite developers who are making diverse games, in all contexts of the word diverse, and to change your convention's rules so that people who aren't part of the assumed norm actually feel *safe* going. I wouldn't want to feel pushed off to the side, as it seems this is making people feel.

It would also help to cut Mr. Dickwolves out of the picture entirely, but that is not going to happen.

The new Yoshi's Island didn't really show anything new at all and I'm not a huge fan of its new aesthetic either. I'll still get it because Nintendo Platformers <3333 and all that.
