To Buy or Not To Buy: The Rest of the Nintendo's 2014 Releases

From GamesReviews:

"Nintendo has huge plans for the next four months, both on 3DS and Wii U. Some big games are coming to both systems, so I figured I would let you in on what is coming, what you should pre-order, and perhaps what you might want to hold off buying."

Bayonetta 2 and Smash Brothers are for sure buys for me. Captain Toad and Hyrule Warriors are maybe's at this point.

What's holding you back from Hyrule Warriors?

-Foxtrot3541d ago (Edited 3541d ago )

The fact at it's core it looks like a reskinned Dynasty Warriors game. A skin is hardly going to change anything, it looks more appealing (Duh..it's Zelda) but the mechanics look the same. The Dynasty Warrior games haven't been doing well in recent years reception wise, not bad games just not as good as they used to be. From what I've seen if I envision Hyrule Warriors without the Zelda themes it's just another Dynasty Warriors game.

For me

Super Smash Bros Wi U - YES...obviously

Professor Layton versus Phoenix Wright - Damn right

Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker - Yes...hopefully this will lead to a bigger game starring Captain Toad.

Bayonetta 2 - Yes...if I haven't ran out of money

"The Dynasty Warrior games havent been doing well in recent years, not bad games just not as good as they used to be."

To be fair, 7 and 8 both reviewed far better than 6 did, and the new way they handle the story has opened up the franchise for a whole group of people.

Hyrule Warriors IS just another Dynasty Warriors game though. That's what's so awesome about it, man!

Neonridr3541d ago

to be honest, the Dynasty Warriors style of game has never really attracted me. That's not to say it's not a great game, but I would love the ability to play a demo of it first so I can see if I would enjoy that sort of thing.

Personally...

- Smash Bros: day one purchases for me, both versions.
- Hyrule Warriors: maybe, but not day one. Most probably will pick it up once it goes down in price a few months down the road.
- Pokémon Art Academy, Fantasy Life, Layton: not interested in any of these at all.
- Captain Toad: Hell, yes. Day one.
- Bayonetta 2: day one as well. I enjoyed the first game a lot, I only hope this sequel is a bit more meaty (more along the lines of Wonderful 101, which was an EPIC and really long experience).

smash bros and hyrule warriors for me.... bayonetta 2 will probably be a rental... can't wait for Devil's 3rd!!

wonderfulmonkeyman3541d ago

Nintendo is chock-full of heavy hitters every moNth for the remainder of the year.
How awesome would it be to get a huge box for Christmas that contains every single one of them?
I think I'd cry a few joyful tears.XD

TXIDarkAvenger3541d ago

Smash for me. The 3DS version is better than I expected when it was first announced.

I have Fire Emblem Fates LE, the European one. Not sure if it's as valuable as the US version, but it certainly was in high demand.

Chevalier105d ago

Don't think the European one would be as valuable since it's not region free. I got mine box and all and all those Yokai Watch games

Nyxus105d ago

I also have some of the Yokai Watch games, but also the PAL versions which don't seem to be that valuable.

Chocoburger105d ago

Its not often I actually have games on the 'most expensive list' but I do own Rhythm Thief and Layton vs. Ace Attorney. I believe both of them are sealed as well.

Chevalier104d ago

Nice! Hopefully they re-release the Layton games on the Switch. Surprised they haven't already

Nioh games definitely up there at the top alongside Ninja Gaiden BLK.

LoveSpuds478d ago

There is a decent fan base for the Nioh games, but still think they are criminally overlooked and under appreciated.

I just bought the PS5 collection to replay them again with all their DLC, a sweet collection for my games shelf for sure.

deleted478d ago

Yea, those gardens haven't been plowed in over 10 years now though. Imagine if they cultivated it, let it grow again.

Starman69478d ago

Amazing what ya can do with a samurai sword lol 🤣

tehpees3478d ago

The honourable mention though.

TheSenorCheese478d ago

originally it wasn't going to be included because of their take on Samus' character. But the gameplay's actually not bad.

Vits477d ago

Honestly, I don't know if we can even blame them for that take. Nintendo's Sakamoto was credited as the writer and from what we learned later with the Retro Studios interviews for the Prime series, Nintendo apparently never saw Samus as this stoic badass that most of the west imagined her as. Going as far as describing her as "motherly".

shinoff2183478d ago

Ninja Gaiden was dope but I don't really care for alot of their games.
