Welcome to an after Halloween edition of Week in Review! Join Shawn as he breaks down what Wii U games are coming from Nintendo in 2015, whether or not Bayonetta 2 is Game of the Year, a strange Smash ban glitch, and much more!
Masahiro Sakurai, the director of Super Smash Bros., explains why he believes online play isn't a good fit for the series.
I feel bad for Smash fans. Those guys have been trying to maintain the scene active for 20+ years and get nothing but hate from Nintendo.
Sakurai explains how he and Nintendo still don't understand how the internet works.
FTFY
I’m sorry, but if a game is MP then there’s no f*cking argument that can justify no online MP. What he says about competition being different from just playing with friends shows me how out of touch these people are.
It’s not until a new generation that understands things steps in to clean-house that we’ll see some evolution here.
It's a big fighting game so online multiplayer is a must. Competitive smash is the only thing I see fun in these games anymore asides from the big character reveals, singleplayer is laughable and you ain't gunna have people over for couch gaming much.
If Nintendo makes a new smash, it needs a huge evolution for singleplayer/couch play to be enjoyable for me any more. But we all know they'll just do a deluxe edition for their next console lol. They really need to up their servers as well.
he sounds more like is trying to justify Nintendo ineptitude to create a proper network infrastructure in order to Smash Brothers work properly online.
Bayonetta's character design and abilities have changed a lot since the series debuted in 2009, with new costumes and dark arts in every title.
Wii U recently celebrated its tenth anniversary, and in honor of the occasion, new data has revealed the top ten best-selling games of all time in the United States.
Xenoblade Chronicles X needs a remake when Switch 2 comes out! The game was fantastic, and it looked great! Better than most Switch games.
It isn't going to happen though. Monolith soft said "it is way too big", and would be too costly. I would absolutely buy that again, especially a remake or even a remaster.
Xenoblade Chronicles X should have sold better.
Thank you homebrew community for breathing life into the system Nintendo spent years trying to forget.
One of my favourite systems for homebrew along with the Xbox, vita and ps2
Please port Xenoblade Chronicles X, I'm shocked it hasn't happened yet since everything else pretty much got ported to the Switch.
In regards to Bayonetta 2, nope it's not game of the year. I'm going to even go as far as it's overrated. I've played enough of the game to know that it's not even better than B1 in a direct comparison. The levels are too large and wide open. The pacing is just off. And there's too many generic boss battles where you just float around the screen and fight the boss.
How a game can be GOTY without story ?
I honestly don't care about GOTY titles, as nice as they are, they're no different than a persons opinion. Not everyone will think a game is worthy or not everyone will like the same games anyway. So to me, the reward is somewhat pointless.
Yet something else for moronic fans to bicker over. The game is good and that's all that should matter.
Very possible. I would LOVE to see Nintendo get GOTY to shut up Sony fanbois!!!!
