Making a new Wario game, and it's 2D. Also megaman 9 done in NES style, FUCK YEAH.

[Bobbias]

Oh wow, now I really want a Wii :/

[vladgd]

the new wario game does LOOK good, but the subtitle being "shake it" hints at WAGGLE, which for me is a major turn off.  but if it turns out to be a solid platformer, good for them.

[Bobbias]

Well, it's for the Wii. the Wii actually makes use of the motion sensing capabilities of the Wiimote. In fact, that was sorta the point of giving it motion sensing capabilities in the first place.

[MortifiedocAlot]

Other then hitting the ground, there aren't any other movies that need it. Other then a few key parts, it looks like you won't really need to waggle constantly, like waggle to jump/attack.

[vladgd]

wellp this is good, because from the footage ive seen, it looks like an old school platformer (a GOOD thing) with a nice fresh coat of paint.

[Bobbias]

Yeah, targeting throwing things, and directing canons, and that cart thing look to be more or less the only types of situation you need to use the motion sensing. Other that that, it's pretty much just a classic platformer.

idk if its been said already or not, or whether or not it's 2008, but...


DIABLO III.

Same. I'm going to cry gallons when 2D gaming "dies". Then I'm going to download a thousand 2D indie games.

[Bobbias]

Yeah, I like oldschool 2D games. I hope they make more actual 2D games for the new consoles. Just because the console CAN make awesome 3D graphics doesn't mean it has to.

well save for a small handfull of titles, indie gaming is pretty much the only place to go for new 2d games.  why do you think im looking forward to bionic commando rearmed so much?  you don't need to dumb down the graphics to have a fun 2d game, and based on looks, bionic commando rearmed is going to deliver.

anyway, wtb non waggle, 2.5d metroid on the ds, or even wii.

Megaman on all consoles, also some gameplay footage. Really the talk abut people wanting it in HD and what not is awful.

[Spectere]

Really the talk abut people wanting it in HD and what not is awful.

Your average current-gen gamer is typically a fucking idiot who thinks that HD is capable of making bad games great.  That, or they're 12 years old and don't know what non-HD looks like.  Or, perhaps, both.

Either way, we need to start an initiative where we take away those fucktards' Xbox 360s and PS3s and give them an NES and/or SNES and a good collection of games for a month.  Someone needs to show them that games don't need budgets in the tens of millions of dollars to kick ass and take names.

The fact that Capcom is making MM9 a 2D platformer makes me crave it even more.  If it's even half as good as MM2 I'm going to fall in love with it.

[Bobbias]

Yes, I'm SO happy to see someone still making 2d platformers. And by somebody I mean a real full budget studio, not some amateur computer programmer.

[Zakamiro]

i never really "got the deal" with megaman
