I tried out the mario game and tried to get a star... any star. There wasn't anything that seemed to unlock one so I decided to go for the 100 coin star...which unlocked something else entirely but I wasn't disappointed.
There was quite of bit of Nintendo News yesterday due to the direct but the main one that i am looking forward to is the new Fire Emblem game.
You'll be able to choose from two different paths, which will give you access to different characters and a different storyline.
The group on the right are the Hoshido clan who are your adopted family at the start. They are typical peace loving FE characters really. And the left is your birth family who is the honour bound Nohr clan who have to essentially start a revolution to promote their family. It looks interesting and I really want to play it ahhh. The japanese game will be two different games with each path on each... like Pokemon but there has been no word if that will be the case in the NA version.
They didn't announce anything in the english direct about having to buy two versions or not so I don't actually know how it will be here... I know there will be like a deluxe japanese release with both stories playable along with a 3rd DLC story but as of now it will just be the two different physical games... but buying one allows you to buy the other for a discount.
Oh man... Lego joins the collectible gaming figurine market... essentially making a Lego themed game but the characters don't have to be from any specific series. Like the starter pack has Gandalf and Batman in it.
It's pretty silly but it seems like the next logical step considering how many derivative Lego games there have been.
It's weird how a 2d platformer based on a movie is a pretty fresh thing when about 20 years ago that's literally what all movie and TV show games were. Now they are all mobile games that rip off candy crush and temple run.
Speedruns have always interested me. Playing games with glitches and shit to do them as fast as possible always seems satisfying. But this is on a whole nother level. This guy gets stars in Mario 64 with as few A presses as possible. In this one he gets a high up star with only a half button press, as in he pressed the button before the level starts and just holds it down during the level. It takes forever and involves some crazy insane math. It just opened my eyes to all the crazy stuff you can do in this game just manipulating the floors and walls and enemies. It's a really great watch if you have the time.
