I think truckers and college barflies were more interested in single player games than in competitive fighting games. A few truck stop Neo-Geo machines I saw even had Puzzle de Pon, an even more cutesy version of Bust-A-Move. There was also Battle Balls, which had the same sort of anime characters as Magical Drop in a match three gravity puzzle.
They also really liked Gals' Panic in truck stop arcades...
No. As I said, motion controls were a core part of Skywars Sword's design on the Wii, and they could not simply be removed from the game.
There were always Neo-Geo machines at Peter Piper Pizza, which is a big Arizona chain, usually running games like Bust-A-Move, World Heroes, Art of Fighting, or (later on) Metal Slug. They also had them at movie theaters, truck stops, and on military bases. Magical Drop was in a lot of machines placed in more adult venues.
You can't tell me that that somebody hadn't watched Back to the Future when they were working on Groose. He's definitely the "Jerk Jock" archetype, and not in the way you see in most Japanese works.
I still remember the shit-storm that erupted when Wind Waker was unveiled. A lot of times, people get mad over stuff that Nintendo never even promised. But that said, many of the criticisms of Skyward Sword were fair, and Nintendo responded to them both in this port as well as during the development of Breath of the Wild. And I will say that I feel that the worst Zelda game is better than the best games most series have put out.
Me either. You spent almost as much time in SS fighting with the controls as the monsters. I liked the Wii, it had a lot of really great games, but the controls were frustrating when all I wanted to do is sit on the couch and play.
Then my review has done its job.
Great soundtrack and a memorable little story line. I did kind of roll my eyes at the number of deus ex machinae that allowed characters to miraculously survive tragedies that killed them, but other than that? It's a shame that there isn't really a definitive version of this game out there. The PS1 is closer in terms of gameplay, while the SNES version has better sound and no load times.
And don't forget the best part: "YOU SPOONY BARD!"
I'm jelly of that copy of Fire Emblem: Path of Radiance you have there.I wish Nintendo would consider porting that.
