Hey, guys:

Do you guys like platformers or totally despise 'em, like me? :P

I suck at Mario and all games where you have to jump onto things and not fall down. xD Honestly, I'm horribuu, Lmao.

I am too. I hate platformers. It was was the portion of Naruto: Rise of a Ninja that killed me more than rogue ninjas or Gaara's

It depends on the game. For instance, I'm a fan of the Mario series and love games like Megaman and Spelunky (both of which are action games, but they definitely have heavy platforming elements). I'm not quick to jump to a Platformer, though, it takes a very unique type of game to get me to play...well, it just can't be generic. Wario Land, Giana Sisters, Eryi's Action, they all work to create their own identities, and those are the types of Platformers that I really look for.

The first two Banjo Kazooie games are the best platformers of all time. Try those out if you haven't already.

I watched my brother play Banjo Kazooie, the first two ones, they looked pretty fun. :P

But I'm just not a good Platformer player, I suck. xD But that's okay, I highly make up for it in Pokemon battles and running people over, Lmao.

Okay, this video seriously made my day.

Tactical Ops was great back in the day. Always enjoyed it more than CS despite the popularity difference.

OMG YES :D

I just found the graphics hilarious, but the gameplay is just making up for that so much.
I found a secret passasge in the CIA map which i always use xD

It's my favorite genre.
I personally consider platforming to be the purest genre in video game. As in, to me, there's nothing more "video game" than platformer.

Why? Because to make a good platformer all you need is solid game and level design. You can throw out everything else, as long as you have those two you're set. But then it's about working to your limitation, and it takes a very special kind of level and game design to make a truly amazing platformer (such as New Super Mario Bros U, or Wario Land 4, or Rayman Origins). Platformer also lends itself to mix with different genres, such as puzzle (Wario Land, DK94/Mario vs DK), action/shooter (Mega Man, Jak and Daxter 2/3), open world (Mario 64, Jak and Daxter), adventure/path finding (Metroid), fighters (Smash Bros), whatever (Tearaway), etc. Should be about time for an RPG platformer as well lol.

Not even the best of its time (Crash 2) or its system (Mario 64). I hardly call them platformers anyway, more like collectathons.

There's a Nintendo Direct tomorrow; any predictions or wants on what they'll talk about?

Bravely Default for the states, and hopefully SMTIV for Europe.

I heard nothing about "previously announced games" so there's a potential for new games to be announced.



...and the inevitable Cranky Kong.

Shin Megami Tensei X Fire Emblem, maybe?

Probably not...but I can dream.

Maybe Persona Q, though.

At least Mario Kart 8 is gonna get a media blowout, considering how its a spring title. I want at the least mission mode back, that thing was so good on the DS.

My biggest disappointment with Mario Kart 7. :(

Where's my mission mode god dammit. And the old Balloon Fight mode as well, the new one sucks!

That's what broke my heart. MK7 is the first one I haven't bought, simply for being so sparse in content. MK8 is a tricky one though, cause the HD graphics combined with the anti-gravity is too tempting. But if they skimp me out on the god damn mission mode agai....

On a Nintendo Direct? The least you could do was add a Wii U version lol.

What's everybody playing, atm?

Transformers for the PS2. I've heard its the best Transformers game, and that's not a wrong opinion. Brutal, but fair.

Tearaway.

Fun little game that deserves way more sales. :(

Also Advance Wars.
