Well... at least they got the music right. But why is Maxim a spikey haired J-punk now? How is he supposed to impress the skirt off of SERENA (Selan) with that outfit? Only Selan and Gades look like their old avatars.

I'm happy there will be puzzles, but on the fence about just about everything else.

Why... why are you posting trailers that came out two months ago?

Ah well. I guess it is time we discussed some actual Lufia, right? Now that it's actually time for a new game.
I think most of the characters have been done pretty well. Some characters like Maxim take some getting used to, but oh well. This is a new version, after all. You can't expect everything to stay the same.
Still, I don't like Guy. He's too... exaggerated, I guess. Too over the top. The old Guy liked to brawl, but he still had a calm side as well. This guy looks like he spends all day smashing up things.

The voice acting's pretty good. I'd say it all looks promising.

Because no one else posted it?

I can't tell if the voice acting is good. Voice acting has to be REALLY good (or REALLY bad) in another language for me to be able to tell the difference from average.

I'm not so sure I like the fact its on the DS. The one thing I hate most about the DS is those CRAP tinny speakers. Nintendo seems to be falling behind in speaker technology. The speaker on the wiimote is not only unnecessary weight, the quality is worse than fucking virtual boy. What happened to the days of SNES and N64 with their revolutionary sound system designs that pushed the envelope of what a console could do? WHAT, I ASK YOU, WHAT?!

Right on, Arus.

Maybe I haven't been exposed to enough games, but all I hear the DS doing is making crappy 'WHOOSH' and 'SWOOP' sounds to simulate swords and arrows. Remember when you first put Twilight Princess in your Wii and swung your sword only to get the worst fucking sound ever coming out of the Wiimote? Do you remember how FUCKING FAST you turned the wiimote speaker off? Yeah, that's all I hear with the DS. I don't own one, so maybe I haven't seen the pile of gold people keep shoving up their asses insisting the DS is the greatest thing ever.

By and by, whatever happened to that PSP everyone was all gaga about for exactly 3 days?

You can turn off the wiimote speaker? I need to look into that.

The PSP is still kicking, although nobody cares about it. Why would you want one when you can get a modded DS?

The Wii was one step forward for motion control, two steps back for video games. No support for HD? A controller with four buttons? Ever since the N64 Nintendo keeps getting it wrong. I don't think many people would care if Nintendo took a back seat to the console scene and just focused on making games. For the PS3 and 360.

Capcom refused to make a Wii version of Street Fighter IV because "they'd have to make too many concessions to the quality of the game", but now they're releasing a iPhone version. What does that tell you.

It tells you the Wii sucks and loses more third parties every day. Even third parties that went bankrupt in 1995 are on record saying they probably won't be developing games for the Wii.

Wow, the PSP lasted 3 days? The PSP Go was in the limelight for at least 2 hours.

I lost faith in the Wii when I saw Soul Calibur Wiirarded version (SPLITSCREEN FIGHTING GAME... WHAT THE FUCK WERE THEY THINKING!?!?!) and Force Unleashed. I had high hopes, but those games proved to me the Wii won't be able to do all the things we dreamed of, like perfect control. It's simple when you think about it, really. If you swing a lightsaber and it connects, your wiimote doesn't stop, you keep swinging, making a disconnect in where your hand is vs your character's. The only two ways to remedy that are to slow the sword/lightsaber fighting down A LOT, or make it so the wiimote only takes basic commands, like swing up, swing left, swing down. Hence, Soul Calibur and Force Unleashed.

Interesting how nobody's talking about the new Lufia game anymore. It's out, remember? Enough discussion about complicated TV stuff.

Anyways... I got the game, and it's pretty good, definitely worthy of being a Lufia game. They changed some story things, some of which are hard to follow in Japanese, but it's still fun to play.
