How is it a new franchise?
The characters look like kingdom Hearts, actually, the female main character looks exactly like Kairi.
And have you seen a video of this game? There´s no reason why this couldnt be done on GBA.

Ok. This is weird. 15 minutes ago I looked at your post history, and saw just great and saw great and sparse open wastelands between here and the post your pictures now thread in january. Now that seems to have all been filled out with plenty of posts. 1000 in the last two months. Did the mods make all your posts invisible, am I hallucinating, or am I in the twilight zone?jarrod said:
I guess they could have tagged your account for post approval, and then just not approved anything for a very long time too.

I'm not certain about jarrod's red flag either. Too much EO love in here. I need to get back to my Kirby's Dream Course.
Anyways, can't wait for tonight.

I guess it was too much for you to ask to spend fifteen seconds to look up the concept of the game before you wandered in here. At least you didn't finish your sentence with "exactly like Kairi... BTW If you haven't posted in my 'I want tits in video games' thread you should!"
Yeah except for the fact that you control two screens/characters at once during battle; one with the D-Pad and one with the stylus...

Sorry (not), but on NDs i expect a certain minimum level of visuals. There is GBA-2D, and there is NDS-2D.
It´s a wonderful world is GBA-2D.

Live with it, IAWW´s visuals are not appealing to me in the slightest.

That doesn't change the fact that the rest of your claims (that this isn't a new franchise and that this could be done on the GBA) are completely asinine.

I don't know if it has to do with the different source for sales data in the last MC threads or if I just didn't notice the reason mentioned in the last threads, but...
can we have the upcoming titles for the next week list back? I miss it :/
it was always nice to see someone posting some strange predictions, look at the list of upcoming titles and think "see you next week again, same MC channel, same MC time!"
Yes, this is on my list of things to do. It simply had to be put on hold due to the transition from "eg" to Gpara. I might have time to re-implement this feature over the weekend.

You have absolutely no idea what you're talking about when it comes to sprites. Please stop.

I live very comfortably with the fact that you incorrectly claimed that the game is not a sufficiently "new" IP (when it is), or that the game could be done on the GBA (when the CORE GAMEPLAY MECHANIC requires the DS).

I dont like the visuals of this game. And i stopped "it" with my last posting, thank your for brining this "discussion" up again
I just played Kirbys Squeak Squad and found its dynamiac sprites much more appealing.

Show me where i wrote that the gameplay could be done on GBA.
I was talking about the visuals all the time.
And of course it´s a new IP, but the characters look a lot like KH, nothign wrong with that.

Not liking the visuals and claiming it can be done on GBA are two entirely different things. I hate Nomura and his "art", but there is some amazing spritework being done on the game that would choke GBA easily.

The last bit of the game i saw could be done on GBA.
Maybe the game has improved since then, then it´s alright.

No, no it couldn't. The size, animation frames and number of sprites are too much for GBA.
Christ.
Dragona Akehi said:
I never really got this mentality behind claiming 2D games like the Castlevanias and this are only GBA-quality in visuals. It's easier to see the comparison with Castlevania because 1) It already has prequels on older hardware and 2) the shameful fact that a lot of sprites are recycled from previous Castlevania games. However to deny the fact that the DS' hardware helps out on a lot of subtle effects and multiple entities present on screen is just ludicrous.
Outside of that I feel we have gotten to a point of saturation with 2D visuals where we can clearly recognize what we are controlling in our games and don't feel that there is much in the way of 2D technology that can be advanced, short of throwing more and more sprites around the screen. This is good because it forces people to diversify their graphic styles to make them unique, and it's something that IAWW does in a quite striking manner.
Whether or not you actually like the style, as Dragona says, means very little to the mere notion that the hardware used to recreate it is "last gen" in quality.
Dragona Akehi said:
I think people these days see a sprite based engine and immediately assume its doable on the GBA.
The GBA is a powerful 2-D platform but it was basically SFC on steriods. Not to mention GBA cartridges are physically unable to store many if not most of the DS titles.

Deku said:
Yeah, just look at the jump from Gyakuten Saibian 3 to Gyakuten Saiban 4.
It looks similar, but it doesn't have the stretching and the sprites have more detail.
I really hope Dewey does decently in Japan. It looks really fun.
I haven't been tracking these as long as most of you. Do Dewey style puzzle/adventure games do very well in Japan? I couldn't think of any games to compare it to, but I'm sure someone here has some numbers of a similar game.

Anyone want to hazard a guess on eventual Wii Sports sales?
I seriously think it could be a five million seller.

Oddly enough, I don't believe DQS's second week sales are unusually low or disappointing. I actually thought it would sell less than that on its' second week, so this is an improvement.
I wish people on here woudl stop saying "You have absolutely no idea what you're talking about"
- It's rude
- It's conceited
- And it's arrogant. They may know 100% more about it than the accuser, but just don't feel like elaborating.
It's an irksome message...
With that said, that was a very unconvincing comparison of Super Princess Peach GBA/DS.

Even if a game takes no advantage of touch, sound, or increased storage space, DS's two screens do give 156% more space to work with than GBA's screen.MasterMFauli said:
It should do that in 3 weeks-ish. The bigger question is whether it will hit 3 this year. (Seems likely to me.)Wii-za said:

Someone who says Subarashiki Kono Sekai is Game Boy Advance-level has no idea what he's talking about. It's not arrogant to say that when someone is spouting factually inaccurate trollish remarks he is full of it. If people don't want to be called on BS like that (or the similar "Eternal Sonata looks like a Dreamcast game") they shouldn't speak to things they're utterly clueless and flat-out wrong about.
LanceStern said:
Umm... I think you need to stop "going with your heart" and stick with the facts and trends. There was no way DQS was selling less than what it did in its second week, and the only reason it sold that low was because it was relatively hard to find.
The reason people are saying you don't know what you're talking about is because you flip-flop too damn much. "It just doesn't feel like it sold well." That's bullshit.
