REDMASK'S PROFILE

So Rayman is probably DLC in Smash

There was some leaks about it recently. It's possible that they could be fake but they seem really legit.

Personally I'd rather see Simon Belmont, Shantae, or a Moogle/Blackmage.
But oh well. At the end of the day I get to play as Shulk so Nintendo can throw in whoever they want lol.

What's your opinion on Rayman being in?

Update: I looked into it more it's probably fake. Sorry.

A new way to Review

I was thinking I might sign up for that Strawberry Review Jam and that got me thinking about how reviews on this site are structured.

Many sites give number scores for their reviews but some people on the internet are changing to different systems.
For example the youtube show GameExplain ranks there games by simply saying either they Loved it, Liked it, Disliked, or Hated it. (Thats not the exact lingo but essentially its like that.)
I wonder if a system like this has ever been considered for this site.
If I do a review I will use the score system but I feel like these number based reviews are becoming old fashioned.

I know there is an option to not put in a score but I don't think that helps the game dev much.

Terranigma will blow your mind!

Last year I beat Illusion of Gaia. This year I started playing Terranigma I've only just gotten to the surface world in chapter 2 but dear lord is this game already awesome. Chapter 1 of the game involved me reviving the continents of the earth. Each of the 5 dark towers I concurred resurrected a continent. So after every level you would see South America reborn, then Africa, and etc. I knew before playing that I'd be reviving the world but I didn't think that would just be the opening to the game.
But here's what really blew my mind. Before going to the surface world I remembered there was two side quests I could do, but for this topic I just want to focus on one of them. Now, when I went there I was expecting to maybe get a new piece of armor or maybe a good weapon; you know the kind of thing you expect a video game's side quest to give you.
When I finished this side quest text on screen appeared saying "On this day Polynesia was reborn."
Holy crap! I just did a side quest that revived a whole damn archipelago!
Tell me when have you done a side quest that has something like that as a reward?

Screenshot Question

I'm working on some hand drawn stuff that I plan on implementing into my game.
So I think I know how to change the main image for my game, I went to edit image and it had an option for changing the main image, but now I'm wondering something else.

Can I change the 4 display images on the games main page?
I like the current ones but I may want to swap one or two out for a different screen shot once I post the game's update.

Looking for Advice on Updates

In the near future I hope to release a major update to my game.
Despite having used the site for months I'm still a bit of a newb on certain things.
A friend of mine suggested that instead of a simple update of editing the current download, I should delete the current version and upload a whole new one. He said that when you add a new download the game gets featured on the front page.
The downside is that it deletes the game's download count.
Are there any other downsides or upsides to this that I should be aware of.
Like do I have to resubmit the screenshots? Since its still the same gamepage I assume not but, I don't know? I hope the old comments stay there I really appreciate the comments people have left on the page. I know that probably sounds ridiculous but again I don't really know much about how this site works.

I trust my friend's opinion but I think it's a good idea to see what others think.

I'm also concerned that if I go this route, that the game might do worse than last time since the older versions' reviews will still be there (I'm pretty sure) and perhaps make the game less appealing.

When the update comes out I plan to post replies on those reviews that mention that I have fixed the issues that the reviewers had but that won't change the scores. And my guess is most people won't bother noticing my replies to the reviews.
I'm also planning on asking some people on the site to review the game once the update arrives but those reviews could take a while and during that time the game would be on the front page with outdated reviews.
Please don't take that the wrong way everyone has a right to their opinion, and frankly I'm glad I got the reviews because they allowed me to create a better game. I'm just saying that by the time my update arrives those reviews will be outdated for the most part.

So, now that you know my situation what do you all think is the best way to release a major game update.

Zelda Wii U

Did you see the new gameplay trailer for Zelda Wii U. It's pretty awesome.

I love hearing peoples thoughts on new Zeldas and old zeldas and just Zelda in general.
So post here what you think of the gameplay or what you want to see in the game.

I'm wondering if that new horse vault mechanic can be utilized for puzzles and not just combat.

As for what I want to see, I want there to be diverse towns with unique cultures like Majoras Mask.
I could list more stuff I'd like to see but I'd rant way to long so lets go with that for now.

Zero Suit Samus

I was thinking about the older designs for Samus without armor and man, they just work. They look way better than the current Zero suit in my opinion.

Here is her Super Metroid design
Here's a close up: http://img4.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20130627200806/metroid/images/d/d8/Samus_Aran_Varia_suit_Super_Metroid_Player%27s_Guide_1994.jpg


Here is her Metroid Prime design


Both of those images feel more like the true Samus than the Zero suit design. Plus, Gunpei Yokoi was still around to approve of the SNES design.
I don't hate the new look but I just feel like it doesn't suit Samus as well the more naturalistic older designs. These days she's looking more like an anime character. NOTE - I LOVE ANIME but I don't think the particular anime style that they use for Samus works as well as a more naturalistic look does.

For comparison here's the Zero Suit



What do you think is the best design for Samus?

Do you want her design to go back to her roots like I do or do you prefer the current designs?

As a side note - I like all of the various power suits. They are all bad ass looking. I wish the light suit was an alt costume in Smash.

Experiment status report update: Metroid project 'Dread' is nearing the final stages of completion.

Smash Bros Assit Trophies

I'm really satisfied with the current roster for the new Smash.well I still want Ridley but oh well.I got Shulk to play as and that was my number one pick so I'm pretty happy.Riki is happy happy

So instead I thought lets talk about possible Assist trophies we already know what they are for 3DS but maybe the WiiU version has more.

Personally, I want Xenoblade's Reyn as an assist trophy. He can do the WILD DOWN on an opponent and topple them. It would work like Diddy Kong's banana peel except it would not only make the opponent fall but also do a great deal of damage. After Reyn attacks before he exits he should say: "Good thing I'm here. No? Anyone?"

Another one could be Vivian from Paper Mario. He/She could hide you from the next upcoming attack from the enemy.

If you have a fun idea for an assist trophy post it here.

[Poll] Cute little fat guys from RPGs

I've been playing a lot of Xenoblade and I find the Nopon to be adorable so I figured hey why not make a poll about those little fat characters from RPG games.











I know he's not little but gotta give CT some representation.









I'm aware Persona is a spin off of Shin Megami but I figured people would want both shown. That being said I don't know much about the series so hopefully I was correct in my choices for the game's cute little fat guy.



I was trying to figure out if Tales of and Baten Kaitos have fitting characters but couldn't remember any and find them online. Xenogears and Chrono Cross were excluded since their series are already represented.

I'm sure there are others worth including but this is all I could come up with for choices. I'm sure I forgot some major ones. If I did not list one of your favorites pick the "other choice and let me know about it in the comments.

Riki Sneaky!

HD Xenosaga

So there might be a chance of an HD Xenosaga. Apparently to show so support you are supposed to send a tweet at the designer of the game. I personally have never done that whole twitter thing but I am interested in the HD remake. I'm a Xenogears and Xenoblade fan and I've always wanted to play Xenosaga but never got a chance to. Maybe I'll buy the HD remake, if it ever gets made. Anyway, just figured I'd share since I'm sure there are other Xeno fans on the site.
