I understand that Nintendo has revolutionised gaming as we know it, but a couple of new franchises couldn't hurt matters, right?Towowo2 said:
Mario Could Get His Own Epic Yarn Game

I have to say, it might be better if for the next character they came up with a similar but different art style.
Mario gets Paper, Kirby gets Yarn, and for the next one they can go with, say, modeling clay.

Honestly I'd love to see yarnified Resident Evil. Not that I'd buy it - at least not at full price - but it would be hilariously awesome.Space Spoons said:
Oh oh! Then we can have Super Craft Materials Bros. (Yes I know someone already made a smash bros joke in this thread, eat me.Space Jawa said:
) Though I would not be against modeling clay.I agree with this sentiment, but to be fair: Epic Yarn was new. And while it's likely Nintendo will make some sequel involving yarn, it will probably stick to Kirby: this sounds to me more like a game dev who wanted to work on a cool idea than, say, an Activision PR person telling us how there will be seven new COD titles next year.Super Toast said:
I'd actually hope it won't be quite that bad. Truthfully the idea is a little too cutesy for me as it stands now. I would however be more interested if they say decided to bring more serious characters like Solid Snake, or Samus into that kind of a colorful "fairy tale" world to resolve problems in their trademark ways just for fun.Romidude said:
Sort of like old jokes and wierd one shot comics about say Rambo taking on the scenario from "The Wizard Of Oz" or Judge Dredd in Wonderland. Typically ideas in that vein only work for one shots (and tend to be fairly predictable) but it would have an unusual amount of potential for a video game, as gamers do seem to take a certain amount of joy from seeing cutesey, kiddy type things meet with horrible fates. Heck there was an entire game called "Raze's Hell" based around that.
Try and envision "Kirby's Epic Yard" instead with Solid Snake or Big Boss and throat cutting and heavy weapons usage being standard problem solving devices.
Maybe I'm just too depraved, but that's oddly where my hopes would lie, and what it would likely take to get me to buy one of these games. >
Then again I'm also the guy who thought they should have actually made a game out of the old Electric Ferret joke/Vs. comparison where they had "Kraven The Hunter goes to Pokemon Island".
Everyone relax. They're not going to make a game called Mario's Epic Yarn.
It's funny. There are people like you and then there are tons of people who say Nintendo should go back to their GC controller and go with HD. The truth is that on top of being one of the (IMO the best) best developers out there, Nintendo is arguably the most innovative and creative in their hardware and software alike. They have about 25 different franchises....none of them are a turd shooting game, most of them are exceptional, and some of them are among the greatest of all time.Super Toast said:
Just to be clear, yes and no. First off, this game (Epic Yarn) is just another installment in the formulaic remakes of their classics (albeit with a cool visual style) just like the infinite installments of Zelda, Metroid, Mario, etc. So in that sense, no I am not criticizing it for something it hasn't done yet, because they are already doing it. Although a small minority of these remakes may be fun, most of them are just short term enjoyment and nothing new, and have little to no replay value, for me. There are fewer exceptions to this observation than there are examples.Tim Latshaw said:
And also, they are discussing revamping old games in this epic yarn visual style, most notably Mario as per what the entire article was about. In that sense, yes I am criticizing them for something they haven't done yet, but my opinion isn't any less valid than someone who is saying they want to see more games in this visual style. After all, the entire article is them just tossing around an idea, and that's all I can really comment on, whether or not I like the idea.
So is it wrong to criticize something that is only being tossed around as an idea? Maybe, maybe not, but as I stated as my own personal opinion I am sick of nintendo doing this. This is why I sold my wii, as I felt there wasn't any new exlcusive content on it that I felt made the console worth keeping. Just remakes of old games.
Any more questions?
No because a game called Yoshi's Story used fabric way before Little Big Planet.Snotnarok said:
