Not to mention the current consoles copying the wii's motion control...
Wow. Yahtzee enjoying a Nintendo game, haven't seen that in a while.
I just might get this game, it does sound fun.
Also, I have to ask: who is that bored looking guy with the curly hair you seem to use in almost every episode?

I'm not getting into the Mario vs Luigi thing. I've always loved both brothers.
Anyway I had a feeling Yahtzee would be all over this one like jam on toast.

I dunno if he'd like Fire Emblem much. Isn't he on record as not enjoying games with weapon degradation?
Then again, it's been a long while since that particular review.

Also he likes Luigi more then Mario?
Holy crap am I in some sort of DC universe that has gone a route with unexpected twists?
Ether way, this was a nice video and the humor made me chuckle quite a bit
Yahtzee liked a Nintendo game? Why are people acting like this some great revelation? He actually likes quite a few things Nintendo has done, if you've been paying attention. In fact, what I like about this review is that it's a kind of culmination of the pleasant attitude he's had toward not only Nintendo, but the Mario franchise itself.
Look, Yahtzee doesn't hate the Wii (and Wii U) because he hates Nintendo; he hates them because he thinks they're gimmicky and stupid. Yahtzee doesn't hate Smash Bros. because he hates Nintendo; he hates Smash Bros. because he thinks fighting games are shallow and uninteresting, Smash Bros. especially so. Yahtzee doesn't hate Super Mario games; he just feels they've become staid, overused nostalgia traps, however competently made. He doesn't hate Zelda games, only the new ones that don't add very much (he actually liked Wind Waker and kind of liked Twilight Princess). I could go on.
And even if he did hate Nintendo, there is ZERO evidence to suggest that he hates them as a company more than Microsoft or Sony (quite the reverse, actually). I just wish fanboys on either side would just shut up bitching about things so much. A large part of why I can't take the video game industry seriously is the fans.
On a related note, I definitely agree that Mario spinoff games are much more appealing than the mainstream titles these days. They're quirkier, more creative, got more personality, bolder art styles, better humour, more story...Hey, Nintendo, when 2nd party companies are doing Mario Bros. better than you, you're doing it wrong.

Or perhaps he's just afraid of getting burned by the PS4, NextBox, and women, so the alternatives are starting to appeal to himCopper Zen said:
And honestly, the way things are looking, Nintendo may be my console of choice this gen. At least they still care about making game FUN. Also, great vid! I always felt bad sacrificing yoshi for double jumps. Not bad enough to stop doing it, but still felt guilty.
Completely agree with the Gamecube controller, the only controller my hands love hugging. It's a shame the Gamecube didn't get more love though I reckon that's because it was competing against a giant with an amazing library.
And funnily enough I didn't want to buy the 3DS because it's so thin and sharp.

The innuendos in this video are strong.
Glad to see you liked it Yahtzee, guess the praise this game got are quite true, which happens not very often.

You know...I'm really thinking that I should sell my Vita for a 3DS XL. I can play Zero Escape on the 3DS now, I really don't need portable Ninja Gaiden games, and I can sacrifice what Golden adds to Persona 4 in order to have Luigi's Mansion, Fire Emblem, Etrian Odyssey, SMT games, etc. Not to mention that I wouldn't need to re-purchase my regular DS library in order to play them on the 3DS. I think I'm ready to pull the trigger on this.
"They're afraid to show that Mario doesn't like peas, in case they lose the entire pea-loving demographic."
I liked the first Luigi's mansion, mostly because I've always been a fan of the ghost house levels in the regular Super Mario games. As such, it seems like this is the game for me.
I can admi that Nintendo hasn't made a lot of new franchises in a while, but they're not opposed to new properties coming down he 3rd party pipe.
Which is why I'm glad for the Pro Controller, as it means that 3rd parties who don't want to deal with the tablet or wiimote don't need to.

Ah, I only know of a fraction of what you feel.klaynexas3 said:
I am currently playing on casual since I am new to the whole series, but don't worry I will turn off casual mode when I play it for a second time!
funny thing, I got my avatar (Shorn) to pair up with Nowi, and damn ... all the power. o.o
But yeah it is a damn good game so far.
*Ahem* I should say something about the review so the mods don't kill me.
The sucking off jokes were top quality my dear fellow Yahtzee.
I may buy it for the multiplayer.
There are more dick jokes in this series than I've come up with in my entire life, and we use to have contests in Jr. High to see who could come up with the most in one sitting.

It could've at least been BUY the book, so I could turn it into a clever Mogworld/Jam reference. Curse you, you creativity-stifling captcha!

I'm thinking that door is probably more of a post-Psycho shower curtain by this time.strumbore said:

Y'know the two conditions that would have lead me to buying the 3DS were a new Fire Emblem game that was actually good, a port of Disgaea 2, and hopefully the release of a successor to Grasshopper Manufacturer's "Contact." I'm curious about the new Fire Emblem and would like to see a Yahtzee review of it though. I've been a fan of Fire Emblem for a long time. Especially the GBA title simply labeled "Fire Emblem." Aside from The Walking Dead's Clementine, Nino is the only child in gaming i wouldn't shoot in the face the moment i saw her.
