The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time 3D may not possess a boundless cornucopia of new features over its Nintendo 64 predecessor, but Nintendo revealed one neat gameplay mode in a press release published earlier today. After reaching a certain point in the game, players will access the "Boss Challenge" mode, which will "provide players with the opportunity to face any of the previous Bosses they have defeated once again, or, the option to face and confront them one-by-one, all in a continuous battle."

Oh, you mean we'd have to pummel Queen Gohma, King Dodongo, Barinade, Shadow Ganondorf, Volvagia, Morpha, Bongo Bongo, Twinrova, Ganondorf and Ganon all in one sitting? That's a whole lot of weak points to exploit, but we're pretty confident that we can handle it.

cool, also it's Phantom Ganon you *crag*waffles

I never thought of that, and I kinda wish it stayed that way.

so i was just hoping around google and decide to look for something about the "Project Cafe"(codename for the wii2) and came across this article from 2006 when the nintendo revolutin got renamed the nintendo wii, heres what people had to say about it:

"Wow, that's probably the worst video-game-related name I've ever heard. Ever.

I'm with all the other people who are thinking of really bad jokes when they hear "Wii." Sheesh. If you have to explain how the stupid name is supposed to be pronounced, you need to change the name.

I liked "Revolution." It's a little long, but fits the system pretty well.

Nintendo can forget about me buying one of these systems."

I do love idocy don't you

The Wii did not live up to the name "Revolution", I'm glad they didn't use it.

Retro reflects on Donkey Kong Country Returns, denies sequel plans

Posted by Joystiq Mar 04 2011 21:00 GMT in Donkey Kong Country Returns

- Like?

gameinformer.com

If Nintendo is following up Donkey Kong Country Returns with sequels like it did the original Donkey Kong Country, it's not doing so right now. Nintendo producer Kensuke Tanabe, who works with DKCR developer Retro Studios, told Game Informer, "I wouldn't say we won't do a sequel, but we don't have anything planned at this time."

In a postmortem panel at GDC on the development of last year's sucessful DKCR, Retro revealed the difficulties of making the side-scroller. The team attempted to adapt the Metroid Prime morph ball camera to the side-scrolling, but found it unable to handle the quick and complex movements of the DK characters -- especially once Tanabe insisted that two-player simultaneous play be added.

There are over 2000 animations for the player character, a number inflated by the second character -- and by the late-stage suggestion from Shigeru Miyamoto that Donkey Kong be able to blow on background items to reveal secrets. Miyamoto was testing the game, running back and forth for about ten minutes, when he declared that Donkey Kong appeared to be exhaling when he turned around. And then, he said that "it might be fun to make Donkey Kong blow on things," causing extensive damage to Retro's metaphorical tea table.

And the Super Guide -- "oh, jeez," one of the team exclaimed when that subject came up. It turns out that Retro had to rewrite the engine to make it deterministic -- make it that all the inputs would result in the same output every time, essentially eliminating randomness. This turned out to be a boon, however, as the same mechanic that allowed the team to record playthroughs also made it easy to reproduce bugs in testing.

Retro ended its panel by joking that it would like to refresh the Doki Doki Panic (Super Mario Bros. 2) series next, along with making a "Pokemon Prime." "We've been looking at Tingle a lot," as well.

Microsoft takes measure to counter alleged Indie Games ratings manipulation

But a Doki Doki Panic sequel would be cool. Also, hello one month ago.

Microsoft has disabled Xbox Live "Free" members' ability to rate Marketplace content on Xbox.com in an apparent effort to curb ratings manipulation. The announcement was made on the XNA Game Studio Team Blog and was specifically addressed to the Indie Games Community.

"By implementing this change, we believe our customers will experience more consistent ratings and a significantly reduced potential for abuse across the entire Xbox catalog," said the statement. "We have also investigated rolling back suspect votes, however, we determined it will not be possible to do this."

Several weeks ago, developers of some of the top-rated Indie Games suspected foul play when their games began to slide down the Top Rated listing after receiving, by one developer's count, "hundreds of 1 star ratings" in a single week. While the XNA Team conceded that it would be unable to take away such seemingly unwarranted ratings, it did add that "we are investigating users who may have violated their user agreement during this series of events."

"Violating user agreements may result in actions up to and including banning from Xbox Live, removal of currently posted games, and loss of ability to post games in the future," the statement continued.

A few Indie Games developers have expressed gratitude, as reported by Armless Octopus, for Microsoft listening to their concerns and taking action. (Historically, it's been a somewhat rocky relationship between the two sides.) While limiting rating powers on Xbox.com to paying Gold members would seem to thwart the most egregious attacks and manipulation of content, it does not solve some of the other issues with the system; most notably that a user need not play, let alone purchase, content to rate it.

just looking at that damn fortresscraft picture makes me angry

way to piss me off again microsoft, blatainly ripping off one of the most popular indie games of the last decade, and just the damn name itself is a shameful ripoff

Idea for a minecraft server that I'd like to host

Seeing as minecraft 1.5 was just released today, I figured now is a great time to put to work the idea I had for a new server

heres how it goes:

every week or so (time limits still being considered) I or one of the mods will announce a build challenge

now what this is is we set a theme, for example: midieval europe, and for whatever amount of time we have set, let it be a week(most likely), a month, or anything inbetween, you will build. once the time limit is up I will walk through the server, possibly livestreaming it, and see all the creations you have built within the given time. of course you don't have to participate in the build challenges, you can still build freely anywhere except the site that we will have set up for the build challenge which will be reserved for projects based on the chosen theme and not just random things.

well what do you all think? Sound like a good idea?

let me just clear something up

once we are done with a build we move on to the next, but that doesn't mean you can't keep working on it

previous builds WILL NOT BE ERASED

What we do is have a build challange in an area that fits it's theme, then move onto another area that fits the next theme

the old build site an all the projects in it WILL NOT BE ERASED, and you can still work on projects all you want and start new ones in the old builds if you want

not likin' the building themes thing, but a server might be coo'
