Disco Stu 15,495 Posted June 14, 2017 Share Posted June 14, 2017 "Developer Diary" video from the director of Super Mario Odyssey. Their "no bad ideas" approach to designing Mario is very cool. It shows in the imaginative variety of visual and gameplay mechanics. I love how they seem to have taken inspiration from Banjo-Kazooie, where grabbing the main collectible (jiggies in B-K, moons in Odyssey) is just part of exploring the level and you keeping playing after getting one. It's a big departure from the 64-Sunshine-Galaxy approach of taking you out of the level between stars. Oh! And here's one for Metroid: Samus Returns Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jay 37,417 Posted June 14, 2017 Author Share Posted June 14, 2017 The treehouse footage of them playing those two games while talking with the developers is good too It's cool how they're reaching into Mario's past from all over the place for details in the new game Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Disco Stu 15,495 Posted June 15, 2017 Share Posted June 15, 2017 Watching a demo of Splatoon 2 single-player on Treehouse Live right now. This looks really fun, can't wait to get it next month. Sidenote, I watched the live chat on the Youtube Treehouse stream for about 30 seconds and it was like staring directly into the Untempered Schism.

I got the first Injustice game on the PC for 5$. It's a lot of fun,like Mortal Kombat X but a bit more accessible. The Spider-man game looks very cool. I only play 1-3 PS4 games a year, that will definitely be one of them next year. 6 minutes ago, Quintus said: Quite odd how this has turned into the Nintendo YouTube videos thread.

I've posted a couple of videos of gameplay demos for games I'm interested in that others might be too. Obviously, Jay is the main other person around here who's as big a Nintendo fan as I am but you never know! There might be others! Basically, this isn't a thread just for you.

Disco Stu 15,495 Posted June 17, 2017 Share Posted June 17, 2017 I deeply apologize for posting another Nintendo video, but hey! This time it's a cool design analysis, not a trailer or demo. This is really good analysis of the level design of the brilliant and underrated Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze for Wii U. Underrated even among Nintendo fanboiz! IMO, it's probably the best game in the series (or at least tied with the old DKC2). It's also balls hard. The Dark Souls of 2d platformers This guy's videos are all pretty good, check out his channel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are good motion controls and there are gimmicky motion controls. To argue otherwise you're either (a) ignorant or (b) very concerned with seeming cool/jaded. The motion controls in Breath of the Wild and Splatoon are perfect. Admittedly, I haven't played Arms yet so I can't say in that case, but I do know that they're optional in all three of these games. So I think it's a little disingenuous to insinuate that Nintendo's still "all in" on gimmicky motion controls. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sure, I pretty much only play Nintendo games for that 5-10% but on average I play games for less than 2 hours a week over a year. Just with spikes when a big game comes out. I'm a casual gamer.
