all right guys I know as the PC masterace that we like to thump on the
nextg consoles a little bit but everyone seems to be fairly okay with Nintendo
and Wii U so we wanted to cover some games while we're here we use game
libraries a lot stronger than the next gen consoles anyways and they have tons
of new games coming on the way for example they have bayetta 1 and two
Kirby and the Rainbow Curse Yoshi's woolly World Captain Toad treasure
Tracker smash for 3DS and Wii U Mario
Party 10 Mario versus Donkey Kong Hyrule Warriors Mario maker and finally
Splatoon if that's not a crazy lineup I'm not sure what is and we're going to
check out a few of them here so stay tuned first off is Smash and I expect
everyone to care about this the most there's coming out on Wii U and 3DS and
2ds or whatever um but I'm going to start out with Wii U so on the Wii U
it's it's a very nice experience extremely smooth the animations are
great the freeze frames on different attacks are awesome really really nice
experience I had a great time if you're interested in negatives though I talked
to some pretty high level competitive players I actually played against some
of the Invitational guys for the tournament that was here and I got some
feedback from them in terms of negatives everyone knows this game is going to be awesome so what are the downsides they
said it would be nice if they could reduce lag on aerial moves if they could
reduce boundaries so you die a little bit earlier when you get thrown off
uh if you there was more options for moves out of Dash and if there's more
combos out of throws interesting feedback not stuff that I necessarily
notice because I'm kind of a noob but if you are a pretty high level smash player
that's what the competitive guys are saying so that might matter to you but that being said all of these things seem
pretty easy to fix so if they are actually major problems and Nintendo
does seem to be taking feedback there's developers walking around this whole time talking to people they can fix
these things fairly easily I do believe so I wouldn't be too worried about it
then we come to Mario maker in Mario Maker you're able to take any of the
general elements that would be in a platform or Mario game and build your
own level out of it again I got to play with some of the the competitive players
from Smash and they made some pretty insane levels that were almost
unbeatable but we were able to get through it and then I played myself and
made a level that I I felt was actually kind of realistic but still very
difficult and it's it's amazing how smooth and easy it is having all of the
possible options being able to easily extend pipes and make them whatever size
you want and just very simple instructions being able to flip
graphical styles from a classic to a more modern style and any of that kind
of stuff is a lot of fun it's amazing how in-depth this game is for how early
in development it is one thing I asked about was if you were going to be able
to download Community Maps so if someone made a map that was really popular you'd
be able to download it not necessarily implemented yet but they've had a lot of
that feedback so far so I wouldn't be surprised if they had it in the final
release of the game next up is Yoshi's wh world it was a lot of fun it's kind
of like a cuter game but it's not as easy as you might expect right off the
bat I got a warning from the guy that was sing right right there that some people take it don't take it too
seriously and then just get completely owned so I went in pretty seriously and
it wasn't actually that easy it's a lot of fun the different mechanics in the
game are very surprising and if you're a fan of Yoshi like I am for sure I play
Yoshi Mario Kart 8 all the time you're probably going to enjoy the game it's
kind of like having Yoshi permanently when playing Mario there are very
interesting ways that it includes the the yarn style you have a certain amount
of yarn that can follow at any time and you can use them as projectiles to break
through different parts of the map and manipulate the map at as you go forward
