Out of No Where...A New Nintendo Direct. TOMODACHI LIFE

Well this certainly came out of no where. We were all still talking about the Smash Bros Direct, when suddenly Nintendo decides to pop this one out of the blue.

thoughts?

Not interested, plus I don't think Sakamoto is a very good game designer or producer

@FireEmblem_Man: But...The Virtual Boy man!

So... it's the Sims?

yeah, but you really have no control of what the miis do from what I'm reading.

You can dictate what they wear or eat though.

The weirdest Direct I've ever seen. That was awesome lol.

All hail the virtual boy!

The WiiU gets shunned again. *sigh*

What did I just watch?!?

Virtual Boy is a flop, and should be forgotten in Time and Space for Nintendo.

Damn, I did not see this thread. Sorry Legato D:

Is this the best the 3DS has to offer?

"I have feelings for Princess Z. I've got to tell her!"

I'm trying not to laugh while watching.

People get excited for this shit? No wonder the Wii U is dead.

Tell us all how mature and manly you are, PinkieWinkie

It looks divine.

@freedomfreak:

Is this what you bought a 3DS for? LOL sheep.

I'm sorry. I'm drowning in masterpieces.

@freedomfreak:

Like Resident Evil Revelations, now better on consoles?

Jessica Sherawat in 3D>console versions.

WOW...Nintendo has lost their minds. I kinda like it.

@freedomfreak:

Better in HD.

Don't...no one can talk smack about the 3DS or it's line up. So I'm gonna stop you right there before you embarrass yourself further.

Stop it now.

@freedomfreak:

Make me.

I don't wanna hurt you.

@freedomfreak:

You're defending the 3DS. That's painful enough.

Well I must say one thing, they captured Iwata's work ethic very accurately in this direct.

@LegatoSkyheart: Wow, this game just looks stupid. Sorry, but I already have a life and don't need to play a SImLife game to be happy. Where the hell is StarFox & Metrod Prime games?

Yeah. WTF is Nintendo messing around with new ips? Where are the old familiar games at?

Just how much crack are they smoking at Nintendo these days?

This just seems like a collection of minigames.

.................

*throws hands up at Nintendo and leaves thread*

Ehh, No thanks, im a grown man. if i was 10 years old then maybe i might be interested.

@speak_low: meanwhile the game sold millions in japan and was considered a huge success.

But hey you gotta keep up your salt intake right?

Meanwhile....on Steam.

The 2nd Top Selling Game on Steam.

Ya'll need a sense of humor. Tomodachi Life is not a game meant for Major game play, It's not meant to push the boundaries of Graphic capabilities.

It's just Mindless and Harmless fun and it's supposed to make you laugh.

Just like Goat Simulator which saw a lot of praise and support because of how silly it is.

Microsoft and Sony should embrace Silly games like Goat Simulator or Tomodachi Life.

Yea.

I can appreciate what's trying to be done here, but it's reasons like these that Nintendo's become the joke it has. Good to see such a massive, legendary company be relegated to making what seemingly amounts to mobile-esque and FB type games. You'd think stuff like this would be not put in the main spotlight of what's on offer.

@MirkoS77: except it's not in the main spot light.

This came literally out of no where. It's not like it's going to take away from Smash Bros. or Zelda. This would be like Sony Launching a "My Life" game along with The Next God of War or something.

Game companies can make games like this you know and still make those great games. It just seems to me a lot of people are giving Nintendo flak for this game because it's not The Last of Us or something.

so Animal crossing meets the sims with miis ... this could by a big hit

Probably the most surreal thing I've ever witnessed in my life. Game is almost scary to me...

Not really, especially in Japan. Don't know why you bring other countries when talking about its success in Japan.

@MirkoS77: nintendo has made plenty of quirky games like this in the past. This isn't exactly a new occurrence

Holy shit that was awesome. I didnt think Id ever see something this bizarre yet meta from nintendo
