I played Shantae on Wii U. This game is a good platformer, but there are better games (Rayman Legends, Sonic Lost World...) It is a bit like Action Adventure game, but breaks no ground to make it distinct from other modern platformers.
@JaxonH You probably do not need to sleep that much. After I get old I actually start to feel video games are becoming monotonous... I spent more time visiting video game websites than actually playing them.
Papers please on PC ~ an example how a game with poor graphics wins in its engrossing gameplay. For some reasons i am not really getting into Rare Replay.
The blue ray drive is pretty useless - games are run on hard disk anyway. However, the new console with a disc drive means that players have to buy games on MS store or using download codes. Usually games are cheaper on stores than online.
@KelticDevil I still believe that Japs games have potential. Nintendo is still making Japanese games and they generally sell well. Obviously MS is not planning to quit Japs market - it sells Xbox One in Japan. However, the sales is abysmal - I went to big Japanese game shops recently and many of them do not even hold xbox consoles or games.
As an Asian I tend to dislike Western games. I think Kinect has a huge potential - its motion detection was very accurate but the kinect itself severely underutilized. PS4 also has good Japs game (Dragon Quest). Among the three consoles Xbox One is the weakest in the genre of Japanese games.
@KelticDevil You may head to Nintendo Life or Metacritics for review. Probably play the same anyway as the stellar pont for this game is not graphics but the story and the puzzles.
@KelticDevil I went to Japan recently and the popularity of Xbox One is just abysmal. Wii U and 3DS are the largest sales there, followed by PS3 and Vita. No one cares about the Xbox One console there. Shops may sell only 2 or 3 xbox one games in stores, if they do sell xbox one games. This starks in contrast with the popularity of the console in the West.
Xbox may have tried to port more Japanese games but the number is clearly not enough in Xbox One as compared to Wii U and PS4. Someone tried to ask if there are xbox one games suitable for kids and she was replied with only two games. You mentioned that the quality of Jap games has dropped. I am unsure if I agree but there are some gamers who still like Jap games. To me, American games do not really matter as I do not play them often. (I am an Asian.)
It means that Xbox should not stop making Japanese games. We need more Japanese type of games on xbox one, and the backward compatibility is not going to resolve this.
Kinect is cool. Its games are good but too few. Unlike others, the voice commands did not really work for me well. I, however, really like the accuracy of the motion tracking.
Steamworld was such an interesting game to me. When I first played it I thought nothing special about it. But later it has some very interesting puzzle-solving areas.
I think xbox 360 is similar to xbox one in their controller. However, I just found the controller to be much lighter if I remove the battery and just use the power of the console to supply energy to the controller through usb.
@SuperKMx Well, what updates can do is to entirely replace certain game files where glitches are found.
With good management I still do not see the need to run games from hard disk. Donkey Kong has 10 G and Xenoblade will have a much larger disk size. Games are actually running smoother on Wii U than on Xbox, although this is only my personal experience with the two consoles.

Re: Review: Dark Souls III (Xbox One)
I actually has never played Dark Soul... What does it play like? Equivalence to any of the Nintendo games?
Re: Tekken X Street Fighter On Indefinite Hold
Fighter games are so old... This genre was popularly in SNES and Genesis era, but now...
Re: Talking Point: What Games Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue Eighty Six
@Tasuki Ghouls N Ghosts on Genesis plays like a fast version of Super GNG on SNES.

Re: Multiplayer Stair Climbing Party Title Death Stair Coming to Xbox One
Simple game and look fun. Japanese tv show has such a game for real people running up the stairs.

Re: Talking Point: What Games Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue Eighty
@JaxonH You are probably full-time gamer.
Re: Octogenarians Take To The Track for Coffin Dodgers on Xbox One
How can this game look so blocky, as compared to Mario Kart 8?
Re: Talking Point: What Games Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue Seventy Eight
Dmc Devil May Cry on my PC. The game is so good that I am wondering if I should buy the Virgil DLC or Bayonetta 2.

Re: Talking Point: What Games Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue Sixty Nine
@Tasuki I told people - Sonic Transformed is better than MK8.
Re: Gamescom 2015: Train Simulator Rolling Onto Xbox One
@SuperKMx @PacificMustang Good idea to wait for sales. I am unsure if I like realistic simulation games, but I am sure others like them a lot.
Re: Gamescom 2015: Train Simulator Rolling Onto Xbox One
I like the game Go! Train. How is it compared to Go! Train?
Re: Out Today: Beyond Eyes (Xbox One)
Hopefully as good as Life is Strange.

Re: Xbox One Loses June to PlayStation 4 in US, Wins E3 Week
I will be really happy with my xbox if it has more Japanese titles.
Re: Talking Point: What Games Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue Sixty Four
I played Shantae the Private Curse on Wii U: The game was so easy I beat it already.
Re: Out Today: The Fall (Xbox One)
Played the Wii U version. Extremely good story. Inventive puzzles in an Adventure game. Some of the solutions in the puzzle are insanely fun.
Re: Ubisoft Sales Decline, Xbox One Games Underperforming
I keep looking and looking in the xbox store, trying to find games that I want to buy. The games are mostly too violent for me. I found none.

Re: Xbox Ultimate Game Sale Starts Early
@narcoss Probably a Wii U would be good for him. Xbox one games usually have mature rating.
Re: Out Today: Q (Xbox One)
At least look interesting and original.
Re: E3 2015: Microsoft Says That Kinect Games Are Indeed Still In Development
Kinect is cool. Its games are good but too few. Unlike others, the voice commands did not really work for me well. I, however, really like the accuracy of the motion tracking.
Re: E3 2015: Xbox One Backward Compatibility Confirmed
Great! That will allow us to play those old games and tremendously increase xbox one library!
Re: Oculus Rift to Come With Xbox One Controller, Allow for Xbox One Game Streaming
More interested in Kinect games
Re: As Expected, Darksiders II is Definitely En Route to Xbox One
I am probably the only one here to find the game too longand difficult. I got the Wii u version and I only get it half way through.
Re: pX Asks: What's Your Favourite Open World of All Time, and Why?
I am unsure if it is open world, but Zelda: Windwaker HD's world is so awesome and full of things to explore!
Re: Out Today: SteamWorld Dig (Xbox One)
Steamworld was such an interesting game to me. When I first played it I thought nothing special about it. But later it has some very interesting puzzle-solving areas.
Re: Talking Point: What Games Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue Fifty Nine
Still playing those cheap Humble Nimble games. They will probably occupy me for the entire month.
Re: Deals With Gold Offers Half Price Fitness, Quizzing and Crime Solving
@stylon Amazon sold Shape Up for 14 bucks.
Re: Microsoft Australia Lines Up Indie-Centric Hardware Bundle With New Controller
Smart, particularly because indie games are usually as good as or better than those big games. Never Alone, I heard, is a very good game.
Re: Review: The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt (Xbox One)
I would be very interested in this game if this game has a setting of non-violence.
Re: Talking Point: What Games Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue Fifty Eight
xbox fitness - I am perhaps the only one who plays that.
Re: New Xbox One Controller Seemingly In the Works

Re: Le Tour de France 2015 Gameplay Trailer Breaks Away From the Peloton
I purchased Xbox one just fir Kinect. Have no interest in other games.
Re: Le Tour de France 2015 Gameplay Trailer Breaks Away From the Peloton
I wish that this game would support kinect, with an option of using running to imitate paddling on the bike. That will be a good exercise.
Re: Review: Farming Simulator 15 (Xbox One)
Good writing!
Re: Review: Slice Zombies for Kinect (Xbox One)
The best games on Kinect are probably Dance Central Spotlight and Fantasia. The Fruit Ninja game and this game do not appear to be very interesting.
Re: Review: Mega Coin Squad (Xbox One)
The games look interesting. Not sure how it is compared to Wii U's platformers (Mario, Sonic, Donkey Kong).
