People around the net have given over 160,000 hearts and still nothing.
Rumors say that you get something at 500,000 or a million, but y'know, rumors. People will say anything to troll.

Could be the lowest scored game on metacritic to win GOTY on gaf
no chance in hell, out way too early and a nintendo handheld game, there will be some boring spiderbatmancodbethesdaoblivion game in the fall that will get it.
but at this moment i'd definitely vote for it. and i'd be surprised if it moves out of my top 2-3.
Well, I think we can at least say with certainty that Mass Effect 3 won't be in the running
although it was a really good game... mostly
KI:U GOTQ (quarter)
Someone made the comparison before, but it's really like Tengen Toppa Icarus Lagann. Every time you think you can't be surprised any more you are, once again, surprised.
So I beat the game. It was a long wait, and I even doubted the game at some points... but.
I can say without a doubt that is the best handheld game i've ever played. Yes it has surpassed even the all powerful DS games of old for me, its just THAT good. I'm still reeling, and there are a couple of things I have to do, but damn the game is too good.

Oh i see, none of you two guys have reached Chapter
18
You're in for a realy surprise there.
If you Surf behind the S.S. Anne and use Cut on the truck's tires then move it with Strength, then donate 1 billion hearts to Palutena, you get Mew.
Grumble... The near universal opinion of this thread is that the controls have a steep initial learning curve, but then they come to feel totally natural and perfectly suited to the gameplay.
After about 8 hours of play time I give the controls an A rating, though I admit that they bothered me for my first half hour of play.

Currently polling second in Australia's federal election (first in the Gold Coast), this feral may one day be your Bogan King.
Dialogue is by far the best part of the game. It's consistently hilarious, crazy and full of wisecracks. Nobody is safe from the stupid, including the characters themselves.
Ok, that makes sense. These special weapon types are included in the 108 types, correct? There aren't any secret super special types (that we know of)?
Another question:
Do weapon star ratings refer to the strength of the weapon relative to other weapons of that type (e.g. all palms) or of that specific weapon (e.g. pudgy palms specifically).
Count me among those who would pay money for a detailed weapons guide.
Don't even get me started. I found out about the limited after a day spent at New York Comic-con. Nintendo's booth was absolutely mobbed. I'm sure I could have gotten 100+ tags if I had know about the 10 limit.
God, I already love Street Pass and the only thing I really use it for Puzzle Swap. Now that I'm playing KIU, I will certainly find myself at Nintendo World more often...

I don't get people who don't know that. I'm pretty sure I knew it day 1.
The first situation I was in with lots of people to streetpass with (GenCon) I went in and out like 5 times collecting passes.

make sure you go the longer route not only to hear what I thought was interesting dialogue between Pit and Palutena, but you get to see an absolutely amazing scene that follows that you don't see if you go the other way.

I am pretty sure there are no super secret types.

Strong words. I'm not sure I'd say it is better than every DS games out there (Ouendan is still no.1 for me), but I would say that in term of production value, extra, and amount of contents, this game blew everything away by a country mile.
Pretty much. I mean there's no way those other people could have problems.. I just went to casualgamer.com and they gave it a perfect 10.
You won't be dissapointed

everyone's just been too coddled by dual analogue lately, and can't get into the zone necessary to get kills in this game.
It'll be easy if you play it on 5.0 or less.

Ugh. Not sure I cared much for chapter 5.
I found some parts of the environment hard to interpret, visually speaking. Fell down bottomless chasms a number of times. Eventually figured out I should be playing with the 3D turned up, but even that didn't solve it completely.
Pandora/Dark Pit dialog was entertaining, though.

Err, I don't think that answers my question, though I may just not be understanding the translation.I am pretty sure there are no super secret types.

Unique to that specific weapon.
This game makes me question my masculinity.

Okay this is stupid.
Chapter 19
At a certain point at the tower you have to cross some paths with gusts of wind trying to blow you off. I can't seem to cross the last one. Help please
I don't think it's anything more complex than standing at the end closest to the wind's source and then dashing. You can dash against it in order to gain a little leverage and aim yourself a bit better toward the platform on the other side of the wind, if that helps any.
Wow. Weapon fusing just became that much more confusing.

Yeah, I changed the person I was quoting to the other guy who asked a more relevant question.
But it's still partly relevant...Basically it says that stars increase the weapon's percentage of its original power. Every weapon has its own strength stat and stars increase that by a percent. Some weapons are better than others even among the same type.
Tell me about it! I had an awesome 5/5 star weapon, got bored of it and fused it into something with better abilities (but lost stars) and now I can't do the first level at 9.0 difficulty anymore
.I also have tons of weapons just sitting there waiting to be fused with the right weapon to retain the right abilities I want to pass down. :S (I would REALLY like to keep +6 defence, while also increasing the star power of the weapons)

Chapter 5. I had no idea.

I had no self control and finished the game in basically one sitting, so i'm finding it hard to compose my thoughts but all i can say is wow. probably the best cast/dialogue I've had the pleasure of listening to in a videogame since ...well last year but thats not the point. The controls weren't nearly as "bad" as people had me expecting and the plot... it was basically like a a saturday morning cartoon / anime but with every chapter/"episode" being more bigger and surprising than the last. The gameplay , weapon options and betting system is top notch as well.

It is a bit difficult if you're left-handed.
Otherwise, I agree entirely. My wife played for the first time last night and did just fine. I thought to myself: "My wife is better at videogames than Jim Sterling." Aw yeah!
hahahahahaha.
Playing the hardest difficulty is like pulling out your own intestines and letting them be feast upon by hungry tigers

I'm pretty sure he's talking about the difficulty of the game, not the controls.
Go ahead, pour all your hearts in the fiend's cauldron. Slide it up to 9. What's the worst that can happen.

The cool thing about making a game with this much variability in difficulty is that you can appease the hardcore fans by making the hardest difficulty absolutely ridiculous and no one can get upset about it.
