Support NeoGAF

[Lupin the Third]

I kind of feel the same. I looked through their games, and I didn't really see anything that stood out as high quality. I'm not really sure why people are excited about their involvement. Although, as long as Pen is in charge I can't really see this going wrong.

Shantae GBC
Contra 4 DS
Shantae: Risky's Revenge DSiWare
Aliens DS

These are some of the ones I've seen people praise on GAF. Usually at the least, their sprite-based 2D graphics are pretty rad in motion.

"This game will provide the Land of Ooo experience that young fans will love.”

this statement there kinda scares me i am not young

 

[Criminal Upper]

ugh wayforward

it's gonna be floaty

This makes no sense.

Never played a bad wayforward game, I trust. That's my word. La1n out.

Yet you watch a show aimed at young people.

Batman on Wii was a pretty awesome beatemup.

In general, I think Wayforward makes mediocre games that are fun to look at. Those games you mentioned are really good, though.

Hoping this is some type of Zelda game.

 

[Gameboy415]

Awesome news!!!

I'm curious to see how the 2 versions will differ...

Heck, considering how much I love both WayForward and Adventure Time, I'll probably end up buying both, haha.

[StrikerObi]

Yet you watch a show aimed at young people.

Aimed at young people only because it is on Cartoon Network. This show got it's start as a one-off short on Adult Swim, and for good reason. It's totally kid friendly, but the level of bizzaro humor is through the roof and it's pretty clear that the creators spent a lot of time watching Red & Stimpy and other such shows when growing up.

AT isn't for young people. At the very least, there's a lot of stuff that'll fly over their heads.

I love just about every game WayForward develops. Aliens: Infestation in particular was one of my favourite games of 2011, and I still fire it up every once in a while to fight the epic final battle with my all-female marine squad.

You forgot A Boy and his Blob and Sigma Star Saga on your list, though. Those games were the proverbial bomb.

 

[Seraphinianus]

unlike MLP, there is legitimately hilarious stuff for an older crowd in Adventure Time. and the people who make the show acknowledge it instead of saying "oh well i guess that's neat that they like it...but it's for little girls"

*runs out laughing maniacally*

This makes no sense.

ok then

ugh wayforward

i've never enjoyed one of their games

Is that a bad thing?

 

[Santiako]

OK, now I'm excited.

 

[Skilletor]

It is when complaining that the game is aimed at young people.

Nothing to worry about with Ward's involvement.

It means the gameplay might be a little easier than expected, but with Pen Ward involved at the very least it will be hilarious.

Honestly the dream Adventure Time game would be developed by Double Fine. Pen and Tim are friends (at least, they chatter on Twitter all the time) and their senses of humor match perfectly for this kind of project.

 

[Maedhros]

Yet you watch a show aimed at young people.

This is right, but there's a lot of things in AT that are aimed at adults, references to H.P Lovecraft, hidden penises (i'm not even kidding), gaming references and Death Metal.

I don't really care... this is a killer game for me. One game that can make me get a 3DS earlier than I wanted.

 

[Winnie the Pimp]

I wasn't complaining i said it "kinda scares me"...

I just hope the game won't be too dumbed down in terms of mechanics or something to cater to a young audience, but i guess Wayforward's games SO far have pretty much been universally good and challenging even, so let's hope this turns out well!

 

[ScraftyDevil]

Don't forget about the political rap. Hardcore stuff.

 

[Data West]

I'm still having trouble accepting that I am getting an Adventure Time game by WayForward and a new Illusion game by DreamRift.

It's just... It's just too awesome. My most hyped games for 3DS right now are Western developed and by two awesome 2d western devs.

As I said earlier, IWATA WAS RIGHT! WESTERN SUPPORT IS CATCHING UP, OH MY GLOB!

heh, wh-- wai-- wait, what?

Look, if it's a generally inoffensive, jovial show with a colorful, simple art style, there's a really good chance that it really is either made "for" kids or intended to appeal to them ALONG WITH anybody else. Which is great. And it's great to enjoy it as much as you damn want. But if you can't or don't want to realize that it is on a certain level meant to appeal to children, who in all likelihood will be the ones driving its popularity, then you're entering a dangerous spiral of weak or insane arguments like the above, when all you need to do is go "so what?" and continue enjoying it on your own terms.

Dreamrift, Wayforward...

its only missing Vanillaware to have the holy trinity of 2D on 3DS

Will buy 3DS version.

 

[Trojita]

Oh my glob.

 

[Panthalassic]

I love the show so I'm looking forward to see how this ends up.

 

[ezekial45]

Do we know what kind of game it's going to be? Side-scrolling beat-em-up, or a action/adventure title with RPG elements. I know Ward is a huge gamer, and he's definitely a creative guy. So it'll be interesting to see what kind of game he has envisioned for it.

The press release mentioned "exploring dungeons," so it's most likely an RPG of some kind. Whether it's an action- or turned-based remains to be seen.

 

[SmithnCo]

Okay then. Looks like it's 3DS for me.

 

[ezekial45]

The press release mentioned "exploring dungeons," so it's most likely an RPG of some kind. Whether it's an action- or turned-based remains to be seen.

Well in any case, they've got a ton of potential for whichever play style.

This makes wish for a Regular Show game. If this game does well, maybe WayForward can do that one as well. I'd love to play Regular Show action-rpg in the vein of Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga.

Side Scrolling with dungeons and an overworld maybe? Shantae was kind of like that and this is Wayforward making it.

I would love that. Aside from Dexter, Regular Show and Adventure Time are the only shows I actually watch, so the more love they get the happier I am.

I always imagined a Regular Show game as an old-school beat-em-up in the vein of Final Fight or Scott Pilgrim Vs. the World. It makes sense as that's pretty much the only type of game they play in the show,

 

[Data West]

It's likely the DS version will just have text. I'm hoping they get voice work for the 3DS version.

This is the only thing that would make me go 3DS over DS.

Dat XL screen.

 

[ScraftyDevil]

If they don't, I'll be mighty disappointed. This game needs five things to be great and only five:

1. Voice acting

2. Vast amount of equipment (Gold sword, root sword, demon blood sword, different sweaters, etc.)

3. Jake powers

4. Hunson Abadeer

5. Gunter

Beemo better record your saves.

 

[Mpl90]

Beemo-skinned 3DS is needed.

 

[Dog Problems]

Beemo-skinned 3DS is needed.

I'd pay a crazy amount for that.

 

[Data West]

Beemo-skinned 3DS is needed.

I think you mean LSP themed 3DS. Just add stickers to the midnight purple one

Nickelodeon, not Adult Swim.

Very excite about 3DS version. I really hope that this turns out well and Pen decides to go for a console game next time.

 

[Busaiku]

Trash Princess?

 

[Boney]

I'm still so bummed about this.

fucking wayforward yuck

 

[Acrylic7]

I hope that the creators of Adventure Time can get Nintendo to put out 3 limited edition 3DS's. Would easily sell out.

BMO, Finn and Jake, and Lady Raincorn editions.
Show is insanely popular

fucking wayforward yuck

What's your beef with WayForward? Most of the games they've developed have been bloody brilliant. Have you had a prior bad experience with them?
