If only I had known this was coming a couple weeks ago it could have still played no role in my decision to buy Muramasa for my limited 2D beat em up needs.

Looks awesome... I think this is the good WayForward (at least in the Wii game).
I hope the DS game turns up being great.

according to GAF almost everything 2D looks like flash these days.
what's so damn bad about flash-look anyway?
just because your god-like ipad isn't supporting it, doesn't make it bad
me thinks it looks great. it catches the look of the cartoon.
more 2D love is always good in my book. will get it at a high price

I think it visually looks ok but the gameplay looks pretty, well, pretty much like licensed kid fare. My immediate reaction was "this reminds me of that kim possible ps2 game that everyone said was better than most licensed games but really it was exactly like most licensed games"

So Canary and Plasticman are confirmed too!
Does this mean more than 2 players?
Um... a boy and his blob

WayFoward proves that they are the masters of 2D. The game looksincredible. Sadly it seems to play like shit.
Hopefully my impressions are wrong. After all "A Boy and His Blob" was a great game. Though unlike that game I hope it actually sells decent. So far it seems only Vanillaware is capable of making a high production 2D console game, that isn't a fighting game, turn a profit.
The 2D wave on Wii just doesn't give up.
Wha?
Nobody is complaining about the "Flash-look" because of Apple loyalty, but more so because they want the game to look better than games they play on the internet. Which makes no sense at all, but than again you have people who make comments about Vanillaware's games looking "Flash-like".
Beautiful!

I was referring to the fact that a boy and his blob also looked like a PS2 game but it was actually quite well-done.

Was a puzzle game, cleverly using the jelly mechanics to set up levels.Ookami-kun said:
This looks like a standard brawler, the worry is justified.
Shank looks like a Flash game (not joking). It has that distinct feel/vibe.ultim8p00 said:
Coming from me that's a huge compliment and not an attack. <3 Flash games.

Has there ever been a more redundant title than "The Brave and the Bold"?
It's like saying "The car and the automobile".

Ookami-kun said:
He wasn't referring to the Kim Possible game looking like a PS2 game (he said it actually was a PS2 game) but more so that he stated that it was a licensed game that looked promising but ended up playing like another license game which makes his comparison relevant to this.
Haunted said:
That's a good point.
Then again Wayforward's throw away games rarely have the production values of this.

Ah okay, my bad. But they probably learned their lesson from abahb

The game that sold 4 digits in its first month?
I mean I can understand if you mean critically, but people here are worried that this could just be a cash in license game and if abahb is an example of them reconsidering their financial strategy well...
Again I'm not saying this will suck and is a throw away game to them, in terms of presentation the bar is obviously set quite high. It's just that looking at their track record I wouldn't say anything is a guarantee. I'd be cautiously optimistic at the most.

Who says cash-ins can't be fun? A lot of licensed games were also good, mind you. And a pure arcade beat-em up action is welcome to the table, especially if it carries the humor and pizazz of the show.

I didn't mean it looks PS2-level, and I wouldn't agree about A Boy and His Blob (the lighting from the first screenshot looked better). Like I said, the visuals on this game seem fine.
I mean that the GAMEPLAY looks kinda boring and that it actively reminds me of Kim Possible: What's The Switch for PS2.

That...doesn't make sense. ABaHB didn't sell well, so as a result of that they would now make this game crappy on purpose because crap sells?Flying_Phoenix said:
They've already landed the license, which, lets be honest, is where most of the sales of this game are going to come from. But games like ABaHB show that these guys do have some actual pride as developers, and they enjoy making actual good games, so I'm hoping that they'll take this license and give it a solid game behind it.
(Their past history with licensed games hasn't been so hot, but hey, I can hope)
And licensed doesn't necessarily mean crap. One of my favorite games when I was younger was the Shaman King Metroidvania rip-off for the GBA, and while it wasn't groundbreaking, it was still a solid fun title for my young self.

I thought the puzzle aspects of ABAHB were pretty weak, outside of the puzzles in world 4 involving clones of the boy. The action/platforming elements were a lot better, which should bode well for a pure action game like Batman. It seems silly to judge the gameplay by a series of <2 second clips but the action in the trailer seemed pretty good to me.Haunted said:

It pretty much sums up the tone of the series.

That isn't what I meant.
I stated that in the past Wayforward is known for using license games as cash ins with mediocre quality. Ookami-kun then stated "A Boy and His Blob" as a counter example. That didn't make sense because why would Wayforward all of a sudden put pride in their license games because of that? Not only was it not a license title but it didn't sell well. S it doesn't really send the message that their mediocre license titles need to up the quality for more sales.

Fair enough, I agree that they probably took away "licensed games sell better then unknown IPs", but I don't see how that would relate to the quality of either category though. Licensed games just tend to be crap, but obviously there's nothing fundamental about that.Flying_Phoenix said:
