Support NeoGAF

[Deadly Monk]

Ok we need to get a better understanding of this preorder bonus because gamestop has no damn clue apparently.

I preordered the LE there and the gamestop guy didn't know about the bonus, then looked it up and said that the bonus should come with the game.

Now is this true or horse shit? Or is it just gamecrazy offering this, and if they are, can I order from them online to get the bonus or what?

We're getting our preorder slips Friday so anyone who has it reserved can pick it up as soon as they want (Gamestop).

There is a Gamecrazy near me but I don't want to go there. It's in a really shady area and it might be too late to get the preorder bonus.

 

[kuYuri]

Amazon is selling LE of this for $60 rather than usual $70. Great time to preorder.

I checked the GS I had pre-ordered at, and they said they didn't have them still, and that I'd get mine with the game. Gonna be pissed if I'm screwed out of it.

 

[Cirekiller]

We (Gamestop) haven't gotten the preorder bonus yet. At least my store hopefully it comes in Monday. The guides came in yesterday though.

Looks like it was a misprint because I went to buy it and it shows up for $70.

Sweet. Sound like it'd get a 9.4 if he was a fan.

More like you missed out. I ordered it for $59.99 on Wednesday with HSG5.

 

[Totobeni]

so still no one know why the delay in Japan ? ( last J-PR from BNGI was in 31 OCT but also without any release date ) I hope it's not like they will give japan a better version of the game later with more stuff and more extras .

If I recall correctly, the Japanese version will be released in December.

 

[Zoe]

If they wait till December, that makes a good opportunity to push it at Jump Festa.

 

[The-Switcher]

While I'm my interest has dwindled in Naruto since I watch the show when it came out years ago, I still might rent.

Why are there no console Gurren Laggan games?

Be patient. Something is bound to happen sooner or later. Let's just hope it'll be good.

oh they need to do some advertising , isn't easier for them if they put ads with shippuden and the manga ?

1- becuase it will sucks more than the epilogue ( and more than Code Geass game )
2- Konami own the license for the game , so if they made Gurren Lagann before ZOE 3 there will be blood and shit everywhere , everywhere .
3- who care about Gurren Lagann anymore ? we want X'amd the video game on HD system

Probably just differences in the two economic markets. That, or minor technical issues like translation/etc.

This would be day one if I had any money at all.

 

[neojubei]

Does anyone know if Gamestop would have this game tomorrow or Wednesday?

 

[i hate bees]

i could care less about naruto, but christ this game looks graphically amazing

 

[WickedLaharl]

anybody know if this game has support for 1080p upscaling?

 

[NeonZ]

Why are there no console Gurren Laggan games?

Because Konami has the exclusive license but is doing nothing with it...

IGN scored it an 8.4

the basic attacks are noob friendly, but with support characters, recoveries, and various items -- a friend and i have already brought it to a new level that noobs have no chance of competing in. wake-up attacks, unblockables, etc. and our battles are much faster paced compared to what's shown in the video review and any otehr video i've seen.

the fighting engine has depth -- just not in the way most fighters have depth.

the biggest problem that i percieved from the demo was that, ultimately, naruto and kakashi play identically. all their combos are generally the same inputs. so the only variety comes in the form of support characters, items, and special moves. i hope there is more variety among other characters, but i'm not counting on it.

despite that, i have it pre-ordered. i'm not really a naruto fan anymore, but i have a couple friends that will be up for some serious playtime, so that's enough for me.

 

[Angry Grimace]

the proper phrase is "couldn't care less but over the years it loses literal meaning :lol

Well, according to the many videos, some characters are either very slow or very fast. Gaara has longer reach because he uses his sand to attack and defend. Lee is a lightning fast beast and can recover almost instantly from attacks and make a counter move. Add to that 50% more when he opens the Gates. Temari is a hard hitter, her combos are slower than others but each blow packs more of a punch.

Overall I'd say this is one fighting game where I've really seen differently animated and behaving characters.

 

[Issun23]

Just bought the e-guide from Prima Games and... holy crap at all the collectables and items in the game!

Figures

There are 2 for each character, some characters have 3

Soundtrack

There are 28 tracks to buy

Ultimate Jutsu Clips

Every character has at least 1 ultimate jutsu, some 2 and others 3

Items

Items, usable in battle can be bought from shops, "built" on order from the merchant (you'll need to collect the different parts to build these) or earned in battle. Total items: 35.

Ramen

Ramen is used to boost chakra during mission mode. You'll need to find ingredients and deliver them to the Ramen shop before they have effect. Total Ramen types: 20.

Then there's fruit, bugs, vegetables and flowers. All can be either used to make items, or ramen, or sold for money to buy stuff.

Support Jutsu

There are 16 additional jutsu that can be used with support characters. These are unlocked by collecting different scrolls after each successful mission.

There are loads of treasure chests and whatnot scattered throughout Konoha. Some need solving switch puzzles too.

There's also unlockable alternate costumes for some of the characters.

EDIT: Sorry for the double post. =P

 

[GotchaForce]

So you don't have to unlock characters but you do have to unlock the their supers?

 

[Totobeni]

Just bought the e-guide from Prima Games and... holy crap at all the collectables and items in the game!

so is there a mission to hunt Zabuza and his little bitch or not ?

 

[Issun23]

You have to unlock characters and some of the moves, yes.

No Zabuza or Haku. ;_;

The map's frikkin huge.

Oh, and some of the stuff costs 100,000 coins to unlock so be prepared to invest some serious time if you want to unlock everything. (There's dioramas for the figures too.)

Apparentely the manual specifies that apart from support characters there will be more ultimate jutsu and alternate costumes to download via DLC.

 

[inner-G]

Anybody pick this up yet?

Any stores selling it early today???

GOD it's killing me.

 

[Kabuki Waq]

its supposed to be out today but no place in Toronto has recieved it yet

 

[inner-G]

Just drove 45min. each way to get it at a game crazy.

Installing, friends heading over, impressions later.

: (

My Haku-counter game was top-notch. Was hoping to carry over the undefeated record into next-gen..

... pity.

 

[Ferrio]

installing?

OMG *cancels preorder*

Is installing really that big of a surprise no adays?

 

[Tathanen]

Someone's going to have to explain to me the lack of Haku/Zabuza. Not playable, fine. But not even as a Shukaku/Gamabunta-style boss battle of sorts? How can they claim it covers the whole first half of the anime but entirely leave out the first major arc? Surely they're in there in SOME capacity, yeah?

 

[BeEatNU]

My lame gamestore has been focusing on getting gears 2 early that they didn't get this or Valkyria Chronicles today

I can only wish for a One Piece or Bleach game like this.

 

[Issun23]

Naruto's pyjamas will be one of the costumes available via DLC. :lol

Tried searching through the thread, but I didn't see anything. Does anyone know if there are Japanese voice tracks in the game? I know the demo had them...

Don't know if I can stand the US voices...

BELIEVE IT

Japanese


anyway this shit confirmed so many times it's not even funny anymore to see some guys here in gaf don't know about it

At the strong request of our fans in North America, the game offers full voicing in both English and Japanese with all the original actors from the animated series. We’re also going to be releasing downloadable content for the game well into next year. It will mostly focus on new support characters and missions and best of all, it will all be FREE!

The animation student in me was drooling at what they used, and would love to see a "Making of" feature for this game.

Will the limited edition be released this week or next week?

I actually just got a pre-recorded call from GameStop saying the game will be in Thursday afternoon (and not Wed. afternoon?), so it'll be this week for sure.

 

[Squash]

Bleh put off pre-ordering this. =/, guess I'll miss out on the free DLC.

 

[Deadly Monk]

LE is already out, my store literally just got it. I can only play for a couple of hours before work. Then ALL DAY tomorrow...and VChronicles for PS3, Dragonball Origins for DS, Resistance 2 for ps3.... what a day.

 

[rollingstart]

is the pre-order bonus a code from Gamestop?

 

[Deadly Monk]

Yup. Does anyone have an extra of the Second Hokage? I'm not driving to gamecrazy...

 

[LowParry]

I want to buy. I feel like it. But not sure. More fighting games, the better. Dammit. Dammit. Dammit.
