/v/ - Video Games

You could load up those Japanese games on the Wii and save the data to a virtual memory card. Also the sound balancing in that trailer really pissed me off.

>nuZoids are manlet-tier and their "pilots" sit on top of their cockpitless chassis

Dead on arrival.

Looks like shit

Neat! Although I wish they'd use someone like Bit Cloud rather than the typical Shonen protagonist. But if I recall correctly they've been doing that for a while.

>>14403204

Yeah pretty much, I'm not a fan of the design choices. Although I hope the game is good.

What the hell was the NOid ?

>>14402525

It looks like complete garbage.

>Why the fuck they did made pilots riding on zoids backs?

>Why pilots look like they are from generic shonen garbage that only exists to be milked?

>Why the zoids are so damn small, when majority of them was skyscraper sized?

Characters actually died.

Shit got real and people grew up.

Pizza Gremlin.

Also, was a product tie-in game back in the day like Cool Spot and PepsiMan.

Chaotic Century and Guardian Force took place in war and technically postwar settings that included Zoids powerful enough to devastate the planet as featuring death of some characters/villains extended to the genocide of an entire alien race in a previous catastrophe save for a few as a backstory. It along with Zoids: Genesis were more along the lines of a traditional Gundam compared to New Century Zero's G Gundam, so to speak, although Zero doesn't quite get as dark as any of them.

There wasnt much light hearted about Chaotic Century. Apparently it was too rough for Toonami to even air, because you had to wake up at 5 in the morning to even watch it. This was before [as] did anime other than Cowboy Bebop too.

Chaotic Century was such a fan animu. The animation left a lot to be desired when it came to action but for a shameless toy-advertisement show it was great.

It's not great, but at least we still have Battle Legend, in all its midi soundtrack glory.

>>14404164

Chaotic Century aired normally but it was the 2nd season, Guardian Force that aired early in the morning. Both had some scenes censored on Toonami; New Century Zero too, but not nearly as much.

>holy shit, fucking zoids

>AND it has vidya this is great!

>you have lived long enough to see a new iteration of Zoids in your li-

>tiny Zoids

>kids riding them

>riding them, as in not piloting but actually treating them like motorcycles

WHO

WHO USED THE MONKEY'S PAW? How has it not ran out of fingers yet? Was this worth it? Does no one read short stories anymore?

I was actually looking forward to it for a second here.

>>14404164

OK I am confused about my zoid shows then. which one was about them in some competitive circuit? they rode around in some blue snail looking thing, with an awesome gauss ramp that launched the zoids out of it, and the games where refed by some droid that was dropped from an orbiting satellite.

That would be New Century Zero, which premiered first on Toonami but was made after the original anime a couple of years after it:

Remember that time they hyped a countdown and it turned out to be mobile shit?

As for the trailer, if they're going full animu, they should at least have cute girls. Generic shonen hero and generic shonen rival are lame.

>>14407446

However unlike G Gundam NCZ really is shit if you go back and watch it.

O shit was this the dinosaur robot legos with the little guy that sat in the cockpit/head?

>Love Zoids NC0 on Toonami as a small child

>Finally rewatch it a year or two back and realize that, while still hammy and cheesy, it's actually pretty awful with 0 plot, terrible pacing, and buttloads of bad stock CGI footage

>Watch Zoids afterwards, which I hated during Toonami and didn't watch much of

>It's fucking godly, with a serious plot, themes, and presentation. CGI is also fairly impressive for 1999

I remember watching only two episode of Fuzors when it had its aborted run on Toonami way back when. Is it as awful as I remember? Also how was Genesis?

This new Zoids is looking pretty current year. Little kids riding around on their miniature babby zoids unleashing their power with synchronization rates/mind meld/power of heart or whatever the fuck makes the kids have glowy hair. My hopes aren't very high, but CGI is ridiculously better than it used to be so it could actually end up super awesome. Doubtful, but you never know. At the least, I have faith in Takara Tomy to deliver something that ends up surprisingly good as they do good work.
