"Well, Ms. President, we were going to put a cockpit in the mech, but then we realized we wouldn't be able to see your ass. We're sure you understand."

Before I even knew this was a Suda51 game after seeing trailers and footage of it yesterday elsewhere, I was thinking "Eh, this looks stylish and well produced and all, but that gameplay looks boring as shit." And then I read it was a Suda51 game and it all made sense.

lol, man i did not know being a president in the future is so exciting.

"And I promise all of my fellow Americans that I will do my best to create jobs, take care of the family unit, and pilot this sweet-ass mech through a building."

I think that's some real change we could all get behind.

I see what you did there.

Suda is catching up to FromSoftware.

You play as the president of the US in a mech.

Haha I... I cannot figure out what they have in common. And for all we know the douchbaggery could be lost in translation. (I actually think Phil Fish is an awesome guy.)

All kidding aside, the last great mecha game I played was Zone of the Enders 2 and I'd love to get my hands on something similar.

Metal Wolf Chaos

Interesting isnt it? considering MWC never came out in the US despite having fully US voice overs. Now Suda is making a game that has exactly the same premise, except with a few changes(Japan, Female President) to be released everywhere. Hate to come off sounding paranoid. Its just....so weird.

I don't know, man. Anyone who calls themselves "Suda51" is probably flush with douchebaggery. Stories of what it's like to work for him seem to back that up as well.

51 is Gouichi. That's why he calls himself that. Suda Five One. I think it's pretty clever.

sadly this doesn't look anywhere near as good as ZoE2, but not bad for a downloadable on a handheld.

This fucking game doesn't have any support for left handed people.

so just like "Dillon's rolling western".....you are FORCED to play as if you were right handed, and if you're left handed, well too fucking bad.

thats 2 games now I've bought on the eshop that I thought would be, you know, a game I could play, but ended up being a total piece of garbage because of the lack of a SYMMETRICAL BUTTON LAYOUT. In both these shit games you do nothing with the face buttons at all, are forced to use the circle pad and touch screen, and have no option to change the control from circle pad to face buttons.

In the store they don't mention anywhere "This game is only for right handed people. If you are left handed, you cannot play this game" Thats because its such a retarded concept they are too ashamed to do that. They are ashamed of what they have made, because they made shit.

Fuck Nintendo, Fuck Vanpool (that shitty western game developer), Fuck Level 5, Fuck Grasshopper Manufacture, and Fuck Suda 51.

What type of mentally handicapped blind deaf 6 year old came up with this idea.

The 3ds as it is has an amazing library, if Nintendo put out half the games THEY COULD put out, it would be 1000x amazing. Instead, they made the biggest things you notice about the system the 3 hour battery life, and the fact that you can't play certain games because theyre made only for right handed people.

Even the system is made for a right handed person, they shouldnt have made a 3dsxl, it should have been 3ds LEFT HANDED VERSION, A.K.A. dual circle pad 3ds.....holy shit

this game sums up the 3ds. a LOT of missed potential all based on stupid poorly thought out decisions, that ended up screwing a lot of people over.
