I still hate the title, but still can't help but notice they've changed the official art a little from the Japanese version. Stafy has a different expression, but it's not an angry face(thank heavens). I may put up a comparison soon.

Release date? 8th of June! Don't expect any groundbreaking gameplay, since this isn't Densetsu no Stafy 4(porting 5 is actually a less than ideal plan. It's going to leave quite a bad taste in hardcore critics' mouths...)

June!? Jesus Christ Nintendo, stop releasing so many good games!

...

Wow, didn't expect to say that any time soon.

Me neither. In fact, I don't even know where that came from.

Pokemon Mystery Dungeon 3 this weekend, Punch-Out next month, Stafy and Wii MotionPlus in June, Wii Sports Resort in July....

Lap up Stafy if you have the chance. It's probably the cutest game you'll ever play. Ever.

I'll buy Resort if it has online, if not, I'll spit on every copy.

Aim for speed. You're gonna want it as you run down store aisles spitting on every copy with security guards chasing you.

Just to bring all of us crashing back down to earth, here's what Starfy's US boxart looks like:



I was expecting something horrible for the text, but this is....actually decent. Can't believe I'm saying that

Art is... Well, "Starfy" is the only one who looks good, which is acceptable because he looks just about perfect. However, its just damn unacceptable that they're calling him Starfy. It sounds retarded. Literally.

Unless Nintendo promotes this game big-time, it'll probably end up a low key series anyway. Unless a whole bunch of people want to see him after Brawl.

The way I see it, its success depends on it not being too easy. If its hard, it should be ok.

Not bad, not bad.

And I'm not too broken up over "Starfy." I mean, Stafy sounds better, definitely - but Starfy is much more... how d'ya say... pedestrian? It's much more clear that it's based on the word "star."

I've played the Japanese version. Try to guess how easy it was.

Well, I'm guessing easy, by the looks of the game. And that means people won't like it.

Knowing Nintendo, I'll beat it in an hour.

Fix'd.

The Japanese audience is worlds different. They like cute more than anyone else. This being the case, the Stafy dress-up will only seem pointless to the US players. And Stafy games have always been easy. Always. Just like Kirby, now that I think of it.

And it took me about 6 hours to beat Stafy 5, extras and all.

Don't get me wrong, people here love cute things, but I don't think it'll sell too well. Unless they advertise the **** out of it.

Starfy will do fairly well in America. It'll never reach even Kirby standards, but stay in the same tier of Starfox and F-Zero - games that do well enough to warrant sequels, but that's about it.
