Once upon a time I said “If something has Art Style in the title, buy it.” Well, there’s a new Art Style out for the Wii: Rotozoa. Is this stylish, quirky, bite-sized game worth your money, or did I totally stick my foot in my mouth?

Bit of a glitch at the end. When appjudgement spits in the cup.
Cant’ wait to see the report from SF on this whole thing. Looks like you had an awesome time.
Are the kids on the gameshow really that young? That much younger than you anyways? No wonder I can’t stand to watch that show. Well, that and commercial games just tick me off.
Loved it. Teach those San Francisco pansy-asses what’s what. BROOKLYN!!!
Been playing Rotozoa a good bit lately. Worth noting that it’s only the second original Art Style on Wii (along with Cubello – Rotohex, Orbient and Light Trax are all GBA ports) and for some reason I particularly dig that stage 5 has like a rib cage in the background for seemingly no reason. It does feel shallow, but I never went to the Art Style series for long marathon game sessions anyway (except for BoxLife on the DSi because that is the greatest game I’ve ever played in my entire life). Big ups for avoiding the obvious flOw comparison.

FEEDBACK: I misspoke on the video, the hamster’s name is Rick but I don’t feel like rerecording.

FIRF: Fault Line all the way. I guess you were just what I needed JUST WHAT I NEEDED!
Darn viddler. I swear before 8:30MST it just does want to work.
I actually did not know that… I missed out on all those powerups! When I got up on the hamster I was just like “Oh look, I’m on a hamster. La-de-da-de-da. Lame” and hopped off. Now I have to go play it again.
Just saw the trailer for the new Kirby. It looks tight.

Psh… I don’t need to look back at comments, you dropped enough hints.
oh nice episode :D
I’m definitely voting for crush the castle kuz well it’s insanely good :)
What’s the name of the tron looking line game during the rotozoa segment?
Art Style: Light Trax
Thanks, I’ll check it out – looks nice
i love this feedback question.
I’m going to pick Rush as my favorite animal sidekick. All the way up to megaman 10, rush was there to help you pass some of those hard to reach places and levels with the annoying blocks that you jump on.
The first game he appeared in was megaman 3. He was essential in this game, especially when you fight the last Dr. Wily boss.
Later on, Rush received a upgrade for megaman in the later games, megaman 6, now we have the power and jet forms. Rush transforms into a body armor and gives megaman even more power to his arsenal. A very good addition to the megaman games. Later one, megaman had another battle suit which could only be obtained by collecting the Four rush pieces, similar to finding the BEAT tokens in megaman 4 for the game boy. In megaman 7 you got a very powerful battle suit, which also gave you a second jump. The arm cannon was just wicked. But you needed to get a lot of bolts to use it’s full potential in battle.
Megaman 8 is when things made a U-Turn. Rush can now turn into a bike, I loved this because it felt like megaman X2 when you used the bike in ostrich’s sand level. This game also had midbosses, i think this is the first. Rush was probably the most useful in this game. Megaman 9 and 10 we just had rush coil and rush jet. Living it back in the back is the way to go. I thank capcom for giving us Rush. He is the most best animal sidekick in gaming history. No other can compare. Pikachu is great and all but if you think about it. Ash has a pikachu, well just give me a pokeball and i can catch my own pikachu. Not a good pick because there are shit loads of pikachu pokemon in the pokemon world. Anyone can have the same lame electric mouse pokemon as their sidekick.
But just a few i’d like to mention that probably won’t be recognized by others.
Tails miles, prower. First appeared in sonic the hedgehog 2. He’s great if your playing two players, but play with him as a computer, turn the game off. Just collecting all 7 chaos emeralds is a huge pain in the ass when tails is being runned by a computer and is in the way.
He is important though in the storyline, without him, sonic 3 wouldn’t be born. He flys the plane. Tails never had his full glory though. I played sonic 3 and knuckles as tails by himself, collected all 7 chaos emeralds and this is what flipped some shit, tails doesn’t have a super form. I have yet to collect the super emeralds and find out if he has a hyper form. But that is just lame, they gave knuckles a super form.
Ok another animal sidekick, Yoshi, i know someone will mention yoshi, and if you do then kudos to you. I liked yoshi and was glad he was put into super mario galaxy 2. Even though i still didn’t buy this game, mario is not really mario without yoshi. First introduced in super mario world. He was a huge huge help in that game. If you got hit then yoshi ran off and you had to go catch him. Ok that makes sense, i’m glad they did it this way. Just imagine if you got hit by a shell and yoshi went poof and disappeared. Yoshi had four forms, i wouldn’t say forms, but different colored yoshis were available. Green, blue, red, and yellow. Blue being my favorite. All four were unique, depending on the shell yoshi ate gave him a different ability. Red spits fire, green is just bullshit, yellow made yoshi smash the ground, and blue made yoshi fly. Now yoshi was also in his own video game, which had baby mario in it. Yoshi’s island. You would have to be a fool to not like this game, so would that mean that mario is the sidekick in this game lol?
One more animal sidekick i want to recognize is Epona, Link’s horse. I love how in twilight princess you could name epona. Just loved it, and i just saw images of the new legend of zelda coming out. Epona is probably the most reliable animal sidekick known to any nintendo gamer. Were talking about a hero with a sword and shield. Not a robot with a gun for a arm or a hedgehog that has a fox as a friend. But a hero, with his sword and shield, and his horse. This horse is the business. You played that ocarina and that horse came running to any spot you were, except for dungeons, dammit. But in twilight princess, epona even came to you when you blew on a piece of grass. Now that is what i call a horse. I would pay big money to have a horse that came to you like that.
My answer is still rush, but i wanted to point out other candidates, and give people ideas incase they couldn’t think of a good answer. Video comment tomorrow.
Why is it in your video comments you hardly say anything (despite the length of the video), but in your text comments you write a novel?
Lots of good suggestions. I love that you mention tales. In an anthropomorphic world don’t the rules change? I would think that the whole talking thing rules him out for eligibility. He’s more like a Luigi than a Yoshi. But he is an animal. And he is a sidekick. So stuff it Tales, you’re an animal sidekick.
Heh, Tales gets no love.

Nice episode, My vote for best animal sidekick is Sam
Best setup for a video comment. Love it.
Are you new? I don’t remember seeing you before. I think I’d remember that background. If so, welcome!
Good choice! But from the video I gather you’re talking about the bunny, and the bunny’s name is Max. The dog is Sam.
I swear viddler doesn’t want to work before 8:30 MST any more. Fortunately today I’m working from home (since my car broke down) so I had my reclaimed commute time to record this:

Forgot my usual summary:
o Birthday reminders.
o FIRF = Fault Line, tho it could really use a level editor.
o Feedback – The kangaroo thing from Bomberman that kicks bombs over the barriers.

My pick is rush for best animal sidekick. Others i wanted to name out, Tails, Epona, and yoshi.
Great show, but where is the Diggnation, and Totally Rad crew? All the games look fun this week I can’t wait to jump into them.
And Joe, I’m waiting on the multicolor version of Werewolves and Wanderers. ^_^
No need to wait, it’s out.

You know what else is out? The new Super Mario Crossover with Ryu. I knew it was coming but no one reported when it came out. That is why I never release an unfinished product.
Well apparently I’m youtube illiterate. I can’t seem to figure out how to make the video a video response. Here’s the link:

Any pointers would be much appreciated.
You know, once again there’s a game that I really hope gets more love than it looks like it’s getting. Dubloon is actually a really good game. But it’s up against a polished physics buster and the endless fun of a community created levels. I hope it does well, I just don’t know.
I’m definitely voting for crush the castle kuz well it’s insanely good :)
