Title: The Nintendo News Thread
Post by: "Bad News" Hoffmann on June 07, 2011, 09:14:28 pm
The Thread is not about the WiiU anymore, everything about Nintendo, like news, questions etc can be posted here including retro stuff as well as the latest WiiU or 3DS games

The shape makes me think it will be apt to overheat.
Also not sure how long I'll want to hold a controller the size of a small cat.

Nintendo is known for making extremely reliable hardware so I doubt it will overheat.

I know. I just thought it looked like my 360. I've convinced myself that the shape must be the problem.

Hey, if they can make the very awkward N64 controller work then I'm all up for it.

I think I'll just call this thing the,"U" instead I simply can't say WiiU without it sounding hilarious.

I like WU personally. Sounds less like a retired comedy routine. I wonder how comfortable the Wu will be. The N64 controller is still one of my faves. Strangely comfortable.
Title: Re: The Nintendo News Thread
Post by: OZ on June 07, 2011, 10:23:46 pm
Seeing as the N64 controller worked, they probably could have pulled off a plywood controller covered in cactus needles.
This one looks...bulky. I never thought of a controller being the same size as the 360's powerbox. They're probably trying to challenge preconceived notions of what a controller is and what it should look like. Or how much sensory information it can deliver to it's user.
Nintendo strives to maintain it's position as most likely to induce a seisure.

I would actually worry if controllers would get more and more smaller. Nowadays I can't hold a NES controller without getting my hands uncomfortable.

Its funny but I think the N64 controller was great. I never had any problems with it. And I have to agree, the name is a bit weird. I wonder what the "U" stands for. If Wii is saying "WE" then are they trying to say "We" (Nintendo) "Unique" "Ultimate" "Unstoppable" lol They sure have a way of naming their systems. Did you see the Clips for Zelda? Thing looks amazing.
I like the fact that you can stream the game on the controller, though I find it bad for those who are bad parents and have consoles baby sit their children. Now instead of making them stop so you can watch your shows you can just have them play on the controller itself. Wii is now the home console to a DS. Im pretty sold on it... I just cant imagine the price of another controller. What price range do you think this new Nintendo is going to be?
Title: Re: The Nintendo News Thread
Post by: Dken2021 on June 07, 2011, 10:38:02 pm
From what I've seen now, it's pretty much a super wii with a screen for the controller. I'll wait and see if the games would be worth the purchase.

Disliked the N64 controller as well, i thought its analoguestick was a bit too long/high
i remember having blisters on my thumbs everytime when i played KI Gold more than some minutes
never had that with any other controlers

the N64 controller was ergonomically designed to hurt your hands
I can only imagine that this thing will be heavier than the traditional controller. I'm trying to imagine playing SSB on this thing.
I just noticed that in the size comparison chart, they compared it to a plethora of things that aren't controllers. And what's funny is that it almost looks as though they're trying use it's size as a selling point.

that the WiiU wont even have the graphical power as the XB360 or the PS3
I think its just going to be in pare with the other systems. Im not too sure if it would surpass Ps3 and 360. But as always and from past systems, Nintendo are the only ones that completely tap into their systems graphical output while the other developers project look like crap most of the time excluding the Resident Evils and Metal Gear for the Cube/Wii. I just hope they take out the friend code crap from it and hopefully we get to see a Tatsunoko Vs Capcom 2. Game wasnt that bad, just slow. Either way they dont match to MVC2. Any ways, another thought is whats going to happen to the virtual games that you have on the Wii? As we know it we cant transfer over games to another Wii system so I wonder how they are going to work that out without having you to pay extra.

Why would you carry it around? not like you are going to leave the house. Even my PS3 controller sits on my lap while I am playing unless im leaning on a table with my arms sitting down. I dont think its going to be that heavy. If anything the iPad might weigh more.

Lets not forget something, even if the WiiU games can be compared graphically with xb360 and ps3 games..and we would see the same games on all three systems again like in 2001 with the ps2,gc and the xb
the xb360 and ps3 are since 5/6 years on the market and we probably see new consoles in 2013 which will both again make a technical difference as we know it today between the nintendo vs xb360/ps3 graphics
i am not a graphic whore, but that means probably big third party support for the microsoft and sony consoles which would see sequels of successful franchises while the wiiu would ..like the wii see only some halfway good ports (dead rising, wwe smackdown etc) and mostly games made for the "casual" gamer (think the various petz games, sims etc)
And now, the "casual gamer" market is divided even..its not the same situation as in 2005 due to kinect and move
If Nintendo cant get a really big third party support this time, with games you didnt see on nintendo consoles normally..like GTA, Red Dead Redemption, Mass Effect and what else is very popular they will lose a lot money in thenext years

They already mention that Rock Star is doing a game for Nintendo which was mentioned in Gameinformer. Not to mention EA and others are already backing up Nintendo. On top of that Nintendo isnt doing what they did with the Wii which is not even showing game companies their console. They already gotten their hands on the console and started to develop games for it.

I see 360 launching a new system. As for PS3 i doubt it for the simple fact that companies are still have trouble understanding how to do games for the PS3. My choice of words might not be correct on this (last sentence I wrote) but I do remember Sony saying that their system is going to have a life span of 10 years and not 5. 360 would need to release a new system maybe to start using Blue-Ray disc so they dont feel like a PS1 having to have multiple disc to play a game.
Im not a graphic whore either. In fact games have been so repetitive with all companies following a damn trend that I just started to play old school games starting with my PS1/Snes RPGs because the quality is far better. I am just tired of every game that comes out to be a FPS. I like them but enough is enough. There are just too many out.

Sony really wants to wait 10 years to release a PS4. If I were them I wouldn't feel safe doing that. Because I have Sega related paranoia when it comes to how often to release a console.

LOL i dont know, I just feel like it would be a waste of money to come out with a ps4. due to the fact that there wasnt much released on the ps3. only thing good was the Kill Zones, Little big planets, and the Uncharteds. And now with the New nintendo being supported by other developers people are gonna be like hmmmm should i get it for the 360? Wii? or PS3?
I dont know man, the way the industry is going, little by little im starting to dislike video games. Now I know how those old school people rather stay retro lol

THIS
is exactly what i think about most (not all) games of the current generation as well. Games today are often trying to be like a action movie. Thats why i often play old games and/or "indie" games lately. Witcher 2 was a exception

At first I was unsure about the controller but now nintendo has really won me over, the graphics are amazing and the controller works well with the games and I think nintendo will make it so for most games only 1 controller is needed and you can use wiimotes for multiplayer etc so you won't have to spend £80 on a new controller

after doing some research (http://www.gameinformer.com/b/news/archive/2011/06/07/could-project-caf-233-be-the-best-platform-for-darksiders-ii.aspx):
Quote
At the very least, Vigil believes that gamers can look forward to ports to Nintendo’s new console that are not inferior to every other version of the game. When we asked Bonstead if he thought it was possible that the Wii U version of Darksiders II would be the best version of the game, he said, "Yeah, just because the hardware is more powerful and it will have some extra features that I think will actually be useful to people playing the game. With it’s controller, [the Wii U version of Darksiders II] might be the best version of the game."
WiiU is more powerful than PC, you heard it here first.

Well its true what he said. They have the Box, now its up to developers to push the system. The software is just as important as the system. But to me, if developers couldnt push the wii in the first place, what are they going to accomplish with WU? I hate games on multiple platforms its like saving a picture in either Jpg, Gif, and PNG lol

Post by: "Bad News" Hoffmann on June 08, 2011, 11:17:51 pm
Nintendo of America president Reggie Fils-Aime revealed that while the Wii U will still be compatible with Wii software, its predecessor's backward compatibility with the GameCube will not be making an appearance.

Might be the same reason you had to use a GC controller to play those games.
I'm not really enthused by this. The answer to the Kinect is basically a free android phone with every new wii purchased. I mean I like angry birds, but not enough to buy the wii version.
I think I will just wait until the Kinect is available for windows without a hack, and go back to PC gaming.

Your joke detector is off. And I am not wrong about it being a phone. My current phone has all of the features of that controller. There should be an app for that, and make it work with the old wii over bluetooth. I don't see this as a step forward in gaming really. I'm sure it will be great for Star wars games and shit, but it isn't enough to make me not envy the Kinect.
I think I would buy the controller when they hack it for windows or something, but there is going to be like 10 games that will even really use this thing, just like what happened with the wiimote and the wiifit.
Sorry, but I am a little jaded after seeing the potential of just the wii mote and how little it was utilized. The same way I was jaded by the lack of zapper and that light gun on snes.
I will wait like I said.

They're not dropping support for the original Wii, so I don't see why the new system would incorporate everything the original had. It'd be waste of time and adds on to the overall cost of the console.

gamecube games required specific gamecube ports for the controllers and memory cards. while it would've been nice if the wii was capable of using its internal memory or sd cards to save gamecube games it wasn't possible due to hardware limitations. this is similar to how sony dropped ps2 compatibility on the ps3 slim at one point. stop talking shit

Yeah as I said before, that controller is like having a home only DS console. If the developers get it together and put their creativity to work, they can actually do a lot with it. As for phone games sorry to say, only a hand full are good and the rest is just plain crap. I dont see the whole thing about angry birds; that game isnt all that.

Be logic for a second, there are games that use more than 2 controllers! I dont think nintendo expects everybody to drag around their controller to other people's houses.
That's dumb... but oh well, the console's name is dumb aswell so...
wait... even dumber, games are only designed to use ONE tablet lol! yeah nintendo go to hell.

Michel Ancel, the creator of Rayman and Beyond Good and Evil, has said that he does not think Nintendo's new console should be deemed 'next-gen'.
Asked if the Wii U is a next-generation machine, Ancel replied: "Not really. I think Wii U is next-gen in terms of interface."
Speaking to VideoGamer.com at E3, Ancel explained how he thinks others will be quick to imitate Nintendo.
"I think people are going to copy it, because you've got this mix between tablet, touch screen and big screen – big screen and little screen - there are a lot of possibilities."
Pressed on this issue - whether he expected Microsoft or Sony to cook up something similar - Ancel replied: "I don't know if Sony will do it, or Microsoft – but yes, I think it's a possibility. But I think the main thing is to have this – offering new ways to play is very interesting."
Ubisoft currently has several projects in development for Wii U, although Ancel was quick to confirm that Rayman was not one of them.

Wii U has last-gen Radeon inside, still more advanced than PS3 and Xbox 360
Quote
Slowly, but surely, we're starting to piece together what's going on inside that mysterious white box known as the Wii U. IBM was a little coy about the multi-core CPU it was providing, but did tantalize us by mentioning the name "Watson" in describing some of its underlying tech. Now details about the custom Radeon GPU are starting to surface and, while certainly capable, it's not exactly cutting edge. At its heart is a chip similar to the R770 found in AMD's last-gen cards like the 4890 and, before you dismiss it, remember the PS3 and Xbox 360 are still capable of pumping out impressive visuals while packing five-year-old silicon (The 360 is essentially running a souped up ATI X1900). The custom core also supports Direct X 10.1 (Microsoft runs out of steam with Direct X 9) and Eyefinity-like multi-display tech for up to four SD video streams -- though it'll be up to Nintendo and developers to put that to good use. In case you're still not convinced of the Wii U's graphical prowess, Crytek has said its advanced CryEngine is "pretty much" up and running on Nintendo's upcoming console -- and, if it's good enough for Crysis, it should be good enough for you

Nintendo Having Serious Problems Getting the Wii U Working?
Since French site 01Net has proven itself somewhat reliable when it comes to Nintendo leaks of late, it's worth going back and looking at some of its other reports on the company's happenings over the past month. Like this one, that the Kyoto-based company is having problems getting the Wii U up and running. Big problems.
According to 01Net's report, the hardware powering the Wii U simply isn't up to scratch to do what Nintendo needs it to: Namely, run not just the console, but beam data to its fancy touch-screen controller as well. Apparently developers working on the console are having to use "tethers" to ensure serviceable communication between the Wii U and its controller, but even then things still aren't working that well, and progress is reportedly halted daily with repeated software updates for the pad.
The source spilling the beans—who, given the publication, sounds like it could be a European third-party developer—also says that these problems have caused a delay in the console's launch, an original June 2012 release now being pushed back to sometime around September.
While there's no way of proving this as of yet (we've contacted Nintendo for comment, by the way), if true, it certainly makes the Wii U sound "rushed". Which would fit Nintendo's pattern of late! I've always felt the 3DS was rushed (to meet a March deadline, thus brightening up Nintendo's end-of-year fiscals), from its midnight announcement to its single thumbstick to its delayed services release.
If this report is correct, it shouldn't surprise too many people that the Wii U has been put on a similar development fast-track, one aimed at getting a new home console to the market as quickly as possible to compensate for a sharp decline in Wii sales.
Well..wouldnt be the first time Nintendo shows a prototype of a console and the machine in stores works different and with less poer and features as advertised before .

Wii U has quad core 3GHz CPU, 768 MB of RAM 52 On December 2nd, 2011 in News, Rumor
Wii U specsNintendo is finally set to release a new, much more powerful console with HD graphics, and many are wondering what kind of technology we might find inside the console, and how it will compare with the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3. We’ve heard from developers who have access to the console that the Wii U is “50% more powerful” than the Xbox 360 and PS3. We now know that those estimates of 50% are based on the fact that the Wii U is around 50% more powerful on paper, according to information Wii U Daily obtained from a Japanese developer who is currently working on porting a PS3 game to the Wii U.
According to the source, the Wii U specs are:
Quad Core, 3 GHz PowerPC-based 45nm CPU, very similar to the Xbox 360 chip. 768 MB of DRAM “embedded” with the CPU, and shared between CPU and GPU Unknown, 40nm ATI-based GPU
The source also mentions that Nintendo has been testing two versions of the console, one with 768 MB of RAM, and one with 1 GB. The RAM is also made by IBM and is embedded with the processor on the same die/silicon, which results in more bandwidth.
These were the specs that Nintendo showed developers around March 2011, so it’s unknown how close to the final specs these are, considering there’s a year until the console is scheduled for release.
When it was unveiled earlier this year, Nintendo confirmed that the Wii U would support 1080p graphics and 3D is possible as well.
Around 50% more "raw" power sounds realistic to me even when these specs are from march already, since the console comes many years after the ps3 and xb360, that it wont be a true "next gen" when it comes to the graphics and will most likely again be outdated when the next MS and Sony hardware is on the market was to be expected. However i dont think that would be a problem for Nintendo, they managed to make the Wii a giant success while it is basically not much more than a gamecube 1,5 so they wont have big problems selling the Wii-U as well i bet.
It will be interesting to see how publishers will use the situation, it wont be easy for them sometimes for multiplatform games if they have 2 similar strong consoles on the market and one with a lot more power.
2012 will be a exciting year i bet!

Yeah and with no games really worth playing on it there really is no reason to rush out and buy one.

Hopefully by Bayo 2s release all of this will be fixed and I can pick one up without trouble.

Well, at least they're rushing it out because OMG HOLIDAY SEASON. Also, I don't see how ZombieU doesn't look promising, I thought it was almost a selling point by itself, although probably not enough for many.
And while we're here discussing why there's no reason to buy a WiiU, Nintendo says the demand is phenomenal, there's already shortage, and they're expediting shipments which won't be able to fulfill the projected future demand.

Also pretty sure there was announcements for more than just handheld games, that and we got another good game already made(Luigi's mansion dark moon, you should play it.)

That's not what this is about though. Even though Nintendo's dominating the handheld market they are still getting killed by smartphone games/apps and what not. Plus they are on the verge of having a failed console if they can't get people to actually make games for it. If anything Nintendo's going to struggle until they can find a way to get developers to make Wii U games.

Nintendo CEO Seen Missing Profit Target as Wii U Founders
Iwata will announce a second straight annual loss tomorrow, losing 18.7 billion yen in the 12 months ended March 31, according to the average of 15 estimates compiled by Bloomberg. For the year started April 1, Nintendo may post operating income of 70 billion yen, according to the average of 19 estimates -- short of a target he said was a personal “commitment.”
Nintendo’s Wii U, its first new home-gaming console since 2006, is failing to meet sales targets amid a delay of software releases that Iwata said were crucial to winning over consumers who increasingly play games on smartphones and tablet computers. Sony Corp. (6758) and Microsoft Corp. are also preparing to release upgraded consoles this year, adding pressure on the 53-year-old executive, who’s been in the role since 2002.
“Iwata hasn’t produced good results in recent years,” said Hideki Yasuda, a Tokyo-based analyst at Ace Securities Co. “He can’t avoid being criticized.”
Yasuda rates the stock neutral, or hold. Only 4 of 20 analysts tracked by Bloomberg recommend buying Nintendo shares, while 13 recommend holding them and 3 recommend investors sell.
Yasuhiro Minagawa, a spokesman for Kyoto-based Nintendo, declined to comment on the difference between its commitment and analysts’ forecasts. The company will release earnings after the close of trade tomorrow.

I don't think it's sub par really. These companies just need to realize that people don't buy consoles for console sake (in most cases). They buy them for GAMES. Releasing new systems with no games is retarded and has ALWAYS backfired unless you just have some super game that everyone wants on launch. Best thing Nintendo had was an updated Mario Wii and that Zombie game. Then BIG DROUGHT.

Yea, that's true. If it were released along with a heavy hitter title like SSB, I'm sure the console would've been much more successful. I still believe the console could've been better in terms of quality though.

For the first time since a lot years there won't be a big Nintendo Press Conference on the E3 it seems.
Just put them out of their misery already. They can stick to their act of publish Mario/Zelda/Kirby games every year IN ALL PLATFORMS instead.
^^ PREPARE TO DIE!!
..if a horde of nintendo fans sees such a "blasphemy" . I mentioned something similar on another forum a few days ago and got almost buried in angry replies about how nintendo games can't be on other platforms because they are so innovative and would not make fun on other consoles and it would be the death of nintendo etc.
Personally i would love to see Mario, Samus, StarFox, Kirby etc on just all available platforms. The move to not have a big conference at the E3 might be smart though. It seems like nintendo has only a handful of games to show but this handful will most likely be the games everyone wants to see for the wiiU (new smash bros, mario, zelda..1-2 surprises too) for that..a longer nintendo direct than usual and playable versions for the press on the E3 should be enough this year.
3DS is selling more weekly than PS3, Vita and PSP combined.[/url]
And this is compensating the loss of over 140M for Nintendo in the 2012 fiscal year..how?

And this is bad how? They've shown that they don't need a bloated one and half hour presentation at a convention and instead use the monthly Nintendo Directs which have been shown to be successful at hyping up their releases.
Not showing things in E3 is not the end of the world for Nintendo.
And this is compensating the loss of over 140M for Nintendo in the 2012 fiscal year..how?
You have no idea do you? They have so much money in the bank it's ridiculous. They won't suddenly go bankrupt from a small loss like this especially when this loss is a first in Nintendo's history.

Second, but the point still remains that Nintendo is FAR from bankrupt. As for ditching E3, I think it's a mistake since it will give them a lot more exposure than Nintendo Direct will, but we'll see what happens. I want the Wii U to do well, but they really need third party support to do well. That Mistwalker RPG looked nice, but I need a little more to convince me to get it as a second console.
Title: Re: The Nintendo News Thread
Post by: Person Man on April 25, 2013, 10:55:08 pm
But in all seriousness, this might not be the best idea. After they bungled the WiiU launch by under-hyping it and putting out the console before any of the games were done, they may have wanted to put on a big "we're still good for it" show to regain a little consumer faith. I'm not saying a weak launch is a death sentence; Hell, the 3DS launch was even worse than the WiiU and that thing is selling gangbusters now. It's just that Nintendo should probably try a little harder to boost people's confidence in them.

Post by: Jmorphman on April 25, 2013, 11:03:40 pm
Saying Nintendo should be put out of their misery now is basically the same thing as wanting to put a healthy 20-something out of their misery because they broke their leg. Or even sprained their ankle, really.
And no, Nintendo is not a horse. >:[
To continue my dumb metaphor, this E3 thing would be like this hypothetical young adult with a broken leg declining to go to this annual get-together because they've been throwing similar parties of their own, except they're smaller and happen more often. Or something.

I have a lot of ideas and a lot knowledge about Nintendo, Sony and even good old Mindscape ;) But what has that all to do with me pointing out that the good salesnumbers of the 3DS does not compensate their losses from the last year? Also nobody mentioned that Big N could go bancrupt beause of their current situation. I myself believe they will be in a better spot in 6-9 Months but also believe that their current Console does not have a big future.

Hmm...
No Nintendo at E3?
Well, they are still doing smaller booths, so they are still in attendance, just not in full force.
And give the WiiU some time. It takes a while for consoles to be profitable.
And you need to get more games on there, that is for certain...

NINTENDO CO., LTD. ANNOUNCES PROMOTION OF NOA CHAIRMAN TATSUMI KIMISHIMA TO NCL MANAGING DIRECTOR
Led Nintendo of America Since 2002
REDMOND, Wash., April 24, 2013 – Nintendo Co., Ltd. (NCL) today announced a planned promotion for Tatsumi Kimishima, current chairman and CEO of Nintendo of America (NOA) and a director of its parent Nintendo Co., Ltd. Subject to shareholder approval, he will become NCL managing director, and transfer from NOA in Redmond, Wash., to NCL headquarters in Kyoto, Japan. In his new position, he will assume the roles of general manager of Corporate Analysis and Administration, and general manager of the General Affairs Division. These titles are currently held by Yoshihiro Mori and Masaharu Matsumoto respectively, both of whom are retiring. Kimishima will assume his new duties in Kyoto later this summer.
Kimishima was named to his current position at NOA in 2006. He first joined Nintendo in Japan in 2000, and was subsequently named president of Pokémon USA in 2001, before moving on to become president of the Nintendo of America subsidiary in 2002. Previously, he spent 27 years at Sanwa Bank of Japan, with multiple postings in North America and Central America.
Many of his current responsibilities, including the CEO title, will be assumed by Global President Satoru Iwata. The move will support the company’s unified global strategy, allow streamlined decision making and enhance Nintendo's organizational agility in the current competitive environment. Reggie Fils-Aime will continue in his role as president and COO of NOA, reporting to Iwata.
Other changes announced to Nintendo’s global board of directors can be found at http://www.nintendo.co.jp/ir/en/.

Sonic Lost World follows Sonic the Hedgehog as he chases longtime foe Dr. Eggman and comes across a mysterious floating island called “Lost Hex,” a new IGN preview reveals. There, he counters the “Deadly Six,” new foes who promise to add “a sense of danger and humor” to the Lost World story.
As depicted in today’s trailer, the game will offer a series of abstract levels that combine 3D and 2D mechanics. Players will twist, turn, and jump along floating constructs suspended in mid-air, and a new parkour-system will allow Sonic to accommodate basic obstacles while he’s running.
The development team’s biggest challenge in creating a new Sonic was maintaining the series’ key sense of speed while still finding the right controls. So now Sonic will walk when you move the analog stick, and won’t start running unless you press down one of the triggers. Hold down the second trigger and Sonic will roll into a ball at full momentum.
With this new structure, the development team hopes that players can navigate the game’s wide range of level designs, exploring and running as necessary. That said, levels are now tailored to different gameplay styles. Some will focus on slower speeds with more platforming, while others will focus on running as fast as possible.
Example: Desert Ruins 1 consists of cakes, cookies, donuts, and all manners of candy. But Desert Ruins 2 offers an entirely different theme and gameplay style: the ‘tunnel racing’ concept from previous games.
The Wii U GamePad is used to activate various Whisp-based “Color Powers,” which feature touch-based controls and are used largely to gain access to side paths and areas. A ‘Support Mode’ is also being developed, where one player uses the Wii U GamePad to assist a second player controlling Sonic with the Wiimote and Nunchuck.
Sonic is the only playable character in Lost World, though friends like Tails, Knuckles, and Amy will also make an appearance. Throughout the game, Sonic will save animals, which are tracked both by level and cumulatively, and factor’s into unlockable content. Red Star Rings can also be collected for unlockable content, and Gold Cannons will provide access to hidden paths.
Sonic Lost World is due out for Wii U and 3DS later this year. While details on the 3DS version are slim, we do know that it will make use of full 3D levels. But whether they’re smaller or completely different is unknown.

Nintendo is still thinking about a potential remake of The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask. Speaking with IGN, series creator Shigeru Miyamoto said "they're still in my memory" of Zelda fans that have long clamored for an enhanced version of the Nintendo 64 classic.
Miyamoto and his team were considering giving the title a new lick of paint just last year. At that time, other ideas for portable Zelda releases included something entirely new and a follow-up to A Link in the Past. Obviously, we know what direction they decided to take, given the recent announcement of A Link Between Worlds. Still, with the forthcoming release of Wind Waker HD and increasing fan demand for a Majora's Mask remake, a return to Termina sounds like an inevitability.

Quote
Earlier this year we told you that Nintendo had filed copyright claims on several popular YouTube Let’s Play channels. Usually this means the content is taken down, but the style of copyright claim Nintendo filed allowed the content to be kept up, but showing ads that gave Nintendo revenue instead of the individual content creator. This led to many YouTube personalities to state they didn’t plan on doing let’s plays of Nintendo’s games anymore, since there was no longer a monetary incentive to produce that content. It seems Nintendo now realizes the value of these streams as advertising tools, as some are reporting the return of their revenue stream.

Here we were, buying new LCD screens 4/5 years ago to play WHATEVER COOL HD GAME WAS OUT THERE THOSE DAYS, and the Wii looked like absolute shit in lower resolution. It felt almost like an unnecessary upgrade to the Gamecube, but both were marginally better than the PS2 (which still had a better game library, mind you) and it just wasn't competing with the newer console titles in quality.
It's like all they care about is money these days, the cheapest way possible. Cheap, non-contemporary hardware, making the same games over and over again. They're the ones making the smallest technological leaps generation VS generation IMO

there was a point when technologically progressing consoles had some meaning, like using new chips and stuff, but the past 2 generations of so it's just become a matter of using assembling a $400 pc with pieces 2 generations behind of the current technology.

I wish it'd go back to when the new consoles were on-par with the gaming PCs of the time, or the year prior. That way it wouldn't be such a fallback to try consoling every now and again. Literally at this point I'm just hoping that the companies start putting out system upgrades to their current systems, as opposed to making new systems. That and it's better to play PC anyways, because emulation :D

Nintendo as of late, in fact, for quite a while now, has been about first party only. Third party is not a good reason to buy a Nintendo console for this very reason. You have to be big on their first parties since that's usually the only games of substance released on their consoles, which, for me, isn't an awful thing considering I usually enjoy them to a substantial degree.

Only Japan-based users are affected, Nintendo claims
Hackers have managed to break into the Club Nintendo website more than 23,000 times in the past month, Nintendo has confirmed.
Full names, home addresses, phone numbers, and mail addresses were compromised. It was not initially specified whether all Club Nintendo users were affected, but a Nintendo representative has since told CVG: "this only affects the Japanese Club Nintendo and is not an international issue".
According to the Wii U manufacturer, the hacking began on June 9 and was detected one month later, on July 2. Nintendo's subsequent investigation found that there were 23,000 unauthorised log-ins from 15 million attempts between those dates.

What the above man said. Yes, it's pretty silly and such compared to the massive third party support everything else is getting, but it's completely plausible to say that based on how firmly rooted Mario and Zelda are, survival can definitely hinge on them relatively safely.

Also from Wikipedia
Zelda Skyward Sword Sales In Japan, roughly 195,000 copies were sold in its first week.This added up to a total first week sales of 919,119. According to Nintendo of America president Reggie Fils-Aime, Skyward Sword is the fastest selling title in the Legend of Zelda series.[104]
As of December 2011, the game has recorded 3.42 million units of sales worldwide.380,000 of these units were sold in Japan while 3.04 million units were sold overseas
Zelda Wind Waker It sold 4.6 million copies worldwide
Zelda Ocarina of Time 7.6 million copies worldwide
Zelda ALTTP A Link to the Past was a landmark title for Nintendo and is widely considered today to be one of the greatest video games of all time. A Link to the Past has sold over 4 million units world wide + later sales on virtual console
Means numbers of sales for the Zelda franchise are decreasing it seems. Nintendo never had such a competition than today, and now they even lost the "casual" bonus which made em sell so many wii consoles and games like wii fit, wii sports etc.

you forgot twilight princess, released between wind waker and skyward sword, which sold 8.10 million and breaks the trend you're suggesting. if this VGCHARTZ LOL image is any indication there's no real trend here (http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v103/Trunkswd/VGChartz/ZeldaGraph.png) poor skyward sword sales could be chalked up to: 1: being released very late in the wii's life cycle, at which point "hardcore gamers" might have sold their wii in favor of something else 2: wii piracy being ridiculously easy at that point 3: required use of wiimote plus

Ubisoft: ZombiU not profitable, no sequel plans "Ubisoft CEO Yves Guillemot has revealed ZombiU made no money, the Wii U launch title failing to become "even close" to profitable. Despite rumors and teasing, it now appears no sequel is on the cards for the foreseeable future.
The Ubi boss man went so far as to blame ZombiU's performance for the final decision tomake Rayman Legends multiplatform. The implication seems to be that the great-but-flawed survival horror game did so badly, Ubisoft has really cold feet about throwing exclusive support behind Nintendo's system.
In the same GI.biz article, Electronic Arts got some digs in at the Wii U too, stating, "The lack of online engagement that we see on Wii U [is troubling]. It's so integral to what we do. They're so small it's hardly worth running the servers. It seems like a box that's out of sync with the future of EA -- which is one that gives a real social feel to our games. The Wii U feels like an offline experience right now.""
Guess they should port it somehow for the other platforms quick to make Zombi a successful franchise after all.

Post by: "Bad News" Hoffmann on July 08, 2013, 06:57:19 pm
One of the few times i agree to 100% with you.
I think Nintendo should try to capitalize on their image as the "family friendly game company" They do that with their own games like Mario, Pokemon, Smash Bros etc. very well but instead of getting a ton of different developers and publishers together on a round table and dicuss with them what type of games could be super successful on their console, they try and try again to get games on their console which are not really fitting to their image.
The Resident Evil Remake and RE exclusives deals with Capcom for the Gamecube, and now games like ZombiU and Bayonetta 2 will never reach the main Nintendo audience.
Nintendo does not really need ports of Mass Effect by EA or Tekken Tag Tournament 2 (Namco) on their console, they need other original IP's which are fitting to the Nintendo image. That would be in the interest of the third party developers and publishers too of course.
Its clear already that Watchdogs on the WiiU will be the port of the game with the lowest number of sales, Ubisoft does themselves no real favour there.

To be honest, I really hate Nintendo's constant updates on the street plaza. Just stick with one layout. I don't see why it needed to be changed other than to add new games. And I hate the fact they added new games. I haven't even finished the other games yet to get the rest of the hats. Also I still have not gotten the pink pieces of the puzzles. I have no idea why they thought this would be a good idea, because some of us, if not all of us don't live near Nintendo World stores, or meet up for local events. It's harder for me to get these pieces, and now they go ahead and give me even new games and stuff while I'm still stuck on the current old theme games. Another bad thing about getting blue puzzle pieces is it's not random at all. They intentionally drain more than 1/2 of your 300 3ds coins just to complete the blue piece set of a frame.

Right, because Link thrusting his sword down into Ganondorf's skull (http://zeldawiki.org/The_Legend_of_Zelda:_The_Wind_Waker) or stabbing Ganon in the throat until he spews blood pea soup (http://zeldawiki.org/The_Legend_of_Zelda:_Ocarina_of_Time) is totally not violent at all. And then there's Mario performing numerous acts of animal cruelty by stomping on turtles and skinning raccoon dogs alive so he could wear their furs, and lets not forget those times when Team Rocket mauled a Marowak to death, Mewtwo killed a whole bunch of scientists, and Pokemon decapitations galore. (http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/Guillotine_%28move%29)
Honestly, anything that happens in Smash is pretty tame by comparison, unless Nintendo considers 4th wall breaking faceplants violent as well. Or maybe people tripping all the time in Brawl was so violent that they had to remove it in Smash 4 :smug:

Don't forget the blood in the Bottom of the Well. It's still amazing how Ocarina of Time got an E-rating.
Seriously, Super Smash Bros. is the most tamest T-rated game you can find out there, when you consider that a lot of T-rated games on the market have blood, sexual themes, and characters saying the word "shit". While I respect them for keeping their consoles "game systems" (as opposed to the entertainment systems we have now) and being innovative, Nintendo should've kept their mouths shut and let Melee be played at EVO.

i like that a lot of people are seeing this as nintendo's real explanation for not wanting smash to be streamed and are ignoring that this is speculation from that guy that left the company in 2007. if nintendo didn't want mario or link to beat up women then they wouldn't fucking put women in the games. if they didn't want their characters to be perceived as violent and nothing else then smash wouldn't exist. mc2's reasoning is probably much closer to why nintendo didn't want the game streamed on evo.

Are you sure it's not just their recent ToS prohibiting the distribution of IP via monetary gain? EVO HD costs money. Therefore, Nintendo's Legal Team did what was perceived as their job. The higher ups received word and let EVO stream Smash. Why the friggin hell else would this decision be recalled in that short of a timespan if the entire company banded and agreed on it? Oh, and Smash was at EVO before this year. It's not really hard to put together this conclusion.

We already knew that, as it stands, Professor Layton and the Azran Legacies is the last of the popular series starring the tea-loving puzzle master. Perhaps not a surprise as sales dropped away in Japan, particularly, with each release, Level-5 has nevertheless been clear that the brand may well continue in some form. The publisher has now revealed Layton 7 at its Vision event, which is coming to 3DS, iOS and Android.
Very little is known from the basic reveal, beyond descriptions of it as the "latest entry in the Professor Layton series" and a "role-play puzzle" game". It's sporting a new 3D isometric viewpoint and a host of different characters, and it's not clear how the named character will feature, or whether it's simply branding in the Layton universe.

That's not all. Nintendo just announced a new system, the Nintendo "2DS" Thought it was a parody. But it's official... https://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=sAExBTWIp3M http://www.ign.com/articles/2013/08/28/nintendo-announces-2ds?utm_campaign=fbposts&utm_source=facebook
It's basically a 3DS, but without a 3D depth slider, marketed towards a younger audience. It also has no flip screen. (So you or your children can destroy the screen.) Case included, case strap sold separately. Best thing about it? It's 40 whole dollars cheaper than a normal 3DS. The look's pretty retro. But the buttons are in the middle of the system and the shoulders are on the top screen. Talk about uncomfortable.

Nintendo 2DS? SERIOUSLY? They can't think of anything original? For that matter that could just go from Wii U, back to the Wii, then back to the GameCube in 2020 for that matter. Also, the 'DS' name is as old as the original phat DS.

I think it's smart marketing They release a console that can play 3d games without the 3d the same day Pokemon comes out. That way, they don't alienate their older fans and allows kids who couldn't get the 3DS to play Pokémon and other popular 3DS games.

That 2DS thing is awesome! The only bad thing about it is the case design, but since it is aimed at small children, I can see why they went with that.
The lack of 3D and 3D slider is a major plus for me. 3D movies and games cause me terrible headaches that can last days. This thing allows me to own a 3DS without worrying about that dreadful slider and the having headaches out of nowhere.
Also, with that price range and with Pokemon coming along soon, I can see this being a major killer at the upcoming holiday sales.

Post by: DNZRX768 on August 29, 2013, 03:04:50 am
I think the reason why they got rid of the hinge design is because, since this is marketed at younger children, it needs to be build more solidly to withstand the amount of abuse that the little kids would put on the things they hold.
Seriously, they drop stuff all of the time. And the weak hinges was a common complaint for the 3DS...

The sound took another hit because of the design making it only use one speaker in mono. The XL before it had dumbed down speakers to fit the larger screen (which I didn't know before I bough it so AAARRRRGHHGH).

No, no, no! D: My headaches from these 3D things can last DAYS. I am not going through it for something that I can barely appreciate anyway.
Also, I am still sure that this thing will have killer sales this holiday session. It is $50 cheaper than the normal DS, and Pokemon will cost $40.

The 2DS's dual screens is actually just one screen, by the way. Cuts costs. So what happens if one "screen" breaks? The fact that the screens are constantly exposed doesn't help, considering how close they are from the surface...
Title: Re: The Nintendo News Thread
Post by: TTTTTsd on August 30, 2013, 12:05:47 am
This thing is going to have screen protectors, and parents will more than likely buy them for their kid. Hell given its design it would not surprise me if screen protectors were bundled in! I don't care if they make the touch screen feel a smidge weirder, they are a must no matter what. If one screen breaks nintendo has what we call a Customer Service area on both their website and probably their phone line as well. They also do repairs.

Title: Re: The Nintendo News Thread
Post by: walt on August 30, 2013, 02:34:34 am
It will still sell a lot of units.
The 3D puts a strain on the eyes, that small children whose sight is still developing shouldn't be exposed to. This will get rid of that customer objection, and will sell more units at a cheaper price, in a very price sensitive market.
It's a win, no matter where you look at it.

My only problem with the 2DS is that it's aimed at younger gamers, but they didn't add screen protectors from what I can tell. For a target audience like that, you want it to be durable. The target audience isn't the gamer that buys his own stuff and has to pay for it himself if he breaks it. Younger gamers aren't really able to buy their own stuff and they're not as worried about it since they're not the one paying if it does break, and it's more likely to happen in this case.
My two cents.
Title: Re: The Nintendo News Thread

Screen protectors should be bought so they aren't damaged. If they are pre-applied the warranty comes into play IIRC.

It's not like it is in America where you can become successful by being an asshole. If you screw someone over in Japan, you bring shame to yourself, and the only way to get rid of that shame is repentance.
What this means is the japanese public, after hearing about this, is not going to want to purchase a 3DS or 2DS, nor will they purchase any of Nintendo's Products. This is HUGE. You can laugh all you want, but Nintendo has alienated an entire market with this move.

What a shame because usually they're the ones that carry these kinds of titles. This game does it all right, from the use of the gamepad to how you unite morph using the right stick, if using the gamepad you can even see a well done map of the area and scroll through moves or other info. People probably played 10 minutes of the demo and threw up their hands in rage because they weren't auto comboing everything into oblivion or with style. Its all about learning, acquiring moves and using them where they work. That and most people only buy these things to play another Mario game or Zelda, yet complain when people stop working on your console to go where they just may make a few more bucks. Not gonna stop me from enjoying it and continuing to support Platinum games.

The Mario games don't need a real story anyway..same with Donkey Kong and Smash Bros.
If you like deep or at least long stories, there is always the big competition with lots of series with those.

there was a nintendo direct this morning about wii fit u and wii sports club! GET HYPE EVERYBODY
highlights: - wii fit u is launching november 1 as a free download that expires a month after download. if you buy a fit meter (advanced pedometer, 20 USD) the game won't expire. a retail release is set for december 13 - the wii fit trainer was redesigned!!! she doesn't look like the one in smash brothers!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
- wii sports club, releasing november 7, is an update to wii sports. the five original sports have been updated graphically and are now enhanced with wii motion plus and, shockingly, online play in the year of our lord 2013. - you will have to download the games separately. each game costs 10 bucks. the first games released will be tennis and golf, with the other 3 releasing at a later point. that means the whole game is 50 dollars. - or you can buy a day pass that lets you play all the games for 24 hours, which costs 2 bucks - this is confusing, expensive and i kind of hate it. the wii fit u deal is nice, you can basically get the game and a pedometer for only 20 dollars, but this is the complete opposite.

Not really that spectacular but the new wii u software update is out and it allows you to play the wii games from the wii mode on your gamepad now. well some games works with the wii u pad, others just uses it as a tv screen and still need a wii mote for it. Luckily, the wii u pad has a sensor bar built in.
Quote
Nintendo's pushing out version 4.0 of its Wii U system software, and it's bringing a few unexpected -- yet welcome -- changes. Ironically, tweaks to how the hardware handles titles from The Big N's last home console headline the update. Folks taking Wii games for a spin will now be able to do so using just the GamePad's screen, and enjoy Dolby Pro Logic II surround output -- though you'll still need a Wii remote to play. Iwata and Co. have also rolled in an image sharing tool that mirrors the one on the 3DS, which lets gamers share screenshots on Facebook, Tumblr and Twitter. With the fresh code in tow, demos from Nintendo can be downloaded automatically and a variety of USB keyboards are supported, to boot. The box's internet browser also got some attention, as it's been bolstered with the ability to open PDF files and remember user login details for web sites. Check your Wii U for the update or click the source link for the full changelog.
Oh look, one of those articles again... what a shock. -_-
I think that journalists do this just to get hits and pretend that they're really good because they're not afraid to talk about "that stuff."
Classist sounds like a word they just invented btw (even though it really is somehow).

Nintendo should allow more fighting games for their consoles. Capcom VS SNK 2 did really great back than for the Nintendo Gamecube. Same with Dragonball Games and Mortal Kombat. İt gives variation to Gamers. They need to do this for Wİİ U aswell really.
Title: Re: The Nintendo News Thread
Post by: "Bad News" Hoffmann on October 09, 2013, 07:29:16 pm
Lol, when did Nintendo ever forbid a third party developer to release a fighting game on a Nintendo console? Even the Mk games were ported in uncensored forms after the Mortal Kombat 1 debacle back in 1992 when only the Sega port was uncensored.
The thing is that the fighting game companies moved to the PSX and the Saturn back in the mid-nineties and the N64 got already only a few fighting games anymore. After the handful SNK ports through Takara on the SNES there was nothing by them anymore while they developed for the 32 bitters and later the PS2 and XB. SF Alpha, Darkstalkers, Tekken, Mortal Kombat were big on the PS1 and when the 128 bit generation arrived, Nintendo got only around 10 fighting games at all for their Gamecube while the PS2 got the most fighting games ever released on one console and the XB had only like 5 exclusive fighting games and a few ports, especially by SNK.
Last/Current Gen, the fighting games were again on Nintendos competition, mostly because the technical differences, and now Nintendo has a system there with the WiiU which is as strong or a bit stronger than the PS3 and games like TTT2, Injustice could be ported but sell like shit because the console itself sells very bad so far.
Nintendo needs to make deals with fighting game developers if anything, so it would be safe for them to develope for the WiiU and not lose money.

Yup, that wondered me too, especially because Ono once mentioned in 2008 or 2009? that they try to port it to as many platforms as possible and the PS2 could get a port too.
It was also weird to see Tekken 6 and SC IV getting vita ports but nothing for the PS2 which was still the most installed platform and technically both games wouldn't be a problem on it

And to expand on that, fighting games are generally a niche market. Most third party games on Nintendo consoles are already a niche market due to the much larger general preference for first party games. Therefore, fighting games are not exactly market viable on Nintendo consoles in general.

Post by: Duos.act on October 09, 2013, 08:39:55 pm
Nintendo will never be ideal for FGs because of their inferior netcode and weird peripherals and the FGC will not settle for those. Interestingly enough the Wii U version of Injustice is said to be the best looking and with the most stable frame rate. At least until the PC one comes out lol.

If you haven't played Super Mario, then you are a below average creator (according to Inafune). (http://www.ign.com/articles/2013/10/08/our-favorite-mario-memories) IGN article about various developers and their reflections of Super Mario.
Keiji Inafune said:
If any creator has not played Mario, then they’re probably not a good creator. That’s something I can say with 100 percent confidence. Mario is, for game creators, the development bible. There are so many hints about good design, about cute characters, about innovation in using an existing gameplay system. It’s something you have to constantly look at and examine and take hints from as a game creator. It’s the anchor that grounds almost all games. I have total respect for Miyamoto, to the point where… It’s very strange that there are national cultural treasures – they’re traditionally sportsmen. I think it’s very strange that somebody as famous as Miyamoto hasn’t been designated one of those people. He’s talked about in all different countries. Lots of people know him. He’s pushed forward Japanese culture and interest in Japan all over the world. He’s somebody that deserves everyone’s ultimate respect, and a lot of that is due to being able to create Mario. And Super Mario Bros. 3, of course, within that, was a fantastic game.

Posted: October 10, 2013, 12:54:07 pm "Deus Ex: Human Revolution – Director’s Cut costs quite a bit more on Wii U"
"For a few months now, retailers such as Amazon, Best Buy, and GameStop have listed pricing for Deus Ex: Human Revolution – Director’s Cut at $49.99 on Wii U and $29.99 on the PlayStation 3/Xbox 360. As it turns out, this is final.
Square Enix had been previously hesitant to officially reveal the game’s cost, but nothing has changed since retailers put up their original listings. We’ve confirmed with the publisher that the Wii U version will indeed set you back $50, but only $30 on other consoles.
Why the difference in pricing? Other than the fact that Deus Ex: Human Revolution has landed on the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 previously, I can’t really think of anything. The experience will be more or less the same across all platforms. " http://nintendoeverything.com/deus-ex-human-revolution-directors-cut-costs-quite-a-bit-more-on-wii-u/
After i checked prices in Europe too, it is similar here. The PS3 and XB360 versions cost 29€ the WiiU version 39€

http://www.siliconera.com/2013/10/12/zelda-link-worlds-concept-art-shows-hyrule-lorule-ganon/ In the same "old story" style of artwork as Wind Waker (or similar), we see the Imprisoning War again, likely still with OoT Link getting defeated but the Sages locking OoT beast Ganon anyway like the book Hyrule Historia says, and then we see another image of Link battling apparently pig-boar Ganon from LttP. No in-game version of Ganon yet.

http://www.destructoid.com/link-between-worlds-hand-holding-majora-s-mask-ties-263555.phtml Three things : - Aonuma doesn't want to hold your hand, he wants you to get lost, explore and find your way - wasn't originally intended to be related to LttP. Apparently the connection was kind of tacked on, just because. - the end / last part of the game might have connections to Majora's Mask. (edit - ???)
Title: Re: The Nintendo News Thread
Post by: Jmorphman on October 15, 2013, 09:38:55 am
Hmm, I dunno, to me it sounded pretty wishy-washy and/or a very oblique reference.
I don't know where it came from, but the article makes it sound like there was a rumor going around, and they specifically asked him about it, and Aonuma said "finish it and you'll see" which is usually the opposite of denial. I have no idea where that original rumor came from, or if there was any and why they even asked him about it if not, didn't know it was a thing. I wouldn't mind if there was no connection to Majora's Mask and it was a random ass question for no reason which Aonuma just laughed off. I don't care for MM.

Post by: Formerly Hoshi on October 16, 2013, 04:25:49 am
After he’s done answering questions, Aonuma adds: “Oh, one more thing. I see many of you have been asking about a remake of Majora’s Mask for Nintendo 3DS. It’s nice to see such a strong response to this title and we haven’t forgotten about Link’s adventures in that world. If you play A Link Between Worlds, you may better understand what I mean by that. “ Read more at http://www.siliconera.com/2013/10/17/zelda-producer-tells-link-worlds-non-linear-dungeons-work/#m1X7FsILkjvY86LA.99

Title: Re: The Nintendo News Thread
Post by: Ricepigeon on October 17, 2013, 07:10:15 pm
Hopefully just a reference because, if Link Between Worlds is a direct sequel to LttP, then that's going to cause a continuity error otherwise (LttP and Majora's Mask take place in two different timelines iirc).
Though that doesn't exclude the possibility of an alternate timeline Termina...
Title: Re: The Nintendo News Thread
Post by: Byakko on October 17, 2013, 07:32:30 pm
Yeah, that. Without talking about Termina, the fierce deity and Majora should both be lying around somewhere in that timeline as well. Not that I think they'll be actuallypart of the story or even a bonus stage or something, but it's not impossible that it shows up somewhere as something that's just lying around.
Title: Re: The Nintendo News Thread
Post by: Tyrant Belial on October 17, 2013, 07:34:27 pm
Termina exists in both time lines, just in one Link didn't save it and it blew up.
Title: Re: The Nintendo News Thread
Post by: Byakko on October 17, 2013, 07:38:25 pm
Well, in two timelines actually (the "adult Link came back after 7 years and defeated Ganon" timeline and the LttP timeline where OoT Link never defeated Ganon ; it was only saved in the timeline where child Link, who came back in time, put Ganon away before everything, and then visited Termina) But you're right, the moon destroyed it in these two timelines... So yeah, it's probably going to be some area that's been destroyed long ago and stayed uninhabited since forever because of some mad god, or something along those lines, whatever they want to do with it.
Title: Re: The Nintendo News Thread
Post by: Jmorphman on October 17, 2013, 07:46:28 pm
Hmm, well, isn't it possible that in the other timelines Skull Kid never found the mask and caused all that nonsense?
It's too depressing otherwise!!!
Title: Re: The Nintendo News Thread
Post by: Tyrant Belial on October 17, 2013, 08:00:05 pm
No, that would result in it's own timeline since Skull Kid findi9ng it is independant of what Link does in OoT. so we'd have 2 more.

I'm choosing to believe that in the two other timelines, Skull Kid never meets the mask salesman, because the butterfly effect, or something!
Considering that Majora's Mask follows the child timeline (that Link more or less created a huge time paradox after coming back from the future), its possible that the mask salesman fled to Termina after Hyrule market was taken over by the redeads in the Adult/WW timeline.
Still doesn't account for his possible appearance in the death/LttP timeline though, iirc, in Majora's Mask its implied that he's able to freely travel between Hyrule and Termina at will. Wether Skull Kid meets him in the LttP timeline or not is still a question mark, but I'm convinced that he does in the Adult/WW timeline.

Lalala I can't hear you Termina is fine in the other timelines >:[
Maybe Ganon got a hold of the mask, had it sealed away, something crazy like that!

İ agree with that. 3D has wheird results sometimes. İ am not saying bad but wheird insteed. 2D has easy layering options too. İ remember most Games in the year 2000 wich were basicly 2D but with 3D elements. Characters were designed from each side and felt 3D because of their movements. İ think most 3DS Games needs this. Not firstly 3D and than 2D. They should make it 2D first and than add some 3D elements really.

İ was commenting about Nintendo's ways of making Games and selling strategy.
We only hear company's talking about "we work on this and we work on that."
They keep their motivation high but, get unmotivated when sellings are low in reality.
My comment was for your line: "the game was already not coming to the wii u and it was for technical reasons."
Before they want good Games and good sellings, they should first fix their technical errors for their consoles really.

assuming walt's translation is accurate, which it seems to be, the reason they don't pay as much attention to fan ideas as they do to people drawing penises is that fan ideas are usually trash (http://fantendo.wikia.com/wiki/Fantendo:Main_Menu) and people sending penis drawings to minors could get them in legal trouble. i am pretty sure miiverse will be added to the 3ds sooner than later, which also lets you trade drawings but has a lot more moderation going on.

From the comments said:
"There's no defining moment, no memorable villains or characters"
You're looking for the right things... in the wrong game. That's main game Zelda stuffs.
As a man who's never played a Zelda game in his life, is this true? One shouldn't expect those things from a LOZ? It sounds a bit sad
Title: Re: The Nintendo News Thread
Post by: Byakko on November 14, 2013, 09:59:23 pm
Uh. The last line sounds like he's thinking this game is like the "smaller" Zelda games, those that are more filler / time-spending games, like the Oracle games and such. What he's saying isn't that Zelda games don't have that, he's saying that there are two kinds of Zelda games : the "main" ones, and the "small" ones I guess, and the small ones don't have those things he quotes. Long version, that particular point he's relying on is very heavily debatable. You could say that games like the Oracle ones, Link's Awakening, Majora's Mask, are not part of the "main" games because they're not central to the main storyline of Zelda games (the Triforce and Ganon), but even if you made that claim, those "small" games still had a lot of impact. Link's Awakening and Majora's Mask have a gigantic fanbase. ... Not the Oracle games though. Short version, no, it's not what you should expect in a Zelda game. Like hell, of course not. Many big characters and a bunch of memorable moments. And then he's also likely to be wrong in labeling ALBW as one of the "smaller" games and that it wouldn't have memorable characters and defining moment. They just came up with Lorule, and entire alternate version of Hyrule, that's brand new in the franchise (we only had the Dark World / Light World before).

Well sure, but it doesn't make it any less memorable. They didn't pull something that big and new in a long time.

I can pretty much guarantee it won't be. It's nothing to do with Xenoblade. It looks a lot more like a sequel/re-imagining of Xenogears, though how they're managing this without the rights to it I have no idea.

That legitimate salt being thrown around in the Batman: AO article about the PS4. I feel sorry for the Wii U to, but damn. Anyways, I doubt ubisoft will keep their promise. Even with Rayman selling the best on Nintendo's console they will ignore it and state bad sales for terrible ports, jackasses.

Excuse me if this sounds stupid, but I don't get it.......... All I see are Diddy Kong in the back of Donkey Kong, then Dixie Kong and Cranky Kong. Unless whatever that is there is something behind Diddy Kong, looks like some sort of regular background enemy. But it seems a bit obscured by Diddy Kong. Besides that, just the viking ships below the Kongs, on on top of the water.
I didn't see the original cover, I was looking for the boy/kid Stanley because I was a bit confused from Titiln's post. So I'm taking it the 4th one is Cranky Kong.

Sure feels like it. I've been sick since Thanksgiving. It let up just enough that I felt ok when wifey and I took GLB to Raw in Dallas for his birthday, but then it started up again. I don't know if it's the same cold or a new one, but the symptoms are the same.
I wanted to release something before the end of the year, but it's looking like that's not gonna happen. Partially because working too many hours (56 a week), partially because being sick, partially because Wii U.

Seven games are on the shedule for the wiiU in 2014 with confirmed releasedates so far.
There will be also Mario Kart, Smash Bros, Bayonetta 2 and X and maybe Watch Dogs if that one won't be cancelled.
If there won't be a wave of surprises, this year might be something very dry for wiiU only gamers.

hyrule warriors and yarn yoshi are also 2014 games. not a lot of worthwhile games, but it seems miles better than 2013. i doubt a noticeable rise in sales would bring third parties back into it. the wii often outsold the 360 and ps3 and yet i can't think of 5 worthwhile third party games for it. they're in that same spot here (except with horrible sales), most devs probably won't bother to downgrade their games for a wii u release. it's going to be another nintendo games machine and i'm fine with that.

Titiln: Muramasa the Demon Blade, The Last Story, Pandora's Tower, Tatsunoko vs Capcom, Sonic Colors. And some of those might be second party, and that's literally all I can think of.

Nintendo slashes Wii U sales forecast from 9m to 2.8m
Nintendo has cut dramatically the number of Wii U and 3DS consoles it expects to sell by the end of the financial year.
Wii U's estimated sales are down from 9 million to 2.8m, while 3DS is down from 18m to 13.5m.
The company now expects another full year loss.
Net income for the year had been pegged at a profit of 55 billion yen (£322m), but is now expected to be a net loss of 25 billion yen (£146m).
The launch of Wii U hardware bundles and key games such as Super Mario 3D World helped the struggling platform a little, but the console still fell short of Nintendo's recovery plans "by a large margin".

These Dark Samus jokes would be better if they were over-abusing her presence in Metroid games or she was intentionally out of place to get attention, like Tingle in Zelda games.
She was just around for Prime, made for a couple awesome boss battles, made a nice story for the Prime trilogy, forced you to kill your friends near the end, then got killed herself in dramatic fashion. Pretty cool looking villain too (http://static1.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20130406130409/metroid/images/7/7d/Mprime2_DarkSamus.jpg), for whatever that counts. I don't get what's so bad about her.
Spoiler, click to toggle visibilty
That or the joke went right over my head.
Anyways, if they're looking to branch out to phones and such, but don't wish to use their mainstream titles everyone knows them for to keep actual console sales up, does that mean they're looking to use some older titles that haven't seen any news in a long time? Or just coming up with new franchises, hoping they stick? (Or pushing them until they do)

pachter keeps saying unbelievably stupid shit about nintendo. no link because i don't want to give anyone hits because of it
Quote
So what's the solution for Nintendo? In Pachter's opinion, the company must swallow its pride and start publishing its first-rate software on competing platforms. Then, once Nintendo is ready to bring a more competitive console to the market, it can withdraw its support from the other systems and focus on its own platform again.
if things go completely sour for nintendo (console and portable turning into absolute failures) i could see them going third party. going third party and THEN reverting would be suicide
they should release a wii u without the gamepad imo. it would make the console much more affordable and most games don't even use it in crucial fashion. i mean, from the games i have:
nintendoland: the entire game was built around the gamepad so it wouldn't really work without it new super mario bros u: a player can use it to draw platforms. there's a challenge mode built around that. otherwise it's not needed. pikmin 3: better played with wiimote and nunchuck. gamepad can be used as a map and to order your characters around. this could be put into a paused menu so it's not really needed here either. the wonderful 101: drawing the shapes is much quicker with one of the sticks than on the touchscreen. some parts have you moving inside the gamepad while other things happen outside. other than a couple parts in the game, it's not needed. wind waker hd: gamepad is very convenient for map stuff and swapping items, but this could also be done on a pause needed. it's not crucial to the game. mario 3d world: a couple stages have "touch here to create platform" or "blow into controller to make wind thing trigger". otherwise it's not needed
the next games that are going to save the console, kart and smash, don't seem to make particularly interesting use of it either. neither is donkey kong country tropical frozen throne but that's not really a console saving game

I think you can even have that show up on your TV anyways, making parts like that even more trivial. I'm sure Bayonetta 2 may do something like it, but no way in hell it utilizes the tablet in any crucial function as well.
I'm so broken on the Wii U because I have come to love it. I can switch between my many wonderful Wii games, throw them on a small screen if I like and play'em in bed. The exclusive games it has vary between genres and overall play and look great. I do what I can though and unlike others try to buy the games new rather then used(why wouldn't I though? Especially first party nintendo titles for club nintendo points)

yeah but some parts need you to look at both screens (but then again i think it shows the other screen on the same screen like a picture in picture deal, i forgot). i like the gamepad, it's way more comfortable than it looks, it can make some things way more convenient, off-screen play is cool, it has potential for cool shit, but i don't think it's completely required for most games. make it optional.

Hold up, what? Since when can you play Wii (not Wii U) titles on the gamepad?

You can't use the actual controls on the gamepad itself, but project the Wii games to it like a mini TV. I usually just slap a pro controller on the Wiimote and play it as usual. Not like I was ever a fan of the motion control stuff either. I wish Madworld had normal controller support.

Really? Looks perfectly fine compared to the other two and unlike Sony it specializes on games, and doesn't have an electronics branch outside of it. What are you trying to tell me? They've been doing this shit for so long and now it's this? Oh my god you guys please stop it hurts. There's a reason they haven't "died" yet. They have, minimally speaking by my prediction, another 30 years in the least if they keep releasing handhelds, and you know they will. I'm sorry but this is ridiculous. Ridiculous.

Once Mr. Miyamoto retires of age in the next 10 - 15 years, I won't expect much from Nintendo anyway. Everyone else is either President or in charge marketing. So if Nintendo continues to drop down, I wouldn't be surprised. People would probably just move on.
Though Nintendo has been successful over the years. I'm sure they can try to back this up with secret trump cards or something.

Nice list and all..but while Nintendo's strongest games are still their Party games, Mario, Zelda and maybe Smash Bros their competition does not only come up with new games /game seires and characters..they also are able to make these so known /good/ sucessful that people are not waiting for sequels of their first big series anymore but also look forward to their next new games and sequels of their newer series. (Okay Microsoft still sticks mostly to Halo and Forza it seems)
If Sony would be like Nintendo, they would still release new Crash Bandicoot and Spyro games every 1-2 years including a lot spinoffs.
Instead they come up with new big IP's which stay big IP's for at least a good couple of years until they are getting replaces mostly with other successful IP's.
Examples alone from the platformer genre would be Crash and Spyro, both sold during 2000 but both were relative successful series when Koanmi /Activision made sequels/reboots.
Later there were Jak and Daxter, Sly Racoon and Ratchet n Clank. All three got their trilogys and more games till today. On the PS3 they came up with LittleBigPlanet and a few small IP's like Puppeteer.
That are 6 big series always with something fresh and unique while we have still Mario..Mario Mario..and ocassionally Donkey Kong or a Princess Peach game.
They make nice new games and game series, but none of them seems to be able to replace Mario for a while..in the end its again the plumber and the elf in the green costume who "rescues" Nintendo if they were not able to attract a new market like the "casual" gamers years ago

the list is mostly to show that "nintendo never tries new ideas or characters" is horseshit. they do take risks. some are smaller risks, some are larger risks. the wonderful 101 probably had a relatively big budget, it bombed, bayonetta 2 is also a risk. the wii u itself was a huge risk when they could've just made an updated wii with hd graphics without the gamepad, making the console cheaper overall. at the end of the day it's their better known franchises that sell the most. what do you expect them to do if that's how the market behaves? sequels for good games sell. don't act like sony never do sequels either. going by recent releases they're still milking gran turismo, god of war, killzone, ratchet & clank. their newest twisted metal wasn't that long ago. this isn't a bad thing, if the games are still good who cares.

Mario and Zelda are pop culture icons... even if Nintendo tried new things, (unless it has the breakaway success of Pokemon) people won't really notice at first glance.
Their distribution plan needs reworking, not the IPs they utilize.

Are you trying to be stupid today or did you really not get my point?
Which was that Nintendo needs to try to make new series something big. Nothing is wrong about sequels and HD remakes/collections if they are good. What Nintendo is missing is a big varity of game genres AND making their new games and IP's so good and successful that the gaming audience isnt just seeing them as the Mario,Zelda,Wii Party Games and Pokemon guys.
That and they need a really BIG third party support more than anything else.
Title: Re: The Nintendo News Thread
Post by: TTTTTsd on January 19, 2014, 07:41:38 pm
Honestly people ask for new IPs and when they happen, guess what? They do lukewarm. Wonderful 101, etc. and then people wonder "Why are they not trying anything new?!" Sales speak over anything else. If you support new IPs, buy games for a system that involve new IPs, whether they are Nintendo-original or not, it's still on their system. I don't think any smart company would bank on these "new" IPs if the numbers aren't gonna roll in.

Super Smash Bros has characters with all of their best excisting games from back in the days till now. The crossover shows what Nintendo has and gave to it's players all those years. What another option is, is that Nintendo can license more Manga and Anime series and make games for it. It's like Capcom did back in the days. That could work out there.

I'm really grateful for HD collections. I want to play those old games on my new shiny TV. Trophies, too, are a good excuse to replay and enjoy them. I've bought, I don't know, at least six of them? It's one of the big selling points of the console for me?
I'd much rather games be updated and ported than lost to time, especially as the technology gap between generations keeps getting smaller.

none of what you post makes any fucking sense. stop
yes, that's exploiting (make full use of and derive benefit from). it's not necessarily a bad thing, especially if the games are good, but implying that nintendo exploit their franchises too much while sony doesn't is ridiculous. the only reason sony doesn't exploit anything to the level nintendo exploits mario (aka a shitload of spinoffs) is simply because they don't have a mario. they don't have a franchise at that level. you'd have to be crazy to think that if sony had bigger names like mario and zelda they'd just sit on the franchises and do nothing with them since they're the super kings of creativity (http://i.imgur.com/mPD6hrN.jpg) and they never release too many of a thing. it's not like they released three installments of the same franchise on the same system (http://i.imgur.com/z9ZpJT9.jpg). that would be some nintendo shit.
it also explains why they're likelier to try a new ip instead of going back to an established one - they don't really have many established ips. just look at the roster for playstation all stars battle royale. when they manage to score a successful ip, don't pretend they don't milk it. ratchet & clank started in 2002 and already has 11 games. god of war started in 2005 and already has 7 games. 2007's uncharted already has 4 games. gran turismo has 6 games, not counting smaller concept releases. for comparison, mario kart (which started 5 years before gran turismo) has 7 games with the 8th one releasing soon. don't pretend sony are so much better in this aspect
as long as the sequels are good, who gives a shit

Sony frequently releases three installments of a franchise on the same system.
God of War is a rarity in its longer-than-usual development cycle, and I have no idea how Killzone works.
Three installments of a franchise on a system is actually pretty typical. It's how Final Fantasy has always worked and they have the most bloated development cycles ever. These days we're more likely to see 2.5, with digital distribution being what it is. I mean, Assassin's Creed's up to 6 now. 3 ain't bad.
But, no, the main reason Sony doesn't function that way is because they don't really have A Studio the way Nintendo does. They're a lot more second-party and about letting other people make exclusive work for their system, then sending them off into the world later on. Most big Sony studios and successes go third-party sooner or later, and Sony's biggest strength is incubating really strong second-party content.
I'm honestly not really sure if I'm arguing with you at this point, I just like the way they handle things most of the time and think it's how everyone else should do it. Insomniac is the only studio I know of that really lost their way under Sony, and that took a while.
Title: Re: The Nintendo News Thread
Post by: Cazaki on January 21, 2014, 04:30:44 pm
I think with Killzone it'll get an installment close to launch then one towards the end of the console life cycle so I don't know if it counts.

i was mostly going against the idea pushed by gbk and others that nintendo abuses their ips too much as if the others didn't. i don't even think too many of a franchise in the same console cycle is a bad thing as long as the games are good.

Yeah good games but, what good games? Same titles with newer stories to keep their characters in the scene. That's what happens all the time there.

I love the gamecube. Just seemed like overall less blockbuster (at the time) titles were on it though in comparison to PS2. I also remember it being lacking in things such as Madden games which was a big draw for the people around me so no one got it.

Nintendo HAS started getting into the second-party game, and I'm very happy for it. Mistwalker, Monolith, and at least partially Platinum are all making stuff for them. I don't know if there are any others and they only appear to be doing it with Japanese studios, but still, a step in the right direction.

Reading that article makes me realize they have a clear vision of what they want to offer, AND IT'S A GOOD ONE AT THAT! But apparently what they want to offer doesn't go hand in hand with what the general public wants.
Title: Re: The Nintendo News Thread
Post by: Titiln on January 22, 2014, 07:11:36 pm
here are my thoughts on nintendo's current situation
on third party support: ever since the gamecube i know better than to expect a lot of great third party games on nintendo's home consoles. the wii also failed on that aspect for the most part. i know by now that i basically need two consoles: the nintendo console because i love nintendo games, and a microsoft or sony console because i know the nintendo one will miss out on great third party games no matter what. i know i'm not gonna play metal gear on a nintendo console anytime soon. of course i'd like it better if the nintendo console had all the great third party games but it's not happening, especially considering the wii u is underpowered compared to the xbox one and ps4 and most devs won't bother making downgraded versions of their titles. they didn't bother for the wii (which often outsold the 360 and ps3), they're sure as fuck not going to bother now.
on the wii u: recovery is looking difficult. the "we're going for a relatively weaker console, but with a great new revolutionary controller" approach didn't pay off this time. like the article said, they've failed to make lots of titles that make significant, otherwise impossible gameplay. i still think a much cheaper mario kart bundle without the gamepad (the game's not going to make significant use of it as far as i can tell) would be attractive to people. i really don't think the wii u is going to make a significant recovery like the 3ds. the 3ds barely had any competition. the wii u has the ps4 and xbox one. the best the wii u can hope for at this point is gamecube numbers.
on significant distribution changes/taking cues from the mobile market: does nintendo need to change their plans? yes absolutely, their current one isn't exactly working out. the virtual console, for me at least, isn't attractive in the least. there's so much potential there. they have years of awesome first games and they're just sitting on them, slowly trickling them out. the only vc game i've ever downloaded is mario kart 64 on the wii. there aren't many games and they're kind of expensive. i'd rather spend that much money on a new game. i wouldn't hate it if they took some good cues from mobile gaming, like offering cheaper titles or free to play ones. i'm just really concerned future releases (on all systems, not just nintendo) become infested with shitty microtransactions (i'm looking at forza 5). i really hope consoles and gaming in general don't go that way, but it seems to be inevitable.
on nintendo going third party: they have a relatively successful portable, they have money. it's not happening anytime soon. nobody should even consider that situation until they somehow end up with both portable and home console bombing completely.

Nintendo is likely to become a third party, for android/ios. I think they want to make their android/ios games ina way that instead of microtransactions they make you buy the DS/wiiu games.

Title: Re: The Nintendo News Thread
Post by: Xanden on January 24, 2014, 01:16:15 am
I think Nintendo would be hesitant on releasing a title (even if a downgraded version of a portable or WiiU game) on mobile, because that means the end of Nintendo as a Hardware company. Also, of they made a mobile game, people wouldn't trust their next console, and just wait for them to die and become a hardware company.
Mobile is sort of a problem for Nintendo anyways, as Nintendo has always been aimed for kids. But now? Kids are playing on there phones or PCs, devices they already have, because why pay money to play games when you could play games on something they have now?
And, in all honesty, I'd cry a little knowing some kid's first memory of Mario was a mobile game.

There's also
the article said:
Wiitalia tried to contact some GameStop store, and in each case the conclusion was one and just one: Wii U version of Watch Dogs is not available for preorder because Ubisoft cancelled it.
So the actual source is the site itself. It's pretty easy to verify - a simple call to the store.

I myself was in the city earlier today and asked the local gamestop (north germany) (just 2km away from here) how it is with the wiiU version.
Same as in italy, he does not take pre orders for the wiiU version anymore but also said that this does not mean that the wiiU is really cancelled
There are also reports by people that american and canadian gamestops are still taking preorders and list the wiiU version as well as amazon
The game is also still listed at the ubisoft website as well.
Maybe its just a confusion because a mistake send to or by some european gamestop office guys?

Clearly Eurogamer knows what's best for Nintendo. :sadgoi:
Nintendo is facing pretty much what nearly every Publisher goes through; old Japanese guys aren't very good at gauging today's younger, international market. Not helped by the fact that the Japanese are pretty set in their ways in doing business. Too hard to find new blood to allow these companies to flourish the way their capable of... is it any wonder why (people believe) the west has overtaken them?
It's not that big a deal though. This makes it sound like Nintendo is in do-or-die more, which they're not. To imply that removing Miyamoto (and not doing anything else in the process) would result the end of Nintendo's problems is foolish.

It's a matter of time before they figure it out (hopefully)
sony and microsoft are also figuring out their "here's a controller with its own screen" thing, but the difference is that the vita and the surface tablet aren't bundled with their respective consoles (although i do hear rumors of a ps4 and vita bundle, but since it would be a separate bundle it would be very much optional) and adding into the price of the package. they're optional and you can hop in whenever you're interested. whenever that awesome use comes along.
nintendo's approach with the wii was to bundle the weird controller with the console, but the difference is that wii sports was an amazing showcase of its potential and it caught on like a mother fucker. it's safe to say at this point that such game for the wii u doesn't exist. as long as it doesn't exist, there's little reason to include the gamepad. their upcoming games don't make good use of it. make it optional, let people buy it when there's a good reason to.
Title: Re: The Nintendo News Thread
Post by: JustNoPoint on January 29, 2014, 06:01:40 pm
As long as they continue to make products that still make use of the pad. Most 3rd parties probably won't. But having the inventories and maps on the gamepad in Wind Waker HD made the game much more enjoyable.
I can't guarantee I'd have bought the system with the gamepad though if I would have had a cheaper option. It's pretty annoying that their new games won't have any practical use for it. But really what all could you put on the screen for Donkey Kong. Mario Kart could have the map and/or the mirror. The change in WiiU options are needed but it kinda sucks for everyone that already invested in the gamepad.
They should put a DS player on the system. Using the controller as a bottom touch screen. That's like the most I could see getting out of it =/
Title: Re: The Nintendo News Thread

EXACTLY. It's kinda like what happened with Deus Ex Human Revolution. The Director's Cut version on the Wii U is the better game out of all the existing versions.
Not to mention the Wii U isn't exactly a SUPER INFERIOR console. It's already better looking than the previous gen. There's already such a large amassed know-how to make games with those limitations in mind, that Developers should be able to make good games at a reasonable cost for it.
Kinda like the 3DS having great games with the old refined technology of the PS2 era. Texture tricks, optimized models for low performance impact. Those are good games that shouldn't be too expensive to make. The same for the Wii U. Whoever isn't ready to spend JAGILLIONS OF DOLLARS in developing for the newer machines, could stay back in the Wii U. Like Atlus for example.

You know , it's funny how hanging out in some anime forums there are discussion about resolution ( 720p, 1080p, 4k) , screen size and viewing distance and how at a certain distance there is no difference in watching a 720 video or a 1080p one, yet I have not seen anything like that regarding videogames in any of the videogame forums I frequent. basically if your screen is not big enough or you are not close enough, the visual will be pretty much the same.

There's more to it than that though. Since the Wii U is relatively "weak", it'll have lower res textures, and a less stable framerate. Having played a few PS4 games, the stable framerate and razor sharp textures definitely stand out, regardless of how far away you sit. It takes a bit more scrutiny to discern the difference between Xbone and PS4 games, though.

Title: Re: The Nintendo News Thread
Post by: Titiln on January 31, 2014, 05:04:37 pm
this has never happened in any other game in any other system, as far as i know. the amount of people that bought the season pass (let alone the game) must've been so low that they decided it was more profitable to make refunds and not port the dlc at all.

Alright, let me say this in a friendly manner. I never replied to a Batman article since i wasn't interested in doing so. I was trying to say that they are getting worse with the WII U.

Last month, reports began circling of GameStop stores in Italy and the U.S. canceling pre-orders for Watch Dogs on Wii U. Ubisoft confirmed with Polygon at the time that the Wii U version had not been canceled, but Nintendo's third quarter financial report published on Jan. 30 did not list Watch Dogs as a Wii U title coming this fiscal year. Ubisoft again confirmed that the game was slated to launch in the first quarter of Ubisoft and Nintendo's fiscal year 2014-2015, which begins in April.

I'm not familiar with it either but, their website seems indeed a bit off looking. Ubisoft has many great titles so i wonder why they are making so much deal with Watch Dogs again. Afterall, it's a good thing that there will be a WII U version but, just look at how many articles they have about it coming and not coming all the time. It was also said that Ubisoft’s abandonment of the main trademark could possibly mean that they are planning to change the name of the game.

The GBA VC games were given to only early adopters of the 3DS when it was at full price, they don't want to spit in their face I assume but thats stupid considering how long they have had it and that having them on the library to pick from wouldn't hurt.
Title: Re: The Nintendo News Thread
Post by: Titiln on February 14, 2014, 01:19:45 am
they could also add games not part of the ambassador program. the gba had more than 10 games. Posted: February 14, 2014, 01:59:45 am that said it's not exactly news that the way the vc has been handled has been a massive waste of potential and there's no sign of this changing at all. games are few, released sluggishly and too expensive. cross-buy should also be a thing at this point
Title: Re: The Nintendo News Thread

The people that bought the first 3DS batch are a small minority of the current userbase.
And they have had it for so long those games must be gathering virtual dust.
And Nintendo would probably charge more or less the same for the 10 individual games as the cost gap between pre-price cut 3DS and post price.

Super Smash has more small childish looking characters. Yes, it is a smash game and adding them isn't a problem.

He doesn't look out of place, he looks similar to everyone else that we listed. Look at what you're saying, you say "he looks out of place if you don't count [long list of all the characters that have a 'realistic' design similar to him]". Obviously anyone is going to look out of place if you don't count all the others that look like him. This goes against logic. You're trying to compare him to the likes of Mario, Villager, or Pikachu. Of course you're going to find that he looks different, but to begin with you're not supposed to do that. Compare him to those that look like him instead. You'll see that it's nonsense to say he looks out of place.
I think Little Mac looks totally awesome.

Title: Re: The Nintendo News Thread
Post by: "Bad News" Hoffmann on February 14, 2014, 06:22:41 pm
I thought that 7 is really a bit too much.
One vehicle with all the koopalings on board and them fighting constantly for control would have been a better idea.
When Iwate mentioned we would not guess which new characters there are he was right but i totally hoped for a change in the mario kart cast with characters from other Nintendo games.
Changing Mario Kart to something like super smash bros after so many MK games could be great and allow tracks through the many Hyrule Worlds or Brinstar...a F-Zero Track etc....
Title: Re: The Nintendo News Thread
Post by: Titiln on February 14, 2014, 06:30:59 pm
i like them, personally. it's not like mario kart is missing obvious mario characters at this point. it's better than baby waluigi or bone bowser. i would've rather seen some characters from warioware or donkey kong, but they're not bad choices. the idea of having all 7 at the same time sounds like a disaster in every possible sense
actually where the hell is magikoopa, he was supposed to be in mario kart 64!!!
i'm sure nintendo kart will happen at some point, but as long as mario kart games sell i don't see it happening. no need to use that card yet
Title: Re: The Nintendo News Thread
Post by: Person Man on February 14, 2014, 06:49:53 pm
I've always liked the Koopalings, so getting a chance to play as any of them I want is a win in my book. Besides, better to have them than a bunch of generic enemy types filling out the roster. Yeah, we totally need a Koopa Troopa and a Para Troopa and a Dry Bones each taking up their own spot.
Title: Re: The Nintendo News Thread
Post by: Santtu on February 14, 2014, 06:55:02 pm
Obviously not, everyone knows fighting games don't have items. And yes, I think that at least 6 of those slots could've gone to better characters like Shyguy.

And yes, I think that at least 6 of those slots could've gone to better characters like Shyguy.
My point is that the slots are not "wasted" because if they wanted to add Shyguy, they would do Shyguy, without caring if they'd already done the Koopalings already. There's no justification for thinking that the Koopalings are taking the place of some other characters they could have done instead, or in other words "wasted slots".

It seems a bit too soon to remove that considering they don't have much in terms of online play anyway. Especially the Wii games. You can still play them on the WiiU so it takes features away from their current system. Which is exactly what they don't need right now!

Well JNP it's happening in May which means Mario Kart 8 is coming out, Mario Kart 7 is still online, 3DS games are still online which is the newest gen of Pokemon which everyone who plays competitively needs to have anyways, and the servers haven't been doing too much beyond a few things anyways. It's unfortunate but it's been like, 5 years if not longer and it's just costing extra money when they have a superior networking service running for those who keep up to date.
Also new Donkey Kong game is amazing why has nobody said anything about it in here! Just finished World 5-2, what a rush!

After looking through my library, the only games I'll actually miss the online are Brawl, Mario Kart Wii and Pokemon Platinum/Black/Black 2. AC: Wild World/City Folk had a dead community when I got it, as does Phantom Hourglass, Mario Kart DS was laden with ragequitters and hackers in a year, and I didn't even know Bleach: Blade of Fate, FF3, Goldeneye DS, FE: Shadow Dragon, Scribblenauts Collection, Sonic Colors DS, and Tetris DS had online. Metroid Prime Hunters and Star Fox Command I didn't play enough to work with online in those.
I don't think I'm missing out by losing online in any of these, but I might be wrong.

I recommend nobody should buy a wii u. wii u is the worst and only has upscaled 720p rehashes. I scamed into buy nsmbu for 55 dallors, that game was a quick cash grab and SMB3W was just sm3dl with cat suits and hd graphics. Nintendo love scaming their fans and giving them bullshit. notice how nsmbu is still 50-60 dallors since 2012. Nintendo is evil and greddy corperations. Nintendo dosent even care about gamers, all the care is about kids and parents money. Nintendo fanboys are deceiving people to buy the wii u. I was a fool into thinking wii u is next gen. am saving up for an xbox 360.
From a commenter. Wow, real talk. Wii U still has more games of interest to me than PS4 and XBone. Whatever Retro Studios makes next is on that list.

In regards to the Wi-Fi Connection shutdown, some user on GameFAQs has posted evidence that GLU Mobile is truly to blame for it. Since the WFC was run through Gamespy and GLU bought that out, apparently they have been shutting down support for older games.
Quote from one of the supporting links showing that other companies have been affected by this previously.
Quote
New submitter OldTimeRadio writes "Over the last month, both game publishers and gaming communities alike were surprised to find their GameSpy multiplayer support suddenly disabled by GLU Mobile, who purchased GameSpy from IGN this August. Many games, including Neverwinter Nights 1 & 2, Microsoft Flight Simulator X, Swat 4, Sniper Elite, Hidden and Dangerous 2, Wings of War, Star Wars: Battlefront are no longer able to find (and in some cases even host) multiplayer games. While games like Neverwinter Nights are still able to directly connect to servers if players know the IP address, less-fortunate gamers expressed outrage on GLU Mobile's 'Powered by GameSpy' Facebook page. In an open letter to their Sniper Elite gaming community today, UK game developer Rebellion explained it was helpless to change the situation: 'A few weeks ago, the online multiplayer servers for Sniper Elite were suddenly switched off by Glu, the third-party service we had been paying to maintain them. This decision by Glu was not taken in consultation with us and was beyond our control. We have been talking to them since to try and get the servers turned back on. We have been informed that in order to do so would cost us tens of thousands of pounds a year — far in excess of how much we were paying previously. We also do not have the option to take the multiplayer to a different provider. Because the game relies on Glu and Gamespy's middleware, the entire multiplayer aspect of the game would have to be redeveloped by us, again, at the cost of many tens of thousands of pounds.""
I bought a Wii for Brawl. I used to play it online religiously every Monday for hours. I'll miss it, but couch play is better anyway. I Brawled this past Thanksgiving with my nieces which was great. Three of them against me with handicap on and I still won. :laugh:
Other than that I mostly played Pokemon Battle Revolution, with some Animal Crossing City Folk (before HDCL), Excitebots, TMNT Smash up, Tatsunoko Vs Capcom, and yes, Castlevania Judgment.
My only regret is not making a point of playing The Last Story online. I never did get those online-only items. Guess I'll see if I can grab a few before time is up.

Yeah I just finished all the achievements except the one where you have to finish the third arena with the skeleton skin. Now I know that I'm going to miss some extra content :|
Maybe as DLC if the new moves and whatnot don't involve the Wii U's controller in a way that would be impossible to adapt to the PC version.

In an interview with NowGamer, Rocksteady's Dax Ginn explained that the decision to release Batman: Arkham Knight on PS4, Xbox One and PC and not Wii U, PS3 and Xbox 360, was made in response to the question: "what do we have to do to make the Batmobile work?".
"It was the one thing we hadn’t done," Ginn explained. "Once we decided we were going to commit to the Batmobile, all these other technical decisions were made for us."
"We knew that we had to do it right – the imagination of the experience of driving the Batmobile that people have is that it’s fast, that it’s destructive, it’s kind of a tank in Gotham City, but it’s also highly technical – all of those things can only be done on next-gen," said Ginn.
. . .
We followed up with Ginn to ask whether that's the same issue that's arisen with the Wii U, whether the console doesn't have the power for Rocksteady to do what they wanted with Arkham Knight.
"We have to make our technology choices specifically with reference to the gameplay objectives that we want, so we choose the platforms that are going to give us that," said Ginn.
"Wii U is next gen." "Wii U isn't next gen". 8 years from now this argument will continue on. Will Nintendo cave next time though? Just say screw it and bring on the power house matching Sony and Microsoft every step of the way?

it's a next gen system because it's part of the next generation of consoles (8th generation, wii u, ps4, xbone). the system's power is another issue altogether. it's next gen and it's comparatively underpowered.

Than let's just say that the Wİİ U is the successor to the Wii as we all know. It is the first Nintendo console to support high-definition graphics. Just simple and doesn't need arguments like it is or it isn't next gen right?

While your post provides an explanation, it's not necessarily a satisfying one. Under that loose definition, the Ouya is also next gen, because who cares about the power.
Title: Re: The Nintendo News Thread
Post by: Titiln on March 29, 2014, 12:14:48 am
the ouya is part of this generation, low power and other issues nonwithstanding. if it's not part of this generation, then what the hell is it? it's definitely not part of the ps3/360/wii (released 2005-2006) generation. if the ouya somehow was a success then industry exxperts would be comparing its sales to the xbone ps4 and wii u. it turned out to be a joke and nobody cares about it at this point, but it's part of this generation and will go down in history as such.

Quote
The knock would be that Mario Kart 8 doesn't play all that differently than the other Mario Karts. Graphics aside, I couldn't tell you a good non-business reason for Nintendo to keep 8 from also running on the 3DS. The gameplay isn't beyond the capabilities of Nintendo's popular handheld. But, hey, Nintendo still likes to spend time and money making a game that only a portion of their audience can play. It worked before and I guess they think it still works now.
i guess this same argument could've applied to mario kart 7. why put it on the 3ds instead of the wii, a console with a much larger install base than the failing 3ds?

I hope it's true. Actually why doesn't Nintendo make all previous circuits return in game? Something like a unlockable mode for classic circuits in game. Would be great imo.
Also, the game might still get the double dash dual racers wich the gamecube had. I enjoyed thatone and it was very cool to play with friends around. If they include those, this game will have most of it's needs completed. I hope they can solve the processing power and costs of it.

It's great but, I wish they had a option to be able to play with the Super Mario Allstars graphics of Super Mario World 3 they had for Snes. Both Nes and Snes graphics.

It has been a while since there was a game for the series. The original game was for the Playstation 2 wich brings the "why is this only WII U" question. The game should atleast have a Playstation 3 release and ports to other consoles. Nintendo doesn't share it's games with other platforms. It is also wheird not to release the game outside Japan.

Mario Golf - World Tour DLC confirmed [3 packs, 2 x 18 hole course each, Season Pass] (http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showthread.php?t=805959)
Quote
Nintendo is offering players the opportunity to nearly double the amount of content they can play in the Mario Golf: World Tour game, which launches May 2 for the portable Nintendo 3DS system. With 10 courses and 126 holes (an amount equivalent to previous games in the franchise), extensive multiplayer modes as well as regional and worldwide tournaments, the main game offers plenty of content for golf fans already. But players who can’t get enough golf and want to expand their experiences can purchase up to a total of 108 new downloadable holes and additional Mushroom Kingdom golfers. The DLC opens up further challenging courses for players to enjoy as they test their skills (broadband Internet access is required).
“We’re letting fans expand their experience with Mario Golf: World Tour,” said Scott Moffitt, Nintendo of America’s executive vice president of Sales & Marketing. “Some players might be content hitting the links on the numerous courses already included with the game, while others will appreciate the option of being able to add to their fairway fun with new courses and characters.”
The downloadable content for the game will be released in three separate packs: the Mushroom Pack launching on May 2, the Flower Pack launching later in May and the Star Pack launching in June. Each pack includes two new 18-hole courses and a new playable character. Players will receive Toadette with the Mushroom Pack, Nabbit with the Flower Pack and Rosalina with the Star Pack.
Each pack will be available for $5.99 from Toad’s Booth, which can be found in the main menu of the game. Mario Golf: World Tour owners who know they want to buy all three add-on packs can buy a Season Pass at a discounted rate of $14.99 starting May 2. Season Pass holders will get access to each new pack as it becomes available, and will receive a special bonus of Gold Mario as a playable character at the time of purchase. Gold Mario has a special Golden Flower shot that gains coins for every yard it travels. For those who purchase all three packs individually, Gold Mario will also be available once all packs have been released. Nintendo will also offer Trial Tournaments for consumers interested in trying out a sample of the downloadable courses before deciding to purchase. Consumers who own the game and download the Trial Pack will be able to participate in these online tournaments.
The original game was for the Playstation 2 wich brings the "why is this only WII U" question. The game should atleast have a Playstation 3 release and ports to other consoles.
the fourth game was exclusive to the wii

More Baby and Metal Versions of characters for MK8 NA MK8 Direct (http://youtu.be/JbuJZP0_8iQ) EU MK8 Direct (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=flpfRzP2ONU&feature=youtu.be)
Quote
REDMOND, Wash.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–One month from today, Mario Kart 8 will be driving players wild with anti-gravity racing action. To get people revved up for the Wii U game, Nintendo released a new Nintendo Direct video that announced some additional news nuggets, including a Mario Kart 8 Wii U bundle, a free downloadable game offer for Wii U owners who buy Mario Kart 8, details about online features, cool new characters and devastating new items.
“Everyone loves Mario Kart,” said Scott Moffitt, Nintendo of America’s executive vice president of Sales & Marketing. “It’s a franchise that brings people together for fun at a family gathering, a frenzied race against friends or just an afternoon break at the office. The numerous new features of Mario Kart 8 make this the most ambitious version yet, and one that will have players of all skill levels racing for the checkered flag.”
To view the Nintendo Direct in its entirety, visit http://www.nintendo.com/nintendo-direct. Some of the new information announced today included:
Mario Kart 8 Wii U Bundle: People who don’t yet own a Wii U system will find it easy to get in on the action. On May 30 Nintendo is releasing the Mario Kart 8 Deluxe Set bundle that includes a Wii U Deluxe Set system, a Mario Kart 8 game, a red Mario Wii Wheel accessory and a red Mario Wii Remote Plus controller, all at a suggested retail price of just $329.99.
Get a Free Digital Game: People who buy Mario Kart 8 and register the game with Club Nintendo before July 31 will receive a free Nintendo eShop download code for an additional Wii U game. Players can grow their Wii U digital game collections by choosing from one of these well-received Wii U games: New Super Mario Bros. U, Pikmin 3, The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker HD or Wii Party U. That’s a two-for-one deal featuring some of the all-time great Wii U games. This offer also applies to people who get the game in the Mario Kart 8 bundle or digitally in the Nintendo eShop.
Games For Europe (http://i.imgur.com/TPzTiXx.png)
Online Multiplayer: Up to 12 players can race together online in four different multiplayer modes, as long as everyone has a broadband Internet connection. Like to trash-talk your friends while you’re preparing for a race? You’re in luck! Mario Kart 8 lets players chat with one another in the lobby area using the Wii U GamePad microphone or text phrases as they wait for their friends to join. Players also can create public or private tournaments for which they specify the day of the week, the time and the rules. Per tradition, players will be able to race against ghost data from friends or even the top 10 worldwide racers. They can try to beat them or just pick up a few tips and tricks from studying the best. If you beat the development team’s ghosts, you’ll get cool stamps for use in Miiverse posts.
Mario Kart TV: As previously announced, players can watch their highlight racing reels, rewind them, play them in slow motion or upload them to Miiverse. They can watch the world’s most popular highlight reels and comment on them. But players with Google accounts can also upload their reels directly to their YouTube channels.
New Items: Items are what make Mario Kart games so balanced. No matter how skilled racers are, they’re just a blue Spiny Shell away from disaster. A well-timed item can also turn defeat into victory in an instant. The new Super Horn blows away all other items – literally. Sounding the Super Horn issues forth a sonic shock wave that blasts away everything in the vicinity, including other drivers, Red Shells and even blue Spiny Shells. It’s a potent asset, especially for drivers trying to maintain their lead. Mario Kart 8 also introduces the Crazy Eight, a swirl of eight different items that lucky players can use one by one.
New Racers: Two new playable female characters make their debut appearances in Mario Kart 8. New heavyweight driver Pink Gold Peach glows with a golden light and makes a nice counterpart to Metal Mario. Baby Rosalina shows up for a play date with other Baby characters. As in past Mario Kart games, players can again choose to play as their Mii characters, which rounds out the field of racers to an even 30.
Lol no Bowser Jr.

Don't Mario Karts have unlockable characters usually maybe they're saving characters like Birdo and Dry Bones as unlockable otherwise 3 version of Mario and Peach is terrible and 2 version Luigi, Daisy and Rosalina is almost just as bad but outside of that the rest of the game looks great.

Nintendo has announced plans to release character figurines with built-in Near Field Communication functionality that are compatible with Wii U and 3DS games.
Planned for launch from this year-end sales season, the figures are code-named NFP, for both “NFC Featured Platform” and “Nintendo Figurine Platform.”
The figures are designed to be compatible with multiple games for Nintendo platforms. Nintendo is aiming to develop more software titles with NFP compatibility.
“Nintendo has a lot of well-known character IP that has originated in video games, and we have been regularly releasing titles from game franchises that make use of this character IP,” Nintendo president Satoru Iwata said. “This is why I believe a brand-new type of platform will be born when the character IP becomes compatible with NFP.”
NFP figurines can be both read and written to, so it can tell what character figurine is in use, and a compact amount of data unique to each game can be written into it and read from it.
“You will be able to customize your NFP to raise or train your own Nintendo characters, for example,” Iwata said.
At launch, NFP will only be compatible with Wii U. However, a wireless 3DS NFP reader/writer is in development for launch in the first half of of the next calendar year.
Nintendo will announce NFP compatible titles at E3 in Los Angeles next month, as well as showcase NFP produces and disclose more specific information about the figurines.
Outside of NFP, which Nintendo detailed during its latest financial results briefing, Nintendo also revealed its first smartphone app, Mario Kart TV.
Mario Kart TV is a web service that will let users watch shared videos and view rankings from Mario Kart 8 by logging in with their Nintendo Network ID.
Some more information on it.

I'm glad they're making more use of the NFC reader in the Gamepad.
I just hope they don't make the figures GameStop exclusive this time. As a guy who bought 30+ figures over the course of three Skylanders games, I need my options for BOGO sales. And especially don't make them random again. That kept me from bothering with Pokémon Rumble U and Disney Infinity.

A pretty informative post from what is normally the cesspool known as Gamespot. I think this may shed some light on that question.
Quote
As a Chinese, I want to make a few points.
1. Students is a big part of gamers in China. General families can afford consoles and games, but parents in China are not interested in purchasing those stuff because they do not wanna their children spend too much time on games.
2. Low-income people in China won't spend a penny on games and consoles, they struggling to survive.
3. Chinese have very rich gaming experience----on PC
4. Chinese gamers prefer f2p games, they do not like spending money in advance, but once they find the game is good, their purchasing power can be really strong. A lot of people had spend thousands dollars in a single game.
5. Console ban lifting is really meaningless, won't change much.
I'm interested in seeing how Nintendo formulates their plan around China's gaming preferences.

At Nintendo, dedication has always meant going beyond the games to promote a sense of community, and to share a spirit of fun and joy. We are committed to advancing our longtime company values of fun and entertainment for everyone. We pledge that if we create a next installment in the Tomodachi series, we will strive to design a game-play experience from the ground up that is more inclusive, and better represents all players.

people like feeling identified with the games they play , specially when they are things like SIMS where you are introducing your friends and family and having romances and dates with other characters.
Do you think that if the game lacked the option for having black people you would go

Since I am black...I would still be completely indifferent. Unless it's a racial bias thing, I just don't really see the point. Which is the same here, if Nintendo did show a bias against homosexuals, then I would agree, but until then, it's kinda pointless.

In a game of "simulate your life!" being told "lol you cant be black, silly". Means your skin colour or whatever it is you identify as being you is not representative of enough people to even be considered normal.
If you are not going to let a person represent themselves in a game , maybe dont make a game about simulating themselves.

i feel a lot of the outrage is misguided. it's a game released a year ago in japan (where gay marriage is illegal) and it's getting an overseas release to see if people give a shit. they can't just go "oh let's add gay marriage to the game. hey CODER MAN please edit [GAYPEOPLE = YES] in rules.ini please and thanks", it's not that easy. the whole thing should've been "please add gay marriage to the sequel" instead of "add gay to the game or we're never buying anything nintendo you pieces of shit"

*Sigh* Alright, let me actually turn this into something of a conversation...
I'm not saying, acting or getting all in arms about Nintendo apologizing about something that offends people, I find it pointless that this is even a thing, let alone the approach people took. This type of thing isn't just a state of a game, but more of simply the state of the developers. If they decided to not make a black people a choice, I wouldn't be offended, but I would see people disappointed. If they CHOSE not to because of a racial bias, then I would be offended and not in this passive state, but if they chose not to simply because it was no reason, then I wouldn't be offended, but again, I'm not saying people shouldn't BE offended.
I already stated the reason I'm not offended by this sort of thing(I don't really ever put myself in any game, Life Simulator would be included), but I'm not saying others shouldn't be offended if they see it this way, but as Titlin put it, I'm more disappointed of the approach since it honestly went nowhere, especially since you will obviously get those who will just act ridiculous rather than logically. So...there you go.

also i feel not letting the game know "hey this mii is homosexual" makes the game awkward if you have homosexual friends and want to put them in the game (since the game is basically about you creating characters representing yourself and people you know in real life, looks and personality included, and watching stupid situations play out, like weird musical acts) because then suddenly your gay mii friend is dating a girl and that would be extremely far from what the reality is. it's not just an issue for homosexual people playing the game
and then oh god what do you do about the bisexuals?? because what if someone is hetero but not into bisexuals. how can the game know. jesus christ there are too many variables. cancel the game

Wow, thanks for stuffing words in my mouth that I never even meant.
I'm saying it's not an issue from my perspective, but it can be to others, that's been my stance this whole time. My main issue is simply the fact that I find that people have, again, taken this to a stupid conclusion than a logical one(aka, simply tell Nintendo to put it in the sequel since the game is already out in Japan and not act insane about it), which only makes these things worse since if Nintendo really want to be asses about it, they can easily just do Japan only sequels from then on(because I honestly believe a huge amount of developers are Prima Donnas rather than actual businessmen).
And nice strawman about my sentence being equal to slavery, quit it already, you know that wasn't what I was going with in that statement anyways.

I'm guessing that Nintendo's recent statement was the second response.
This is the typical difference in cultural beliefs conflicting with one another and creating conflict. I'm sure Nintendo didn't maliciously disallow same-sex relationships.
As far as the other point: Regardless if they meant to or not, it's pretty hard to ignore the presence (or lack thereof) of a particular grouping of people (even if someone knows the reason why it may be the case). I mean, it's rather uncomfortable to feel like your kind was excluded and pretty easy to become emotional about it.

It was their second response; their first response was that the game takes place in a whimsical land and they didn't want to make a social statement.
It definitely doesn't seem like a malicious thing, it just looks like Nintendo doesn't want to piss anyone off.

This. No transsexual would want to go through the same shit they go in real life to get they gender correctly. It is a frustrating process. We will just pick the gender we identify with and be very, very happy.

It really was [blown out of proportion]. It's not a gay life simulator. It's a mii universe simulator with odd quirky scenarios. Just because it doesn't have gay relationships doesn't mean nintendo discriminates. It WASN'T the main focus of the game, and the scope of this game is limited so i don't know what the fuck anyone was expected. If you want a gay life simulator go play second life or play ultima 6 and have gay sex with dirty pirate gigolos.
Not necessarily anything wrong with the main point (bold), but clearly not the best argument to support it. Also the last part of that statement was completely unnecessary (and was probably what he was banned over).

But it's not about a game "being good" per say. And the people who do want better tolerance of same-sex relationships seem to care.
Not Nintendo news (sorry), but I guess this discussion nicely segways into this: Sims 4 rated +18 in Russia (http://arstechnica.com/gaming/2014/05/russia-hangs-adults-only-rating-on-the-sims-4/) due to "the promotion of homosexuality to minors."
Quote
The Russian Federation has placed an 18+ rating on the upcoming release of The Sims 4, marking the game as "prohibited for children" due to a controversial law restricting the promotion of same-sex relationships to minors.
News of the rating comes via a tweet from the official Sims Russia account, which was later followed up with an explanation to a curious player. "18+ [rating] has been assigned in accordance with the law number 436-FZ 'On the protection of children from information harmful to their health and development,'" the tweet reads (via Google Translate).
That law, passed in September of 2012, has already drawn widespread controversy around the world for seemingly criminalizing the mere mention of a person's own sexual orientation and encouraging violence against Russia's LGBT community. The law drew protests and provoked safety concerns for some athletes during the Sochi Winter Olympics earlier this year.
Sims games routinely get T for Teen (ages 13 and up) ratings in the US, PEGI 12 ratings in the European Union, and M (ages 15 and up) ratings in Australia. In Germany, The Sims 3 was even rated as appropriate for ages 6 and up by the country's USK rating board. The games have included the option of same-sex relationships since the series debuted in 2000.
Based on the number of comments on Destructoid, seems like this was worth it's own thread. :P
Some people believe that like the Russian law, Nintendo is/was unaccepting of gay relationships (which I don't think is true and a misunderstanding). That's why people are making a big deal out of it.
Title: Re: The Nintendo News Thread
Post by: Omega on May 11, 2014, 06:20:40 pm
The thing is that some people accept same-sex relationships and some not. I don't think those T for Teen or 18+ ratings can solve that. I just started to think that they make more games for adults and not for kids anymore. A game concept isn't decided by it's ratings as they just have to write it on the cover because of the laws. Every gamer plays the game they wants without even caring about the ratings it has there.

Oh boy, you really got me! That was pretty clever, you're so totally right! You've really opened my eyes, man, all of our eyes, shown us the folly of our actions.

Being ignorant of the issues at play here is much, much less worse than knowing why people upset and then going on to say "well it doesn't affect me personally so I don't care, and you guys shouldn't care either!"
The former is a lot less douchey and less morally repugnant, too!
*sigh* So I'm douchey AND morally repugnant...for being apathetic to the issue...

Technically if it doesn't affect someone and they are apathetic to it they don't need to actually say it because it has no impact. By making a statement at all declares it has some meaning.

It's the land of the free and I get the freedom to say to people who think that people who get all hot and bothered by a simple campaign to raise awareness to the issue that they're being dumb. And you get the freedom to argue your dumb views. Freedom of speech is not freedom of consequence! And also this isn't the land of the free, it's a forum!
But I guess we will just have to agree to disagree.

So I also have the freedom to say that you honestly need a chill pill as you are going bonkers over an issue that has not only solved itself, but as I stated countless times, just makes everyone dumber because of how it's being handled rather than how it is.
Trying to make me the evil or dumb one because I'm not as passionate over the issue you are is not you being the moral victor, it's you being the douchebag and me being apathetic to the issue. And obviously this is a forum, but considering how it's still arguing over LGBT rights, it obviously has to be in a place that is mostly welcome to it, which means it has more bearings to the English side, now does it?

Dude, I'm just stating my opinions. We all are stating our opinions here. No one needs to take a chill pill.
I feel passionately about this (or as passionately one can be about a dumb life sim), so I'm stating my opinions on the matter. You disagree, and you're stating your opinions on the matter. And that's all fine! No one is going bonkers. Stop trying to make it go bonkers. Wanting gay options in a life simulator is not bonkers.

I think you're misunderstanding things here, the whole "this is a forum" is about how the whole "well this is a free country" line doesn't really hold weight here, because this is a privately owned internet forum, not America. But it is one that allows these kinds of open debates, and there's nothing wrong with that. Unless it starts taking over an unrelated thread, like this whole discussion is about to.

Quote
Looks like this title is being developed by BOTH Omega-Force and Team Ninja. Both Mr. Hisashi Koinuma and Mr. Yosuke Hayashi will be producers of the game. Of course it's supervised by Nintendo's own Mr. Eiji Aonuma
Introduced characters are Link and Impa (since Impa is written on the same group as Link I wonder if she could be playable. Still my own speculation though)
And there are also original enemy characters here: The Black Witch Shia The Scorching Berserker Varuga The Magician of Darkness Wizuro (Wizro?)
Shia is the main enemy character here, and the latter 2 are her underlings

[avatar]http://i42.photobucket.com/albums/e315/Tiger_Stripe/discordintrigued.png[/avatar]In other Hyrule Warriors news, Impa just got confirmed as the first playable character other than Link. (http://www.gamecity.ne.jp/zelda/character_inpa.html)
Several other characters are playable too. Aonuma was surprised by how many.
I do not know if I should take that as a good thing or not. Hopefully, they will have a lot of work put into them as well.
It's Koei's Warriors series, of course they'll put a large amount of playable characters and push them as far as they can. Even a dozen characters is nothing for them and would already be a lot for Zelda (the two upcoming games have 140 and 50+ characters each).
The Warriors series happened. How to make it not feel weird to mow down three dozens of enemies with a single slice ? Just make the sword big enough.
Cia seems pretty unique for Zelda (though here again, it's classic for Koei), but Valga and Wizro are cool. I wonder if Aonuma's involvement means it will officially take a relevant place in the timeline.
Looking around, it doesn't seem like these shots have been posted : http://www.allgamesbeta.com/2014/05/hyrule-warriors-higher-res-screenshots.html Training gear Link, and also awesome views of Hyrule Fields/Hyrule castle and Lanayru valley (I think it was called that but I can't find which site I saw it on).

Warriors is mostly just point-A-to-point-B, plow through waves of enemies ; at most, it's in several parts as the story unfolds in the middle of the map (go there, then stuff changes, go here, repeat). However, there's still this one screenshot of Link opening a chest, so it's still possible they incorporated some of that, but I'm not betting on it - Warriors is almost never indoors. I do expect the possibility to pick up weapons (or weaponized items), so that Link can sort of "change class" and use a caster moveset, a grappling hook moveset etc. On that alone I think it's doable, but keys and compasses and heart pieces, I don't think so. I'm not counting too much on puzzles, though it could be cool and easily work if it's part of some objectives and still part of the battle system (get there, use the hook on this area to open access to here etc.) but classic Zelda block-pushing and such, nope.

The chest is what's giving me hope. That and I hope Nintendo may guide them a bit with some direction. I would get bored with just beating up hordes of baddies for hours on end. I'm not even expecting a full on Zelda game inside a DW game. Just a little bit of puzzle and exploration in an outdoor"dungeon" would be nice. As long as it's not just point A to point B mash buttons and kill stuff all game long.

I was always very wary of getting into the Warriors series, but I played Orochi 3 and the way the story advances while in battle makes it kind of work (don't stay on it for too long at a time though). Since Zelda can easily be story heavy if Koei puts its heart in it, it's doable. I do expect more Warriors action than Zelda action. (I edited my previous post BTW)

characters can change their weapons and have a completely different fighting style. Since it’s a Warriors game, he also revealed that there will be weapon enhancement and character growth systems implemented in the game. Similar to other Zelda games, weapons and other important in Hyrule Warriors are acquired through treasure chests. Hayashi also said that the iconic treasure chest opening animation has been prepared for all of the playable characters.
Knowing the Warriors version, it doesn't sound like you'll be able to switch weapon in the middle of a fight, but at least you'll get the weapons by finding the chest (in Warriors you just buy them at a shop outside of battle and you select your weapon before the battle)
Quote
Instead, they’re giving the boss fights a Warriors touch, by having instances where you’ll face a bunch of smaller enemies to charge up your meter, then unleash a special attack on the boss. There will also be more Zelda-like features, such as strategically using items that can be found around stages to take on the boss.
YES. So you probably pick up items on the ground in the middle of the fight and you use it against your target. It doesn't automatically mean it'll also be possible to do something similar for exploration, but that's a start, and at least there's a decent chance it'll go this way.

Knowing the Warriors version, it doesn't sound like you'll be able to switch weapon in the middle of a fight, but at least you'll get the weapons by finding the chest (in Warriors you just buy them at a shop outside of battle and you select your weapon before the battle)
Quote
Instead, they’re giving the boss fights a Warriors touch, by having instances where you’ll face a bunch of smaller enemies to charge up your meter, then unleash a special attack on the boss. There will also be more Zelda-like features, such as strategically using items that can be found around stages to take on the boss.
YES. So you probably pick up items on the ground in the middle of the fight and you use it against your target. It doesn't automatically mean it'll also be possible to do something similar for exploration, but that's a start, and at least there's a decent chance it'll go this way.
Since Dynasty Warriors: Strikeforce, you can switch your weapons mid battle.

Strikeforce was an entirely different system. I know this cus I broke that system very early in the game.

I've only actually played Warriors Orochi 3 but I've been eyeing the series for a while (I've been scared of the repetitiveness and the difficulty of remembering the story, characters, and weapons). I assumed the weapon system was mostly the same as in Orochi 3 because I never noticed that feature in any video or gameplay explanation I've come across, even the Koei Wiki barely mentions it, what the hell. Now that I'm looking for it, apparently 7 and 8 do have a secondary weapon system, but it's impractical (Strikeforce switches with a button press, while 7 and 8 seem to require going through a pause menu), that's probably why I never noticed it. Okay, maybe there's a chance Koei will adapt that system and make it much easier. Hopefully. Especially since I doubt they'll include the system with multiple characters and the ability to switch character in battle, they can replace that with a quick weapon switch system. There's a chance, then !

Just going to say that actually in dw7/8 you can change to your other weapon with a single input, no menu. Though you went through a switch attack/counter depending on when you did it.

They're more or less button-mashing light shows. They can be fun, I suppose, if you've never played one before. I have played just about all of them and it starts to get monotonous after a while. I heard the most recent DW finally offers some variety in the gameplay, I haven't checked it out though.
Don't bother with the Anime spin-offs.

Yep, on the Wii U there's Warriors Orochi 3 Hyper. (http://www.ign.com/games/warriors-orochi-3-hyper/wii-u-142961) Although if you feel like waiting, the PS4 is getting Ultimate sometime this year.
If it counts there's also Ken's Rage 2 (http://www.ign.com/games/fist-of-the-north-star-kens-rage-2/ps3-135753) which is pretty much Dynasty Warriors meets Fist of the North Star. Although from what I heard about it it's pretty bad.

I'm perfectly fine with Shia, all things considered she's no worse then Twinrova was, she just has more Polygons.
Eh, to me, she looks like she's gone way too over the top compared to Twinrova.
And also her design in general is just dumb.
Yeah, I agree to an extent. I REALLY hate her design too. Though no one else I know is making a fuss about it.... But then again, over sexualized characters tend to annoy me (I'm looking at you, Bayonetta.)

Though that said, there IS a Zelda villain who was on par with that design, not named Twinrova... Veran, look her up on a Zelda Wiki... her proportions are WAY out of whack....

A more "cartoon-ish" color would've looked better for this game; I guess they agreed to let Mercedes use their signature silver. Also looks out of place since Mercedes are supposed to be luxury cars so seeing them in a karting game is kinda odd.

No not something like 3D Mario World . No side scroller, no soccer, no racing. A new genre for the Mario series. Nintendo can make this work. Something new could be a true boost for their consoles and games.
Title: Re: The Nintendo News Thread
Post by: Niitris on June 09, 2014, 11:54:42 am
Nintendo already has the biggest game they can make, an all-star brawler gathering some of the most iconic characters in all of videogames. (http://mugenguild.com/forum/topics/super-smash-bros-3dswii-u-151222.0.html) They also have some lesser known IPs that receive games every so often, even if some are underused (F-zero where are you); their games are fine.
A true boost for their console (and games by proxy) would be stronger 3rd party support (something they had in the SNES days). There's only so much they can do about a console that most people don't consider next-gen.
Title: Re: The Nintendo News Thread
Post by: "Bad News" Hoffmann on June 09, 2014, 12:11:05 pm
Perfect point.
The question is just this one: Why should someone who does not care about Nintendo games buy a new Nintendo console when there are only a few games not made by Nintendo or for its Audience?
On the Sony and even the Microsoft competition such people get a graphically stronger hardware and even if they are not Sony or MS game players they have enough variation by all the third party developers. There are options for basically every big and niche genre available there while Nintendo gets maybe 2-4 games per month which are not made by Nintendo directly. and have no big variation of genres.
Title: Re: The Nintendo News Thread
Post by: DNZRX768 on June 09, 2014, 01:43:49 pm
You know, Nintendo have tried the massive 3rd Party support option for their consoles before, as well as the "console that is as powerful as the current gen consoles" option (Nintendo Gamecube is as powerful as the PS2 and Xbox. And boasts a 3rd party library 3 times greater than Wii.). But both options bombed spectacularly (Gamecube finished last in that generation). They would be understandably hesitant to try something that failed once before.
Remember, just because a console does not widespread 3rd party support does not mean it is a failure. There is value in taking the Quality over Quantity route at times.
Title: Re: The Nintendo News Thread
Post by: "Bad News" Hoffmann on June 09, 2014, 01:57:28 pm
Wanting to being able to play Tekken, Street Fighter, Mortal Kombat,Injustice, BlazBlue and KOF on one console instead of only Tekken and Injustice and somewhen at the end of 2014, Smash Bros. does not mean to take a quantity over quality route.
It simply means a lot more available quality.
Title: Re: The Nintendo News Thread
Post by: rednavi -RETIRED on June 09, 2014, 03:25:47 pm
I really don't know why Nintendo takes this road nowadays with their consoles. Why are they so stingy about the cost to manufacture them when investing that extra of money would result in far greater third party support?
I mean sure, they probably want to keep the costs as low as possible to sell the console for a low price and with that get most of the younger audience but the other companies have no issues getting young people to buy their consoles as well.
A Nintendo console with far greater third party support would definitely win most of the market because a lot of people who likes Nintendo games would no longer have a reason to buy another console if their shitty flavor of the month FPS appeared in Nintendo's console too.
Title: Re: The Nintendo News Thread

I don't think Nintendo is really competing for Sony/Microsoft's marketshare anymore, and that's probably the way they like it.
They've successfully differentiated their product, I'm not sure why they'd go back on that.
Title: Re: The Nintendo News Thread
Post by: Niitris on June 09, 2014, 04:04:19 pm
They are; Nintendo emphasized more "hardcore gaming" in marketing for the Wii U. Reason they went back is because pride/business I guess. Maybe they weren't confident that they could replicate the success of the Wii doing the same exact thing or just wanted to make their platform more versatile (probably the latter).
A Nintendo console with far greater third party support would definitely win most of the market because a lot of people who likes Nintendo games would no longer have a reason to buy another console if their shitty flavor of the month FPS appeared in Nintendo's console too.
They'd have a problem winning over the US. People there have quite the attachment to the Xbox brand (even after the Xbone fiasco) and their exclusives/ 3rd party treatment. Yearly sports games and shooters are still given the best incentives on the XB1 despite PS4 being the preferred of the 2 consoles. Nintendo would have to hope Microsoft fucks up even worse than last year.
Best case scenario for Nintendo: Microsoft scraps Xbox like rumors suggest (and nobody takes it over) combined with Sony underachieving with PS5.

3rd party support isn't something you do it's something you acquire. Gamecube showed up too late to beat the highly anticipated PS2. N64 was beaten by Sony's move to use CDs (for the PSX) instead of cartridges, making games more cost effective.

The Nintendo stream https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YCZ734RshPA is showing more of Hyrule Warriors Right now, in a level from the Twilight Realm. Link has the hookshot that pulled him at a flying enemy (and pulled another flying boss to the ground), and I think I saw the boomerang. ... Fire Rod Link playing right now. ... Check that : Massive Fire Bazooka. Loving it.
edit - and it's over for Hyrule Warriors.

I noticed that in the original Hyrule Warriors Trailer, it had skyward sword-ish enemies, the demo is definitely TP. Along with MOOOOOOOOON. And Argorok, I guess bosses and enemy from all games show up. As well as all areas.

It could be an alter or a decent playable version for Link. We had two versions of Link himself in Super Smash Bros. A young and adult version. It could be something like that. It could be a costume aswell. Or they are including a teammate like Mario and Luigi, Sonic and Tails.

Hah, yeah, I thought of that too. Last year he talked about rumbling the feathers of the status quo, so maybe it's finally an actual adventure of Zelda. ... Then again the character looks nothing like Zelda either (any version). It's still Link's hair.

http://www.siliconera.com/2014/06/12/hyrule-warriors-lets-summon-moon-majoras-mask/ The demo of Hyrule Warriors they played on the stream in the Twilit stage. Didn't see Midna's "fused shadow" giant form last time, I expected it and I love it. It's also quite original to see other characters like Midna use classic items like the hookshot. Also, in addition to item power-ups with the Great Fairy, there still are secret places hidden behind rocks you have to blow up (not included in this demo) and using the hookshot to get around, so the Zelda style is definitely safe. Oh, something I wanted to say when they first showed the other stage (with King Dodongo), the map completely looked like some others from Warriors Orochi 3 (the only one I played) with very similar textures and objects so I was a little worried, but the Twilit stage made up for that, it's a lot more like the actual place from TP.

Nintendo planning future for new 2D and 3D Metroid (http://gematsu.com/2014/06/nintendo-planning-future-new-2d-3d-metroid)
Quote
We might not have heard about a new Metroid at this year’s E3, but Nintendo is having internal discussions about where to go with the series, and wants to “take care of” both the series’ 2D and 3D styles.
“So it has been a while since we released the last one and we’re having discussions internally about what we can do next,” Nintendo SPD group lead Shinya Takahashi told Kotaku. “So at this point we have two different types of Metroid games. We have the Prime style of Metroid game and we have the more traditional style of Metroid game. We feel that we do need to take care of both of these styles of play. And the hope is that at some point in the near future we’ll be able to share something about them.”
Title: Re: The Nintendo News Thread
Post by: Omega on June 13, 2014, 12:10:39 pm
That is great news. It is good to know that they are aware of using both Primes and the traditional Metroid game styles for this. I enjoyed the Metroid Prime and Metroid Other M games. I wonder if this will be a followup or a total new game with a new story. Metroid fans waited very long to get a new 2D game.

I also liked the fact that it had post end-game content and allowed you to go back to the ship and get any collectibles you may have missed without requiring you to start a new savegame from the beginning. I hope more Metroid games allow you to do that in the future.
But yeah, I'd rather take another Zero Mission-like Metroid over any other kind. Other M was an alright one-shot game for me to pass the time and I find the Prime series kinda boring (Must be The environment and music, I prefer something more colorful like the GBA ones. Guess that's why I liked Other M too).

I was talking about basically not really having a story or really trying to make a character with the world or people in the setting. Other M was a bad attempt, but it's still an attempt I'm on board of because it still has some stuff I liked about it.
Gameplay wise, it looked and played pretty good too and making the environments non-linear would be the best touch, but that wasn't what I meant.

'Any' story is story is not automatically better than no story.

3D World is a great example of being both experimentative whilst simultaneously staying true to the roots of the franchise. In fact I would say Mario is pretty good about balancing experimentation with fidelity to the fundamentals of the series; on the other hand Metroid has really only gone through 2 or so overhauls (Prime and Other M, Super is debatable but it's mostly an outgrowth of the original). And that's not a bad thing or anything, because so far it has worked out in Metroid's favor, give or take a Prime Hunters or Other M.
Well no, Other M played like shit too. Sakamoto has no idea what made the series good and he should not be trusted with any further games in the series or be allowed to write character for Samus since we really don't need her to be reduced into a insufferable secondary character in the fucking game she stars in.
Well I dunno if I would call it shit, but it definitely had serious issues. The fundamentals of transplanting the 2D style of Metroid gameplay to three dimensions was pretty sound, but the implementation left a lot to be desired: the incredibly stupid switch-to-first-person-combat-to-fire-missiles shit; the rejection of the series's raison d'etre of exploration because you already have all the items, they're just waiting to be activated when you hit the right story event, so just keep following the path laid out for you (compounded by the pointlessness of the few collectables that do exist); the utterly drab and uncreative environments; and those dreadful first person pixel hunt stuff.
And that is of course ignoring the story, because the words do not exist to properly denigrate that thing.
Keep Sakamoto on the 2D, have Retro handling the 3D. Worked before.
At this point I can't help but have serious doubts that the games he was involved in with before were good because of him. But I dunno, maybe the loss of most constraints in him telling a long shitty story lead to most of Other M's failings.

I mean, she didn't really have a character before Other M (which is not an inherently terrible thing). But you could make certain assumptions, based on the monologues in Super and Fusion and the Zero Mission manga: she's devoted to justice, she never gives up, she'll go up against the steepest of odds and even her close allies if they stand in the way of galactic peace, and she's suffered immense trauma throughout her life but always rises above it.
Other M presents a Samus who goes weak in the knees at the first sight of her former commanding officer because she desperately needs a father figure; who desperately needs a baby put in her; who regresses into a child and gets someone killed when faced with a clone of her parent's killer that's she's already faced half a dozen times (and don't give me that "well this time she thought he was really dead", because she didn't act like that in the manga when first encountering Ridley, and she already went through the "oh my gosh Ridley's alive again" stuff in Super); who is so desperately willing to please someone who does nothing but treat her like absolute crap throughout the entire game and would rather burn to a crisp than decide to enable a passive heat shield because he didn't authorize it yet; who makes no decisions on her own that aren't first handed down by the actual main hero of the game (Adam, who also not only is the only person who gets to play the final level but also runs off with it); and who doesn't seem remotely similar to the woman that appeared in the other Metroid games.

Well even without that, the fact that she is one woman who has canonically blown up a good few planets all in name of intergalactic peace suggests that she must have ovaries of... whatever the power suit is made of.

Outsider looking in, but the impression I got from Other M was that Sakamoto tried to make Samus more "Japanese" (obedient). Why did he think that was a good idea I have no clue.
Can't comment on gameplay but I'd imagine it's not a whole lot better.

Yep, she's got characterization by her actions too (though that applies to most game heroes, it's still something, because I don't get how someone who mudered an entire species and then exploded a planet goes to crying that her ex-commander doesn't want her to play rescue mission with him). She faces armies completely by herself, and always comes out on top.

2. "Sexist"...are we seriously using that word AGAIN without knowing what it means? If anything, you are looking at misogynistic, which by technical terms, isn't present in the game either. If anything, it's character derailment of a character that had virtually none.
3. Actually, a bad story IS better than no story because it's still better than lauding a character that pretty much has no character and is a cardboard cutout than basically removing it because people randomly started crafting things in it's non-existence.

No story > bad story, every time.
Using resources on something that will be abhorrently awful (not that most video game scripts are a masterpiece or anything) devalues a game; resources that could go to something else to make the game better. Not that devs shouldn't try to make a story, but I don't think anyone would pass trading a poorly thought out script for a superior game mode.
Misogyny would be the more accurate term, but sexist (in which misogyny is one kind of sexist attitude) isn't wrong. If the story writer(s) thought that having a woman go through the "be an obedient solder at all costs" shit was going to fly overseas (where most of the fandom was located), they was in for a rude awaking (which rightfully happened). The fact that the lead female was reduced to a complete subordinate to some guy who isn't nearly as important implies that females of lesser influence should be treated with just as little respect if not less.
EDIT: term is actually "male chauvisnism" (belief that men are superior to women). regardless of the term, point is that samus is defiled as someone who doesn't fight off a "sexist environment" (which is also bad characterization because there's nothing awesome about being bossed around by a secondary character).

That is objectively false. Also I honestly don't know what you're trying to say in the last half of that sentence
Let's say, for the sake of argument, that 'fun' is something that can be measured by an objective, quantifiable amount. Now say we have two games that are exactly the same amount of fun. Game A has fun gameplay, but has no really significant story or characters. Game B also has fun gameplay, but has a terribly written story and characters that are not believable and unlikable, and which actively detracts from a player's enjoyment of the game. In this case, Game A is a demonstrably better game for not having a story because even though gameplay-wise they're identical, Game B is less fun to play because of the extra elements that ruin the player's experience.
In other words: If I have two cakes, one with chocolate frosting and one with chocolate frosting and a giant turd, I'm not going to eat the turd cake just because there is technically more stuff on it.

lol no.
You can have a spider-man game where you have no story and you just beat up bad guys and you can have a spider-man game where the story is that he got raped by his main villain the hobgoblinator and now is seeking him out to rape him in revenge.
the first is okay the second is disgusting and stupid. Other M seems to fall squarely into disgusting and stupid by removing Samus traits in order to make her a super anime waifu, any kind of character assassination effectively turns the story worse.

I just want a game that wipes the stench of the most recent effort. Preferably in 2D, focusing on solid gameplay design, and not going to the other end of the extreme because "we must redeem Samus character" or whatever.

Xhomnid, we know you have a hard time thinking about this stuff rationally since your brain uses 99% of it's functions on wanking off over anime titties, but even you should be fucking able to understand that Metroid other M is actually sexist. If you don't, you are in some serious denial.

I don't like to be shit called period, especially over a game of all things. So if you want to be pissed off on me actually giving Other M that shot, then you might as well blast me for giving chances to plenty of "bad" games too.

And I already debated gameplay-wise in another post, so thanks for only using another comment in that I didn't elaborate on.
Yeah, I only responded to the post you made that was replying to mine, in which you ignored my gameplay critiques because LOL RAGE. Don't see why I should even bother trying to respond to anything else. Not when there's much so many other people to talk about Other M with.
Using resources on something that will be abhorrently awful (not that most video game scripts are a masterpiece or anything) devalues a game; resources that could go to something else to make the game better. Not that devs shouldn't try to make a story, but I don't think anyone would pass trading a poorly thought out script for a superior game mode.
Indeed. There's far, far too much emphasis on putting out shitty stories delivered by long cutscenes these days. The actual game bits are all in service to a series of movie clips. What does it say about the medium of video games when cutscenes are the reward of doing well? It's insane. Instead of exploring how to use gameplay to advance a narrative it's too often the case that it feels like the game is only there to be a connective tissue between the cutscenes, to tell a story that makes no sense and . I mean, it's not like cutscenes are inherently awful or anything, and it's not that you should never ever use cutscenes to deliver story, but you shouldn't do so to the exclusion of doing it through gameplay. Like, take Super Metroid, it has the opening and closing cutscenes, but there's also the fantastic Mother Brain/Metroid confrontation, which conveys so much without a word being spoken, and has you acting it out.
anyway the point of my long shitty unconnected rant is like, cutscenes are too often used to deliver shitty story and games should make more of an effort to deliver story via gameplay, but cutscenes are still very useful, just don't write shitty stories, or something.
I mainly just want a sequel to Fusion. I think the absorbing gameplay would be an interesting way to go with the franchise and you've got a valid excuse for Samus losing her stuff that doesn't involve some guy watching her burn alive.
I also think a sequel to Fusion would be neat as hell, perhaps they could explore expanding the absorption mechanics to be active instead of passively giving you upgrades when you defeat a boss? Especially if they keep the X gone for good.
Seriously, the virus removes half the work of plotting. Samus loses her stuff? Oh, someone did something that messed with the X virus! Ridley's back? Someone did something with the X virus! Mother Brain cloned herself a new body based on Samus' DNA? Wibbly wobbily X-ey Wexy Virus!
I don't think they even need a reason most of the time; Prime 3's method of just dropping a semi-upgraded Samus into the mix from the start worked out pretty well. I missed this before, and I desperately need to talk more about Metroid!!!
I also liked the fact that it had post end-game content and allowed you to go back to the ship and get any collectibles you may have missed without requiring you to start a new savegame from the beginning. I hope more Metroid games allow you to do that in the future.
Wait, what? Every Metroid game lets you do that. :-\
Spoiler, click to toggle visibilty
although only Other M lets you do that stuff after the final boss, but there's only left over items in the first place because you don't get the Power Bomb till then. And then you can't fight the final boss anymore, which sucks!
But yeah, I'd rather take another Zero Mission-like Metroid over any other kind. Other M was an alright one-shot game for me to pass the time and I find the Prime series kinda boring (Must be The environment and music, I prefer something more colorful like the GBA ones. Guess that's why I liked Other M too).
Huh, well, Prime's music was actually done by the same guy who did Super and Zero Mission, Kenji Yamamoto. He's fantastic, and basically the Metroid composer. I dunno why they went with someone else for Other M, the result was really really forgettable. Oh wait, just remembered Yamamoto was doing DCKR the same time as Other M, maybe that's why? Still though why couldn't they couldn't they have gotten Minako Hamano (who worked with Yamamoto on Super, Zero Mission, and Prime 3, and did the Fusion soundtrack) to do it? Boring generic orchestral shit is no fun!

Yeah, might as well. Fusion stated that Samus destroyed all of the X-Virus due to literally causing the entire planet to go boom and I wouldn't be surprised if they do pull Other M and make the Federation make more by taking and keeping more samples to clone them(and Ridley...and the Metroids...and ANOTHER Dark Samus as well).

I have nothing to say as I like those games but, Metroid could use a new side character next to Samus Aran. The music also in the Metroid games are space based themes. It could use some variations with many instruments. More action and more tempo in it's themes.

Result of the evolution of gaming that will never reverse itself. While there was always an natural desire for "realistic presentation," the standards for it have increased considerably from 20 years ago. Using gameplay to tell the majority of a story worked when there wasn't a viable alternative, but today it would be seen as lazy and underfunded.
Off tangent, but I feel bad for gamers growing up in today's industry. Sounds like nostalgia goggles are on too tight, but I can say for sure that gaming years ago was considerably better than now, mainly because there were more of them and because the aforementioned standards of realistic presentation have skewed priorities in an unfavorable direction imo.

Well, cutscenes have been around for a long time, I'm not sure the "use gameplay to deliver story" thing was every really super popular in comparison. But now that the constraints have been loosened and developers can include hours and hours of cutscenes, it definitely feels that often the focus has shifted to exalt those cutscenes over everything else, positioning them as the sole reward for doing well (to tie this back to Other M, recall that the reward for beating the game is a special mode that edits out all the gameplay and stitches the cutscenes together to form a terrible, shitty movie), and as a result the gameplay suffers. There needs to be a better balance, and while there's certainly a ton of games that can tread that line, it feels like the current AAA development environment is increasingly losing sight of that line.

"but titiln, it's a new ip, nintendo needs new ip" i don't give a shit, that doesn't mean it's automatically great. splatoon is a new ip too and it looks awesome. i love the character designs there and the gameplay looks a lot of fun. but codename steam is my enemy

When the object enters the timestream, time begins to correct itself. Let me use this example: Imagine four balls on the edge of a cliff. Say a direct copy of the ball nearest the cliff is sent to the back of the line of balls and takes the place of the first ball. The formerly first ball becomes the second, the second becomes the third, and the fourth falls off the cliff.
Time works the same way. This, my darling, is a device. A device many men and many women have died to see, to understand, and to own. In many ways it is like one of your toys, but a toy for adults. This, darling, is The Zybourne Clock. For Dirk McLauren, Wedesnday January 19 2381 has begun very poorly.

Next year’s Legend of Zelda might feature multiplayer (http://gematsu.com/2014/06/next-year-legend-of-zelda-might-feature-multiplayer)
Quote
The next Legend of Zelda game, announced for Wii U at E3 earlier this month, might feature a multiplayer component, according to producer Eiji Aonuma.
Speaking with Game Informer about the upcoming Dynasty Warriors-based Zelda title Hyrule Warriors, Aonuma said, “The two-player functionality of Hyrule Warriors is actually something that has traditionally been done in the Dynasty Warriors series, but they’ve changed because of the hardware and the second screen on your GamePad. Instead of having a splitscreen on the television, you have one-player playing on the television and one on the GamePad.”
He continued, teasing, “When I was talking back about making Zelda more than just a single-player experience? That’s something you will see in the future, maybe next year.”
Nintendo should make classic characters and their titles return in 3D and HD. I would like to see SMB2 and SMB3 with the same graphics and style like they did with SMB WII.

No collectibles, that's a disappointment.
Mario Maker will have the physics of the current SMB games even with the retro visuals. (http://www.nintendolife.com/news/2014/07/takashi_tezuka_mario_maker_wont_move_quite_like_the_original_mario_bros)
Takashi Tezuka said:
My greatest challenge right now is that the physics of the original Super Mario Bros. and New Super Mario Bros. are very different. So, people who are used to today's Mario games might have a hard time with the original if they're not accustomed to it. With Mario Maker, the retro Mario style looks that way visually, but the controls are a little bit closer to today's Marios.
I have a feeling that if I make the original Mario style content control like the original Mario, people used to current Mario may not enjoy it. So, we haven't carried those exact physics over. Yet there are parts, of course, that I don't want to let go, that I want to continue.

Nintendo Reports Loss on Shaky Wii U Sales TOKYO — Jul 30, 2014, 6:23 AM ET By YURI KAGEYAMA AP Business Writer Associated Press
Nintendo Co. sank to a worse-than-expected loss for the fiscal first quarter on lagging Wii U and 3DS video-game machine sales.
But the Japanese company behind Super Mario and Pokemon games stuck to its annual forecasts Wednesday for a 20 billion yen ($196 million) profit on 590 billion yen ($5.8 billion) sales.
Kyoto-based Nintendo reported a 9.92 billion yen ($97.3 million) April-June loss compared with an 8.62 billion yen profit a year earlier.
Quarterly sales totaled 74.695 billion yen ($732.3 million), down 8 percent from a year earlier.
Nintendo has been fighting to maintain profits amid competition from games and social media apps on smartphones and other mobile devices. The company also faces competition from rivals Sony Corp. and Microsoft Corp., which are aggressively pushing their game machines with holiday shoppers.
Nintendo has also faced questions about the health of its president, Satoru Iwata, after he was a no-show at the E3 video-game event in Los Angeles last month.
Last month, in a letter online to shareholders, he said he would miss the annual shareholders' meeting as well and said for the first time that he had surgery for a bile-duct "growth," found during a routine health checkup.

What's interesting is that the rest of the article mentions that the WiiU's forecast this year, as far as when Mario Kart dropped, was significantly improved compared to last year's. With Smash Bros on the way, I want to see how this pans out in full. Not gonna lie, this is far from Nintendo's best performance, but, I wanna wait and see what this year brings.

Nintendo's fine.
Honestly, how many of these doomsday criers are we going to get? And how many of them are correct?
Remember that one of the quarter months is a slow period in terms of WiiU games. Mario Kart 8 is released at the very end of May so the report may not be up to date in terms of the sales.
Give it a few more months and I guarantee you things will be different.
Title: Re: The Nintendo News Thread

I mean jeez we all know about Nintendo's giant, Scrooge McDuckian cash reserves, and we're all sick of the NINTENDO IS DOOMED BECAUSE X crowd, but you can at least save your self-righteousness for when it's actually appropriate and not direct it towards a simple earnings report. >.>

Nintendo doesn't release much mature games for it's consoles and systems but, this surprises with so much copies. Many 3th party games are mature Games. Think about the case with Ubisoft. They don't want to make any more mature Games for Nintendo after Watch Dogs. They should atleast promote why people should buy this Game.

REDMOND, Wash.–(BUSINESS WIRE)– Two new downloadable content packs will take the world of Mario Kart 8 in directions the franchise has never seen before, while significantly expanding game-play options. The packs, which launch this fall and in spring of 2015, and are available for advance purchase starting Aug. 27 at $7.99 each (or $11.99 for both), deliver a ton of new content, including first-time crossover characters like Link from The Legend of Zelda franchise and both Isabelle and the Villager from the Animal Crossing series.
$11.99 for the bundle is a great deal.

Internal changes in the recent firmware are suggesting a jump from 128 to 256MB of RAM (since the OS apparently reserves part of system memory for itself this may mean that games have more than twice the previously available memory to use) and additional VRAM in addition to the improved CPU Nintendo have mentioned

But are they going to treat this as a new console and start pushing all new games for it? Or is it going to be optional thus you have 2 things to look out for if you. 3DS and New3DS
It's dumb to do either way so soon tbh but they might as well say it's the next gen so everyone knows to get in on it.

Post by: JustNoPoint on August 29, 2014, 08:01:24 pm
That's what I mean. The some games part is the bigger hang up IMO
I guess it's the same as having PS4 and PS3 out at the same time but at least with those you know it's next gen. I just wonder if this will be the case here.
If they will keep making 2 kinds of games till the actual 3DS successor comes out or if they will start slowly not making regular 3DS games.

Kind of like when the Game boy Color dropped during the Game boy's lifespan? Or something like that I guess. I imagine it won't be too bad, pricing will probably be the same, blah blah blah.
This DOES mean I have to buy another one though, yeargh. I imagine you can trade in your old 3DS and grab a new upgraded one at a discounted price at game stores, maybe?
EITHER WAY it's like Game Boy to Game Boy Color in terms of library changes and hardware upgrades.

I think dual-mode GB and GBC games become much more common than grey carts for a few years around 99/2000 and quite a few good Nintendo games ended up going GBC-only to take advantage of the hardware for a couple of years before the GBA came out. The DSi wasn't as successful but I don't think that came out of the bat nearly as strongly as having something like an exclusive port of a popular console game announced for it.
Title: Re: The Nintendo News Thread
Post by: JustNoPoint on August 29, 2014, 11:28:58 pm
Wasn't the gameboy out for like 100 years with a million games for it before the GBC finally came out though?
I mean, it's as close to the same as we can get I guess but I remember that having a whole lot more umpf behind it. And "finally a new good handheld"!

Post by: TTTTTsd on August 30, 2014, 12:29:48 am
No the Gameboy came out in 95 and the GBC came out in 98. This actually took longer. So no, that is not true. 3DS I BELIEVE came out in 2010-2011-ish, so it's around the same time if not longer.

I'm amused by how Nintendo can be so stubborn sometimes they completely fuck up people like me who bought a 3DS not more than 6 months ago. The second analog stick (if you can call it analog stick; it looks more like a trackpoint) should have been there since the first model.
Oh well, time to buy a new 3DS :S

Presumably it's there to keep children from seeing porn (like anyone looks at porn on the 3DS lol). You need to use a credit card to pay it so only adults can unlock it. So if the adult does unlock it and their child sees something unsavoury, it's not really Nintendo's fault. It's a way of covering their asses.

It's actually common enough to be noted on infographics released by Pornhub on the amount of hits they receive from games consoles. By far the minority (1.4% of all people browsing on their consoles) but probably a large enough number if we consider the amount of people browsing there every month.
Mobile phones do the same thing in the UK if you want to access certain websites over data networks.

I'd argue this is more compelling for devs to do more advanced games for the system. I doubt the NEW3DS will phase out the current 3DS that quickly, though. It'll probably take another 2-3 years before 3DS games are discontinued for this new model, if that.

Fun fact : The system ITSELF isn't region locked, but the cartridges are! The good news is this means if you imported games for the original DS they'll still work! But yeah they technically CAN'T remove region locking unless they only made N3DS games region-free.

That's why you have to update cartridges when they don't work anymore. It doesn't work for all N3DS games just yet but, it will happen for sure.

So if the system isn't region locked, could someone import a Japanese N3DS and then sit on their Japanese copy of Smash 4 until international releases came to it? Since I live America, could I play an American cart of ORAS on a Japanese imported N3DS?

If the cartridges are not region locked, you could probably play anything. But if they ARE region locked which I'm pretty sure they are, then you have to use the proper system from said region.

The sale's pretty good. I was tempted to get some of the goodies myself.
However, my SD card's practically full so I need to get a new, better one before I can do anything with the eShop.
What really interests me is what they have in store for the Fire Emblem series. Maybe some re-releases of the GBA games? Or an announcement on a new Fire Emblem project? I would like to know.

Wii U is getting a new futuristic racing game (http://www.siliconera.com/2014/09/16/futuristic-racer-headed-wii-u/) (yay).
In 2011, Shin’en released a game titled FAST – Racing League for WiiWare. The fast-paced racer ran at 60 frames-per-second with two players playing in splitscreen, and utilized a neat “phase-switching” feature that made it so tracks would have “positive” and “negative” strips that sped you up or slowed you down, depending on the phase of your craft.
FAST was well-received, and ever since, Shin’en have been working on a follow-up for the Wii U. Today, they released a single screenshot (above) from the Wii U game, titled Fast Racing Neo, and said that more information would be available next week.
Not F-Zero unfortunately but interested in hearing more.

I said they might as a possibility, not a definite. I'm sure I was joking at that point, or clutching at straws.
The reason I mentioned Pikmin 3 is because you said if Nintendo wanted to make a new F-Zero, they already would have. Pikmin 3 was released 9 years after Pikmin 2, so perhaps before that was announced at E3 2011, you could've said the same thing. Why didn't they make Pikmin 3 before then? Perhaps they didn't make F-Zero for the Wii because they felt it would be too similar to GX, and may plan to make one for the Wii U sometime in the future.
Title: Re: The Nintendo News Thread
Post by: Niitris on September 18, 2014, 02:49:52 pm
A new Pikmin was announced 3 years after Pikmin 2 though. Last F-Zero was about 10 years ago and it wasn't exactly a hit.
I've kinda come to terms with the franchise being done sadly.

To add on this discussion, I'm seriously considering to buy a Wii U as my first next gen console. Why? The exclusives keep to a consistent high quality (like say the new Zelda and Mario titles) and the prices are plain cheap overall -- $299.99 and free online is hard to say no to. :3 Not only that, I adored the N64 for real social interaction and owned a GameCube if solely for Melee, so this owes to a bit of nostalgia as well.
Furthermore, I've grown tired with the monotone of super-gritty ultra-violent video games in which their multiplayer components are guaranteed to have children labeling you a we are dumb fucks spamming this site for ten years at every opportunity. In addition to what feels like having a forced status icon, I also feel that the super-gritty ultra-violence is the reason many recent games become uninspired. Despite that, a PlayStation 4 isn't wholly out of my personal spectrum afterwards.
So, any other pushes?

The reason I mentioned Pikmin 3 is because you said if Nintendo wanted to make a new F-Zero, they already would have.
and they don't want to, because they don't think there's anything new they can do with the franchise, or at least miyamoto does according to several kinda recent quotes. your comparison to pikmin 3 is pretty dumb
Quote
"I certainly understand that people want a new F-Zero game," Miyamoto said. "I think where I struggle is that I don’t really have a good idea for what’s new that we could bring to F-Zero that would really turn it into a great game again. Certainly I can see how people looking at Mario Kart 8 could see, through the anti-gravity, a connection to F-Zero. But I don’t know, at this point, what direction we could go in with a new F-Zero."

I pretty much only use mi Wii U to play nowadays. Nintendo started slow, but as you said there are ton of good games coming and there are some really good games already released.
I can't recommend Super Mario 3D World enough. I'm so engaged to the game that I'm going for the 100% stars and stamps. The star part is "easy", but getting all the stamps means you have to finish every level which every character (Mario, Luigi, Peach, Toad, Rosalina).

To add on this discussion, I'm seriously considering to buy a Wii U as my first next gen console.
PC is just such a viable platform that there's no real point in paying 400 to 500 dollars on a big budget console when you can get a comparable gaming rig. Nintendo's got the only system that's got real exclusives worth playing at this time, IMO.
Title: Re: The Nintendo News Thread
Post by: Renzo F on September 19, 2014, 06:57:09 pm
I get your point, but with $500 you aren't getting anything that could properly run a current gen game. Maybe you can just buy the video card with that money, tho. Just make the math.
Title: Re: The Nintendo News Thread
Post by: Keku on September 19, 2014, 07:17:47 pm
$500 is kinda more than enough if you already have the mobo. Most of the PS4 multiplats that had PC releases run on average medium to med-high settings, and it doesn't take that much on say an AMD rig to run that for around $500. Except for Planetside 2, which demands either a dedicated rig or very high spec, but we can't judge the PS4 port yet since it's not out.
Now, on the Wii U side, I might get one because the games on it (see: exclusives that matter because there's almost nothing but) are just so neat. Smash, W101, SM3DW, MK8, ONLINE WII SPORTS (that shit is just too funny I swear), among other titles, are those I might just have to rob a bank for.
Title: Re: The Nintendo News Thread
Post by: TTTTTsd on September 19, 2014, 09:23:48 pm
IMO, the WiiU has the most exclusives that are worth investing into it for. Both as far as its current library goes, and as far as its upcoming games are concerned(Zelda WiiU, Yoshi, etc.)
I feel like it finally might just pick up from here on out.
Title: Re: The Nintendo News Thread
Post by: SlySuavity on September 20, 2014, 03:21:23 pm
Yeah, I'd say things are looking up for my considerations~. If circumstances serve well enough, expect me to have a Wii U following next paycheck. It's been too long since I delved into that certain Nintendo glory.
PC is just such a viable platform that there's no real point in paying 400 to 500 dollars on a big budget console when you can get a comparable gaming rig.
I'd see it as vice versa -- that 400 to 500 dollars would be better invested in a console since I can't be too arsed to delve into the specifics of PC gaming. For a console it's just buy, plug in and play! My PC already fulfills a place as a social/media platform.
i think getting a wii u now is a good idea, there are enough games out right now to justify the purchase (and hyrule warriors, bayonetta 2, smash and captain toad releasing before the year ends). i'll get a ps4 when there's a pricedrop because there will be more games at that point
This partially influenced my decision, as well. Only now is the library starting to shine for the PS4, but that and it's current price still pales to the Wii U I feel, so things will have to wait before I head to places with Sony again~.

I purchased a Wii U last year for $185 and a PS3 a couple of days ago for $340. I don't really intend to play the PS4 for another 6-8 months, but I doubt I could have gotten that price if I waited.
Wii U I played the shit out of Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze, just bought Super Mario 3D World yesterday after watching Game Grumps play it, will be buying Smash 4 on it, and have it for several Wii titles. I strongly recommend buying it if you do not own a Wii. If you do, there aren't that many good titles out yet and waiting a bit longer probably won't kill you.

N3DS Launch confirmed for Australia and New Zealand (http://www.gamespot.com/articles/new-nintendo-3ds-confirmed-to-launch-in-australia-/1100-6422518/)
GameSpot said:
Nintendo Australia today announced the release two new 3DS models in Australia, the New Nintendo 3DS and the New Nintendo 3DS XL.
The announcement was made on YouTube via the first ever Nintendo Direct Australia, posted by Nintendo Australia and embedded above. Nintendo Australia managing director Tom Enoki revealed that both handheld consoles will be released in Australia on November 21 this year, just over a month after the Japanese release on October 11.
Nintendo revealed that it is "not planning to release the systems in Europe and America this year."

I found out recently that I could get a refurbished 32GB Wii U from Nintendo directly and it'd be a much better deal than anywhere else on the planet because factory refurb pretty much means it's brand spankin' new. $238 CAD (shipping and tax included) for that, Nintendoland and a 1 year warranty? Fuckin' right I'm getting a Wii U (eventually) holy shit.
Once I get one I am so playing the everloving shit out of MK8, Bayo 2, Smash and mayyyyybe Wonderful 101. Also that sequel to FAST coming out.

There is no "maybe" when it comes to Wonderful 101, my friend. It's a great game, and can be found cheaply these days.
And Nintendoland is better than I expected it to be, so it's a decent pack-in. The ship parts in Metroid controlled great. Wifey and I had a blast unlocking everything. But it also can be found cheaply these days, I got mine for $20 around January, though sadly it wasn't the one with the Luigi wiimote. :doom:

... Welp, bikes it is then. Sharp turns are straight up punishing in this game -- even tapping B slows you down to a crawl, so that's a no go for carts or whatever. What's the best bike setup for Shy Guy and Rosalina? I'm mostly partial towards them.
Also I've made a pretty bad habit of not looking at my touchscreen. Just too damn absorbed into the actual gameplay itself... and again, watching out for those sharp turns. I'm a 150cc/Extra player at heart. :P
Anyway, I'm getting pretty used to the tracks, though I'll have all the time to play following this Wednesday, after work shifts. For online, how does one go about with adding friends and vice versa? :3

Do you even drift? Karts get around corners fine, you've just gotta go in wide to come out tight.
It's not like it was in Wii, where you had to use bikes because they were better in every way.
Title: Re: The Nintendo News Thread
Post by: Renzo F on October 01, 2014, 12:33:45 am
Exactly. You can get around 90° corners if you start drifting really far away from the turn.

It's not like it was in Wii, where you had to use bikes because they were better in every way.
Obviously. I've grown way more partial of sports bikes, which do make a big difference compared to regulars; that 'inside drifting' mechanic comes at a far greater convenience without as much guesswork involved, all the while you're able to maintain solid drifts for strong boosts in speed. It's just right for the comfort zone, so I can't ever see myself going back to anything else.
Moreover, I found the best set-up to be Heavyweight+Slicks+Accel Glider, so it's more to my fortune that I'd use Rosalina. Plus it's all the more for handling and speed -- acceleration is already a boon what with all the boost options available in-game. :3
Title: Re: The Nintendo News Thread
Post by: Omega on October 02, 2014, 10:42:39 am
I drive with smaller Characters such as Mario and Toad as bigger and heavy characters are slower when driving. Making those turns in corners always slows down the speed for sure.
Title: Re: The Nintendo News Thread
Post by: Renzo F on October 02, 2014, 03:47:04 pm
In my case I use Bowser because when someone crashes into me I don't even move. With smaller characters they can take you out of the track.
Title: Re: The Nintendo News Thread
Post by: PlasmoidThunder on October 02, 2014, 04:47:58 pm
Heavyweight karts are normally faster but don't accelerate. Lightweight karts are normally more accelerative but don't do the whole speed thing. Medium weight karts are somewhere in between, though typically more favoured towards acceleration.
The way acceleration works in Mario Kart 8 makes Heavy characters the best. While speed works as you'd expect it to, acceleration is rounded down. In other words, a kart with 2 bars of acceleration is the same as a kart with 2.9 bars of acceleration. Stupid, I know.
Yellow Yoshi + Sports Coupé + Sponge + Parafoil That's my combination.
Title: Re: The Nintendo News Thread

We have new information on the extent of the new GameCube controller adaptor's compatibility. Contrary to the report below, it will allow GameCube controllers to function exclusively with Super Smash Bros. on Wii U.
In a statement issued to IGN, Nintendo said: "The GameCube Controller Adapter for Wii U is compatible with Wii U and Super Smash Bros. for Wii U specifically – it is not compatible with any other Wii U software. The adapter is also not compatible with Wii and we apologise for any confusion."

Nintendo struggles with such releases now. A controller update won't change things. I grew up with Nintendo's Games but, all I can say is that they should put every new plan for a new console when they get to it. They can succeed with Games like Super Smash Bros. Gamers blame Nintendo because their new controller isn't compatible with the Wii.

Yoshi's Circuit was a Great Stage in Mario Kart Double Dash. I wish they had a retro mode that allowed players to play the Game in Snes style. That would be like remaking the same in retro and too much work I guess. The thing I liked in Double Dash was the use of double characters. One drives and one throws the items. It would be Excellent if that returned as a new mode.

Seems a little odd they'd use the same retro track two games in a row. As "meh" as it was, they could've used Super Circuit's. It feels odd that a Rainbow Road is not the final course in its cup. At least they kept it looking like a road on a rainbow, as opposed to a road with rainbow colouration :P
Mute City too stronk. Could've done without the saxophone, but as it stands, it's probably the best course in the game next to Grumble Volcano :D

So the future Majora's Mask 3Ds game will have some gameplay changes, but I doubt it's anything worth noticing. Also, I'm sure the boss fight they refer to in the article is the one from the first dungeon, I remember I was perplexed as to how to damage him the first time I fought him.

Title: Re: The Nintendo News Thread
Post by: Nanashi_1337 on November 16, 2014, 04:12:08 pm
Was Gyorg really that hard? I managed to defeat him quite easily. IIRC you just needed to aim at him when he was underwater to stun him (either with the Zora boomerang throw or with arrows) then go after him with the Zora form and hit him with the electricity attack. For the first boss though, I don't even remember how you coiuld hurt it, since I think he blocked my arrows and that goddamn sword hit me all the time while he was dancing.

Post by: Omega on November 17, 2014, 02:37:38 pm
The Game itself was Great but, now that you guys mentioned Gyorg, I must say that it wasn't that hard even if it was a underwater battle. You had a limit as you were running out of air and had to jump back on the ring.

I worked at a Wal Mart store on thanksgiving. The reason being is that by doing so I get 1 transaction 25% off this coming Friday. (transaction being 1 cart, 2 carts, several items...)
I was intending on using this to get Mario Kart 8 for a X-mas present. I also want to spend my own personal money and get another game. I think I'm considering Mario 3DWorld, Hyrule Warriors, and Toads Treasure Hunt which comes out on the same day. Which would you guys recommend and is there a different game I'm not thinking about?
I have Wind Waker and Mario WiiU. And no, I am not a huge Smash Bros player =p

Title: Re: The Nintendo News Thread
Post by: Person Man on December 02, 2014, 05:48:34 pm
Echoing the sentiment that 3D world is a must-have for Wii U. Also, The Wonderful 101 is an underrated gem and is absolutely worth picking up.
Title: Re: The Nintendo News Thread
Post by: JustNoPoint on December 02, 2014, 05:55:03 pm
I wasn't aware Captain Toad started in 3D World. I like 3D Land as well. Was leaning toward 3D World but was second guessing it since it's more Mario. But why question what works? Thanks guys!
The demo for 101 didn't do a lot for me. It's really cheap now. You can even get it on eshop for about $20. But my personal allowance I give myself is only $50 a month so I can't go too crazy =p
I'd also recommend Donkey Kong Country Tropical Freeze.
It's on my wishlist but I think it'd be in 4th place behind the other 3 games I mentioned.
Though TBH I shouldn't have Hyrule Warriors so high up. I think I just want it so I have an excuse to get a Link and Zelda Amiibo. So far that's the only game I'm interested in where the Amiibo's give you something sorta interesting so it totally justifies them!!! That's the logic of my mind at work >_>

Post by: JustNoPoint on December 02, 2014, 06:25:40 pm

It shouldn't be higher for me because I've never played a Dynasty Warriors game. I really should rent it to see if I even like the way the games play. It looks fun but I worry it'd get repetitive.
How about Bayonetta 2? Comes with the first game, I believe.
Unless I get more time I need games that are easier to just pick up and play and if I sit it down for a month or 2 due to getting busy I can pick it back up again. And I'm not 100% sure if I'd get immersed in the gameplay on these either. I seem to have fallen into a very tight niche as I've grown up. 2D fighters, Mario/MegaMan sidescroller types, Mario Party, and Kart. With the only exception being Zelda games where I force myself to make time to play it till it's complete. The closest other 3D explore game is TombRaider but I didn't like how the reboot didn't feel like any of the previous Tomb Raiders and didn't like it either. Last good Tomb Raider I sat and played a lot was the TR Trilogy. Mostly the remake of TR1 on PS3.
Tropical Freeze is my favorite non Smash game on Wii U. If you like the old school generation of challenging platformers it's must play.
I loved DKC on SNES. I liked the Wii one a lot but forcing me to shake the controller to roll really took away from the game. Which is why I still intend to get that version on the 3DS later. I know that's not an issue in Tropical Freeze but I think it's still making it not jump out as THE next game for me to sink almost $50 into.

hyrule warriors isn't completely mashing to victory. there's lots of stuff about territory control, optimizing time, picking the better route, deciding to help or not to help allies in danger, etc. the huge amount of missions in adventure mode mean there's plenty to do (even more if you add in the dlc) and they always mix it up with different conditions. that's not to say some stuff won't get repetitive - the boss battles get old extremely fast since they rely too much on weak points and vulnerability. framerate can shit the bed sometimes but it's not going to ruin the game. i've heard that playing in 2p is awful but i haven't tried it myself. i suggest giving the game a rent. i wouldn't put it so high on my list but it's still good imo

That sounds really fun! Will definitely rent it at some point. Tropical Freeze is high on my list too. And it's cheaper out of the options so when I choose another game it'll probably be that one. Or Mario Party when it comes out.

As much as I like Nintendo, all I can say is that they should definitly sell their games on different consoles and many more such as IPads, Tablets, Androids, Smartphones or whatever else you can think of. Nintendo keeps selling selfishly on their own systems and cries about their low sellings. I guess why.
In other news: Why isn't this on the 3DS?! (http://bulbanews.bulbagarden.net/wiki/Pok%C3%A9mon_Pinball:_Ruby_%26_Sapphire_coming_to_Japanese_Wii_U_Virtual_Console) Also, why haven't we gotten a new Pokémon Pinball? Imagine it in 3D with three additional generations of Pokémon!
I never played the Ruby and Sapphire Pinball Games. All I know is the classic ones for the Gameboy Color. A 3DS Pinball Game would be Great but, İ prefer something with all Pokemon generations.

If they want better sales then perhaps they should concider lowering the damn prices on their games. I mean, Super Mario Kart 7 for instance, that's like a 5 year old game, and it's still in stores going for full retail price. Same with pretty much all other made-by-Nintendo games. I would buy the shit out of New Super Mario Bros 2 and the like if they weren't still full price.
Pity them, I do not.

What newer systems? Their exclusivity is what made them so sucessfull . People see the nintendo as the brand to go for children . If they released for systems other than their own how would this improve their wii u "headache"? It would end up burying them further and killing their hardware division.

Post by: Byakko on December 05, 2014, 12:08:49 pm
The WiiU may sell poorly when there's few games, but just put out a Pokemon or a Smash bros or a Zelda and they start selling like hot cakes. The reason these games are a system seller is that people don't mind buying a console for a few games like that, they consider that a whole console is a good investment because it has games like these. And then they buy a few more games and a few more. I know what I'm talking about, that's exactly what I do, I buy a Nintendo console just for the current Zelda game (and then a couple more games for the hell of it), and I don't mind.
In fact, if these games started going on more platforms like smartphones, this would completely destroy Nintendo's console market. And since Nintendo has no intention of completely dropping out of the console market (and they shouldn't !), it's blindingly obvious that this is a perfect strategy. It doesn't matter if console sales are low when there's no big game like these. The point is that these games come out and console sales go up. Saying that they should go on different platforms because their console sells badly is taking the problem in the wrong direction. This is the whole point.

Some console has controls that are very strange to use so it's logical for people to want certain games from certain companies to consoles they like. Just for my part of the story buddy. I had the most handheld consoles for Nintendo. I do agree with the part that Nintendo's Games are funny indeed.

Brosef that still doesnt make sense, like i told you their main strenght is their exclusivity, you are acting as if they should throw away their proven method and just move on to smartphones because "people to want certain games from certain companies to consoles they like. " When I had a Genesis I wasnt going around going "NINTENDO BETTER RELEASE THAT MARIO GAME ON GENESIS OR ELSE THEY ARE DOOMED". I certainly wasnt acting as if that was their best technique or any form of "saving them".
you are speaking in absolutes while ignoring the common sense of the argument. Nintendo THRIVES on exclusivity. Remove it and they have a loss, not a win.

Thats not an opinion you are presenting it as a fact. An opinion is something like "this Pineapple cake is delicious." an opinion is not "This pineapple cake would appeal to much more people if the cooks had used apples instead of pineapples.".
The whole thing that you are suggesting would cripple nintendo , as once their exclusives were released for "Other systems" the people that buy "Nintendo systems" for the exclusives would have less of a reason to do so.

I couldn't finish it either, controls turned me off of it, I was able to beat phantom hourglass, but trying spirit tracks right after made me get tired of the control system really fast. That and I lost my save data for the game and had to redo about half the game, so I just quit.
Nah, my post wasn't some kind of flamebait. I was genuinely curious about the previous comment because in some way or another I heard bad things about some Zelda games I like, but not for this one.
I don't know why Egoraptor doesn't like the game as I've never watched any of his videos but the main reason I don't like the game is because there is very little exploration outside of the main quest, like I know you're thinking "no more then OOT and TP!" but I think even they had more exploration because there were secret grottos and caves in those games but there are none in SS. I never realised how much I enjoyed them until they were gone, because of that the little optional exploration in that game that there is feels very obvious, because it is literally all about finding cubes that are very visible and out in the open.
I'd like to point out that I was able to 100% the game in like 40 hours (maybe less, IDK) on my first play through without a guide, because everything was obvious and easy to find. In contrast, I still need a guide to find all the heart pieces in ALTTP, OOT, TP, MM and WW because some of them are very well hidden, mostly in random caves I would never think to go in and find, because I'd have to blow up a random hole in the ground or something. (or Dig a hole as the case would be in TP)

Take a drink every time he complains about games telling him what to do for every time he gets lost in Wind Waker because he skips all the text and gets himself lost. He has more ADD than I ever thought imaginable in someone who talks about "proper game design"

It has been more than 4 years since I played Spirit Tracks. The Game's final boss Malladus wasn't that hard. It just needed to be more challenging. I believe this was one of The Games with Link having a strong connection with Zelda. Other than that, The Game has some Excellent music wich I liked.

I barely finished Phantom Hourglass and avoided Spirit Tracks because the former was so lackluster. Was Spirit Tracks really worse?
as for Skyward Sword, I dunno, I think I like it more than Twilight Princess. SS, even with some less than stellar design choices, at least felt like it was trying out a lot of new things; TP just felt like a retread of what had come before, even if it explored its concepts better and in a more thought out way than SS and also Midna is so much better than Fi (but I don't think is Fi terrible like the internet does, she's fun, she just interrupted things way too much!).

Well, the train mechanics were boring for me. There was more repetitive stuff to do than in PH (like those sequences where you went deeper and deeper inside the temple) and overall didn't engaged me so much.

Link doesn't hold his scabbard while he fights (but you already know that). I know that particular Link (the first game's one) uses his sword with his left hand (I guess, sprites don't really like those sorts of things) and he's usually depicted as such in other games.
I just wonder if there's a meaning to him being right handed in this game.......
Also maybe we should make a Zelda thread? I think Zelda is a series of games that deserves its own thread.

That looks very Great. I hope they make Nami's skin color white as she cosplays Wii Fit Trainer. Also, it would look better if Luffy had Mario's hat behind him because he has two hats like this. He now has Mario's hat and his own hat. I like what I'm seeing as One Piece is a favorite Anime/Manga of Mine.

I got Mario 3D World and Mario Kart. I can't stop playing Mario Kart though! This game is just so fun! Finally unlocked all the characters. They were being stingy with the koopalings! Especially Morton, Roy, and Ludwig >:(
Bought the 2 pack DLC with a WiiU gift card too.
Just into world 2 in 3D world, but yes. I will be wanting Toad's Treasure Hunt later on. His mini game in W1 was really fun and I look forward to the rest of the mini games in each world.

What would it take to make a new F-Zero? http://www.siliconera.com/2015/01/06/a-new-f-zero-would-require-a-new-controller-interface-says-miyamoto/
Quote
“I actually made F-Zero first, and then after we made F-Zero we made Mario Kart. But we see a lot of other designers who are kind of making more traditional racing style of games. So, we’ve tried to focus on something that feels a little bit more gamey. So, maybe if we create a new type of controller interface, and we find a controller interface that’s particularly suited for F-Zero, then maybe we’ll do something with it in the future.
“Actually, the lead designer on F-Zero who I worked with on the original is Mr. [Takaya] Imamura, and I worked together with him also on the original Star Fox games. So right now, the two of us are busy working on the next Star Fox game.”
Title: Re: The Nintendo News Thread
Post by: Duos.act on January 06, 2015, 09:32:38 pm
I don't understand Miyamoto. Why does F-Zero need a "innovative" controller interface? Why can't it just stand on the merits of being a good game? Most F-Zero fans wouldn't give a shit if there was a control gimmick or not, they just want to play a fucking F-Zero game. Jesus Christ fire Miyamoto already.

That explanation would work if it wasn't for the fact that F-Zero, F-Zero X, and F-Zero GX (the last of which being the best of the three) all used standard controllers and were perfectly fine, lol.

[avatar]http://i42.photobucket.com/albums/e315/Tiger_Stripe/discordsir_zps7774d05c.png[/avatar]I think the point is that he doesn't want to do just another F-Zero. He wants to be able to do something new and interesting with it, not just make F-Zero GX again but with more of the same stuff. It's not "we have to have a new controller gimmick before I'll make a new F-Zero," it's that he doesn't want to tackle a new F-Zero game until they come up with a way it'll really be unique, and not just a re-skinned Mario Kart 8.
That being said, that's no reason that someone else couldn't make a new F-Zero in the meantime, because god knows people have been begging for it long enough.

I can understand the "I want it now" feeling, but at the same time if Miyamoto's saying he doesn't want to do one until they premiere Nintendo's Oculus peripheral or whatever, I would be willing to wait a little longer. Whatever gets me closer to the rush I got playing Pod Racer Arcade

I've heard this rebuttal a lot and it does make a lot of sense, but the two are very different IMO. F-Zero tracks are wilder, difficulty is harder, speed is generally higher, no item powerups, different vehicle builds, etc. They did definitely put some F-Zero style things in MK8, but I feel like comparing the two is like comparing Mario to Kirby. Same genre, but very different.

When he says a different controller interface, I don't think he means a different controller / a gimmick like the Wiimote. He's looking for a new way to control the game. Like with Star Fox, the pad will show a cockpit vision while the screen shows a third person vision. Or just a new and interesting control setup. Something like that.

F-Zero is a rollercoaster. Mario Kart is kart racing.

On the subject of F-Zero, fire Miyamoto? You're...kidding right? MOVING ON, I think they really just want to do something crazy with it and they're waiting to do so.
It's much different than Mario Kart and I think they want to preserve that individuality. I really doubt they're going to wait until some sort of new peripheral but I do think they're trying to figure out how to actually make the game use the console's unique controller in a natural and advantageous way while preserving the speed and feel of F-Zero. Which is probably really hard.
Part of the reason F-Zero is so amazing is because it has three totally different games that all convey a sense of amazing speed and depth, while all being totally unique and independent yet tied together by this. I'd hate for the series to not try and continue that tradition of freshness, even at the sacrifice of one anytime soon or fast.

I don't even know if it's about the peripheral entirely, or about creating something different. Miyamoto answered this question like a year ago and one of the reasons he stated was that they had to find a way to go forward from GX and that it was incredibly hard without just making the same game which he doesn't usually do, just look at Luigi's Mansion Dark Moon compared to the first game.
I don't think the man's infallible (look at Sticker Star) but he's not entirely wrong when he wants to make the next F-Zero game different enough to, well, stand on its own. That's what all 3 other F-Zero games can do, so this one has an entirely large amount of standards to live up to.
Also F-Zero has always had a new gimmick on a per-game basis. SNES F-Zero's gimmick was being a speed racer with slingshot walls and a unique engine, F-Zero X had the Death Race and the gravity tracks, F-Zero GX had that as well but it also had stuff like mini-turbo and a lot of advanced technical things. They've all done so much different things and stand out as vastly different games to me.
I'd rather an incredibly inspired sequel take a damn long time than them just shitting out a sequel and having it turn out really bland or bad.

F-Zero GX most notably included a story mode, a shop and a garage to create your own machines. The advanced racing techniques were found by players.
I feel they could expand on the story mode by having racer-specific stories/chapters/whatever, as opposed to just "Captain Falcon doing awesome schit because he's awesome but seriously fuck that F-Zero Grand Prix mission". Online is a tricky one, as even GX limited local multiplier to just four racers; imagine 30-odd racers in glorious HD with special effects up the butt, all while running at 60fps... Yeah, tell me that's not going to be difficult to pull off.
I guess it'd be cool if they included the gyroscope as an optional control scheme. I mean, I wouldn't use it, but still.

to me "we create a new type of controller interface" sounds like there's a need for a new gimmick to control f-zero. be it through an existing gimmick (touch screen controls, dual screen stuff, motion controls) or a brand new one, i really doubt it'll beat using a normal controller for a game that requires very quick reflexes. some games just don't need a revolutionary new controller interface because they really wouldn't benefit much from it. mario kart and smash are still played better with normal controllers.
Title: Re: The Nintendo News Thread
Post by: Byakko on January 08, 2015, 07:29:10 pm
The way I understand it, new controller interface isn't new controller. Just a button setup, like the usual "advance / back / turn left / turn right", or a system.
edit I think I found the reason for the confusion. Here's how the video goes. Miyamoto's talking about how everybody makes racing games, and they're all made the same way - "traditional" (like I said, same button controls with minor variations). Miyamoto wants to make F-Zero more fun, and he talks about a new "interface". The translator interprets it as "controller interface". Then he talks about the guy who designed the original F-Zero with him, and he says they're both working on the next Star Fox - which we know is going to try for a more unique gameplay interface, with the cockpit view and the outside view. And so, I'm pretty sure those comments are linked. He's not talking about a new controller like what the Wiimote was, but a new way to interact with the game. He probably doesn't even care about specifically software or hardware interaction, he's just talking in general.

Nintendo Officially Leaves Brazil (http://www.ign.com/articles/2015/01/09/nintendo-officially-leaves-brazil)
Quote
Brazilian division of the Video Juegos Latinoamérica has ceased distribution of Nintendo products in Brazil -- ending a four-year partnership. Nintendo has not named a replacement distributor.
Nintendo cites the country's high import tariffs and other unspecified challenges with the local business environment as reasons for the withdrawal. For instance, the Wii U launched at a cost of R$1899, or about $830 USD. Games sold for R$179 to R$199, or $77 to $87 USD.
Quote
"Brazil is an important market for Nintendo and home to many passionate fans but unfortunately challenges on the local business environment have made our current distribution model unsustainable in the country," says Director and General Manager of Latin America at Nintendo of America, Bill van Zyl.

This, but mainly because of high "government spending" (*cough*corruption*cough*), and to recover these "costs", increase interest and of course high taxes, which are expensive, and moreover, don't give the expected return for the people.
That's why consoles and games in Brazil are costly. And that's why Nintendo sadly leaves Brazil. :(

i'm going to speculate about the release date for fire emblem for a bit: the japanese direct said the game comes out summer. there was a 10 month gap between awakening's japanese and american releases. one would assume the same will happen here, but i don't think so. fire emblem awakening was released following two underperforming fire emblem ds games (one wasn't released here at all), and if it sold poorly it would be the last game in the series. the localization wasn't even mentioned in nintendo's e3 2012 show, we only knew about it because someone asked reggie after the show. this makes me think they were waiting on the game's japanese success to start work on localization, which is why it took so long for it to get here.
compare that to now, where the announcement of the game was the first thing in the nintendo direct. i would guess the translation for this game is happening right now and the release dates will be fairly close to eachother, couple months maybe. hopefully it'll be out this year.

Ech, I watched it yesterday and it wasn't as bad as I thought it would've been, pretty much gonna pre-order all the Wave 4 Amiibo's (Dat Ness and Wario tho)
Here's my thoughts and junk.
New Fire Emblem: Eh, It's ok looking, I've never been really a fan of the gameplay in general, never really been fond of games that involve alot of strategy induced battles.
Hyrule Warrior's DLC: I'm not a crazed Zelda fan so I won't appreciate the DLC as much as most will but I will admit, Tingle is pretty fucking rad and it makes me sad that people are hating it because there's no playable Skull kid
Monster Hunter 4: Not a bad looking game, I didn't really give MH3 a chance but if I get my hands on a EU Demo for MH4 then I'll be happy to try it out and see what it's so good for.
Mario Vs Donkey Kong: This is still a thing?
Codename: STEAM: Again, not a die-hard FE fan so I'm not super hyped but it's nice to hear more 3DS titles getting Amiibo support.
Wave 4 Amiibo's They're all mine ok.
Wii VC: GCN>Wii (Get your facts straight Nintendo)
Mario Party 10: I just hope this one isn't about Boss battles and fucked up gameplay compared to some of the older titles (Looking at you Party Tour) and the line of Amiibo's look pretty sweet, gonna pick up Toad when it's out.
New 3DS Models: The Zelda one is nice but it's not for me, I'd buy it if my Brother wasn't a die-hard Zelda fan though, he MUST have it lmao, might pick up the MH4 New 3DS or get a basic one, dunno yet.
Majora's Mask 3D: I've never truly played a 3D Zelda game (Yep, not even OOT, only messed around on that when I was a kid) but I'd like to give this one a chance, the new features and junk look really promising and would most likely give me a good time.
EU getting the smaller New 3DS: Haha! FACEPLATES.
No Mewtwo news for Smash: I was actually a little sad not seeing anything for Mewtwo, I really just want to see who'll be voicing it in Smash 4, Also seeing if any DLC after Mewtwo is planned would be sweet.

Did they mention the release date/price of the N3DS in the UK?
GAME site has it listed at £149.99 (XL £179.99)
Here's why the US isn't getting regular N3DS. http://nintendoeverything.com/nintendo-on-why-it-isnt-selling-the-standard-new-3ds-in-north-america/
Quote
Nintendo of America: Different territories make their own business decisions regarding individual products and timing. We think New Nintendo 3DS XL makes the most sense for our market. Nintendo makes different systems at different price points for a whole range of consumers, and New Nintendo 3DS XL simply expands those choices even further.
When asked if Nintendo of America will ever release the standard New 3DS, the company said: “We have nothing to announce at this time.”

Wow. TBH, I think that's kinda dumb. Well, I guess that could lower the main price of the N3DS to make it look more appealing to customers.
I assume that the N3DS uses the same charger cable as the other 3DS's? If so, that would be an advantage of being a previous 3DS owner.
Title: Re: The Nintendo News Thread

All DS systems from the DSi upwards use the same charger.
Title: Re: The Nintendo News Thread
Post by: Byakko on January 17, 2015, 02:12:33 pm
But then this reduction is only worth something for those who previously had one, and even then they'll have a harder time selling the previous one back because they have to keep the charger. Any and all electrical appliance should always come with its own power cord or charger, even if it's a common model. This is super basic stuff. Who doesn't put one.

I was able to get some pretty cool Wii and 3DS games from Club Nintendo back when I first started using it, but it seems all the recent games aren't all that interesting, or I've already gotten them. Ah well, it was fun while it lasted.
Anyways, something I've been wondering about. From what I hear, Club Nintendo members will end up getting a free download for Flipnote Studio 3D. But wasn't that game announced to be free in the first place? (with a paid subscription for view others' works online.)

Mewtwo needs to be in with a purpose man. That's what I mean with a Story. He wasn't in Super Smash Bros Brawl. His return needs to be told out and not say that the fans want it. There are much more Pokemon's wich could be included in The Game.
Title: Re: The Nintendo News Thread
Post by: Orochi Gill on January 27, 2015, 07:40:44 pm
Except Mewtwo is more of a reception test for DLC characters. Of course they're going to pick a character that was cut from a previous Smash Bros.
You're not making any sense
Title: Re: The Nintendo News Thread
Post by: Omega on January 29, 2015, 04:52:35 pm
I agree about Mewtwo being cut but, after so much new generations for Pokemon, there are more populair Pokemon besides him now. That's what I was saying. Having Mewtwo is like going for a little retro choice for the roster. I am not against it. I wish it was someone else. Let's see how it turns out for The Game.
Btw, have you guys also seen the video for Hyrule Warrior's DLC Young Link and Tingle? Looks Excellent. http://mynintendonews.com/2015/01/29/heres-some-gameplay-from-the-new-hyrule-warriors-dlc-featuring-young-link-and-tingle/

It's for Japan so far but I assume it'll come out in the West soon enough. I loved the unique and awesome gameplay, the unique story, and the one-on-one level of intimacy. Unfortunately I could never finish it, because let's face it, it ended up feeling repetitive as shit when I kept being forced to drop everything and do back-and-forths to stall the curse, and the impression that the "emotional connection" gauge thing with the girl seemed to never improve significantly (a sure way to not get the true end). I'd like to give it another go (and I don't know if my Wii still runs but I don't have the space to set it back up anyway). BTW I wonder how the controls work without the wiimote-nunchuks, the game made big use of it...

I agree with Miami on that matter, because portable Amiibo's that you can keep safe in something like a card binder sounds great to me. I haven't gotten any yet, but if they're releasing cards, I'll definitely have to build a collection, just because
Earlier this year a Gold Mario amiibo was leaked, and a subsequent image of Walmart advertising suggested it was going to be exclusive to the retailer in the US. As retailers have been known to get it wrong there was still a slight chance that wouldn't be the case, but Nintendo of America has now issued a press release confirming the toy's exclusivity to the retailer.
Although 3000 stores will have gold Mario amiibo, we suspect they'll still be as rare as - well - gold dust.

Monster Hunter 4 Ultimate’s first wave of downloadable content is due out on March 6, Capcom confirmed during the latest episode of IGN’s Nintendo Voice Chat. The company will be lumping DLC together and launching batches on the first Friday of each month going forward. There’s plenty to look forward to from the first wave of DLC. Capcom is bringing along Link items, which adds a new armor set, sword and shield, and bow and arrow inspired by Nintendo’s famous character. Capcom is also releasing the first episode quest, Clockwork Contraption and Emperor’s Speech weapons (winners of the fan contest), and an equipment set based on a collaboration with Universal Studios Japan. It’s important to mention that all of these extras will be free. You won’t need to fork over an extra cent for the DLC.

So what's the odds on it being delayed so they can get it as a launch title on NX?
They've never really made a Zelda on a console that just came out, though, they more often do a Zelda on a console that has "matured" for a few years. Well, major Zelda games, at least. It's just fine like that, too. Plus, if it did happen, it would imply that the new console is nothing more than a power upgrade of the previous ; if there's another new big gimmick, they'd have to start over with the gameplay to fit it.
At least Star Fox is still for this year, yeah. Well, so far.

So uh what's the deal with Fire Emblem If? the NA Direct makes it seem like one game but the Japanese site has it as two different games like Pokemon. Is this for Japan only or is it going to be like that everywhere? (http://i.imgur.com/aTeL7t7.jpg)

Seems like a variance in distribution between countries. Only thing I know is in JAPAN (keyword Japan) you can get one version for full price and then the other story as DLC according to Gematsu.
Do note that none of this has anything to do with the US release so it's subject to change, they didn't mention anything about DLC or stuff like that in the US direct so I have no idea. They're probably working on it.
TL;DR in Japan it's like Pokemon but unlike Pokemon you don't have to buy both games at full price, you get the other one for like 30-35 dollars cheaper if you buy one of them.

All right so it's a Japan only thing right now. I can't imagine them doing that in the west since Fire Emblem is pretty niche here sucks for Japan though especially with a 3rd path being dlc as well.

Yeah, it's important to consider the game is dropping June 25th, 2015 for Japan, all we got was a "Sometime in 2016" date, which could mean both localization and game combination, perhaps. At the very least in the US I imagine they plan on releasing them both at the same time and that's if they really want to do the split game model, although the Direct made it seem like they weren't going to.

Finally, the website also reveals a Fire Emblem If Special Edition, which has a special two-in-one cartridge of both versions of the game. It also includes the third storyline, which will be available upon release, in addition to a limited edition art book and a limited edition Fire Emblem 0 (Cypher) TCG card. The Special Edition will cost 9,250 yen (without tax). Read more at http://www.siliconera.com/2015/04/02/details-differences-two-version-fire-emblem/#wtuxtGmK8JCXJKbj.99

Everything you guys said about DK Tropical Freeze was right! This game is EXCELLENT! I was trying to decide on this, Mario Party 10, or Toads Treasure Tracker. It was well worth it! But dang this game is hard!
Also used Birthday $$$ to get Yoshi's Island DS for the Virtual Console. Is this game just a remake/edit of the one on SNES? That's kind of disheartening. I haven't gotten very far in it since I'm focusing on DK so it may change but the opening levels seem very familiar!
I like all the various options they have to play the DS. I wish there was a way to make it so that you could invert and have the bottom screen on the TV and the top on the Wii Pad. I also wonder why they can't just put them together as 1 super screen without needing the black boarder between them. And you'd have to have a super mega large tv to play it in "DS mode" where you have the whole DS image on the tv with the gameplay taking place in both.

Post by: Keku on April 10, 2015, 06:19:23 am
I meant over Tropical Freeze.
MP10 just felt like a waste for us when we played it, which is a shame because the game is absolutely stunning visually and the minigames are pretty fun. But the core board gameplay feels way too familiar and RNGesus is never, ever kind.
I'm not saying "Just stick to the Hudson era MP games" but like even MP8 was substantially funner.
I'd say definitely give it a rental at least. The eye candy is worth the trip, and it's probably bound to impress the kid too!
Title: Re: The Nintendo News Thread
Post by: JustNoPoint on April 10, 2015, 06:24:51 am
MP8 felt like it was missing stuff. It was fun but I think it had way too few boards. The Bowser Party looks pretty fun in the new game. I hate the idea of amiibo party since I don't want to have to buy amiibo's a whole portion of the game is locked behind expensive figure pay wall DLCs.
But yeah DKTF has been well worth it! It looks gorgeous and I don't have to shake a controller to roll. That ruined the one on the Wii and made me hesitant to get this one.
Title: Re: The Nintendo News Thread
Post by: Keku on April 10, 2015, 06:29:47 am
The Bowser Party looks pretty fun in the new game.
I will say that is pretty much the game's best point, if only for the fact that it's pretty much the best Nintendo Land game that never was. amiibo boards aren't worth it tbh, and they are super small anyway.
As for DKCR, I never got the Wii one but I did play like 5min of the 3DS one and I still want it badly. Was waggle-rolling that bad, though? Lots of mistiming?
Title: Re: The Nintendo News Thread

Mario Party 10 is fun, if you have friends, most reviewers who review the thing play it alone. The mini games are worth it, don't play the water board that one will make you hate the game it has some stupid treasure chest spot, that gives players way too many stars based on luck. Since there are only a few boards they get boring quick. I like the fact that you can play with friends and not have to play for an hour or so, most games end in about 30-45min.

I don't even play online often but really? I thought they were going to try to change that stigma a bit on the WiiU. That's ridiculous!
Duos: Yep! It's much harder with a 7 year old being Diddy too. Sometimes I have to just be like "Hop on my back so we can finally beat this level!" I don't look forward to trying to find everything in the levels later on. These levels seem tough enough as is. But the difficulty may go up while "babysitting" too :P

My hierarchy of WiiU diamonds is as follows. 1. Mario 3D World 2. DKC Tropical Freeze 3. Smash Bros or something
Tropical Freeze is an amazing game and Mario 3D World, as a fan of SMB3, is just on another level for me. Both are excellent platforming experiences that I couldn't have asked more of.

3D World to me was a massive improvement but still nowhere near standard of quality for 3D Mario platformers. I do own TW101 and Bayonetta 2 but haven't played enough of them to make a good call, I'm sure they're good though.
Title: Re: The Nintendo News Thread
Post by: TTTTTsd on April 11, 2015, 03:47:47 am
3D Land is just so barren compared to 3D World it's not even funny.
Amen to that. 3D World's level design, setpieces, gameplay and control are all masterful, really. I fell in love the minute I touched it, being someone who is obsessed with SMB3.
It's a 2D Mario game placed in 3D so I guess I can understand the disappointment but it was marketed as such and nobody really should've expected otherwise. As a sequel to 3D Land it basically invalidates 3D Land existing at all outside of portability, which is just proportionate to how good the game actually is. I guess it helps that my favorite Mario is SMB3 so this game complimented it very nicely, since a lot of the design archetypes from both games are present here (one gimmick/new thing per level or so, blocky stage design, lots of symmetry, linear-ish levels with secrets you can explore and discover, much like Mario 3.) What really turns me off from Galaxy (Galaxy having you beat the game TWICE and Galaxy 2 having Green Stars which, while not horribly annoying, are still like mann) and 64 as much as I love them is the length and the pacing, which I think, for someone whose schedule is like mine, is moderately inconvenient, really. I generally prefer the progression of 2D Mario games but love the depth and control the 3D ones bring, so you combine the two and you get in essence, a Mario game that is like, my 2nd favorite period.
I should probably actually write a review for it if I like it so much, might have to hop over to the game review thread and do that since I finished it like 3-4 months ago live.

Are there any games worth getting that aren't mario/zelda/donkey kong, etc for wii u? Also, for those who own mario party 10; I own all of the other mario party games.(collection purposes) How does this new one size up? Btw I disliked the one's on the wii with the motion controls etc. The 64 games were the most fun I ever had with the game. I own 3D world, but I just have to know and this is a deal breaker in video games for me... Does the game get any harder? Or is it the being a "completionist" to offer some challenge to the game with this one.
Title: Re: The Nintendo News Thread
Post by: TTTTTsd on April 11, 2015, 04:20:52 am
Well, you eventually unlock a post-game world with more difficult levels, and there's a final level when you 100% the game, and it's pretty difficult if you try to no-powerup it/Toad run it.
Most of the higher difficulty areas, much like Galaxy and most 3D Marios, are in 100% clearing and the post-game.
Title: Re: The Nintendo News Thread
Post by: Snakebyte on April 11, 2015, 04:27:17 am
3D World is honestly my favorite Mario game. The difficulty ramps the fuck up after you beat the main game and unlock the secret worlds (there's not just one, there's four, though the last is basically only one level and a boss gauntlet). The final level is truly Nintendo Hard™
Also, Bayonetta 2 and Hyrule Warriors look pretty worth owning, and Xenoblade X is coming out later this year.

Title: Re: The Nintendo News Thread
Post by: TTTTTsd on April 11, 2015, 01:05:11 pm
I think it was mostly for precision platforming. The Ghost Ship levels with its thin walkways, for instance. They did a lot more stuff like that with the level design (World 2 has a few levels like this too, with thin walkways).
3D Land had none of those, really. The closest to precision platforming I can remember in 3D Land was the last last level.
(aside from this I am pretty sure 3D Land still had the 8 directional movement thing, you still get locked into it after moving)

PXZ2 might be shaping up the same way, but to be honest, I might get that. I mean it has fucking Hotsuma in it. And Vergil. And Kazuma Kiryu AND Goro Majima. And Kage! Like, jesus fuck. It's like they absolutely want me to buy it.

But they're the same language? Or am i being ignorant?

media sold in europe has got to be translated to french and spanish because they cant read english and refuse to learn!!! So it all usually come out only when all translations are finished
( in case its not obvious, im joking, those games are geared towards kids, you cant expect french or spanish kids to read english , the games are adapted towards those children. )

( in case its not obvious, im joking, those games are geared towards kids, you cant expect french or spanish kids to read english , the games are adapted towards those children. )
fuck them! kids in latin america had to learn enlgish to fuly enjoy games back then and that helped them learned english (it helped me at least).
well, games released in america already have spanish tranlation by defult so i don't know if its the rest of the languages that take so long but then againif they can translate a game to enlgish and spanish from the japanese version at the same time what about the other languages? why aren't those being transalted at the same time?

Post by: PlasmoidThunder on May 21, 2015, 07:47:39 pm
That's not a particularly valid excuse, seeing as Europe has seen games earlier than or at the same time as America. Unless they delayed the American release on those occasions.
On the subject of the game, I hope to hell it's a retail game unlike the most recent Pokémon games. I also hope it's unlike Gates to Infinity in terms of what it did wrong. The perspective? OK. The 3D models? Fine. The corridor dungeons with barely any rooms? No. The slow, unchangeable text speed coupled with the walls of text? Frig no. The lack of Pokémon altogether? All of my no.
Title: Re: The Nintendo News Thread

it's a valid excuse, some developers just decide to leave the european translations for later so they can get the game out in america quicker

that's a lot of things but i'll focus on fire emblem because that is what i am most excited about
the fe if site was updated http://www.nintendo.co.jp/3ds/bfwj/character/index.html
a big new thing is that you can build your kingdom. lots of new things there
Quote
You’ll be able to establish facilities such as weapon and item shops in vacant lots, appoint comrades as salespersons, interact with allies, and interact with other players via StreetPass functionality. When you visit another player’s My Castle area, you’ll be able to buy weapons and items not available in your own land. You can also use My Castle to battle against other players.
(http://i.imgur.com/UueInmn.jpg) (http://i.imgur.com/iYVBpYb.jpg)(http://i.imgur.com/5Pi6GC8.jpg) the amiibo characters have proper artwork, voice, and models, unlike awakening's dlc characters. this is great news for the 10 people that managed to get the fire emblem amiibos. i'm not sure if you can recruit them or if it's just a challenge. the card game in japan gives access to 3 maps with old fire emblem characters (marth, lucina, minerva) so i guess that's how you recruit them. i have no idea. whatever the case i'm glad they're properly implemented and don't stand out like a sore thumb.
(http://i.imgur.com/oNdljCc.gif) there's a face touching thing like pokemon amie. i can finally touch my fire emblem girlfriends. welcome to the new age

I can't understand chingchangchong but I assume that you're going to be able to get those two new characters ported to the Wii U by having the 3DS version although maybe they'll become DLC for the Wii U version eventually, for the people who can't buy the 3DS version (Like they've done with Smash Brothers).
Title: Re: The Nintendo News Thread
Post by: Byakko on June 10, 2015, 05:35:58 pm
Hyped. The shot just says you'll be able to use the new characters on Wii U version, but yeah, it looks to me like you'll need the New3DS version to activate the DLC. Like with Mewtwo on Smash, right, that's how it went ? And that probably implies they'll be regular DLC with a price at a later date. By the way, apparently the full title for the N3DS version is Zelda Musou Hyrule All Stars. For some reason.
... Uh, did the video just go private ? I watched it when I posted and now I can't.
Title: Re: The Nintendo News Thread
Post by: Titiln on June 10, 2015, 06:05:10 pm
yeah, to get mewtwo on the 3ds and wii u versions of smash you had to register the games on club nintendo and they eventually sent download codes. mewtwo was made available as regular dlc 2 weeks later.

Can't imagine i would want to complete all of the adventure modes again on the N3DS. Think i'll wait for the DLC to be come available to the Wii U version unless there is a save sync though i'd still probably just buy the DLC for Wii U since it'd be cheaper.

That's true, there's nothing in the video that says it's only for the New. It's just using one to play it because why would it use a classic one. On the other hand, a Warriors game without proper camera control sucks.

The game looked interesting, but I delayed getting a WiiU because college. Hoping 1Ultima can see the future. Maybe they just used the N3DS for the gameplay trailer because it's supposed to be the standard device now? Not sure, but I can still hope

And how often that has been proven wrong? People have been less than enthusiastic about many things in the past, but how many of them buy the game anyway?
Remember, it is the gameplay, not the looks.

the problem with this is people are holding too hard on their expectations of nintendo games, therefore giving out perspective faster than actually seeing it for yourself and looking deeply into it and then give out a perspective on those games.

Tanabe reminded us about the ending of Metroid Prime 3: Corruption. After Samus’s ship flies off into the distance, another ship suddenly appears. He said that players Metroid Prime Hunters should recognize that the ship belongs to a bounty hunter called Sylux. "He’s actually chasing after Samus, and that’s where that game ends," Tanabe said. "There’s still more I want to build around the story of Sylux and Samus. There’s something going on between them. I want to make a game that touches upon [it]."
"I’m also thinking that, in that eventual game between Sylux and Samus that might get made, that I wants to involve the [Galactic] Federation as well," he said. "So it would be a good idea to release a game like Federation Forces to flesh out its role in the galaxy before moving on to that.
Well... Nintendo could have said something about this at their E3 direct...

IGN: We spoke to Miyamoto and he told us, Nintendo has some really great Zelda footage and chose not to show it at E3. Can you talk about the thinking behind that decision?
Reggie Fils-Aime: “It goes back to the statement i made earlier about how we view E3. We just fundamentally don’t believe in showing content at E3 that is going to be a long term proposition. We like to show content that typically will launch in the upcoming Holiday and maybe extending into the first half of the following year. And at this point, the new Zelda for Wii U is not a 2015 project."

Post by: Byakko on June 18, 2015, 07:13:41 pm
... How ? The only problem I see with that is timing : the fiscal year usually means that they'll want to get big games out before the end of Spring (otherwise it's for the holiday season), and E3 is just after it. So if they're not showing it this year, next E3 will be too late for Spring. What that means is that if they're waiting for next E3, it can only be for a title for the holiday season. And then there are the Nintendo Directs.

i understand that logic: don't show things that are so far away. makes sense, focus on what's coming up soon. the problem is that they already showed some zelda last year (at e3 and even some gameplay at december's game awards) and now it's fully absent. that doesn't make a lot of sense
there are some indie game previews on the eshop and im trying them out. im pretty sure some of these are already out on other platforms
Spoiler, click to toggle visibilty
typoman (https://pbs.twimg.com/media/CHvdG1eVEAAydBF.jpg) platformer in which you move letters around to form new words and solve puzzles. it's a clever idea but it feels really sluggish (for a game in which moving letters around is the main gimmick, grabbing and moving letters around feels really slow) and the Grim Dark indie game setting feels tired at this point. could've been colorful.
lovely planet (https://pbs.twimg.com/media/CHjQk_2UAAEEQd-.jpg) it's a colorful fps game but it's also really basic. it's nice that it's trying to do something different but the gameplay got old fast.
mutant mudds super challenge thing (https://pbs.twimg.com/media/CHkMU_CWcAAVGqR.png) i never played mutant mudds before. i hated the jumping. otherwise it was alright.
runbow (https://pbs.twimg.com/media/CHuOE-BXAAAIWO9.jpg) platformer in which up to 9 people can play at the same time. get to the goal first. jumping and attacking feels good. the background changes color constantly, making platforms and other obstacles appear and disappear. might be an eyesore if played for too long. pretty good
freedom planet (https://pbs.twimg.com/media/CHjpvFrVEAATZ8S.jpg) it's a lot like the earlier sonic games that weren't shit. very nice graphics and music. controls feel great. i don't have anything negative to say here.
rive (https://pbs.twimg.com/media/Btt7hdHIQAA4V2s.jpg) platformer but also has gradius-like segments. excellent graphics and controls, varied all the way through. lots of potential.
soul axiom (https://pbs.twimg.com/media/CHu7M8HUsAAmCTC.png) first person game in which you can make some objects appear or disappear. runs at like 15fps, hopefully the final build isn't this bad on that regard. felt very sluggish. pass for now
forma.8 (https://pbs.twimg.com/media/CHwjFk7UcAAkT-M.png) you control whatever that fly looking thing is. your default attack is a shield that forms around you. you can also set bombs and toss them with that shield attack. it was pretty alright
extreme exorcism (https://pbs.twimg.com/media/CHoIhL-VAAAUD-K.png) in this game you have to grab weapons and kill a ghost and move on to the next round. on the next round the ghost does the same exact moves you did on the last round. ghosts keep piling up as rounds go on. pretty good but sometimes it's hard to tell what's going on.
i would only buy freedom planet and rive

It's still on the Wii U, and they didn't show it this year because it won't come out before next year (highly expected to be for Christmas 2016 season). Why would they move it to the NX ? They've really integrated it into the Wii U gamepad and we still don't know anything about the NX (not even its real name).

Agreed. The WiiU aimed like, directly for Nintendo's core. The main issues were its name, its marketing, being difficult to dev for, and not aiming OUTSIDE of the core to pull in the people that migrated from Nintendo systems.
The WiiU's library, while much smaller, is (quantity wise) aimed more at Nintendo's core than the Wii. The NX should just drop the crazy controller features and focus on that whole connectivity thing as the main feature, so that people can port stuff to it easier and so that they can dev for it better.
I've enjoyed the WiiU and all of its content but overall it's gone from largely unsuccessful to lukewarm.

We can now confirm that the Wii U nearly launched with an F-Zero title. Back in 2011, Nintendo of Europe asked Burnout studio Criterion to work on a pitch for a new F-Zero, which would have been shown at E3 that year alongside the official unveiling of the Wii U itself. Shigeru Miyamoto has previously stated that he's at a loss about how the revive the series, which would explain why Nintendo opened up the field to third party developers, to see what they could come up with.

Oh gods... There is at least hope that with this cat out of the bag, there might be enough fan outcry to force both parts to start negotiating again. The world needs a Criterion made F-Zero.
Edit: And the Wii U would have sold so much better with a killer launch title like F-Zero. :(
Title: Re: The Nintendo News Thread
Post by: Titiln on June 24, 2015, 12:31:02 am
i don't think an fzero game at launch would've helped matters a lot. it could have helped during the horrible post-launch drought, but not enough to make the wii u a success at that point.
fast racing neo (great name) looks good at least, just not as fast.

Fire Emblem Fates has same-sex marriages, 2 versions officially confirmed for the west (http://nintendoeverything.com/fire-emblem-fates-has-same-sex-marriages-2-versions-officially-confirmed-for-the-west/)
Quote
Nintendo has revealed that Fire Emblem Fates allows for a same-sex marriage. In a lengthy statement, the company said that this will be possible between the player-created character and another character in the game.
Additionally, we have official confirmation that Fire Emblem Fates will be sold as two products in North America. The two versions are called “Conquest” and “Birthright” in the west. There are also plans to distribute a third story as DLC.
Read on below for Nintendo’s statement in full.
Quote
“We can confirm that Fire Emblem Fates for Nintendo 3DS, which launches in Japan on June 25, 2015, and is coming to the U.S. and Europe in 2016, includes the possibility for a same-sex marriage to take place between the main character created by the gamer and another character in the game.”
“Fire Emblem Fates comes in two different versions, called the Conquest and Birthright editions. In the U.S., Conquest and Birthright will both be sold separately, as is already the case in Japan. For those who have purchased either the Conquest or Birthright edition, a third edition will be made available as downloadable content at a later stage. Details on how the three storylines will be made available in other regions will be announced at a later date. In the Conquest edition of the game, there is a male character that the game’s player may have his/her male main character marry after they bond in battle. Similarly, the Birthright edition features a female character that a female main character may marry after bonding in battle. Both of the aforementioned characters can be encountered in the third edition of the game.”
“We believe that our gameplay experiences should reflect the diversity of the communities in which we operate and, at the same time, we will always design the game specifications of each title by considering a variety of factors, such as the game’s scenario and the nature of the game play. In the end of course, the game should be fun to play. We feel that Fire Emblem Fates is indeed enjoyable to play and we hope fans like the game.”
Cool for people who were complaining about the lack of same sex marriage even if it is only two characters it's at least a step in the right direction. Bummer about NA actually getting two version though I'll still buy both.
Title: Re: The Nintendo News Thread
Post by: Koop on June 24, 2015, 08:39:50 am
No need to buy both. Just get the second (and third) path as dlc. Also is that for real? The game has already dropped in Japan (please put things into spoilers please) and it doesn't have same sex relations it seems. More dlc maybe? Or is that what's making the Western release take so long?

You'll only be able to have a female Avatar marry another woman in the Birthright version? Guess I know which version I'm getting now...
Kind of sucks that it's only one specific character and is version specific for each gender. I was about to go Nohr too. Though I wonder how that'll affect the Avatar's child, but wouldn't be surprised if that was the drawback of getting hitched to someone of the same sex.

It's a money pit trying to compete with Sony and Microsoft at this point, and people are starting to realize that you can play almost all of those games on a decent PC (and thanks to refunds, developers are starting to realize you can't half-ass a PC port and expect to get away with it). A hybrid handheld/console would make Nintendo stand out from the crowd and allow them to focus on one platform as the home for all their franchises again.

So recently Fire Emblem Fates got itself into some controversy regarding a very specific support conversation between the male avatar and a certain individual..
Some character spoilers ahead, though nothing too major. Read at your own risk.
Spoiler, click to toggle visibilty
(http://i.imgur.com/j49v7Bg.png)
This here is Soleil and she's the daughter of Lazward/Inigo. What makes her unique in this case is that along with Syalla and Zero, she too finds attraction towards the same sex and is quite proud of the fact that she can successfully ask other women out on dates much better than her father and gets incredibly excited (even to the point of arousal) when it comes to really "cute girls".
While it's not explicitly stated that she's lesbian or bi, there's strong implications that she's the latter as support conversations with Foleo (Leo's son) has her state that even though romantic relationships with males aren't out of the question, she would rather have one with a girl.
Now the controversy in questions stems from when Soleil asks the male Avatar help regarding her weakness for cute girls as it makes her lose her composure and kind of ruins her image of trying to be the strong and cool woman that she wants to be. The male Avatar agrees to help and then during the next support conversation he mentions that he sprinkled some magic powder into her drink (essentially spiking it) that causes her to see all women as men and vice versa, this is to allow Soleil to converse with women (who now appear as men to her) without having her succumb to her "weakness". Hilarity ensues and in the end the training is a failure, but everything is ok as throughout this ordeal, the Avatar and Soleil fall in love with each other and get married.
Some people (like SJWs) interpreted this as the main character using medicine/drugs as a way to cure Soleil of being "gay" which caused her to fall in love with the male Avatar. But as you would know it, a lot of these same people didn't really get the true meaning of these scenes (as they were merely going with a fan translation from Tumblr) and just blow the whole thing out of proportion.
Did I think that was the intent of the game? No. Do I think that this should have been handled better? Absolutely. While I whole heartedly disagree with those who think the male protagonist tried to cure Soleil of being "gay", I believe Intelligent systems could have done a better job trying to interpret what they had in mind.

When it comes to sensitive topics like these, you know people like those will be drawn to it like moths to a flame. Hell, I wouldn't even be surprised if this thing gets rekindled once the game comes out in the states.

I find it hilarious that Soleil's attraction to cute girls also extends to her family as we see her observing her own mother and even asking her out on a date in an innocent/playful manner as she finds her really cute.
Despite what this sounds like, it's actually more of a way to delve deeper into Soleil's personality. With support conversations with her mother more leaning towards Soleil's attractions towards "cute girls" more of a personality quirk rather than a full on attraction towards women similar to how Azura would drop her stoic disposition whenever she finds something cute.
I'm already digging her character a lot and finally settled on getting my female avatar hitched to Inigo just so I can have Soleil as my daughter.

i'll try to come up with some questions but i don't have anything offhand. they showed that game at the e3 treehouse and it looked really good and didn't leave me with a lot of questions other than "why isnt this out now i wanna play it"
Because of YOU I added a question why the game was delayed (it was first announced for 2014)
Yeah, I googled the developer a bit and was surprised who Shin'en is actually. They are from Germany, a pretty small team and developed some games I played back a decade ago on the Game Boy Advance like Iridon II which I would call one of the best looking GBA games in general. They also developed FAST: Racing League (2011) which got very good reviews but was only released for the WiiWare in 2011 and seems to be one of those "hidden gems" we have sometimes coming out for a system.
Got around 15 questions together, some about the game itself, others about the development and of course also the influences of WipeOut and F-Zero. Send the questions to a friend who is a native English speaker and looks over my grammar so its better as in the Hatred interview. Hope to have the answers till the end of the week, and hope the game might be released on other platforms as well.

i just couldn't really come up with anything that didn't have an obvious answer. "what would you do for the sequel" more of everything and new things we won't disclose, the game isn't even out yet jesus "what did you want to do but couldn't" see above "were you influenced by other fast racing videogames" yes "would you work with nintendo on a new fzero game" yes
the only question i would have is about the extremely straightforward name of the game (fast racing neo... u do some racing, and its fast) and if they had other names in mind but that might be too offensive
Title: Re: The Nintendo News Thread
Post by: "Bad News" Hoffmann on July 07, 2015, 05:53:06 pm
I asked the question "The FAST: Racing series was clearly inspired by WipeOut and F-Zero, what do you as the developer think are the biggest differences between those two series and your game? Hope they will give a detailed answer on that one
Title: Re: The Nintendo News Thread
Post by: "Bad News" Hoffmann on July 08, 2015, 01:40:39 pm
The interview is online, some key answers are that there won't be any DLC because the developer believes that a game should be released as a full product. The game will be exclusive forever for the Nintendo Wii U. Up to 8 players online.

Did I think that was the intent of the game? No. Do I think that this should have been handled better? Absolutely. While I whole heartedly disagree with those who think the male protagonist tried to cure Soleil of being "gay", I believe Intelligent systems could have done a better job trying to interpret what they had in mind.
I'm really tired of this kind of equivocating bullshit. The outrage was over something that literally wasn't real. The designers are not at fault because outrage culture is actually batshit insane and reacting to imaginary things.

During a meeting with Nintendo on Thursday in New York City, I tried the game and was immediately struck by the strangeness of a disembodied human hand – bearing little similarity in looks to my own – acting as a stand-in for my actual hand. Yes, I'm a white guy, but my fingers are far from long and slender (sadly).
What if I were, say, a 10-year-old black girl? Or a 30-year-old Japanese man? Or literally anything other than an adult white woman (which the hand appears to belong to)?

Now, I'd have preferred to see this title in the 40 or 50 USD range instead of the full 60. It would move more copies that way, with the chance to actually move some more consoles as well, as it is a really interesting and fun title, but 60 is a kinda steep price for this kind of game.

if you make bad roster choices it just means you have bad taste. there are several times he has said things that he later changed his mind on, but that's not trolling either. the only trolling i've seen him do is so slight (some pic of the day posts like the waluigi one, saying zero suit samus is not in the game only to reveal her 3 seconds after saying that) that i wouldn't call him a troll

Seems to me like they just want to push that "Creator's Program" thing.. probably to help push Mario Maker. Which.. would be pretty ideal if they would white list more than like .02% of their games. Until then, they're really going to hurt themselves with this one.

I think it'll fall apart soon, just as when they were going copyright crazy with videos in general before encouraging it. Unlike a lot of companies, I think Nintendo knows when they make an awful decision, even if they don't typically know how to fix it.

They release those things quite regularly. I'd be surprised if they haven't been, as lately they've been coming out once a year. But the last one was released on 3DS in December.. Don't see news on a new one yet.
Edit: Unless you count that NES mix thing they did where you unlock the games (For demoing) with amiibos. :/ ....I think that was this year?

For those unfamiliar with Tatsumi Kimishima, he had previously been the President of Nintendo of America from 2002-2006, and prior to that was President of Pokémon USA in 2001, so there’s no doubt Kimishima-san certainly has the skills to lead Nintendo and succeed Iwata in a very respectable and admirable way.

He is exactly the CEO that Nintendo needs for the next 2 or 3 years, which is likely the time he has before he retires and Nintendo finds a new CEO with a more game developer mentality to him/her. His bank business experience will be most valuable during that time.

I'm pretty sure this is relevant, because it's Super Mario Maker. Or rather: (https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/5237238/mariomaker%20possibleunusedsprites.png) Sprite rips. Some of those sprites are already confirmed to be used, but the majority of them is unused. That also includes...slope sliding sprites for all of Mario's SMB3 forms included in Super Mario Maker (and only those, so no Hammer Bro Suit version and no Tanooki Suit version)! Normally, that would mean nothing, but the Super Mario Maker stage in Smash Bros 4 has layouts...with SLOPES in them, even though it didn't even need any slopes, since not every Mario stage in Smash Bros (4) has slopes either, so why deliberately add something that is not there and didn't even needed to be added in the first place? Maybe there are really plans to bring back slopes to Super Mario Maker in the future? Of course, all of that could STILL mean nothing, but at least it's nice to have something speculate about...
What do you guys think: How likely will slopes be included in a possible future update of Super Mario Maker? Discuss (whenever you want, that is).

A Message from Mr. Miyamoto Regarding Star Fox Zero I made a big decision last week. We have been developing Star Fox Zero for Wii U with the aim of releasing it this year. Although we felt that the development had been progressing well, we now believe that we will need a little more time to work on areas such as the unprecedented discovery that we want players to experience in the game by using two screens, and further polishing the level designs and perfecting the tone of the cut scenes. While we have already reached the stage where it would be technically possible to release the title in time for the year-end holiday season, we want to polish the game a bit more so that players will be able to more smoothly grasp the new style of play that we are proposing. To the people looking forward to the launch of the game this holiday season, I am very sorry. Star Fox Zero is going to bring new game play and experiences that take it far beyond the framework established by Star Fox 64. All the members of the development team are doing our best so that the final product will not betray your expectations. And the game will not be delayed for a very long time – we’re aiming to launch the game in Q1 2016. Please stay tuned for further announcements.

SMT and FE? Together? SMT loves it's "This is pre-apocalyptic and you have to stop it." or "This is post apocalyptic and you're just trying to survive now"... While FE is somewhat famous for "The whole world is at war! Build your army and fight!"
So if I think about the two together all I can think of is "The end of the world is NOW and we are ALL at war! Build an army of monsters, angels and demons and join the fray!"

Yeah, sorry about that. I was just taking my frustration out on how what was once known as SMT X FE became this, and now that I think about it, it is rather stupid of me to make a judgement call on this game A) based on looks alone and not on how the actual game plays and B) before it's even released.
Also, I'm now beginning to see that it does look charming. Certainly not what I'd expect to think of when I hear of the two franchises crossing over with one another. And since one half of it's SMT, I'm sure some dark subject matter will be involved.

The “chance shots” mechanics from Mario Tennis Open makes a return You can Turn off Mega Mushrooms, Jump and Chance shots You can use the Wii Remote, Wii U Pro Controller and the Classic Controller Pro in addition to the Gamepad to play the game No motion controls or touch screen controls You can play online against other players, including a mode where you and another person on the same Wii U can play together against other teams online When you scan a supported amiibo, you can use them as a doubles partner Offline and Online. Similar to how amiibo work in Smash Bros, you can level them up.

I am not hyped at all. It looks like it has been NSMB-ed just like Sticker Star. Absolutely no signs of any new original characters or previous M&L characters besides frickin' Starlow. Hell the one "new" character they shown is just Nabbit. Ugh.
Title: Re: The Nintendo News Thread
Post by: TTTTTsd on November 08, 2015, 01:04:16 am
I'm not really concerned about the idea of it being annualized or "NSMB-ified" given that they've redone the entire HUD in terms of attack FX (the EXCELLENT timing stuff is different, etc.). Looking at the map sprites they've also been changed slightly to match the perspective of Paper Mario so he blends in better (it was hard to notice but I figured it out after skimming) and of course, the music is as magnificent as ever.
Given that this is meant to be a crossover I don't think new characters are meant to be the central focus of this game. We're not going to a new world or a new area, we're mixing two of them together. I mean I should also say we've only seen like, how much of the game now? I don't really see how this is an issue given the gameplay looks as amazing as ever, the dialogue has INCREDIBLE potential (TWO different Bowsers?), and it looks like they're getting really creative with the paper motif (which isn't surprising). I wouldn't be entirely surprised if we saw some new stuff but I don't think it's really the point, I guess. We've only seen one new pf the Bros attacks and I already think they're all gonna be stellar.
And to be entirely real Sticker Star was mostly bad because of its gameplay mechanics and its lack of story direction or any real intriguing or good dialogue, all of which have never really been problems in this series. I don't really see how it's discarding what made these games fundamentally great. Like, Sticker Star kind of disengaged the entire core of Paper Mario, except not in interesting ways like Super Paper Mario did (where story became a central focus).
This is all personal opinion but I think the game looks really awesome and I hope they blend the paper and the "real" characters accordingly. Lots of potential. Given that M&L3 is by far my favorite and it introduced like, nobody new except like, Midbus, everything else was just the usual new enemies/fodder bosses, I'm looking quite forward to this game.

if the smash roster was glaringly small like psabr's was i would agree, but at this point nintendo don't have a lot of big nintendo names to put in the game. the biggest nintendo character not playable in smash right now is inkling and i bet that'll be revealed in december

Yeah, the glitches are the main reason I replay R/B/Y.
Also... I doubt anything will happen. Since Missingno. doesn't do any harm to the game. (Other then minor issues.)
Though then again, there are people who will adamantly argue otherwise....
But there is ONE thing I do wonder.... Thanks to the coding being slightly changed, thanks to redoing the link trade system. Will Missingno. also change? I know in randomizer runs, Missingno. is quite a bit different with each randomization... sometimes even just outright crashing the game upon encounter.
I'd honestly just wait until the games are released, and see if any Youtubers find Missingno. in these versions.

Title: Re: The Nintendo News Thread
Post by: Titiln on November 23, 2015, 03:27:31 pm
i would think the reason the average is down is that some games this year (chibirobo, mario tennis, animal crossing amiibo thing, fatal frame) got pretty bad reviews

Nah. Its just that there are also a lot of great games on the other platforms, and these games are representing many more and varied stories, characters, graphic styles and most important, game genres. The market does not want to see Nintendo dying. But as Vince McMahoon would describe it: " Nintendo screwed Nintendo". Since 1996.
Shigesato Itoi the maker of the Mother games just said There will be no Mother 4.
The demand for a sequel is clearly there, but they ignore their market. Thats the reason why their market share is shrinking. Sinking game quality is just another piece of the cake they are responsible for completely by themselfes.

i think the market wants nintendo to die.... there's alot of games that suck on ps4 and xbox...but becuase nintendo is a "kiddie" system, they get it the worst.
the industry doesn't want nintendo in particular to die, the 3ds is still selling and the wii u's numbers aren't as abysmal as they used to be. they (developers, consumers) just didn't support the wii u during its launch for several reasons. same as any other mediocre system launch from any manufacturer.
the bad review numbers for those games aren't some huge conspiracy, they're just not very good. mario tennis ultra smash seems pretty barebones from what i've read (less things to do compared to the gamecube game from 11 years ago) and animal crossing amiibo thing is definitely not what most people wanted. devil's third looks like shit. tri force heroes looks alright but i think most people would've wanted another straightforward game like the hugely successful a link between worlds
also i can't blame them for not wanting to make a new mother game since that's a really niche game, i think there are bigger offenders without recent releases (metroid, f-zero)
Title: Re: The Nintendo News Thread
Post by: TTTTTsd on November 23, 2015, 06:08:11 pm
Itoi has stated he had no plans for a sequel as far back as recently after Mother 3 came out. Not only is it a niche market but Itoi feels like he's done all he wants to do with his series and I think that should be respected, even if there was this huge market demand for it, if the creator of it doesn't want to do it, he shouldn't just cave to public demand and make a sequel that's half-baked and lacks the full "heart" of what made the Mother series great.
I don't even think the WiiU's library is why it's not doing well, I think its library just came too late and the quantity isn't there, although the quality is. A lot of it stems from how the WiiU is as far as developing for it goes, the devkits are apparently quite expensive (guy I know tipped me off on this, correct me if I'm wrong) and it doesn't have modern architecture in terms of programming. I think it focused too much on trying to do what the Wii did again and I think they're pretty well aware of it with how the NX is shaping up to be (apparently powerful system, doesn't have some crazy tablet, the biggest gimmick is a handheld unit from what we know.)
As far as Ultra Smash goes, it really is what Titiln said. The gameplay is great but from what we've seen the game's content is just too damn bare to justify the price, especially when Camelot dropped that Mario Golf game on the 3DS (for perspective, it was 10-15 dollars cheaper than a retail 3DS game despite having more content than any other Mario Golf game upon release, and its 15 dollar DLC bumped it up to roughly standard 3DS retail game price and nearly doubled the game's content course-wise and added new characters). If Ultra Smash had as much going on as the GC one I guarantee it'd have comparable scores because the base game and visuals look really polished and good. It's just held back by a lack of anything to do outside of play online, and while that's not bad in some cases, it's not in the "soul" of Mario Tennis, really.
Realistically they're not dying at all, they never were. They were bleeding money but they're basically at a medium point right now (not high in profits but not rapidly sinking ship either) so I don't see the issue. I think their game quality on the WiiU (barring some recent releases with the exception of Woolly World which was amazing, I really don't care what reviewers say about it, game was awesome) has been exceptional and in most cases I'd put it on par with or over the Wii in terms of games (very comparable lineup in terms of their best products, I find myself swayed to the WiiU because 3D World is probably my favorite Mario game next to 3.)
I think the tl;dr is they're a company currently behind a bit in a industry that's jetted forward faster than anyone could imagine, and we're in the period now where they're actively trying to catch up. So in this lapse we get some amazing games and amazing things but the road's pretty rocky, I'd say. I'm sure the NX will be better, though. They already have Square developing a main series Dragon Quest for it (and with Cloud's inclusion in Smash I feel like there's more coming out for it, potentially....just a thought), so they've already netted more support than the WiiU had on launch. Here's hoping!

Actually, what's funny is that he said he's okay if someone else makes Mother 4, just not him.
Quote
ITOI: I absolutely love the Pippi Longstocking stories. In them, her father is gone. He’s a sailor who’s gone missing. Despite that, Pippi is really strong and full of life. Her father’s absence isn’t used as a way to give the reader sadness to indulge in; instead, it’s simply given as a fact of life as the story continues forward.
I think that might be the same thing here. That’s why, looking back at the MOTHER series, I feel like I had a reason for making MOTHER 1 through 3. But now my kid is all grown up.
NAGATA: Meaning a MOTHER 4 is…?
ITOI: The feeling of, “I want a MOTHER 4 to be released!” is inside me, too. Even if it’s not something I need to do, I still feel that way. Still, there isn’t someone for me to watch over from afar anymore. If there were a fourth game, I’d want to be the player.
NAGATA: In other words, you wouldn’t mind if someone other than yourself made it?
ITOI: Right. For example, when I watch a good stage play, that’s MOTHER 4. Even if they never intended it to be that way. When I say, “I can’t get enough of this dialog!” you could even say that I, as a “player”, am finishing the world the writer built. Just as everyone finished the MOTHER games for me. So it’d be great if there were such “games” everywhere. They don’t even need to be games, though. If someone wanted to play it in game form, then go right ahead. If someone started making something like “Chimidoro-numa Strikes Back” (translation note: MOTHER 2’s subtitle was Giygas Strikes Back) and you could basically say, “This is clearly MOTHER 4, however you look at it,” who knows, I might just say, “In that case, why don’t you stick a red cap on him and give him a backpack?”
From this interview (http://earthboundcentral.com/2011/04/shigesato-itoi-discusses-mother-4/).
And in fact some dudes are actually working on it right now (http://www.mother4game.com/)

Would not call it dead. Rather calling it finished /complete. Its damn understandable that some of the guys want to work on other projects. Wii U emulation is in its first and 2nd steps already too and we might see another Project M in a couple of years, done with Smash bros 4

They're still being extremely shady about it. The thing Titiln posted was apparently removed. many are suspecting that a C&D was involved and the devs are refusing to disclose it, otherwise why direct all contact to their lawyer's email on their blog post and remove the download section on their site? Theres also the fact that one of the Project M devs deconfirmed the rumor that people from the Project M dev team were working at Wavedash Games. Exactly two weeks ago, they were teasing new artwork for a Project M update and today abruptly discontinued development without warning.
This is more than just trying to just get Wavedash out of legal jeopardy or as a preemptive measure against potential legal action, and I suspect Nintendo is behind it. Or did we all forget what happened a few months ago to a bunch of Youtubers who uploaded videos of speedruns & ROM hacks of Super Mario World?

Given that I speak to members who work at the dev team pretty regularly (look up Umbreon on Smashboards, he does Sheik stuff) and he's told me the exact opposite of anything and also confirmed it has nothing to do with Wavedash, I'm going to settle with that.
He did say that they're moving on to something bigger and different and to do that they need to cut all ties with PM itself (which means they may or may not be doing a Smash clone) to prevent derivative work and other such nonsense. I can post the logs if you want, but Strong Bad (lead dev) and Umbreon both said it has nothing to do with Wavedash at all and that they're removing posts like that because all it does is serve to make Wavedash look bad.
I'm going by what I know but I trust the dev team members I know/speak with enough to believe them when then say this. But if they moved on to something else big and PM was out there, PM would actually be putting them in harm's way so they probably cut it off now to save themselves from that hurdle in the future. They'd always talked about big plans and such, maybe this is what they had in mind.
EDIT:
Spoiler, click to toggle visibilty
[10:00:24 AM] Umbreon: the new project is for an original game specifically to discard legal attachments, being bound to previous standards ala melee, and the ability to have a more creative hand in the design process [10:00:33 AM] Umbreon: some people in the DT went with it, some people like me did not [10:01:02 AM] ???? (someone unrelated so keeping anon): So basically pm's own RoA [10:01:43 AM] Umbreon: yep [10:01:57 AM] Umbreon: tbh we can make characters and stages better than nintendo now [10:02:01 AM] Umbreon: so why not]

Fair enough, but still doesn't explain why they posted their lawyer's contact info on the blog post and told everyone to direct their correspondence to him, or why they would post info about an upcoming PM update two weeks ago if they knew in advance they were going to sever all ties with PM in the immediate future. It just seems way too sudden, as if it was something beyond their control.
I'm still skeptical of this situation, especially given Nintendo's track record this past year, PM being disallowed from both EVO and Twitch, and other related incidents.
Title: Re: The Nintendo News Thread
Post by: Titiln on December 02, 2015, 08:17:42 pm
i guess that they've been looking into making their own game for a while and thought it'd be okay to still work on project m, their lawyer told them to cut the shit out as soon as possible or they could face a serious lawsuit and so they put a full stop to it.
Title: Re: The Nintendo News Thread
Post by: TTTTTsd on December 02, 2015, 08:37:38 pm
But PM was at EVO. It was a side event THIS YEAR (go look it up), Mr. Lz won with G&W (it was pretty neat.) It can't be on the main stage for a number of reasons, primarily because you can't sponsor a game like PM, kind of obvious.
They put their lawyer's page on there for Titiln's exact reason and likely because he can actually answer a good deal of legal questions. Also it IS something technically out of their control, as in they can NOT make a derivative game while updating PM and they were probably in the midst of discussing this like 2 weeks ago lol. It's not by legal threat or actual issue, it's literally because despite wanting to continue with PM they can NOT if they want to apply themselves to a more creative project where they can take more liberties but retain a lot of the gameplay, so rather than risk their legal status, they've decided to cut PM off.
It really can't be explained any simpler than that and anything else is what even their own dev team is considering to be paranoia and internet stuff which isn't totally unexpected, I might add. There's a very explicit reason they put future projects on that front page, they're doing something.
After all, "in the mean time, we plan to be hard at work on new projects, built from the ground up. We can’t spill the beans just yet, but know that we’re looking towards a fresh start with brand new designs. Rather than splitting our focus, many of us want to dedicate ourselves to this new venture fully. In this way, we hope to maintain the level of quality and professionalism you’ve come to expect from us. "
You can be as skeptical as you want but you can't ignore the factual information being fed to us by the very people who made this thing.

It sounds like “something big” is about to happen in the world of Nintendo.

The game got a good review from Famitsu, same score as Xenoblade Chronicles X. People who have played it say it's really good.
It's one of those games for gamers that the masses never buy. Being Cero B doesn't help it either. I'm still scared that it won't get localised since it looks like one of those games that are too Japanese to localise (Dai Gyakuten Saiban for example).

As stupid as the "FE reimagined by miley cyrus" comparison was, I have to agree that making it nothing like SMT or FE shot themselves in the foot. The game shouldn't have even been called SMTxFE to begin with if what we got has little to do with both games.. No wonder it bombed so hard. Well that was a fucking a disappointment

No, they should have scrapped Genei Ibun Roku #FE altogether and make an actual SMTxFE instead!
Even if they made that, people like you still wouldn't buy it out of some twisted irony. Most likely writing it off as an SMT game with Fire Emblem characters or a Fire Emblem game with SMT characters. Or you'll be mad that it doesn't have some obscure character that you pretended to want in like Moulder.
Making something new that is inspired by both games was the best choice.

Why are people saying this when that game's only been out for a few days anyway? Nevermind that the launch week and date wasn't a typical one because of Christmas and all. No I don't expect it to fly off shelves but yeesh.
They tried something different instead of a standard crossover, that's cool. It's just what they tried was a bit too far off course for their fanbase is all. And arguably overdone, not exactly the first game attempting to appeal to the Jpop/idol fandom.

I'm honestly not sure what to make of the NX right now except I hope it's afforable and covers the already mentioned console/handheld dynamic. Haven't had a Nintendo anything since Gameboy Color.

Research firm Nomura Securities has published a report that makes several large claims about Nintendo’s next home console, the much discussed NX. According to the report, Nintendo is planning to unveil the concept of the console between March and May, and the actual console will be shown off for the first time in June.
Nomura also made claims that further support the idea of the platform being a handheld/console hybrid. Much has been read into this speculation so far, and Nomura would go on to say that the NX will “cannibalize” the Nintendo 3DS and Wii U markets. The report caused Nintendo’s stock to drop 5 percent.

On the contrary, it's not as rare as it looks like it's going to be
Yacht Club Games' website said:
On that note, if you’re interested in picking up the Shovel Knight amiibo, then we’d like to implore you to wait for it to release in your territory. There will be plenty and it will not be a limited run, so please don’t feel pressured into importing or buying from scalpers. Don’t spend more than the retail price! Also, keep in mind the new Shovel Knight amiibo features will not function on your game system in your territory until the listed release date. Thank you everyone for your patience!
Plus after playing with it, the amiibos are actually a necessity since they store your custom info so that when you co-op, you carry those abilities and customs over with you.

Amiibos as a whole are a fucked up idea. It's basically paid DLC except you have to get up your ass one more time and get another physical piece of crap in order to gain access to stuff (And that's if the store you're going to even has it to begin with) and sometimes it's stuff that's pretty important to the overall experience like extra characters and coop mode like in this case (EVERY version should have that!).
I'd rather pay $5 or so and unlock the stuff forever on my Wii U account than depend on yet another thing that could get stolen/broken/malfunction. We got rid of memory cards and some consoles and services even support cloud saving yet Nintendo decides to save the info inside these toys lol what the fuck.

i don't mind amiibo exclusive content because it's mostly very optional stuff. huge games like smash and kart use them for ai partners and mii costumes. http://www.nintendo.com/amiibo/compatibility
it was a step up from what disney and activision were doing (get the figures that are compatible with only one game series or go fuck yourself). even then some nintendo games put significant content behind amiibos (fire emblem characters in codename steam), but shovel knight is the biggest offender right now

Saying Nintendo is selling amiibos by intentionally producing small amounts of them is stupid. The only people that are benefitting from that are the scalpers, Nintendo never makes more than whatever the retail price is.

It ensures continued demand, since people are going to buy them immediately when they know that they might become unavailable soon. Otherwise they might hold out on buying them, knowing that they can buy them anytime in the future. Eventually they could lose interest without having bought a single Amiibo.

the amiibo dungeon stuff comes from amazon, so it's not "my uncle works at nintendo" tier stuff like i thought it would be. would be a pretty big offender if it's true. the physical game comes bundled with the amiibo, but people that prefer digital downloads can just fuck themselves

Well realistically you can't count on old Nintendo games being available on the next system and you definitely can't count on digital games staying up for download forever
But you can count on a working system and a physical copy always letting you play a game

Serious question. Why do you need feeling up party members in a strategy game? Why is this whole romance thing a part of the series?
My brief understanding of the series, this whole selective army breeding thing is fairly new, from the game that was meant to mark the death of the series that kinda accidentally brought it back. It was bizarre and was completely removed from what you go to the series for. So why double down on it?
Perhaps it's just my tastes in strategy, but I don't want to care about the lich's uncertain feelings toward that new bloated corpse and if Arthas will still accept it for what it is, I want it to move to the enemy base and freeze the elves, damn it. If I win a fight, I don't want to pat the anime kid on the head and tell them they're a good boy, I'd rather an actual reward. It feels out of place in the genre, I guess?
Yes, I'm half complaining about practically nothing while asking a question and making a frankly terrible comparison, sorry, but it seems like every time I want to like something about the series, you have to backpedal from the creep factor.
But anyway, speaking of creepy, that Pikachu voice. Geez.

the increased focus on romance stuff was new to awakening. this aspect likely helped make the game successful, so it's not insane that they'd double down on it. creating superkids isn't a new thing to the series, it was a feature in genealogy of the holy war. like many features in the several fire emblem games through the years, it didn't stay for other games, but came back for awakening since it was meant to be the last game and including references to game mechanics from all games made sense.
the petting stuff increased your support level with a unit and sometimes gave you items. there are other ways to increase support or get items in the game, so it wasn't a crucial feature to finishing the game and anyone that considered it creepy could've just ignored it altogether.

But if Foleo is a girl, then she'll be a lesbian unless they seriously changed the support lineups.
Seriously though, while I am not entirely too please with face rubbing, I am even more pissed that content was removed as a part of "localization", which is bullshit. You are telling me that Nintendo is seriously axing a feature that took many months and dollars to develop just to not offend us? That is some seriously bad decision making, business wise.
I really hope Kotaku is lying, again. And considering that Nathan "I help start off Gamergate" Grayson (http://www.deepfreeze.it/journo.php?j=nathan_grayson) is penning the article, I wouldn't be surprised if the bastard is pulling stuff out of his ass again.

In the current gaming climate, it makes sense. Almost nobody actually cares if the 'petting' mechanic is in or not, because like you said it's so harmless and completely optional. But all it takes is one self-proclaimed journalist throwing an article up on Jezebel or Kotaku about Nintendo's new molestation simulator to spark another storm of faux internet outrage.

that's the main reason i'm disappointed it was removed. one of fire emblem's strongest points lately is their characters and how they're presented. their personalities showed through supports, specific dialogue against other characters, and even smaller stuff like when you're buying or selling equipment for them, so completely losing a good amount of dialogue (even though it's not crucial) would be shitty. hopefully there's some sort of replacement.

they're wrong. support between characters goes up several ways, but mostly through battling next to eachother on the map. the petting stuff was exclusive to the avatar character. if petting was the only way to reach S (marriage) then no regular characters would be able to marry

I have a hunch that they're still "in" as in, there. The "!" icon which only appears when this feature is available in My Room after the cooldown period has shown up in the ENG ver. Screenshots as recent as barely even a month ago.
My instincts based on what I know tells me that they probably just removed the touching stuff and straight up did the dialogue. I could be wrong, it's just an instinct, but it kinda lines up with the idea of "removing the petting."
Considering Kotaku's source and the other source both seem shaky I guess the best legitimate plausible solution is to wait and see. I just won't be surprised if something is changed considering we've never had an unaltered Emblem game in the West and I can't say I expected this to be the first.

You know Walruslui, if you wasn't trying to cry like a baby yourself and try being a little reasonable, you may have actually had a point. But then you whine and complain yourself, pretty much ruining whatever point you made because you are doing the exact same thing you accuse others of doing.
You are right, they kept in most of it but just removed the petting part...but it's still getting rid of something that was in another part of the game. That still can hit home for people due to not liking censorship in the slightest and overall not being something that is worth censoring over to begin with.
The censorship is honestly just as pointless as the petting minigame itself but the fact that they couldn't even add anything of substance for it's loss...

The people who complain are literally a non entity when it comes to sales. Xenoblade Chronicles X sold much better in the west than it did in Japan. If someone is going to buy a game, they won't let minor changes influence their decisions.
I imagine it will be the same for this game too. I expect Fates will sell over 1 million worldwide very quickly.

oh boo-hoo you can't pet your waifu anymore, go buy a japanese waifu petting game if you're that obsessed with it being removed. i seriously wonder why people are so upset at small things like this.
Waifuism is serious business, it has been since the advent of the modern day internet.
Yeah this isn't affecting sales. Most people don't care, and of course the sect of people in favor of the change will obviously not be swayed. It's just "noise" from a vocal minority, as usual.

Eh, I find it annoying that the US censorship, as little as it might be, ends up affecting other regions where stuff that gets "localized" (Removed without replacement) by NoA is never added back to the other versions (And the USA version is the one that gets exported to the entirely of South America to boot, as we don't have official versions for the most part). I'm surprised the game wasn't neutered even more considering what NoA thinks of its player base over there.
Can't complain that much though because I'm not gonna buy this anyway :P. I don't have a nintendo console, otherwise it would be a day 1 purchase.

XCX is a completely different situation because they actually advertised the latter in comparison to Fire Emblem Fates... That's not how that works alone.

the loss of dual audio sucks for those that would rather listen to the original voices, but it might be because the combined game (all three paths) is so huge that the end result would take up too much storage space.
a lot of people that complain about localization changes and censorship end up buying the game anyway because there aren't a lot of viable options if you want to play the japanese game with the fanmade translation patch. there's a fair amount of hyperbole when people complain about these things, like campaigns and angry tweets, but it's with good reason. they're a group of people that will complain about any localization change as minor as it might be, because they want to let the publisher know that they don't want shit from the original game changed. they're complaining now because they don't want even larger changes in future games. i agree with them, i'd rather play games as close as possible as the original creators made them. if there's anything i find too creepy or plain weird i can just ignore it, or stop playing the game. that decision should be up to me, not to Ashley from Nintendo Treehouse.
there's good reason for concern with fire emblem fates. if they're changing larger aspects of the game like skinship then you know they're going to take liberties with smaller things. it's not noticeable when treehouse handles games with smaller amounts of text, but when they do shit like this (http://i.imgur.com/Hvfv4f4.jpg) then you know a game that's way heavier on text like fire emblem won't be safe.
the vocal minority being xhominid and his rants about "censorship" plus the butthurt weaboos
don't put censorship between quotes, it's 100% censorship. a part of the game was suppressed and altered for its release in regions outside japan. just because you're fine with it doesn't mean it's not censorship. another example of censorship is this forum. if someone were to post goatse it would be censored. that's censorship and we don't complain about it because we usually don't want to see a man's anus.
this moral higher ground bullshit about weaboos is stupid too. did you play awakening? it's full of shit that would easily be described as maximum weaboo

(http://i.imgur.com/up1hlxR.gif) oh heres the main character confessing his love for the avatar character
when you marry a character you get a cutscene with the character's voice actor saying something romantic. this is extremely american. it's not just your unit's marriage you'll be handling, there's an army of men and women ready for you to pair up (http://i.imgur.com/m4BJV5H.jpg) you can also marry this dragonwoman, nowi, who despite looking very young is over 1000 years old (http://i.imgur.com/vjn7YUJ.png) alternatively nowi can just marry someone else so you can marry nowi's daughter from the future who is probably legal age but absolutely not 1000 (http://i.imgur.com/0W0P2dZ.jpg) here's a beach dlc map where you can look at male and female characters in swimsuits. the ingame 3d models use swimsuits during battles.
even the localized result of skinship in fates would make most people call you a bitch nerd for talking to animes
the japanese release of fates also has hot springs, maybe it'll get shitcanned for the rest of the world
when you put things under this perspective, a minigame where you touch faces (male and female alike) isn't that out of place, so when people like you say shit like Haha! Your stupid weaboo face touching has been removed! Now everybody can play this game! Cry more, anime lover it looks like you never fucking played the previous game and would hate it if you tried it. which is fine too, it's a strategy rpg franchise made in japan, with the latest installments putting a heavier focus on romance to the point that it even drove away longtime fans of the franchise that liked games with way less focus on romance, like the gba games and both ike games. some people just skim over the romance shit and enjoy the rest of the game, but for others it's too much even if it's largely skippable

See? Titlin was able to make perfect sense on both sides without making himself look foolish.
Xenoblade X Chronicles and Fire Emblem are 2 very different beasts. Fire Emblem is a DYING FRANCHISE revived from Awakening and pulling a huge censorship stunt like this can easily make people even more reserved to buying these games in the future, people only buy them because again, there isn't much of a different way to get the complete experience without jumping through tons of hoops for the average buyer. But pull this stunt one too many and people aren't going to buy it at all anymore(which Nintendo has been doing themselves with XCX and FF5 along with the ridiculous meme additions to the localizations in the past). The series really cannot take these levels of risks in truth.
Xenoblade X Chronicles on the other hand came from actually being advertised in the West(still haven't seen a Fire Emblem Fates commercial yet...) with regularity AND coming hot off Xenoblade Chronicles, which no one needs to remind you how hard that game has been put on a pedestal. The censorship issues compared to Fire Emblem Fates is a little more miniscule(The Breast Slider loss is a major blow to the create-a-character option regardless) since most people won't really care to undress the "problem child" anyway
Spoiler, click to toggle visibilty
Which becomes pretty ridiculous anyway when it's revealed she's a robot/android
They are not the same situations at all in terms of how XCX is more successful in the West despite censorship vs. how Fire Emblem Fates will be more successful despite censorship nor does it suddenly make it a good thing.

Isn't Triforce Heroes the only game to have a meme added to it and yea the meme is dumb but Treehouse changing dialogue isn't always for the worse the final boss of Splatoon is made even better because they decide to have fun with it unlike the NOE translation which leaves him with generic dialogue. (http://i1.kym-cdn.com/photos/images/original/000/989/189/5f0.png) From what i have seen of the fates localization there didn't appear to be any questionable changes outside names because changing the dude name Harold to Arthur is one of the dumbest localization name changes i have seen Aqua to Azura is another weird one, and at least Syalla getting changed to Rhajat keeps the anagram thing the japanese version had going so that one has a reason for being a weird name change.

Azura is like azure which is a shade of blue, just like aqua.
Calling characters things like "Aqua" and "Joker" and naming characters things that are used in the localised versions ("Ignis" and "Luna"). It's s like Intelligent Systems went of their way to make this game as hard to localise as possible.

Thanks for that.
Seriously though, the fact that someone at Nintendo didn't go "Hey hang on don't you lot find that we're taking this loli, putting her in a micro bikini and letting you romance her in the same way as every other romance option in the game a bit wrong?" is pretty worrying. They didn't age her up visually or just change her particular romance route to a "sibling relationship" thing (although given OreImo, that wouldn't have helped much) or give her a less sleazy outfit. Blrrgh
I guess there's still Tiki since she looks of age.

Honestly, I find memes in games pretty weird unless it's done in such a context that points out how dumb memes are if taken away from the internet and applied seriously or the game isn't trying to be serious at all.
I wouldn't really care if Deadpool started going on memes because it makes sense for him(although it will still piss off fans who hate how Deadpool is treated as a complete joke rather than what he was originally like but I digress), but if it happened to Cyclops or Wolverine, yeah, then it becomes just plain stupid and wrong.
That's just how I see it honestly.

First ew at that quote up there but yeah, both Person Man Benz bring up the good point of Japanese games also doing memes for their dialogue.

Thing is, the west has different tastes to the east (unless you're a weeaboo, har har har), so the game's dialogue may need to reflect that. Take the Sonic Snake codec in Brawl; to the west, that dialogue made absolutely no sense, when in the east, it was more of an in-joke.

I'm reserving my judgement until I get to actually play the game. I know the dude who posted those screencaps said that most of the translation was very well done and he was just nitpicking stuff so I'll take it with a grain of salt.
Considering the amount of dialogue in this game, the fact that only this much has come up despite embargos and stuff isn't really scaring me all that much. I'll give it a go when it comes out. One whole week away though, gonna feel like forever.
EDIT: On that note, "X is Y in this language" is a meme now? I say it a lot when I joke around with friends and I've heard a lot of people say it. I'm not really hip with the kids but it seems like a pretty standard joke/silly thing?
The fan translation (AKA I guess the most accurate translation?) has Niles (Zero if you prefer) saying "Feels good, man" when he levels up and people were freaking out about that, too (They didn't even realize it said "Zero" instead of "Niles" which is a very good indicator as to how much they were actually invested into the game and its US release + the odds of them buying it anyways, personally). There comes a point where I start to ask if people are disproportionately upset about this kind of thing to the degree that they'll find it even when it doesn't actually exist or contextually wouldn't. Like, to the point of where things that are relatively normal become caught up in it too. Pardon my rambling.

- Name Restoration: Reverts the localized names to the romanized names from the Japanese edition. - Amie Restoration: Restore face-rubbing into Fire Emblem: Fates. The blowing functionality may be lost. - Fan Translation: Replaces Fire Emblem: Fates script with the fan-translation script. - Japanese VA: Change the game audio to all Japanese files. (This is a hard write, a menu option is impossible to write in.)

Having played up to Chapter 10 on the Nohr route, the localization seems ok (I haven't run into any jarring issues with the script yet, maybe I haven't combed hard enough). What's REALLY surprising is how damn hard the Nohr route is. They weren't kidding, this is VERY challenging. Expect to reset a lot, especially on Hard (on Normal it doesn't get difficult until like, Chapter 8.)
I'm probably gonna have to pseudo grind (doing paralogues/castle invasion stuff) and try and power up my units for Ch. 10. I'm genuinely surprised by how hard this is though, I've heard from a friend who plays FE a lot that Conquest is the hardest NA Fire Emblem to date, and this is probably true especially on Hard difficulty and above.

The currently existing patcher for the Fire Emblem: If Fan Translation will be modified to work with all editions of Fire Emblem: Fates. Multiple zip files will be released, each one designed to be read by the patcher (eg. Names will be one zip, Amie another zip).
Planned: Simply drag what patch files you want into a predefined folder, and the patcher will automatically rewrite your rom file as needed.

yeah one character was changed into someone that fucking loves pickles. this article points that one out along with a couple new ones. there are slight conversation spoilers but nothing huge https://supernerdland.com/fire-emblem-fates-poor-localization-systemic-of-growing-issues/
this one is a really big offender
the C level conversation between two characters was changed from real dialogue to exchanges of "..." because ninjas are silent LOL. what makes things worse is that apparently the other conversations (B, A, S levels) were mostly unchanged, so the dialogue assumes that the original conversation happened. without that context, their other conversations make less sense.
having played the game myself, most of the dialogue isn't horrible other than a couple instances. unlike awakening, the quality in voice acting is all over the place, it's mostly good performances but some instances sound like bad fandubs to the point you just want to bench the character altogether.

Fire Emblem Fates sells over 300,000 units in North America, series’ fastest-selling game in the U.S. (http://nintendoeverything.com/fire-emblem-fates-sells-over-300000-units-in-north-america-series-fastest-selling-game-in-the-u-s/)
Quote
Fire Emblem Fates sold over 300,000 copies between all versions during its launch weekend, Nintendo has announced. It’s now the fastest-selling game in the history of the franchise in the United States.
Fire Emblem Fates managed to sell more than five times as many units as Fire Emblem Awakening. That game was the previous record holder in the United States during its first three days of availability.
Fire Emblem Fates: Birthright was the top seller between both versions, though Conquest was “close behind.”
Scott Moffitt, Nintendo of America’s executive VP of sales and marketing, said of today’s news:
Quote
“Both fans and critics are falling for Fire Emblem Fates, and the early sales numbers prove the game’s undeniable appeal. This strong momentum for Nintendo 3DS is only the beginning, as many more high-quality exclusive games are set to launch for the hand-held system over the next few months.”
Either Corrin in Smash was hell of a promotion or the Pokemon Model works real well speaking of Pokemon.
Pokemon Direct announced for Friday (http://nintendoeverything.com/pokemon-direct-announced-for-friday/)
Quote
Today, Nintendo announced that a special Pokemon Direct will air this Friday. The company will have news about “the latest on Pokemon games.”
It’ll be streamed at the following times:
– 7 AM PT – 10 AM ET – 3 PM in the UK – 4 PM in Europe
We’ll have a live stream for the Pokemon Direct before it begins – possibly a live blog as well. Note that the presentation will only last five minutes.

Post by: PlasmoidThunder on February 24, 2016, 03:29:03 pm
Five minutes? So it's either a new game announcement, or potential details regarding Pokémon GO and/or the upcoming VC titles, the latter of which will be released the following day.
Speaking of the VC releases, I've only just noticed that they're rated PEGI 12 for 'gambling', while ESRB rates them E.

In Gen 1 Machamp can learn a move that is an OHKO.
In all later Gen's he cannot. But in Gen 3 he can learn a move that makes all moves hit no matter what.
The possibilities. . .is very limited to that single combination that would be pretty strong.
Well it's an Ability called "No Guard" rather than a move, started in Gen IV.
However, there's an item introduced in Gen VI called "Ability Capsule" which allows a Pokemon to swap abilities. This won't have affect for Hidden Abilties, and Machamp's aforementioned Ability isn't a Hidden Ability.
Then again, the only thing holding it back is randomized natures and IVs after porting no you can just create that stuff with an external device once Gen VII is cracked HEEEELLLP

Title: Re: The Nintendo News Thread
Post by: TTTTTsd on February 29, 2016, 10:26:03 pm
It's one of Square's localizing teams/hired teams, yes. Treehouse never directly stated any involvement, last I checked all they did was market the thing.
It's weird cause Bravely Default came in mostly intact.
It's hard to even call this localization, it changes quite a bit, so it seems.
EDIT: If you want to affirm that it isn't NoA or Treehouse, just check what version of the game this is being found for. I believe this is the European release which NoA nor Treehouse has any stake in (assuming they were translating in the first place which they weren't.)
Seems this is the international version after all.

As someone who went into it without any major attachment to the previous entries, I enjoyed Super Paper Mario quite a bit.
And honestly I don't mind the gimmick they're showing off here. If they're going to commit the papercraft aesthetic, I'd rather they do something with it then just leave it at "this is what this game looks like." And at any rate, the only way it could be worse than Sticker Star would be if the box was filled with poisonous spiders.

I didn't hate Sticker Star. It was enjoyable if you didn't look at it too closely. I wouldn't want to play it again, but it was still a 7/10 or so, and I was satisfied with what I paid for it (not much). If this improves on Sticker Star, I'd... maybe pay $30 for it?
No chance in hell I'd pay full price, and it's a huge disappointment, but it's not like they're putting garbage in a box. Sticker Star would've been alright if it had a different name on the box.

Wow, recently the new Paper Mario has received a lot of negative criticisms! I don´t know if this game will be very good! Sometimes, I think "What have you done, Miyamoto?" I still think Miyamoto should stop behaving as a pedantic and destroying this series. Oh, I played Paper Mario and the thousand year door, Paper Mario 64(Virtual Console), Super Paper Mario and Paper Mario Sticker Stars, but Paper Mario and the thousand year door is better than the rest.

Why would you expect Mario Tennis DLC? I think Nintendo knows it's not one of their major games and TBH they really only release DLC for games that it would make money on, like Hyrule Warriors, Smash and Splatoon.
Also I'm pretty sure what we saw of Paper Mario is a fairly early build. There's no way that can be very far along.

fire emblem fates did really well in america, mediocre translation nonwithstanding (https://pbs.twimg.com/media/Ccp1mQXVAAAlTTD.jpg)
Quote
If sales for Fire Emblem Fates: Birthright, Fire Emblem Fates: Conquest, and the special edition for Fire Emblem Fates were combined, this title would have ranked third for new physical software sales, said Callahan.The combined first month sales of Fire Emblem Fates would more than triple the first month sales of the next-highest game within the franchise, Fire Emblem: Awakening.
Quote
February was a fantastic month for Fire Emblem Fates: Birthright and Fire Emblem Fates: Conquest, the newest entries in the critically acclaimed strategy RPG series from Nintendo. The games took two top-10 spots on the best-sellers list from the NPD Group, which tracks U.S. video game sales. In little more than a week, the two versions of Fire Emblem Fates totaled nearly 400,000 combined units sold, including physical and digital versions.
i don't know if it was brought up in this thread, but fates will get new dlc in japan this month, which will presumably be available in america as map pack 2 or something

The problem with these hand holding modes and things like unlimited lives (with checkpoints) Is that it doesn't force you to get better at the game, instead it lets you beat it without learning anything or gaining any skill.
It'd be like if in school if you failed enough tests, they started giving you all the answers, you wouldn't learn anything.

Treating video games like school is a really good way to get bored.
This is literally the equivalent of an optional Game Genie code. Take it or leave it, the fact that people complain about this at all is mind-boggling to me particularly when they have specifically designed a mode where it's harder to boot (so if you really don't feel catered to, well, be my guest! Apparently it's a different kind of Arwing so that might be cool? Dunno, it's worded pretty vaguely.)
Also can we please make it mandatory to give sources for info. Beginner and expert modes discussed here: http://time.com/4245215/starfox-wii-u/

Of course most sites are talking about the invincibility thing and not the hard mode.
The invincible mode is clearly aimed for beginner players. Making games more entry level helps to increase the consumer base. Once those new players start getting into games, they have the option to play the game in its normal settings or higher.

This is a stupid analogy. You're not exactly trying to achieve a higher education playing with video games are you?

My analogy isn't perfect, the stakes are not the same, and the challenge isn't either, but neither of those were the point? It was about how the game gives you the option to skip something you're having difficulty, instead of forcing you to learn from your mistakes and get better at it.

Nintendo's games that actually do have the invincible mode indicate you used an invincible mode to beat the level though.
Remember when games had invincible mode cheats and Gameshark? Good times.
I don't think this is comparable to a gameshark code? You had to buy a third party product to do that, here you don't. Also, unlike a cheat code, this isn't (or at least on other games with a similar feature) a secret?
Just to be clear here, I don't hate people that use this kind of mode and never said I did, I just don't like the idea of giving someone the option of a free pass when they lose, for me it takes the challenge (read: Fun) out of the game. Miyomoto even says in the interview the fun of this game is derived from the challenge of the levels and the sense of accomplishment you feel for beating a level.
EDIT: I don't feel the need to continue this anymore, I'm sorry I ever brought it up, I don't see why my opinion is such an issue on you guys though? I don't like hand-holding in games? it wasn't around on anywhere near this level when I started playing games and I was just fine, and I don't see why it's necessary now, I understand why it's included but am not a fan of it.

Title: Re: The Nintendo News Thread
Post by: Bea on March 15, 2016, 02:33:24 am
I see it as a very valid feature that adds up to the game. As you grow older, you have less time to hone your skill to beat the game, and your hands get weaker, slower and shakier as well. And after a stressful day of work, all you want to do is sit and enjoy a good gaming session where you destroy stuff without having to worry much about it during that short half an hour or so that you have to game. It is far more fun than dying repeatedly and getting frustrated because you don't have all the time in the world to sit and master that game.
I will very likely be using that mode in the future.

Who cares if they add in a special mode for babbies to play? If more people can enjoy the game, more power to them.
Getting upset or offended that a dev includes an option to make the game easier for people who aren't as skilled is such a bullshit gatekeeper mentality. "Man, those filthy casuals don't even know how to play the right way. They shouldn't even play at all if they don't play the same way that I do."

Seems okay to me. Especially for Star Fox which is VERY narrative-driven like a lot of Nintendo's bigger titles. When me and my sis talk about playing Star Fox 64, we talk about Andross being a brain and how much Slippy annoyed us. We don't talk about how she's a noob for not getting all the medals on Expert Mode (I did, woop-woop). When my friends and I talk about Bayonetta, we think of Bayonetta hotwiring a motorcycle with her middle finger, not how I fucking suck for getting Stone Awards for almost every stage.
If this was Megaman where the storyline fucking sucks and gameplay is the ONLY thing going for it, AND if you were forced to play that mode, I'd understand. But it's optional so who fucking cares?
Title: Re: The Nintendo News Thread
Post by: Warden-San on March 15, 2016, 03:54:24 am
It was also implied that you have to screw up a bunch to have that option available...Like with Ninja Gaiden Black's Ninja Dog mode, Armored Core's Human Plus upgrades, and with Super Mario 3D World's gold tanooki power up. I remember absolutely nobody complaining about those because it's not forced it's just something you probably won't even get to use unless you actually tried.

I can sympathize with people wanting to go for the easy mode and enjoy the game when they have very little time to put up with bullshit. I too find myself little time for games at all as I get older. Must be life getting in the way with jobs, having to take care of my family, and other little things that get in the way.
However, even though I am indeed getting old, I am still young and bold enough to dive head first into a challenge, so no easy mode for me in Star Fox! Give me the standard hard mode any day! I'll just space out my time over a course of several days like most of my other gaming sessions...

the thing here is that they did not stop producing consoles/games for the previous gen as long as a new one started, previous gen would last at least 2 years if not quite longer.the wiiu situation is an "anomaly".

That leaked image would be true but it's missing what every other one is missing. The handles. Going by the patent and like, the PoC screenshots of it there's either attachable handles or they're there by default. Dunno.
I'm ignoring leaks and speculation identical to this because it's not worth fussing about until it's actually true. The controller design looks a lot less clunky than the GamePad (which I still don't mind) honestly. It's probably like holding a handheld console with dual analog. I'll wait and see before I judge because I thought the GamePad was going to be awful and it was actually really decent.

Game reviews are usually based on the reviewers ability/inability to play a game well. well in Nintendo's case, the games are reviewed by comparing how close/far a new game is to a game that came out in the 90s
If you play the game as Star Fox Zero and not Star Fox 64, it's good.
Title: Re: The Nintendo News Thread
Post by: Bastard Mami on April 21, 2016, 04:42:52 pm
from whatI read on teh reviews they were either: 9/10 the game is good, you can play all the sidequests to have more fun 7/10 the game is like previous games, the content is small , I did not play the sidequests, also the plot does not has any minority undertones.
Title: Re: The Nintendo News Thread
Post by: Tsunamidusher on April 21, 2016, 07:30:08 pm
The biggest complaint I'm hearing is they don't feel the game should warrant a full price for a few hours of run-through gameplay.
I disagree, going in with the mindset of "it's an arcade-like title". Unlike Adventure games, Arcade games are more condensed and meant for a more frequent replay-ability. Anyone can beat Star Fox 64 if they were just playing through it, getting all those medals and a high score to unlock more features is a complete different story.

the "full price" aspect also needs to consider star fox guard
consider this: for 60 dollars you get star fox zero (72 on metacritic) and star fox guard (74 on metacritic). for 60 dollars you get 146 metacritic points. not many games can claim this. nintendo wins once again

Zelda being a launch title for the NX, which will greatly help move units once it is released. That more sales == higher stock price. And playing short term game with stock is not the usual. I did it with EA stock, mostly because the situation was favourable for that. Star Wars Battlefront underperforming did decrease the profits I had with this move, as I waited to sell after the release. I bought my shares back in 2014, when the price was 12.70$ and ever since Nintendo announced that they would develop for mobile, the stock price has hoovered between 17$ and 25$. These news will have an impact on the release of the NX, as the market condition that Nintendo created with this move will cause more NX consoles to be sold, artificially inflating the initial sales reports, but that will improve the shareholder moods, and more people will want to acquire stock, causing the paper prices to increase.

Literally none? MS, Sony, Ubisoft and Bethesda are there every year. Unless you want to pretend that none of those are big companies or that Nintendo is more relevant than they are. E3 is hardly dying just because Nintendo vastly overstimates their own importance.

You heard wrong, Ubisoft is going to be at this years E3.
EA and Activision isn't, and even that's not what it seems. The former is still holding an event in the area, just in a way where they have more control over their material rather than doing it the standard way. The latter is letting Sony handle their game (CoD). E3 isn't dying, it's just gonna have to adapt to a new way of doing things soon. The event even grew in attendance for the last 2 years, who the hell is spewing that bs?

what market condition their last console brutally underperformed, they haven't said shit about their next one other than it will have a zelda port on launch (unless it's delayed again) and it's launching in march, missing out on the big holiday sales. it's way too early to say people will want it, considering we don't know if it'll be saddled with a stupid gimmick or if it will be too expensive for most people to care. some companies stopped caring so much about e3, but nintendo's competition (sony, microsoft) are still bringing it full force. focusing everything in one game is going to look very sad in comparison to the other two. unless there's some sort of direct i won't be watching any of nintendo's e3 shit. i'm already sold on the zelda game, i don't need to watch treehouse's shitdicks playing through the game and spoiling things (not huge spoilers obviously, just stuff like items and the places in the game).

And then the boss battle starts and she's completely uncensored. The censorsh- I mean "Localization" is so inconsistent in this game, they wasted money to develop new assets and even went as far as getting back Tsubasa's VA to record a line again to say that she's 18.
This shit is ridiculous:

It seems that Localization for any game rated T is inconstant even within a game. I meant, look at Fire Emblem Fates. They are all over the place with the localization, with the stupid dialogue and removing the swimsuit option from the accessories shop (despite I seeing stuff more risque just from a simple stroll through the swimsuit aisle at Walmart or Target). Meanwhile, we have the option to marry adopted/step siblings and have children with them. They seemed to think that teenagers are really much like children and not really children at the same time...
If you ask me, it is more to avoid the hit pieces from the travesty that is called gaming journalism. Another reason why gaming journalism in its present form needs to die quickly and painfully.

This is interesting as, of course, it's a dual release on Wii U and NX. We checked multiple listings for Wii U games, and they only list discs and downloadable methods, while 3DS games naturally reference cartridges as a core category. As a note of caution some of these listings do try to cover bases for the future - in some cases 3DS games only list cartridge media and variations, while others (like for Ever Oasis and Monster Hunter Generations) also reference other media types.
yeah

Yeah, if you're trying to sell that these girls are pop stars in the USA, you don't have them parade around in bikinis. That kind of thing wouldn't have flown with most mainstream pop in the states (well I guess there was that blip of whatever the fuck you call Lady Gaga's brief moment in the spotlight). If you look at most teenage/young adult female pop stars in America, they're usually pretty well-covered up. The new outfits are definitely more in-line with that. It's not censorship, it's localization.
Nintendo's been doing this since the 8-bit days and nobody gave a shit back then. Heck, how many English-speaking fans got mad that the princess in Abadox was totally naked in the Famicom version but clothed in the NES version? All of you, raise your hands if you wanted to see Impa's original outfit in Oracle of Ages/Seasons.
And aging up has been done since forever with Visual Novels (pro-tip, the 18-year-old girl you're banging is 14 in Japan).
Like, I could understand the outrage if they started making the characters spout feminazi propaganda or if they changed a big plot element that changes the whole meaning of the game (whatever the fuck it is for this one), but turning bikinis into something a young popstar would actually wear isn't that big of a deal unless this throws off your fapping routine, in which case I suggest googling doujinshi of a girl you like and god speed.

The blood color change is a rather tame ""localization"" change when compared to everything done to #FE. Also practically no one really plays MGR for the storyline, which means learning a different language in order to play the game is not really required unlike in a RPG like Tokyo Mirage Sessions (And even then, the PC version of MGS has Japanese subtitles and interface available. No idea about the console versions though).
You have a big problem with how you localize your games when the very people who are supposed to buy your product are complaining about the results. This isn't the 90s anymore, people are more aware of how things are worldwide and people are more open to how things work like in different cultures across the world. If they see a weeaboo trash game released in Japan, they want that game to be localized while keeping it as close as possible to the original.
Like, I could understand the outrage if they started making the characters spout feminazi propaganda or if they changed a big plot element that changes the whole meaning of the game (whatever the fuck it is for this one), but turning bikinis into something a young popstar would actually wear isn't that big of a deal unless this throws off your fapping routine, in which case I suggest googling doujinshi of a girl you like and god speed.
The funny thing is one of the first dungeons deal with the main female character's insecurity towards wearing a bikini for photo sessions (Which is a big problem if you actually want to become a big pop idol) the entire dungeon and main bad guy there relies on that part of the plot and everything is changed around in the localized version.
I don't think that ultimately affects the entire outcome of the game though, and I don't plan to figure that out anytime soon because I think the game is stupid anyway and I'm fine with it bombing hard everywhere.

I haven't played many atlus Games but Persona 3 and 4 went out of their way to keep the games as in tact as possible, whether that be a demon shaped like a dick, some partial nudity or keeping fucking honorifics on everything.
Then again those games were rated M, even though outside of the Penis demon I can't see why.

Ouch! Anyone got some burn heal?
Anyway, at this point, I am still pretty annoyed about censorship that is very inconsistent, especially with T rated games. I meant, censoring swimsuits and cleavage? How old does Nintendo think we are? 8 years old? 7? 6? Definitely not at least 12/13 like the label says if Nintendo thinks we are still innocent at that age. Spoiler alert, we aren't; that is around the age where we usually have the talk and start puberty. Heck, back in middle school, that is where the swear words start leaking out and lewd stuff happens behind the scenes.
I was hoping that this game was M-rated when it was first announced so it could stop it with all of the bullshit censoring nonsense, but nooooo, we have to have it T-rated.
Because I will think it will be hilarious if she actually went out in public performance like that and no one bats an eye or cause an uproar.

@ Atlus localizations, no they've never really altered anything like this. And considering how demented SMT gets that is saying something. If I had to guess I'd say it was a special case specifically because a first (second?) party Nintendo IP was involved. Either way this is especially confusing because almost nobody is interested in this game except for otaku who want to look at cute characters in pretty outfits. I don't know why they even bother to localize such a niche product (which even bombed in Japan) if they are going to remove the main reason that niche even cares. I wasn't going to buy this either way, I'm just confused, especially since people are angry that you can't see Cammy's "nipples" in SFV anymore but this incredibly bizarre 1950s soccer mom treatment seems to be okay.

It was really pointless modification as it just decreased the already small number of people who would buy this game. I don't think it's the localisation team's fault (hell the director of the game LIKES the new outfits), but the game itself. It clearly wasn't made with a western release in mind.

When I found out we were unable to provide the same experience as the Japanese version, I also felt some disappointment. But our overseas fans remained happy that the game was being brought over and I’m glad to see their passionate support. In the meantime, the new costumes added could in a way be considered a merit that can only be enjoyed by our overseas fans! Thank you, and please look forward to the game!
the reason there was barely any outrage compared to the changes in sf5 is that the amount of people that care about TMS is comparatively really small

So. Nintendo made an update to Mario Maker v1.44. http://en-americas-support.nintendo.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/15184/~/how-to-update-super-mario-maker
Quote
– Posting a comment while playing a course and after clearing a course will no longer automatically put a star. – The requirements for the fly to appear when creating a course has been changed. – Miscellaneous bug fixes to improve the experience
RIP the multi-cape (AKA Sticky Flight) mechanic. To add insult to injury, P-Switch jumps are the same. The grab bug in Mario World themed levels still exist, The Bullet Bill Cannon elevator glitch (get pushed inside the cannon from a note block push back) still exists.
Otherwise, some people feel pretty pleased about the new comments & starring levels system being their separate being.

So the docking station has the TV output and... presumably, some extra computing power ? And the games don't require the extra power and can run on a reduced unit small enough to be portable ? Because if all the computing power of a home console is in the portable unit, that means it's like a PS4 in your pocket. Is there tech powerful enough for that already ? Or is it simply that Nintendo is, as usual, one generation behind in terms of power, and it's more like a PS3 in the pocket, which is already not too far from a Vita ?
If there's both a docking unit and a digital download library, I hope the docking has extra storage space, because I don't expect the portable unit to be able to carry several dozens of downloadable titles, right ? It would mean you can only play those games while on the docking station - but with a good enough library manager, you could store games you're not currently playing on the move on the docking station, and put your current game on the portable unit storage.
It's good to finally see something like that happen, though. Hardware has evolved a lot but between home consoles and smartphones, designs have still remained "old school" despite lame attempts at going through the cloud.

My bet is that it will be a Wii U like in your pocket. Maybe a bit more like how the wii was stronger than the Gamecube but not a lot.
Basically again a gen behind when it comes to TV consoles but probably the strongest mobile platform so far.

And when you look at the Japanese market at least you've got a very noticeable light (Vita)/medium(PS3)/heavy (PS4) split among their games so I don't know if this becomes a problem for anything but the biggest of AAA games
And if it takes off I'm sure Activision and Ubisoft will find a way to get those games on there

That is a very good point and a chance for Nintendo to make a console that has a lot good games of different genres even if its mostly from Nintendo itself. And if it also means the support of j-rpg's like the Shin Megami Tensei games it might become my first Nintendo console since the Gamecube.

Internet Archive has put the first 13 years of Nintendo Power digitally online for free
https://archive.org/details/nintendopower
Nintendo Power is a discontinued news and strategy magazine which was initially published in-house monthly by Nintendo of America, and later run independently. In December 2007, Nintendo contracted publishing duties to Future US, the U.S. subsidiary of British publisher Future. It had one of the longest lifespans of all video game magazines in the United States and Canada, and was Nintendo's official magazine in North America.
On August 21, 2012, Nintendo announced that it would not be renewing their licensing agreement with Future Publishing, and that Nintendo Power would cease publication in December 2012. The final volume, Volume 285, was released on December 11, 2012.
Title: Re: The Nintendo News Thread: NX News
Post by: "Bad News" Hoffmann on August 04, 2016, 01:20:46 pm
Nintendo is putting together a triple-A software line-up, to ensure NX flies out of the gate next year.
Developer Game Freak will bring Pokémon to the platform, while Nintendo’s first party titles include the previously announced Zelda game – Breath of the Wild – and a new Mario game. All three products are scheduled to appear within the first six months of the machine’s life.
The firm has also been busy securing third-party support, with Sega, Square Enix, Ubisoft, Activision and Warner Bros already on-board.
Sources close to Nintendo have told MCV that the firm is determined that NX will not suffer the same slow start as either the Wii U or 3DS.
The same sources confirmed that the Eurogamer report last week - which revealed that NX will be a portable machine that can be plugged into a TV and features a breakaway controller – is ‘100 per cent accurate’.
Game graphics will be ‘somewhere between a PS3 and PS4’, with Nintendo targeting an audience that sits between smartphone gamers and the more hardcore users of PS4 and Xbox One.
“It’s a nice bit of kit, a bit of a novelty, but a good one,” said one exec that has got hands on with the machine. “It won’t appeal to PS4 fans. Nintendo seems set on trying to upgrade smartphone gamers. That’s going to be a big job for the marketing department.”
NX is currently slated to launch in March next year worldwide.

Every time a group of fans releases a big, unauthorized project that infringes on intellectual property rights, and the company that actually owns the property is forced to issue a C&D to protect their copyright, everyone on the internet always makes a big stink about how they're "attacking their fans" and "evil and greedy corporations."
And every time people conveniently forget that these companies have to protect their copyrights or risk losing them altogether. They let a huge, unauthorized project come out bearing the name of their property and do nothing, then the next time someone makes a rip-off and tries to monetize it they can't do anything because now there's a precedent of that company implicitly consenting to that sort of thing.

Post by: Long John Killer on August 08, 2016, 04:53:57 am
I'm not claiming Nintendo's evil, and can't blame them at all, but their treatment to their series is disappointing. A fan remake of a lesser appreciated title in the series being way more appreciated than anything of the two projects in the last decade does make you wish they'd DO something at least in the vein that people were so excited about the fans doing. Nintendo's not wrong, but they deserve the criticism they get. The ones not just people writhing on the floor in fits of rage, anyways.
At least some other fellow Nintendo series like F-Zero and Earthbound are at least "done" as a story, Earthbound's just waiting for a localization that's mildly unnecessary because of online translations and F-Zero was more about the racing action anyways. Metroid, well, still waiting to see supposedly physically disfigured from horrific surgery altered Samus somewhat reformed from a X that copied her responding to the Federation betrayal without even her normal ship, just an A.I. copy of since destroyed as a character Adam on a rental ship having destroyed the Federation's top secret weapon. That was 14 years ago. Can't blame the fans being hyped for something, given Metroid II being somewhat hard to access to those who missed that game. Besides late as hell cute Metroid ODST: Sports Edition.

Doesn't matter if it's free or not, if Nintendo doesn't doesn't act upon it, it can be used against them one day.
Even with that said, it's still a sad thing to do and all criticism is warranted. I mean, what fan project has caused any company to lose their properties? Nevermind that it can be argued they don't even deserve the IP given their mistreatment.

I hate to be THAT GUY but uh....main site's still up, the download still works and everything, and the creator (DoctorM64) was on a charity stream and got asked about it, said he got no C&D or DMCA notice soooo......on that note, you might as well download it and try it! Who knows if it will or won't disappear, but I can definitely say with 100% surety that it is incredible. Having played it myself it's amazing and definitely worth a try. Who knows if it was actually them or not, but I do recommend picking up the game at a fast rate anyways in case it was Nintendo and they're just unaware that the blog exists (somehow).
If anyone wants it, it's here: http://metroid2remake.blogspot.ca/

Ah, ok. That's really strange then. They only managed to take down a.....mirror that isn't even the main site? Welp, better hit up the blogspot as fast as y'all can if you're interested!
I stand by my statement about the fangame's quality btw, it really is worth scrambling over. It's on that "Streets of Rage Remake" level, if not higher. Really mindblowing.
There is however a silver lining on this shit cloud even if it's true. The game's out there now, it didn't get shut down during development (thank god by rhe way!) so at the very least, it'll be like Streets of Rage Remake where the official site is down but there are like a ton of mirrors. It's sub-optimal but at least people can still find it. Sucks but at least it got done.

Well, until further news drops I can confirm that it's official: having the word "remake" in your fangame's title summons bad luck and juju or some shit and bypasses prior company statements as well, whether your game is actually a remake (AM2R) or not really a remake but more of a compilation with new content (Streets of Rage Remake).
In the context of what this game is I can see WHY this happened, not a fan of it happening but I am 100% glad that it happened after and not during development. At least I get to enjoy it. I'm impressed that the project as a whole is less than 80 MB of files. Pretty compact.

Meanwhile, SEGA not only embraces fan games (And even game hacks now) but goes out of their way and hires the people behind the most popular ones in order to make a new game for them.
Meanwhile, Valve has been supporting and even allowing fan games and remakes to be part of their store front (And in the case of selling them, even getting a cut of each sale) since a decade if not more.
Even Capcom hired that guy behind the SFXMM game and turned it into an official Capcom game (As a pitiful excuse of an anniversary gift to Mega Man).
I don't see any of these companies losing their IPs because of some people making fan games anytime soon. If anything, they're taking advantage of it unlike Nintendo and their obsolete schemes when it comes to dealing with their HUGE fanbase.

I don't see any of these companies losing their IPs because of some people making fan games anytime soon. If anything, they're taking advantage of it unlike Nintendo and their obsolete schemes when it comes to dealing with their HUGE fanbase.
Meanwhile, Sierra and Activision dropped a C&D on that game that was calling itself Kings Quest IX.
Meanwhile, Square Enix killed a Chrono Trigger fan game that had been in development for years, not to mention countless C&D's sent to fan translation projects over the years.
Meanwhile, Hasbro C&D'd that My Little Pony fighting game for using show-accurate graphics and animations in a violent fighting game setting.
I don't know why you're trying to push this narrative that Nintendo is the only company "scheming" to undermine its own fanbase for no reason under the guise of protecting its copyrights.
Especially because meanwhile, Mother 4 (http://www.mother4game.com/) has been in the works for years and Nintendo hasn't said a word about it.

Title: Re: The Nintendo News Thread
Post by: Masterhand128 on August 08, 2016, 05:25:54 pm
I think the main reason behind that Nintendo C&D is because that Metroid fan game is a remake, is like "I won't share a pirate version of Metroid 2 but I will share a recreation". Let's remember Metroid 2 is now selling in Nintendo Eshop and obviously this fangame could be menace for Nintendo because the people prefer downloading the free remake version than buying the original version and if the people won't buy the original version, the economy of Nintendo could decay.
Title: Re: The Nintendo News Thread
Post by: TrinitroRoy on August 08, 2016, 07:08:45 pm
no it's probably because it's not a remake of a game nintendo could sell through eshop
This. Virtual Console games are still a big thing with Nintendo and like Titiln said, they could make the original version "obsolete" It does suck that they're not doing anything with the IP (Perhaps that's not true, since they're making that one 3DS game that had the worst reception ever, F-Zero is the one that's been neglected)
Meanwhile, Square Enix killed a Chrono Trigger fan game that had been in development for years, not to mention countless C&D's sent to fan translation projects over the years.
Not disagreeing with any of your points but to be fair that was like a decade ago.

Yup, assuming it's them they've done a bang up job of....effectively doing nothing. The devs came pretty equipped to deal with real and/or fake DMCA takedowns I guess, you can't really mess with torrents.
Still weird that it's not an actual C&D but I've heard that the devs aren't bending over no matter what happens, so this game will be around for quite some time.

What a bunch of a-holes. They just couldn't keep that up can they? There was nothing wrong with the archive to keep it up! apparently they took it down because they felt that by keeping it on the wayback servers, they felt this would "weaken their ability to protect and preserve it, or to possibly use it for new projects", when in reality the Archive was made in the event that in the day that they DO fail on their jobs, the archive can protect and preserve it FOR THEM. They really don't get it do they? In other words: They noticed the links and this happened (http://www.joshuanhook.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/04/4a3c3e9ddb89babe1ae32689dd958171.jpg)
Title: Re: The Nintendo News Thread
Post by: Duos.act on August 09, 2016, 06:53:33 am
So if you find their takedown of Metroid 2 remake to be valid because the original game is still sold on the Eshop, what justification is there for the Archives? Nintendo Power hasn't been a thing for years and it's not like you can legally buy the old issues and support Nintendo while doing it. I'm genuinely asking because I can't think of a single one.
Title: Re: The Nintendo News Thread
Post by: Flowrellik on August 09, 2016, 07:01:26 am
I find nintendo's overall reaction to all of this appalling and for justification, there is none, because they have acted immature in how to deal with the overall situations. AM2R is by all rights a freetype remake of Metroid 2, a fangame. No profit was involved with the game, just as there was no profit was involved with the archiving of the NP mags at Wayback Machine. That's like having a bunch of gaming companies doing takedowns on mugen stuff (WHICH HAPPENED BEFORE, and I've witnessed the French Bread takedowns), but this time making sure Mugen is either illegal to use or worse yet Tighten up their copyright usages to the point where they might start charging you to use their sprites for mugen works or make THAT illegal entirely. I just.. don't understand why they would up and do this nonsense.
Title: Re: The Nintendo News Thread
Post by: PlasmoidThunder on August 09, 2016, 10:22:32 am
Hrm, no, I can understand the Metroid 2 remake being taken down, but the Nintendo Power thing is difficult to justify; do they feel it'd be competing with the official Nintendo magazine or something...? Do they themselves plan to republish NP for ebook readers...?
I can't quite understand it :s

well, a bunch fo us did not mean it technically or strictly , but rather, if nintendo does not enforce a certain level of protection over it's ips it sets precedence so more people are free to make games based on their ips ; whetehr or nto that conflicts comercially with nintendo's use of it'¿s ips it still makes their csae weaker inc ase they want/need to push harder.

the idea that they would have a weaker case in court against someone cloning one of their games and monetizing it, just because they didn't notice a different free fangame on the internet, is fucking ridiculous
Title: Re: The Nintendo News Thread
Post by: Bastard Mami on August 20, 2016, 12:51:25 am
see the more probable case instead; they allow a bunch of fangames, then there's one that somehow is monetized and they want to take it down, but they use all the other dozens of games that have not been taken down as precedent. kind of like that mugen warehouse site that had paid ads, which guild stoill allows, but said ads have ehigher risk of virii than usual and all the shit they felt like stirring because of that.

The true reason why Nintendo decided to take down these games is this:
Quote
The ad banners displayed next to the fan games and pictures of Mario characters are pointed out in the letter, and seem to be a part of why they were removed. This wouldn’t be surprising given how GameJolt has a program where creators can get 30% of the ad revenue for their work.

Marketing
"Interact with your game on the go." phrase seen on a poster.
Strong co-branding effort with a Mario launch title on many posters.
Console is currently set to launch with least 4 titles on deck.
Stores should be receiving demo units around February.
Base price point seems to be sitting at $299.99
Bundle
The NX is currently set to have a bundle option.
The contents of this bundle is currently unknown.
Bundle price is currently sitting at $399.99
Packaging
The packaging for the NX will be slightly larger than the Wii U's packaging.
The packaging is relatively clean and simple and is similar to the Wii U in terms of package design.
The color scheme for the packaging is white and blue (compared to the Wii U's blue and black).
The packaging still says "NX" however there is still no indication if this is a placeholder or the final name.
The areas of the packaging that would usually depict the hardware were blurred and redacted by Nintendo in attempt to keep it hidden.
Features and Specs
Games will be on cartridges
4k streaming has been mentioned. - What this likely means is playback of content such as Netflix, etc. Not gameplay.
1080p and 60fps are being used by the marketing teams in relation to gameplay on to the console portion. I've heard unconfirmed rumblings of 900p for the infamous hybrid part of the device.

Information from another source leads us to believe that these will be about the size of a Compact Flash cards and will be in 32GB and 64GB variants. Even though this may seem low, the system reportedly contains a dedicated processor just for decompressing the card data. Best case scenario is ~100GB compressed into a 64GB cartridge, however real world usage pegs it at closer to ~85GB on a 64GB cartridge. Level based games and games with load screens will compress better than open-world style games. Edit: This secondary source (who had not yet completed verification) has been busted.

You should take that list of "partners" with a grain of salt. They're probably just the companies Nintendo sent development kits to, and it's unlikely most of them will develop games for the Switch in the immediate future (I mean, some of those aren't even game developers).

It can run pretty much anything at 1080p 60fps unless the dev made it as unoptimized as possible. probably not so much for 4k but that's not a big deal....like at all. But if you want numbers, we only have conspiracy theory ones to which this MAY be them

They've been multiplatform but they've always had a special bond with Sony because they started out developing games for the original playstation.
Here's hoping for Armored Core: Star Fox
Oh snap, they are on the list. It's cool to see all of those third-party names. Hopefully, we'll keep it that way... (Please don't let this be another situation like the WiiU)

To be fair, first impressions seem to be more favourable than they were for the Wii U. I personally feel that if they market this thing right (or at all), it could do really well, though the currently unannounced price will play a huge part in this; it's probably not going to be cheap, but I sure hope it's not too expensive.

I feel like Nintendo has really outdone themselves, and I know I'll be getting a Switch on day one at least. I feel like they did marketing a lot better this time by appealing to a more adult audience, even with the younger generation becoming more enamored with tablets and growing technology. Seems like a strong point they've hit. I'm overly hyped for this, and my hopes and dreams are still holding that Square Enix being listed as a supporter means I might get a console Kingdom Hearts game for the Switch. Still holding out on the battery life of the system, as we've not got any official source on estimated battery life, but that wordpress article Titiln linked said not to be too excited about it. Maybe some form of portable battery charging?
Title: Re: The Nintendo News Thread
Post by: Masterhand128 on October 20, 2016, 11:36:54 pm
Personally the Nintendo Switch is a very wonderful game console because of its innovation and I think it could be a success. I feel very surprised when I noticed a lot of companies are interested for developing their own adult games for the new game console, the only I feel sad is this trailer doesn´t have sufficient information for the game console for example: "The final price of the console", "The first games catalog when Nintendo Switch is released","This Splatoon and Mario Kart are remakes or sequels?" , "the duration of the battery", "The Operating System of Nintendo Switch"... I hope Nintendo will share more informations soon...
Title: Re: The Nintendo News Thread
Post by: Person Man on October 20, 2016, 11:48:10 pm
Now this looks very interesting. The ability to switch between console and handheld gaming on the fly is a huge innovation not just for Nintendo but the entire industry. But I do have a few concerns I'd want to see addressed before I get too excited. I'd like to get a better idea of how big the handheld portion really is. If it's any bigger than the New 3DS then portability could become a concern, especially considering it's got those detachable sides. Also considering how hard a 3DS or WiiU Gamepad chews through their battery, I'm concerned as to what the battery life on something running a full console game on its own is going to have.
All in all though, I like what I've seen so far. Time will tell how well it'll actually do.
Title: Re: The Nintendo News Thread
Post by: Foobs on October 21, 2016, 12:06:07 am
The Switch looks about the same size as an 8" tablet. It should fit in the average pocket just fine (unless you favor skinny jeans) after taking out the side controllers.

That's really not a new trailer, it's more of the exact same scenes we've been seeing for months. There are 4 videos that have been released, one just running through the Plateau, one on gathering material and cooking, one on a full day + night time lapse (25 minutes), and one for the changing weather. That last one is the more impressive one (those lightning strikes next to you), but it's actually odd that the wind doesn't change through the whole thing.

I'm pretty hyped, but disappointed if this means WiiU double-screen features were dropped from Zelda. That was half the damn hype.
Probably not picking this up at launch, but it's a very definite 'buy when there are enough cool games to make it worth it' for me. I love my 3DS and my WiiU had, like, three games I played a lot but I liked it in theory.

i'm pretty sure BOTW was supposed to use the gamepad heavily (like skyward sword used the wiimote) but somewhere along the way they decided to make it a switch game and had to redo a bunch of stuff to not use the gamepad (hence the delays)

Hm. I like what I see so far. I am not a fan of the name though. Switch? I guess it's better than Wii or Wii U, and it stands out from the rest of the crowd but I dunno if that's a good thing yet. Really, the name just sounds stupid to me.
The four player mode turning into four Wiimotes has me a little worried, I never liked the Wiimote. But the concept being fulfilled at all is neat enough in of itself. I can see the issues with losing pieces already though. I hope those extra controllers don't have to be docked at all times not currently in use for the console to function properly.

On the plus side, considering the amount of things the WiiU can accomplish on 2 gigs of ram (Hyrule Warriors, SSB WiiU, Splatoon, Super Mario, etc.), I wonder what wonders that Nintendo can accomplish on 4 gigs?

Title: Re: The Nintendo News Thread

Of course if it sells gangbusters they'll figure something out (probably a bunch of ports from last generation). But it's probably safe to say don't expect, say, DOOM or the latest Mass Effect on the Switch anytime soon.
Title: Re: The Nintendo News Thread
Post by: Foobs on October 31, 2016, 05:31:50 am
Everyone should've seen that one coming. The fact that the switch is portable meant Nintendo had to cut corners somewhere to keep the system affordable.
Title: Re: The Nintendo News Thread
Post by: TTTTTsd on October 31, 2016, 07:57:44 pm
The WiiU had effectively less than 2GB of RAM because a lot of it was focused on the gamepad. It was more accurately like, 1.5 GB at most usually.
The Switch is a 4x upgrade if you look at it realistically. The ACTUAL reason third party stuff wasn't on the WiiU had a lot to do with the cumbersome gamepad, the ABSOLUTELY STUPIDLY BAD RAM, the ludicrously expensive devkits, and the lack of game engine support (no Unity, Unreal, etc.)
This new system has at least 2 of those problems fixed (Can't discern a devkit price obviously) so I think it's ludicrous to assume it won't have a lineup at all as far as third party goes.
This thing is also running on NVidia hardware which means internal partnerships behind closed doors. Considering NVidia is kind of leading vs. AMD this is pretty relevant, the fact that it's using NVidia tech means they can also utilize the connections NVidia has (and there are a lot of those.)
The system's estimated performance is astronomically better than the WiiU because it doesn't focus on wasting resources on a redundant two screen feature that most console devs don't feel the need to use. On the note of comparatively weaker hardware, it only becomes relevant when the userbase for the system is also poor. If the Switch does pretty well and the devkits are priced right, even with the extra work there's no reason third party developers wouldn't just toss their game on it (even with visual downgrades) because that's another revenue stream. Mind you the system's already off to a good start, its trailer has more views than WiiU units currently sold, so the marketing strategy has clearly paid off, as has the system's core focus and design to the eyes of many people.

Whoa there people. I don't think System RAM nearly effects actual gaming performance like you all think it does. I'm not super technical myself and I'm not saying that more ram wouldn't be better but there some videos that did benchmarks on just how much ram actually deter performance when playing. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iKIavpEQQGg If anything the Switch will likely end up sacrificing some multitasking functions or ingame recording like options to save on memory cost.

On the note of RAM, the fact that the Switch uses cartridges rather than discs is actually quite good in this case! The system's inherent 4GB might be a bit misleading, could be a similar situation to the N64 cartridges, if I may cite Factor 5's interview with IGN about this....
"The big strength was the N64 cartridge. We use the cartridge almost like normal RAM and are streaming all level data, textures, animations, music, sound and even program code while the game is running. With the final size of the levels and the amount of textures, the RAM of the N64 never would have been even remotely enough to fit any individual level. So the cartridge technology really saved the day."
Considering how good SSD is today (hence why the Switch is using cartridges most likely) it makes me wonder if this same sort of thing is applicable here. It would explain the initial third party signers perfectly well tbh. Though I have no idea if the Switch's cartridges would be capable of this (I can't see why they wouldn't be though.) This is all blighted speculation but it's not entirely unfeasible nor unreasonable to expect I don't think.

"that mario kart game will have new content" became fact the second it was revealed (king boo, you can now hold two items again). two items is such a big change that i don't think it'll even be called mario kart 8 (or mario kart 8 plus or some shit)

If you guys would have watched the Switch trailer then you guys would know that Mario Kart 8 Switch Edition will have new content in the form of double items and King Boo as a playable...and that's only part of the new content, so no need to be pessimistic about things. So, without further ado:
but personally I believe the straight port rumor might be true.

Not to put too much hope out there, but I thought the logical thing for Nintendo to do to get people interested in "new" content for Smash 4 for the Switch would be to reintroduce the largely missed Ice Climbers, who were only gone in the first place thanks to the 3DS. Plus more amiibo money for them, every Smash character gets one.
At least I'd be more hopeful for Ice Climbers returning than, say, they got together to bring up the second or third place Smash poll characters that lost to hair witch, so King K. Rool or Shantae or whoever.

It confirms that the footage was pre-rendered because it's not shown actually running on the console itself. Bethesda also said they were glad to provide footage for the Nintendo Switch trailer, but that this does not necessarily mean Skyrim is being made for the console.

^^ lmao you should stop because you sound like a massive dumbass. And I feel like I'm picking on a toddler. Pre-rendered means it was recorded from different hardware. Which is what every game on the Switch trailer was, otherwise there would've been all kinds of lighting issues.
Whether that different hardware was another Switch or something else is another matter. People are just approaching with caution, not on whatever the fuck you're rambling about.

TBF it could have been playing on an actual Switch, rendered and recorded, and that video pasted on the screen in the ad. Well, it could be like that, but it's really unlikely that all involved parties would have phrased it like they did if it was an actual Switch in the first place. If they literally said "we provided footage for this ad from some random game that everyone will recognize" there's no reason to assume it secretly means "... also it does in fact come from a Switch, surprise !"

Those are evidently different people, but it did throw me off for a second thinking they were going back to the whole making Link a girl debate. I guess we'll see Link with a sibling or a mother for a bit.
Unless, you know, it's Zelda and she's getting in on the blue tunic craze, but I'm not sold on that yet. Though there aren't too many people going around in the Zelda world praying, are there?
Either way, looks real good as usual.

I think she's holding something (which you could mistake for the Sheika stone), not praying. Given the connection with the land in the sky, it's probably someone from Skyloft. Zelda is probably the one in the last shot next to Link kneeling, it's possibly yet again a different person (at least different clothes). The bird guy has a bow, that might tie to what was said at some point that this game would show there's more to Hyrule than just the one Hero of Time / Hero of Wind / whatever Link is at the time. Like a sort of resistance group, like in Twilight Princess (the group that did jack shit). Glad to see SOMETHING that's not from the high plateau. This game is still half a year away...

What's funny about that is the wii u DID carry over all your virtual console games completely free (even all wii ware stuff) and is still a readily available service that people totally ignore.

ps: Nintendo did not confirm anything yet official.
Facts are only that Amazon, Gamestop and a couple other shops cancelled the pre-orders of the wii U version. The photo of the letter can be a prank after all.

A big Japanese news site where everyone can make an account and upload blogs, the blog with the photo was made just a few days ago so yeah it screams "fishy"
But people also looked up if Zelda wiiU is still on amazon.jp and its indeed delisted, however they have still a listing there for import copies of the game from a UK based third party shop
Title: Re: The Nintendo News Thread
Post by: Byakko on December 15, 2016, 04:58:00 pm
That just seems to be an imported version - that is, a US version that you can have delivered in Japan (it's from something called Office UK but it's shipped from the US so I assume it's a US version). If you want it to mean anything, it could be that the Japanese Wii U version is canned but not the international version. Is the Wii U user base shit in Japan but not in, for example, the US, maybe ? And they expected Japanese consumers to just move to the Switch version rather than to buy a Wii U, but the US user base is still big enough that they'd maintain that version ?

the ps4 surpassed the wii u's sales in japan only this september and proportionately the wii u's monthly numbers weren't as embarassing as the rest of the world's
this september the wii u's lifetime sales in japan were 3.3 million, for comparison 3ds lifetime sales at that same month were 22.1 million (and the wii's lifetime sales 4 years after its launch were at 10.8 ) so yeah even though it didn't get totally destroyed by the ps4 it still has a pretty shit install base

Well, hopefully I won't fall for such a fake leak again, even the website where I had it from did not update its post :S
Anyway, this one is no fake:
(http://www.siliconera.com/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2017/01/switchtarget656x875_thumb.jpg) Target Is Beginning To Display In-Store Advertisements For The Nintendo Switch
- the title will hit this March in both North America and Japan - launch timing in Europe is unclear - NoE pushed for as long a period of testing and localisation as could be allowed - NoE had been working on the proposed schedule of a global launch after the Switch itsel - NCL had always wanted the game to launch in March, and had been uncomfortable waiting until later - the decision to move ahead with March regardless of Europe was only finalized by committee at the end of last year
Title: Re: The Nintendo News Thread
Post by: Byakko on January 05, 2017, 01:32:21 pm
If this is about the localization then it means the Wii U version is affected as well, doesn't it ? Well, assuming there still is a Wii U version, of course.
Title: Re: The Nintendo News Thread
Post by: Koop on January 05, 2017, 01:54:24 pm
Since when has European/Australian localisation been an issue for Nintendo EPD? Every game they have made has had only a few days difference in release date and that's only because games are released on different days in different regions.
Title: Re: The Nintendo News Thread
Post by: Formerly Hoshi on January 05, 2017, 05:11:57 pm
Regarding localization, why is there such a huge time gap(generally) from the US and UK versions? Is it just the translations and inclusion of more languages or something like that?
Title: Re: The Nintendo News Thread
Post by: Koop on January 05, 2017, 06:05:00 pm
The European versions have about 10 or so languages to translate to. It's not usually the translations that take long but getting the team to do it.

Anyway:
Today Nintendo of America announced that following the Nintendo Switch presentation from Tokyo on January 12th, there will be a second Nintendo Treehouse livestream giving a “deeper look” at the games.
That above is embarassing, what kind of people work on the translatations in America for Nintendo?
One of them used to be Mike Drucker, a Comedy Writer who used to work for Jimmy Fallon's Late Night Show, and previously IGN. Dunno if that paints a picture.

Yeah, the Tekken 7 port will come a few months after the pc, xbox and ps4 versions but gets some additional Nintendo costume parts, maybe an extra mode like Tekken Ball or a bonus character, Injustice 2 gets ported too but won't get all dlc characters due to the low sales..just like it was in 2012/2013.

I was going to comment on why not Star Fox Zero, retuning the mechanics back to classic control style instead of all the tilting, but I had completely forgotten the handhelds out now have a remake of 64. And it probably WOULD get a better reception than changing Zero to fans' feedback.
The Donkey Kong one bugs me because I can totally see it being a possibility, just a way smaller title than a launch for a new console.

Post by: "Bad News" Hoffmann on January 12, 2017, 08:53:28 pm
Only 3% of Developers Making Games for Switch According to Survey
While there’s no doubting many people around the World — be it gamers, press or both — are looking forward to seeing what Nintendo have to show and offer at tonight’s (or tomorrow’s, technically, if you’re residing outside of the US) press conference in which more crucial information will be revealed regarding the Nintendo Switch, a survey released by the UBM today — prior to this year’s Game Developer Conference (GDC for short) — shows that of the 4,500 attendees that responded to questions concerning the Switch, only 3% of developers are currently making games that will be available on Nintendo’s upcoming console.
Compare this with not just Nintendo’s competitors in the current-gen console market — Microsoft’s 22% for either the Xbox One or Project Scorpio and Sony’s 27% for the PS4 or PS4 Pro — but also previous-gen hardware — the Xbox 360 also receiving 3% support while the PS3 is getting 2% — as well as the statistic that more developers (4%) are making games for Apple TV and it paints a rather revealing picture of where Nintendo stand at present in regards to their relationship with 3rd party game makers.

Opinions:
I'm down for Splatoon 2. I dislike the Mario title based on that, too much running and not enough platforming. Xenoblade 2 makes it a must-buy. Probably won't pick it up near launch, but probably in the next year. I really hope both versions of Zelda launch at the same time, I need that shit in my body and I don't want to have to buy a Switch to play it.

Well, seemed a nice little news conference. Zelda is coming out same day as the Switch, Nintendo is doing what Sega don't apparently because Mario has embraced his inner Sonic, Splatoon but mobile and not Chinese.
Xenoblade 2 looks like a nice time sink, if I can already see parts of it aggravating me. Have to play the original anyways, I guess, so I can learn who this Shuckle is in Smash. Dragon Quest stuff is good. Sneaking Bomberman at the final minute gave me a slight heart attack until they showed it was just Arcade. I miss Bomberman Quest.
Not that it should surprise anyone, but I don't think they mentioned the amiibo support before, so that was nice.

I will laugh out very loudly if their online subscription service from fall 2017 costs around 5 bucks per month.
Instead of getting a handful games like on ps+ or xbl, subscribers can only download one nes or snes game per month.

Here is the link to that article http://n4g.com/news/2004767/nintendo-switch-reveal-was-just-horrible
I think its not about bashing Nintendo there, the people seem rather to be disappointed. There are some lenghty comments there that explain the negative reactions pretty good. There are the usual stupid "hater" comments there "Nintendo is garbage blabla" as well as the overly dramatic "Nintendo Defense Force "guys "You dumb entitled gamers" replys as well but overall its pretty informative.
After seeing the Switch Presentation myself just an hour ago I asked myself why I would want to buy it. I am never playing on portables, don't care for that option and the games they showed were looking just like slightly upgraded Wii U games.

fire emblem is succeeding where other nintendo franchises have failed. sorry that you don't like hearing about it but you better get used to it
it seems shareholders are optimistic about the price and features of the console and accessories. they're also feeling good about the launch lineup. now i don't know much about the stock market, but the price going down seems like a good thing. lower share prices means more people can buy more nintendo shares, which has to be a great thing for all people involved.

Nintendo Switch Doesn’t Support Miiverse Or StreetPass
The Nintendo Switch will be abandoning social aspects present on the Nintendo 3DS and Nintendo Wii U. David Young, Nintendo’s assistant public relations manager, told GamesBeat that the system would not be using either Miiverse or StreetPass. In regards to StreetPass, Young elaborated to say its omission was due to the view that the Nintendo Switch is more of a console than a handheld.
Young also noted that the Nintendo Switch will rely on other social media platforms for sharing. A share button is present on the left Joy-Con controller. At launch, it can be pressed to share screenshots on as-yet unidentified social media networks, and eventually will allow people to share gameplay footage online.
StreetPass, Nintendo’s tag mode service, was introduced on the Nintendo 3DS in 2011. It allows people who pass each other by while systems are in sleep mode to exchange information. Miiverse launched on the Nintendo Wii U in 2012, followed by Nintendo 3DS, smart device, and PC appearances in 2013. It is a social media network that allows people to share screenshots and post on message boards for specific games.
And Michael Pachter is making a good point there: Michael Pachter: Nintendo Switch Is More Expensive Than Expected, Would Have Been Amazing At $200
(http://nichegamer.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/09/michael-pachter-09-21-16-1.jpg) According to Michael Pachter, the price actually creates issues for the system- he believes the system would have done incredible numbers at $199, and prices it a bit high for what will be a second console for a lot of people. “It’s more expensive than I hoped or expected. Thought it would be amazing at $200 and competitive at $250, but $300 seems a bit steep, especially considering that the other consoles are at that price. I think it will sell well to Nintendo fans, but it will be a second console for a lot of people,” he said

Thought it would be amazing at $200 and competitive at $250, but $300 seems a bit steep, especially considering that the other consoles are at that price. I think it will sell well to Nintendo fans, but it will be a second console for a lot of people,” he said
Good thing it's not just a console then.
The only way it'd sell to non-Nintendo fans is if they invested into the graphics arms race. Selling at $199 isn't gonna change that.

Hell the problem with the WiiU wasn't that it sold only to Nintendo fans. It only sold to a specific sect of Nintendo fans. Like, it was uh....pretty bad, to say the least.
I think, for what it's worth, that this launch price is pretty...ok. Not a WOW DEAL but it's....alright. The peripherals are REALLY expensive so my advice is to keep the ones you have with the base system and guard them with your life.
I do anticipate a price drop, every console and handheld gets one of these. If the price turns you away, it's not entirely unjustified. Just wait for it to go down.
On the note of battery life I feel like it was really stupid of them to not mention that the USB-C charger lets you use portable batteries with the thing as well (I assume) meaning if you have one of these for your phone, it can work here too and increase the battery life of the system assuming it's compatible. But since it uses USB-C, it should be.
Worth noting is that this is the first console since the NES that has been released with TWO CONTROLLERS! Kinda cool but also really....strange that it took this long.

I don't even understand the complaint. The controllers can do everything we expected AND act as wii motes too??? What's the issue? Just more options. And they stopped forcing the gimmick much more in the WiiU era.
The issue is that Nintendo will be devoting development time and money to this motion gimmick bullshit instead of actually good games, which they've been failing at doing for a very long time. One good game every couple of years isn't enough.
I'm not normally a Nintendo-basher, but having a day to think on it, that launch was terrible. I will still be buying a Switch at some point for Xenoblade 2, but this was everything terrible about Nintendo for the last 2 generations all rolled into one massively disappointing package. Motion gimmick party bullshit instead of games? Check. Weak third party support? Check. Barely any games, distant windows for the ones that exist? Check. Disappointing online offerings? Check.
I thought the Switch would fix Nintendo. This was honestly worse than I could have imagined.

Post by: Seadragon77 on January 14, 2017, 05:20:12 am
I myself didn't watch the stream, but here's my view on the Switch
The Good -Price point. $300 is very comparable to the PS4 Pro and the Xbox One S. That's a good start. -No Mario game at launch, but a Zelda game instead... Not a bad idea really since a LoZ game was also a launch title for the Wii back in the day. -FIFA. Hear me out though... For many years, game developers had to drastically rework their games to make it work on a Nintendo system. If EA and 2K can find ways to make their sports games work on the Switch without any sacrifices, that's a win for Nintendo in my book. -Splatoon 2. Hey, if it's not broke... -Super Mario Odyssey. Mario in the real world... neat. Oh, and Bowser looks like a pimp in that suit.
The Bad -Other then Zelda, there isn't much for launch day. You have two games that sort of serve as tech demos, but who is really going to buy a Switch for 1-2-Switch or Arms? -Ultra Street Fighter II? I thought they're done with the SFII saga... I will say this though... It's about time Violent Ken was in a legit Capcom game. Screw Evil Ryu, Violent Ken is where it's at. -Suda51 and his No More Heroes 3 cock teasing. NOT. COOL. -Mario Kart 9 Deluxe... Not a bad idea, but come on. If people have this game for the Wii U already, they probably won't get this for the Switch unless they really want to try out the Splatoon stuff in the game.
The Ugly -Anyone who knows me should know that there is one thing that I consistently rail Nintendo on and it's lack of third party support. A remaster of Skyrim, FIFA, Bomberman and yet another Street Fighter II rehash is NOT cutting it. Remember the huge list of developers they talked about? Where is the stuff from them?? -Fire Emblem Warriors can go eat a giant floppy dong... In fact, the entire franchise itself can go eat a giant floppy dong for all I care. If it wasn't for Melee, it would be rotting in Japan where it belongs. -I'm sorry, but the Joy Con looks like something I'd break because my hands are... big. Thank god for the pro controller.

Am I the only one that can get several playthroughs, going on for weeks, on a single Zelda game? Every new Zelda game I've ever purchased has lasted me at least one week for a single playthrough (when I have the time) and those were mostly linear affairs. This one looks like it could be the largest yet with all the free roaming and discovering content.
Am I just that weird?
I mean, the whole "I'd never buy a console for one game" thing has never struck me as right if I'm getting my money's worth. Especially for a new Monster Hunter game (Which I begrudgingly noticed was never mentioned), those last me for hundreds of hours and that's just one game. I definitely feel I get my money's worth from those.

I guess we don't know how many VC titles there will be in the first few months, but why buy a new console just to play an old game? There's only two games I'm interested in, and they're both seemingly upgraded versions of games I already own (though admittedly we've only seen screenshots of RMX, so there might be something new outside of new courses, 12 new racers and a 'boost' stat).

I don't care about Fire Emblem beyond Awkward Zombie making fun of it (http://www.awkwardzombie.com/index.php?page=0&comic=030909) either, and there sure are a bunch of other titles they could be working on that I would find massively more preferred, but at the end of the day, you can just ignore it Seadragon. It's just some spin-off anyways, and it's not like it's the only game they announced. Unless you have something against Mario and Link as well. In which case, you may be on the wrong console.
Plus, yeah, like Foobs said, I'd kill for some sort of news about Mother, but a lot of Nintendo's good stuff really is rather niche. At least be glad that Fire Emblem was once among said niche titles, and if it can come back with some form of revival, perhaps we can see the same of some others down the road.

OOn Thursday night Nintendo revealed Nintendo’s Switch, including some of its games. Sadly, there was no mention of a new Metroid or Mother/Earthbound. However, it appears Nintendo of America president Reggie Fils-Aime has given fans of those IPs a bit of hope.
When speaking to GameSpot, Fils-Aime had the following to say about the two franchises (and dormant franchises in general), after the media outlet eluded to the fact that Nintendo has many franchises that it seemingly has forgotten about:
“Oh, so earlier today I got asked about Mother 3; maybe you can ask me about Metroid,” he said jovially. “Look, again, I am proud as an executive with Nintendo to say that we look at all of the boards and all of the comments and we really have a good understanding of what our consumers want. And believe me, we take that to heart as we work to create content. He continues:
“So I have nothing to announce–here. But we are aware that there are some key IP that consumers just can’t wait for the next true installment in that franchise’s legacy. Suffice it to say, we’re aware of it, and talk to me in a year and let’s look back and see what’s happened.” Now, it would be irresponsible on anyone’s part to read too much into these comments, but at the very least it’s a slightly reassuring sign to fans of these franchises, that Nintendo is well aware of the demand over them, and that potentially has something in the work that it will be ready to reveal in the near future.
As a big fan of Metroid I don't get why they were not able to figure out a deal with the Metroid 2 Remake maker though. Like how Capcom did it with the Mega Man vs. Street Fighter guy back in 2012. And I don't get why they made Federation Force when they know pretty much what the fans wanted.
Title: Re: The Nintendo News Thread
Post by: Titiln on January 14, 2017, 06:24:37 pm
you don't have to like fire emblem, but suggesting that it should be kept in japan when the last thing nintendo needs at this point is keeping games in japan is fucking insane. KT could probably make any nintendo franchise work as a warriors game (ok maybe not pushmo), but fire emblem was the obvious choice for another warriors game because despite their radically different gameplay they have several things in common, like having a shitload of characters, different weapons, killing tons of weak units, territory control, etc. fire emblem also makes a lot of sense as a mobile game since it can fully work with touchscreen controls only.
As a big fan of Metroid I don't get why they were not able to figure out a deal with the Metroid 2 Remake maker though. Like how Capcom did it with the Mega Man vs. Street Fighter guy back in 2012.
because one is a free remake of a game they can still sell through the eshop while the other one isn't, and because nintendo still makes games while capcom barely did at that point and they needed something to celebrate a megaman anniversary. that's a very bad choice for a comparison. doesn't change the fact that nintendo are very unreasonable about fan games though
Title: Re: The Nintendo News Thread
Post by: "Bad News" Hoffmann on January 14, 2017, 06:40:52 pm
Ah..true..forgot they still sell the classic Metroid 2. But I bet there could have been solutions like to offer both or, to even add AM2R as a bonus to the classic one. Of course that costs all money and is not possible on every platform, but to collaborate with the am2r maker for the benefit of him, nintendo and the fans was never totally impossible. ..whatever.

The "real" people mixed together with Mario really is throwing me off after a while. It's like Sonic when he started mixing with regular people in the comics and then later the games, you expect Mario to be average sized, just with cartoon features. But nope, he's just a really small dude.
I mean, I know in the back of my head Peach is, like, twice his height in some appearances, but this is just silly.
Well, I'd like to hope that quote from Reggie holds some promise, but at this point I'm not expecting much. Nothing really new for Mother beyond moving the two EarthBound games from the eShop to the new system and maybe another HD remastering of Metroid Prime trilogy at most in a year, something along the lines what Microsoft's got 343 doing for the Halo Anniversary games. To be quite honest, that would be sublime thinking about it, 343 might screw up a lot on their own content but those Anniversary games are wonderful. But I don't see it being anything that big in a year's time.
That's the cynic in me, anyways. Lets see to it proven wrong, one can hope.

While this doesn't necessarily mean that it was even the switch running in the trailer it wouldn't make much sense for them to basically use the Special edition footage and sell us the PS3/360 vanilla version which were infinitely inferior to the vanilla pc version anyway.

The year one launch on this system is vastly better than the WiiU to be honest, so I'm not too upset. I don't really view 11 months as a very long time for a new Mario game (most take 1 year or longer, this is actually pretty fast vs. Galaxy and 3D World) and I figure Zelda will keep me busy for quite some time, as will some of the other games coming out.
I for one, am very excited to play a new Bomberman game. It's been awhile. I'm aware I'm in the minority here. The portability and general design of the console will probably sell it more than the launch library though, tbh. Most modern consoles launch like this so it's not exactly unprecedented. It really does help that the console is a really sleek, nice design and isn't kinda ugly and bulky like the WiiU was.
On that note, I love the art direction of Mario Odyssey, yes even the city. Given that the game is meant to be Mario exploring worlds that aren't his own, I think the contrast is very deliberate. To each their own I guess. But just seeing how EXPRESSIVE Mario is and how he animates and whatnot, it's gorgeous, really.

Take it from someone who knows, it really doesn't. Sonic 06 took place in an oceanside Caribbean sort of town. People drawing comparisons to 06 just want to use hyperbole to say that they don't like how the game looks.
It looks like Sonic Adventure with a side of Heroes, but since most people don't actually remember that that those games were anything less than the best Sonic games in the world they don't want to draw THOSE comparisons.

Title: Re: The Nintendo News Thread
Post by: TTTTTsd on January 15, 2017, 06:12:47 am
It is, Titiln. The idea is that each area is supposed to be a new world, perse, which is why they look so vastly different. New York (or well, New Donk) is just the current Mario one. Also it's really not half and half as far as reception goes, I've seen mostly positive with a dose of people going "It's Sonic Adventure" and like a handful of people saying it's Sonic 06 (when it looks NOTHING like 06). People say Sonic 06 for Hyperbole's sake and probably because they've barely actually PLAYED 06. 06's "City" (I struggle to call that lifeless hub a city) featured much less setpieces and was VASTLY larger and had infinitely worse framerate and a lack of focus.
At least the city level here is contained in a sandbox which you can see in the trailer.
Title: Re: The Nintendo News Thread
Post by: Snakebyte on January 15, 2017, 07:03:05 am
It looks like Sonic 06 in the sense of the jarring disconnect between [Sonic/Mario] and the more realistic characters in the world around them, that they interact with. No one is claiming a particular level looks the same. The commonality is a point of bad design, not a more explicit similarity. As someone who's played through Sonic Adventure more times than I can count, it looks nothing like Sonic Adventure. In Sonic Adventure, the characters and the world didn't jar this way, even though Sonic existed in a realistic city with police and cars and everything. They were similarly cartoony and deformed. It looked consistent in a way that Sonic kissing Princess Whatever's hand never did.
I've played through all the pre-06 Sonic games at least once, and watched multiple let's plays of 06. Don't give me any of this condescending 'you don't remember the games, you don't know what you're talking about' shit, please. I do. I used the comparison for a reason.

I mean, that's fair based on what I said, but there's more to it than that. The other areas looked fine in a visual sense, but I'm also very concerned with the overall gameplay. In most open-world games, a lot of actual fun gameplay is sacrificed in favor of building a city or whatever, especially when a series goes from one to the other. Not all the time, and some of my favorite games are open-world, but I'd say more often than not the formula breaks when they try. The platforming here doesn't look focused or fun. I don't see gameplay. I see a pointless open world with Mario mechanics shoehorned into it. It doesn't seem fun to play.
I'm coming across more negative than I intend to here. Tl;dr, from the gameplay shown, I see a lot of running and picking up and carrying and arbitrary Mario platforming moves on scenery that doesn't lead to anywhere. I don't see what there actually is to do in this world aside from whee Mario in a world and that's really, really, really, really concerning to me.
Part of it looks way worse than I ever imagined a Mario game to look, and Mario isn't doing Mario things, he's walking around a sandbox with nothing to do in it other than swing around on lampposts. What is he doing that for? Are there levels? I don't see levels, I just see picking up and carrying bulbs in the Pikmin-y level and a whole lot of running because the spaces are too open and Mario shouldn't be about traversing bland open spaces but those are the spaces we got so how the hell is this going to be A: fun and B: anything like Mario?
I'm sorry, I'm not trying to be Mr. Negative Internet Dick here, but this game looks so bad to me that I'm worried for Nintendo's future. And I don't want to be. I normally like them a lot.

I honestly can't think of a time a game has looked significantly better than its trailers and proved my reservations wrong. Doom, I guess, but that was my fault for assuming the SP would be more similar to the MP. Trailers are always better than the game, or at least that's how it's been for a generation or two. The game is the game. It won't change all that much.

Gameplay-wise its based on Mario 64 maybe, but the setting is something that might put off people.
You know there in Super Mario 64 you had your typical Mario World in 3D. There were the spooky places, the lava and ice levels, the underwater and typical mushroom kingdom landscapes.
There in Mario Oddyssey you have Mario in places that don't really belong to the Mario Universe, its like Mario in a non Mario game with normal sized humans, robots, or temples that look so realistic that they could be a part of an old Tomb Raider game. I can see why not everyone likes this clash of cartoon characters in relative realistic environments.

Difference between this and '06 is that Mario is a series that can afford to take risks or do something a little bit different because Mario is a character that was designed to be able to fit any style or genre and his main series games sell really well regardless; Sonic is a fast whose series was basically one big experiment at that point in time which left fans divided, but rather than go back to what worked, they experimented some more and what we got was nothing short of abysmal.
Also, Mario Odyssey won't have us sit through an awkward cutscene of a human kissing a hedgehog back to life.

I think even if he changed nothing about any of your posts they'd still sound hyperbolic.
Also a good case of a game being better than its trailer? Super Mario 3D World's E3 trailer was....a thing.
Also can you stop pretending the levels are large open world areas? You can literally see where the city ends in the trailer, it's about as big as a level in Mario Sunshine LOL. It's pretty clearly not a huge open world game.

I'm sure there are some cases of games being better than their trailer, just none are coming to mind and there's a trend of it being the other way around. Generally core gameplay isn't going to change a year out, either.
edit: Christ dude, I'm not 'pretending' anything. I didn't see anything in the trailer that gave me an idea of how big the city was, but that's not the point, I was talking about the spaced-out design, how Mario kept running on boring flat surfaces instead of smoothly platforming between things.

Well, I mean that's what it reads like to me, so if I misinterpreted what you meant then I'll own up to that. But you can't exactly blame me for not picking up on what you actually meant. When you start out with "this game looks like complete garbage" and follow that up with "it looks like Sonic '06" with no further explanation until someone calls you out on it, what do you expect people to take away from that? Maybe explain your position more clearly from the outset so that it doesn't sound like knee-jerk bashing.

What about Odyssey's controls or core gameplay looks bad then? I'm failing to see it. Mario appears to handle excellently, and additional footage of a movement demonstration exists and Mario appears to control exactly like he did in 64 and Sunshine. Like at least if you're gonna be upset about the visuals that's fine but everything else I'm reading is pretty much misinformation about an incomplete game. These are not LARGE OPEN WORLDS, they're medium, contained areas. Said areas are gonna be filled up with collectibles in the final build, I'm pretty sure (hell you can already see ? Block lampposts in the city area, expect more things like that). Also yes that E3 trailer was garbage, the only thing interesting about it was 4 player. They showed off absolutely NOTHING of the things that made 3D World actually good. The October trailer, however? That was lit.

There are plenty of terrible AAA games. I'm not expecting this to be a No Man's Sky or an [insert shitty Ubisoft game here], but I have high expectations for core Nintendo properties and this looks like it isn't going to meet them--an average or slightly below-average game instead of a great one, but not a terrible one. It's just all the other ones were great.
Fair point about the Sonic 06 thing. My bad, that's what happens when I post in the middle of the night.
@Killer Kong: Mario handles excellently in directionless environments. There's not enough to jump on, or to, or from. What of the core gameplay looks good? He handles fine, but to do what? There was way too much running on bland, spread-out floors. He was running through sometimes-interesting scenery. I don't see a game there. I don't see the purpose of giving him those mechanics. Why swing on a lamppost? Why jump on a car? What is the game?
I don't see your point about the E3 trailer but whatever, man, you do you.

This is what the game is. As strange an answer as this is, I find it pretty appropriate. They released this official game timeline image. What is the game? It's probably the same as 64 or Sunshine, to get stars/sprites/important objects! Its design philosophy is markedly similar to these two games so I'm putting two and two together. What we've been shown are essentially moving screenshots and we know nothing but I like the environments and the setpiece design and interactivity, something I think Mario does very well. I PERSONALLY think Odyssey has all the potential in the world to be incredible if it follows the design directions of its established predecessors.
The game is also 11 months away and probably subject to some changes but I doubt there will be that much differences.

I mean, the game is that Bowser's kidnapped Princess Peach and Mario has to travel through a varied list of locales to save her. You jump on a car and swing on a lamppost to get to areas where you can either collect things or presumably warp to stages to fight things like that centipede. I don't know what you're looking for, Snake, but it ain't the first time and it ain't gonna be the last time.

I was looking for environments that felt like they were designed, visually and otherwise, to fit the character. The disconnect isn't just visual, it's also in terms of mechanics.
Sunshine was one of my favorite games, but this doesn't look anything like it.
Like I said, I would love to be proven wrong on this one, I just don't think I will be.

They're not in a world where the mechanics make sense. The levels don't appear to be designed for them. Mario is doing the same things he did in 64 and Sunshine, but isn't running around in stages where that matters.

Okay, I think I now understand what he means.
I think he means that there's barely any reason for Mario to jump, double jump, triple jump, long jump, wall jump, backflip, groundpound or air dive if the levels are designed like that that all you do is running around at the speed of a fat italian plumber and occasionally throw your hat.
And to that, I say bullshit, because 1. It's only small snippets of a large game. Trust me, Mario Oddysey WILL get very platformy. 2. In the trailer, there are ALREADY places where Mario has to do platforming, and so was in the very first Switch trailer (where that game was first teased), so not only is your claim subjectively bad, but also objectively wrong.

Various segments of the trailer show Mario running on the ledge of various buildings, jumping from rooftops to ledges, with some ledges at a different height than others, using his hat toss to bounce on the hat and reach a different rooftop or ledge across a street far below, etc. So yeah, it does matter. Not on the ground, sure, but everywhere else, yes.

For... the same reasons Mario ever does anything in every game? Collecting Stars and Coins, and eventually rescuing Peach from Bowser.

I was gonna post about this. The point is that it gives the world a MEANING whether you accomplish anything from it or not. What's the point of jumping on the taxi or climbing the lightpoles? Well, maybe nothing in terms of goal, but in terms of making the world feel NATURAL for Mario to traverse and be in, it works wonders. It's a means to create a world that is not just static. The trees in Super Mario 64 served no purpose beyond the owl, but you could climb them. It was a setpiece turned into a feature that made Mario's presence feel GOOD. In a lot of ways it is attacking and directly addressing the problem with a lot of the less good world-based sandbox games: interactivity.
It's hard to explain. Even Sunshine has this in some way or another. You don't need to bounce off of the objects in Delfino Plaza, but allowing the player to do so makes the background and world feel NATURAL. It makes the worlds feel alive and gives a purpose to the background, and it's something every 3D Mario game (even the non-sandbox ones) does quite regularly.

Nintendo's Reggie Fils-Aime: Why Switch is different from Wii U
“I would say the greatest challenge we had with the Wii U was being crystal clear in our communication of what the product was and what the product could do,"he told USA TODAY on Friday. "When we first showed off the Wii U for example it was misinterpreted that it was simply a tablet and not a device that truly was connected to your TV and could create two-screen types of gaming experiences. With Nintendo Switch we are being very aggressive and clearly communicating the proposition that it’s a home console you can take on the go wherever and whenever you want… We’re working hard to make sure it’s going to be a success.”
Switch is not meant to replace the handheld Nintendo 3DS video game system that the company has been selling for years, and which Fils-Aime says had six straight months of year-on-year growth at the end of last year, with Nintendo selling more software for the system in October, November and December than it ever has.
“The 3DS business is incredibly vibrant and with a continuing flow of software it’s going to stay vibrant,” Fils-Aime insists.

If I may take a stab at it, it sounds like you don't like the new Mario trailers because you don't like the "Perceived Motivation" behind Mario going to such radical locations, doing such radial abilities, seemingly even "wasting time" in these places when his goal is to be rescue Peach (again).
And I understand it, if that's where you're going. Many games in recent years have a more consistent pattern of "1) Do I have a goal? 2) Why do I want to achieve this goal? 3) How do I achieve this goal? 4) What is my reward for this goal?" and In that order. That's "Perceived Motivation". If that's what you're into, then I can see why this type of Mario game with him jumping on everything and seemingly screwing around is off-putting.
However, Mario games like this are about environments over the flag poles. Yes, you could go to the star and complete the mission, but no, you want to explore a bit. Purposefully look for secrets and easter eggs in every level. Focus on the details and crescendo moments in every stage instead of going straight to the star. Why?
Cause these games aren't directly about Mario getting to Peach. They're about you and Mario exploring the scenic toy boxes Nintendo has laid out for you.

I'll just be the guy to say that Sunshine's E3 2001 trailer looked....pretty much to do the exact same things this one did except it showed even less off (unfortunately, I wish we could've seen more early dev Sunshine footage!) but it also featured Mario running aimlessly around and screwing about with seemingly no goal or focus.
The parallels are almost incredible, actually. Sunshine's trailer even takes place in the plaza of Isle Delfino....
Title: Re: The Nintendo News Thread
Post by: Snakebyte on January 16, 2017, 01:44:32 am
No, that's not it at all. Games have goals, even if they're artificial goals. All of the Sunshine sandbox levels had missions with objectives, secrets, and so on. Even the hub area had shines and blue coins in it. In this, he's just arbitrarily walking and platforming on things that look like there isn't much of a point for platforming on them. There weren't collectibles or enemies or anything, and the environments weren't set up for platforming in the same way a typical Mario level, even a Sunshine one, normally is.
A world needs to be densely populated with things to interact with in interesting ways for it to be fun to play in. This one doesn't look like it is.
When I ask what the point is of going on a building, what I mean to get at is that the trailer didn't show anything at the tops of buildings for us to find.

You've already been told several times that it's very likely that they're just showing you the mechanics and all those things will come later, even taxi-jumping will actually serve a purpose, roof-leaping will help you go from point A to point B, coins and missions and secret paths to uncover through exploration, all these things will definitely be there. Just like in the Mario 64 castle. You're just in denial or something and acting all frustrated even though we all do understand what you're talking about and we did respond to that.

As easy as it seems to say this is the final product, it probably isn't. The game's still basically a whole year away and a lot of stuff is probably gonna change from what's pictured there. You can actually see snippets of coins and collectible goodies in the backgrounds of each area if you look carefully (I might take screencaps for my own use tbh, to see if it changes in the final), stuff's probably still being placed since it's very likely that object placement like this is the final step in the process after designing the level layouts.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=53J0yGxs7-U We basically got shown the equivalent of this. Which doesn't really bother me at all.
Sunshine would later get an E3 2002 trailer (very close to its release IIRC) that had a bit more to it but not that much (though it did actually feature him grabbing a shine! Nifty.)
I'll put it out there and say I'd agree with you if this was a trailer for the game and we were like 3-4 months away from launch, perhaps 1-2. But this is like, legitimately in basically a whole year's time or so.
Also no one does it but Nintendo apparently. They did it here too!
Title: Re: The Nintendo News Thread
Post by: Tsunamidusher on January 16, 2017, 01:53:55 am
I don't believe a game doesn't need to be densely populated to be full of secrets. I can even argue that too many distractions can take away from the atmosphere.
Games like this could get away with larger, sparsely populated areas. I mean, it's completely active platforming, not scripted landing positions as... ya know, I would compare to towns/cities in an Assassin's Creed title.
As for the building, that's likely to show off the "vastness" of that level. It's the same for those slow panning screenshots of someone standing on a cliff side to show off a world map.
Edit: Oh, you were wondering why ALL the mechanics, items and functions weren't on display? Ohhhhh... yeah, trailer. Just showing off some content, not all. The city probably has enough in that trailer alone and adding the coins and whatever collectibles would a been too much in the demo. But hey! That desert level had purple triangles. lol

The trailer shows Mario collecting those triangle things in the desert stage, walking around robots in the forest, running over a flower path forming itself over the river, various enemies like turtles with spikes and an angry koopa chef throwing a frying pan, dodging Bullet Bill by doing a wall jump over the hat, Bowser throwing his hat at Mario I don't know what you're looking for.

It's quite a different trailer than 3D World's, I'll say that. I think one of the reasons this one's so simplistic is because (as hard as it is to believe) it's been 15 years since we've gotten a Mario game like this, so they're probably trying to put emphasis on the sandbox world element by showing Mario just wandering. The lack of collectibles (bar a few) being displayed in the trailer might also be a deliberate attempt at preventing spoilers (I know Breath of the Wild went through this, it used to be a sparsely populated dense world but now villages and towns populate it. Even its playable demo had no villages!)
It's a matter of wait and see but I have a lot of faith in their team when it comes to 3D Mario games. I think they'll do a fine job here. On that note, here's my compilation of object placements based on the current trailer. I'll leave it here so I can remember and come back to it when the game's out and see if anything changes.

Yeah I figured those would've been the ones everyone had seen. I just wanted to mostly show a pic of the collectibles in the city since most of the trailer footage REALLY didn't highlight that the city had any beyond the ? blocks.

The trailer showed off the rainy city level a bit, but not the construction hat goombas. We did get to see suave hat tanks that shot at Mario a bit, though.

Why are people making the claim that it's been 15 years? How is this like 64/Sunshine in a way that Galaxy wasn't, Galaxy's gravity gimmick aside?

Galaxy was basically Point A to Point B. I loved it, but it was decidedly less sandbox-y. I think even in interviews Miyamoto said they did it deliberately to make it more accessible IIRC. 3D Land and 3D World kind of succeeded the Galaxy style and made it more inline with the 2D Marios. They're all a wonderful lot of games though.
That thing in the Sunshine trailer is an unused enemy and it's...quite the spectacle. http://mario.wikia.com/wiki/Tramplin_Stu It's referred to as Tramplin' Stu, I guess they just decided it wasn't fit for the final build of the game so they canned it, but it was still in the game's files. If you're interested in stuff like that, Beta64 did a huge video on Sunshine's beta changes, it's really fascinating and worth a watch to see how much a game can change in about a year.

A proper Long Jump, for one. Second would be the camera controls we've been shown in trailers will be more tradition and not need the dynamic ass-angles camera (as I call it) or the super zoomed out camera. By Ass-Angle, the camera in the Galaxy would often get shots from either mario's backside or his ass to show the player where they may want to go. Which is what commonly necessary jumping across planetoids.

That's what early trailers do. They show off intended content of a game, the intended idea of the game they want to make. That's how companies get people excited and support their games prior to release.
That was likely a monster they had rampaging and dropping crud around for Mario to clean up in Delfino, but removed for whatever reason.

@Titiln: Yes, I know Nintendo was, I just didn't understand why Nintendo was.
@Killer Kong: Gotcha. I only briefly tried Galaxy and didn't really care for it, the gravity stuff de-emphasized jumping and platforming and that killed the joy for me. Not trying to shit on it, it just didn't click with me like Sunshine did. The N64 kinda passed me by as a kid, I didn't really have access to Mario 64 and it aged pretty badly by the time I could get to it, but I loved Sunshine and 3D World. The way FLUDD made the platforming more forgiving helped a lot, as the one or two times I got to try Mario 64 as a kid I was REALLY bad at it.
Assuming this (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KAOu8u2IEQ4) is the video you meant, I am now watching the video.

Yeah that's the video. Even if Odyssey isn't what any of us expect, you'll at least think Beta64's video is worth it. Their content in general is great, and all REALLY fascinating. Mario games really are Nintendo's testbed for a new system's capabilities and everything.
It's also crazy how ugly BETA FLUDD was. Chubbier Nozzle really made the design pop a lot more. I like Blue Gooper Blooper a bit better, though.

Title: Re: The Nintendo News Thread
Post by: "Bad News" Hoffmann on January 16, 2017, 02:44:44 pm
...isnt that obvious?
Borderlands never made it to a Nintendo console and the guy there says he would only buy the Switch if Borderlands 3 would be on it, a game that will most likely get downgraded versions even on the PS4 Pro if it will be the same situation as back with Borderlands 1,2,Pre-quel.
At this time its pretty obvious that the Switch will barely get any future multiplatform games that are technically demanding titles and won't run without serious downgrading. That's probably why Bethesda releases their 5 year old Skyrim on it but did not announce a port of Doom (2016)
Title: Re: The Nintendo News Thread

Being technically demanding didn't stop crystal dynamics from pulling off a port of Rise of the Tomb Raider on 360 despite being very technically demanding to current gen consoles and mid-high range PC's.
Title: Re: The Nintendo News Thread
Post by: "Bad News" Hoffmann on January 16, 2017, 04:28:43 pm
It also didnt stop the crippled snes ports of Killer Instinct or Mortal Kombat 3 but the big majority of new games are not getting any lastgen ports, years after the current gen platforms were released, and after the Wii U it looks like the majority of the "AAA" games third party developers will ignore the platform anyway or just port older games to it. Exceptions are the rule but to expect Borderlands 3 coming to the Switch was very unrealistic..in my opinion at least.
Title: Re: The Nintendo News Thread
Post by: TTTTTsd on January 16, 2017, 05:58:36 pm
Western devs are hesitant not just because of hardware but because of estimates on the launch and overall end userbase for the system. That being said, if the system sells well and has a sizable audience, we may or may not see next-gen games (albeit ported down) on the thing, though I am unsure. I do think it is far more capable than the WiiU was and far less demanding to work with, so I really do think it's a matter of how many people buy the Switch. If it has a sizable userbase and it natively supports dev engines (it has the latter), then it'll be seen as free $. Otherwise? I can see it garnering strong third party support in regards to two other sets of devs regardless of its success or lack thereof: Japanese developers (AA and below, some AAA) and Indie game developers. Given the engines it supports, indies are a given, especially given the portability of the system, it lends itself nicely to the kinds of games independent studios create, to be honest. Japanese devs are going to be all over it because it is entering the Japanese market in an attempt to appeal to the core over there, which is handheld > console. These are just my predictions though, they'll all probably be wrong in 2019 or something.
It's already going to do better than the wiiU, mark my words, because I can confidently say that while the marketing isn't perfect, it has at least told people what a Switch IS and why you should own one.
Title: Re: The Nintendo News Thread
Post by: Speedpreacher on January 16, 2017, 06:15:45 pm
Hopefully Bethesda puts the work into not making Skyrim an unoptimized shit-show, because that should give other devs the confidence to put beefier ports on the system. You can tell Ubisoft and Capcom are skittish because they could have dumped RE 4 or the Ezio Trilogy and instead they went with SF II and Rayman Legends, safe non-taxing co-op games.

it's not impossible that borderlands 3 could be on the switch, it didn't hurt to ask. the games weren't exactly graphical masterpieces that pushed consoles to the max. it didn't matter that no borderlands game was on the switch before, it didn't stop skyrim. we dont even know what it looks like and the tweets even made it seem like gearbox wanted it to happen. we're at a point where a console's horsepower can make most games happen with the gameplay being identical, the difference being how the graphics look (unlike snes games that had to make bigger sacrifices). from a technical standpoint if they want to make it happen they can. the bigger issue here being that it's a nintendo system, their last one tanked and developers are understandably afraid that porting games there will be a waste of time and money. some might also be afraid that nintendo's audience won't care for the games they offer
it's also possible that nintendo told pitchford to go fuck himself because sega is a close partner to nintendo and the relationship between sega and gearbox is awful at best

A game where the only way to get units/characters would be to put in game cash or real money into summoning them except it's all RNG based so you don't know what your gonna get. There's usually different star ratings for each character so the best will be a 5 star base but have the lowest chance of appearing while 3 stars will litter the summoning pull due to having a higher summoning rate and usually aren't that great. Example of some popular ones would be Fate Grand Order, Final Fantasy Brave Exvius, Granblue Fantasy, Brave Frontier or if you remember those machines that had a bunch of toys in them that you put a quater in and got a random one it's that in game form.

Whats more important is that this will have 1 and 2 on a single cartridge and will release in March in Japan but the west won't even get 2 until April with the ps4 version. So this in my opinion was a missed opportunity to release it earlier on the switch for the west with the premium of having both games at the same time.

Like... I don't even know why they bother with this as it's not going to sell at all here. The fact that you can get it for cheaper if you travel to a neighbor country and buy it there and come back is ridiculous.
It should be far cheaper by March because by then the government is going to get rid of a tech related import tax but I doubt Nintendo is going to adjust the price of an area the company doesn't even know where's in the map.

my griping about the switch's price here isn't very useful without comparisons to the other consoles. for the following i will use the prices found at american gamestop and chilean microplay for new consoles
Quote
Switch: AMERICA: 300 dollars CHILE: 531 dollars
PS4 Pro 1TB AMERICA: 400 dollars CHILE: 563 dollars
Xbox One S 500GB Minecraft Favorites Console Bundle AMERICA: 300 dollars CHILE: 479 dollars
Xbox One S 2TB Console - Gears of War 4 Limited Edition Bundle AMERICA: 450 dollars CHILE: 610 dollars
what's it like in argentina for the other consoles, rednavi? i'd look myself but i don't know which store has relatively good prices
Title: Re: The Nintendo News Thread
Post by: rednavi -RETIRED on January 23, 2017, 12:31:29 am
This is the updated list with the new prices I've added. I just checked my usual three most popular console related sites to get the cheapest price these consoles go for (Not all the prices belong to one particular store but there aren't many differences between them anyway):
Xbox One S 500GB Minecraft Favorites Console Bundle AMERICA: 300 dollars CHILE: 479 dollars ARGENTINA: 629 dollars
Xbox One S 2TB Console - Gears of War 4 Limited Edition Bundle AMERICA: 450 dollars CHILE: 610 dollars ARGENTINA: 848 dollars
These should all go down once we hit March unless people want to rip off their consumers even more. It's pretty common for Argentinians to go to Chile to buy tech related stuff because it's cheaper than importing the stuff. That's kinda why we're getting some changes to make tech stuff more affordable soon (Finally something *good* happening to personal importing for once).

some nintendo network accounts have been compromised (people got access to the names and passwords). there's a list compromised accounts here (there are roughly 450 of them), however you might want to change your passwords if you used the same one for other important shit like your email (whoever had access to the passwords might have access to all of them) http://pastebin.com/3rJDwBqn

Allgamesdelta has a video of the Switch's touchscreen. The video is unlisted, shows a guy doing a quick demo (in a menu, not in game) at some convention, and considering Nintendo didn't mention it at all, I figure he wasn't supposed to do that, so I'm not posting a direct link to it. So touchscreen in handheld / laptop mode, no idea how it'll behave in TV mode, and probably not all games will make use of it. edit - well, BleedingCool has a full video. https://www.bleedingcool.com/2017/01/24/get-look-nintendo-switch-touchscreen-action/

honestly the only thing nintendo were missing with Wii u's online was party chat. Most if not all the functionality (aside from stuff like share play) you see in other consoles could be done on wii u it really was all up to the developers to implement it. I'm at least glad that it might only be about a $30 service which I agree is fairly reasonable.
Title: Re: The Nintendo News Thread

This. Compared to XBL and PSN's absolutely god awful service and expecting to pay for an entire game for the equivalent of a year, paying around 17-25 dollars a year is so damn reasonable even if it's the same level of service.
Title: Re: The Nintendo News Thread
Post by: walt on February 03, 2017, 06:35:13 pm
Not the same level of service, you get 1 NES game for 1 month, and only for that month. XBL you get a game, yours forever, current gen.

Not at all. That's how PSN works (at least how it used to be in PS3, dunnno about PS4), not XBL. You just connect your console to the internet for the game to boot, even if you're a "Silver" member
Title: Re: The Nintendo News Thread
Post by: Titiln on February 04, 2017, 12:55:17 am
even if you can only use the game while you have gold/psn, it beats the hell out of being able to play an nes/snes game for a month
Title: Re: The Nintendo News Thread
Post by: TTTTTsd on February 06, 2017, 01:32:24 am
The draw for me is the price. It's half the price (if not less than half) in the United States, but this makes more of a difference in CAD due to currency adjustments and the value of the Canadian dollar.
Long story short it's probably the only online subscription service I'll pay for considering it's not 70 dollars like PSN is up here for Canadians.
Title: Re: The Nintendo News Thread
Post by: Duos.act on February 06, 2017, 01:44:30 am
PSN Plus's game a month service is better IN THEORY, in reality they give you (at least in the US and EU) shovelware and indie games. Say what you want about Nintendo giving you NES games, at least most of the games in the NES library are pretty good/memorable.
Title: Re: The Nintendo News Thread
Post by: Darkflare on February 06, 2017, 02:23:35 am
Yea, but Nintendo's free games being basically one month demos doesn't sit as well when the competition lets you keep the free games as long as you're subscribed to their service. Sure, the majority of the free games are shovelware but when they do have that gem offered, you get to keep it.

Earlier this week, individuals claimed to prematurely purchase a small number of Nintendo Switch systems from an unspecified retailer. Nintendo has determined these units were stolen in an isolated incident by employees of a U.S. distributor, with one system being illegally resold. The individuals involved have been identified, terminated from their place of employment and are under investigation by local law enforcement authorities on criminal charges.
Nintendo Switch will launch worldwide on March 3, 2017, and we look forward to everyone being able to discover the wonders of the new system for themselves at that time.
The guy must be asking himself if that was worth it. But hey, Internet fame.

No issue whatsoever. I leave it in sleep mode rather than turn it off (I've restarted Zelda only once after inputting the DLC code in the eShop), and regularly switch between TV and handheld mode, but I don't leave my house with it (I might when my store gets the protective transport cases and screen protection and stuff), and I'm careful when sliding the support or the joycon wrist straps, but I'm rather shocked at how easy it is to fuck up the joycons with the straps by just getting the wrong one in the wrong way. Thankfully the joycons are replaceable - but scratching the screen like that, wow, anyone would be livid.

Wow, way to miss the entire point* of Nintendo coming up with unique console designs like the 3DS, Wii, Wii U, Switch. Also it's not like we don't know these sorts of things can happen, generally speaking. Sometimes a new piece of tech isn't quite good enough and does weird things, but that doesn't mean you should stop - those things can be fixed, most likely a system patch will come out. When your phones start actually exploding, that's the point where you should seriously question some of your stuff, but most of those reports are not unexpected for something that just came out a few days ago.

Honestly, the main reason I got this system on launch was due to being shafted with that "Ambassador" program that the 3DS had if you had gotten that on launch.
Never being able to play Metroid Fusion on the 3DS is still frustrating to this day. Yes, that's one game, and there were about 20 games or so total listed in that Ambassador thing, but something like that sticks with you. >:C

I bought one cause I like the concept, and I'm sure I'll grow to enjoy it. But I'm gonna be real here: they'll be lucky if it performs anything beyond marginally better than the Wii U.
It's yet another underpowered system that's main draw is aimed at a dwindling market. Barely anyone bought a Vita, and it's third party support will likely end up better. And it's not even "replacing" the 3DS, which took a few years to take off. There really isn't much reason to buy a Switch over anything else given the variables.

Sega ain't shit, and NO Nintendo should not do what they do and just make software, hell no! The console's is what makes Nintendo, you need them to play the games and everybody wants To play some new Mario kart or smash bros and guess what? Your gonna buy that console to Play they're games.
Ps4 and xboned had issues at launch, ps3 and x360 had issues at launch, shit x360 had issues Almost it's whole life span! But I bet everybody and they momma had one am I right? You got To be smart and wait a while before buying something new to give issues like this time to be Fixed.

The Switch is aiming at a more active market than you'd think tbh. It's performing pretty well atm (which is true of all things at launch) though it's doing nominally well I imagine due in part to Zelda, which always helps.
But let's be real, Nintendo as a console company was its only dwindling market, trying to deny this would be insane IMO. I don't think there's any realistic way they could compete with Sony or MS in consoles, and to be quite honest the only console that's doing that well right now is the PS4 and while it's a solid build I think it's mostly coasting on brand at this point. Consoles are dying in Japan like mad, the only console maker that is even performing vaguely as well as it was before in the US is Sony, and I'd be damned if I thought Nintendo making a powerhouse console would actually fix anything about that.
The Switch is their attempt to tap into the mobile, portable and console market rather than just one of any of those, it is in some ways a gamble but it also makes more sense especially if they are going to consider international sales (including those in their own country, Japan.) I also like how people think it won't replace the 3DS. Remember when the DS wasn't going to replace the GBA? Good times, good times. Over time this thing is going to be all they dev for, I speculate.
The Vita wasn't even half of what this thing is, and it also had a myriad of other gigantic issues (Memory cards lol) and Vita TV is only VAGUELY similar in function to what this thing is. You can be pessimistic about your feelings toward the console personally but let's not act like there isn't a market for the Switch. The WiiU aimed for a dwindling market.

I'd rather not have to buy shitty hardware to get the software I want. I'd rather Nintendo stop gatekeeping their games behind terrible systems that receive no third-party support.
Not gonna lie, man... I'm not sure if you meant to do this, but that looks like flame bait with no good discussion to come from it.
Oh, but thanks for reminding me that Blaster Master Zero just came out today!
That's fair, I was actually thinking of going back and editing in 'but there's no point in polluting the topic with this and I won't respond further' but then my day got really shitty and busy so I forgot all about the post until now.
titln: Sega is putting out about as many quality games I enjoy per year as Nintendo is, if we take the 3DS out of the equation. So, sure.

^^ I've always likened myself to being a pessimist, so that's fair. A better way to put it is, Nintendo has a niche and it'll do well within it. I'm just not seeing where it'll catch fire in a world where cheaper gaming outlets like smartphone/tablets exist. It'll certainly struggle to appeal as a console because lack of power, but that's due to the power arms race that's stifled innovation among the other hardware makers.
Anyway, MK8DX trailer

The last nintendo console I bought was like a decade ago, I dont care for mario kart or for smash bros, the only nintendo games I care about are Metroid and Pokemon, mostly metroid a new poke game would never make me buy a console, but a sweet ass metroid game if ts worth it ofc, imma pick one up when the switch is cheap cause it aint worth the money it is now. If nintendo pull a sega all people can enjoy these games also cause the switch is shit spec wise, the games will look great, quote me on this in a few years when emus catch up and have hi res texture packs and shit. The whole point of exclusives is dumb to me, but sony, microsoft and nintendo have to make money.
The only good thing I can say about the switch is that its not a shitty PC in a box like the xbox and ps4 on the otherhand though making the xbox and ps4 how they are porting is way cheaper. I dont like nintendo's shitty behaviour as well, towards youtubers and fan games so yeah.
As for Sega, yeah, I agree, the last good Sega game I played was the Sonic kart ones those were good, lets see how Sonic Mania is, cause I like how it looks.
The new zelda game does look sweet as hell though, I love bethesda's stuff, looks like it took lots from The elder scrolls, I even see some diablo in there, which is awesome.
I did not own a 360, I had a ps3, played it like for 15 hours to beat god of war 3, and that was about it for it, never played it since.
excluding the bow zelda, even 1st party for nintendo games was not that good, you guys kept buying the same games over the years, like the mario karts and smash and all that stuff. With different gimmicks and shit. besides mario galaxy the rest of em are you played one you played all of em. I dont care for mario as well , SMBX on PC is pretty much all the mario I need. Not to mention emu's and stuff. Go pay for a mario rom that nintendo downloaded themselves from the internet.
Also, I dont think the new major tripple A stuff will run on it, I cant see the thing running games like The Witcher 3, which defeats its purpose for me.

On topic, I must be one of the lucky ones. My Switch has been working flawlessly since launch day. Breath of the Wild does have some framerate drops in places, but I played Ocarina of Time at 20fps on the N64 and liked it, so no big deal. 1080p with 60fps is crisp and smooth to watch, but if I kept overlooking fun games because they didn't have it I'd be living a miserable life.

It goes through you not understanding how gaming companies work ("exclusives are dumb but I guess they have to make money !"), uneducated comments on completely random stuff (running Witcher 3), unrelated tangents (emulators) etc. it's a rant based on your personal tastes.
First, no. Second, looking at the title of the video - lol no that's fucking retarded. edit - oh, you changed the video. Still, no. You don't even say what it is, have you no sense of Netiquette.

I think it's amusing that people still suggest that Nintendo should go Third Party as if they would ever consider that. Nintendo has enough money in the bank that they can screw up for years and still be able to run it's business. Something absolutely catastrophic would have to happen in order for them to go under.
My only gripe about them is really how their systems are underpowered compared to PS and XBOX. Their thinking of innovation is a good one and should continue, but they should also focus on making their systems as powerful as the competition as well. I believe the only reason they're not is to keep costs low and be able to sell them lower. But I find that to be a short term gain in the long run. I also think this would help with their third party problem.
Title: Re: The Nintendo News Thread
Post by: PeXXeR on March 11, 2017, 09:32:30 am
It was a honest typo :) Its not about 1080p or 60 fps and stuff, I more look at the switch as a portable device, its just needed a bit more horse power under the hood. I hope I am wrong, but I cant see it run newer triple A stuff in an year or so. The reason I mentioned the Witcher 3 is cause its an insane game, If I had the option to take lets say, a 720p 30 fps witcher 3 on the go, I would jump on that asap.
Byakko, I put the wrong video link in it, thats why I switched it, jesus.. My points are fair, rather you like them or not. :)
Yes, exclusives are dumb, I'd rather have all gamers enjoy all of the games ragrdless of console choice.

The power argument is a dangerous proposition. I think Nintendo trying to get itself in that game is a losing proposition and they stopped for a good reason. I'd rather them keep their focus on innovation rather than pump out another mid-spec PC on the market. I think one of the things that's going to benefit the Switch in the long run is having so many interchangeable parts that they can tweak and upgrade (i.e., redesigned Joy-Con), even though the price point for accessories is still pretty horrendous.

Nintendo can give you like, fuck, 2 nes,snes,n64 games a month for the service you pay for. They have so much games they can give out to people that pay for the Nintendo + service or how the fuck its called. This will also alleviate part of the issue with the virtual console and stuff you own already there.

This isn't what you're supposed to buy the console for, those are just extras if you really really want them, it's not a selling point of the thing. You're not supposed to pay attention to it, it's just something they had to add because everyone is being stupid about it. Stop expecting everything to be exactly the same. This is why the consoles are different, this is why there are exclusives, this is why no you don't get the same thing regardless of the console you chose, not everything has to be a PC in a box that will be outdated in 6 months anyway. You're missing the entire point with every single nitpick you're bringing up.

Its all good people calm down. A friend of mine owns a wii u and BOW, I played it for like an hour, the game is good, damn good. The only thing that kinda pissed me off is that you constatnly switch weapons,dunno if you can repair them, did not play long enough to find out, but for what I played it was good.
Title: Re: The Nintendo News Thread
Post by: Byakko on March 12, 2017, 08:51:57 am
You can't repair weapons, no. Well, there's a group of specific weapons that you'll come across that you're told can be repaired (for a bit of a cost), but that's not very important - and then there's the Master Sword that regenerates over, what, 10, 20 minutes ? after it "runs low on energy". You go through a lot of weapons. It's also tough that your inventory space is so small, when you come across a few strong weapons (meteor rod, great thunderblade...), you can't store them. You can use the Korok seeds to increase your inventory one slot at a time after you find the right person for that, and there's a village where you can buy a house and build 3 display stands for weapons, bows, and shields, but that's almost nothing. No, that's just the point of the whole system - you keep going through a lot of weapons, you have to find them and you can run out in the middle of a big fight, you have to always be prepared.
Title: Re: The Nintendo News Thread
Post by: Koop on March 12, 2017, 02:42:28 pm
Even before the inventory expansion, I never ran out of weapons. It's best to use monster weapons against weak enemies. The Master Sword and the weapons you get from clearing the dungeons have great durability. It's just something new that you get used to.

I'm having that issue sort of, it'll target the enemy to the left or right of the one I'm looking at instead of the one I'm looking at. I have a bigger issues with the strafe jumping/side-stepping stuff. Sometimes Link just won't fucking dodge!
Honestly love the game, best thing Ive played in ages. Got it for the Wii U though, since the Switch doesn't seem worth it at all for the time being. I'll wait til the manufacturing issues and hardware defects are ironed out(or for the New Switch/Switch U) and if the game impresses beginning to end I'll probably buy a copy for the Switch in 2-3 years as well.

Glad Female Corrin is getting an Amiibo cause Male Corrin sucks though I'll still get his just to have all the Fire Emblem Amiibos probably only gonna get Solider Cloud and Bayo1 Bayonetta.

So I don't think I've ever ordered anything from overseas myself yet, but I would be interested in this. Prime 3 might be the weakest of the Prime trilogy, but it does have the best Varia Suit. But am I doing this conversion right (https://www.google.com/#safe=active&q=%C2%A57,222+to+us+dollar&spf=1252), and that statue is over 1 thousand dollars? Because I love Metroid and all, but Jesus Christ, I'd rather put the thousand to getting a new Metroid game of worth. I mean, I thought the gold cartoon Scorpion from MKX was overdoing it for me when I got it for around $200.
Title: Re: The Nintendo News Thread
Post by: Bastard Wolf on April 19, 2017, 06:14:07 am
7,222 JPY is approximately 66.52 USD (http://www.xe.com/es/currencyconverter/convert/?Amount=7222&From=JPY&To=USD) (and it would be cheaper if you get it from AmiAmi (http://www.amiami.com/) where it has a 19% discount which will put it at 6,280 JPY). Or you could just get it from BBBTS (http://www.bigbadtoystore.com/bbts/) when it pops there for around $75+ (which might be less or a bit more if you include the shipping fees from Japan to the US. I dunno, for me it's cheaper to get it straight from Japan)
If Figmas costed over $1,000 each I wouldn't have 40 (and might end up with 60 by the end of the year if everything goes as planned).
Pre-ordering mine right now!
//edit: fun fact: The original Other M Samus Figma (http://www.goodsmile.info/en/product/3444/figma+Samus+Aran.html) was 3,619 JPY in 2010 and Zero Suit Samus from the same game (http://www.goodsmile.info/en/product/5730/figma+Samus+Aran+Zero+Suit+ver.html) was 6,000 JPY in 2016. Welp, at least this new Samus seems like it's going to be the tallest one (original was 150mm, ZS was 135mm and this one will be 160mm)

I'm a little lost as to what the Rabbids are anymore. What do they even do that they bring to the table for a Mario game? As I recall, they were originally tied to Rayman, being his idiotic captors that managed to make off with him in his sleep and put him in a coliseum for their amusement in kiddie games. Not exactly good guys, but not bad guys either, Bowser territory at worst. But that was just the original game, right? UbiSoft changed the brand over time to just generic mini to micro-games, I don't think there even is a plot anymore, outside episodic nonsense?
Disregarding the less than favorable reception the Rabbids have to most people, I don't see what they can do for Mario what Wario doesn't already manage, and does better even.

Title: Re: The Nintendo News Thread
Post by: Byakko on May 10, 2017, 03:32:37 pm
They're already working on the dlc for the end of the year, this is definitely the "portable" (regardless of the support) Zelda of this generation - less serious, more fun gameplay, different team. It should specifically be very different from botw. I don't know if they'll drop the botw engine after the dlc, I hope not, but at the same time I don't expect them to recreate yet another world as big as that (because we all know that no one ever reuses the same world - models and animations are a different matter).

Title: Re: The Nintendo News Thread
Post by: Speedpreacher on May 13, 2017, 07:10:19 am
I think barring some sort of momentous shift in e3 or Nintendo leadership they're going to keep doing directs and streams that week for the foreseeable future. Miyamoto has probably had enough awkward stage demos to last a lifetime. And I can't say it's not working for them, so whatever. They'll probably have Mario playable at the event to keep that booth space though
Title: Re: The Nintendo News Thread
Post by: PlasmoidThunder on May 13, 2017, 12:29:53 pm
I sure hope that isn't going to be their game plan every year; have their big ace in the hole title as the main focus (BotW) and then sprinkle a couple of smaller things around the side, typically stuff we already know about (Pokémon Sun/Moon) and stuff that we won't know anything about until a year later (Ever Oasis).

Well, Mario had only 4 stages free and you had to pay to unlock the rest, that's pretty terrible. FEHeroes is having a lot more success, but that's because it's working on a gacha. There's also an Animal Crossing that apparently was already officially planned, both that and Zelda would be released in the latter half of the year supposedly. Since they're probably not doing a gacha on Zelda (even if Link weren't the only playable character), I'm really hoping they won't go the Mario route considering they seemed proud that more people were buying the whole thing. Oh well, that said, I'd definitely buy it like a regular Zelda game if they did go the Mario way.
Title: Re: The Nintendo News Thread
Post by: JustNoPoint on May 15, 2017, 10:19:10 pm
I didn't see the issue for the Mario game. I thought $10 was not bad for all it gave. It's also the only phone game I've played for more than a week. I still enjoy it. I'd definitely hope Zelda is similar and not some grind fest like most mobile games.
Title: Re: The Nintendo News Thread
Post by: Byakko on May 15, 2017, 10:34:56 pm
It was pretty contrary to what mobile games are, especially a typical runner game. It's like they just made a game for a home console and ported that to smartphones and gave it a price tag more appropriate to the platform. It's a shame because they put some effort in it into stuff around the running part - the village building and all, that would be great in a mobile game. Like I said, if they did that with Zelda, it wouldn't be a smartphone game in the Zelda franchise, it would be a console Zelda game that happens to be on smartphones (and I'd still buy that in an instant). It just makes you wonder what's the whole point of going into smartphones beside established customer base. But hey, it was their first phone game, they weren't used to what business model they should use yet. FEHeroes should have given them a more solid idea, we'll see how that evolves with Animal Crossing which should be much easier to adapt to the genre.

A bummer, but not really a surprise, tbh. Anyway, now that this is official, here's my predictions for the characters on the Shadow Dragon side (based on my previous expieriences with Musou games):
Spoiler, click to toggle visibilty
*Marth *Caeda/Shiida *Ogma *Kain or Abel or Jagen *Gordin *Merric or Linde (probably Linde, though, considering this is Musou we're talking about) *Tiki *Palla *Minerva *Navarre *Gharnef (you had to kill him in order to get the Falchion, the titular Blade of Light required to slay the titular Shadow Dragon) *Medeus (the titular Shadow Dragon)
I'm really only expecting one cavalier on the Shadow Dragon side, because I'm 100% the Awakening side and the Fates side will have cavaliers as well (especially Fates, because that game has Xander as the face of Nohr), and they probably want to avoid too many cavaliers to keep the roster varied in terms of playstyles. Also, knowing Musou, I'm totally expecting most of the waifus of those 3 games to be playable, though that one is pretty much a no-brainer. I'm also expecting both heroes and villians to be playable, because previous Musou games did that as well (especially Musou spin-offs like Hyrule Warriors or Ken's Rage).

If this is going to be anything like Hyrule Warriors, expect a solid amount to show up as DLC later. Remember that only focused on Skyward Sword, Ocarina of Time and Twilight Princess initially and look what happened there. At least two more games ended up showing up

You mean the most popular sextoys of the franchise ? Yeah, how much would you bet
Does the bit about cavaliers and pegasus knights mean the characters will actually be riding on those on the map ? Musou has horses as an option but it's mostly on-foot combat, a bunch of pegasus knights permanently on the field might be a mess IMO. Unless they're just one part of the moveset and they regularly get off.

yeah, they're the games most people recognize, it'd be crazy if they weren't featured heavily
if it wasn't for awakening (and fates to some extent) this game probably wouldn't have happened
In one of the prototypes seen earlier in development, one source recalled a hulky Donkey Kong themed rabbid serving as one of the first boss encounters. The rabbid has access to a pile of bananas that it can use to replenish its health. Players are required to first cut off his food supply to prevent him from recovering before they can do some real damage. The DK rabbid apparently will dab periodically if it lands an attack correctly (a possible reference to DK’s dab from Mario Kart 8). Once the boss is defeated, one member of the player’s party, a rabbid cosplaying as Princess Peach, takes out a smart phone and nabs a selfie with the DK Rabbid as it collapses.
Well fuck this game then. The constant ass-kissing of these three games is beyond sickening now. I can't stand it anymore.
6 of the FE games didn't even have worldwide releases. Then the next 6 could just be played on emulators instead of being bought. The crossover game was made in a way that nobody would enjoy it.
If not for smash bros Awakening this game wouldn't even exist
Title: Re: The Nintendo News Thread
Post by: Mgbenz on May 30, 2017, 08:10:06 pm
Of course I know all of that. That's why I hate this in the first place. It's not a good reason to completely ignore the rest of the games in the series. If there's one thing I hate when it comes to crossovers it's when they pander exclusively. It's the same reason why I started to lose interest in Tales crossover games. You just know it'll have the exact same roster of mostly Abyss, Symphonia and Vesperia characters every single time. It makes these game's rosters stale and predictable.
Also as an Elibe & Tellius fan it's annoying that those games are constantly being ignored beyond their main characters. They might be DLC in the future but having to buy a game with characters I'm mostly not interested in and then paying extra for characters that I actually want will be a kick in the nuts.

This. I honestly have no idea why people are still crying about how much "Awakening and Fates are overused" considering that Fire Emblem as a FRANCHISE was going to be scrapped forever if it wasn't for the sales of those 2 games.
And as mentioned in this thread, Hyrule Warriors had most of it's characters in Twilight Princess/Ocarina of Time and Skyward Sword and it was until Legends and the DLC did we get Wind Waker love and Majora's Mask.

More info from the same source.
Quote
Marth is voiced by Hikaru Midorikawa. Chrom is voiced by Tomokazu Sugita.
There are two more original characters: Darios (voiced by Takuya Satou) and Yuana (voiced by Yuka Nagayoshi).
Development is currently 70 percent complete.
The project was in planning before Famitsu’s collaboration Musou title survey.
The first thing that was decided was “to do a Musou game that Fire Emblem fans would enjoy.”
The weapon triangle, high strategy elements, and classes that are mainstay in the Fire Emblem series are in.
The reason all the protagonists from the Fire Emblem games are not being included is because if they did that, everyone would be using a sword.
You can switch characters while playing, so you’ll be able to control various weapons and classes of characters.
The number of playable characters is more than the first entry of any other Musou series collaboration.
Archers and magic users will be playable.
While Koei Tecmo can’t share details on the world yet, there is a “Shield of Fire” in this world that has tuned up from beyond space and time.
Units that ride a horse, such as the Cavalier, always fight on horse. They’re designed to have high mobility.
“Bond Conversations” are being prepared as support conversations. There is a huge amount of text, including serious conversations and goofy conversations.

The headset is available in-game in Splatoon 2, so there's definitely some cooperation going on with Nintendo.

Having to pay for online is stupid as fuck. I can't think of a way to justify this at all and now the last console company without an online "service" subscription is going to be gone soon.
At least it's $20 a year and being able to access several classic NES games at any time as long as you're up to date sounds infinitely better than the laughable "Gain access to ONE NES game per month only during the month the game is added to the service". PS+ costs around twice as much but at least they give you access to more up to date games for free in return.

Hey, Microsoft and Sony got away with it. Why not Nintendo? Only problem is that Nintendo's online services have been somewhat iffy, but if they fix this up and get a solid online service going they might have something here. Maybe even enough to force Microsoft and Sony to lower their prices to remain competitive with that bargain price.
Ok, that last one is not happening but a man can dream.

To be honest I consider the $20 a year to be paying for the NES/whatever other offered games more than the online even though the online comes with the bundle. It's basically Netflix but with retro games, and the added ability to play 2 Player online (from how it sounds) is pretty rad too. I can't really diss the value of what you're getting, especially when compared to the competition.

I agree with Killer Kong but I share similar sentiments with others.
While I hate the fact Nintendo is going to pay for their online services, 20$ a year is definitely far better than paying 60$ a year, especially for how crappy PSN+ and Xbox Live can and has been at times.
If Nintendo can atleast do a serviceable online and actually offer some decent games for rental, I can easily see people praising Nintendo for atleast making an online service that isn't so damn pricey.

I jumped. I literally jumped at the announcement for Metroid Prime 4. I was itching with excitement when Beyond Good & Evil's logo came up with its trailer, but this? As soon as the title screen static started, I lost it there for a second.
And to have beyond that, a new 2D entry? Well, 2.5D. And a little annoyingly ironic with AM2R taking the fall for this apparently, when I have to admit, the fan game looked prettier. And the bashing for a counter mechanic is kind of whatever. But god damn, I'm so happy right this moment.
So I missed the direct, and didn't have opportunity to watch until I got home now. I stayed spoiler free and just got the direct up and sped through it. Lost a little hope at how uninspired Xenoblades 2 looked when it started the stream, but luckily they had plenty to show that was of interest. And I liked their professional manner of just moving on through. Like Xbox was doing, but stretched too long. Beyond frothing at the mouth for Metroid, I'm already looking forward to more on Kirby and Yoshi, and while I'm not particularly hyped by Mario Odyssey's gimmick with the hat possession, it's Mario, it's going to be good regardless.

The inclusion of FF6 and Super Mario RPG made me wonder. I remember hearing that the European Virtual Console has the PAL versions, which means that they run at 50hz. I assumed that that's how it works for the NES Classic as well. But some games included with it weren't released in Europe originally. Can someone who bought the NES Classic in Europe tell me whether the games run at 50hz or 60hz? If they run at 60hz, then the NTSC only games included with this one will most likely run at 60hz as well.

Never got the chance to play it because I didn't own a WiiU (or any non-handheld Nintendo console for the last two decades or so) and the friend whose console I borrowed to play Bayo 2 didn't own it.
Heard there's a Bayo 1 & 2 tease out there as well.

Random Fire Emblem Warriors gameplay
Mix of US and Japanese dubbing, if that's an actual option to pick per unit, that's pretty cool. Although it's odd, Xander introduces himself in Japanese but then chats in English ? Is that just not final, or maybe it doesn't affect the chats in battle and only cinematic scenes because switching languages too often in the heat of battle would be too confusing ? It would also save them the trouble of storing every single line of dialog in both languages.
With Fire Emblem's heavy emphasize on the player being the strategist, and seeing how they keep mentioning "I've received a report" when something changes (like a thief calling for reinforcements), I'm hoping that various side missions (stop reinforcements before they come, protect an allied fort in danger...) have a system that affects how you're seen as a strategist, and it's really the player as the strategist deciding how to react to the reports. Like it learns to tell if you're ruthless, reckless in charging a fort with too much protection, cautious in securing all your forts before picking off enemy positions on by one, effective in switching to an appropriate unit for a mission that's far away from your current position... I'm not too hopeful on something as detailed as that, but it would be a good fit for the usual flow of battle in Warriors games and the recurring themes of Fire Emblem.

As Nintendo points out in the app's official FAQ, voice chat cannot run in the background while using your phone for other purposes such as "texts, social media, etc.":
Nintendo said:
The voice chat will disconnect while you're talking on the phone or using another application, but your voice chat will restart in the same room once you open the Nintendo Switch Online application again as long as the game session is still ongoing.
What's more, early testing confirms that the app won't work if your phone goes into power-saving "sleep mode," with the screen inactive. And don't bother trying to use the app to chat with your Switch friends while away from the system, either: you can only join chat rooms with people when you're actively playing a specific, supported game with them.
Nintendo, please.
I love you, but please.
For the love of god, what the fuck are you doing?

Aren't pre-orders already dead for the SNES or is it just Walmart ? It seems pretty easy to assume they're not going to do anything different. (and if it does change for the SNES, then there's no more reason to expect the worse for the mini N64)

Yeah, I assume it'll be the same. Being out of Pre Orders isn't exactly telling though. That happens with all Nintendo systems. The Switch had the same thing happen.

The creator of the game was surprised to see it included, so they probably had the final version all along sitting in a memory stick on a shelf and the previous leaks were simply versions before that. It's not very likely that someone just left with the full version, kept it all this time, and then got hunted don for this release.

http://www.siliconera.com/2017/08/23/fire-emblem-warriors-new-gameplay-footage-features-camilla-takumi-hinoka/ Gameplay for the new characters fucking hell, the English voices are horrible. I wish they'll leave a Japanese option but I'm not betting on it. Also the translation is visibly dumb when Corrin says "that's because I will not lose" out of nowhere, making it pretty clear that the Japanese sentence is a "makenai n'dakara" that was translated too literally when it should rather be taken in a "I'm telling you / like I said" way.
Camilla looks fun, with her dragon stomping and bouncing around while she smashes her axe on the ground repeatedly. Still, the mounts basically look like they're one block with the rider, the torso fused with the mount and unmoving, essentially acting as the rider's legs. It looks weird, and it's also noticeable on horse riders because it's common knowledge that the rider usually bounces on the horse at an inverted rhythm rather than sticking to its up and down motion like glue. That and I can only see Camilla with those THICC hindquarters, it's almost hilarious.

Fire Emblem Warriors quick round-up Lyn, plus a bit of system stuff like planning a strategy (target, action) for each of your units before starting the fight, apparently.
(the new version of the main "ride together" theme is super low key, kinda disappointing for a Musou game) Basically the same but with different moves showcased (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A6XmpZsfo98). Sum up of units in each faction - Ylisse (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G6p7iR5fWds), Nohr (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AFh8iQ_NKPs), Hoshido (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5DfSzFQD6xQ) More system stuf (http://gematsu.com/2017/09/fire-emblem-warriors-details-corrin-male-sakura-elise-reinforcement-systems), like emblems (strengthening skill tree) and weapon forging, and a nostalgia mode recounting previous games on special maps.

I'd make jokes about Fire Emblem Warriors making a very unexpected reveal in Tiki and Caeda, as well as Caeda somehow using a spear even though she uses a sword in Heroes (I know, she uses a spear in the original game), but that trailer is boring and takes my hype out. They look okay, though.
There's also some gameplay in Japanese of them but like last time, the quality is terrible. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GGvDVwZTOZ0 Caeda is holding her spear near the bottom, it feels like an actual jousting lance (and it allows her to make it spin with a wider range), that's a nice touch for a style. Tiki's style is so messy, haha.

I mean if most people didn't use Twitch already within this program they will now.
Youtube streaming is awful because it's susceptible to things like this going on so I hope this catches on. It's also bad because it's a terrible streaming service (if you ever have encoding issues on it it almost NEVER recovers the feed in anything less than half a minute, it's really bad.)
This would be ticking a lot more people off if they did this with Twitch probably, but since most people know YT streaming is just kinda there.....

Fucking hell, I've been on it last night and tonight, and this game is tough. The Nohr chapters are just hard because you're probably underleveled at that point (as in sudden jump in difficulty for units you didn't get to use during the Hoshido chapters), but I'm at the Ryoma/Xander battle and its all over the place in how it forces you to send your various units after the right target at the right time, all the time. AND the enemies are still several levels above you. The strategizing is so tight. And it's not even that far into the game, it's like the third segment of the story ! I guess overleveling everyone would greatly simplify things, but shit, the gold cost is steep. Plus you're always stuck with the shitty units like Elise and Lyssa that you don't want to level while Chrom and Fred are off doing other stuff.
(edit - they didn't pull the same joke as back when "normal - hard - lunatic" was translated as "easy - normal - hard", did they... ??? because I'm playing on normal)

Getting a bit further in the game, I'm getting more used to pause and check for weapon affinities and where everyone is at to send the proper units to the right place and switch who you're currently controlling on the fly (because CPU controlled units can only do shit when they have the advantage). It's a bit weird that you have to keep interrupting a Warriors game, but you get used to it and it's pretty satisfying when you see how you can handle a massive fuckfest with swarms of enemies popping up left and right. It's just that it takes a lot of time per fight, but the maps aren't quite as big as the later Dynasty / Samurai Warriors games, so it's not that bad. I can manage hard mode if I'm fully on it, but clearly normal mode is more manageable. Fred's strong attacks are fucking brutal ("grabbing" an enemy with his axe and dragging him along the ground while spinning at high speed and hurling him away like a wet towel holy shit) Oh, and Niles is such a fucking perv ((Robin) "we need a feint then a full assault" *Niles raises hand* "I volunteer to strike from the rear !" *grin* (Leo) "Shut up Niles !").

I just got the game too and I have to say, gameplay wise it's everything I wanted out of the original HW (the AI at least actually works in this one!) I don't have a ton of experience with other warriors games aside from HW but at the very least it's definitely a step up from that one especially performance wise, HW had horrible slow down in story mode.

Super Mario Maker got an update 1.47 that removed the Comment button regarding Miiverse.
Also, it broke a lot of speed run levels because they fixed the Phantom Jump, which was global.
Spoiler, click to toggle visibilty
- What was the Phantom Jump? In NSMBU, You do a triple jump, then during the falling down of your third jump, quickly turn around, and face forward again (left, then right), and you go into your 2nd jump immediately. This is no longer possible.
- They fixed the springs falling in lava. - Originally, if you landed on a spring sinking in the lava, it acted like a regular platform. Now it acts like a regular spring as it normally does out of lava. - Thwomps and munchers now die if they get crushed by coins that turn into blocks during P Switch timer. - SMW beach koopa can now be jumped on immediately after coming out of its shell. - Beach koopa freeze bug has been fixed.

Breath of the Wild DLC is out it's yet another one of those dumb "die in one hit" challenges. Buddy, if you're trying to force me to be patient and put down the controller, I'm not fucking picking it back up. It's not actually fun to try the same thing over and over again and die with the stupidest misstep. edit - well, actually, that's just the start... wait, I was thinking I hate these challenge's habit of negating everything we've accomplished so far by sending us back to square one, but did they want to give us some basic challenge that didn't require heavy equipment just to ease us back into the gameplay because they know we haven't played it for so long ? This better be worth it. Fucking hell, trials unlocking trials unlocking riddles and trials. This is just vicious. edit - so that's a challenge that unlocks trials that unlock riddles that unlock challenges that unlock trials that I'm told unlock more challenges. And this is just the beginning. Are you fucking serious right now.

The last area is actually the best dungeon and also has best boss in the game.

Here’s The New Versus Mode Trailer For Mario + Rabbids Kingdom Battle.
And people have beaten the DLC already?! You guys are fast!
It's not really difficult. I haven't done the final extra boss yet because I got bored and didn't spend much time on it, but it's just 12 short quests (including a couple "field boss" fights), 12 short shrines, the same 4 different versions of Ganon (I stopped at 3, all that's left for me is the Waterblight Ganon but I already did the shrines), and apparently there's only one more new boss waiting after that. It goes pretty fast. The new outfits are more fun to find than the challenge itself (also Phantom Ganon outfit hell yeah). The one nice things about some of those challenges is that they seem to have been hidden in spots that not a lot of people must have explored yet. They basically just threw more puzzles at the game with this DLC (and barely one new boss that I haven't seen yet), but the exploration and the little details are really the most important part of this game after all. The best thing about the way they set the whole game up is that since the shrines literally pop out of the ground anywhere they want, they can throw some wherever they want you to explore. It's too bad that what they took from that is "let's just throw more puzzles and call it a DLC". edit - well, I just went and did Waterblight. That was quick. You an probably do the whole thing in one night.

Agreed. DKC TF was not my cup of tea, but it's nice and about time that they added Funky Kong as a playable Kong. But let's not get all too hype about it, they probably would add a new character or a new level. If they can do it in 4 months.

I'm quite happy with Hyrule Warriors definitive edition on Switch. It's almost nothing, but it's about damn time. Although I resumed playing Fire Emblem Warriors a bit more since the DLC release, and there's a few little things that were a notable step up.
Spoiler: bit of a rant(click to see content)
(mandatory venting rant first) Freaking clones. Clone flying spears, clone horse mages, clone infantry mages, and with the DLC, Niles is still a clone of all other bows, which means Owain will really be a Ryoma clone when he comes out, and even in the very unlikely chance that Linde and Tharja aren't clones of Robin, you already know they'll be clones of each other. I don't even want to know who Olivia will be a clone of, because of course she'll have a sword. Azura is nice, but Oboro looks really basic and bland with really random boring moves. But she's a rare infantry spear. I just don't understand what happened with the movelist designs. Fred has insane moves, Lyn has great cool moves, Ryoma really feels like a heavy hitter, Corrin is... quite unique (but weird), then Camilla, Xander, Takumi Marth/Celica, and Chrom/Lucina (clones...) are okay although a bit generic and random, and then everything else just drops like a brick. It's not like they can't copy some moves from older Warriors games, we certainly wouldn't be mad at them, but they just didn't bother. It's nice that they used existing spells (at least in name) for the mages, though, but that's weighted down by the clones problem. No weapon change, even limited, is a big miss. Even if fan favorite Ike ever made it in, he'd be yet another sword with no chance for an infantry axe unit, Caeda can't get a sword like she did in Heroes to break out of the flying spears clone model... I don't know, with the clone move lists, it just feels like they started well but suddenly stopped doing good things because they ran out of time. Hyrule Warriors had a lot more variety in the characters.
(good things now) I realized a few nice things on the weapon systems and skills, and I think that's a major improvement for the life expectancy of those warriors games, especially those crossovers with a special franchise (other than the main Dynasty/Samurai games). Each character has a special skill (Luna for Chrom, armored blow for Tiki, counter for Oboro...), and when you unlock it for them (with a fairly low material cost), it becomes available for everyone... for the cost of a material that you get when anyone reaches A rank support with that character. So you get one of it for everyone, enough to unlock that personal skill for everyone. It's really grindy because getting an A rank support isn't something you naturally do in a regular playthrough, but it's possible to set up a good grind method, especially in History mode. The first time I played the game, I tended to send my low level units in low levels stages to slowly bring everyone to a decent level. But that made grinding really tedious and slow. What I do now is send my lv82 Ryoma (or similar) to wreck shit up in a lv40 stage, but I put a lv30 unit as a vanguard with him, so they level up a lot faster and more easily, and the support rank increases much faster. Plus, the personal weapons need to grind 10,000 kills to unlock their "true power" after you obtained the corresponding seal (killing 2k enemies per stage with one character is easy with this kind of level difference), so that's like three birds in one stone - weak units level up, weapon's "true power" unlocked, and support rank increase for the personal skills. With a system like that, grinding isn't so bad when you have a whole bunch of low level units that you need to bring up to speed. Now if only some characters were able to use more than one weapon type, it'd be perfect... History mode's restrictions are tough (bows only, spears only...), but with a decent grinding setup, it actually feels like you can get there someday, you don't just go "yeah I'm not wasting several months to bring 4 clone bows all to lv65 just for that one gold material".
Hyrule Warriors was a long time ago but I remember the forge was really boring, and the seals were really tedious to get for everyone. The Fire Emblem forge is almost the same, but now that the grinding is a little bit easier, it's almost bearable, and the personal skills push forward the vanguard system, which is nice. I'm not sure I want to go back to the Hyrule Warriors version that has nothing going for it. HW's story mode was a lot better than FEW's, and the 8-bit maps... were a bit too repetitive with the missions, FEW's history mode is a bit more specific and it works well enough with the grinding method.

This looks so incredibly imaginative, yet so likely to fail miserably. It's the quintessential Nintendo product.
I imagine Nintendo chose cardboard so it's easy to burn once this line of products flop and they're left with a gazillion warehouses of unsold product. That or this is a misguided attempt the same product multiple times once the cardboard runs its course.

I can't imagine this is going to go over well at all. I mean, it's cardboard for fuck's sake. Even if you avoid accidentally tearing something crucial when you're putting it together, you've got maybe 4 months at best before the thing just starts to deteriorate of it's own accord.

Looks like you can cross off all your "Labo is literally garbage" jokes now. (https://www.destructoid.com/the-german-game-ratings-board-s-cleaning-crew-almost-threw-nintendo-labo-in-the-garbage-483424.phtml)

This story from the German ratings board (USK) is chuckle-worthy -- according to a tweet from the board, their cleaning crew almost threw out the sample Nintendo had sent. Translated, the tweet states, "Finally we can tell the story, when we had the latest Nintendo hardware, it was almost dumped by the cleaning crew as waste paper. In the past no one would have believed this story, anyway."

I'm so happy I bought this and Xenoblade Chronicles 2 when I got the Switch a few days ago.
The game is pretty good(despite more clone movesets) and it's alot of fun as it reminds me more of Samurai/Hyrule Warriors than a slightly better Hyrule Warriors.

the big thing that makes things way more fun is the tactical elements. executing the perfect strategy mixed in with button mashing feels so right and when things get tough it really does feel tense with the permadeath system (i don't go to home when a character dies)

Well I'm avoiding the permadeath system because I'm a noob and I'm not a fan of that system in general(though I love the fact that they catered to FE fans with that mechanic too.), I do like the tactical elements as well and blending in the triangle system too.
Title: Re: The Nintendo News Thread
Post by: Byakko on February 08, 2018, 02:01:53 am
I don't like the permadeath system so I turned it off, but regardless I manage to not get any loss most of the time, and I try again if I get a death. I only really got in big trouble maybe a couple of times. I fought Navarre long enough to really see his moves but I'm fully expecting him to be a Lyn clone with his double sword, and Minerva to be a Camilla clone. Linde looks nice though (considering all I know of her is her FEHeroes portrait). Lyn's costume is looking good too.

I dont think navarre will be a lyn clone. The NPC version of Niles has a completely different moveset and animations from the DLC Niles when I saw both on the field at the same time so it's most likely their movesets were just placeholders.
Title: Re: The Nintendo News Thread
Post by: TrinitroRoy on February 09, 2018, 12:14:42 pm
Yeah, but even the DLC version of Niles is still a clone of all the other Archer characters, if I remember correctly. So why would Minerva or Navarre be different?
Title: Re: The Nintendo News Thread
Post by: Byakko on February 09, 2018, 12:19:45 pm

Well. Besides the confirmed Mario Tennis Aces showcase, at the very least I would hope for news on the new Yoshi title. Any further hopes beyond that go to the unlikely event of giving more concrete details on Metroid Prime 4, Pokémon Switch and/or whatever deep dark secret project Retro's been cooking for what, 4 years now?
What I expect is news on ports to cover the gaps in the year between big news and releases. Likely Fallout 4, what with Skyrim and Doom doing better than expected. There have been rumors circulating about the Crash Bandicoot remaster (And for further reaching the not yet announced Spyro remaster) getting ported, which I doubt but would really find to be awesome news if true.

Well. There's Super Smash Bros. Inklings confirmed. Balance is restored to the universe.
Man, they gave just little enough to entice debate if this is a port or not. That's clearly Breath of the Wild Link. It's less telling if that's Odyssey Mario. Samus back there is too blurry to tell if she's now the Samus Returns version. The rest are just there.
Not much else to go off of for the time being, just happy it's happening. I suppose we know that Inklings will be based on their basic Splattershot and Splat Bomb. Chances are their various B button attacks will involve other weapons, but mainly they're probably going be just shooting like Mega Man, is my guess.
Beyond Smash, wow, nothing on Yoshi. This felt like the perfect time to bring that back. Ah well. All this Splatoon love is great. The new Splatoon 2 single-player expansion is precisely what I wanted. Octoling story, more lore. I'm surprised the Crash port turned out to be real, that's awesome. And....come on, a Solaire Dark Souls amiibo? Stop tempting me, Nintendo.

So since we know BotW Link is in this game, time to speculate. Would it be worth losing the older Twilight Princess Link for this one? I feel if it's just a skin, it would not do the character justice, especially as the new outfit's not exactly iconic, you try to lose it ASAP in the game for better gear. Plus previous Link equipment doesn't carry over to the new Link at all.
I'd rather they make him a new character with a new movepool. Name him Link, rename the old one we've had thus far to something else (Hero of Time could work, maybe, since BotW is the only time in-game they mention him being canonically called Link? Though then you have all the manga and other sources that state otherwise, of course). Then you can really apply BotW's new mechanics into Smash, with the breakable limited time weapons a la Robin in Smash 4 and all the little tricks that tablet can do like blocks of ice and time stopping.
Another issue arises with BotW Link becoming the default one though; what do we do with Ganondorf? He does not have a human form in BotW. We've been stuck with TP Link just so Ganon had a matching counter-part, but now what? I would greatly enjoy a what-if new design for human Ganon like we got with Sheik getting a Twilight Princess design, but that may be asking for too much.

I know this is a stretch, but seeing that the Smash logo doesn't look similar to the 3DS and Wii U ones, I don't think it's a straight-up port.
Other than that, though, is it bad that most of the things that I wanted to get were ports/collections/remakes? I'm just glad to see a new WarioWare game in some capacity.

Just dropping my reactions here in one big post as I'm watching:
- Everything they announced for 3DS sounds great. Wario Ware Gold and a Luigi's Mansion remake? I'm sold.
- Motherfucking Solaire of Astora amiibo. itprintsmoney.gif
- No More Heroes 3 looks rad as hell. I'm super fucking excited for more Travis Touchdown.
- Okami HD with touchpad controls for painting might actually be the definitive version of that game if it runs well enough.
- All the Switch ports of Wii U games nobody bought because nobody bought a Wii U are pretty expected. Little Nightmares is a nice surprise though, and it's good to see that Undertale still has momentum after all this time.
- In all likelihood Smash is going to be yet another enhanced Wii U port, but if I'm being honest adding Inklings to the roster is probably enough to convince me to buy the game again.
Pretty great Direct altogether. There's a lot of stuff there I'm really excited about.

Honestly, I get the feeling that Sakurai wants to take a rest, but he doesn't want anyone else leading.
I'm guessing that the new Smash will be using the engine and assets from Smash 4, but won't quite be just an extend version. This is probably to perfect chance for moveset changes and kit redesigns.

Title: Re: The Nintendo News Thread
Post by: Byakko on March 19, 2018, 01:42:50 pm
It's a thing. Characters can have the same moveset, sometimes a moveset for a specific weapon is given to a different character in the following game. But that's mostly because the series has an insane number of characters in total, weapons get made up and passed around when some characters don't return. But for a single type of weapon (spear, magic etc.) There's still a lot of different movesets, and for a given game they try to avoid repeating styles unless it's a game with 150 characters. I like how they used specific spells tied to the story or game (Thoron's lightning being part of Chrom and Lucina's Falchion, Linde's Thoron and Bolganone), but having all the pegasi and infantry mages (except Linde) share the same moves is just bad.

Post by: Byakko on March 19, 2018, 04:29:47 pm
Nope. One moveset for both mounted mages, another moveset for Linde, and one more moveset for all infantry mages (Validar and Gharnef have the same moves too, I can't remember what Iago does but I assume it's the same). That's three sets for 8 mages. Then 3 identical pegasus spears, and all the archers.

Well, until recently, Dynasty Warriors was trying to keep clones to a minimum. However in Dynasty Warriors 9.... They decided to go all out with repeat weapons.
So, I think this game kind of just kept up the trend that DW9 set up.

Strategist mode, hah, fun ! Not so fun on the insane maps where you get overwhelmed from all sides and you need everyone to pull their weight.
ehhhh the only maps that have those issues are the ones with the clones popping up and shadow rush, which gets easy once you order the right people to take out the mages, sages, rally captains and then the shadows afterwards. pair about 2 npc's to the commander and 2 npc's to the home base, with the 4 playable characters all having the abillity to heal others as well helps a ton. its all up to you taking advantage of the triangle system to make it easier.
im curious to see how strategist mode affects the chaos dragon battles though since the ai does jack shit to him
Title: Re: The Nintendo News Thread
Post by: Byakko on March 22, 2018, 09:56:08 pm
In History Mode when that pincer map has lv 60+ enemies, depending on the restriction if I barely have some lv80 units on my side, it's still really crazy to get to S rank. The sages and priests are usually mages who don't have innate triangle weakness so you need to have some tomebreaker on your weapons, and I almost never use that (I only needed one really bad in one stage in the spirit tree map with a single bow unit against dragonstones and mages, Takumi has shit res so I had to overclock my Niles) I'm digging the new personal weapons (finally Frederick Robin and Cordelia), Owain's sword looks nice.
but atleast hyrule warriors came out today in japan so that's fun
BotW Zelda looks fantastic (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jr3wVVYi6k0). Regular Zelda's dress hid those leg movements, right ? Shame. Glad they're really adding new characters too (Toon Zelda spirit form, Ravio, Yuga), but the news articles I see about the various trailers that have come out seem to barely notice that they're new, somehow.

Characters trailers for the last Fire Emblem Warriors DLC https://gematsu.com/2018/03/fire-emblem-warriors-dlc-pack-3-fire-emblem-awakening-character-trailers Owain looks rather ridiculous with Ryoma's exact moves (also they really went full ham chuunibyou on him) but heyyyyy Olivia actually has completely new moves ! Must be Christmas. Oh and somehow they bothered to change the FX of (some of ?) Tharja's X moves from Robin. Better than the flying spears. edit - yessss Tharja's and Olivia's personal skills are Vengeance and Galeforce. Vengeance is super risky if it drains too fast because you'll be lucky if you end a big battle in less than 15 minutes, but Galeforce looks like a killer skill. Resonating Power seems pretty useless because a lot of characters have either big Str or Mag but not both because it's completely useless, isn't it ? Is there any benefit in having high Mag for a physical hitter or Str for a mage ?

Looking at Olivia gameplay on Youtube, she's seems stupid as hell... and I mean that in a good way.
Of course, I still need to power through the game and story mode so I can actually power them up moreso but it's obvious she's the winner of the DLC.

I've tried Fire Emblem Warriors at Nintendo World this past Friday and this game has pushed me to get a Switch ASAP. This'll definitely be the first game I'll get and they already have DLC planned!? I'm completely sold.
Btw... Chrom is fun as hell to play as and I like Robin's attacks. I need to get more used to Frederick and Lissa. I usually do the Y+Y+X combo with all warriors since I've had heavy experience with Hyrule Warriors. I've gotta get this game soon as I get a Switch of my own.

All the DLC already came out, the third and last pack just this month. I haven't heard about any future plan (then again it may be too soon since they only just finished the first wave). Frederick is an absolute beast, his attacks are insane. Just give him Astra and Trample ASAP. And then Ryoma is pretty much number one. Chrom is cool but his range is just a little bit off.
Title: Re: The Nintendo News Thread
Post by: DarkWolf13 on April 01, 2018, 11:58:38 pm
I have to agree about Chrom. His attacks does require him to be close to his enemies but Frederick I just need more time to get used to and to time his dash attack just right. I should've used him to fight Validar in Ch. 2 instead of Chrom.

Post by: Byakko on April 02, 2018, 12:18:23 am
Yeah, all mounted units have that problem, horse and flying units. It's a bit hard to stay close to a specific enemy because you'll suddenly dart in the wrong direction in the middle of a combo and completely drop the one guy you want to kill, getting 20 meters away in one step, and then you have to circle around and position yourself just right for your next combo to hit correctly. But Camilla and Frederick just go nuts against hordes of foot soldiers.

Spoiler: Thoron's Scroll map rant(click to see content)
ugh, finally finished the map for Thoron's Scroll. The map is lv88 archers only, but to finish it in under 15 minutes and get S rank for the scroll, I had Takumi and Niles around 102, Sakura at 90, Anna paired with Niles because she was lv25 (at least she leveled up a bit through this), a few "slayer" skills on everyone's weapons (tomebreaker, bowbreaker, opposite gender breaker for Sakura) and a damage boost blessing. I only tried like 10 times in 2 days. I don't like playing archers.

Fire Emblem warriors interview, nice stuff in it https://nintendoeverything.com/fire-emblem-warriors-devs-on-the-end-of-dlc-awakening-dlc-pack-why-darios-isnt-playable-sequel-interest/ No further DLC, sequel bait at the end of the interview (yes please) but they're not working on it now. They started working with 3DS Hyrule Warriors as a base, but just after FE Fates came out. ... so with this many Fates characters, this was more of a promotion for Fates than just the usual fan-service, then ? That's why there's almost nothing from the classic games. Okay...
I resumed playing it once again, and I only now realized that the * slayer game is almighty at high levels (slayer, not breaker, breaker is useless). The right combination makes it possible to clear a lv120 stage with lv 90 units (but only with that character's Scroll / Opus unlocked). I guess that makes it okay to having multiple clone characters : they each take two slayer skills for different situations. I'm not as mad about it as I was before. It's just a pain to level everyone above 80, then 100, then 120, and get the opus for the weapon... it's tough but in the end it feels pretty damn good (Siegfried's Opus, Fred's axe opus with lv 80~90 units yesss). I'm clocking in at 160 hours spent on this game, it's been a long time since I've done that (I'm not far from completely finishing all the history mode entries). Also weapon skills like acceleration and character skills like Lethality make bad characters (Oboro, Tharja/Robin) far more usable. My Tharja has acceleration, Robin doesn't, it's like night and day.

There's Echoes, the remake of Gaiden, on the 3DS. Before that, Shadow Dragon on the regular DS was a remake of the first FE game. They added Shadow Dragon characters in Warriors because they're still the most popular in the whole series (at least Marth and Caeda anyway), but nothing beyond that for everything inbetween. Echoes only got one character in Warriors. Everything else is Awakening and Fates, the games that revived the series (Super Smash Brawl not counted). Sure that makes sense, but I'm surprised it was even before they were sure Fates was doing well. That and no one else from other games means it's not the usual fan-service for a Warriors game, but extra promotion. Even Awakening takes little place in the story in Warriors, Robin shows up as an antagonist (as Grima) a few times but that's it, most of the stories involve the Fates characters.

Honestly, I'm fine with no more DLC, sometimes less is more and it does make way for sequels far better on in the future...not to mention, I literally got the game like 3 months ago so I'm in no rush for sequels(especially since I pre-downloaded Hyrule Warriors Remastered...I cannot really play the 3DS version anymore). I'm still in the midst of doing History Mode and primarily leveling up my characters and unlocking skills by grinding enemy heavy maps to make my grinding alot easier(on top of the obvious stuff like getting mats).

Post by: Byakko on May 19, 2018, 08:05:33 pm
Playing from this to Hyrule Warriors is going to be a bitch.
Just started it, first level, and no, it plays great. Starting back to lv1 feels extremely sluggish to move around, but it's still as amazing as it was the first time - it's a lot prettier, they updated the UI graphics (dialog boxes and everything), and not only did they port the ability to switch between three characters on the map, but they also ported the command system - you can order one character to defeat a specific enemy on the opposite corner of the map. That was the biggest issue with Hyrule Warriors : the need to run across the entire map to juggle between objectives, and both the command system and the unit switch system solve that problem. You can't pair up two units though, but that's all, this system in FEW is mostly useful to handle the weapon triangle and there's no such thing here. Also, so far I figure that being able to switch between three units will make it a lot easier to level up multiple characters faster than originally. Honestly, right on the first map of the story mode, there's only one big change from Fire Emblem Warriors : the keep boss only appears after you've depleted the keep's "HP" bar and then you get the keep when you kill the boss, whereas in FEW you can straight up run up to the boss and shank him and immediately take over the fort. edit - oh yeah. In FEW, rolling will let you run immediately after ; in HW, you're back to walking speed. That doesn't help the sluggish feeling, it's much better to be able to run quickly in FEW. I'm having a blast all over again. The only thing I dread is managing your inventory, with the skill slots and fusing the weapons that felt really bad back in the first HW, but I got used to it in FEW and I picked up a couple tricks, I just need to see if the strategies from FEW can still apply in HW.
Right now I just hope Koei will convince Nintendo one day to make a Warriors crossover between Zelda and Fire Emblem, it'd be even better than waiting for both a HW2 and a FEW2 - but of course that just a distant dream and it's probably not happening.
Well damn, Linkle is so fun to play and blazingly fast. Now that's what an archer should play like, FEW.

man FEW and HW are gonna take over my life at this point ;-;
Title: Re: The Nintendo News Thread
Post by: Byakko on May 22, 2018, 06:57:32 pm
Been playing HW for three days straight until yesterday, finished the story and started Adventure mode a bit. Jesus Christ this is gonna be long, there are so many adventure maps. they play pretty much the same. HW has so many different weapons and styles (and the many adventure maps to find them all), and the items ; FEW has the weapon triangle / advantage and stats, then there's the vastly upgraded badge / personal skills system which is much more interesting ; and that's it.
Weapon skill slot system is basically useless and boring in HW, but the weapon advantage and the existence of actual stats make it almighty in FEW. OTOH, the weapon triangle is frustrating because it's not very well used considering the overwhelming number of sword users and the ridiculously bad variety in bow and spear styles ; the purpose of the weapon triangle is only to speed up the weak point gauge decrease. The movement type advantage is kind of the opposite, it sees much better use and is much more noticeable at high levels. Advantage against armors is the exception since there's literally only one type of enemy that is armored. HW has the items (hookshot, boomerang etc.), they're fun for the Zelda spirit but having to switch between them in a split second in combat when multiple types of enemies are swarming you is pretty tough (Beast Ganon is a pain too). It's possible to mash the attack buttons with one hand while searching for the correct item with the other, or run toward an enemy in the distance with one hand while searching for the item with the other, but, eh... The Definitive Edition has a prompt that shows the right item when someone is most vulnerable, the Wii U didn't have that IIRC, it's a big help to even notice what you can do, but all in all, it's a bit hard and not very practical in combat (I'd have been okay with an option in the pause menu to look at the enemies around you and pick the item, much like pausing to give orders in FEW). I'm still glad the classic Zelda items made it in, though. But it could have had a few more puzzles, the story barely required you to blow up some rocks in the first stage and then forgot about it.
So the differences between the two is exactly what makes both of those games very much fun - the stats and weapon advantage for FEW, and the many crazy weapons for HW. Other than that, they play the same, and they're both fun in what they focus on. Koei really nailed the spirit of both series. With the big graphics upgrade on HW, you can play both alternatively and you won't see the difference.
(testing Skull Kid and Linkle's Pegasus Boots for the first time - these guys are so fun)

Spoiler: Sorry, I'll just gush a bit more on Hyrule Warriors(click to see content)
I'm discovering more of the DLC characters that I never picked up on Wii U, and man, the original cast really got shafted. Darunia has shit reach and bad movements with attacks that hardly hit anything, Ruto is super slow and hard to get the attack you want when you want it at the right place, Zant and Girahim are weird and hard to know where you're even going to hit and how long it'll take, Fi just plows straight ahead and hardly steers, Agitha is just shit, Midna has weird movements but at least she's fast and she has good reach.... But I'm discovering Linkle (both weapons), Skull Kid, Toon Link (sword for now, no sand staff for me yet), Ravio, Yuga, even fucking Medli, and they all play great, easy to steer in the middle of combos, good reach, mostly decent attacks in general, and most importantly, really fun attacks. Ganondorf's Trident also makes him go from the speed of a comatose slug to lightning fast, just because. The only one that's weird so far that I've tested is Tetra. I really didn't expect to care for any of the toons (especially Medli, that faceplant fail in her super is painful to watch every time) or Ravio who looked like he should have uncomfortable movements. If only they'd made some more effort to port more than just the characters to the Wii U DLC, I might have seen all that years ago. (also the BotW costumes are gorgeous) (but why the fuck does the map grid to give orders always splits forts in a weird position so you don't know which square to click on to order your guys to attack a specific place ?)

Her attack are super slow to come out, have shit reach (her normals, not her finishers), her giant summons take forever to come out, it's hard to efficiently control her flight mode, her only hope to decrease the weak point gauge is to use the juggle combo (and like half the cast has one) and that doesn't work on giant bosses so she takes forever to kill one (I mean without having all 3 badges to deplete it faster, compared to a lot of other characters with the same restriction). She has the one move where she spreads butterflies that's pretty effective and that's probably what people call broken, but most of the time she plays like shit.

So much to say.
Togepi, Snubbull, and a beta Aipom were all meant to be Mythicals? The early designs of the Legendary Beasts are intriguing. The ghost sprite from Gen 1 was originally going to be its own thing but that's suppose to be a pre-evo of Girafarig? An early model of Huntail was meant to debut here instead of Gen 3? Pre-evo of Mr. Mime was scrapped until Gen 4 as Mime Jr. Blissey looked weird and I'm glad it become what it is now. Swinub/Piloswine were meant to be Electric types? Slowbro's tail was meant to be its own entity instead of Slowking?
This is awesome. Would love to see that evo of Ledyba as its new Alolan form.

I especially love the baby Paras. Despite how dreadful the actual Pokémon's stats were to use, I always liked the Paras line conceptually. And the changes to Girafarig just leave me disappointed with the final turnout that remains to this day.
As someone there in the link said though, I think Togepi and friends were just late additions that were not categorized correctly into the pokedex yet.

Nintendo has had enough of pirates and the websites that enable them, like EmuParadise. After shutting down a handful of sites and a Game Boy Advance emulator on GitHub in July, the publisher has seemingly done the work to convince EmuParadise to shut down.

In general, online services are annoying but understandable and Nintendo's isn't aiming to be the best but is also priced appropriately for its smaller service. What does bug me is the content that's already currently available and would be hurt by those not looking to pay.
I'd suggest leaving current games with online functions, like Splatoon 2 which lives and breaths by people playing it online, free to play online but require paid online service for further DLC. Presuming it's getting further DLC like Octo Expansion and they're not just going on to Splatoon 3.

Indeed, compared to the online services for the PlayStation and Xbox, Nintendo's prices is very cheap. In fact, they are less than half the price of the competition. However, I do fail to see how the cheap price will backfire on Nintendo.

I'm thinking that a lot of people will opt for the family plan, but I don't know if to one household, or what they actually can bundle up with each other. Either way, I hope down the line they can add bigger consoles to the lineup of games they have, I can see them going as high as the 64 and offering special deals on the new virtual console that I have a gut feeling will include Gamecube and the like. Another thing I hope they do is look into is getting private servers you can use for special titles that can benefit from it.

I wonder if Joker's even at a point that they can show off yet. They hadn't even started work on him when he was first announced.
I'm hoping we'll get some news about improvements to Switch online. The free NES games are great and all, but the service could still use some major improvements.

Title: Re: The Nintendo News Thread
Post by: Long John Killer on February 13, 2019, 03:26:27 am
Personally the only real big thing that we know of that I would like something on is the new Pokémon generation games. Still don't really care about Fire Emblem nor Joker and it's rather unlikely they'll show off the next character before they at least show off his gameplay in some fashion. Normally I'd say that while 2 months would certainly get them some progress done on the character, Nintendo's perfectionism would probably hold off on him until there was a lot to show. But then I'm reminded prior to Ulitmate's release we got Young Link on the official website with messed up hair that was unfinished on his model, so hey, not impossible.

Astral Chain's art direction doesn't impress me but cyberpolice Jojos is an interesting idea, may keep an eye on that to see if it's good Platinum or bad Platinum.
Link Awakening, I loved Link's Awakening when I was young. This looks...odd, to say the least. Like one of those Disney games with the weird mini-model they used for Link. But I still intend to get it. As well as Dragon Quest 11 coming to Switch, been very much waiting to getting around to get that off my to-do list and now I can skip being tied to the PS4, would much rather play it portable.
So...is new Fire Emblem just Harry Potter? With Pokémon Go red/blue/yellow factions? I knew going in it wasn't my thing but it amused me that's all I really got from it.

Crypt of the Necrodancer is a combination rhythm game/roguelike dungeon crawler. All actions from moving to attacking enemies need to be performed to the beat of the BGM. Good rhythm results in better loot drops and higher score multipliers. If you stop moving or drop the beat, the multipliers stop. Here's what it looks like in action:
Great game, IMO. I'm super excited to see it get not just a sequel but a crossover with godsdamn Legend of Zelda of all things.

Title: Re: The Nintendo News Thread
Post by: Byakko on March 23, 2019, 03:39:50 pm
Watching some Necrodancer on Youtube, this game looks really hard, not necessarily difficult to play but you have to keep your head in the game 100% of the time and you can't take time thinking about how you'll go around this enemy and beat it or watch that guy's moves, because you're likely to miss the tempo... Can you even afford to pause ? I hope there will be a demo available to actually test it yourself.
Title: Re: The Nintendo News Thread
Post by: Person Man on March 23, 2019, 03:48:25 pm
There's definitely a difficulty curve in the later levels, but it's simpler to pick up than it looks. Most of the challenge comes in the form of figuring out enemy movement patterns and keeping an eye on the floor layout so you can position yourself to attack them without jumping into their line of fire. Like a lot of rhythm games the better you get at it the more it becomes internalized, and it becomes less about deliberately thinking out your next move and more about going with the flow.
It's definitely a game I'd highly recommend, personally.
Title: Re: The Nintendo News Thread
Post by: vgma2 on March 25, 2019, 04:39:30 am
Having been obsessed with this game for a good while, I can say it's really fun, but also really hard.
Figuring out enemy patterns is actually one of the easier parts. The game provides you training rooms so that you can essentially lab against them and learn how each of them work. (You need to unlock that though.)
The hard part is when the game throws an enemy formation at you and you need to figure out how to deal with them on the fly. One enemy is simple to get past, but when a group of 3-6 different types show up and start advancing towards you, you'll need to quickly think about which enemies you can safely take out first, while avoiding damage from the other ones.
Once you become experienced with the game enough, you start to realize strategies on how to stall out enemies while keeping the beat. (Later parts of the game punish you heavily for missing the beat.) This helps immensely with figuring out a plan to deal with an oncoming wave of enemies.
For anyone who has a Switch, you can apparently download a demo of Necrodancer from the JP eShop (You can create a JP Nintendo account to access this). Interestingly, this demo doesn't exist in any of the other eShops nor Steam for some reason.

I just finished Yoshi's Crafted World.
It is a fun relaxing game with rather a rather creative art style and innovative stage mechanics from the usual fare. I just wish that many of the concepts they introduced are not exclusive to the stage it is found in. I would appreciate more stages where I can use the boat to blast more pirates out of the water for instance. And the difficulty could be higher, but that would ruin the relaxing part, yes?
Over all, I am quite satisfied. I'm going to take a break before attempting the challenge stages and trying to get more flowers and crafts and costumes.

I am not sure, but I'm getting mixed signals whether or not that this will, or will not have Couch Co-op play.
Like, I don't understand why you would NOT be able to play a level for 2-4 players locally. There seems to be some evidence that supports this, unless they are there for another reason.
Title: Re: The Nintendo News Thread

Title: Re: The Nintendo News Thread
Post by: vgma2 on May 17, 2019, 05:46:45 am
Just a guess, but it sounds like the multiplayer features they have for online are reliant on each player having their own screen so that they can be far apart from each other.
As opposed to the co-op in the mainline 2D Mario games, where all players are forced to stay on camera.
Title: Re: The Nintendo News Thread

^Yeah, this is the conclusion I came to after thinking it over. It makes sense.
So then I began to ponder something else - I wonder if this game will place a limit of the blocks you can place. That's one thing that really irked me in the first one, I hope they at least bumped up the limit, but getting rid of it entirely would be great.
Title: Re: The Nintendo News Thread
Post by: Sheng Long on May 19, 2019, 04:51:35 am
Well they have to make a limit somewhere, otherwise levels would get considerably lagged.
Just like the original SMM, looks like the scroll limit is still 10 screens across. I am sure the ground/enemy/item/boss limit is the same as well. Though I did see at least 4 simultaneous Boom Boom's in the trailer. If they are using original SMM as the base for SMM2, then I would not expect the limit to be any bigger or smaller than it already is.

So then I began to ponder something else - I wonder if this game will place a limit of the blocks you can place. That's one thing that really irked me in the first one, I hope they at least bumped up the limit, but getting rid of it entirely would be great.
Any game/software for a console with an in-game level editor is bound to have a limitation on objects that you can place. With a hard cap on hardware capacity, you can only put in so much stuff before a level becomes an unplayable laggy mess. ...Unless they got some wicked good algorithm to optimize RAM usage. But otherwise, I wouldn't expect the object limit to be too different from MM1.

Agreed. Too many objects will be just a mess and makes the designer a bit unorganized. A good designer will do more with less, making things lean without too much fat.

Something that was added in SMW. - Can place items in checkpoints (Video showing Mario getting star powerup running through checkpoint) - No Multiplayer online with Friends.

Bleh. Missed the news broadcast, saw the reveals individually on Facebook, so hopes raised on some new different type of Pokémon RPG akin to Mystery Dungeon focusing on the infamous trainers of the series lore and fleshing them out, and immediately dashed for cash-grab nonsense for phones. Joy of joys.
At least the news on Pokémon Home allowed a sigh of relief. Something that caused me to eventually put down completing the Ultra games completely and start breeding for the best guys was knowledge in the back of my mind that the transition from the DS family of hardware finally to the new Switch console could possibly leave us with another gen 3 situation, forcing you to completely start over since nothing carried over. And while it was eventually for the best, I don't want to have to deal with that again. Looks like I won't have to. Good, getting a number of perfect shiny Pokemon took much more time than I care to admit.

Differences from the flagship console: -Smaller. -Cannot connect to TV. -JoyCons are built-in; left one now features a d-pad, right one lacks the IR motion camera, both lack HD rumble. -No kickstand due to non-detachable JoyCons. -Half an hour more battery life. -No brightness sensor, so no adaptive brightness. -$200, which is a little under $100 cheaper than the Switch was at launch.

This time, it looks really good. The last two games for 3DS and Wii U were a big dissappointment. This new game doesn't involve too much with Toad at least. And Bowser and his minions, teaming up with Mario is a good idea. Let's see how it turns out once it's released.
Title: Re: The Nintendo News Thread
Post by: Person Man on May 15, 2020, 02:06:40 am
Out of absolutely nowhere, they announce a brand new Paper Mario game that's being released in less than two months, that appears at least at a glance to skew towards the older games with RPG combat and partner characters. All this without a Nintendo Direct or any kind of fanfare. I have to wonder what they're thinking announcing it this way.
It doesn't look too bad at the moment, though. The last two Paper Mario games were pretty terrible, but this trailer seems to offer quite a few things to be optimistic about.
Title: Re: The Nintendo News Thread
Post by: vgma2 on May 15, 2020, 02:20:52 am
The premise of this game and what we can see seems pretty neat. Though some of the UI remind me of the previous two games. The rotating ring mechanic during battles seems interesting depending on how well they'll handle it. I'm cautiously optimistic on this one.

I know Tetris Attack is it's own whole thing with a bunch of spinoffs and whatnot, but the original game never left actually left Japan despite become really well known among the Nintendo community.
Also, the Chinese trailer for the new Paper Mario showed off partner characters in combat, but was quickly taken down.
Which either means it's a scrapped feature that accidentally got left in this particular cut of the trailer or - much more likely because Nintendo does this shit all the time - that's a feature they didn't mean to reveal yet and are trying to bury it.

a little gameplay, in the first trailer it was seen that Mario had HP in 150/150 I hope that he can level up by winning fights, also apparently if you align certain types of enemies in this case the goombas increases the damage and that you can only move the rings a limited number of times (maybe with some object you can increase the amount), I guess you have to think of a good strategy when more enemies appear randomly
Title: Re: The Nintendo News Thread
Post by: vgma2 on May 23, 2020, 09:04:49 pm
Honestly this looks like a pretty neat mechanic. I just hope that the enemy and troop formation design is good enough so that players need to use the ring well in order to succeed.

Surprisingly, I hated it after a while.

OH MY FUCKING GOD that's a lot of twists. I assumed HW was a one-on-one deal but it looks like Nintendo liked it enough. I expected any possible sequel to go the usual Warriors route that just keeps adding more and more stuff, but they just went ahead and started over for something new. That gives entirely new prospects for both franchises. Like... pre-Skyward Sword war with the very first Goddess' hero ? Hyrulean civil war just before OoT with the Gerudos ? Pre-flood war with no hero ? All the failed wars, just like this age of calamity. Expecting to not see anyone from the last game, and then also expecting them (at least a few) to show up as DLC, then. At least it won't be "Link and his bitches" (at least not at first).
Title: Re: The Nintendo News Thread
Post by: Orochi Gill on September 08, 2020, 06:18:52 pm
Honestly, another HW seems like a probable thing since Nintendo released the original game 3 times in like 5-6 years.

I forget her name, but the chick who turned herself back into a kid in BotW ? edit - Purah. I'm gonna guess that's her we see from behind as an adult kneeling next to Link behind Zelda, when they're in a big room with the king on a balcony. Sure it could be a young Impa, but I'll assume it's her and guess she'll be playable with a set of ancient tech and they'll try to cram anyone who does anything with a tool. Time to hit the wiki for a guess list (Robbie, Impa, any Yiga / Koga, Kass's master etc.) ... The fuck is that mini white jar-like guardian with a blue eye in the title art ? Playable mini guardian already ?

Well that certainly came out of nowhere. More Hyrule Warriors is most certainly welcome. I do have to wonder about the roster though; If it's exclusively staying in the BotW timeline, but set as a prequel, then there aren't a ton of characters from that game that were alive in this timeframe. Impa and Purah are the only major ones I can think of. Sidon was but I think he was just a little kid at that time. Maybe Hestu?
Title: Re: The Nintendo News Thread
Post by: Byakko on September 09, 2020, 12:27:40 am
We know Impa, Purah and Robbie can probably make it in. Hestu is rather likely as a comedy character too. Next, there's that mini white guardian on the artwork, definitely playable. Next, I don't think we know how old Koga is but it'd be a shame if there's no playable Yiga boss. After that, we know Kass had a teacher who had a crush on Zelda, and Musou has used musical warriors before (edit - oh, he was a poet but also a Sheikah). And then the king has a tiny chance to make it in too, and also the final DLC monk mayyyyybe. That's 14, 15 tops if we throw in everyone and the kitchen sink. If Koei throws in their OC, the witch of time (Lana/Cia after fusing back) and Linkle, we're about the same as the original HW roster, right ? And that's not even counting any original bad guy and others that they can throw in the story. Surely there can be some boss bad guys that the champions killed during the war.

Holy smokes. Did not see this coming. A Hyrule Warriors game that actually add to the lore of the franchise in a big way? Yes please!
Although, it will be said to see beloved characters die...

Post by: Long John Killer on September 09, 2020, 01:09:45 am
....But I liked playing as Midna last game.
Well...I'm getting it, so little point in complaining about it, but the Warriors gameplay didn't click with me 20-whatever years ago when I first tried it, it didn't hold my attention with Hyrule Warriors and I'm guessing it'll be just as mediocre here. What kept Hyrule Warriors interesting 100% was the Zelda lore fanservice, geeking out over Fierce Deity Link going all Plan B on the falling moon and just cutting it in half was exceedingly more fun witnessing it happen at all the first time over doing it another 50 to 100 more times on the same level.
But hey, this seems to directly address Breath of the Wild's core issue (Well, besides your stance on item durability. God, if THAT'S in this Warrior's Game, I don't know if I can handle it) with there being 90% world-building and 10% story to tell with this world. Personal world interpretation is wonderful and all, Metroid is my favorite series of pretty much any and everything, but following the chain of 3D Zelda titles every since Ocarina of Time, really, as a story this didn't just fall flat on its face, it faceplanted into the ground and stayed there.
As an aside, is my memory faulty or if I recall correctly, Link was romantically involved with Mipha in pre-BotW time? Was that an established thing or just a fan theory/interpretation? Remember that flashback in her area was rather odd to throw into the whole mix; Link often doesn't have a love life due to his duty and/or is a child in various interpretations. If that was a thing and I'm not just losing it, would be an interesting dynamic to cover during this new game.
Title: Re: The Nintendo News Thread
Post by: Byakko on September 09, 2020, 01:20:25 am
Mipha definitely saw Link as a potential husband (the Zora tunic that she made herself is supposed to be for someone she wants to marry, according to what the other Zoras say about Zora tradition - and she specifically made it to fit Link). I don't recall if Link actually shows any specific feeling for her in that way but it's a fact that they were childhood friends and very close, at the very least. But after that, the connection between Link and Zelda is definitely WAY stronger and more personal than in any previous Zelda game (beside Skyward Sword), there's definitely feelings there.
Title: Re: The Nintendo News Thread
Post by: Long John Killer on September 09, 2020, 01:34:17 am
Hm. Maybe I'll need to re-play BotW or read up on it. I don't particularly recall romantic feelings between Link and Zelda this game. Link's role is kinda no more than Twilight Princess Link doing his ordained-on-high job. Guy's doing his bodyguard duty, Zelda's a naïve dolt that means well but her pacifist nature clashes with reality. I mean, she breaks down when, you know, everyone's freaking DEAD but I dunno, I never interpreted anything romantic between them when I played? Or at least it'd be one-sided because Link is a player avatar so you're not getting an exceptional lot out of him.
There being so little to draw from cutscene-wise doesn't help either. But eh, if they want to go that route fine, it's whatever I guess.
Title: Re: The Nintendo News Thread
Post by: Byakko on September 09, 2020, 01:44:18 am
The massive shift in how Zelda perceives Link, between the memory cutscenes and her diary, at least shows that she is moving toward having feelings for him - even before the calamity. It's implied that they spend quite a lot of time together, but we don't know how long Link acts as her bodyguard for, and they definitely grow close. And then in the final scene, Zelda wants to restore the kingdom and the royal line, and between Link pretty much being the only dude alive, and the overall vibe between them in that cutscene, it's a lot more heavy-handed than the other games (but still only implied and not explicitly said). Well, we'll know for sure in BotW2 if they've done anything. OoT they become friends as children (but then Link leaves for Termina) and don't do anything as adults, TP Link has next to no connection to Zelda and only looks at Midna, Minish Cap I think they're friends but then nothing happens at all between then, and so on. The two of them actually having any relationship, or even any interaction for more than 2 minutes, at all past Skyward Sword is already a big change (beside that Link's Adventure ending).
Title: Re: The Nintendo News Thread
Post by: Long John Killer on September 09, 2020, 01:59:14 am
Sure, we'll find out if there's anything more to this in BotW2. Just going by memory for things as is, Link supposedly had an established relationship with one member of the group already, who....kinda sticks around as a ghost? So I guess Mipha will be the Aerith to Link and Zelda's Cloud and Tifa going forward then. And I guess expect clashing emotions between Link, Zelda and Mipha at some point in this HW pre-sequel thing for some drama.
Title: Re: The Nintendo News Thread
Post by: Person Man on September 09, 2020, 02:03:50 am
Speaking of BotW2, there's that dehydrated Ganondorf from the trailer. Wouldn't be out of the question to see him in his pre-beef jerky days show up in a prequel.
Title: Re: The Nintendo News Thread
Post by: Byakko on September 09, 2020, 02:11:36 am
I don't think we'll see any rivalry or jealousy between Mipha and Zelda in AoC because neither of them seems the type for that, Mipha even seems to know there's a chance Link will go away (though she was about to confess in BotW but was interrupted, I think ?), but when Mipha dies, we'll definitely get a scene with a distraught Link and Zelda trying to comfort him.
Ganondorf has been sealed for probably over 10 000 years, I don't expect to see him move around in that form. Just regular HW1 Ganondorf as an expansion.

Nintendo officially ends production of all 3DS models. (https://www.destructoid.com/stories/nintendo-3ds-production-has-officially-ended-603898.phtml)
With the Switch being a hybrid console/handheld, there's no reason to expect a new dedicated handheld to be announced any time soon. So unless their next gen console ditches the dual aspect, this could very well be the end of Nintendo's handheld gaming legacy.

...this could very well be the end of Nintendo's handheld gaming legacy.
While I get what point you're trying to make, the fact that Switch is still technically a handheld, as much a it is a home console, keeps the handheld gaming legacy alive. It's just the natural evolution of the consoles though.
They started at home... then went to your hands... and now, they're both.

Title: Re: The Nintendo News Thread
Post by: Byakko on September 26, 2020, 01:09:42 pm
Reminder, livestream in 2h for HW:AoC. It's on
Different characters have a their own action(s ?) with the Sheikah Slate, Zelda has statis, Link has remote bomb Demo of soldier Link fighting bokoblins on the field, has shield surf as an attack (he uses it to move around quickly like when you're calling your horse), can jump then pull the bow and quickly shoot in slow time, also pulls bow while standing on the ground. So unlike the usual Musou, when you're standing there, you have more options than just "start a basic combo and deal a combo finisher", you can go straight to unique moves (bow, shield surf...). Even with his regular sword, he can charge up the blue light enhance for a big swing. Weak point, smash with a big attack, dodge - rush... You still get items like meat and rocks when you open chests that fall off a boss
Cutscene, Link finds the small white guardian, seems broken. Impa shows up chased by Bokoblins, she loses the Sheikah slate, the slate lights up, the mini guardian also lights up, a shrine with a tower just pops out. Mission against bokoblins around the tower, Impa is next to you fighting with a knife, mini guardian runs around. Link pulls an ice platform to launch himself and do an air bow attack. The bombs easily clears out a big bokoblin's weak point gauge, but it doesn't smash him, you still have to run at him and do it yourself. Bombs make trees fall off. We're in a fountain square, a bunch of wooden houses all around and western-style chariots.
Switching to Impa. Knife slashes, Yiga-like teleports, shadow doubles follow you and imitate your big wide slashes (and when she does a fast multi slash attack, the screen fills up with cuts) ; wizrobe boss, Impa does a super where all the shadow doubles around the boss pinpoint dash at him at once. (Impa looks like a clumsy damsel tripping on her feet when chased in the cutscene, but then when you play her she cuts the entire screen to shreds...) Hm, she has a kunai but also a short single edge sword that kinda reminds me of the warabite sword, the short sword of the Emishi people that were treated as Northern barbarians against the early Yamato state. Together with the Jomon pottery inspiring the Guardian designs, it's pretty nice.
I'm not sure if I missed something, but it kinda feels like the mini guardian is the equivalent of Navi, following you around, and may even be the reason you have access to the Sheikah slate ? So it might not be playable on its own.
New trailer. Mipha, Daruk (also uses stasis), Urbosa, Revali does a souped up Gale that launches everyone then he fires a fire arrow at the center and the gale blows up, etc.
Having a botw save data gives you Link's wooden sword & shield. sometimes it can auto-guard so it's nice for beginners (to make it easier for Zelda players to transition into the Musou series). Download version has a pot lid + ladle for Link. Treasure box goods are acrylic art, mini guardian metal charm, parasail blanket.

New trailer for the Champions' gameplay.
Title: Re: The Nintendo News Thread
Post by: Byakko on September 27, 2020, 11:55:39 pm
Rewatching the archived stream (same link above starting at 1:12), I see that the running basic attack can continue into the basic combo (replacing the first basic attack). Also, I see Link guard with his shield and then do a shield bash. Love having more options than just "mash one button and then pick a finisher". L+button gives you items, R+ button gives you the slate action(s) and maybe other extra attacks. Looks like you'll be able to assign two extra actions later to the two remaining buttons for Link (or the last two actions aren't unlocked yet). ZR is called character action, Link's is the bow. It says that a big charging enemy can be countered with the ice pillar, they'll smash against it and stun themselves. You get visual hints when an enemy is vulnerable to a bomb or ice. Link's unique action is the bow, Impa's is a talisman that creates her body doubles, make that 3 times and you get a super attack. Beating the wizrobe gives Impa the fire rod as an item (L+Y), but they say that's all they'll show.
Since the mustard pot guardian is maybe not going to be playable after all but just acts as support following Link, I was think about the Akalla citadel battle, where everyone dies. The champions are already dead and Zelda is on her way to seal Ganon, so who's going to be playable there ? I as wondering if Link's father, who is also a knight and whose design we've seen in artwork, could be playable as a heavy sword user, since he's a big guy.
TGS is showing 20 more minutes of gameplay, videos going around. Link is wearing his helmet. Everyone can get all the slate runes, but they use it differently. Link uses magnesis to point in front of him, everything metal agglutinates (including enemy weapons and shields), and he swipes everything with the metal mass. Impa's magnesis points up, things agglutinate above her head like a staff, then she swings it all around and slams it down in front. Link's bomb throws volleys of small bomb, Daruk's bomb is a single giant bomb, it explodes into a few small bombs that scatter and explode again. Impa uses stasis then slashes multiple times to build up kinetic energy then everything goes flying. She uses cryosis and sits on the ice block to ride it forward. For Daruk's unique action, his regular attacks can scatter rocks of various size, the unique action will turn those rocks into magma, then use it again to make the magma explode. Link can use a spear as his main weapon. He swings it like a good little Zhao Yun. His full bar special is just pure Zhao Yun.

Impa blushing of embarrassment when Purah comes up. (edit - oh wait, no, seems it's just her regular make-up she has everywhere else...) Pretty sure Robbie will be playable, can't tell with Purah. Nintendo Treehouse streaming right now on the Nintendo channel, about to stream more Zelda. Wow, when have we ever had so much new content streamed within a few weeks for an upcoming game ? They're showing Pikmin right now but the chat is spamming for Zelda lol
Urbosa has a lightning charge bar. Koroks are in. Zelda has multiple uses of the runes as her basic and strong attacks, on top of the R+button attacks. .... Her Musou attack... takes a picture. What. World map acts as the main menu, there are sidequests, and you can go to a blacksmith or a chef to use the food items to make dishes. You have the same equipment pieces as the original (Zora tunic helmet, armor pants, flamebreaker chest etc.) There's a training spot to learn new combos. Two-handed "sword" style (big hammer) demo. Impa's weak point smash summons a huge frog lol, classic ninja stuff Done. Wow, an hour of Pikmin and 30 minutes of Zelda, what a tease.
edit on rewatch : An item drop during the Yiga battle is called ancient memory part. The icon is the Sheikah slate, so you can collect parts to unlock memory scenes... from the slate, I assume ? in the Gerudo battle, when they pause, we see a map of the area and a boss icon with the text "defeat master Kohga". So he's there, he's a boss, and he's probably going to be playable. That or his predecessor has the same name, but that's still a likely playable character. I saw that the first time, but the "saving" icon is the Master Sword from the "Calamity of 10 000 years ago" tapestry.
And here's Kohga.
Also, a very sus person in a hood and a malice eye-like forehead decoration, braids, a lot of eyeliner, and a Gerudo symbol on his cape, hanging with Yiga people. Seems male, so why's he wearing a Gerudo symbol.

A Vaati / wind mage inspiration would be awesome but I'm not remotely expecting any connection (even though he wasn't destroyed in the downfall timeline, just sealed). I got Yuga, Agahnim vibes myself (not saying there's a relation to either of them of course). He (?) seems to be holding a corrupted ancient core, so probably the one bringing Ganon the mean to take over the Guardians (and that can be worked into a movelist too). Most of the fandom is already expecting him to be the fortune teller that predicted the return of Ganon and the presence of the Guardians, which was actually a bad thing if he also brought Ganon the means to corrupt them. As for villain characters, all we need is a master of monsters now, someone responsible for the uptick in monster attacks. Not like Volga though, I didn't actually like that he was presented as that in HW, it really didn't fit his design / style.

Only Nintendo could ruin a long awaited English release of an older game by doing yet another of their blatantly anti-consumer limited time "only available until March 2021" shticks.
Oh, and the physical release is just a box with a one time use download code & some other collectables in it.
Granted, it's $6, so I'll probably get it anyway in order to have an optimized & translated port on my Switch, but this is yet another reason why i still wish Nintendo was still in it's phase where the Wii U was doing so poorly in sales, that Ubisoft would rather delay Rayman Legends for several months in order to go multi-platform, rather than have it be stuck on a system most consumers didn't care about. And that one was one of the few 3rd party games that didn't just skip it entirely.
If this is how low Nintendo will sink to manipulate consumers for the sake of a pathetic & desperate cash-grab, I don't want to buy any 1st party games from Nintendo for the Switch anymore.
And this is coming from someone who's not even that much of a Fire Emblem fan.

...Oh wow, i actually did contradict myself, did i? =/
Well, what i meant by getting it anyway was that i could at least get the game so that way i could keep it on me, & maybe find a way to save the translation or something like that for archival purposes.
...Although then again, i'd imagine someone else is probably going to do that anyway, so i guess maybe i shouldn't bother.
I don't know... i don't want to cut Nintendo out of my life for good, as there are a lot of games they make that i'd love to get for my 3DS, Wii U, etc.
But they just seem so blatantly anti-consumer most of the time to me. & to me, they also seem proud of it. So much so that it honestly makes it hard for me to look forward to any games they have.
It's just really frustrating for me, & it just makes me kind of want to try & stop supporting them anyway, even though i doubt i could really stick to that for a significant period of time.
I've just been really burnt out & agitated at everything recently, so i just decided to vent in the hopes that blowing off some steam would make me feel better.

I'm pretty sure you get to keep it after the cutoff date. Same with the other games (except Super Mario 35 Battle Royale, i believe). The problem isn't that buyers don't keep the games. It's that that they are on a set time limit in order to buy it.

It's frustrating on a consumer end, sure. But at the same time given Nintendo's history of constantly re-releasing as many of its games as it can as many times as they can get away with, I don't feel like there's any reason to doubt that these games will be made available again eventually.
And to be perfectly honest when you look at all the scummy shit that comes out of every other major developer these days, with predatory gambling mechanics, lootboxes and microtransactions, "live service" rip-offs, and abusive crunch being forced on developers, then Nintendo trying to push a handful of inexpensive titles by appealing to FOMO is probably the least offensive thing happening in the industry right now.

In most cases, that's true, but they made Zelda Four Swords Anniversary Edition a limited time only game, and it hasn't been available on the 3DS eShop since 2014. So there's no guarantee it'll come back when it gets removed in March 2021 (assuming they actually stick with that cut off date).

Hm...so, I have a habit of absolutely loathing approaching a series out of intended order, so if I'm to play a series I have to start at release number 1 (Reason why Final Fantasy was hell for a while and why I'm likely never gonna play those Persona games). I am absolutely drained on these Fire Emblem pretty boys showing up in Smash, but in fairness I'd be inclined to see what the big deal is trying Marth's game out. I've always heard that there's a fanbase split starting with the game that saved the franchise by intrinsically altering it, and Awakening onward is essentially a dating sim to softcore pornography game with a strategy game stapled to the side (Also something about Corrin's game having gay conversion therapy or whatever was in the news a while back). Three Houses appears to be its own beast but I already browsed the spoilers and it does not sound particularly interesting either so I'd probably be more interested in these older titles, if anything wins me over at all. But I'm also aware the Smash and fanbase interpretation of Marth and co. doesn't line up with the actual Fire Emblem character much (https://www.awkwardzombie.com/comic/disregard-that) and I'd likely hate everything everywhere like a discount Yahtzee, so there's that.
Now add on top of that this arbitrary limited time exclusivity for no apparent reason, I'm just feeling like skipping out on the whole mess.

FE1 is an insanely dated game, it's painful to play it in the 21st century.
If you care to know more about the franchise and don't want to start with Awakening I'd recommend the GBA games since they were the international debut of the franchise.

I mean, how insanely dated? I still enjoy a go at Contra every now and then. I'm about as nonplused as you can get at the permanent character losses; unless losing them soft locks the game then I think I'm not gonna care that much. I'd imagine a character being killed off opens equally new branches of dialogue for the remaining cast as letting them live and interact amongst themselves, or whatever happens in FE games between fights before Awakening.
....Or is that it, is it a continuous string of fight scenarios with story crammed in at the start and end? That would be annoying, yeah.

Thats what they call fomo (fear of missing out). I was like that too, I had a huge backlog of oldass games that forced upon myself for some reason. I played like 3 or 4 of those. I realized that im gonna burn myself out playing archaic and rudimentary games and will never get to the good ones. Storywise, you lose nothing. all of those games are standalone entries. I wouldn't have found some of my favorite games if i hadn't gotten rid of my fomo mentality.

That's fine and all in a general sense, I do skip titles that have absolutely zero appeal to me like the MMO Final Fantasies, but this one also has connecting history to another topic of interest to me; why Sakurai finds these things so intrinsically important to Nintendo's history to be disappointed in Smash 64 at their lack of Marth in it and his demand of it in Melee. This particular game is what he was fixated on, and I'm curious as an outsider what the hell he sees in it. I can emphasize, being a Metroid fan and that game being hard to suggest the original at the curious, but I don't see the appeal without first-hand experience with the story played as intended.
But I'm also not a fan of this limited time digital nonsense Nintendo's pulling, so I'm just as likely going to skip out on it. Won't die of ignorance in this case, just grumble at the next Smash FE DLC and wave my cane in the air.
Also wait, how are they all standalone entries when I've been listening for the past six-ish years since Smash Wii U/3DS about how Lucina is directly related to Marth and she has his sword and how that's a Big Damn Deal paying off whatever was set up before about it or whatever? Surely Awakening is a distant sequel to the first game, in similar vein as to how Nier Automata is to the original Nier?

It's not just the raw difficulty, FE1 is a caveman game without the most basic QoL features. You can't see the range of units. You don't have any preview window before each fight, you have to calculate the hit rate and damage yourself. There's a lot of wonky shit that later games improved on.
And also the story is fairly basic, and the supporting characters barely get the chance to speak. Later games fixed this by giving them their own interactions and more background story.

- 1 is the first game in the chronology. - 2 is a sidestory to 1, you don't need to play either to understand the other. - 3 is a both a remake and a direct sequel to 1 and supercedes it. - 4 was basically unrelated to the original trilogy, but the lore of dragons binds them together. - 5 is a sidestory to 4, you need to play 4 to understand it but 5 has no real impact on 4. - 6 is in a completely different timeline/universe. - 7 is a direct prequel to 6. - 8 is in a completely different timeline/universe, not related to 6 either. - 9 is in a completely different timeline/universe, not related to 6 or 8, either. - 10 is a direct sequel to 9. - 11 is a remake and supercedes 1, but not 3. - 12 is a remake and supercedes 3. - 13 (Awakening) is a distant sequel to the original trilogy and also introduced the concept of a multiverse and sidestories of dubious canonicity that imply a larger cohesive universe through multiple eras, but it's all fanservice.

So....it's asking of you to have the attention span longer than that of a knat. Do a few shake-down combat runs, learn the numbers, get it memorized. Nothing diabolical. It's Mega Man. Like I said before, Metroid, that thing freaking needed you to draw a map out in your notepad to reflect on every now and then. Pokemon has a plethora of unknown numbers to make calculations in the background that you need to keep ticked off in the back of your head, not that I bother much with competitive.
Like I said, interested as a history lesson/cultural understanding reach-out, not too bothered by ancient gameplay practices, more-so held off by this recent garbage marketing tactic Nintendo's got going on. Interested, but got plenty of other more interesting things to bother with.
Edit: That. Exactly, that. Used to do that, not a bother to me, intriguing if anything. Excessive hand-holding is more detrimental than anything the challenge would bring to the table, personally.
Also good to know the timeline/interconnectivity, thanks. 3 and 11/12 sounds odd when there's also that DS version of FE 1 out there as well. Is that a Metroid II/AM2R/Samus Returns sort of deal in the FE community?

There's a 2 hours + video on Youtube explaining the evolution of the franchise, and I like the approach it gives, that there's an overarching theme of the evolution of the relationship between humans and dragons, the wars, the worship, the assimilation...

Bump for Hyrule Warriors news/leaks. Dataminers may have dug up who the rest of the playable characters are from the demo.

One section of the assets contains map icons for each of the playable characters for specific missions tied to them. Besides all the characters that have already been announced, they found map icons for the following characters all stored in the same place:
- King Rhoame - Sidon - Yunobo - Teba - Riju - Hestu - Great Fairy - Kogha - A Sheikah monk - Ganon
The presence of the modern-day champions is surprising. I wonder if they'll factor into the story or just be post-game unlockables.

Have you tried the higher difficulties in Musou games? I mean, you have the regular fodder enemies, and then the actual 'get hit 3 times and lose immediately' class of enemies. And that's not even getting into the objective management you're supposed to do for these games.

Post by: Byakko on November 07, 2020, 10:07:39 pm
The character showcases came with a few Japanese articles showing a whole bunch of screenshots. Not a lot of very revealing stuff (beside Kohga invading the Gerudo throne room, and a section where Gerudos are your enemies but that could be a training stage, and a lot of shots showing battles against Moblins inside various shrines), except for this one : https://www.inside-games.jp/article/2020/11/06/129963.html (https://www.inside-games.jp/imgs/zoom/1029032.jpg) Face reveal for the mystery villain. Also confirmed by the text to be a guy. More and more Gerudo imagery with that red gem in his necklace, and apparently red hair after all, they really put it in your face that he's got to be a Gerudo male. The losange patterns on the front of the robe kinda reminds you of Ghirahim.
Oh yeah, also Dorephan's face close-up here : https://dengekionline.com/articles/55573/ He already has that scar, I thought he got it during the 100 year gap from a wandering Guardian ? There was also a shot of teeny tiny Sidon holding a Zora spear five times his size behind a threatening Lynel but I can't find it. edit - there he is https://game.watch.impress.co.jp/docs/kikaku/1286444.html bottom left on the Lynel shot, just before his close-up shot.
Spoiler: datamine speculation(click to see content)
I hope his adult playable form will use a sword, make him different from Mipha. Riju also should be using the thunder helm as a mage and not a sword and shield like Urbosa, I hope. Can't think of anything unique for Teba and Yunobo, beside maybe ice arrows.
Title: Re: The Nintendo News Thread
Post by: Byakko on November 15, 2020, 09:19:33 pm
Vah Rudania action, and a Zora region stage Looks like the boomerang weapon replaces the charged spin attack with a boomerang throw. Now to see if other weapons have similar unique perks.
edit
The blights attacking the divine beasts, awakened Zelda with the Triforce and the Bow of Light , aaaaand teasing the ocarina of Time. Not the song of Time, just Zelda's Lullaby, but at least it suggests the ocarina has remained in the royal family's possession since OoT - that' what I'm expecting instead of an actual OoT crossover anyway, and it's probably how they'll explain whatever they do with time travel.
Edit again Got the game, played Mipha (and Vah Ruta). Strong attack creates a small geyser at a distance, personal action has her dive and reappear leaping out of the distant geyser, perform an air combo from there. Her water attacks will heal allies, even her special. The special doesn't seem to hit, but it does deal damage to enemies... I think ?
When you upgrade weapons, passing certain levels on the weapon gives you a new skill slot for that weapon to take from a weapon you fuse into it, so plan out your fusions.
Uh-oh. One of the tips from the loading screen says
Spoiler, click to toggle visibilty
"Challenges : the influence of the Guardian from the future has caused a strange world that transcends time and space to appear !" So is that an excuse for bonus crossover challenges ? Or story-related ?
Well, the lullaby was the guardian singing, not the ocarina. Why even tease it in a trailer like that.
Edit again
Spoiler: story(click to see content)
I'm only partway through, but... Nintendo tried to market this to Zelda players, trying to tell them it's not the brainless button masher that you think Musou games are, come in for the story because it's canon and it's the actual events that lead into Breath of the Wild
Big surprise : it's not the events that lead into BotW. It's a time travel story with the future champions coming to the past to change the timeline. It takes a hard left from the BotW memory scenes (and it doesn't even bother to show the scenes that still happen, completely ignores what BotW showed and that's it). There's gonna be backlash and angry people... I love this game and the first one, but frankly, if you're here for the BotW prequel and not really into Musou games : don't fucking bother. Like they didn't bother. This is not for you. Nintendo lied.
Btw the real gerudo champion is not Riju. It's Patricia. For those who wanted to play a mini rampaging Molduga with a tiny lady riding behind.

Not 100% true. SMM2 is lacking the Lanky Mario, and the Costume Mushroom parts. Also stuff like pipe stacking isn't possible either. Not to mention we now have a 7x3 restricted space of the start screen now, that SMM1 did not have previously.

Not gonna lie, played a hell of a lot more Mario Maker 1 than 2 solely because of the costumes that they decided were not worth bringing back. Of course, also can contribute some of that to the original's novelty at the time over the sequel and lack of sustained interest in doing more 2D Mario stuff, but yeah, made many a Metroid levels to fill the Metroid-sized hole in video games back when.
Terrible ones, to be sure, but whatever.

And so, instead of dropping the price of the Wii U version of Mario Maker in order to compromise with the online servers being shut down (like Playstation All Stars Battle Royale did), Nintendo has instead decided to off digital sales for the original version in an attempt to prop up the $60 Switch version, much like what they did with DKC Tropical Freeze.
It’s stuff like this is why i really wish there was a proper competitor with the Switch in terms of the handheld console market, such as Sony making like a successor to or an updated “Pro” version of the Playstation Vita or something. (Vita Remote Play with the PS4 is more like the Wii U since both need to be close enough to each other to be connected at all times.) I love playing portably on my Switch, but if Nintendo is going to keep making these anti-consumer business decisions, I’m getting tempted to just stick to PS4/PS5, Xbox, or Steam for multi-platform games.

Ok, so, I never played this particular Mario game. Does it not play like this normally? I see people's reactions claiming it being more akin to Odyssey, likewise claiming it to be a essentially a whole new game and more like Odyssey DLC but with the cat suit mechanic instead of Cappy.
I also feel like they just essentially showed us everything the new mode has to offer, unless they intend to one-up that mountain-sized Bowser boss in the full thing? Or it's a repeated boss a la Super Mario 64's Bowser. Granted, it's freaking Mario, not like the story is the selling point, you get it for the gameplay and how it feels, not to watch. Still, saving the boss as a surprise would have been nice. And....Super Saiyan Mario. Seriously, what the hell, is this an abstract jab at Sega for Super Sonic, like, decades later? Or does the cat theme this game really have a Dragon Ball connection? That's just weird. Which is impressive when the default theme of the week in that game is dressing up as a team mascot.

Splatoon 3 going from hidden lore talking about how the main campaign is a farce and the real story is the post-apocalypse hellscape after a World War subtext a la Dark Souls straight-up opening with bold face text "This is what we really are" gives HUGE Steven Universe dropping the happy-go lucky early episodes into war criminal vibes, and I'm ALL here for it. Best thing they announced this Direct. They're gonna have to top going Gurren Lagann fighting the Statue of Liberty from last game somehow, though. Also dunno how intentional it was but that whole train ride wait and ambiance likewise gave a lot of Spirited Away vibes, and any Ghibli reference and respect gets approval from me.
But I'm glad to see another Mario Golf. Octopath Traveler's held my interest in getting for the longest time, so "Octopath Traveler but Fire Emblem" will probably also be on my radar. Skyward Sword HD is.....not a collection of 3D Zeldas, but hey, too many people sleep on Skyward Sword anyways. I'm getting it. Famicom Detective Club certainly is a game I have heard of. Played, certainly not. But I'll give it a try some point down the line.
Too bad on a lack of Metroid Prime HD Collection. That would have been viable for coming out the first half this year. Still have quite some time before lack of Prime 4 trailers becomes suspicious, though still saddened to not see them in the first Direct in quite some time, but the past Primes would have been a good fit to have here.
Oh right, almost forgot the Legend of Mana announcement. Will be getting that one as well most likely.

Other than that, it was a good direct to watch.

Normally I don't relish in the schadenfreude of others that much, but knowing Dunkey, I'm not surprised to see this Direct was about as anti-Dunkey as you can get.
Problem is, I don't really disagree with anything he's saying, if not to his extreme. Except putting down Miitopia. You just don't dislike a game with Darker Lord Jesus as a final boss. But that's the issue with raising your hopes, I suppose. I'm not worried about BotW 2 or Metroid Prime 4. A little confused what the hell they're doing with their hires for the latter, but still. The silence on all of Nintendo's big titles for so long is a little maddening if you hyperfocus on the faintest speck of news about them.

Oddly, I don't typically remember the Treehouse streams much, despite being 99% sure I catch them eventually afterwords. I know prior we had the double-take surprise of Samus Returns being part of the 2017 one, and less fun the National Dex cut news casually dropped in the last one we had. There would be some poetic justice amongst the Pokemon fanbase if this Treehouse also states the return of it, but I'm not holding my breath.
As for what I'd like, uh, probably the usual checklist everyone's gonna tick off. The BotW 2 news, your Metroid Prime 4 news, Pokemon news would be nice but I imagine they're going to want to do their own thing with their own directs as usual. Currently there's rumors swelling of a 2D Metroid being quietly worked on just like Samus Returns was, would be nice if that had any validity to it.
Its been 2-3 years since the last Fire Emblem, yeah? Since Nintendo seems to have caught some sort of lightning in a bottle with its upsurge in popularity I would not be shocked at a reveal of a new entry already, even if it's still some ways off. Beyond that, I dunno. Donkey Kong news would be great. Or that Pikmin 4 that they swear was just about ready to release....back on the Wii U.

To be fair, the season pass is still due to end this year that we're halfway through, and they've double premiered before with the second's actual release still some time away. It's not a new thing and could happen again. Just obviously for the best not to have expectations dead set that high.
Now, to go directly against my own suggestion and overreach, if that Switch Pro turns out to be something, I hope they bring Miis back and that the recent Miitopia upgraded port is a sign of things to come with them. Dunno why all three of the main console companies phased them out over the years, Xbox 360's prime you couldn't go two pages without their versions of avatars popping up, but Nintendo had the most varied usage out of them in their actual games and I just think they're neat when people put the extra effort into their customization.

Being a bit of a Johnny-come-lately, but I finally tried out the Miitopia demo. And I must say, it's actually quite fun. Was playing with my two younger brothers watching, and was getting a kick out of filling all the different roles with what few Miis I had on my Switch at the time. I enjoyed it enough to move all my Mii's over from my 3DS and Wii U in order to have enough to fill the roles of the other NPCs. Might go back even further and move some of my old Wii Miis over as well. Still gotta figure out the mechanics and whatnot, but I'm definitely considering buying it.

Finally, the elusive Metroid: Dread reveals itself. 2D Metroids are always my favored entries in the series, so this reveal pleases me greatly (not to mention those excellent amiibo figures!).
And, yes! WarioWare! I'm glad they're not waiting over half a decade to release a new one. I dunno how I feel about the game's gimmick yet, but I'll buy it regardless because the more Wario, the better.
Might get that new Mario Party game because I need one for the Switch and Super Mario Party looked too bland and soulless for my liking.
I'll have to scoop up one of them LoZ Game and Watch systems, maybe two. I wonder if Nintendo is going to make a series of these things based on their different franchises?
Other than that, the direct was serviceable. Lack of a Switch Pro announcement makes me a sad panda.
Title: Re: The Nintendo News Thread
Post by: Long John Killer on June 16, 2021, 12:36:32 am
The mental gears in my brain have been grinding and giving off smoke for some hours now contemplating they actually ARE doing Metroid 5. Fusion leaves the whole series at such an absolute departure from the status quo face of the series and then you have top of the controversy pile Other M to consider recontextualizing the series as a whole for the worse and Sakamoto's dead-set vision to not budge from that standpoint....I'm fully aware Samus Returns rebukes Other M and ties in Prime 3, but since then Sakamoto still clamped down on Other M's importance.
All I can see when I look at Dread is the dread of the black cloud of Adam A.I. hanging around being the anti-Cortana. That and the logistics of what the story could cover and what direction they could even go....? Universally, metroids and all their back-ups are dead, sans Samus herself is now DNA altered to be the last one ever. And I don't much feel like contemplating the story's direction of her giving birth to new ones, being the new last metroid queen, as much as my negative bias against Sakamoto's story direction leaves me almost believing he would do that in some form. Ignoring that, as far as end of Fusion goes Samus is a traitor to the Galactic Federation and kind of a freaky frankenstein. (Though implied by the speedrun ending that eating the SA-X fixed that) This new suit notably isn't the fusion suit, but it is maintaining parts of it, being bonded to Samus' skin and all. Which is slightly strange in where the new additions came from if she has no help to turn to. I'm gonna assume it's Chozo tech fixing/restoring the old defaults but that's purely a guess.
Anyways, lots to ponder what they'll do. I thought main storyline progression was dead with this series, genuinely. The fanbase as a near whole is actively against what was supposed to be the series lore and character deep dive that was to set the stage not just revising history but going forward. So seriously wondering what they plan to do.
Also the robots are literally just Alyx from Half-Life's Dog robot. But repainted by GlaDOS. Fitting, seeing the shared universe. So that's fun.
Watching the Treehouse gameplay, ok, it was kinda amusing that they clarified that the Adam A.I. won't give you orders and is just a lore encyclopedia. So there's that.

Yea, it's just a more expensive Switch..... Was this the Switch Pro? I donno, could be, maybe, but I doubt it. Either way it's just another switch. - Not worth ti if you already own a Switch. - Only worth a buy if you like the new model, and it's features.

It is a bit suspect that this OLED model is, like, 90% on the mark with previous rumor details, some rather specific....except matching with the point that most would have been interested in, the 4K resolution and general hardware bump. The superfluous stuff, that's all on the money. Ah well. I guess it's something.
My current Switch has been showing its wear and tear of being a day one buy and was rather hoping for that full next step upgrade to replace it. But this model only impacts those who stick to handheld mode, and I get maybe, like, 15 minutes of handheld use per week out of it generally? It's more a docked console for me so the OLED screen doesn't warrant a purchase alone for me.
Also its been 23 days since Nintendo's E3 and I'm still in disbelief that Metroid 5, Metroid Dread specifically is still a thing that's coming out in a relatively recent time schedule. Like what the hell. It's like Duke Nukem Forever but I'm actually invested and care. Also don't be like Duke Nukem Forever please.

Like 1Ultima said, Bloomberg's article was pretty specific, with reports on hardware construction lines and industrial quarterly reports of hardware companies and stuff. There was everything you could want short of an official announcement. It's pretty disingenuous to throw it all under "anonymous inside sources", this was absolutely not some rando forum and YouTube talk. They 100% had something concrete and they scrapped it before the end.
The whole "anti-leak snipers and total opacity" attitude that many big entertainment companies have is some serious bullshit. We can see it, it's right there in front of us, why even lie. It's the same with Zelda, we know they have stuff, they just decided not to sell it.
Title: Re: The Nintendo News Thread

So Bloomberg's source got it wrong. Or what they had was actually for something besides the OLED model that they're not announcing yet. It could be any of a million things that don't feed into the "We were lied to!! Nintendo are liars to us!!" narrative that's spiraling around this announcement.
It's like, someone sees someone else doing some baking in the other room. He turns to his friend and says "They're probably making a cake." They start talking about all the stuff they'd like there to be in the cake. Eventually a bunch of other people in the room start talking about the cake, and what a good cake needs these days, and what kind of cake they can assume it is based on what ingredients they saw her buying, and how the baker can keep up with the competition by adding ingredients to the cake. Finally, the baker comes in with a tray of cookies and everyone throws a fit because it's not cake, even though she never said it was.

The biggest missed opportunity for the OLED Switch for me was suprisingly the lack of built in Bluetooth. Sure, you can buy Bluetooth adapters for it but nearly every device (including potato phones and computers) have em. Hell, even the Vita has built in Bluetooth and it's almost 10 years old. I tend to use Bluetooth devices quite alot.
I guess the OLED Switch is cool for people who never bought a Switch yet.

Dude, absolutely no one has said that. Don't pretend to misunderstand what people are mad about just so you can claim that it's everyone else who's crazy. Also, it's not "Bloomberg's source" like it was just one guy. You're just grossly misrepresenting what was going on. (btw the Bloomberg article in question was very specific on the OLED part from Samsung and that's exactly what it was, but it also talked about 4K support and performances comparable to a PS4Pro for a price upgrade of $100 and that didn't happen) More details in this random article :
Citing a Taipei-based report out of the Economic Daily News, The Edge Markets reported that a new version of Nintendo's popular hybrid console could arrive by early 2021 — which didn't happen. That was quickly followed up by a Bloomberg report that suggests that the new Switch could arrive next year complete with 4K support and an expansive new games lineup.
A subsequent Bloomberg report claimed that developers are being asked to make their Nintendo Switch games playable in 4K, adding further weight to the possibility of an upcoming hardware upgrade. No such 4K support was announced.
Economic Daily News later reported that Nintendo was still planning a 2021 launch, and has been visiting companies in Taiwan to obtain displays for the new console. And recent claims by Dr Serkan Toto of Japanese-based consultancy firm Kantan Games echo the others, claiming we'll see a 4K Switch system this year.
Here's a look at when every version of the Switch has launched so far. Looking at these days, it's possible we could see an updated Switch by 2021 to coincide with the system's four-year anniversary.
Then, a Bloomberg report claimed a 4K Nintendo Switch could be on its way this year. That resolution didn't happen, but most of the other rumored features came true.
Nikkei Asia wrote that Nintendo plans to produce another 30 million Switches by March 2022. That could have been speaking to all models overall, but now it just seems like it could be referring to how the original Switch is staying in the lineup as the more affordable model.
This was coming from big Asian companies and economic journals. Google is giving me a bunch of other news sites that are recapping how the rumor of a Switch Pro evolved (the name Switch Pro even came from that March Bloomberg report in the first place).
You might be conflating this with other stuff that Nintendo did lie about, but the Pro thing wasn't something Nintendo themselves said, and nobody is saying they did. They said other stuff about other things that were lies, maybe you're looking at people who are putting that in one big bag and being mad that Nintendo lies in general.

Developers and Switch hackers were already skeptical about the Bloomberg article, some even straight up dismissed as being false. Switch games are developed in such a way that they will only work on the Nvidia Tegra shaders, so any new SoC will have to be backwards compatible to run switch games. That is not as simple as it sounds, because Nintendo will have to ask Nvidia to create a custom SoC just for them. Let us not forget that the Tegra line of SoCs was made by Nvidia for Shield TVs and self driving cars way before Nintendo came up with the switch and took it from them. I seriously doubt Nintendo is willing to spend that kind of money to have custom chip created for them.
If that wasn't enough, one of the hackers who datamined a recent Switch firmware was able to extract all the specs of the new Switch model before its unveiling, and he was able to determine that it was still the same Mariko SoC (https://twitter.com/hexkyz/status/1398322105851154435).

Picked up Skyward Sword. You know how they touched up the controls to chose between buttons and motion ? Well, it's still bad. You have camera controls, but on button control, you basically need to hold L 100% of the time unless you want to be swinging your sword at empty air by mistake all the time. As for the motion controls, if you're playing with a controller, then it has a really hard time distinguishing between a shield bash and a thrust or even a swing. Also the gyro control is still shit and straight up impossible to figure out where it's even aiming and where it'll take you when you tilt anywhere, so you have to reset the gyro every single time you do anything. Took me a good couple minutes to pull out that sword in the statue. It already feels like it'll be a pain to finish the whole game with either version, again.

I'm not sure if I'm a fan of the new Bayonetta look yet or not. Going to let it stew for a bit. I always like the first game's look because the long hair made a lot more damn design sense because of the whole hair outfit thing. Pigtails are an odd choice though. Eh.
Yes, that was the first thing I was stuck mulling over compared to the rest of the 4-year long awaited trailer with all the cool action scenes and the kaiju and whatnot. No, I'm not a real Bayonetta fan.
3D open world Kirby has been a LONG time coming. Never thought they'd actually do it though since Kirby fell into a second to third-tier Nintendo series in popularity and the devs ever since the Gamecube couldn't agree with how to do it. So just from a long-time fan it's real good to see happening at all. Though I do see some of that 2D to 3D transition issue they've brought up prior. Seemingly manual targeting where you're spitting enemies and the neutered flying Kirby's known for. Ah well. I will still likely get this one just because they finally made the jump if nothing else.
Also I did not play Astral Chain, been interested but not a top priority. But that mascot dog is from that other Platinum series, yeah? Was I unaware the two share a universe? Because that was also something that I was unsure with the whole gameplay trailer. The locals didn't exactly ring Bayonetta setting to me. Granted I only played half the first game but this trailer gave a lot of odd focus on Japan's military.

Funny enough I forgot about Cereza, seeing up to the point Bayonetta in the present day was treating her like trash was the point where I gave up on the first game and wondered why people even like this character.
I do some day have to replay the first in full with a fresh mindset then play the sequel I've had for years now. First time just left a bad taste in my mouth. She's like Dante to foes but also if he was an actual prude to regular people. I always assumed she got better as it went but meh, never cared enough to try again.
But yeah, I guess that makes some sense. That along with the leggings, frilled skit and puffy shoulders, I guess the dress motif this time around is gothic lolita.

In what way is Bayonetta, the tall buxom lady who's constantly acting and dressing provocatively and whose clothing is made out of her hair and also her powers use her hair too and thus if she uses her powers too much her clothes start to disappear, a prude?
Title: Re: The Nintendo News Thread
Post by: Long John Killer on September 24, 2021, 05:11:53 am
You know what? That was genuinely the complete wrong terminology. I guess I was just tired when messaging that or something, but no, I apologize, prude was the completely wrong term and I don't know why I defaulted to that. She's just a jerk. She finds a kid and bullies her around the room. I don't know how the story ended, but I just dropped it and moved on around the level about being in an hourglass or something.
Title: Re: The Nintendo News Thread
Post by: Jmorphman on September 24, 2021, 05:15:30 am
She honestly has a very sweet relationship with Cereza and is mostly just annoyed that she's somehow in this dangerous situation when she shouldn't be (and Bayonetta is therefore obligated to protect her, delaying her actual mission); I guess a lot of the sweeter interactions come later in, though.
Spoiler, click to toggle visibilty
and given that Cereza is her child self it does feel weirdly appropriate for Bayonetta to interact and react to her the way that she does
Title: Re: The Nintendo News Thread
Post by: Macaulyn97 on September 24, 2021, 05:29:51 am
Long John Killer, dude, you really missed... everything about the character, specially in her interactions with Cereza.
Title: Re: The Nintendo News Thread
Post by: Long John Killer on September 24, 2021, 05:31:00 am
Like I said, I assumed there was something deeper that people liked beyond where I dropped it. And I likewise assume if I try it again with a blank slate it'll be a better experience. Just for whatever reason at the time I played it when it was new-ish I got fed up with her role in the whole story. Game beyond that was ok. Bit weird Fly Me To The Moon plays in a graveyard though. And the gravity-inverted running up buildings parts sucked.
If 3 interests me enough I may have to push up a revisit on the schedule, but we'll see how it looks. Oddly broader Nintendo fans seem to be mixed to bashing on it on Facebook on my end, but I chalk that up just to it not being a mind-blowing trailer after 4 years.

The direct was pretty much mediocre. No info on development of BOTW2, or the Mario movie. But I guess that was expected. At least they gave Earthbound fans what they wanted for all these years. So whatever.

It had lots of cool JRPG stuff; pretty good Direct.
The amount of psychic damage that the Kirby trailer inflicted onto the world is equivalent to that first reveal of Mario Odyssey where Mario possessed a real human person. "Karby" alone...

I know the internet is gonna have a field day with that cheetah/cat lady in that Kirby game as well...despite having a name as pun-y as fucking Clawroline.
Also, Klonoa 1+2 alone already made me the happiest man on earth, and then the Direct just decided to casually drop a full-blown remake of motherfucking LIVE A LIVE!!!

I was pretty much starved for anything Mario Kart, and this was nothing of what I expected, but I am pleasently surprised by the extended car warranty for MK8D. 48 NEW COURSES!? That's sick. Now, they did focus on the course parts, but I hope they are including at least a few more cosmetics like karts or characters with it, to keep it even more fresh. Just give me Kirby and K. Rool and I'd be fine lol.
Disney got their own free to play kart as well now? I'll give it a chance.

Eh, doesn’t really bother me too much, especially since now those tracks can be enjoyed in a more traditional Mario Kart, & because Tour’s got a good chunk of tracks from older games in it that they can reuse, as well.

You should very well know that if they added more DLC slots, they would be more power-up variants.

https://mobile.twitter.com/NintendoAmerica/status/1508806409797963784 Zelda delayed to Spring 2023. But we do get 3 solid seconds of new footage with a better look at Link and the Master Sword. Good enough to last us a full year. I think that Link's new close-up design slaps [/Will Smith] And did you see that new haircut ? I mean Aonuma.
Lets open the bets and rumors for what Zelda game we're getting this year to make up for that (and the Switch 2 rumors for BotW2 while we're at it because why not).

Title: Re: The Nintendo News Thread
Post by: Beta158 on September 13, 2022, 07:42:38 pm
Maybe too wild. Especially now that a majority of PlayStation fanboys are peeing their pants right now. If this new installment of Zelda series reach GOAT status and Sony doesn’t have anything to justify the existence of the Ps5 then they might kiss that spot on the top goodbye. However even if tonight’s state of play does a worst showing it’s obvious this was Nintendos least exciting Direct of the Switch era.
Exhibit: A
Nobody asked for a new Fire emblem (though deep inside we really needed a new one that goes back to basics in terms of setting, gameplay, and story. Three Houses wasn't my cup of tea to be honest.
Exhibit : B
Too many jrpgs and farm sims in this direct. I’m still waiting to give the Rune Factory series a go if given the chance.
And finally Exhibit : C
The ongoing saga of Nintendo not caring about game preservation. Many of us expected Game Boy and(or) GBA to be announced but all we got was Goldeneye and Mario Party. Yay I guess?
Title: Re: The Nintendo News Thread
Post by: Beta158 on September 13, 2022, 08:09:42 pm
We all knew this was happening. We just didn’t know if Nintendo would acknowledge it.
Not the GameCube remaster everyone was expecting, but I’m glad there are some people that are happy.
After making an appearance on a State of Play last June a Switch version has been announced and set on the same day as PS4 and Ps5.
Originally a freeware RPG maker title, which explains the pixel art unsettling setting.
Hopefully this sequel gets more people to invested into Hd-2d jrpgs now we’ve seen what Square Enix is capable of.
Had this on the Wii when I was younger, so it’s probably my favorite announcement in the direct.
Cmon Capcom, you’re better than this.
This Saturn title finally makes it’s Nintendo hardware debut, and its available now.
Clearly the best way to celebrate Final Fantasy’s 35th anniversary.
Easily one of my most wanted Switch ports. Now I don’t have an excuse to play it when the remaster launches.

Another decent direct in the books. More variety (and less Square Enix) than September
Can we pet the dog Miamoto?
Sega actually lifted a dead franchise from the grave? Has the world turned upside down?
Oddly that I was at the Magic Kingdom at WDW before I saw this.
Now if Russia doesn't do anything stupid this game will eventually release.
Welcome back Level-5. We missed ya.

Zelda fully leaked yesterday on Discord and lots of people were streaming on Youtube, Twitch, and some Chinese stream site. Nintendo murdered a lot of people. And there's already a lot of people misunderstanding what they're looking at and claiming the Zelda timeline makes no sense / is contradicted again. The cutscenes were also datamined but I haven't seen them. Lots of the early streamers were stuck on the tutorial islands and were nuked within a couple hours, but some made it to Hyrule and started streaming only there, and we've seen the first boss. They're mostly playing on emulators btw, some are slow but some managed to make it run fine. Anyway,
Spoiler: general elements, no detail(click to see content)
3 tier map, elemental sages, dungeons, dungeon bosses, and dungeon items (sorta) are back. And we're pretty sure now where in the timeline BotW happens.

No exact release date but after this dlc Game Freak better start getting some rest before the Switch successor launches.
As the name suggests Detective Pikachu is back with more new mysteries to solve. Don't be surprised if a movie based on this game is announced in about a year or two.
New footage shown after premiering at the SGF Showcase.
