@dungeonmaster11 alot of perspective here, i think quite a few devs are going through this without saying it , especially those indies using kickstarter. well said.
Im a fighting game fan, but a few more factors are hurting the wii u in this genre, like an affordable arcade stick, the only one I found was the tekken tag 2 stick @ 160 bucks! no thanks
instead of running out there full steam with a AAA title,why arent devs takiing the eshop into account and making something cost effective and entertaining, all the while; getting creative juices flowing with the gamepad and getting revenue .
low risk investment, easy stepping stone to gamepad and wiiu achitecture, and puts them in the spot of developer that cares, increasing the chances that next game will sell even better.
this is sad, I thought they only bought the starwars ip not LucasArts/Films completely. hope those guys move on to disney interactive/buena vista games, loved to see them help with future kingdom hearts games.shame.
@Lopezdm i agree, this is the key problem in the industry right now, budget stability. AAA games ( like tomb raider) are turning 3.4 million units in one months time with still very unsatisfactory profits. if nintendos approach with "lower tech" , which it really gives devs strong tech with the ability to really push old/cheaper engines in new ways, works , it can be very benefical.
alot of overreactions to the MercurySteam castlevania going on here, people acting like they made superman64 for the 3ds or something. To me its a refreshing take on retro castlevania, especially after 7 games of metriod-vania.
i think many of these publishers are thinking that wii owners that upgraded to Wii U didnt own a 360 or ps3, the thing is wii went coupled with most gamers that had one or the other. Simply, these ports are far too old and to pick them up at "new" prices when they can be gotten for a third or less of the price for the other consoles in this kind of economy is a no-brainer that itll lead to poor sales.
lol...cliffy is just some dude that wished he worked for nintendo. i remember him saying he wanted to do naughty things to the psp, and that nintendo has turned in to the R&D department for the videogame industry, all coming from a guy thats pumped nothing but shooter games since... and uninspired cookie cutter game engines.
@HaNks i agree, i have huge hands and still rock a ds phat for that reason, it has a full controller layout, micro trigger buttons suck. i have the OG 3ds and cant play it for too long before my hands start hurting
the 6 player online thing might have to do with the nintendo network / wifi connection data rate, i think its called Nifi, i read about it reading looking for ds port tunneling on xlink kai.
I think this is going to be a reoccurring trend in the industry, its been to hard to bank on one console for sometime now. It sucks but expect to see alot of this when the MS and Sony consoles drop too. 3rd party exclusive arnt economicly viable anymore. Nintendo has already started by combining their handheld and console division in to one development sector as well as trying to have mutliple dev engines working system wide for easier porting.If companies dont do this they'll be joining THQ in a few years. In the end the stage has already been set for the next generation sales tactics, were just getting the first glimps.
everybody is crying a river about the Wii U, just wait until E3 and everybody will be singing a different song and having discussions about what game to play next especially after seeing nintendos major titles in HD for the first time with a level of creativity the industry rarely sees these days.
I think nintendo is a great position with its low end tech approach, i see alot of developers and publishers getting sticker shock when it comes to creating something for ps4/720 and will come running back to nintendo consoles when its cheaper and the install base is solid. Graphics matter when it cost too much to make them.
developers today are lazy, i dont remember companies complaining about porting to the gen/md and tg16 when their controller had 3/4 LESS BUTTONS then the super nintendo
it might be weird, but i shrink my web browser until the video is the relative size of the 3ds screen, then i watch it. I feel like it gives me a more realistic comparison of the graphics, this game looks awesome.
too much hype for me, get ready to be disappointed.
I really dont want to see another 100 or so pokemon ,650 is enough, just open up /connect the maps already, thats my favorite part about G/S/C,just do it for all 5 gens and make a billion dollars.
leave the FTP games on PCs, I've had a hard enough time tolerating the dlc mess this past console generation made, nickle and diming people to death for small stuff that should already be in the game.
