Why do you only get to play as predator or marines in that alien game? That was always my complaint.

From the guy who progressively made his own franchises suck over the years. Thanks Pete, you really know what you're talking about. You know what, he should make cars, then we'd have push pedals instead of an engine.

Don't really care if this gets made or not or even comes to the virtual console. As far as I'm concerned, there were more interesting games that got swept under the rug. Its pretty bad that anymore developers have to beg people for money to make a game because the industry is just too damn over saturated with high cost to do anything. The moment sony and microsoft release their new money guzzlers, its going to be the beginning of the end.

Lol, because dominating the last generation sales and having the most successful gaming device of all time (the ds) means you've lost touch.

No, this is just classic fan angst. People with immature desires.

As far as I'm concerned, there are two types of people who write these kind of articles.

Those who want to play Legend of Zelda on xbox/playstation and those who want to play halo/killzone on nintendo.

Its not going to happen. Nintendo is a company you go to for a specific experience and pouring graphical power into a console does not make it good, and if anything its destroying the industry. No one will be able to afford to develop for the new xbox or playstation, so they'll crawl to the Wii-u to survive. Nintendo isn't stupid, people just don't have any common sense to realize what they are doing.

@luminalace

Says the guy with a street fighter emblem.

Street fighter was lame thirty years ago and its lame now.

And crappy games like Gears of War are like aids, they never go away and there is no cure for gritty, crap handling 'realistic' interactive movies like them. They are ruining the industry.

Nextbox and PS4 will fail. Graphics didn't save the PS3, it wont save them. No one is going to buy consoles that require you be online all the time and wont let you play the game unless you are.

All Japanese companies will retreat to the Wii-u for the cheaper development costs. People need to realize this.

Pacther is never right about anything. I don't know why anyone even listens to him. He said the PS3 would outsell the Xbox360 in its first three months (no one remembers this? SERIOUSLY?)

He is full of hot air. Considering that we are going to hit a video game dark ages the moment the Nextbox and Ps4 comes out, Nintendo will be sitting there with all the third party support that can't afford to make games for either consoles (nor will they want too as the moral issues standing behind the concept of never actually owning a game you buy); in the end Nintendo will come out on top.

No one is going to want to buy a console that HAS to be online for you to play your games. It just wont happen. No, its not like steam, steam offers games dirt cheap, Microsoft wants the full sixty dollars, and even then you'l never own the game officially.

Inafune is a lot like Kojima, they like the cinematic feel of American games. I on the other hand can't stand it. I want games, not interactive movies. I think both countries have serious problems with game making. Both are too terrified to step out of the boundaries of what will and wont sell to give anything original a shot.

In the end, in America all we end up making is the same five games every year, so who the heck is anyone to criticize Japan? At least they try to create new franchises/IPs.

LOL!

Seriously? Why are people being THIS dramatic about this? Does no one remember how GOD awful the first year of the DS was? Hell, it didn't have any games worth a damn well into the second year.

Or god forbid; I bring up the first year and a half of the xbox 360. Where I was renting any game I could just so I could make the purchase worth it. It was terrible. Dare I even bring up the first THREE Years of the PS3 and how it literally had nothing and DOESN'T really have anything right now.

Oh and I could always bring up the fact that the Vita has NOTHING as well, despite being out on the market for as long as it has been.

People are just throwing their melodrama at the fans and hoping it sticks, because life would be uninteresting if they didn't.

Daaaaaaaaaaaaang.

He just needs to shut up already. I'm kind of tired of people giving him attention. Just let the little hater go hang out with his hordes of sony fanboys. He needs to understand that monster hunter wont be on any of sony's new systems because they made it too expensive to develope for them.

They need to do this with the Philips CDi, SegaSaturn, and Dreamcast. Something I've wanted for a long time. Yeah, its cool to play all these ancient systems mixed up, but lets play some forgotten systems.

I've learned this the hard way.

Saying something stupid; and then throwing more stupid words at it, doesn't fix it. Just own up to it, or act like it never happened.

They wouldn't have to do this if consumers weren't so stupid.

Its pretty bad that the 3DS is literally selling like crap because people don't realize its a whole new console and not just a DS with 3d features.

The concept of this and the way people believe that this is exactly what is going on is astonishing.

The reality is, he has another job lined up and he is saying to hell with jive ass EA. Same with Iwata if he actually leaves nintendo. They don't leave because poor decisions, they leave because they want to. If the industry fired everyone who made poor decisions, Simon Strange wouldn't still have a job.

And a lot of people thought the PS3 was going to run sony under, it didn't. Also, people forget, nintendo pretty much dominated last generation's sales up until here recently. I think people like to open their mouths about this crap because they think they understand the industry.

But if you had told me, say, twenty years ago that Sega was going to lose out to sony and that nintendo was going to discontinue the gameboy in exchange for a 2 screened system and it was going to destroy everything esle in the market, I would have laughed at you.

The wii-u has longevity. When developers can't afford to make games for the PS4 or the third xbox, they'll turn to nintendo. Just how its going to be.

I see any news about this game I think "this is it, this is when they are going to announce it for the states".

I'm going to be hopeful. Re:digitize is the best selling Ban-nam game released in a long time (actually held the spot for a long time, even when competing with big name games). They'd be stupid not to bring this one over.

@Melkaticox

Point taken. Played Fez, wasn't that impressed by it. Last three great games I've played have been japanese, the last three overhyped pieces of crap I've played have been American.

At the end of the day, when the PS4 and new xbox comes out, and it costs a small fortune of a second world country and six virgins to make a single game, we'll see a lot of companies turning to the Wii-u to make games that have unique interface and cheap developing budget. Just like all the indy game developers go to the PC.

No one is thinking about the future, and just how MUCH damage new consoles are going to do to the industry.

Worst of all, no on is buying new hardware anymore. Not even the newest ipad sold nearly as well as they wanted. Its time for people to realize, that we are in a era in which people one longevity.

@Steveovig

Because a few months is plenty of time to make hundreds of unique games. Your point is moot. "High processors" don't mean crap if no one uses them. Very few games even touched on THIS generations console power, and the few that did will be forgotten the moment their sequel comes out.

Where as Nintendo makes games like Super Mario world and mario 64, that are remembered forever. That is the point I'm making.

Above all, once again, your niave belief that nintendo has the resources to do the same things microsoft and sony does is enough to make me think there is no merit in your argument.

Lets look at it like this. Sony is a multi billion dollar corporation that has made electronics for longer than most people posting here have been alive. Sony has a huge market to fall back on. So what if the PS3 fails, or the ps4 fails, even if they invest way more money than they should into it, they can always fall back on their laptops, phones, tvs, what have you.

Microsoft is a software and hardware developing company that is helmed by some of the richest people in the world. They've even gone on record to say they whole reason they created the Xbox was to just see if they COULD enter the industry. If the new xbox fails, they can fall back on their overpriced crappy software.

What does nintendo have? Games, games and games. If they make a console that FAILS, its huge blow to the company. No one thinks like this, why would nintendo invest time and money into making a pretty console just so sony can wait to one up them later? They will never be able to compete -on that level-. No one understands that. You're never going to get a Nintendo console that will play Crisis, its time to get over it. Its not a huge loss. Above all, explaining this to someone that obviously has no idea or common sense as to how the general industry works is just pointless. I'm happy to have wasted my time.

@DrDaisy

Yeah that terrible strict attitude they have of making games that are just games, not horrible interactive movies. God dang them for making video games and selling them to us!

You know why I hate sony? They spent most of their press conference talking about stupid crap. Like how the cars shine with the new graphical power, how it reflects light, gloss and all that useless crap. It doesn't matter if the game isn't fun. No one talked about how much MORE content they could bring to the games, just how much prettier the could make it.

Devoting huge amounts of time to making game pretty is a waste of effort money and resources. In the end, if a game isn't fun, it doesn't matter. Because the next generation is just going to blow it out of the water, so why matter about graphics? Most games I hear people rave about from the PS1 and 64 days were huge, expansive games for that time period.

Games are tiny by comparison now, focusing mostly on stupid crap that appeals to the non-gamer and the true lightcore player.

@Steveovig

You make it sound like Nintendo has that kind of resources and money. They aren't sony or Microsoft who have things to go back on. It doesn't matter if Nintendo makes a powerful console, the general audience is NOT going to go to nintendo for that type of experience.

In the end, it wouldn't matter even if they DID focus all their resources, because sony would throw some stupid gimmick in at the last minute and win over. Its not worth the time and trouble. I like that Nintendo doesn't try to appeal to the average tom dick and harry developers, and goes for the more unique and innovative ones.

I can live with playing Saints Row on another console, and playing truly unique games on the Wii-u.

I'd be more interested if it offered roms for games you own. Not particular on using old, dusty catrtidges ontop of a handheld to play a console.

Why doesn't someone make a portable dreamcast?

I would rather meet Drummond, but this guy is a LOT better than Griffith. At least he doesn't try to do a crappy Drummond impersonation, he just does a whole different voice.

He doesn't deserve a penny.

This sort of crap is one of the key reason the dreamcast died. Anyone involved with sony is pure evil and should be shot.

I'd rather see more work put into making the game impossible to play at tournaments. That any form of tourney play would cause our wii-u to break. I hate how hyper competitivism essentially ruins these games.

If Bandai Namco has any love for its fans they will bring this over here. They denied us Re-Digitize, and it was their HIGHEST SELLING GAME OF THAT YEAR. What do we get instead? X Zone which was one of their worst selling games of all time.

Yeah Go guys.

@Red_Kinetic

Agreed completely.

Also, nice red-buster emblem.

I find game reviews to be rather pointless. Even on a tight budget, I've noticed that I have, in the past, when I trusted reviewers, let some good games sleep through my fingers while playing some god awful ones. So honestly; I find little or no faith in hearing what another individual says about entertainment media.

Why? Because it is unique to the player. As far as I'm concerned, turn based games are god awful, boring, lobsterboy fair. I love to play fast paced games like Sonic, which other people hate. They don't hate it because it sucks, just like I don't hate turn based games because they suck. Its just different games for different people. Sonic requires timing and skill to play, turn based games require a type of strategizing that just isn't my thing.

So different strokes for different folks. I don't trust reviews, they have lead me down dark paths of over-hyped craptacular games.

Pactor has no idea what he is talking about. He predicted the PS3 would outsell all consoles, that the 3DS would be a console everyone would want and would easily pay 600 dollars for.

No one remembers how he is wrong 80 percent of the time. Remember when he said apple would make a console?

Above all; when the ps4 and the durango come out, and all the japanese companies can no longer afford to develop for such over-compensating consoles; they are going to fall on the wii-u. Its just a fact.

And in this day in age, in which the Wii is still outselling just about every other console, how can anyway say stupid crap like this? The PS3, as horrible as its done, hasn't stopped sony. They are still reeling from the PS2's success. Nintendo dominated last generation with the Wii and the DS (Which might I remind people is the BEST SELLING CONSOLE OF ALL TIME, the DS outsold EVERYTHING ever).

People just want nintendo to go under, they are so enticed by shiny new graphics that all they can think of is how much they want Zelda on the PS4.

Oh my god, someone is selling something, sue them for it.

Said a greedy American lawyer.

Oh yay another... oh wait, Sony doesn't have any games. Trollface.

Platinum was going to buy the property but they wanted too damn much for it. They deserve it for being greedy.

@Yanchamaru

A bunch of whiners is what we have here. Developers and distributors who expect INSTANT lightning in a bottle like the Wii.

Lets all sit back and watch as consoles burn and melt as soon as Sony and Microsoft make it so expensive to develop that only first and second party companies will survive.

The reality is this; nintendo has something else in store, and the Wii-U is kind of like their... PSPGo. I find it disgusting that anyone can make any assumption about a consoles longevity this early in its release. People forget the PSP and DS both had horrible year-long-crap-fests with NO games worth playing.

This is a terrible business practice and they should be ashamed of themselves. All I can really say about it.

@shinokami

If you believe any console making company when they say "lose money on each console sold" you're naive and I feel sorry for you.

I suppose you believed Billy Mays when he told you that you can get all this, a 99 dollar value for 19.95 if you call now?

BOO! HISS! BOOOOOO!!!!

Cloud gaming is a terrible concept. It has nice applications, but I can't stand the idea of not being able to play a game when the internet cuts out. I'm tired of being strong-armed into concepts that other people accept because of the convenience instead of the actual applications.

Imagine if you couldn't watch any of the DVDs in your collection without having a internet streaming device. That is how stupid cloud gaming is.

I want a world where it doesn't cost 15-30 million dollars to make a game.

The video game market was over-saturated this current generation and people will eventually grow tired of all the Killzones and Call of Duties, just like guitar hero and rockband burn themselves out, so will everything else.

Sony and microsoft are banking on some sort of new hardware to take precedence but in reality, its just going to further plummet them into the dust.

Anyone who thinks the PS4 and the next Xbox is going to ruin nintendo is a moron. Considering the facets and the fact that any new console being released will ruin itself.

The industry itself is in a state of disrepair; but I don't think Nintendo, Microsoft, or Sony are hurting at all. Everyone needs to realize that these are projected incomes and net values. This is what the -want to make- not what they -need to make-. Everyone expects lightning in a bottle. You notice companies that are actually struggling don't talk about until like a day or two before they shut down. I.E. Sega.

They just bring this sort of stuff up to put a sense of guilt on the customer market for not going out and buying 3 wii-us and four 3ds-es.

Mark my words, if the PS4 and next Xbox come out next year, it'll be the beginning for the end for gaming in general. You'll see even more third party companies shutting down, there will be nothing but big first and second party companies developing and we'll all be playing the same shallow 3 games remade a thousand times over and over.

Not to mention the price of such an endeavor, how much games are going to cost a piece, and the fact that sony plans to snuff out all rentals and used games sales. No. Nintendo is doing the right thing, they are trying to keep the gaming world alive and the others are trying to mesh it into something that resembles the music industry or film industry. A flipping mess.

Current state of gaming. It is just going to get worse, and if Microsoft and Sony release a new console, it will destroy the industry. It costs way to much to make games anymore and no one even has half an inkling of just how expensive it is.

We should stay on the current console generation for another five years at least, just to finally balance out the expenses it takes to produce quality games. I feel like just as last generation consoles died, they had finally figured out how to make beautifully rendered, well played games... but it was too little too late.

Developers need time to get acquainted with technology and its limitations. Not throw it out the moment they hear the word "NEW!"

No. I don't believe in hyper competitivism or commercial competitivism. Both aspects ruined 'professional' sports, I don't want either invading my medium. This is coming from someone who has won fighting game tournaments in the past. Still don't want it.

My dad once made the analogy to me once, because I think there should be stricter gun regulations; that how would I feel of someone was trying to regulate video games. I should have laughed at him, because they do. To hell and back. American's have their heads of their rumps, and are terrified someone might take their precious guns away. Meanwhile their loved ones are dying of cancer. I'd trade a gun for free medical any-day.

There are all sorts of reasons why this stuff happens.

Mainly boils down to what idiot decides what gets brought over here and what doesn't. Bandai Namco is terrible about this. They bring over garbage like Knights Contract but none of their heavy hitters in Japan. DIgimon World Re:Digitize was the most successful Bandai Namco game of 2012 and held the 3rd most sold copies of a game on a handheld in japan for a week straight before falling into 7th place, still insane numbers. It did great, actually promoted some sales of PSPs and yet... it'll probably not come over here.

The entire concept is brutally disgusting and what drives them is several parts ignorance and fear of taking a risk and a few parts racism. I truly believe that.

I'd rather have a physical object taking up space in my house than pay money for digital keys to unlock crap.

Cough. Bull Cough.

AKA, we don't want to support something that isn't instantly lightning in a bottle so we are going to keep falling on old ideas until they prove to be far to stale to chew, then we'll blame the gamers once again for all of this.

Key to fixing this problem. Tell the console makers to stop releasing new consoles every four-five years and to stick with one for a decade and a half.

I hate Bandai... Bring this crap over but no digimon games.
