Clearly, Nintendo is flexing some muscle in only a handful of games, but I can't blame them. They need to make sure the quality of the games are the best it can be. A rushed game could eventually end up like E.T. The Game, after all.
Off TV Play is a big point for Wii U owners, as well as the possibilities of interaction of the Wii U gamepad in games. While I agree with many that it's up to the developers, I think that it's a good form of entertainment rather than a redundant second screen that, as the article claims, should be scrapped. I'd say, keep the gamepad, the possible ways to play are widened with the gamepad.
I don't think it's a bad idea for a series that needs a sequel as much as other Retro titles. If I were to say something, it would be that other games like Starfox are currently in its perfect form, unless the team wants to add something more that makes it a more perfect entry to the franchise.
Apparently, reaching the top of the flag pole isn't so much of an emphasis anymore, rather it's the competitive multiplayer that is the main goal of this series, so between jumping to the top of the flag pole or climbing up with the cat suit, I think it's a fair trade.
As far as I know, StreetPasses can come and go as fast as between a car driving on the road (at slow speeds) and a pedestrian walking along the pavement. I have situations like that in my area.
The whole point of StreetPass is, go out there, meet new friends, and play together. Nintendo by far is one of the best, if not the best, companies that brings people together, not just at home, but also anywhere outdoors.
I really wish to see light from this new "Retro" Armature. They have potential, but they haven't seem to shed off the shadows of their former collaborations, as shown about Maverick Hunter.
Deadlines are the true killers of developers. and publishers alike. If kept realistic, a game would have to be made a success. But there are times where there is too many lioness and too little times. Games are not supposed to have a "release window", they are to be made on its own pace to reach perfection.
This is why the age of cartridges are over, and the age of digital games are fast approaching. People who like to sell used games will not get to sell their games anymore.
Seriously though, some people just love to make games free for all so game companies can suffer. Let's stop that from happening and buy the original games.
Again with the bad strategy. Ubisoft really didn't know the fans, and went global on all consoles. While that has its perks, many fans are already disliking this.
It's not like Ubisoft thinks that console-exclusive games are terrible. I think it may have, while being tight-lipped, something to do with the contract with Nintendo. Even RE:Revelations was a masterpiece before the HD remake on consoles outside the 3DS. Many more games got ported after their successful run in one console.
5% of the consumers only justifies why the original Xbox games are not worthy for backward compatibility. But I'm sure the Xbox 360 games make people want to play them again on the new entertainment console. (And yes, it's no longer considered a gaming console on my book).
People can say Nintendo does not know its fanbase by claiming content ID on YouTube, but I think Microsoft takes this too deep with the game restrictions and not including backward compatibility. Look at the number of people wanting to play franchises like MvC3 and Halo. That would only make people not want your console that's only an add-on to the TV system, and that add-on could have been developed years ago.
@belmont That's harsh, considering you are also hitting Wind Waker and Spirit Tracks, which are very much like Pokemon XY's palette graphics. And yes, I have seen PS1's graphics. Pokemon XY is way better than those games. Don't judge the game by its cover, play it, then tell us what it really looks like.
A few things to hope for: the battle selection screen, new features similar to the Pokemon Contests and more in previous generations, more Pokemon, and the rumoured 18th type for Pokemon.
I never liked Xbox (sorry Xbox fans) because the ABXY buttons on its gamepad are flipped compared to Nintendo's, messing up my button presses. But I like some of its franchises. Now, it appears that Xbox has turned into a gaming + Apple TV mash up of an entertainment system.
Even though PS4 has boosted its sales, it's one of the best consoles ever. But Wii U is the best yet, with the gaming focus and the backward compatibility intact. If I were to choose, I will have PS3 and Wii U, with PS4 on my wish list.
He could have easily brought Nintendo down, effectively destroying the consoles under it. But I'm just glad the guy took up the fixed payment instead of a small pie of every 3DS console sold.
