I might pick it up. I really want to, but I'm still undecided on which Wii U game I should pick up next. I have Nintendoland, MH3U, and Injustice, and I'm thinking about getting one of the newer ones. I've heard bad things about Fast & furious, and I already have Lego Batman on my Wii so those two are out. It's between Resident Evil Revelations or this...

HeatBombastic commented on EarthBound Listing Materializes on Amazon UK:

@Jayvir Sly, Jack, and Ratchet are already in 3D, Earthbound is not.

3D doesn't actually matter, but it makes sense, right? Not to mention they've already done a package on the Game Boy Advance.

If it's a triple-pack with new 3D models and tweaks, that would be amazing. Plus it would explain the price to an extent.

@belmont I have no idea what your talking about. Playstation graphics?Are we really going to compare the two?

I mean just look at it.

A common reply would be "It's just opinion, you jerk, respect it". I know it's your opinion, it doesn't mean I can't disagree.

It really looks nothing like a Playstation game, did you see a low res video or something?

I'm going to stick with the Wii U only, unless they're some exclusives I really like. Knack looks great to me, but one exclusive isn't enough!

I never had a Microsoft console, so I maybe I'll buy one. Then again, it probably won't have many JRPG's... I'll need to see what games will be on the platform first, but for now, I'm with the Wii U.

HeatBombastic commented on Day One Resident Evil Revelations Update Adds ...:

There's four games being released in North America like what happened in March.

I only bought MH3U in March.

I still want to buy some older games, but I want to pick up at least one of these. I also need to pick up 3DS games. Arrgh, too many games.

@NINTENBOY

#1 To let people keep their games from the Wii shop. Nintendo would need every developer who made/ported a game on the Wiiware and VC to completely be on board on day one. Considering that many of the studios have closed down, I doubt that could've happened.

#2 To spread the VC releases day 1. If they bomb us with all the games on all Nintendo systems ever, do you really think the novelty and excitement would be bigger? No, it'd be a big mess like browsing on the Wii shop.

#3 No multi-touch, and they'd need 25% percent of the developer's who developed games for tablets permission to do that. It costs money, and many of them are foreign, or got shut down.

#4 I'm pretty sure you can cancel your download. BTW you did get started, you said it was annoying.

#5 I'd like that too, but what has that got to do with the e-shop itself?

#6 Wii "Speck" came late in the Wii's lifetime. Using Miiverse to start party chats would take away the charm of miiverse. Remember, this is not PS3 or Xbox, it's the Wii U. I'd still like a feature like this, though.

#7 Camera in the front of tablet allows facecams. Why would they even want a camera on the back? It doesn't need one, and it's not a smartphone, so don't treat it like one.

You actually think the share button is a good idea? Um, okay. BTW it doesn't upload straight to Youtube, just to Sony's special social network. Sony is handling video sharing horribly, from what I'm seeing in the info so far. What makes you think Nintendo will do better?

@Deadstanley I 90% agree with you and SpaceKappa.

While I would love to be assured that I can just redownload all of my games in case of my Wii U breaking, I can see why they didn't do it.

They're probably afraid of people putting their account on other systems and redownloading their games so others can play it.

Still, I want dat assurance.

HeatBombastic commented on Rumour: Wii U Sold Less Than 40,000 Units In N...:

@Peach64 I'm pretty sure the Wii got Pandora's Tower in April, but I doubt that would've helped sales.

We did get teasers and trailers in January, and there's the even bigger games being shown off at E3. But none of them exactly confirmed for 2013 except for Pikmin 3 and Wonderful 101. So in a way, you are correct.

Please stop disregarding Other M as a non-Metroid game.

The gameplay (i.e. combat, movement and such) was decent if not above average. The story would sound alright if you were given a brief summary.

The problem with the game was the execution of narrative. It was downright horrible, and you know what I'm talking about if you played the game. Go watch the Extra Creditz episode if you want to know more about what I'm talking about.

I think this actually proves what Warren Spector has been saying; putting focus on the quality of the narrative can matter greatly. If it was simply all about the gameplay and narrative doesn't matter, people wouldn't complain about the game in the first place.

Of course, many of you may reply to me about to cry the name of Mario to prove me wrong. Mario doesn't focus on a story, and some even argue it doesn't count as a story. Metroid: Other M tried to have a deep story, but they didn't put enough focus for quality in telling that story.

HeatBombastic commented on Talking Point: Nintendo's Mixed Week With Wii ...:

Yes, it means competition, but competition is good. Just because people are playing their 360s more than Wiis, does not mean they're going to buy a 720. Many who were playing PS2 bought the Wii first.

Consumers don't just stick to one brand, unless they're invested consumers

HeatBombastic commented on Talking Point: Nintendo's Mixed Week With Wii ...:

The lack of hype for the Wii U for Wii U already latched on to the other consoles (Not really latching, it's just less excitement for all of them). People actually think they mean big time trouble for Nintendo?

Most casual consumers will not see the point in buying a new console that has no obvious defining new features other than better graphics, and new games (Unless there's a crazy killer-app like Wii Sports).

I predict all 3 will have bad start due to the horrendous state of the economy, and perhaps lack of decent advertising and publishers being too afraid of putting games on there.

HeatBombastic commented on Talking Point: Nintendo's Mixed Week With Wii ...:

Why do people think that if it doesn't sell like the Wii, it'll sell like the gamecube?

Nintendo has gained tons of hardcore fans from the wii. Just ask on Miiverse what console people had during 6th gen, most I've asked said PS2, and no gamecube. How did they gain fans? Since the Wii was a must have, people who got PS2 and then got Wii (because they must've got what was hot at the time) and started to get much more attached to gaming.

It might sound like this has no significance, but I'm certain Nintendo has gained a plethora of new fans from the Wii, even of it meant losing some "hardcore dudebros real gamers".

HeatBombastic commented on Senior EA Employee Caught Out Criticising Wii ...:

I can handle criticism, but this is just lies and exaggerations.

I don't even think that this can be stretched to even the broadest definition of opinion.

This is what he declares as fact. Yes, people say "this is good" as in "I like it" even though those are two different things. I don't know if he's getting paid or whatever, but these unprofessional comments were a completely stupid action to take. Not just opinion, I think people can generally agree with me on that.
