Games that have a major multiplayer focus are normally tied to a console based on a friends list or gamer score or the like. So there would need to be a huge reason to switch systems. Since my friend and I already own 3DS' I'll be getting it for 3DS.
I think Nintendo is just getting those "evergreen" titles out there to maintain good sells for the full life span of the system. So we won't be getting to many mario overloads in the coming years,...I hope.
I think you should have taken the sales of both the wii and gamecube versions of twilight princess for that time frame, I'd bet skyward sword sold less. And I think it was the appeal, the water color look and heavy motion controls probably made a lot of people think twice. There's also the lack of heart pieces, starting with 6 hearts and finding two heart medals cut out 20 pieces. That's 20 side quests and cave that could have been there.
I know it won't happen, but if they went kind of down the line of SM64DS and you could play as Mario, Luigi, Wario, and Waluigi, and they all played differently, then I might see a reason to get it, if now, I hardly played the wii version and I still have the DS version plus VC, plenty of 2D Mario to play.
I've been pulling away from Mario for about 3 years now. I'll still enjoy playing them for awhile, but I don't look forward to them and Mario games normally go down my list of games to buy where things like kid icarus take the higher spots.
these will be the 8th and 9th pokemon rpgs for the ds. How many other pokemon games on the ds, the ranger games, dash, trozei and so many others. at least 15 on quick count.
I hardly got through black I was so burnt out on pokemon. We'll get this next year as the last breath of the DS, after I thought black and white already were. If all it does is continue the story with a couple special forms of pokemon I already own, I'll pass.
I get that it's a tease, but sounds more like he's making clear that the franchise will continue. If you remember at E3 there was the "if skyward sword isn't the best zelda game, we might stop making them" statement, and it wasn't. Let me clear that up, wasn't the best ratings wise. Of course personal opinions vary.
If you're talking straight money, if they just put the games on the e-shop with a working multiplayer, that should make a lot more money than retail remakes.
It be funny if they surprised us by showing it at E3 but stopped the footage halfway in letting us now that what we saw was ps360 and then showed us the wii u version, just to drive home the power difference. I can't think of a better game to do it.
I think Nintendo's method works better. Buy the game new so you can register it in club nintendo and get free stuff. EA could do something like that, instead of locking the multiplayer they could add stuff like general pre-order bonuses. The 25 different pre-order bonuses per game I'm guessing will be another talking point in the future.
online pass is pure greed. in order to buy a game used, it had to be bought new and then sold. the publisher already made their money for the game. If you buy a dvd, you don't need to pay to rewatch it. If they didn't want used sells to be an issue, make the games download only for full price for a few months and drop the price over time. Or they could all get together and buy up game stop and all the other guys.
I think they should have gone with the touch screen for turning and selecting weapons. Like most shooters. It's fun though, I just need to get my friend to buy it.
I'm kind of surprised to not hear MMO, all I really want in the next one is full open 3d worlds, I'm tired of sprites, and to be able to trade over all my pokemon from black quickly, as I do have one of each. One more, high level wild pokemon. I hate getting to the high 80s and 90s and battling wild pokemon 400 times to level up once. Every RPG has that issue though.
That's great, but I'm still waiting for the fatal frame games. I figure they're trying to get publishing rights to one and three to have a full hd collection on wii u, I hope I'm right.
as a point of comparison I re watched e3, and they mentioned by the end of the year there would be both demo and trailers on the 3d, but they made no mention of demos in japan.
how about a spin off where you play in a squad of galactic federation soldiers that are sent around the galaxy to take care of small space problems so samus isn't need to be called in? more of an fps in that universe that doesn't mess with the time line or established characters.
how about throwing in ship combat, like going into a planets core and shooting your way out or trying to escape a collapsing star and having to avoid total planets as you rocket off.
I don't want to play 2D games on home consoles, but handehelds are fine, do a world, put it down, come back later. I can't stand running and jumping for hours on end anymore, that's all I did in the mid 90s. New super mario bros. I've finished 100%, but the Wii game I just rushed through it with the cannon.
only real new content I'm seeing is boss challenge. better graphics and controls are just going to make this the best version to have, but it's still just a better version of a game I've played a dozen times
