I'm so over the GTA series, but it doese suck that there are even more rumors about "big budget" games missing the Wii U.

People's egos lead to dumb decisions... There was likely no reason to treat him with such little respect.

I can't help but feel that these developers are stringing along us Nintendo fans with unrealistic goals.

@MadAussieBloke I would scoop up Chakan in a second, such unique title. I don't think it's ever been offically re-released.

I'm cooled out. Not gonna buy it. Which sucks because I had planned too and this will just Hurt the Wii U's chances even more. Also I think that Assassins Creed III has crappy combat and I really have not enjoyed it, I'm glad I didn't play the other games in the series.

I don't see how the Wii U missing out on shovelware is a bad thing. Get over it, this is not "another sign".

I loved it, I've been planning to write a post on my blog about the top 5 games I play when I want to relax.

Meh... Mario Golf is the only sports game I'm looking forward too.

I can kind of understand Amazon's position and tactic here because they believe they got burned on the DS scratching debacle.

I think the N64 is my favorite console of all time. Every few months I check eBay for a DD, but I just can't pull the trigger on a $800+ artifact. Maybe if I win the loto one of these days I'll pic one up. It would be such a cool conversation piece to have sitting underneath my TV.

The title of this post says it all, I'm glad someone said it!

Ugh. Nintendo needs to make system of software distribution that allows you to: A. Use your software on all their devices (if they have the power)
B. Manage your points/money and recent purchases under one account.

My guess is we'll be seeing a Phil Fish game on the PlayStation sometime soon. What a douche bag, this guy is so annoying.

I just don't understand why marketing is so difficult for Nintendo, they are their own worst enemy.

That's it, he just killed Fez for me I will never pay money to play this game.

I feel like I have no choice but to buy this game because there have been almost zero quality releases recently.

Telling Miyamoto off would have been career suicide. On that note how come we have not seen this game released on the virtual console? That's a day one buy for many I'm sure.

This gives me a solid reason to pick up where I left off with this game. Wish they had added more online features though...

RandomNerds commented on Hardware Review: Oyen Digital MiniPro 1TB Hard...:
It's weird to think that while I'm eligible for the Deluxe points promotion I'm still likely going to buy the majority of my Wii U games from a brick and mortar store or Amazon. I just can't get over titles being tied to my console as opposed to being tied to my Nintebdo network ID. If they fix that I'll go all digital like I have on my PS3.

RandomNerds commented on Team Meat: We'd Work With Nintendo If Meat Boy...:
I've loved the super meat boy team ever since Indie Game The Movie, it may be a bit pretentious to say they'd work with Nintendo only if meat boy was in Smash but my guess is they were probably half kidding and will eventually work with Nintendo. PS it's not cool to talk negatively about small game shops they work hard to bring us unique IPs.

RandomNerds commented on Miyamoto: Mobile Competition Actually Helps Wii U:
The iPad is very mobile and getting more mobile with each iteration. I actually refuse to play iOS games on my iPhone the iPad is a much better experience and should be treated like a serious gaming platform in my opinion.

RandomNerds commented on Wii U Resident Evil: Revelations Will Not Supp...:
RE4 using the Wii Remote a nunchuck was perfect. All games in this genre would do well to use that control scheme. That being said, you have to consider the number of control schemes that are available to developers and understand that it's quite possible to make a mistake and certainly impossible to please everyone. I compiled a list of control schemes here: http://randomnerds.com/2013/02/06/twenty-one-input-methods-for-three-consoles-and-growing/

The Wii U hate train is just nuts at this point. The Console is not perfect, but what console at launch is!? If Nintendo can just stay focused and keep improving the console and its features it should be fine.

I kinda regret picking up those Nintendo Shares the other day… I guess things can get worse

RandomNerds commented on Wii Street U App Finds Its Way to Wii U eShop ...:
Well seems pointless now, it's nice that Nintendo is including something like Google maps because that data cab be used for other features down the road. Pointless or not if Nintendo's going to compete in this next-generation it needs to keep adding more and more features even if only 10% of them are adopted and used.

@FineLerv Same with my My Wii libraby was enourmous compared to my PS3 library.

I hope the local mutiplayer is fantastic, it might be too much to ask for online play though… This is Nintendo we are talking about of course

RandomNerds commented on Rockstar Has "Nothing New" To Report On Grand ...:
Don't care. I totally regret selling my mint N64 at gamestop for a damn PS2 because of GTA III. I ended up rebuying my N64 a decade later. This genre is stale.

"Klobb" @Svengoolie LOL worst gun and worst name.

RandomNerds commented on Talking Point: The Legend of Zelda: Remakes of...:
At the end of the day all I want is to be able to play the digitial versions of these games on all my Nintendo branded devices without having to buy it for each one. Sony did it right, my PSPgo is loaded with classic games that work seemlesly on most Sony products. So yeah go ahead and remake stuff but don't force me to buy it three times.
#47
RandomNerds commented on Latest Figures Show The Video Game Market Is C...:
Perhaps gross sales are shrinking, but gaming only gets bigger, unless of course it's "crashing" like it did two decades ago which it is not. I just think its harder to track this kind of data because of free to play models and pay to play models. Not to mention the enormous amount of ways to game. I bet if you added up all this data you'd find the market is still growing, as in adding new gamers. Though it may be at the expense of traditional methods of gaming.

Techincally that makes it a perfect port

RandomNerds commented on Feature: What You Told Us About Wii U:
@Marioman64 I'd be lying if I said didn't regret doing the transfer. Not to mention I bought a cable that let me use an N64 Controler on the Wii using the Gamecube controller port… That's now over

RandomNerds commented on Review: Blaster Master (3DS eShop / NES):
@WhiteTrashGuy "What is the difference between this and MB: ENEMY BELOW? Almost downloaded it the other day."
I think the MB: ENEMY BELOW was for a handheld, like gameboy color or something. Overall this game is pretty amazing, it can be punishing, but it is great. There was a refresh made on Wiiware it was pretty good too.
