SteveW commented on Feature: The Magic of Console Launches:

memories of the Wii launch wasn't as fun for me... Walmart made us wait outside for the launch and I waited for 13 hours and it was freezing, I would have brought a better coat but never thought they would do that... and I got my Wii shortly after midnight but barely got to play it because the system update on the first night took hours...

Yeah, Nintendo has the largest retro catalog in the world and this is all they can do? disappointing... when VC was announced for Wii years ago I thought I'd be able to download all my favorites but most still aren't available.

@grumblebuzzz - I agree about the backlighting in the older systems but there are 2 versions of the Gameboy Advance SP, one has excellent backlighting, exactly like the 3DS. That's the one I have. It's the model that says improved backlighting on the box cover (something like that)...

SteveW commented on Animal Crossing Tobidase Reaches Japan This Fall:

If they would get rid of the &$%#$ rolling tube type of graphics I would actually buy another Animal Crossing game!!! holy cow are they going to do that when the Wii U version comes out also? so annoying!

Duney - I'm complaing about the Wii shop not the 3DS shop, I don't buy much on 3DS, I'm still waiting on a larger screen version of the 3DS, I can barely stand playing on screens that small. Especially when they take a game meant for a TV screen (NES) and shrink it down... yuck, are those amoeba's I'm shooting in Kid Icarus 3D classic? :)

Nintendo could be seeing our complaints, you never know... if we sit back and say nothing they will assume we are happy and never change.

SteveW commented on Developers: Wii U "Less Powerful than PS3 and ...:

I love the Nintendo Wii, I own every Nintendo console (and a few others) and the Wii has an amazing library of games, where else can we have such a wide variety of games? and not just the games made by Nintendo...Endless Ocean? nothing else out there like it. Tiger Woods with motion plus? no other beats it, I'll take the perfect controls over HD anyday.

So jump ship already Nintendoftw... I for one am looking forward to the new Nintendo revolution all over again :)

@kevinkool123 - if Barbie looks good then count me in! who cares about games being fun?

Everyone complaining about graphics should realize one thing... in 10 years the best graphics we have now will suck, PS3 and Xbox 360 games will look bad, that's the way it will always be.

What game from 20 years ago would you rather play now? a fun one or a Genesis or SNES game with killer graphics? graphics do not hold up over time, gameplay does.

@Nintendoftw: "If Nintendo pulls this crap again then I am officially no longer a NIntendo fan"

umm... you don't sound like a Nintendo fan anyway. The controller is not trash and will bring a whole new experience to gaming. I believe the Wii U will be an amazing system and definitely be more powerful than those two developers make it sound because I've seen comments from other developers saying that it was. Anyway, power does not make a great game, if graphics are the only thing you are concerned about then go watch a blu-ray movie or something...

SteveW commented on Gearbox Wants As Much Wii U Power As Possible:

Nintendo's original goal for the Wii was $99 but due to expensive flash memory they had to raise the price. Flash memory is much cheaper now so $250 is reasonable for the Wii U I think. R&D costs are probably much cheaper for the Wii U also since it uses the same Wii remote technology, sensor bar, etc...

SteveW commented on Gearbox Wants As Much Wii U Power As Possible:

@19Robb92 Why not? NES was more powerful than Master system, SNES was more powerful than Genesis, N64 more powerful than PS1, Gamecube more powerful than PS2 but for some reason everyone assumes that Nintendo consoles are always less powerfull than competitors...

I mean another week without La-mulana, Descent, and Retro City Rampage is a bad week. We have had about 75 of these disappointing weeks so far, the Wii may be dead before they come out.

Not that there haven't been a few good games in the meantime but just compare a week of downloadable releases on Nintendo systems against ipad or xbox 360 (which I don't even own) and you can see just how bad things are in our Nintendo world.
