ThreadShadow commented on Microsoft To Announce Sequel To "Historic" Rar...:

If its PD, they tried that with PD:Zero at 360 launch and no one really cared. They later released PD HD on Arcade and it seems nobody cared about that one either.
Might be Banjo-Kazoo3, or Jetpack "One"? Sabrewulf? Killer Instinct? I don't think there are enough KI fans left for it to be relevant or anything close to a system seller. New people will see the "hokey" characters, combos and blood and just say, "I already own Injustice and MK."
As far as MS is concerned "historic" could refer to Viva Pinata or Kinect Sports!

ThreadShadow commented on Cliff Bleszinski Likens The Wii To A "Virus":

Well, unfortunately it was a true statement, for casuals and soccer moms. After two months the soccer moms were tired of it, put it in the closet and forgot about it. Why? Because they weren't gamers, they caught the fad and then the fad past. But it wasn't a virus to us or to a handful of others. I mean I went to an old folks home and they had Wii Sports night, and my local Library has a Wii day each week. So it has "stuck around" but on the whole, yes, to the "mainstream" it was a virus and the fad and ended like every other fad.

ThreadShadow commented on Tales Producer Says The Series Could Eventuall...:

I guess Nintendo shouldn't bother making games for the Wii U, because they should wait till the Wii U becomes a success, otherwise it's too big a business risk.

Also Namco releases their Tales games for PS3 does a survey and finds out people play Tales games on the PS3. What a discovery!!!

Anyway, I don't care for the Tales series.

@Einherjar Just wanted to give you my support for your post #2. Exactly, right.

In the end I think it doesn't matter what Nintendo does, third-parties will find a way not to support them. They all seem to hate Nintendo for various reasons. Maybe it's Nintendo's quality/work ethic?

ThreadShadow commented on Deep Silver Has "No Plans" To Support Wii U:

I don't care about these games either, but I'd just like to say; isn't it twelve to sixteen year olds who are playing these games anyway? And wouldn't that be the Wii U's market/audience? It would from Deep Silvers comments.

ThreadShadow commented on The Story of an Abandoned Mega Man FPS, Maveri...:

More of Capcom's vengeance on Inafune. Cancelling any and every game he had anything to do with while he was there.

This game should come to Wii U, and Legends 3 should come to 3DS. I'd especially be up for this game since it was armature.

Hey, maybe Nintendo can buy the prototyping and get Armature to finish it as a new Metroid game!

ThreadShadow commented on Nnooo: Australian Ratings System Prevents Indi...:

Speaking of the ESRB. They have become quite lax with their new digital-only games policy. Digital-only games for the most part get only descriptors and not summaries.
Lack of man power? Okay, but please at least give "T" and "M" rated digital-only games summaries as well as descriptors!

ThreadShadow commented on Talking Point: Nintendo Should Make EA Co-oper...:

I disagree with the article. Nintendo doesn't need EA. It's the nature of the Nintendo beast. Nintendo doesn't need anyone to survive, and third-parties need to deal with it.

SquareSoft aggressively ditched Nintendo during the N64 days and Nintendo still survived through N64, to GC, and eventually thrived on Wii. All this while Square was arguably going through a post 16bit golden age.

With Nintendo surviving the loss of a huge Japanese developer I think they can survive and thrive through the loss of "EA".

ThreadShadow commented on SEGA Still Committed To Wii U Despite Aliens:...:

Shame about Aliens CM. I'm sure with a little more work and the patch the PC version received the Wii U version could turn out to be the best.

The only things I could possibly imagine wanting from SEGA are...

Shenmue 3
Shenmue HD collection (should include "What's Shenmue?" demo) (eShop)
Skies of Arcadia Legends HD+ (eShop)
Golden Axe Revenge of Death Adder (arcade game with no console release. eShop with multiplayer intact.)
Crusader of Centy (eShop)
Valkyria Chronicles 4 for Wii U with local co-op campaign, and competitive mode.
Maybe a new game in the "Feel the Magic" series? That was hilarious stuff.

I'm having trouble thinking of anymore SEGA IP that I'd like to see.

ThreadShadow commented on LucasArts Shut Down By Disney:

Thanks a bunch Disney you foolish corporate entity. I was looking forward to Star Wars 1313.
Lucas should have sold the Monkey Island rites to Double Fine! How are we going to get a console release of Monkey Island 3 now?

ThreadShadow commented on Feature: Luigi's Diary - Extracts:

I never understood this whole contrived competition between Mario and Luigi. I don't enjoy it either. The games were always called Super Mario "Brothers", after all.

ThreadShadow commented on No Battlefield 4 For Wii U Because DICE Wants ...:

This is probably mostly due to Nintendo and EA falling out. Most likely EA being as vindictive as possible.

The lead over on gonintendo made a perfect observation. DICE gives out this poor excuse for Battlefield 4 skipping Wii U, and when Battlefield 5 comes out DICE will say "the Wii U can't handle it.".

ThreadShadow commented on Kung Fu Rabbit Comes Out Kicking on Wii U eShop:

Why is Nintendo continuing to use that "Intel Inside" sound effect? They need to use something different. (It's heard when the finger presses the "U" symbol on the Gamepad.) It was heard a lot for DSiware ads too. Annoying because it was used by another company for their tech, and seems cheap for Nintendo to use it too.

ThreadShadow commented on Hardware Classics: NEC PC Engine:

I wish it had had more releases on the VC. How can you have the TG16 VC and not have the Legendary Axe games rattling around? There was a handful never released that I would have liked to see.

ThreadShadow commented on FEZ Creator Insists The Game Wouldn't Work On ...:

The point of the whole game is shifting through a 3D world on a 2D plain. The 3D view is never static, and the gameplay is always presented in 2D, so basically you are taking away the point of the game by giving the 3D world 3D depth when it's resting on the 2D plain.

ThreadShadow commented on EA CEO John Riccitiello Resigns:

EA is still EA, but I'd like to see him resign from the ESRB. The ESRB has turned into an absolute joke with regards to their digital policy. In this day and age when hundreds of games are releasing digital only and they stop giving rating summaries to these. It's just ridiculous. I suppose it isn't just his fault, so ESRB needs to get their act together.
