Anything that can rejuvenate the Mario Kart franchise after MK7 is fine by me.

There are the eshop titles. That and PSN are great places for original content.
They're both great for different reasons. I like Nintendo's slew of puzzle games and platformers. I like Sony for they're artsy and experimental fare.

@moroboshi
Wow. Of course you'd come to a Nintendo site to say that. Both Nintendo and Sony are responsible for awesome games. Both companies can be accused of sequelitis. Can't we all just get along?
On topic: I'm hoping for some hot new asymmetric multiplayer modes for Mario Kart. Please don't hold back this time Nintendo. Don't skimp on the creativity.

This would be a cool collaboratio, just like Atlus and Intelegent Systems.

Don't see your point. Sakurai has nothing to do with Mario Kart.

People always look at Nintendo as not supporting 3rd parties when actually they have formed major partnerships with major Japanese devs.
Atlus
Namco Bandai
Tecmo Koei
Capcom
Square Enix
Sega
If only they could strike deals with western devs...

brandonbwii commented on Senior EA Employee Caught Out Criticising Wii ...:
EA is very very business. Sure all games are business but EA is to a fault. EA's Wii games sold modestly well but since they couldn't sell, like a bajillion copies on the system it was considered a failure.
I also hate what EA has done to Fuse aka Overstrike. Obviously selling a shooter that doesn't take itself seriously was considered to risky. Now it looks like every other game out there.
It's not like Ubisoft, who can lose money and still somehow support Wii U.

At least this jerkstore was honest. Of course honesty is bad for business.

It's on Wii U. I don't think there is a such thing as selling good.

brandonbwii commented on Dylan Cuthbert of Q-Games - Nintendo and Wii U...:
I agree with some points @peach64, I have to say Nintendo published 3rd party games DO count. If Nintendo didn't publish them, then the chances of them coming would be slim.
So you don't like games like Wii Fit, it doesn't mean it's bad and I can't wait for Wii Fit U or something to release and then we'll have that silly "casual" argument when it sales millions.
I personally don't like Pikmin all that much but my argument is moot since there is a fanbase who does.
As for what I do agree with is the Nintendo cycle. Aside from the occasional 2nd party surprise they're quite predictable.
Also imo not all 1st party games are winners. I didn't like many Nintendo games on DS but it still became my favorite system due to, believe it or not, 3rd party support.

I hope this makes it. While maybe a bit too many games strive to be retro, this is one of the few I've seen that looks like it can hold it's own.
#14
brandonbwii commented on Dylan Cuthbert of Q-Games - Nintendo and Wii U...:
You make a few valid points, it just feels like your taking a dump on everything Nintendo. You're right, Nintendo mainly delivers the same franchises. I personally don't mind if Nintendo doesn't make new franchises.
Note that I consider "franchise" different from "IP". It was cool to revitalize Kid Icarus or the Excitebike series for 1 or 2 games. Do we really want Nintendo to COD these series?
The same goes for what they release on eShop. There's already sequels that released less than a year apart (Pushmo/Crashmo, Denpa Men etc.) I prefer them try something new more the time and not rely on a sustainable franchise.
SCEJ is a good example of "NEW" most of the time.
#15
brandonbwii commented on Dylan Cuthbert of Q-Games - Nintendo and Wii U...:
What does it matter if a new IP is developed by EAD or not. Isn't it enough to just have quality games from Nintendo owned studios/partners?
That's like saying Sony doesn't count unless it's SCEJ/Team Ico.
#16
brandonbwii commented on Dylan Cuthbert of Q-Games - Nintendo and Wii U...:
"Nintendo doesn't make new IP, Wii Sports doesn't count cause it's not core. eShop doesn't count cause they're niche."
There's opinions, then there are no win situations. Can't believe people actually entertained geo's comments on this post. Stop feeding him.

What form of Zod is coming? The one that's been in the Superman movies and Smallville series or the Russian version I sometimes hear about?
Don't read to many comics unfortunately.

@silverbullet
To add to that Wii U doesn't have the most convenient DLC system ever. It's so awkward that I wouldn't be surprised devs are scared that the not-big-enough-yet fanbase will just ignore it.

I don't think Nintendo considers Pikmin to be a "major" franchise. Great for fans because that means Nintendo can release another AAA title shortly afterward.

Good grief @Wilord you can't possibly be serious. Not liking Kickstarter is one thing but to want Nintendo Life to not post the stuff is annoyingly juvenile.

Wow, everything in Blossum Tales is so tiny.
#22
brandonbwii commented on Rumour: Nintendo Planning a 3D Mario Release o...:
Somethings gotta give though. Nintendo never oversaturates the market with major titles. Remember that Wind Waker is supposedly coming out in October. One of these games has to be for March 2014.
I'm guessing Wind Waker will be delayed til March since everyone needs new Mario themed system sellers.

Because it doesn't take advantage of the systems capabilities aside from off-screen play.
There's no problem with that per se, but it would be nice to see some outta box thinking for Wii U.

Yeah DS was an FPS powerhouse. I'd like to see more western development along the lines of that new Batman game and the Skylanders series. What ever happened to the COD titles?
Still, like everyone else I'd love to see all of Level 5's library and a Dragon Quest 7 localization.

I hate the whole rush to more power way the industry is going. Sure visuals offer some innovation, but so do various input methods.

brandonbwii commented on Developer Interview: Renegade Kid Tells Us Mor...:
The thing that makes me nervous is the episodic structure. I'm not against it but that structure mainly works due to having a strong story.
As someone who played and enjoyed their 3 FPS's, I can easily say story telling is not Renegade Kid's strong points.
#32
brandonbwii commented on Talking Point: An Open Letter To Nintendo:
I bought both Lego City and NFS. Both were surprisingly disapointing. Yet in the last two months I've enjoyed Fire Emblem and Luigi's Mansion.
Why is 3DS so strong while Wii U suffers? There are a handful of games I enjoy on Wii U.
But the only game I truly find special is ZombiU. That's the sole killer app imo and I figure there won't be a game that takes advantage of Wii U like it does for a LONG time.

@Thomas
I believe I heard in a vlog that this is the spritual successor to Dementium. You're likely right it's a survival horror game (the fact that one of the screens show a headstone bodes well for the horror theory too.

brandonbwii commented on Talking Point: Wii U eShop Discounts Show It's...:
I always felt Nintendo not discounting 1st party games allows for 3rd party and especially indie games to succeed.
As much as we complain (present company included) Nintendo could charge nearly double for their titles and we'd still buy them. That's just the power of Nintendo product.
#41
brandonbwii commented on Talking Point: The Problem With 'Old' Wii U Ports:
The thing is, Tomb Raider, even if ported later, would still sell better than Deus Ex since it's more of a household name.

brandonbwii commented on Review: ATV Wild Ride 3D (3DS eShop):
@renegadejools
Saying one of the best racing games on 3DS is not saying much. I mean aside from Mario Kart what other quality racer does the system have? That Face Racer game that everyone lamblasted?
#47
brandonbwii commented on Review: ATV Wild Ride 3D (3DS eShop):
I never noticed too many glitches in the DS version. I found it to strike some sorta middle ground between SSX awesome to ATV shovelware.
The reason to get this is mainly for the cool nitro system, and now online play. I'll double dip once I get the funds.
#48
brandonbwii commented on Review: ATV Wild Ride 3D (3DS eShop):
So is this game glitchier than the DS version?
#49
brandonbwii commented on Feature: Series Reboots That Have Divided Gamers:
I agree with Ren. Except for maybe Castlevania, none of these are true reboots. Most of the REAL reboots are on other consoles like DMC and Mortal Kombat. Though there was Silent Hill back on Wii.
While the list does contain new takes on old franchises, they're far from 'reimagined'.
#50
brandonbwii commented on Feature: Series Reboots That Have Divided Gamers:
Non-Nintendo ones include Tomb Raider and Splinter Cell Conviction.
