I'm a fungi

Male, United States

While I am a gamer, most of my time goes into computer animation, which I am very passionate about. It's so hard to find the time to play videogames AND animate when you have the stressful school work to deal with...

ianmage1 commented on First Impressions: Super Mario 3D World:

@Yoshi3DS They already started this pattern a long time ago with the original Super Mario Land> Super Mario World> Super Mario Galaxy> and then the Super Mario UNIVERSE that we were all expecting this to be.

Super Mario Galaxy is already 3D, so I don't think this new "3D series" has any reason to continue. They must be making Super Mario Universe... until then, I'll gladly play Super Mario 3D World.

ianmage1 commented on Nintendo Won't Be Holding A Large-Scale Press ...:

I am slightly disappointed, because I really was hoping that Nintendo would have an epic reveal of the next Zelda game for Wii U; my hopes of seeing a reaction similar to the one with the revelation of TP are now crushed. At the same time, last year's E3 was weak and some of the Nintendo Directs were more exciting. I have a good feeling that we might actually get some downloadable demos of revealed games to compensate for the lack of a stage presentation. At least I hope so... heck, that would be more exciting than any past E3.

Definitely going to buy this. It seems that whenever I'm away from home, I come up with a good song idea, but I don't have my computer and composing software to take note of it, causing me to forget the idea. That price seems very reasonable to me.

ianmage1 commented on GameStop: Wii U Will Need Great First Party Ti...:

I can't stand the marketing for the Wii U. If people still think that the Wii U is an accesory for the Wii, isn't it obvious that Nintendo needs to advertise it with a clear message that "This is not a Wii; it's an entirely new console with HD graphics and a gamepad." Something as simple as that would be enough to get the message across.

Of course first party titles will sell this system. Mario Kart, 3D Mario, HD Zelda, and SUPER SMASH BROS. will be crucial. I'm still waiting for a good Wii U game...

ianmage1 commented on Pachter: Wii U Will Sell Between 30 to 50 Mill...:

I can't believe he thinks the PS4 or "Durango" is going to sell almost the same number of units as the Wii did. If the PS3 and Xbox360 never came close, why would consoles of this generation have a better chance at doing so? If anything, consoles of this generation should be expected to sell fewer units, given the high prices of consoles and games.
And, basically, anyone who predicts the number of units sold, before the freaking console is even RELEASED, has no common sense.
Does he think the Wii U's sales are going to stay constant? Just wait until the next Zelda, 3D Mario, and SSB (that one especially) are released for Wii U; the sales will increase like crazy. Look at how the 3DS started; it had no good games at the start, but once the first party exclusives came out, it became the best selling console in Japan. I predict the same thing will happen with the Wii U.

ianmage1 commented on Disney Infinity Developer Would Like to Includ...:

Maybe if Star Wars and Marvel had been part of Disney for a longer time, but it just seems awkward to include them right now; some people would be really confused, as Star Wars and Marvel really weren't part of the Disney canon. I still can't accept LucasArts and Marvel as Disney; they're completely separate from the Disney that I have known. Keep these characters out, please.

ianmage1 commented on Disney Infinity Heading to Wii U, Wii and 3DS ...:

I'm glad to see the Tangled references.

If this game is taken seriously and literally has every Disney concept that ever existed, this game to could be insane. But it could easily be a failure; I hate the figurine idea...

ianmage1 commented on Final Nintendo Power Cover Pays Homage To Firs...:

I've never wanted to cry over a magazine before! :'( It has such a huge legacy.
I think I'm gonna have to buy one from the newsstand, because there's no way I'm going to open my subscriber edition; it's going to be so valuable.

ianmage1 commented on Hardware Review: Wii U:

Seriously, the Wii U is the console that Nintendo should have released back in 2006, not the Wii. I absolutely love the Wii U.

ianmage1 commented on Watch: First US Wii U Advert Appears:

I thought the graphics at the end (all the blocks making a "U" formation) were pretty great, but they need to stop making it look so "casual." They need to show games like ZombiU, COD, etc. if they want it to appeal to everyone. When I saw that singing game... :I

Generally speaking, adverts need to stop showing people smiling so gayly; it looks so fake and stupid. But maybe that's just me...

ianmage1 commented on Pachter: Expect a Wii U Price Cut Next Year:

If Patcher was my friend, I'd have him say things that I don't want to happen so that the opposite happens. Like... he could say, "You will never win the lottery!" and then I'd win the lottery. XP

ianmage1 commented on Talking Point: Nintendo's Digital Pricing:

I will only download a digital copy if it's a game that I would play often, at any time. For example, when SSB3D comes out (a long time from now), I will probably download it. But other than that, I'll stick with physical copies. I would probably have to buy a huge SD card if I went with the digital downloads...

ianmage1 commented on Bing Gordon: Nintendo's 'On Track' to Primaril...:

I can't believe it's coming down to this. Nintendo, the leading innovators that made the most iconic videogame franchises of all time, becoming a software-only company? People are always saying that Nintendo makes great games and that's what's most important, but the games are only great if they run on the consoles that Nintendo made for them. I would never want to play Mario or Zelda on a Sony, Apple, or Microsoft platform; that would feel like a downgrade to me...

ianmage1 commented on Iwata Expects Wii U to Last a Generation:

"I would have loved to see Zelda or Metroid or some of my favorite Nintendo franchises, which I didn't see."
Man, you should consider how terrible your E3s are in comparison to Nintendo's...
