Aside from always being connected and getting interruption from ppl, what innovation will smartphones delivered to Nintendo titles cuz I seen none? All I know is that it'll make a lot of games feel waterdown compare to how they were if released for Nintendo's own console or handhelds. Imagine playing games like Sin and Punishment (which required both the d-pad and analogs for movements) and F-Zero on a freaking smartphone, the control will be a complete mess.

@The_Joker

Well they do own the IP and the people who made those IP needs those money as well. You could say you might do the same too if someone do a playthrough of one of your games and used your music on it, you can't block them but you sure could throw ads in there so you too could earn some share of the cash which you had full rights to.

Ha they talk about Castlevania and comparing it to Mega Man and how they don't want it to be dead like that series yet they failed to realize they had five dead franchises (Goemon, Contra, Bomberman, Vandal Hearts, & Suikoden) that also needs revival.

@ThumperUK

Actually Yume Kōjō: Doki Doki Panic in Japan was suppose to be a Super Mario game to begin with. The prototype of that game had Mario and all the Mario mechanics and enemies already in the game. Shyguys, Bob-ombs, Wart, Mouser and Birdo were all in the prototype until TV Tokyo bought in to the game and wanted Nintendo to use their characters in it instead. So instead of Mario and gang in the game, the game featured TV Tokyo's characters with the Nintendo's enemies. It wasn't until USA wanted a Super Mario game for NA when Nintendo finally turn the prototype into the actual Super Mario Bros. 2 that we know and love. Yes Super Mario Bros. 2 was not altered from Doki Doki Panic, it was completed from the prototype version.

Originally Super Mario Bros. 2 in Japan was suppose to be an expansion for the original game but since Super Mario Bros. 2 got turn into Doki Doki Panic over there, they just turn that expansion into Super Mario Bros. 2 instead.

Actually it will end up being more indie-dev than anything. Mostly all the hot games that are coming for it are mostly indie-dev games. It's sad too cause almost all the brand name retail games (Call of Duty, Resident Evil, Street Fighter, Final Fantasy, etc.) are becoming nothing but milked rehashes nowadays.

As a Sony developer for many years, of course these guys will say they won't support a competitor's console and now since they are working for the worst company in the USA (EA) on FUSE, which also doesn't support Nintendo, it's likely that won't change anytime soon.

@SCAR392

Those adapters that allows you to play NES and Genesis games for Super NES does work on a real Super NES (since I own both), the problem is they work kinda iffy at times. The NES adapter works better but games like Castlevania III and Rad Racer look like crap on it. The Genesis adapter is the worst, some games will have mess up pixels, will constantly freeze from time to time, and some won't even had music or sounds at all. Also Sonic 2 for the Sonic and Knuckles lock-on doesn't work using the adapter for some reason and Virtua Racing won't work at all. I say don't bother with them, just buy a real NES & Genesis instead.

All I hear from this article is more "Yeah we want Nintendo to be like all the rest" and less "We want Nintendo to be different." The best thing about Nintendo is because they're different, ppl just don't want to accept those differences. Also does the fact that Nintendo had their own handheld already guaranteed that they won't make games for mobile devices.

Two things that bothers me about VC games whether Wii, Wii U, or 3DS.

1 - They don't offered any new or advance features other then just a simple rom. A few 3DS VC had save states as were some Wii VC titles too but there should be more options likes the option to remap buttons, filter visuals, online play, etc.

2 - Some games were priced unreasonably high compare to their used physical copy. Games like Donkey Kong Jr. Math and Urban Champion shouldn't cost $5, they should be at around $0.50 - $1.50 at the most.

Seems like Mega Man will never evolve, there are so many 8-Bit Mega Man games out there that the only Mega Man games I think that actually did evolve were MM7, MM8, MM & B, and the arcade games which is sad considering I want more games like those.

I bet only a few certain areas would look the same (Kakariko Village and maybe Hyrule Castle), I'm sure Nintendo may surprise us with some new areas or dungeons to explore. Many gamers once thought Super Metroid starts the same as the original Metroid and would go the same path too then behold after getting the morph ball and entering Jungle Brinstar, the re-exploration began. The map had evolve 3x larger than before, I think A Link to the Past 2 will be quite like that.

Touch heh. Well considering I own five games (New Super Mario Bros. U, Nintendoland, Call of Duty: Black Ops II, Warriors Orochi 3, and Monster Hunter 3 Ultimate) on Wii U which plays a lot similar to games I already had for the Wii (New Super Mario Bros. Wii, Wii Sports Resorts, Call of Duty: Black Ops, Samurai Warriors 3, and Monster Hunter Tri), maybe.

The reason why Nintendo called it Family Computer was because the console was made for everyone to play, even the young and old. Most ppl nowadays just want Nintendo to grow up when really they need to grow up, Nintendo is for everyone, not oneself.

retro_player_22 commented on Nintendo Sends Direct Wii U Marketing Message ...:

One of the main reason why most ppl are still stupidly think this is an upgrade was that the changes from Wii to Wii U aren't major enough. The games coming out are most or less similar to games on Wii and the console design itself look very much like the Wii plus the same lazy logo. In the retro days from transitioning from NES to SNES, Nintendo not only change the console design but its controller and logo too, ppl could tell the difference between the NES & SNES, not many nowadays could see the difference between Wii & Wii U. Of course some ppl just don't due to the Wii U also being backwards compatible meaning every features on Wii still works on Wii U thus making Wii U feel more like an upgrade instead of a new console itself which is sad.

I don't see why Kirby Super Star Stacker can't be released on over here considering it's just a puzzle game. Nintendo could pretty much just translated some of the words and release it as an import release like Sin and Punishment was for Wii's VC.

@Pod
Metroid Prime Hunters: First Hunt was a free playable demo that was given to everyone who bought the launch phat DS though the levels and challenges from the demo was not in the final game, the main features it incorporated were included. The Aliens: Colonial Marines demo; however, wasn't like that, most of the unique gameplay features seen in the demo didn't make it to the final game.

I like Sonic 4 but that game was never fully complete so it's kinda disappointed to me. I hope they just make a new Sonic game using the same gameplay mechanic as in Sonic Generation where in one aspect you're playing the level in 2D but another you're playing in 3D, no on-rail foot sprinting.

@citizenerased
They announced that they had no plan to incorporate those in the gen they are currently in, that doesn't mean they won't incorporate it in the next gen. They announce no Online multiplayer for GameCube but Wii later support that, no DLC for Wii but Wii U support that, same for no multimedia support for GameCube. Even though Nintendo won't support those features in the gen they announce, that doesn't mean third party won't take advantage of that like Sega for Phantasy Star Online series (online multiplayer) on GCN and Capcom with Mega Man 9 & 10 (DLC) on Wii. Wii U may not support cloud gaming of any kind, that doesn't mean the next Nintendo console won't though.

He probably says impossible cause he don't know what else to do with the series, something like making the series evolve into a huge 3D RPG adventure or make it into a glorified epic HD RPG masterpiece but instead he choose to killed the series. I feel the Mother series ended too soon, he could of at least remake one of them in HD for this gen.

retro_player_22 commented on Wii U System Update Is Now Live:

The Rayman Legends app was awesome and this update improve a lot. I could only hope Nintendo merge the Wii menu with the Wii U menu so we don't have to flip-flop back and forth, same for the Wii Shop and Wii U eShop channel.
