Re: Nintendo Direct: Watch The Wii U Direct Presentation Live

AbeVigoda

I can only assume that at E3, Nintendo will also have to show us a little bit of the new Zelda Wii-U game, at least some images or character models in a video package. This E3 will be a huge one for Sony and Microsoft, so I wouldn't be suprised if Nintendo is holding their cards close to their chest and that the new Zelda game is further ahead in development than they let on.

Re: Wii U Direct Scheduled For Tomorrow

AbeVigoda

I'm guessing its info about wii-u games we already know about, a couple smaller eshop title announcements, wii-u OS updates (VC?) and maybe a couple teases for upcoming big releases, without showing any footage or naming them outright.

Re: Ubisoft Open To The Idea Of ZombiU Sequels

AbeVigoda

I've put 25-30 hours into the game so far (three play throughs) and only experienced one glitch (my character got stuck in a crouch while looting) during the first twenty minutes of play. Since then, never had any issues.

Re: 3DS Surpasses 10 Million Sales in Japan

AbeVigoda

In Canada over the holidays, many retailers were selling the 3DSXL for $149 and they were flying off the shelves. I would imagine that when the North American sales numbers for December come out, we will see quite a boost.

Re: Renegade Kid Worried About 3DS Piracy

AbeVigoda

LOL@ those who think having no region locks would stop people from pirating games or that there are people out there who have hacked consoles who DON'T download games.

Every single person who runs homebrew on their DS or Wii has copied games, myself included.

Re: ZombiU Producer "Disappointed" By Early Reviews

@The_Fox
Not really. Most of the 'flaws' pointed out by reviewers were things that didn't bother me at all, or we're things I felt 'enhanced' the game. I thought using a bat most of the game increased the tension througout, while other people found it boring or clumsy. Then people said one hit deaths were too much, while I felt it made you concentrate more. This game can really divide people base on their personal preferences or expectations.

ZombiU is one of the most original and enjoyable games I've played in a long time. I found a lot of the complaints people had (melee combat, not enough ammo, dark visuals, etc) were things that made me like the game even more!

I had to laugh when people complained it took "2-7 hits with a bat to kill a zombie, which is too much", as if there should be a set number of strikes haha.

@spartacus

We all know those games are on the way, so there's no need for Nintendo to show them to us now, then leaving them nothing to reveal to combat the debuts of new systems at E3. It's unfortunate you had to rant like a baby when it's obvious you have no understanding of how business works. Why you think a game company should be required to show you games coming out in 1-2 years within the first month of the systems release boggles the mind....

And yes, you are 'horribly wrong' hahaha

Re: Talking Point: Time to Adjust Nintendo Direct Expectations

AbeVigoda

At E3 this year, Microsoft for sure, and maybe Sony, will be showing new hardware. Why would Nintendo show all their cards now (Zelda, Star Fox, Metroid, etc) then show up to E3 with nothing to reveal?
It's funny watching goofs on here rip on Nintendo when it's obvious they have no business sense themselves.

Re: Review: Trine 2: Director's Cut (Wii U eShop)

AbeVigoda

I agree. I enjoy the game and it looks great, but I know that many of the puzzles I've "solved" were the result of me just randomly jumping and spawning boxes. This doesn't result in any satisfaction, and just leaves me thinking "how did that happen?"/

@MultiMariosonic
"Power of Illusion looks more like a GBA game than a 3DS game. Considering what 3DS is capable of, they could've done much better than that."

Are you kidding me? Have you even played the demo? It looks about 10X better than NSM2 and has probably the best 2-D side scrolling graphics on the 3DS.
