Re: First Impressions: Solving the Puzzle of Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker

AdanVC

I'm willing to pay the full $60 for this game if that's the price they set. Since the first Captain Toad level I played in SM3DW I totally fell in love and I wished this concept could be made into a full game, AND HERE IT IS! Now is one of my most anticipated games of 2014. And it's going to be even more awesome because this will also support Amiibo figures.

Re: Wii Owners Are Upgrading To PlayStation 4, Claims Sony

AdanVC

I was thinking in buying a PS4 depending on Sony's E3 presentation this week and well... I'm glad to say it will take probably another whole year until I buy one because starting from the fact that their Press Conference was dead boring full of arrogance and innecesary statistics stuff, the games they shown, none of them attractes me enough to get one. Not even The Last of Us Remastered.

The entire presentation was literally like: "We're perfect, we have the most powerful console and we're full of exclusives, we're arrogant at it's best, TV TV, TV...." Oh, and a freaking Ratchet and Clank movie that nobody asked for in the first place. Just lame.

After this E3 I'm beyond happy to be a Wii U owner and it's the system that will offer the widest range of variety in terms of games through the year. Yeah, it sucks that 3rd Party support for Wii U is almost non-existent at this point but there's still plenty of AWESOME indie games coming and I'm going to support the hell out of each one as they get released.

Re: Reaction: Mario Kart 8 Accused Of Poor Sales Potential, Ruining Battle Mode And Racism

AdanVC

Welcome to the Internet... I can't even. Racism on Mario games? I'm obviously against racism but state that in a Mario game is just ridiculous. I don't care about that Polygon article, they always publish this unproffesional click-bait articles when something related to Nintendo happens. Something like that happened when Nintendo published their E3 2014 plans and like 1 hour later, Polygon published an article titled "Nintendo may be drowning; but it's invested in doing so silently" and of course it caused a lot of buzz and obviously, thousands and thousands of clicks on that article. So yeah... I'm never visiting Polygon website again.

Re: Review: Mario Kart 8 (Wii U)

AdanVC

Hell yeah! What a great and informative review. So freaking excited, definitely I'm more excited for MK8 than I was with Super Mario 3D World! But I can't believe there's still 2 whole week left to play this gem

Re: Talking Point: Nintendo's E3 Plans Are Full of Tantalising Potential

AdanVC

Good read. Definitely this plans announced for Nintendo at E3 are looking way more exciting than last year's E3 Nintendo Direct. Their latest broadcasts have been damn good and a true improvement over 2013's broadcasts so this keeps me genuinely hyped. That Smash Bros tournament and demo on Best Buy is an excellent idea.

Re: Nintendo Download: 24th April (North America)

AdanVC

Why Yoshi's Island for GBA and not for SNES? I prefer the SNES version because it has smoother framerate and waaaay better sound effects/music because of the higher quality chip sound the SNES had. Sigh. Sometimes Nintendo truly doesn't make any sense with their game releases... Oh well, NES Remix 2 for me

Re: Nintendo Is Shutting Down Its Taiwan Subsidiary

AdanVC

I just hope this doesn't become another Nintendo is doomed trend of the week because (unfortunately) we've seen many different gaming companies doing the same with their studios/subsidaries lately, specially with Sony even if they are enjoying good PS4 sales. Gaming industry as a whole is in a not so healthy position right now and it affects everyone, not just Nintendo even if it's the company who is suffering the most right now. Best wishes to all of those who lost their job : /

Re: Miiverse Update Imposes Restrictions on Posting Comments

AdanVC

This is good especially when Sakurai posts the Pic of the Day on the Smash Bros. Community. However... I think Miiverse is already very, very strict on pretty much everything now :S. With this 3 minute restriction per comment is gonna be difficult when you are trying to get help when you're stuck in a game and you would easily lost your patience because of this. Oh well...

Re: NPD Results Bring Solid 3DS Numbers as Wii U Struggles

AdanVC

Incredible (in a bad way) that Wii continues selling. I'm sure that from those 28,000 new Wii customers, like, 20,000 of them were confusing Wii with Wii U and they decided to go for Wii because it was "cheaper". Nintendo needs to kill Wii completely. It's just hurting them rather than help them. As much as I love my Wii U, I honestly expect lower numbers for the console considering it didn't have any notable game releases like PS4 with inFAMOUS or Xbone with Titanfail. 3DS has a pretty sweet summer line-up already thanks to Smash and Wii U thanks to Mario Kart 8... let's just FREAKING HOPE we don't have to wait another 4 months till the next big release after MK8 >

Re: First Impressions: Tomodachi Life

AdanVC

Wario Ware creators made this as well?? SOLD. I honestly think this game looks funnier than Animal Crossing New Leaf. I can imagine the amount of screenshots of those random/wacky moments on sites like tumblr and twitter. It's going to be so much fun!

Re: Tomodachi Life is Big on Character, But Modest in File Size

AdanVC

This is actually good news. That big size means the game would have endless activities, content and random stuff that surely would keep us busy for months! I wans't so interested in this game but after that CRAZY FUN Nintendo Direct last thursday now It's a day one purchase from me, haha.

Re: Super Mario 3D World Double Disc Soundtrack Arrives on Club Nintendo

AdanVC

Now more than ever I'm so mad for three things:

1.- I've been wishing to own this Soundtrack since the first second it was announced on Japan.
2.- It's finally announced to be released outside of Japan BUT ONLY for Europe and Australia (Like WTF, Nintendo of America? REGGIE!? First you add a red box to Mario Kart 8 without the awesome Limited Edition Blue Shell figurine and now this!?)
3.- Even if it's released in America I would not have the chance to get it because I live in freaking Mexico!!!

Ughhh

Re: Talking Point: The Timing of Nintendo's Super Smash Bros. Direct Raises Expectations

AdanVC

It's been a very slow year in terms of Nintendo Direct broadcasts. The thing is, even without ND's, Nintendo has managed to create a bit of momentum lately with previews offered to the press with games such as Mario Golf and more epic with Mario Kart 8. The lineup of GBA games on VC, and now with this surprising Smash Bros Direct. This clearly shows that Nintendo has been doing things differently lately compared to last year and I believe it's been working great because after those MK8 previews, the hype for this game now is insane and it's great to think it reached those hype levels without the need of a Nintendo Direct and that's a really good sign.

April is going to be an interesting month considering a year ago is when it was announced that Nintendo would not held a Press Conference at E3 in 2013. So I just REALLY hope they don't repeat that for this year's E3. That Nintendo Direct was excellent but doesn't bring the attention of the mass media as Press Conferences do. Plus, since this would be the E3 on wich the new Zelda game will be revealed what a better opportunity than showing it in a Press Conference so we can see the epic reactions of public.

Re: Super Smash Bros. Direct Will Bring the Hype on 8th April

AdanVC

Wohoo! lot's of Nintendo goodness this week. GBA games, MK8 previews with epic trailers and now Smash Bros dedicated Direct! We can expect a newcomer, info about different game modes, ONLINE MULTIPLAYER and a damn release date! It's gonna be a loooooong weekend, guys.

Re: Preview: Mario Kart 8

AdanVC

The graphics looks like if they were made by Pixar itself! I can't believe how beautiful it looks. Come faster May 30th!!!

Re: 3DS Enjoys a Major Hardware Boost in Japan as Wii U Sales Also Increase

AdanVC

Great week for Nintendo hardware, even Wii U had a bump no matter if i t doesn't had a retail release this week. This clearly shows that Wii U's problem is not on the console itself (The name, the lack of games, the low tech specs compared to PS4/Xbone, etc.) it's just that people when they can afford it, they go for it (and the decreasing interest on home consoles overall unfortunately, just look at PS4 numbers this week for example.) Let's just start imagine the numbers once Mario Kart 8 hits!

Re: New Watch_Dogs Trailer Highlights a Living, Breathing Chicago Game World

AdanVC

Don't worry guys. While everyone would be busy playing Watch_Dogs on May 27th. All of us would be busy playing MARIO KART 8 three days later . The thing is, I'm still excited for Watch_Dogs and I'm glad Ubisoft put the Wii U (and even the Nintendo eShop logo) at the end of the trailer. Day one purchase from me for whenever is released on Wii U

Re: Latest Assassin's Creed Announcement Continues Doubts Over Wii U Inclusion

AdanVC

At this pace, the only holiday game it would be released during holidays for Wii U is Smash Bros, and that if it doesn't get delayed till 2015 and we get NES Remix 3 instead.... We all know that Nintendo consoles are to play Nintendo games, not for 3rd Party stuff, but this is getting ridiculous! I enjoyed AC: IV so much! It was a great improvement over AC: III! Waiting 3 or 4 months between 1st party titles and no worthy releases (meaning 3rd party stuff) in between is just not acceptable to me anymore. Just the fact that we don't even have the latest Metal Gear Solid game is a serious concern that not even their closest Nintendo Japanese partners care on bringing their games on Wii U. Like if Snake in Smash never happened!!! Woah, this is bad . Let's see how it goes with MK8...

Re: Nintendo's Expensive New Development Building Isn't Very Exciting

AdanVC

Nice and efficient looking building, I like it. They have to go with this type of architecture maybe because it's located in an industrial area of Kyoto where fancy building constructions are not allowed, also because earthquakes... they need to be strong enough to support them. Just imagine going to work every day there. All the magic that has to occur on the inside. It must be a pain in the a** tough, considering how hard is to get to work for Nintendo, especially in Japan if you want to be a developer.

Re: Harvest Moon: Connect To A New World Dominates for 3DS in Japan

AdanVC

Wohoo! Not even the PS4 can't stop the 3DS dominance >: ). But OMG that drop for PS4 is insane though! I was expecting something around 100k to 200k this week. Looks like everyone who bought a PS4 the past week realize how bad Knack is, hahah. It's funny how all the Sony fanboys are like "well looks like there's not enough PS4's in stock, that's why it sold way less"... yeah right. Wii U selling as usual that's, -in a certain way- good, considering PS4 is now in the competition. Now... When we can expect that Harvest Moon game here on the West, Nintendo?

Re: Interview: Takashi Tezuka on Bringing Yoshi's New Island to the 3DS

AdanVC

I was getting really excited while reading the interview, then I read this part: "We’ve made the courses themselves a little easier to complete compared to the previous title" And my excitement decreased almost 30% . It is going to feel so awkward to play this game after DKC: Tropical Freeze wich is one of the most challenging platformers in years... Oh well : /.
I'm still excited for this game, I'm confident that with Tezuka as a producer, this game would deliver and it would be as fun as the original.

Re: KnapNok Games and Nifflas Collaborating on Wii U eShop Exclusive, "Affordable Space Adventure"

AdanVC

"Hopefully we can show that the Wii U is great" <<< This guys knows what's up!, haha. No but seriously this is so cool, the game is looking awesome and the gameplay is shaping to be really fun as well. Indie guys once again proving that if you want to make and outstanding game, you can be able to achive it on any console as long as you stay passionate and creative while creating it. Day one purchase from me
