lol...cliffy is just some dude that wished he worked for nintendo. i remember him saying he wanted to do naughty things to the psp, and that nintendo has turned in to the R&D department for the videogame industry, all coming from a guy thats pumped nothing but shooter games since... and uninspired cookie cutter game engines.
@HaNks i agree, i have huge hands and still rock a ds phat for that reason, it has a full controller layout, micro trigger buttons suck. i have the OG 3ds and cant play it for too long before my hands start hurting
the 6 player online thing might have to do with the nintendo network / wifi connection data rate, i think its called Nifi, i read about it reading looking for ds port tunneling on xlink kai.
I think this is going to be a reoccurring trend in the industry, its been to hard to bank on one console for sometime now. It sucks but expect to see alot of this when the MS and Sony consoles drop too. 3rd party exclusive arnt economicly viable anymore. Nintendo has already started by combining their handheld and console division in to one development sector as well as trying to have mutliple dev engines working system wide for easier porting.If companies dont do this they'll be joining THQ in a few years. In the end the stage has already been set for the next generation sales tactics, were just getting the first glimps.
everybody is crying a river about the Wii U, just wait until E3 and everybody will be singing a different song and having discussions about what game to play next especially after seeing nintendos major titles in HD for the first time with a level of creativity the industry rarely sees these days.
I think nintendo is a great position with its low end tech approach, i see alot of developers and publishers getting sticker shock when it comes to creating something for ps4/720 and will come running back to nintendo consoles when its cheaper and the install base is solid. Graphics matter when it cost too much to make them.
developers today are lazy, i dont remember companies complaining about porting to the gen/md and tg16 when their controller had 3/4 LESS BUTTONS then the super nintendo
it might be weird, but i shrink my web browser until the video is the relative size of the 3ds screen, then i watch it. I feel like it gives me a more realistic comparison of the graphics, this game looks awesome.
too much hype for me, get ready to be disappointed.
I really dont want to see another 100 or so pokemon ,650 is enough, just open up /connect the maps already, thats my favorite part about G/S/C,just do it for all 5 gens and make a billion dollars.
leave the FTP games on PCs, I've had a hard enough time tolerating the dlc mess this past console generation made, nickle and diming people to death for small stuff that should already be in the game.
I'd rather see a full attempt at hand drawn HD sprites and tight old school gameplay, very little 3d outside effects and lighting. The NSMB series always seems slapped together to me so I rarely ever bothered..
I can see the developer/publisher side of things with pirating and not seeing a profit on their end, but i've always been a late gamer and try to play everything a console has to offer. Simply, after a while factory new games for old consoles just are not easy to come by. Publishers and developers don't see a profit on used games anyway, so they better hurry along with the virtual console thing or flashcarts are never going away.
