Re: ​Talking Point: Ports vs. Sequels On The Nintendo Switch

Al_Godoy

I have spent so much money on my Wii U... I'm worried. I don't know how to respond to the Switch. I am not sold and I don't like the remake/remaster thing. I get it, but I don't like it.

Part of the problem with Nintendo has everything to do with new IPs, they should be giving us new IPs.

Re: Talking Point: Nintendo Has No Set Formula for Hardware Reveals, But NX is Testing Fans' Patience

Al_Godoy

These are highlights of the PS4 line-up as of today:

Rise of the Tomb Raider, Final Fantasy 15, Mafia 3, Battlefield 1, The Last Guardian, Resident Evil 7, For Honor, Horizon: Zero Dawn, Ghost Recon: Highlands, Mass Effect: Andromeda, Dragon Quest XI, Final Fantasy 7 HD, God of War, Hideo Kojima's Death Stranding.

Personal taste aside, this are games that are building hype from now and through the end of 2016 up until the latter half of 2017. Nintendo have to convince people to spend their dollars on NX instead.

The more they delay the announcement the more time Sony and the 3rd parties have to convince people to start preordering their games, etc.

I know I want to play MOST of those games. I know I think about NX less and less.

NSMBU: No major use of the gamepad

SM3DW: Unnecessary use of the gamepad

DKCR Tropical Freeze: No use of the gamepad

MK8: No use of the gamepad

Pikmin 3: Best played with wii remote (no use of the gamepad)

Yoshi's Wooly World: No use of the gamepad

Hyrule Warriors: Unnecessary use of the gamepad

Super Smash Bros. 4: No use of the gamepad

Both Zelda Remakes: Unnecessary use of the gamepad

The more I dive into the Wii U library, the more I wonder if all of those games wouldn't have been better on a PS4, with better graphics, better online options, better everything.

The more I hear about the Wii U the more convinced I am about Nintendo's need to abandon hardware. The only good thing about Nintendo is always software, they don't do great hardware, they just don't.

If you wanted a Gamepad I am sure you could make one compatible for PS4 and bundle it with games that need it.

They could focus al their efforts on making great games, instead of inferior consoles with crappy online capabilities, terrible data management, that feel dated.

Re: Talking Point: The Pros and Cons of Nintendo's NX Secrecy

Al_Godoy

I have zero hype, since the word carries such a positive meaning. I am very curious and mildly pessimistic about it

I honestly believe that no matter what it is or how good it is, it won't sell, and that will make it go the way of the Wii U. Most of my gamer friends have absolutely no interest in this and only us fans are here waiting while most of the gaming community is at peace with their powerhouse consoles ore PCs.

I loath to see them targeting "a new generation of gamers" and making us fans look like idiots for believing that Nintendo would eventually catch up to us.

Re: Poll: The GameCube is 15 Years Old - Pick Your Favourite Games

Giving some love to Viewtiful Joe, a truly remarkable game, fun and tough to beat. The sequel is also brilliant.

Now, I didn't find on the list 007 Everything or Nothing, a game I played tirelessly.

Also surprised to see so little love for Eternal Darkness. But, well, you know... opinions.

Great little console.

Re: Nintendo Appears at Apple Conference to Announce Super Mario Run

Al_Godoy

I'm gonna go ahead and say, that I don't think Nintendo going third party is a bad thing. I actually believe it could be a good thing, since they could focus their energy on making more amazing games, and leave the development of new technologies to those companies that have a proven track record of being the best, and the market leaders.

Re: Review: Monster Hunter Generations (3DS)

Al_Godoy

I enjoyed the Wii U port of MH3U that I still feel bummed about playing it on the N3DS... I played MH4's demo and couldn't get into it... but this I will buy, I really need some Monster Hunting in my life.

Re: Feature: The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild is Nintendo's Boldest Step Into Contemporary Game Design

Al_Godoy

If anyone here has played The Witcher 3, you could agree with me that it is a game that took Zelda to where Zelda never dared to go.

To this day I have this nagging feeling that Nintendo should try to split the franchise in two: I always think you could have The Legend of Zelda, a puzzle heavy, all-age game about adventures, and on the other hand "The Adventures of Link" a hardcore adult experience full of violence, amazing combat and freedom.

I don't complain, though, I just play both The Witcher and Zelda and enjoy myself.

Re: Reaction: Nintendo Shakes Up E3 With No NX and a Focus on Legend of Zelda

Al_Godoy

Oh my god... I feel so betrayed. I hate the "double release" because if it is anything like the GTA V for both the PS3 and the PS4, we Wii U owners will be getting a far inferior version of the game, and the superior version is OBVIOUSLY the one that is causing the delay.

And as I have commented on every article here just vent out my frustration I will most definitely NOT be getting an NX.

Re: Talking Point: Nintendo Needs to Excite A Mainstream Audience in 2016

Al_Godoy

I love Nintendo... but I am certain the NX is going to fail even worse than the Wii U did. I don't see them doing and open console, that can play third party titles and BluRay discs and so on. I see them trying some weird gimmick and failing miserably.

I used to buy Nintendo consoles on launch day or as soon as I could. I won't anymore. Wii U has amazing games but it is not on the same level as a PS4, not even close.

Re: Feature: The Biggest Wii U Games of 2016 - Spring Edition

Al_Godoy

@BlueNitrous I mean for the rest of the year, I have a lot of love for plenty of games in the Wii U library, especially Xenoblade Chronicles X, Splatoon, DKC Tropical Freeze and Smash Bros. (I also love playing Mario Maker levels, although I suck at building them). Plus I have a lot of love for several indie titles from the eShop.

But The Division is not mediocre, it scores 81 in Metacritic with a 7.2 User score (just to show that is not my opinion alone). And I have serious reservations that anything on the Wii U's 2016 line-up will score better than that.

I also don't like that Nintendo is going for a double release for Zelda U. I know it's not confirmed, but if it is true, it makes me sad to end up owning the lesser version, since I am pretty sure that I won't buy Nintendo's next console. I have now joined the ranks of those who think that Nintendo should start making games as third party for other Hardware.

It sucks to be pessimistic, but Nintendo has gone out of its way to beat my high expectations out of me.
