Re: Pachter: Nintendo Has Lost Its "Mojo"

Beechbone

Oh, man, it's not that there's anything wrong with Wii U but its advertisement. It's not a direct competition to PS4 or Xbox One in my opinion and it shouldn't be compared to those systems. I love my Wii U as much as I love my X360 and PS3. They all share the same shelf near my TV and on each of these consoles I have a different awesome eperience. Yeah, I will buy PS4, maybe even on day one because I wanna play games like AC4 or Watch_Dogs in a super high graphics but it doesn't get me any less excited about some Wii U games like the absolute gorgeous Wind Waker HD or Bayonetta 2, Pikmin 3, Wonderful 101, and of course the game I actually bought the system for: Rayman Legends - why anyone would NOT buy a Wii U for that Mr. Pachter??

Re: Evidence of a Functional 3DS Flashcard Emerges

Nintendo should ship all new consoles with the new firmware already installed with no way to do downgrade. Hackers will update soft for flashcards as well, sure, but it would delay it, and maybe discourage some folks to even bother with flashcards.

Re: Hands On: Running Scared in Resident Evil Revelations

I actually played only demo version of both the 3DS ooroginal and now the Wii U HD remaster. I was thoroughly impressed by 3DS version and came kinda disappointed by the remaster.

Why scanning doesn't utilize gyro controls? Why you can't play with Wii Remote Plus + Nunchuck combo? Why camera control feels so damn stiff and imprecise? Whe the textures are so washed out and ugly?

Rachel's awesome rack alone does not justify the asking price for me.
Maybe I'll finally pick up 3DS version, after all.

Re: Pokémon Black & White Version 2 Announced

Beechbone

It's all cool but pretty much everybody is waiting for that 3DS Pokemon. It would push hardware sales probably better than any other franchise but still there are more than 150 million DS consoles out there, and like 10 times less 3DS units. Maybe they're waiting for a big reveal at E3 or something alongside 3DS redesign?

Re: Feature: 3DS and the Trend of Colourful Handhelds

Beechbone

I really like my aqua blue 3DS but always they announce new color or special edition, I just go like 'hey, this one is the best color evaaar'. Every single time, I'm just hopeless So far the Zelda edition was probably the one that I really loved, and I would like to see maybe a vintage, book-like, profesor Layton themed console.

Re: Rumour: Wii U Heading for E3 Face-Off with PS4 and Xbox 720

Beechbone

I'd say it's not gonna happen. Nobody will buy a Kinect anymore if there's new Microsoft console coming on the horizon. And it seems PS3 hasn't been pushed to its limits yet, and Sony still have PS Vita to brag about the whole E3 conference. I'm super curious about Wii U, the price, actual games (maybe reveal of a launch lineup), and since it's fully backwards compatible with Wii maybe it will offer something like upscaling resolution of Wii games? On Xbox 360 at least on some games you get additional antialiasing for original Xbox games, and Nintendo is always kicking butt with backwards compatibility.

Re: Talking Point: The Future of No-Frills Emulation on the eShop

More games the better! I just want to play some really cool games from past systems that are no longer available or hard to get, and to have a wide choice. I recently bought Chrono Trigger from VC for 900 points. Really no big money for such a brilliant game. The original snes cartridge goes for 50$ to as high as 200$ on Amazon. That's insane.

My point is, I just want Nintendo to release as many games they can, don't care about manual etc.

Re: These Are The 10 NES Ambassador Games in Japan

Beechbone

I've seen somewhere around the net (sorry, forgot the exact source) info about rumored games for both NES and GBA. NES list looked very much alike (if not the same) and as for GBA they named things like Metroid Zero Mission, Pokemon Emerald and everyone's favourite Minish Cap! I was counting a bit for FF 6 Advance but I guess the original sells too well on Wii VC.
