Re: Nintendo Submits "Mysterious New Wireless Device" To FCC

BrokenCiv

Honestly, and this is just MY personal opinion, but I really wish Nintendo would cut the gimmicks and just stick with making games/great consoles. We play games for games not gimmicks. I can’t tell you how much dust my gimmicky consoles have collected with all their peripherals that take up extra space and the ones that are just straight up consoles still get played occasionally. They lucked out with the Wii. Wii U was abysmal in sales and one could argue the DS/3DS was gimmicky but at least it was still pretty much a gaming system with two screens (I work with 3 monitors every day so it really didn’t bother me and it was an integrated part of the console). I don’t want to have to worry about sensor bars, bulky charging cables for huge controllers that have a giant screen, a separate charging station for said controller, etc. Just give me a console and a docking station, and a pro controller (the Switch has spoiled us). Again, just my personal opinion. Sorry if I stepped on anyone’s toes….

Re: Round Up: The Reviews Are In For Epic Mickey: Rebrushed

BrokenCiv

I think the demo played fine on both Switch and my Steam Deck/PC (yeah I tried the demo on all three). I enjoyed it back on the Wii despite its bugs but I’m a huge fan of classic Mickey (modern Mickey not so much). I’ll probably queue this up to download on my Steam Deck in a bit. Who knows, I may even grab the physical copy for my Switch at some point but I’m always kinda hesitant to buy new games for a system that’s about to be replaced since those games usually have a decent chance at getting ported to the new system.

Re: Review: Disney Epic Mickey: Rebrushed (Switch) - A Lick Of Paint Works Wonders

BrokenCiv

I’m torn between picking this up for Switch or getting it on Steam. Switch would be for the OLED (I got my Steam Deck 3 months before the OLED version came out…yeah I was pretty sour about it as I would have held out for it had I known) and Steam because it looks slightly crisper on my Deck and PC. I’m not gonna double-dip though (technically triple-dip since I already own this on Wii).

Re: Random: Someone 3D Printed The Rumoured 'Switch 2' Design

BrokenCiv

@Serpenterror it may have been discontinued recently but they are still old design concepts from systems that Nintendo’s most recent example, which is very much so a clamshell design (Google it), released back in 2011 if we aren’t counting the 2DS XL which is still pretty much the same system based on the 2011 model. But hey, tomatoes tomotoes. That’s pretty old and this is coming from a dude in his 40’s…

Re: LEGO The Hobbit Questing Onto Wii U and 3DS in April

BrokenCiv

Um, yay? I'm a little burnt out on Lego games. I did marvel super heroes and was a little let down by it. Think I'll just replay Lego City Undercover for my Lego fix if I ever need to. That title is outstanding and I don't see them putting one out that tops it anytime soon.

Re: Iwata Looking To Emulate iOS And Android With A Common Platform For Future Nintendo Hardware

BrokenCiv

Wow I'm not quite sure what I make of this. I'm gonna mull it over for a week or so and post about it on my site.... I like iOS but I don't like it for the games. I hope this doesn't mean the future of Nintendo titles are watered down apps that can run on all hardware they put out. If that is the way I things I will become purely a retro gamer and not look back....or would that be not looking forward? Lol

Re: Satoru Iwata Outlines Belief that Continuing with Hardware and Software Will "Amplify" Nintendo's Strengths

BrokenCiv

@janniboy22
Agreed! The Wii U is outstanding! I don't get where all this negativity about the gamepad is coming from but I love it an apparently the ones who don't will be missing out on some great titles coming that Iwata says will take full advantage of. They need to treat Wii U development much like DS and 3DS development. That would pretty much guarantee great titles.

Re: Nintendo of America Running TVii Sweepstakes During the Super Bowl

BrokenCiv

I entered as well. It was my first time using TVii for the sports functions it's capable of. It was definitely fun and unique but at time was frustrating due to the lag times I got. There were times that a question popped up and I was unable to vote because it said the question had timed out just as soon as I received it. This may have had something to do with the fact that my Wii U doesn't have a wired connection but rather on a wifi network...
