I'd just like to point out that it is already possible to play gamecube games on Wii U. Hackers have done it. The homebrew app is called devolution. For games that require the analog shoulder trigger, there's a $20 adapter you can buy that let's you use your old GC controller. So there's really no reason nintendo can't put gamecube games on virtual console. If the hackers can do it, so can they.
Yeah. I think it's pretty obvious at this point that nintendo is going to have to carry their own system. But in order to do this, I think they need to increase their in house development studios, by buying some small independent developers and making them first party. Guys like platinum games, monster games, treasure, wayforward, sumo digital, etc.
Double dragon 2 was infinitely better than this. I don't understand why they keep releasing the first one and not the second one. This is why people hack their systems to run emulators.
I think nintendo should just forget about third parties and focus on increasing their own in house development teams. Maybe buying some small independent studios. Like platinum games, monster games, sumo digital, treasure. Then they can carry their own system, without relying on third parties.
Yes I'm extremely disappointed. I spent the last two week transferring my pokemon from emerald to platinum to black 2, in preparation for the pokebank. Now it was all a waste of time. Screw you, Nintendo
Ugh. Why can't nintendo give any of their other IPs a chance? Why do they keep shoving mario down our throat? I want a new star fox, metroid, f-zero. Not super mario bros 27.
@Sideswipe But we did get a new zelda every year from 1998 to 2007. Here's a list:
1998 - ocarina of time 1999 - link's awakening DX 2000 - majora's mask 2001 - oracle of ages/seasons 2002 - a link to the past/four swords 2003 - the wind waker 2004 - four sword adventures 2005 - the minish cap 2006 - twilight princess 2007 - phantom hourglass
I don't agree with their current approach at all. I'm sick of mario, zelda, pokemon, all the damn time. We haven't seen a new f-zero since 2003. We haven't seen a new star fox since 2005. What is the problem? If they don't have enough teams to make these games, then buy more! Purchase platinum games already. Pick up next level games too.
@EarthboundBenjy I didn't think the 3DS version of sonic generations was a waste of time. I liked it. It had completely different levels from the PS3 version.
Yes please. Retro studios is awesome. I'd love for them to do the next metroid. But what about star fox? Fox McCloud hasn't been seen since 2005. Here's what nintendo should do. Buy platinum games, have them get started on new star fox.
Disappointed. I wanted nintendo to get them. Sega is bad when it comes to localizing games outside Japan. What's the point if SMT x FE gets released but doesn't leave Japan? The Wii U is region locked. So there would be no way to play it.
I want nintendo to get them. Out of all the companies they actually NEED atlus the most. With the Wii U failing miserably and iwata admitting that they're severely understaffed for HD development, atlus could be just what the doctor ordered. Providing nintendo with exclusives and extra resources.
And this is why i want nintendo to buy the megaman IP from capcom. They don't do this kind of doggiep**p**. They actually care about their fans. Capcom can go bankrupt for all I care.
Nintendo took too long to release earthbound for me. So I got it on my Wii 3 years ago by running an emulator and rom. I know it's wrong but I got tired of waiting.
Why does capcom think we're content re-buying the same games we've already played hundreds of times? I'm not buying the same games I own just to have it on 3DS. When there's nothing wrong with my gba sp bright. Why won't they give us something new?
I don't plan on buying this either. Ubisoft stabbed nintendo in the back by delaying this and then releasing it on their rivals consoles. I'm not supporting that.
I don't trust capcom with anything megaman related anymore. I wish they would just sell the megaman IP to nintendo. Then nintendo can out source it to inticreates.
This is nice and all but really, who hasn't already played these old games dozens of times? I still have megaman anniversary collection and megaman x collection for gamecube. I want something new. Why is that so hard?
Yeah this is somewhat true. I was extremely disappointed that kingdom hearts 3 isn't coming to Wii U. So I might end up getting a PS4 just for that. It's a real shame. Because if Wii U got more big name games from third parties, I wouldn't have to waste money on another system. That I otherwise wouldn't buy.
I want the hammer suit to come back. It was the most powerful power up next to the star. You could kill thwomps and boos with it. Plus it looked totally baddonkey .

Re: Video: Learn How To Play Mega Man: The Board Game
And this is why capcom can't go bankrupt soon enough for me. Hopefully nintendo will get megaman so we can have some new games finally.
Re: Genius Sonority Has Something "Challenging" In Store For Fans In 2014
I'd rather have a new Pokemon Colosseum as well. It's been too long. We didn't even get a console battling game for gen 5. And gen 6 is already out.
Re: Feature: The Biggest 3DS Games of 2014
Yoshi's island 2 for nds was pretty mediocre. So I don't have high hopes for the sequel. I mostly want:
Bravely default
Kirby triple deluxe
Super smash bros 4
Monster hunter 4
Re: Feature: The Biggest Wii U Games of 2014
@YChung I 100% agree with you. And the last 3 games on this list are a joke.
Re: Pokémon Bank and Poké Transporter Releases Delayed in the West
Yes I'm extremely disappointed. I spent the last two week transferring my pokemon from emerald to platinum to black 2, in preparation for the pokebank. Now it was all a waste of time. Screw you, Nintendo
Re: Video: Bravely Second Teaser Trailer Goes Live
Nintendo is the one publishing it.
Re: Video: Bravely Second Teaser Trailer Goes Live
Nintendo sucks for making the US wait until February to play this game.
Re: Nintendo Download: 26th December and 2nd January (Europe)
Why is it that Europe always gets these discounts, while the US doesn't get s***?
Re: Platinum Games Producer Hates "Pedantic Port-Begging" Regarding Bayonetta 2
@Worthy That might actually happen. Platinum Games did say that they were interested in being a second party developer for Nintendo.
Re: Miyamoto: Nintendo Has Unfinished Business With Super Mario Galaxy Series

Re: Mighty No. 9 Sets an Ambitious 3DS Stretch Goal
I would like to see it on 3DS. But I don't think it will reach this goal in just 4 days. If it did, I would buy both Wii U and 3DS versions.
Re: Shigeru Miyamoto Explains That Internal Development Teams "Gravitate" Towards Big Franchises
I don't agree with their current approach at all. I'm sick of mario, zelda, pokemon, all the damn time. We haven't seen a new f-zero since 2003. We haven't seen a new star fox since 2005.

@EarthboundBenjy
I didn't think the 3DS version of sonic generations was a waste of time. I liked it. It had completely different levels from the PS3 version.

Do you have to preorder to get the DLC nights level?
Re: Miyamoto: Retro Studios is High on The List of Candidates For A New Metroid Game
Yes please. Retro studios is awesome. I'd love for them to do the next metroid. But what about star fox? Fox McCloud hasn't been seen since 2005. Here's what nintendo should do. Buy platinum games, have them get started on new star fox.
Re: Sega Sammy Acquires Atlus Parent Company Index For 14 Billion Yen
Disappointed. I wanted nintendo to get them. Sega is bad when it comes to localizing games outside Japan. What's the point if SMT x FE gets released but doesn't leave Japan? The Wii U is region locked. So there would be no way to play it.
Re: Jools Watsham Offers to Help Create a 3DS Version of Mighty No. 9
If it gets released for both Wii U and 3DS, I'll buy both of them.

Please just buy platinum games, nintendo.
Re: SEGA Reportedly Interested in Acquiring Atlus' Parent Company

Re: Capcom Employee Outlines Details on Mega Man Legends 3 Cancellation

Re: Atlus Parent Company Reportedly Preparing To Sell Operations
@TheAdza Well nintendo bought monolith soft a few years ago.

Don't they sell 32GB SD cards for like $25 now? Just buy one of them.
Re: Pachter: Without Third Party Support Nintendo Fans May End Up Buying A Second Console
