Re: Nintendo Gives US Government Recommendations on Tackling Piracy Abroad

Bryon15

I personally don't think it's wrong to pirate games that nintendo no longer makes money off of. This includes everything from nes to gamecube. Another thing to think about is the rareness of a game. Metroid prime trilogy and xenoblade chronicles both sell for $100+ on eBay and amazon. The average person can't afford that. I can't. And if a person does pay that price, nintendo won't see any of that money since it's a used game. So people should be able to pirate them in that situation. Anyway this won't work. They tried to shut down megaupload and it came back a year later. This is a nice effort but I doubt it'll do anything.

Re: Talking Point: Wii U and the Importance of Backward Compatibility

Bryon15

I'm sorry but I still think that Nintendo really has no excuse for the Wii U not having Gamecube BC support.Let me explain.

I have detailed here, how it is possible for Nintendo to have GC compatiblity, and Not add to system cost. It requires no more emulation that Nintendo has already programmed for Wii compatiblity.
Also, just because there would be physical compatiblity, that doesn't mean GC games would be off limits to the Virtual Console.

Wii Specs:

PowerPC CPU @ 729 MHZ
ATI GPU @ 243MHZ

Memory

24MB Embedded into CPU
3MB Embedded into GPU
64MB RAM usable by any component

Gamecube Specs:

PowerPC CPU @ 486MHZ
Exact Same ATI GPU @ 162MHZ

Memory

24MB Embedded into CPU
3MB imbedded into GPU
16MB to buffer DVD drive and for Audio Processor
The only remaining differences are I/O and of course the DVD drive itself.

As you can see the Wii and Gamecube are very much the same, save for some overclocking and a RAM upgrade.

Here's how the Wii gets compatiblity: (From what I can decipher) 48MB of RAM is disabled, and 16MB is used as a DVD buffer and reserved for audio. The processors are then clocked down from 1.5x speed to 1x and run at Gamecube spec.

Now if the Wii U can already run Wii games without issue, what is preventing Gamecube compatiblity?

You may say "what about controller ports and memory cards?" Well nintendo could release a new wireless wavebird controller for that. And for memory cards they could release a memory card adpator so we can transfer our current cards to the Wii U internal memory.

Re: Mega Man Fans Troll Capcom Following iOS Social Game Announcement

Bryon15

I agree with those fans. This game is a travesty. I don't know what the hell capcom is thinking. In 2003 for megaman's 15th anniversary we got 6 new games. So wtf happened this time? It's like they don't give a damn about megaman anymore. If this is the case then why not just sell the megaman license to another developer who can actually do it some justice? F*** you, capcom!

Re: Reaction: Your Opinions on Nintendo's E3 Conference

I thought nintendo's showing this year was just as bad as E3 2008. I mean seriously what the f***? They didn't show anything new. We already knew about pikmin 3 and super mario U. Where the hell was retro studios with star fox! No zelda, no metroid, no star fox, no f-zero, no kirby, no ssb4. I'm extremely disappointed. I don't think I'll be getting a wii u this year. And they didn't even say the price or release date for it anyway. F*** you, nintendo!!
