Re: Take a Closer Look at the Wii U Console

Deviant_Mugen

I'm liking the look of it...

@JesusSaves: ...Are you serious? I honestly can't believe how many complaints I've seen about GC functionality not being offered anymore since the Wii U's announcement. This is on a different level, though. If you still want GC functionality that bad, keep your Wii or pick up a GameCube. Eventually the line must be drawn, you know...

Re: Wii U Won't Support Blu-ray or DVD Playback

Deviant_Mugen

People are already complaining/fearing that the price of the Wii U will be too high, so adding DVD and/or blu-ray playback would only serve to jack up the cost some more. Besides, it is 2012 (its release date), meaning virtually every home should have some kind of means by which to view DVDs; the Wii U (and the Wii, for that matter) doesn't need that feature. I, for one, am perfectly satisfied with Nintendo sticking to what they know best: making game consoles...

@timp29: "The reason for that is that we feel that enough people already have devices that are capable of playing DVDs and Blu-ray, such that it didn't warrant the cost involved to build that functionality into the Wii U console because of the patents related to those technologies."

So, yeah, adding DVD/blu-ray playback capabilities costs money...

Re: First Impressions: Luigi's Mansion 2 (3DS)

Deviant_Mugen

I've still yet to play the original, but this game sounds phenomenal. Yet another reason for me to purchase a 3DS soon (though still not the clincher)...

@Corbs: "It's been an incredibly long wait for a new Luigi's Mansion release, but after putting a few turns into the upcoming 3DS release, it's clear that the wait was well worth it."

Only a few? Don't be so modest, Corbs. I bet they had to wrestle that 3DS away from you...

Great impressions, by the way...

Re: First Impressions: Super Mario 3D (3DS)

Deviant_Mugen

Man, this game sounds fantastic. Now all Nintendo needs to do to really get me to move on buying a 3DS is announce a Metroid title...

@Corbs: "The simple look and gameplay objectives bring back memories of the 64-bit adventure, but he game doesn't stop there." You missed a 't' there (second paragraph). Also, great impressions...

Re: Mario Party 9 Keeps the Good Times Rolling on Wii

Deviant_Mugen

As long as they bring back some of the challenge of the previous games in the series (MP 8 was way too easy), I'll definitely be picking it up. Seriously, there's really no need to win any coins (except to buy cheat candy) when Toad just gives you the stars and the AI relies on cheating to make sure you don't amass too many of them. With that said, the game does look good; I wonder if Hudson is going to be developing it...

Re: This is the Wii U Controller in All Its Glory

Deviant_Mugen

Personally, I think the controller looks phenomenal and can't wait to see what new play-styles Nintendo creates with it...

@Skotski: Speaking of Pip-Boys, if Bethesda doesn't bring Fallout 3 and Fallout: New Vegas (GOTY editions) to the Wii U, they'll really be missing out on a golden opportunity. As long as the games launched bug-free, I wager they'd become the definitive console versions, with Pip-Boy navigation being much more fluid and akin to playing the games on a PC...

Re: New Super Mario Bros. Mii Screenshots Gleam in HD

Deviant_Mugen

Playing as yourself in a platformer? And a Mario platformer, at that? Who can honestly say they've never thought of/wanted to do this? I'm going to be all over this when it releases...

This won't turn out to be just a mere tech demo, not unless Nintendo wants to miss out on some mega-bucks...

Also, a cool feature that Nintendo should implement is full customization: first off, have the Miis wear caps; secondly, let people pick the colors of their Mii's outfit (overalls, shirt and cap); and lastly, make it so people can personalize the initial on the caps to match their own. My Mii decked out in black overalls and a green shirt and cap with the letter 'F' emblazoned on it would be too awesome for words...

Re: Fact Sheet: Wii U - 1080p HD confirmed, No BluRay

Deviant_Mugen

That picture looks fantastic...

Personally, I'm way more intrigued by how Nintendo's going to change the way I play games with their new controller (as I was with the Wii), than by its HD output. Nintendo already made fantastic-looking games on the Wii, so all this really does is take away third-party developers' excuses for leaving Nintendo out when it comes to ports. Of course—as all you cynics are already speculating—they'll probably change their tune and abandon ship once the competition announces their new, more powerful consoles...

From what I gleaned from the press release, I am concerned by the fact that it sounds like the Wii U will only support one of its new controllers at a time, though. Hopefully this will be further elaborated upon once a bit more time passes. Literal split-screen multi-player would really make some genres—the FPS genre in particular—shine on the Wii U, so it'd be a shame if this was hampered by the fact that you could only use one touch-screen controller at a time...

Re: Reaction: Third-Party Wii U Games Confirmed

Deviant_Mugen

Nice to see third-parties jumping on the bandwagon now that HD is on the table. Hopefully Bethesda will toss their hat into the ring with ports of Fallout 3 and Fallout: New Vegas...

@James: "Through an on-stage video we already know about several third-party games on the way to Nitnendo's new home console:" In your excitement, it looks like you made a tiny slip-up...

Re: Mega Man: Dr Wily's Revenge Coming to 3DS VC

Deviant_Mugen

@TrevorTheChan: "In celebrating the game's 20th anniversary, what better time then than now?" Minor slip-up there...

I've only tried the original Mega Man and found it quite frustrating. Then again, I wasn't playing with a d-pad, so that made the more precise jumps that I needed to make damn near impossible...
