Re: Nintendo Provides Some Context to 2013's Tomodachi Life Same-Sex Marriage Controversy

Dreamcaster-X

I support gay marriage & live in a state that supports it as well but Nintendo is damned if they do & damned if they don't on this issue.
If they do include it, idiot groups like FOX news will run rampant stories about how Nintendo is dooming children with their "gay agenda" by completely manipulating & twisting the facts to their views & Nintendo just simply doesn't want to deal with this considering their heritage with games that are usually family safe. Honestly I'm even surprised the game is getting released here due to the inevitable questions that this issue as well as the pregnancy stuff could potentially raise.

Re: Feature: The Ultimate Super Smash Bros. Direct Round-Up

Surely Nintendo has some big surprises up it's sleeve for this years E3. Even if they don't attend again they have GOT to have some big AAA titles unannounced that are coming later this year. Let's face it, they're pretty much going it alone going forward except for the occasional Lego title & whatever scraps Ubi tosses so they gotta have some surprises left. MK8 should sell consoles, but they need to start solidifying dates for Bayonetta 2 & X!!

Re: Talking Point: The Timing of Nintendo's Super Smash Bros. Direct Raises Expectations

Dreamcaster-X

It's an interesting time. There's not much on the 3DS horizon that we know about & the big Wii U titles we do know of have been in development for years. I'm hoping Nintendo has some tricks up its sleeve but a game delay wouldn't be out of the norm for them. It could be catastrophic to the Wii U though for this year if Bayonetta,MK8, & X are the only games coming. Even X is a long shot at best. They NEED SSMB badly this year to get things turned around.

Still I can't wait to play MK8!!

Re: Talking Point: The Logic Behind Game Boy Advance on the Wii U Virtual Console

I posted this in another article but it bears repeating for those that might have missed out on the GBA library. : )

The GBA is home to the second best library of games behind the SNES & if you count ports it would even beat the SNES. I've been playing them for about 2 years now & it seriously has one super deep library of games.
It's home to an original Zelda game, an original Metroid game as well as a hell of a remake of the first Metroid, the Advance War series, 3 of the best Castlevania games ever made, Golden Sun series, some of the best Pokemons in the series, Sonic Advance trilogy, Mario Kart Super Circuit, Mario & Luigi Superstar Saga, Mario Golf Advance, Mario Tennis Power Tour, Drill Dozer, Astro Boy, Gunstar Heroes Advance, Final Fantasy Tactics Advance, Tactics Ogre, 2 Fire Emblems, Super Robot Taisen series, Ninja Five-O, Kirby & The Amazing Mirror, Wario Land 4, Mega Man Zero series, Mega Man Battle Network series, both Klonoa games, a great Lunar remake, Mother 3, F-Zero Maximum Velocity, I could go on & on. Hopefully Nintendo mines their super deep catalog on the GBA platform because it truly is home to some of the best games ever made.

Re: Advance Wars Bringing the Battle to the Wii U Virtual Console on 3rd April

To those saying these should only be on portables, speak for yourselves. The GBA games look pretty fantastic on a 60 inch TV without any special filter running in 1080p. What's funny is alot of indie games are trying to replicate that 16-bit sprite look & they just never seem to get it right.

I should note this is via emulator, what the actual Wii U version will look like is anyone's guess.

Re: Wii U and 3DS Nintendo Direct Confirmed for 13th February

Dreamcaster-X

This just isn't the time for Nintendo to be secretive about it's software lineup. Do something different, just come out BALLS TO THE WALLS with upcoming games!! Just show everything being worked on for the Wii U and give general release dates. Why no new footage for X??? Stop with the secrecy, it ain't working this time around. Just come out swinging!!!

Re: Sonic & All-Stars Racing Transformed Finally Hitting the Track in Japan

Dreamcaster-X

@unrandomsam Yeah but the mobile ones are really gimped graphically. Even the Wii U, PS3, & 360 versions had stuff cut out that is in the PC version.
There's so much more going on in the PC version via backgrounds & foreground stuff that the console versions just couldn't run with their limited RAM. I was delighted to get the PC version recently & experience the "full version", I had no idea so many little things were going to be added.

The best Kart racer since Double Dash!!! Yeah I said it, I think it's much better than MK Wii!!! This was a straight up hardcore kart racer that challenged you with gorgeous bright colorful graphics, amazing tracks, creative vehicles, & nostalgic music!! It's a shame the Wii U version didn't get the DLC that the PC did. I love racing around as Ryo!!

Re: Nintendo Direct Focusing On Wii U And 3DS Games Coming Spring 2014 To Air Tomorrow

Dreamcaster-X

It'll probably be some new Wii Sports additions and some vague dates for MK8 & Smash Bros. Like Spring & Fall. They have been doing such a good job of getting games out this fall but nobody is buying the Wii U despite it.
When a game as good as Super Mario 3D World can't turn around your fortunes, you're in trouble & at this point I don't even think MK & SSMB are gonna help. = (

Re: Soapbox: Even With The Arrival Of PS4 And Xbox One, I'd Still Pick The Wii U

Dreamcaster-X

@Senario If anything the Wii U had a easier time of it in the press at launch than PS4 or XB1. Just look at the review scores & you will see some SUPER critical scores for both consoles lineup. The new consoles have not really done anything differently in the way that other consoles have launched and actually have had really big lineups compared to consoles in the past. Even if half those games are ports from other systems they're still launch titles and the Wii U was criticized for the same thing last year. If we wrote off every console for having a poor launch we'd never have any systems.
I don't think players started criticizing the Wii U til after launch that it didn't have games & they would be right. It was pretty much a ghost town til August.
