i reckon if the current sets take off (Vibe, Rift, PSVR) then i can see Nintendos next system (whatever comes AFTER NX) would have a VR system
but i really can't see VR being a mass market item yet because it's too expensive at the moment, a VR set costs as much if not more than a console does we are talking over £600 if you want PSVR for example because you have to buy a PS4 too (and before anyone say that the PC versions are cheaper, don't forget you have to have a powerful PC as well and those cost money too)
currently Nintendos target audience are kids so VR really is NOT worth it for them just yet i feel
i still think the best place for it to take place is after Zelda II, that way you don't have to fit it between any other game and all future games could just take place after this one
as for the kokiri well they could still evolve into the korok either way
still i'm sure Nintendo will tell us sooner or later WHERE it fits
@Utena-mobile well it's not morning everywhere you know
and if my comments sound curt it's because i broke a tooth in halve and i have to wait until next week to have it surgically removed, so i'm in pain (and slightly high on pain killers) and miserable and tired because i can't sleep properly so i apologise in advance
"The argument centres around an online multiplayer community, in particular - those that use the Dolphin emulator to play Melee online"
well how about playing it like it's supposed to be played, on a GameCube with your mates sat next to you instead of using it in a way it was NEVER meant to be used
carts are less prone to damage & they load quicker
yeah manufacturing cost might be an issue but when you can get little flash drives that can hold more data than a duel layer blu-ray disc why wouldn't you?
the only main downside i can see is the lack of Backwards Compatibility but then again Sony abandoned that on the PS3 and it hasn't REALLY done them much harm
i find the difficulty in Pokemon games to be just right be a few things do need fixing
1: we need the ability to refuse trainer battles on roads and in caves, i know they are big part of the series but they should be OUR choice 2: let us learn ALL moves but only use 4 in fights and chose what moves we want to have equipped
you know this doesn't bother me at all, because at the end of the day i'm still going to be able to get the game, hell i might even have a NX by that point
and it's not like this is the first Zelda game to be released on 2 systems at once, Twilight Princess was released on both the GameCube and the Wii
people are moaning for such a dumb reason, who cares if the Wii U doesn't have an exclusive Zelda or if it was delayed so they could release both versions at once, it's not like the game has been cancelled, just wait for the game to be released, play it and have fun
i think people are starting to get a little tired of this series after all how many more games can they release before they have covered every event?
and i think the novelty of having Sonic and Mario in it is wearing off too
they need to do a PROPER Mario and Sonic crossover with game play like Mario Galaxy and Sonic Colours, switching characters every stage IE: Stage 1- Mario, Stage 2- Sonic ETC
this just could be someone making a mock up based on the patent so i'll wait until Nintendo themselves show the controller and system before i make any judgements on it
@gcunit they were ports but the point still stands the GBA was powerful enough to play SNES games so the 3DS being more powerful than the N64 should be unless there is some other reason for it
@mystman12 that is possible but if that is the reason then Nintendo should come out and say it, it would stop all the confusion
@gcunit well if the GBA could play SNES games (a few were released on the system) and the 3DS can play GBA games (via VC) then it stands to reason that the 3DS can play SNES games
plus the fact it's powerful enough to run full 3D games
like i always say, when it comes to ANY info about unreleased products, i take everything with a pinch of salt until the actual company, in this case Nintendo release the details themselves
@Chaoz you know everyone assumes that FFVII Remake is coming on all systems because it said "Play it first on PS4" at the end of the trailer but over the years and all the re-releases FFVII has had it has NEVER been released on xbox or Nintendo and i think it's because the game was never actually published by Square, FFVII was in fact published by Sony Computer Entertainment (also by EA on PC Physical and Square on Steam but please note that publishing a game on Console, PC or Mobile each require a different license)
chances are that SCE are still the licence holder for ALL console releases of FFVII and if so there is also a chance it will NEVER be released on any other console but a PlayStation so i think when it says "Play it first on PS4" it means it will come to PC at a later date
i can see FFXV coming at some point in the future but not FFVII especially if Sony and PlayStation still own publishing rights to any and all CONSOLE versions of FFVII
as of now i think when the trailer said "Play it first on PS4" it meant it will also be coming to PC
still if the NX and XB1 end up getting it that's just better for all gamers
hey Nintendo, you know how the 3DS is internet enabled right so how about letting us download these off the eShop
not everyone has access to a game store you know, not after they went bankrupt and closed most of them for example the nearest one to my town is 38 miles away and over a 2 hour train journey
@Sligeach same here, last game i ordered never came and when i tried to get a refund they offered me in store credit, to which i said my town no longer had a store they said i could use it online or at a store in another town, so i told them to b******s
@Sligeach GAME had to close down here in England too but they were brought out before all their shops in the big cites were closed, none of the others opened back up though
@Sanicranfast but there are so many options nowadays such as online retailers like Amazon or Zavvi that are willing to stock Nintendo products and also they have a bigger reach than GAME do
most towns no longer have a GAME store (mine included) and buying from their website is like a minefield from overpricing to just undelivered products, they are unreliable
many other publishers have seen this and stopped giving GAME exclusive stuff, it's about time Nintendo did too

Re: E3 2016: Reggie Says VR "Needs to be Mainstream" For Nintendo To Get Involved

Re: Nintendo Sure Has Booked A Lot Of Floor Space For E3 2016
maybe they will be showing some info about NX
i'm betting that some of that floor space is for machines so people can play demos of upcoming games

Re: Video: Marvel at the Madness of Dragon Ball Fusions
we so need this game to be released over here in the UK, it looks AWESOME and a welcome change of pace for DB games
i just hope BNGames listen and release it over here
Re: Poll: Do You Want The Rumoured 'MH' Next Generation Portable to be Separate from NX?
i think they should be like the PS4 and Vita, independent systems that can interact with each other
Re: Rumour: Nintendo's Next Generation Handheld Is Codenamed "MH"
so if they are making a new handheld wouldn't that mean that all those rumours about the NX being a handheld/console hybrid being false?
Re: Sega "Very Interested" In Bringing Atlus Games To Europe
@Spideron yeah that makes sense
Re: Sega "Very Interested" In Bringing Atlus Games To Europe
what do they mean "Find a Way", they own them and they are a publisher so what's the issue?
Re: Rumour: Sources Go to Battle Again Over Nintendo NX Power
Until Nintendo announce the specs themselves i'll take all these rumours with a pinch of salt
Re: Random: EA Executive is as Non-Committal to NX as Possible, PR Assistant Approves

@Grumblevolcano why?
carts are less prone to damage & they load quicker
yeah manufacturing cost might be an issue but when you can get little flash drives that can hold more data than a duel layer blu-ray disc why wouldn't you?
the only main downside i can see is the lack of Backwards Compatibility but then again Sony abandoned that on the PS3 and it hasn't REALLY done them much harm
Re: Talking Point: What Would You Like to See From Pokémon Sun and Moon?
@TheWPCTraveler sounds good but i still think the option to just say NO when they challenge you should be an option
IE: Trainer walks up to you and says "would you like to battle" and you are given a choice "Yes" or "NO"
Re: Talking Point: What Would You Like to See From Pokémon Sun and Moon?
i find the difficulty in Pokemon games to be just right be a few things do need fixing
1: we need the ability to refuse trainer battles on roads and in caves, i know they are big part of the series but they should be OUR choice
2: let us learn ALL moves but only use 4 in fights and chose what moves we want to have equipped

Re: Konami and Capcom Are Bringing Some SNES Classics to New 3DS
i don't see why the original 3DS can't get SNES games as well because it's not like the extra power is needed to run them
just sounds like a bid to get people to buy a New3DS to me
Re: Reminder: Mythical Pokémon Celebi Is Now Available to Download in Current-Gen Games
@wazlon the nearest GAME to me is 40 miles away so even if i had remembered i still wouldn't have been able to get it T_T
they should release it through Nintendo Network at some point like they are with the others
Re: Reminder: Mythical Pokémon Celebi Is Now Available to Download in Current-Gen Games

it should have been called "Mega Man NES Collection"
