Re: Japanese Games Market Falls To Lowest Point In 26 Years, But Full Picture Remains Elusive

This is one of the few thing that I don't like about Japan.. People over there have a serious problem of ''sheep mentality'' where every time a new fad breaks off, everyone and their mother will run after it, trying to not be left behind.. Mobile gaming is just one of them, other recent fads are their creepy obsession with food and cheap plastic stuff that screams ''made in China''..

Re: Xenoblade Chronicles X Creator Tetsuya Takahashi Prefers Western Games To Japanese Ones

@Bobbery My, oh, My.. The irony is very strong in you my friend..

So games from Platinum, or games like the Souls series, the Yakuza series, the new westernized open world games like MGSV or FFXV are old and their devs ''needs to get with the times'', right?

Oh, but not Nintendo! No, sir! Even though they're still making platformers to this day, even though they're still making Marios, Zeldas and Pokemon to this day, even though they're still making the same IPs with the same formulas.. They're different and very modernized, right?

They're totally not still stuck in the 90's, right?

Sit down, Clown..

I have to say that I didn't read the whole thing due to limited time, but from what I have read, I got few question marks..

You said that by the PS2 era, you got burned out from JRPG because they were the ''same old, same old'', but then you go on and say that you ''possibly still too stuck to the old ways'' and ''kept longing for the perfection of the simpler days of Chrono Trigger.''..

Another interesting thing that I noticed that you didn't say anything about JRPG handhelds (from what I have read at least), which is interesting, seeing as how most of the good ones where moved there (Fire Emblem, Dragon Quest, Monhon etc..)

''the wiiU is an abyssmal failure, not just in sales but in the games it has.''

Yet it has more and higher rated exclusives than the competition, right?

''They're safe sequels and rehashes''

Yes, Just like Splatoon, Wonderful 101, Devil's Third as well as games that had only one prequel like Xenoblade and Bayonetta, right?

"The console lacks even basic features"

You mean just like the PS4's lack of backwards compatibility or folders creation?

''and the VC is so terrible''

Yet it's at least it's there, unlike the competition.. And with games from 6 different systems, no less.. If that's ''terrible'' to you, then what do you think about the PS4's non-existing VC?

"made worse by the fact that wiiU VC games are unplayable because of input lag."

I have played 2 Metroid, 4 Rockman and 3 Castlevania games so far from the VC, didn't experience any lag except when I resumed playing immediately after quick-saving from the menu.

"But the worst thing is the games on the wiiU just have no ambition or soul in them."..."NSMB is always the same game"

Umm.. You do realize that new super mario has also been on highly successful systems like the Wii and DS, right?

"So why would I want to go buy another nintendo console, so I can get the same rehashed mario, mk, smash games now more HDier."

I have a Wii, Wii U and a 3DS right now. Not counting the old systems like the Gameboy or the Super Family.. I have never bought a Mario Kart game in my life.. Never. Period. And the only Mario games that I have played recently were the 3D ones like Galaxy or 3D World.. My point is that there're more to Nintendo than the nth Mario or Mario Party games, It's absolutely possible that you own and enjoy a Nintendo system without Mario or even Zelda. Any one who have actually looked and thought deeply at Nintendo systems will tell you that. Only people who glance and superficially look at the Wii U would say that it has nothing beside Mario.

"I'll need to see results first but the wiiU has destroyed much of my confidence in nintendo."

Exactly my point, Just one thing you don't like you immediately give up and ''loss'' your worthless trust.. I'm a huge Sony fan, do you have any idea how disappointed I was with the PS3? You think the Wii U sucks? Imagine buying a PS3 at launch all the way back in 2006 just for 2 games; Final Fantasy and Ape Escape, only to find out the one of them never even showed up and the other came out after 4 long years, only to be found out just how garbage it was.

Did that made me ''loss'' faith or trust? No. I just accept it, took what I had and moved on with it, because to me, there was nothing for me to loss anything over to begin with, I never had ''faith'' or ''trust'' in a company or a product to begin with, that's just dumb.

That's why I agreed with the other guy when he described you as ''sad''.

Re: Talking Point: Sweeping Internal Changes Show That Nintendo Is Ready To Tackle New Challenges

@Artwark There're people like that out there.. Highly emotional and fragile that one bad E3 conference is enough to destroy their ''trust'' and make them forget about the tons upon tons of great experiences they had before that.. I know a guy who was a relentless Nintendo ''white knight'' who made podcast after podcasts defending Nintendo and the Wii U.. The day after their E3 conference, he made a video of him selling his Wii U and his entire collection of Amiibos.. All 30ish of them.

It's like you've wrote: sad.

Re: Review: LBX: Little Battlers eXperience (3DS)

I would have understand that no online is a big problem if this was an Xbox game or was reviewed by a Xbox gamer, but this is a 3DS game.. Personally, I'm gonna buy this for sure, no multiplayer usually means more focus on story and characters.

@Tsurii @geminiSaint Yeah, I know that.. Hell, I have read most of them and have them on my laptop.. I was talking about the quality not the quantity, what I meant was that the Zelda manga that I have read were garbage. English isn't my first language so I might have expressed that wrongly lol.

Re: Masahiro Sakurai Tackles Criticisms of Bonus Features in Games

GMB-001

Japanese devs needs to understand that western people, especially Americans, like to complain for the sake of complaining. Even themselves are now slowly beginning to see this about themselves, but they think it's just the sjw people only.. No, it's a bigger cultural problem than just that.

Re: Poll: What Do You Want From Nintendo's NX Platform?

GMB-001

I voted for Hybrid because what lots of people don't get is that Nintendo never was big on 3rd party games to begin with, even since the family and super family days, the only exception were the Japanese 3rd part exclusives such as Castlevania, Rockman and Final Fantasy.. If you look at what most people liked from those two consoles, you won't find western games like Batman or Madden.. Just Japanese games.

And this is why I want the NX to be a hybrid, because Nintendo have those Japanese 3rd party exclusives on their handhelds like Monhon, Bravely Default and Megaten, They just need a way to bring those kinds of games to their consoles as well, and a hybrid system is the best way to do so.

''Today most hardware design is left to other companies, but when you make hardware without taking into account the needs of the eventual software developers, you end up with bloated hardware full of pointless excess. From the outset one must consider design from both a hardware and software perspective.''

This is exactly how I feel about current PC gaming.. Excessive power and hardware but in the end, they either play low budgeted flash games and indies, or play multiplats just with better graphics..

PCs usually required to have lots of power to run games not because they're impressive, but because their badly made, just like that game couple years ago where half of its size was made of uncompressed audio files..

And this is also why western developers usually prefer to work with PCs and powerful consoles instead of Handhelds like the 3DS or the Vita, They just don't want to bother with being efficient and fully utilize the hardware's capabilities, they just want to make games quickly and be done with it, that's why you usually see glitches, bugs, game freezes and broken games more frequently with western developers than Japanese ones.. EA, Activison, MS, Ubisoft, LJN and the biggest offender of them all; Bethesda.

Re: Keiji Inafune Teases Possible Mega Man Legends Successor Red Ash

@adzix I'm calling him a fraud because of other issues, not this one..

He's a fraud because before he left Capcom, he was running his mouth and trash talking the Japanese game industry, saying things like: ''Japan is over. We’re done. Our game industry is finished.” and '' Japan is at least five years behind'' and how they ''have to learn more from western games and create games that'll sell more in the western market. ''

Ok, Cool.. So they need to make western games, right? They need to appeal to the western market, right?

Umm.. When he finally left Capcom, what was the very first game he made as an independent developer?

Hyperdimension Neptunia, A turn-based JRPG with cute anime girls..

Fraud Confirmed..

He also said: ''The ideas, gameplay, design — there’s no diversity, no originality.” when talked about the Japanese industry..

Ok, Cool.. So no more sequels, right? No more rehashes, right?

But what game is he currently working on right now? That's right, Mighty No.9, A Rockman clone..

Fraud Confirmed..

And even if you try to justify that by mentioning how this game came after long years of no Rockman games, He was already rehashing and making sequels after sequels even back when Capcom was still making Rockman games..

And this is without even mentioning his recent BS with Mighty No.9 because I'm sure most of you already knows it..

The guy is a fraud, There's no denying or damage controlling that..

The only people who actually likes him are you westerners, and that's mostly because you don't know half the stuff we know about this fraud..

He's a Westaboo, He talked mean things about Japan just because they weren't making the typical western games like the dudebro shooters or the buggy open world games.. Half of his recent projects are all western games made with western studios just because he loves the American culture..

Like I have said, Fraud..

Please, language.-Morpheel

Re: Keiji Inafune Teases Possible Mega Man Legends Successor Red Ash

@Einherjar

Umm.. No, he didn't.. The real creator was Inafune's mentor, Akira Kitamura.. Inafune himself said that:

''You told me that I am the father of Mega Man, but in fact it was already created when I joined the team at Capcom. My mentor, Akira Kitamura, had already created the character and knew what he wanted to make the game. Therefore, I only participate in its development. When Rockman arrived on the Super Famicon, I asked what if he was given a new look? But the design wasn't accepted and it became the character Zero". -Infafune TGS 2007

''I only did half of the job in creating him. I didn't get to completely design a Mega Man [protagonist] from scratch until Zero (Mega Man X)''..

''Akira Kitamura (A.K.) was the one who came up with the concept and did all the gameplay design on MM1 and 2''

But please, continue to worship that fraud while the real geniuses like Mr. Kitamura get completely forgotten by the blind masses.

Re: Capcom Turns to Comedy Duo in Quirky Marketing for The Great Ace Attorney

I understand Japanese a little bit..The second commercial:

"I found you, Criminal!"

"I'm the lawyer!"

"With this face?!" (Not sure about this one)

"My face got nothing to do with it!!''

(Announcer talks about the release date)

"With this, It's OK!"

"I said I'm not the culprit!"

"OK~"

"I said you're wrong!"

Not sure about the last line, But he basically deny something, like his guilt or something..
