Re: Editorial: Cheer Up, There Are Some Exciting Games on the Way

HFish12

Although Nintendo disappointed many by announcing an unwanted Metroid game and a baffling Animal Crossing for Wii U, you also have to think about the good news this brings, even though we may criticize the games themselves. At least Nintendo is bringing their old IPs back such as Metroid and Star Fox, and that's exciting news. On top of that, we know that a Metroid game will soon be in development for the NX.

Just like what Nintendolife said, there are still plenty of great games coming out this year even if they weren't exactly what we wanted. I'm hyped for Super Mario Maker, Mario Tennis: Ultra Smash, and Yoshi's Wolly World. Not all E3s are going to be dead-on perfect, and those that aren't don't ruin everything. It's more of a disappointment then anything, and, hey, life is full of disappointments. I'm not here to say that the Nintendo community should stop being infuriated, but rather to focus on the positives. Admittedly, I'm among the millions of Nintendo fans that were frustrated at Nintendo's Digital Event, but I've moved past that now. Let's just be Nintendo fans and nothing else.

Whoever is complaining that Star Fox Zero should be on the 3DS, just stop. Without the Star Fox announcement at E3, the Wii U would have hardly any titles while the 3DS is stacked. Even if it was a remastered remake, the 3DS already has a Star Fox game. Be thankful that you got a massive plethora of good games for the 3DS that were shown at E3 this year.

Yeah, I have to agree with you, Alex. The graphics are very unimpressive; however, you also have to consider the fact that Nintendo is supporting two screens and the Wii U runs on current-gen processors. Besides, it's a beta. Betas are there for the company to realize the game's issues and fix them. I'm not entirely worried about the outcome of Star Fox Zero.

Oh, and for those of you who are complaining about the controls, remember what Miyamoto said about a year ago: the gyros can be switched off. Although it doesn't solve all problems, it's better than waving your GamePad around like a lunatic.

Re: Poll: What Did You Think of Nintendo's E3 Digital Event?

HFish12

Overall, the presentation itself was...underwhelming. Nintendo made fans expect a lot of great surprises for the Wii U's library, but instead we got a ton of unoriginal 3DS games. Nintendo, I thought you promised wii U owners would be satisfied with their systems! You're beginning to lose my faith. Where was QOL, NN3DS exclusives, and Zelda Wii U?! Star Fox looks great, though. Thank you for that. But everything else? Underwhelming, that's for sure. VERY underwhelming.

Re: Iwata: Nintendo NX Will Surprise People And Change Their Video Gaming Lives

HFish12

Even though the Wii was my first gaming console, I'm still considered a retro gamer having the original NES system. Because of that I'm not going to easily adapt to virtual reality. With that said, I really hope Nintendo doesn't go that far with their technology.

However, I am looking forward to a fresh console with (finally) interaction between home and handheld consoles. While it's possible that Sony and Microsoft will jump into virtual reality soon, Nintendo should stick with their traditional mechanics. If Nintendo wants to look toward virtual reality for "new experiences", they should reconsider their options. Companies have already developed virtual reality headsets, so Nintendo wouldn't really be making anything new and previously found nowhere else.

Re: Talking Point: It's Time for a Nintendo Direct to Set the Agenda

Nintendo still needs to answer some of my questions, and hopefully those include some release dates:

  • Super Smash Bros. Mewtwo DLC release date
  • More information on amiibo stock
  • Release date for amiibo NFC cards
  • Release dates for Yoshi's Wolly World, Splatoon, and Mario Maker
  • At least general release dates for Star Fox and Zelda (Q3, Q4, etc.)
  • An official name for the upcoming Zelda title...I can hardly wait to hear the name!
  • Mario Kart DLC (Animal Crossing) release
  • GameCube and N64 Virtual Console release

Re: Rumour: A Planned 2.5D Metroid Title For 3DS Got Cancelled in 2012

HFish12

Look, I've never really been into Metroid because I haven't played any of the games; however, I couldn't help my self but to give Metroid Prime Trilogy a shot after it was re-released on the Wii U eShop. After the first few minutes of playing, I realized that Nintendo needs to get their act together and develop a hardcore fanbase for the Wii U. With such a great franchise, why not use it?

There are people like me who haven't played Metroid: Other M, but who want another Metroid game. Doesn't everyone want an HD Metroid game for the Wii U? C'mon Nintendo, Samus hasn't been finding enough bounty lately.

Re: Xenoblade Chronicles X Will Feature An "Outstanding" Voice Cast

HFish12

I prefer to think of this game as the first in it's series. Of course Xenoblade Chronicles came first, but it was so rare and expensive that the general public hardly ever got their hands on it. Hopefully Nintendo aces it with Xenoblade Chronicles X this time around. I can't wait to feel the power!
