The delay of this makes me think this helps their plans to try and squeeze the life out of the Wii U until NX arrives. Zelda U is coming to NX (maybe a dual release like TP) for sure, and delaying Star Fox is basically Nintendo stalling to make time for the NX launch.
On the topic of LOZ:TP HD... does anybody know what projects Grezzo is currently working on??? I can't recall if I saw they were working on anything new post-Majora...
@Kaze_Memaryu Agreed. Over the past year or so, these "internet leaks" really, have only hurt Nintendo. In today's age, the internet seems to quick to judge something at face value before they've had a chance to really evaluate it. I think Nintendo is opting for more of an "Apple-esque" approach, and drop last-minute release bombs on the public. It helps reduce product speculation, falsification and the like.
The problem is, the internet seems to know what they want before they've ever had a chance to recieve it, and then are quick to bash something that isn't quite what they were expecting. Also, these leaks only help to overhype products more-so than they actually need.
I really hope they are hard at work behind the scenes more than I'm assuming, and truly suprise me around NX reveal time.
It seems Nintendo has done their part to reach out to third parties regarding NX... now we wait to see what the results are.
@DestinyMan Agreed about the TreeHouse Demos... I never thought developer demos/interviews would ever sway my own personal interests but I definitely invested some time into the Treehouse demos and gotta say.... AWESOME IDEA!! Gives the devs a chance to explain concepts and show the games more so than would of had a chance to prior.
Here's hoping they do more developer events in the future and continue to produce Nintendo Direct videos throughout the year as well
Glad that Ninty did its own thing....CORRECTLY this time. I feel as though "being different" is finally paying off for Nintendo as the internet trends are suggesting that gamers are starting to grow tired of the same recycled garbage. Nintendo needs to keep a happy medium between listening to the fans and supporting their own vision and goals. If they only listened to fans, we would never have much for innovation, and If they only supported their own vision, gamers could potentially lose interest.
It will definitely be exciting to follow Nintendo over the next couple months leading into 2015. My only worry is that they won't be able to maintain momentum into all those great '15 releases scheduled ahead of us. IF they can maintain this enthusiasm into 2015, I'm confident that Nintendo will do just fine in the marketplace by appeasing old fans, and converting new ones too!
Glad they keep showing these small tweaks such as the platform colors and the steam emissions from damaged players. All of these little things will continue to add up and hopefully this will be the best smash yet!!!
GamerJunkie, please just stop posting. I'm cringing reading your posts. You have such a narrow minded view when it comes to gaming. You and all "cool" friends go smash your face into your tablets. Ninety will be fine in regards to the Wii U, it just needs time like any new console. It's people like you who confuse the masses into believing that there are even 10 lengthy, great games (good controls a must!) on the entire App Store. Just lots of angry birds dude. So take it somewhere else. Perhaps, Engadget or somewhere? I think you would fit in well there.
I'm actually really pleased to see such a significant price drop on the E-shop for a disc-based retail game..... talkin' to you Tekken Tag Tourney 2!!!
Great NIntendo Direct. Really glad they announced what they did in regards to VC. Things could definitely be much worse. My only concern is the speed in which these titles will be released for the Wii U VC. Oh, that and Gamecube games too. I'm dying that there hasn't been a GC announcement yet. Really glad to see a new 3D Mario is in the works. Hope it is a completely new adventure and not another Galaxy game or New Bros. game! Also keep the system updates coming Nintendo!! To keep interest in the console, it should never cease to receive new features!
I honestly hate playing RE or any other zombie game for that matter. Reason being, I panic and freak our during tense moments!!! This is a compliment to Zombie U in the fact that it looks way to "intense" for me.
But seriously Nintendo, please either release the GB version for VC, or preferably make a new entry in the series for Wii U. I mean, Wave Race with the WiiPad...C'mon!!!
I loved this RPG! The environment and world in which you were in the clouds was awesome, as it appealed to the "final fantasy 'airship' " in me. Voice acting would be nice possibly, but as said earlier, the battle speed could be upped by a small amount.
I loved how it wasn't just land battles, but you also had to have ship battles as well! And this game rewards exploration!
I agree that I feel that the Virtual Boy was released to serve the purposes as a "home console" as opposed to being a "portable". Maybe it should be in this list, I'm not for certain.
As for the GBA and the GBA SP, you covered both, but what about the MICRO?????????
Even though it had a short life and not much for sales, it was still a pretty cool portable in the fact that it was so small! This article really should be updated to include the Micro though, jus' sayin
Still on my to buy list. After reading (mostly) positive reviews and hearing what the fans of had to say, this is a definite must buy. For those that own it, is the replay value really good or no? Wondering if you feel a desire to replay parts on higher difficulties or not without anything growing too stale.
I'd like to see some real innovation with the 3D classics here Ninty. As a simple remaster, they could sell tons if they picked a proper title. I've been waiting and waiting for some solid substance to hit the EShop. C'mon Nintendo!
