Re: Monochroma For Wii U Scrapped Due To Technical Issues

Imerion

Seriously, as a game developer myself I have to say I see nothing in this video that should be a problem to get to run on Wii U. I'd say they're just lazy or feel so pressed on time they feel they can't make more versions than one. Fair enough, but then they should say that and not blame it on technical issues...

Re: Rumour: Call Of Duty: Black Ops 3 Teased For Nintendo Release

Imerion

Perhaps the fact that Wii U sales have picked up a lot in wake of recent big titles, this is viable again. Especially since Treyarch have a great history of Nintendo ports. I really hope this is true! Will certainly buy it day one if it comes out for Wii U. Had lots of fun with the last two titles to arrive on the console.

By the way, is it possible to go in there and link the account? Maybe I should do that to encourage them to port.

Re: Mario Party 10 Shows Decent Stamina in Second UK Charts Week

Imerion

Nice to hear it does well! While I would have liked a few more boards, it's my favorite entry in the series this far. Bowser mode and it's co-op gameplay was amazingly fun and will be played on many parties to come. Standard gameplay is great too; I especially liked that there are so many fun events around the boards, like all attractions in the fairground, etc.

Re: Nintendo Confirms New 3DS eShop Shooter IronFall Invasion

Imerion

Also glad this is still on track. There are way to few action games for 3DS. It's a genre I like, and many of the ones that have been released have worked really well. I also really really hope this will have single-cart (or single download, I guess) multiplayer. Would be soo awesome to try that multiplayer. I might be able to get six persons with 3DS:es together, but without such a mode I won't get all of them to have the game...

Re: Watch: Catch Up With the North American, European and Japanese Nintendo Direct Broadcasts

Imerion

Soo hyped and happy now! Loads of good stuff this time, including a lot of surprises! My gaming future looks great indeed!

Just unhappy about one thing, that Pokémon puzzler. Why did they have to make it a stupid freemium, pay-to-win affair. Nintendo has stood up against that kind of crap for so long, and I really hope they will stay focused on providing good quality games for a decent cost, instead of crap games for zero cost (+ very high cost if you actually want to play it...)
Sorry, a bit angry there. But I can't help feeling the whole App Store-mentality is ruining more and more of the gaming world every day. A low one-time payment, or at least an option to buy the entire game for a higher sum like in Steel Diver feels much more honest.
Either way, it's just one title for the moment. As far as the big ones stay far out of this territory, I won't complain more.

Re: Interview: Shin'en Multimedia on FAST Racing NEO and its Development Approach

Imerion

So hyped for this! Loved the original and have played it loads. Also those screens look stunning! Hope we'll see more soon.
Thanks for putting so much time into this and making it for Wii U!

By the way, how many players will this be? Any chance of 5 players with four on the tv and one on the gamepad? I had hoped Mario Kart 8 would have that, but since it didn't my hope turned to other Wii U racers.

Re: Video: Footage Surfaces of Cancelled Wii Star Wars Title

Imerion

I really wish this would have been released! Would have bought it twice. Was so amazing on GC and this looks even better.

Also, I really liked Force Unleashed for the Wii, including the motion controls. It really nailed immersion without compromising advanced gameplay. Played it several times and would love a third one.

Re: Video: Aqua Moto Racing Utopia Footage Breaks Some Waves

Imerion

I think this looks both good and fun. If they can pull this off in 4 player multi, or even better, 5 player, then this could be really good. Also, the video says tech demo, so perhaps additional tweaks to physics and such will be made to make things feel more realistic and water-ish.

Re: Review: Aqua Moto Racing 3D (3DS eShop)

Imerion

I see. Very interesting information, though I'm sad it would be so complicated. But hopefully this game will sell well, or you get some investors for another game.
Also, thanks for the answers. One thing I really like about this page is that sometimes developers stop by and answer questions.

Re: Review: Aqua Moto Racing 3D (3DS eShop)

Imerion

Just bought this, even though the score here was a bit low. Used to play games from the Saturn/Playstation era, so I don't usually have problems with some slowdown. No new game ever gets even close to how choppy some of those old games were. And if it is a problem, playing with 3D off seems to help. Still, an update with some optimizations to help these problems would be nice.
That, or that Wii U-version mentioned a few days ago. That would be too good to be true!

Re: Aqua Moto Racing 3D Developer Keen to Bring it to Wii U

Imerion

I'd really love to see this on Wii U! Will download the 3DS version any day now, since I've really been craving for something Wave Race-like for a while after playing Wii Sports Resort. The fact that it has Download Play makes me want it even more. A very awesome addition. I'll think I'll get my 3DS now and download it.

Anyway, nice to hear them want to support Nintendo platforms. As said, Aqua Moto Racing for Wii U, with splitscreen support, would be a blast at gaming nights!

Re: Activision Comes Out in Support of Circle Pad Expansion

Imerion

For most FPS games, I don't feel this is necessary. I really liked aiming with the stylus. As long as developers won't remove or stop using stylus aiming in games in favor for a second analog stick, I guess this could be useful though. In other types of action games perhaps.

Re: Review: FAST - Racing League (WiiWare)

Imerion

Played this all day! I'd give it a 10/10 no doubt. The only WiiWare games I can think of that I have enjoyed more are World of Goo and Cave Story. (And it might change, depending on how fun FAST is in multiplayer.)
But then again, I really like futuristic racers. As many have mentioned, certainly the best in the genre available for Wii apart from F-Zero GX.
I really hope it sells well, so Shin'en will consider more WiiWare games.
Then again, will be really interesting to see what they can do on 3DS too.

Re: Rumour: Sonic Generations and Time Crisis Heading to 3DS

Imerion

It's really strange if a Sonic game would not be released on Wii considering how well the other Sonic-games have sold there. Sonic Unleashed sold more than twice as well on Wii as on any other platform according to VGChartz. A 3DS and/or Wii version would really make sense.

Re: You Won't Get a Nintendo Console with a Buttonless Controller

Imerion

Good to hear! I have nothing against motion controls or touch screens, but they really need to be complemented with buttons in most cases or the games will suffer from it. Nothing I have played on touch-screen tablets or mobile phones have managed to work nearly as good as real buttons. Both in unison, like the DS, can be fantastic though.
