Re: Capcom Wants Your Help For Future Digital Releases

Intrepid

I voted for Ace Attorney. Though I was not able to be more specific than that, I'm hoping that this could lead to Ace Attorney Investigations 2 being digitally released on the Nintendo e-Shop (because they won't make it a physical 3DS release apparently).

Re: Talking Point: Time to Adjust Nintendo Direct Expectations

Intrepid

I never watch them with huge expectations; I watch them because whatever it is they discuss, odds are I don't know about it. Anything new is good to me. We should be thankful they decided to do this at all. When I was younger, Nintendo was very tight lipped, and you were lucky to know anything. Nintendo Power's Game and Watch Forecast was as good as you could get back then.

Re: Wii Mini Is Official And Has No Online Connectivity

Intrepid

I'm not sure this will sell, but good luck to Nintendo. Definately odd, but interesting. I like how the mini top loads disks; makes for faster start up.

To those that are only interested in the red controller, you could justify the purchase of a Wii Mini like this: $40 for remote and $20 for the nunchuck make $60, and the remaining $40 would be the purchase of a collector's item. Besides that, it looks cool to display, and opens up the possibility of playing your library of Wii games in more places.

Re: Father Gender-Bends Link For The Benefit of His Zelda-Loving Daughter

Intrepid

@Morphtroid I laughed so hard when you mentioned that! I'm suprised everyone is being so civil.

In my opinion, it was nice that her father did this, but it is unnessecary. Video games, as a medium, have always been typically male centric, because more men than women play video games. As such, the protagonist is also usually a male. Things have changed since then, though. Girls can now be the female character in Pokemon instead of being a boy (though personally, I have not met a single girl player during the red/blue games that ever thought it was a big deal). I feel that for girls that play games with male characters, it isn't really a problem because they appreciate it for what it is: A story about a person doing something. They can relate to the person in other ways that stretch beyond gender, and can also just find other aspects about a game to like. Does the reader of a book or the watcher of a movie like it any less because it is about someone of the opposite gender? No. I see plenty of girls cosplay as Link instead of Zelda, and Mario instead of Peach.

Re: The Definitive Guide To Wii U

Intrepid

@Bluezealand In NA, it was the little cardboard disk sleeve. I didn't know Europe got a regular box for it though; that's awesome.

I could go either way on color, but I think black wins just slightly. I agree though that people should be able to have the colors no matter what bundle.

Re: The Definitive Guide To Wii U

Intrepid

Thanks for the summary! I'm definately going to get the deluxe, but one thing worries me, and I'm sure most people will think it's trivial; how is Nintendo Land going to be bundled? As a collecter, I like each game to be in its own box, and I prefer physical copies, so if the game is being packed like Wii Sports was on the Wii, without its plastic box, or already preloaded on the system, that will be frustrating.

Re: Reward Yourself With Smash Bros. on NA Club Nintendo

Intrepid

I have the original cartridge, so I probably will not get this. Good reward though.

@DreamingHawk No, it won't. We have had quite a few good download games (Super Mario Kart, Mario Tennis, Majora's Mask, and Mario Party 2, to name a few), but I still hold firm to my belief that NA Club Nintendo needs better stuff.

Re: Rumour: Legend Of Zelda: Majora's Mask Coming To 3DS

Intrepid

I would prefer to have the Majora's Mask remake instead of the "new" Zelda, which would probably end up being another Phantom Hourglass/ Spirit Tracks. I never finished the game because I never had the time to get to it, but having cleaner graphics, 3D, and most importantly, portability, will make me want to play again and finally finish it.

And Nintendo is more likely to release Majora's Mask because they have a lot of resources they can reuse from OoT 3D. They can't say the same for LttP.
