Re: Reggie: Nintendo's Diagnosis Of The Industry Before Wii Was "Too Much Complexity, Too Many Sequels"

Low

I emphasize with Reggies view of sequels since most Nintendo franchises enjoy one per console generation versus a cluster to keep shareholders and hardcore happy.

The Wii/DS era was eye opening for me as I found myself loving the quirky aesthetics of each consoles while listening to the consist drone of people crying about graphics. I will never forget Hirai’s ghetto comment about portables then watching the DS garner massive sales from children and adults alike.

Pro Wrestling on Master System....DEAR GOD. The Ghost Loin art is more odd than horrible. The games character is a teen Victorian era girl but reimagined on the box as a 80’s pop star. I’d wager Valis III on Turbografx 16 is worse with its middle age woman cosplaying Red Sonja.

Re: Video: Contra: Rogue Corps Has A Demo And It Isn't Co-Op

Konami seems to miss that western audiences saw Contra in the same light as Terminator and Aliens. One man vs a overarching seemingly impossible threat. Games like this and Neo Contra almost diminish the franchise to Power Rangers tongue in cheek interpretation. The last good Contra to me was still WayForwards.

Re: Mojang Cancels The Super Duper Graphics Pack For Minecraft

Low

While disappointing it’s important to remember that Minecraft’s graphics hold a spot that other titles would kill for. All the advanced lighting and physics consistently melt away with each new plateau while Minecraft’s bare world is as iconic and comforting as booting up Super Mario Bros.
