I think the 2017 decision of nvidia shield has a upgraded cpu, compared to switch

@SonOfVon
The Nvidia shield is the best and most popular Android TV player (stream video, play games locally and cloud, emulation, iptv, plex server, apps, smarthome hub...) and sells pretty well. It's not just about playing games. If you're ignorant about the facts, at least google about them

@ajcismo if a publisher doesnt sell the amount is was expeting, and then reevaluates their publishing policies, can you blame them? in the case of DQ7, the game has already been released in NA on PS1, so they could use the original translation, but its still a financial gamble. Bravely did nice, but was a original release, not a remake. As long as they keep the costs down, and receive Nintendo support, DQ7 could make decent business, especially trough digital sales (more than that, dont believe)

also, the same happens to the music or movies industry. just look at the amount of crap movies released during summer, all playing it safe. im just saying that publishers look at past sales data, and try to predict where they might make money, or not. And Square is hardly in a amazing financial situation right now, so they really try to not have a loss.

all im saying is that people around here forget that this is a business. dont expect Square to make a financial loss, just to show its fans some love. you dont run a business on "love" and "appreciation" (though they might try to convey that feeling trough marketing. in the end, games are meant to sell and make a profit). if some dont have the capacity to understand that yet, they will as soon as they grow up past their romantic view of the industry

@Geonjaha people, who? internet users on forums? dont see "us" as the majority. they need more than a niche group to make a profit.
releasing games is always a gamble, and all comes down to how much of an investment they would have to make in order to translate the game. if they keep the costs down, with a decent marketing push, it might turn in a profit and make it worth their while.
Would you gamble/bet your own money on DQ7's success?

@ajcismo
their only problems with nintendo consumers are the sales. on the wiiu there are few systems sold, and on the 3ds, anything that isnt published by nintendo likely doesnt get sold (as seen on the charts). all comes down to the money. its expensive to release games, so they try not to risk too much

As long as they dont make it "New 3DS" only, id buy it.

that said, still reckon only a few would buy it. "Nintendo Life" audience is a niche

just got a 3ds not long ago, never gonna upgrade, guess Xenoblade is not for me then

catching up with flash cart homebrew functionality, finally

hope theyre free

casuals dont pay for their games anymore. ask any hopeful ios developer...
nintendo just has to try to maintain a balance

will def get a PC... and maybe later a PS4 (nothing there right now)

by "stable", nintendo means "unable to work with the new flashcarts"

at least we know theyre working on it. hope it hits the euro shores soon

@Croz
maybe thats easier said than done. maybe that would complicate the whole engine...

great! now i know what to think and how to behave

My first DS game. Was fun for a month, during the "Touch Generation" era. After that, got Phoenix Wright. Great times

Already a proud owner of a WiiU... but recon that in 1-2 years, when the good games are here, i'll also get a PS4 for the multiplats/exclusives. Until then, theres not much there besides remakes. TLOU and GTA5 are tempting, though (never played them, though i also own a ps3)
XO doesnt interest me

sweet. gonna download now

still a shame that they didnt announce Majoras Mask 3DS.
Maybe they didnt want to present 3 Zeldas at once, and are holding it back for another expo

that, metroid u & fzero u

I expect Majoras Mask 3DS and maybe a new Fzero... and lets go crazy here, a new franchise, no? Rehashes are nice... but new franchises are better

the couple of bucks nintendo will make with this wont compensate for the image theyre left with. this cashgrab is just too desperate

Do I see a Resident Evil spinoff starring Luigi? Dead Mansion on the WiiU

some PR guys live in an alternate reality

im so bad at charades

i can buy MK8 for 48€ on amazon. why bother paying 60€? those are insane prices

as long as the vanilla version has at least the same amount of content as last entries, no problem with DLC.
But if they cut content like other publisher do, that's another story

@Kyloctopus
doubt that throwing money at Ubi would have them sell more consoles, and certainly not with GR. Its no COD, and only a few will care. Nintendo has to chose wisely before spending money

they definitely should not put all their eggs in the videogame basket. they have to expand into other areas... like sony & ms do. more than a videogame company, theyre a entertainment company, and QOL fits into that

they really need to ship outside the UK. to limit this to 1 country in Europe is a one-finger salute from Nintendo

hope that they're just testing the waters, and then set up shop elsewhere too

@element187
riiiight...except BD is on the 3DS, DQX on the low-selling WiiU

so far the eShop has been too expensive for me to bother (only bought NES Remix 1 so far). The same can be said about Live & PSN. Dont mind having to swap discs, certainly not going to pay trough the nose just to be able to change games without having to leave the couch

good to see nintendo joining the 21st century

funny... i have the exact same thing. Its called a normal pillow.
This is nothing but a sugarcoated turd sold at a premium

@Ony
the problem is not the console missing 1 game, like Metroid. You honestly believe all it takes is Metroid?

@Jmaster
who cares? wasnt talking about the X1. Dont even have one. And if I did, wouldnt also buy digital on their service

at the prices nintendo charges for digital downloads, good luck to them.

@Ichiban
the Genesis/MegaDrive version is better, because its not censored

now IGN deals in "my aunt heard from my sister, who heard it from the neighbour"?

Oh, thats why I dont visit that site anymore...

cool. was about to get Windwaker HD. Will definitely wait until may

yohi's remote is a bit fugly. Those colors dont work together. A lime green one with white D-Pad maybe

@GougeMan
shot in the arm? easy! F-Zero U, Zelda U, WaveRace U, Metroid U, Blast Corps U, new original IP's... along those lines

@GougeMan
im 34 and would love such an offer, but had i been on the fence about getting a WiiU, free roms would not have convinced me to get the machine. Dont think such an offer would turn the WiiU's fortunes around and have a decisive impact in sales

@GougeMan
really? maybe old games are important to you, but to the average gamer theyre not. and id be disgusted if the wiiu were "saved" by old games. Thats hardly why i bought a wiiu. theyre nice to play inbetween good wiiu games, but theyre certainly not system sellers.

Im sure a couple of gamers would be tempted to get a wiiu because of those 100 free games... but wouldnt certainly turn the fate around. and you saying that it would cost nintendo nothing to give away roms, is the same like saying nintendo wouldnt lose money by giving away MK8 etc for free on the eShop (because its "digital" and doesnt exist in the "real" world)

dont be fooled by what is said around this website. over here everybody is a huge nintendo fan and we love anything nintendo does... but we're definitely in the minority and other people would not be as easily convinced to buy a WiiU just based on 100 free retro games.

im right now playing NES Remix1, and while its fun, dont think ill get the sequel, certainly not at 10€.
Maybe one day, when im lacking any WiiU games to play and theres a discount... but id rather wait for SNES Remix

@Emblem
i apologize. i came out a little bit strong. will also edit my comment

there are tons of companies that just exist to sue other companies. they buy all the patents they can buy, and then try to find any big company who has similar products, and just sues them

the parasites of the economy

@Emblem
considering Canada is part of NA, and french is a official language over there, that language should be made available
also, dont think that games are allowed to be sold in french speaking regions of canada, unless they have french as an option

the funny thing is that the EU version will certainly have Spanish & French
classic nintendo. does stuff in their own detached logic

Games that sell hardware and make people happy!? Nintendo, take notice, there might be something here to learn for the WiiU

This, Tomodatchi, etc... are the reason people buy the 3DS, exclusive and fun games, different experiences, that you really cant have anywhere else

Like Battlefield 3 ... and to some degree 4
Just hope that they stop milking it, now that they have the Star Wars licence. They can milk and destroy that instead

will wait for reviews... certainly not buying stuff out of hype or feel
