It needs to be able to compete though, so it needs to be equal or more powerful than those other consoles not only for 3rd party publishers but also because there isn't an excuse for it not to be.
While the source isn't always right, the screen size and control feedback seem realistic. Unless they delay the NX until December, they better reveal it soon.
That created some massive damage to the Mega Man franchise. And while Legends 3 is gone for good, maybe someday we might get a 3D mega man game similar to it. I never knew how poorly it was handled, with a demo serving as an interest gauge/funding tool and a community design group dictating whether or not the executives were interested in making it.
This is going to help Sun and Moon. Pokemon has been popular for the past two decades, it's as if investors forgot and just suddenly realized that it is still popular.
A lot of those good games seem to be exceptions to the rule. So many scams and dissapointments come out of Kickstarter, so many people like me don't fund them.
I'd take an excellent platformer with rpg elements like Super Paper Mario again. The lucky cat and fan in the trailer are very similar to the mandatory boss fight stickers from sticker star. If the game doesn't have those wiggler fetch quests it will be an improvement.
I don't know... It doesn't look exactly like Sticker Star (which wasn't terrible, just not very good), but I didn't see enough of the battling to know if the cards are like stickers or if there is a leveling system. The graphics are great though. The main problem with Sticker Star was that stickers were very annoying to manage and battles were pointless. That and the bosses were op and the puzzles were either annoying or impossible. If this fixes those problems, it will be good.
Their plans have improved since the announcement of the Zelda stuff. I like Zelda, but not enough for all of E3. I don't have that high of expectations, yet the more they unveil the more excited I get.
No direct means no E3. This would be fine for the second or third day, but if this is the only thing that they are doing, Nintendo will have some of the worst E3s in company history back-to-back.
When it comes to merchandise and marketing, of course. But the more they use them, the more value they can lose. They are very popular and valuable, and they should be careful with how they use them and who they allow to use them.
Not surprising. I knew 2017 would be the NX release date, but it sounds like E3 will be worse than last years (which is almost impossible). This gen started in 2011/12 and will end in 2017. That is the usual Nintendo console cycle length.
Is it a good gimmick or a bad one? People call the Wii U and 3DS a little gimmicky, but I think that they are great. As for Luigi's Mansion 3, I think it's plausible, but so is any series sequel that could make money. E3 can't come soon enough.
I think they are sequels, not remakes. Porting these games that people already bought won't lead to high sales. Plus, every Nintendo console since the Gameboy Color has had backwards compatibility, why wouldn't this?

This keeps looking better and better. I'm going to get it.

Don't milk the franchise! I don't mind sequels as long as they are good, but still... Don't milk it!

It's always fun to look back on weird old promotional artwork, especially for video games.
Re: Talking Point: Unique and Affordable - Nintendo's NX Needs to Avoid Direct Competition With PlayStation and Xbox
@Mario_Fart
It doesn't need amazing graphics, just modern processing power and an actual hard drive.
Re: Talking Point: Unique and Affordable - Nintendo's NX Needs to Avoid Direct Competition With PlayStation and Xbox
It needs to be able to compete though, so it needs to be equal or more powerful than those other consoles not only for 3rd party publishers but also because there isn't an excuse for it not to be.
Re: Nintendo Appears at Apple Conference to Announce Super Mario Run
Not F2P? Lame. It looks better than most mobile running games.

Everything but the time swap looks great. I mean, I know it's SUN and MOON but... That's weird.

That's a great combo, so I'm optimistic.

Looks great, with a good assortment of sports.

Re: Major League Baseball Owners Look Set To Approve Seattle Mariners Sale
It's a shame they stopped sponsoring them. They need to sponsor an F1/Nascar.
Re: Video: Daring Toads Come To The Rescue In Paper Mario: Color Splash
I like what I've seen so far. Hopefully it will be good.

Re: Niantic CEO Talks Sponsorship Deals with Pokémon GO
I see no problem with it. More sponsorships means more pokestops.

This might actually give me a reason to get Mario Party 10. And maybe even LCU.
Re: Poll: The Nintendo NX - Where Do You Stand on the Future of Nintendo?
I'm really unsure about whether or not I like it. I know I won't buy it until it has a library big enough to justify the purchase.
Re: SurveyMonkey Intelligence Says Pokémon GO is Now The Biggest Mobile Game in US History
Very fun. I hope we get more pokemon soon.
Re: Nintendo Starts New Video Series for Dragon Quest VII: Fragments of the Forgotten Past
It looks great! Definitely getting it.

Re: E3 2016: Nintendo Reveals Ever Oasis for the 3DS
Looks a bit like Zelda with some Final Fantasy elements. Very interesting, so I think I will get it.
Re: Editorial: With Lowered Expectations E3 Can Still Be Full of Nintendo Magic
Their plans have improved since the announcement of the Zelda stuff. I like Zelda, but not enough for all of E3. I don't have that high of expectations, yet the more they unveil the more excited I get.

Micro Handheld? Maybe it's the NX mobile controller.

Re: Nintendo Plans Corporate Changes That Point to Diverse Business Moves
This sounds like the unorganized and unsuccessful Nintendo of the 1960s. Just keep gaming as your main priority Nintendo.
Re: Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney - Spirit of Justice to Arrive on the 3DS eShop in September
I've never tried this series before. The lack of gameplay always seemed unappealing, but maybe I will get this if I get that collection on the E-Shop.
Re: Disney Infinity Has Been Cancelled
I was never interested in Disney Infinity, but this just shows how far the toys to life business has shrunk.
Re: Poll: Nintendo Has Laid Out Its Legend of Zelda E3 Plans - Are They Enough?
No direct means no E3. This would be fine for the second or third day, but if this is the only thing that they are doing, Nintendo will have some of the worst E3s in company history back-to-back.
Re: Nintendo Confirms Its E3 Plans for The Legend of Zelda
That's it so far? For the second or third day this is fine, but no Direct = No E3
Re: Editorial: Nintendo Should Shamelessly Exploit Its IPs to the Full
And if Nintendo don't have any plans with an IP (F-Zero) then they should allow other 3rd party studios to try and make a worthy sequel.
Re: Editorial: Nintendo Should Shamelessly Exploit Its IPs to the Full
When it comes to merchandise and marketing, of course. But the more they use them, the more value they can lose. They are very popular and valuable, and they should be careful with how they use them and who they allow to use them.
Re: My Nintendo's Rewards Have Been Updated for May
Club Nintendo was WAY better. Even with those surveys.
Re: My Nintendo's Rewards Have Been Updated for May
I own all of these games. And even if I didn't, these discounts are way too small.

This is what I wanted to hear.
Re: Xenoblade Chronicles Looks Set For The North American Wii U Virtual Console
Sweet! What's the download size?
Re: Reaction: Nintendo Shakes Up E3 With No NX and a Focus on Legend of Zelda
This is a ridiculous idea that will hurt fans and the NX. After last years E3, they need a good showing.

Then why are you on a Nintendo site?

Miitomo is sooooo boring. My Nintendo is nice, but I just uninstalled Miitomo.
Re: Rumour: Linkedin Profile Hints At Unannounced Racing Title From Excitebots Studio Monster Games
I bet this and Luigi's Mansion are both coming to NX.

Re: Video: Learn About Hero World, the MMO That Could Have Changed Guitar and DJ Hero Forever
Overly ambitious, but considering how bad the franchise has fallen, this wouldn't have been a bad idea.
