Re: Ubisoft Executive Talks Up Super Smash Bros. as a Wii U System Seller

Phle

I personally haven't played Super Smash Brothers before, this upcoming release will be my first one. All the talk of how great it is kind of create big expectations. Nintendo has to nail it. There is so many players that will judge all Nintendo games on Wii U by playing Mario Kart 8 and Super Smash Brothers U. They delivered well with Mario Kart 8, let's just hope they do the same with Super Smash Brothers U (and 3DS).

Re: Talking Point: A History of the Sexualisation of Samus

Phle

She looks fine. The only thing that is annoying me is the fact that some think she isn't wearing makeup. There is nothing wrong with her wearing makeup, or the amount of makeup, but guys need to realise girls aren't born with eyeliner and lipstick...

Re: Watch Dogs Will be the Only "Mature" Ubisoft Game on Wii U in Upcoming Lineup

Phle

Well, I didn't buy Assassin's Creed 3 or 4 cos I haven't played the first ones. I didn't Buy Mass Effect 3 because I haven't played the first ones. I'm still trying to find a copy of Splinter Cell Blacklist, I don't have space to download the game and I haven't found a place to buy it. It's on high priority. I'm also planning to get Watch_Dogs. I bought ZombiU. I think you need to ask the owners/gamers why they didn't buy Assassin's Creed before you jump to conclusions. What I won't be buying is Just Dance and that platformer I never remember the name of because I hate platformers! Yes, that's right, I also hate Mario platformers and I will never buy that either. Not all Wii U owners are the same.

Re: Only 3DS Games Sold Over One Million Copies in Japan in 2013

Phle

Considering I'm getting both Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire, Smash Brothers for both 3DS and Wii U, Monster Hunter 4 Ultimate, amiibo figurines and I already pre-ordered Hyrule Warriors Limited Edition, they might get a boost in sales in western contries, if more people are planning to go down a similar path. Pokémon is big, cos it rules. It deserves the spot. I know others that are getting Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire too

Re: Mario Kart 8 Still Competing in Nordic Region Charts, Tomodachi Life Never Has

Phle

Well, I can tell you why it doesn't sell in Norway. I personally own the game, downloaded from the eShop. Yeah that's right: Stores doesn't sell it here, why does anyone think poeople will buy it when they can't? If you buy the game online, you might be able to get a physical copy, otherwise forget it. Maybe in a few months, Kid Icarus never was in stores for the launch, but like 5 months later it turned up in high quantity for some reason. Norway tend to skip everything not Mario or Pokémon when it comes to Nintendo games. Pikmin 3? What is that? is what they will ask you in a Norwegian game store.

Re: The Hyrule Warriors Artbook Catches The Eye With 'Female Link'

Phle

Well, i wouldn't mind a female Link. Link is a different person in almost every game, I can't see why Link couldn't be female. That said, I don't think her name should be changed. Link doesn't sound like a male-only name. And they better not be doing multiple Links at once. The way I see it, it can only be one Link, one Hero of Time, until that Link/Hero dies.

Re: Ace Attorney Trilogy Will Boast Visual and Dialogue Tweaks, $29.99 Price Tag

Phle

I still don't understand why this is an eShop only release. Really, I would buy a physical copy day one. But I'm not sure a digital version is worth it.

I already own the original DS games. And they have left out Ace Attorney: Apollo Justice? Isn't that the game that counts as number four in the storyline? The game linking the trilogy and Dual Destenies for the 3DS?

I may get this, but it will really depend on what other games I end up getting & the chances that I'll buy it increase if it's on sale sometime. I can't lend this to my sister, and that will be the main reason for me to get this in the first place (and as it's impossible to gift eShop games that's not an option either). The second reason would be "just because I want it in my collection" but that reason kind of falls apart because there won't be a physical release...

Re: Feature: What Can We Expect From Pokémon Omega Ruby & Alpha Sapphire?

Phle

Secret bases and contests. I never had a GBA, and Pokémon Diamond was my first try at the games, but I've always watched the anime. Hoenn was the time the anime was at it's best. I love the episode Jessie catches seviper. And when her wonderful "silcoon" evolves. If only the anime could be that awesome again. Can't wait for this game.

Re: Club Nintendo Rewards Updated for May, Physical Items Return

Phle

What would you choose when you can't join that %@?# club? To ?!#@ with Club Nintendo. I'm seriously starting to question Nintendo after the new user agreements for the 3DS, I don't need to be reminded that Norway don't get to join Club Nintendo, we just get increased prizes. Seriously, Nintendo games are like 50% more than all other games here. They need to care for their older players asap. The consoles are so child friendly that it's a struggle to have fun. They pull another cheap shot the second you find something enjoyable.

Re: Soapbox: Ignoring The Objectification Of Women In Games Won't Make the Problem Go Away

Phle

To be honest, I think Lara has gone from "ok" to awfully offensive. Anyone can be a stick with balloon boobs, it's just to stop eating and get fake boobs. Looking like the girls from Senran Kagura Burst is actually even easier, you just need the fake boobs, new clothes, more makeup and get your hair coloured. Looking like Lara does now one the other hand, is a lifestyle choice. She is thin, but still trained, flawless faced, but no makeup, her hair just looks naturally awesome. A girl looking like that won't have time in her daily schedule to play the game, she is busy maintaining her hot model flawless body. I'm a girl, and I rather want totally unrealistic women in games than unusually epic flawless ones.

Re: The Amazing Spider-Man 2 Will Be Creeping To European Wii U And 3DS Consoles This May

Phle

I got the Amazing Spider-man for Wii U and I was very disappointed. The latest movie was just plain awful and wrong, but I somehow convinced myself the game could be okay. But it just seemed to try to make Spider-man as much like Batman as possible, terrible idea. I love Spider-man, the geeky humoured guy who talks to himself all the time and try to avoid beating up innocents by sneaking past them instead of knocking them unconscious. The second he becomes the handsome, silent, fist fighting guy, it's all over.

This trailer for The Amazing Spider-man 2 doesn't seem promising. Not even one geek joke?! What's with all the darkness?! Batman lives in a dark ominous city called Gotham, but Spider-man lives in New York! Make that the normal and occasionally sunny New York, not the dark version of New York. Seems like the good part of Spider-man has died.

Re: Video: What Could Super Mario Galaxy Look Like In HD?

Phle

It might sound weird, but I don't think The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword needs an HD remake. It looks great, I played it for the first time on my Wii U and I was amazed. I never thought that the graphics where lacking in any way. I would rather like to see a Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess HD remake. I loved Twilight Princess and I think the game could benefit a lot from HD graphics.

Re: Nintendo Switching Off Wi-Fi Connection Service On Wii And DS

Phle

This is kind of sad. It's going to kill off all the online features in the DS Pokémon games. No more GTS for Pokémon Diamond... I have a large DS game library, got to find out if it's anything I need to get done online while I still can.

They could have waited another year before the switch off I think. I understand it can't be around forever, and it might be good for the 3DS and the Wii U.

Re: Investor Wants Nintendo To Create Mobile Titles With Game-Altering In-App Purchases

Phle

I just don't get why people think Nintendo should move on to smartphones... Really, it's just a dumb idea. They should rather think through their next handheld console release. Get better internet and web browser, maybe 4G. They need to reach tablet buyers. If they could make people consider their handheld as an option for a tablet, it would be a win for Nintendo.

Re: Nintendo UK Launches a New "Nintendo Girls Club" YouTube Channel

Phle

I actually don't think it's stupid. I'm so tried of all the girl hate, it's been driving me mad (quite literally). This might be just the thing for me. Only comment I've got is that the games they have shown off on their channel so far makes female gamers look like 7 year old barbie lovers. They need to show girls that they can play games even if it's not made in pink.

Re: Zero Escape Series Director Struggling to Find Funding for Third Title

Phle

I loved Virtue's Last Reward, I haven't played 999: Nine Hours, Nine Persons, Nine Doors yet though (was impossible to get where I live when it was out on DS). It's sad they never fixed the save bug, I've tried to talk my BF into trying Virtue's Last Reward but he wont risk it because of the bug. I never had any problems with it though, but I was super careful when & where I saved. They should really have fixed the save bug, I don't think they realised how damaging it might have been to the sales. That said, I would love to try out another instalment in the series.

Re: Nintendo Ends Partnership With Austrian Distributor Stadlbauer, Confirms Plans For Regional Office

Phle

Well, I do hope that this means Nintendo has realised they are ignoring a few European countries. Nintendo of Europe is a silly name, considering it's not for Europeans, but for selected countries in Europe only. Norway, Sweden, Denmark, Finland and Iceland is left out. I don't live in Austria, but it's a good sign they care about the Austrian marked. Maybe they'll care about the entire Europe in a few years.

Re: 3DS Sales Tracking Ahead of Game Boy Advance In Japan

Phle

The 3DS is doing great I don't see why that would change any time soon. To launch the 3DS XL model was obviously a genius act, and even the 2DS seems like a good idea. I must admit I would never get a 2DS for myself, but it would probably be my first choice if I where to buy a handheld console for a 5-8 year old kid.

Re: The Nikkei Reports Potential Nintendo Smartphone Strategy, to be Announced This Week

Phle

Well, I guess I don't mind some of Nintendo's content on smartphones and tablets. As long as it isn't full new games. VC games would be okay for me, but for a price of course.

If Nintendo made a smartphone, I don't think I would buy it. I have my iPhone, and don't use it for gaming... If they made a tablet on the other hand, I might. Though it seems that the chances are slim for either of them right now.

Re: Mario And Zelda On Mobile Could Bring New Players To Nintendo Consoles, Suggest Industry Analysts

Phle

They could make short free teaser games for smartphones and tablets. And to play more you'd have to buy the game and the console from Nintendo. I'm not sure it would bring any money though. I don't like the idea of seeing Mario and Zelda together with Fruit Ninja, Angry Birds and The Sims -Free Play.

To reach a younger crowd, they should have commercials. I know they have that in other countries, but not here. Air them on TV. Our country is screaming for something other than online poker and OMG sale commercials.

Re: This Design For A "Game Boy Evolution" Sure Is Intriguing

Phle

Well, I like it, but I feel like one screen would be a setback for Nintendo. It should be able to play DS and 3DS games. 4G, big high resolution screen and works like a tablet sounds good actually. This thing looks a bit grey. It doesn't say "fun" in any way.

Re: iPhone Gaming Controller Could Mean "The End Of Nintendo", Claims Investment Site

Phle

I've got to be honest, I would love one. I already own an iPhone 5 and I really would like to play games just like that on my iPhone. But. I love my 3DS and I don't really think this will be a big threat. Nintendo's games are what makes the 3DS so awesome and iPhone doesn't have the right games to beat it, at least not yet.

I find myself really sad over how Nintendo ended the letterbox service as it was a major bonus to the 3DS, at least for me. Being able to have a dialogue with the people you play with is great. Now I've got to use my laptop or my phone to to that (or even more complicated, use the Wii U). If you use your iPhone as gaming device, you can communicate with the people you play with, without running to fetch another device. I HATE when I need too many devices. It's the only reason I decided not to get a Vita and the reason I don't really feel like getting PS4 and the reason I still don't own an iPad. I need a DVD player, maybe PS4 gets lucky just because of that. The thought of getting 2 things in 1 space-filling box is very appealing.
