Im waiting for the Wonderful 101 and Deus Ex and money XD. Besides Bayonetta 2, and pikmin 3 and they're jrpgs in the pipleine they have to show people they dont just have mario and zelda.
The main problem with phone games is the interface and the fact that its on a phone which is under constant distraction, whether its battery life or something else. Its good for a few second destresser but thats it.
Since when was E3 for the general public? They dont even stream the poop on Television anymore. G4 is dead. Nintendo has their own campaign they are gearing up for in summer. Nintendo isnt loosing money either. They had an operating loss but they made 71 million in profits. What are you smoking AbeVigoda?
@Kagamine Online infrastructure is basically the e-shop and how seamless and fluid it is to interact with. The online component works completely fine. If you want to talk about the Operating System then talk about the operating system. Still doesnt change the fact half the things you stated are absolute crap.
"Honestly, I think this is good news, and here's why:
Nintendo is going to focus on games throughout the timeframe, and doesn't have to limit itself to a one-hour presentation on a stage, where two other presentations from their competitors will be showing off two brand new consoles. Nintendo gets multiple chances to show everything they're going to be doing right; the major games will be available to play at the show, and there will be a discussion specifically with investors to encourage them. They also get to have one or more Nintendo Directs aimed specifically at us, the American audience. Iwata also didn't clearly say they weren't going to have some sort of stage-show. He just said it's going to be non-traditional and spread out. I'm sure there will be dozens of trailers popping up all over the Internet. We don't have to worry about the Usher, lame dance games, cheesy family playing games, playing with books, thirty minutes of fitness, lame motion games, and shaking wands that all three of Big Three are guilty of."
@Kagamine Dude do you even know how half the doodoo in your games and the hardware functions? How the online networks work, and what the developers program? Poopies, man. BTW the PS3 and the Xbox's browser suck. Miiverse rocks and they have a great internet browser that's smooth and runs HTML5. Considering Im a bit of a soccer junkie I use the TVii function way too damn much as well. Your statements are all wrong anyway. The infrastructure isnt behind anywhere. Fix your information channels because you're suspect to dire misinformation.
@Marks When I first played it I wasnt exactly paying attention and wasnt particularly enjoying it, then I did it again in the char and I really liked it
@Sun Power never helped get Nintendo support(Gamecube has about 30 worthwhile games on it tops.), power isnt also going to make them profit. The Wii U isnt very difficult to develop for. According to Ubisoft and all the indie developers.
3DS is selling more than the DS in the same span of time the only difference is Nintendo isnt making a profit on it.
Nintendo is always working. Always, after the Wii U they are going to surprise us even more with their inter connectivity. But the Wii U itself is going to shine for a long period of time. I hope it meets their goals so Iwata doesnt have to consider stepping down.
Despite the load of RAM the PS4 has, I doubt its architecture will be able to make full use of all its parts working in tandem, especially if half of the RAM is constantly being used by the console itself.
Lets not forget how much money this thing is going to cost. 475$ is my guess.
Im more concerned about processing power than graphics, game developers arent innovating and finding new ways to immerse and evoke emotion from the players, have you seen the AI in these games? THEY SUCK, take a look at Skyrim Vs Arkham City. Which one has the better AI? Batman.
@Peach64 They just said its a "publisher" decision now so keep backpedalling
@SpaceApe Darksiders is great on the Wii U So is Batman. Everything you just said is completely incorrect. Yes ports, but thats not all is there. Now shut up and actually play the system before you start talking about quality games. back to Trine2
@Gifted Gimp Everything you stated is down pat. All this cloud bullcrap sheesh/ Honestly the New Xbox looks to be more of a multi-media machine with Kinect, basically a PC for your living room(which you can already hook up to your TV so all it is a microsoft branded product that comes with all their forced upon consumer spiel that only benefits well microsoft)
Need I remind you how many games Sony has that are the same?
After Steambox all MIcrosoft will have is the dudebro and the faux-paus fakegamergirl markets.With innocent straddlers roped into their media multiplex device
People buy Nintendo for a unique experience that only their charm and skill can offer.
I still cant figure out why they stuck a touchpad on the controller. It also has motion controls and a bloody eye.
Space ape Mario's be around for a long time. the games are all pretty much different, they share the same name and the general format but doing the NSMB2 and NSMBU was a bad idea but they arent bad games. Sure its over prevalent( Its their Brand after all) but nintendo has a lot more going for it
Its not selling great by nintendo standards.They system has sold 23 million units worldwide. Its doing better than the DS in the same space of time but Nintendo hasnt been profiting from it.
Like Sony hasnt been profiting from any of their tech in the last 7 years. But they can afford to do that because they're a multi-faceted conglomerate and are seemingly stupid. Nintendo however is a gaming company primarily and despite their massive amounts of money in the bank they have to stay profitable for shareholders. So they can invest in innovating the industry.
Project Cars looks serious Peach. The visual clarity on HD TVs is pretty apparent. It doesnt seem like it can improve until we have new tech in 5 years. Even with the 4k resolutions. It would have to be the next wave
I care more for processing power and what it means for the differences in the types of games we'll be able to play
In all Honesty PS4 Vs Wii U isnt like PS3 vs Wii. The Xbox has a different build they apparently went with a DDR3 ram because the system multitask and runs multiple apps. Its becoming more of a media interface for you're living room rather than a gaming machine
Graphics dont really matter when its all in HD anyway, just keep the visual framerate and the lighting effects and colors their fidelity, utilize good art style, and things will work out. Just make sure the interaction is fluid.
You can improve enemy AI without upping difficulty. Make the enemies smarter dont buff the hell out off them .
Apparently that guy who got raided for selling an Xbox Durango Dev Kit was true. So apparently the NextBox is going to be always online and have a mandatory kinect ( which microsoft filed a patent for that will allow them to dictate how many people can view one of their products by spying on them with the Kinect )
Gah this social crap, paying for online, and cloud gaming is a bunch of bullpoopy. Get back to the issue at hand, Games. Not freaking quick time event CGI films
So when wlll we finally get back to gaming consoles making new ways to play games that are fun and immerse the player? And why havent they made any advancements in enemy AI?
Its funny how the comments are so different here than on Siliconera, you guys report the same news and yet the portrayal and the responses are different I find it funny. Also shows just how much people understand English and meaning, so many things being communicated XD
What Sakurai is referring to is the disconnection between story and game play and how that effects the player being immersed into the game. One game that comes to mind is Xenogears, lets forget the cutscenes for a moment and just focus on how the story feels separate from the gameplay, and its constantly juggling between the two besides sticking 45 minute long cutscnes every so often
@AbeVigoda Apparently they outsourced the game to a team called TimeGates after the 2011 demos, they scrapped all their assets and replaced them with a crappier version, Sega was pretty mad at this point threatening legal action then Gearbox had to redo the game entire game in like 5 months and release a horrible game. The Wii U version is being handled by the people who did Mass Effect PC version ( DemiUrge) So the game might be completely different.
@Peach64 Alright you make valid points but you still have to realize that this really does hurt them. I mean they are bringing Watch Dogs to the Wii U apparently but this deal puts them at odds with their developers their consumers and in the end its going to bite them in the behind even if Legends does better than Origins did. Theres also no getting around the fact that the Wii and PS3 versions had a bigger community
@Peach64 Its funny to see you keep talking like you think your right when you havent completely thought it through. And by funny I mean short sighted and sad I see these peoples arguments about not being able to release the game until 7 months but the reality is a lot of people wanted the game, they all played demos. In September when alot of games are being released even if they are different genres sales will still be hurt, they are also screwing over the development teams and people probably wont buy the game because of that. The fact of the matter is the install base for the series is higher on the Wii and the PS3. Sure there are a poop ton of Xbox 360s but its not going to help sales. Its been a highly anticipated title on a system with an install base 3 million strong. People who would have bought a Wii U for Rayman legends are now playing the game on PS3s
There are also people like me who will probably buy a Wii U sometime between now and summer and would definitely get the game if he had a Wii U and there are also people like AlphaOmegaSin who would buy the game in February
The Microsoft policy isnt an iron clad rule, they can just refuse the game if they come to them after the Wii U version is released.
Releasing it on the Wii U earlier would also make Rayman more popular and all this does is hurt the series future viability in the eyes of the consumer.
@Bankai No he didnt specifically mention it but downloadable titles dont do well in the Xbox market so if its going to multiplatform of course it will end up on the Wii U

Re: Nintendo - "Innovation is Important" for the 2D Mario Series
Its a platformer not a rpg.
Stop trying to merge the genres and just make a different type of game that retains what makes mario fun
