Re: Say Hello to the Nintendo Switch, a New Concept for Gaming

SCRAPPER392

I am not pleased. This basically confims that everone should have just bought an Xbox or PS. This is such a disgrace, that I might sell my Wii U. Doing this to Nintendo fans is literally a crime.
What a waste of freaking money.

I've been a Nintendo fan longer than probably half of the people working there, and they ruined Smash Bros. I can't even explain how stupid Nintendo looks, right now.

Re: Macronix Will Be Providing Memory Products for the NX

SCRAPPER392

I'm guessing that this will be a RTS version of Smash Bros, and the memory products will be things like items that you can send in game.
You'll be able to use amiibos, then throw items like bats, heart containers, etc, to advance your way through Master hands forces or compete against friends.
I guess I would say it will be like Project S.T.E.A.M., except Smash Bros.

Re: Minecraft on Wii U Won't Feature Inventory Management on the GamePad Screen

SCRAPPER392

@Jazzer94 - Meh. I think it will probably be the same version Xbox One and PS4 got. Minecraft isn't that demanding of a game and Wii U can do it.

The only reason why they even said it wouldn't run on 3DS, is because they weren't even trying to get it on there and it would even probably run in 3D on New 3DS, at least. So with enough effort, the games will run in full.
This game is on every platform now, which is why cross-play/buy needs to happen for this game, otherwise they're letting the whole fanbase down(everyone with a device that runs it).

Re: Minecraft on Wii U Won't Feature Inventory Management on the GamePad Screen

GamePad utilization needs to be there, IMO. I know off-TV play matters for some, but crafting and doing other stuff on the GamePad being absent is a HUGELY missed opportunity. An update is always possible, but it makes absolutely no sense why they would leave one the biggest features of Wii U out. They don't even have Smartglass or PS Vita Remote Play running on the other consoles when the feature could be there and matters for people who want that type of experience. This could be said about alot of games, actually, so I guess it's not much to expect anyway, but it still matters in the light that the GamePad is still Wii U's main controller, and there won't be anything interesting on the second screen.

Re: EA CFO Explains Why the Company Doesn't Make Wii U Games Anymore

SCRAPPER392

It's not surprising. They have every right to think that, but a lot of it still goes back to misunderstandings and misplaced doubt from the consumer. The 3rd party developers are failures in many aspects, even on Xbox One and PS4, so personal opinion actually matters more.

Have fun with yearly releases that rip you off and micro transaction cash grabs from EA, exclusively on x86 and mobile devices.

Not to mention that Xbox Live should be free, and Sony failed with PSN on PS3, which is why they require PS+, now. That's how things even out in the long run, when you look at all 3 companies.

Re: Feature: Our Top 10 Wii U Retail Games - Third Anniversary Edition

SCRAPPER392

A lot of the games I would choose aren't on the list:
Deus Ex
Monster Hunter 3 Ultimate
ZombiU
Splintercell
Tekken
Lego City
Rayman Legends

I played those way more than the 1st party games, besides Smash Bros, Mario Kart, and Mario 3D World. I'm only halfway through my second playthrough of Pikmin 3, and I haven't played it in a long time. I haven't beaten DKC: TF, yet, either, but it wouldn't be on my list, anyway.

Re: Video: See the Differences Between Star Fox Zero at E3 and Now

SCRAPPER392

I agree that it still looks mostly like a high quality PS3 game, but that says more about the studio progression, than it does the hardware. There was no way to make every game look like Uncharted 3 or Beyond Two Souls(and even those needed more texture work, IMO), besides Sony's efforts(3rd parties just ran the Xbox 360 version), and Nintendo wasn't even doing HD, yet. That's why it still matters that Nintendo is continuously improving Wii U's graphics.

I would still say the geometry and textures are a bit better than most last generation titles. Wii U will also be running the GamePad, 5.1 PCM, and running in 720p upscaled to 1080p(like Nintendo's other games), so the Wii U is running things that weren't being done on Xbox 360 and PS3.
Even Xbox One and PS4 don't have as good of sound quality, as far as I can tell.

Rambling over...

Re: Video: See the Differences Between Star Fox Zero at E3 and Now

SCRAPPER392

Nintendo is still working hard on improving Wii U's graphic engine as a whole, for sure. I'm not going to be surprised when a game comes out that looks as good as the Zelda tech demo, period. That's just how graphics improve over a generation.
Compare Gears of War 1's graphics to the progress they made to Gears of War 3, or Halo 3 to Halo 4, and that's why the 8th generation consoles were getting ports of 7th generation games.
That's why no one should be surprised when the graphics get even better in later games. These graphics are on par with games of similar graphic styles on Xbox One. Wow.

Re: Nintendo's Share Value on the Rebound Following Poor Reaction to Miitomo

SCRAPPER392

@crimsontadpoles - Ya, well they're dumba$$es. Besides, Nintendo could release some good mobile that isn't Mario or Zelda. They already have Pokemon TCG on iPad and can do other stuff like that. Miitomo actually looks like a good app for mobile, because it looks like Tomadochi Life, but they were comparing it to FaceBook like idiots.

EDIT: I agree there should be more in the app(like maybe turn based mini games like Words w/ Friends or something similar), but it is still a nice little app that people can do instead of usual texting or other messaging stuff. Let's not forget that we're comparing this to crap like Flappy Bird that was basically spam and advertisers loved it.

Re: Site News: Nintendo Life Turns 10 Today

SCRAPPER392

Actually, my old account was from 2009, and I don't know how to delete it. I forgot the password, and finally figured it out today. Microsoft changed my email address through the ISP, so I couldn't use "forgot password".

Re: Site News: Nintendo Life Turns 10 Today

SCRAPPER392

I joined the site around 2007, but my account got deleted from not using it, then I created another account when Wii U came out. This is still my favorite site for Nintendo news, honestly. I haven't been on IGN for a while, but last time I checked, it's cluttered with stuff other than gaming.

Re: Review: Konami Krazy Racers (Wii U eShop / GBA)

SCRAPPER392

I wanted this game a lot when GBA came out. I had a game poster with pictures of games coming to GBA, and it had a picture of Goemon racing. I kept the poster, because SNES like graphics on GBA was very impressive for me, at the time, and I liked to see what games were like, even if I didn't have them. Youtube wasn't around, so I liked looking at the poster. I still haven't ever played it, but I'm fine. I ended up getting MK Super Circuit when I got my GBA, instead.

Re: Feature: How Mario Kart Brought Two Soul Mates Together

SCRAPPER392

I fell in love with Kamek on MK DS. They were the best in the world on WiFi Connection.com for a while and had a rasta marijuana leaf as the painting on their kart. I never met them in person, but I loved them. We met once again, but they quit, because I learned how to snake.

EDIT; This is 100% a true story.
