Re: Talking Point: Raw Power Isn't Vital to Nintendo's NX, But It Does Matter

@Kirk it also gave people headaches :0) and all it will take to hurt VR is someone having Ann epileptic fit a week after Morpheus comes out that has nothing to do with it but the daily mail jumps on it and it could hurt it - much like the VB failed in the U.S. - partly through the press...touch screen on the da that pretty much came before tablets was a great update to playing - motion controls certainly shifted lots of machines and became a bandwagon the others jumped on but have sort of died and the gamepad idea was made before tablets took over so it's hurt but agree they completely failed to utilise it well - zombie u used it well .... That's about it :0) ... I just think there is very little further we can go on graphics ... And without a 80 inch 4k screen you wouldn't even notice the difference ... We've run out of ideas and most things in all media are rehashes remakes sequels and the like so if something doesn't shake it up soon I think it's doomed anyway ... I still claim
VR shakes it up like motion controls at best and so something has to happen... And I don't know what that is not should I - I just hope Nintendo do!

@Kirk I know the VB isn't proper VR but it's still a cool little device and arguably was ahead of its time on some levels - I love playing Tetris 3D on it - but it's a pain with the headset...and if Morpheus and oculus can get a lightweight wireless machine that doesn't cost the earth then I'm more accepting that it will take off better but I still think it's not the future. 3D with glasses isn't a fad as its been round again and again and again ... 50s 3d anaglypgh , disneyworld having modern day type non anaglypgh movies in the 80s - a bit of resurgence in the nineties and now in a format that you can have at home - TVs come with it as standard surely and wipeout in 3D is very nice ... ive always like 3D though - I've been a 3D all the way up since the launch of the 3DS - I reckon my eyes hair work better with it :0) . Polish was what you implied - that's the problem with bandying around terms I guess (both guilty). For me a game should be fun to play or draw me into a story...Nintendo games always have little touches and hidden moments that lack elsewhere - I don't play uncharted so I can't comment ... And I find I play less and less 3rd party because they all have merged into the same thing... I want platformers , I want 2d fighters but street fighter 5 just doesn't excite me ... I want turn based RPGs that have an amazing story above anything else and a good battle system.... I guess I want the past - and that's my fault perhaps for not evolving but I don't see why I can't still have that ?! I'm excited for Uka-laylee as its the rare sequel I never got , and it gives me hope that a resurgence of 3d platformers might come from it.... I guess too many IPs exist now that I never really played and so don't bother with the sequel and so I stay with Nintendo out of loyalty and because they are the sequels I want to play....I just watched and commented on the starfox video posted recently in this site and I really can't see why people are bashing it .... More people bought a ps4 than an Xbone and a lot of that was all the DrM rubbish and Sony played it well - neither system
Had any games and don't really now that aren't shared IPs or remakes / sequels form th least gen (Nintendo also is this I know) so I'm not bothered about them... I also just don't play consoles as much anymore - my 3DS is always with me and I have played that machine more than even the SNES when I was a kid because it suits my lifestyle .,,, I still think Nintendo only has its old fans and isn't going to get new ones .... But then if the NX turned out to be super VR ... Maybe people will buy it? I always believe in Nintendo because they gave us so much and no reason why they can't again- we've lost third party forever I reckon so we hair have to see... I still don't agree with you on production values and still don't fully appreciate what you are trying to say... But NX cannot compete - Microsoft can barely compete with Sony and I think Nintendo know this and I'm hoping they change the way we play again in a good way ... What that is I don't know - but I do know that having assassins creed and gta on my NX would not in anyway bother to me .... Or a lot of people...

Re: Feature: Taking to the Skies for a Final Look at the Star Fox Zero E3 Build

STAGGLY

I'm starting to think I've gone mad. Watching the video above is the most I've seen of Starfox Zero and all I've heard is how crap it looks and evil motion controls. This guy barely used motion controls from what I saw or the gamepad and compared to the coreneria used to this celery was indirectly better than any coreneria we've seen before - so what is the problem?!? Please enlighten me - this looks like a modern day starfox that will have a an good chance of reliving the old glory days of the 64 version does it not? People just want to hate

@Kirk VR is not gen -1 - that was the VR we had in the 90's and while I appreciate graphically it was no where near as good as it is now but it failed tondo anything - largely due to the tech at the time and cost etc but we have seen VR before and don't say it doesn't count - the Virtual Boy tried - you'll call it a fad of course but it tried and it failed - largely because of the tech but partly due to the fact it was not easy or healthy to use. I personally have no idea why anyone would want to play in VR - it's claustrophobic , it's nauseus, it's socially awkward and it is too low tech to be good enough and it's not the shift you claim it to be....I don't believe 3D is a fad nor that people make sub or movies and slap 3D on it to make them better -3D is here and now just standard like HD is... People don't like wearing things , people don't want to have to move around and people also won't spend the money in it - hardcore and some people interested will lap it up but not enough people will and therefore it will disappear ...in much the same way no one developed for strange game pad gameplay on the wii u or kinect... I don't think AR is the future either as its too limiting in terms of space etc and also has similar problems as VR ... And based on my experience of using an oculus rift it works bette when it's not actually a game and also has a moving chair with it or it's too distracting to be useful and the graphics are not good up to current gen by any stretch.... Again my opinion but that means it's a fact.
You keep mentioning starfox and although you understand it's not finished you decide to talk as though it is - this could change considerably until release - you have decided it has bad voice acting (surely slippy is supposed to sound bad?!?) , no script or good story crap music... The only thing you have seen is sub par graphics and again this is all you can comment on and again seem t think that matters . The SNES was the best console IMO but all mega drive owners would disagree - Nintendo make some of the best games ever made even now and the reason they don't break records anymore is because the world has changed to play station generation graphic obsessed FPS playing people that will never ever play a inferno game because they are deemed kiddie- the new starfox very well could come out as one of the best games ever but no one other than a ninty fan would buy it.... The world has changed and Nintendo know that and to say their games lack polish is wrong IMO - yoshi's wooly world looks amazing , has a load of lovely little touches - it's screams Nintendo , sola toon less so but its shakes ground for them but they have done well with it and created a Nintendo online shooter... The new zelda if it ever appears looked amazing at last years e3, xenoblades looks incredible... But no one will change....people don't.

@Kirk yourist of games with these oh so important graphics are all not even out yet right?! On a system that is more powerful than a wii u?! You understand that better graphics doesn't equal a better game right?! FF 6 - most immersive game ever and in mine and many other people's opinion one of the best game ever ... The current FF games don't compare and are all style and little substance as everything moves to open world is the best so let's all do it...and had fifteen hours of FMV (old school wording).

VR is a fad, you can't call 3D a fad or the new NX thing a fad and not also call VR a fad. Appreciate thy are fixing the motion sickness issues which need to or for some people it's just not playable , it only works on certain games surely? I played a racing game and it was nice that I could look left and right but then I crashed because that's what happens when not watching the road... So it's all very good for Any first person games and in my opinion the huge FP gamers are also the generation that think graphics = better game.... I want assume your age but people's opinions are ver generational - and if you are happy with your shiny graphics and enjoy your games that is all that matters but the statement that better graphics make a better game is wrong. And what are these production values ?! Starfox could be amazing - fallout 4 could suck - doubtful but we don't know - we assume fallout will be good because it looks like the last one - which is why I assume starfox will be good because it looks like the last one ... Back to VR it so antisocial I don't like it but again I'm from an era where multiplayer was all your mates round not random people over the Internet (not knocking just different) - and yes it's immersive but that's it ? It doesn't offer any new ways to play does it?! And people don't want to have to move about playing games do they- the wii taught us that.
I predict VR won't last long....it's nice tech but thats all it is.... And yeah you are arrogant because you state your opinions as fact ;0)

Re: Talking Point: Raw Power Isn't Vital to Nintendo's NX, But It Does Matter

@rishisquid I agree in principle but it's still the reality I have a problem with....people are now established Microsoft or Sony and I don't think they would buy an NX if they are not Nintendo fans already as they will want to play the next Third party on their ps4 as usual as they will get their trophies or because they've played them all on their play station... The lure of a Nintendo machine is the Nintendo first party games and I just don't think people will replace their current console with an NX unless it does something different

Re: Talking Point: Raw Power Isn't Vital to Nintendo's NX, But It Does Matter

So people think the only way a Nintendo console can survive if it can also play assassins creed and batman et al? And this is only possible with power. And you think people will buy one to play the majority of the games they can play on their ps4 and Xbone? That's not going to happen...it's too late surely? The only way to sell to the hardened Microsoft and Sony peeps is to get an exclusive - surely no one will buy an NX to play anything other than Nintendo titles as the main reason?! I just don't understand his third party thing - it's not going to change anything now...surely?!

Re: Talking Point: Raw Power Isn't Vital to Nintendo's NX, But It Does Matter

STAGGLY

Firstly power - I'd cite 3ds vs Vita.... Clearly power didn't win this battle? The PSVita is the biggest failure since the VB surely and no one seems to attack Sony for this...

Secondly - chasing fads? The wii fad was huge and sold like more than any other console right? So surely Nintendo would look to recreate? To say they haven't innovated in ten years is harsh but what have the others done? I admit I don't play on my wii u as much as I thought I would but I NEVER play on my PS3 or Xbox 360 ... And I haven't gone next gen yet because I can't see the point personally. I am a fanboy and I'll admit it but all this hate on here just isn't healthy - if you all want it to fail - chances are it will. Nintendo ain't going anywhere for a long time - their assets are huge and they could survive in them for a while ... If the NX changes the game again like the wii then it's all good - if it's just going to turn into a machine exactly like the ps4 and Xbone then I'm not interested . Exclusives barely exist anymore outside Nintendo - I want my Mario and my zelda so I'll come here - for anything else I'll get another console - this isn't a three way race anymore - Sony has won - but Nintendo can live beside them as the only place I'm getting my ninty fix... The only reasons I'd get a next gen ATM is for the rare retro collection which consists of games I played on my spectrum and my Nintendo consoles....that's just me but lets give them another chance because why not?! if you don't want an NX don't buy one - miss out on the future of Nintendo gaming - your loss

Re: Talking Point: Raw Power Isn't Vital to Nintendo's NX, But It Does Matter

But is third party support really the be all and end all? If the NX is in or with the PS4 and Xbone are people really going to get the NX to play Arkham Knight on and not a PS4? I
Last fen if a game was multi format I got it on my PS3 not my Xbox or wifi (I'm a major ninty fanboy btw) ... I don't think many more consoles will sell if it has games also on the other two.... The Nintendo console is now people's second console hat they have to play the awesome first party titles... They use their Xbone and ps4 for the rest - I can't imagine that changing anytime soon... Am I way off here?! How much will third party support sell the console really? Because that's what matters - I'll buy NX on launch I'm sure like I have every other Nintendo console...and I prove would still buy third party on my ps4 just because it's established ..

Re: GameStop Cancels European Rosalina amiibo Pre-Orders as the Scrabble for Stock Continues

Why would nintendo create artificial shortages?!? They don't get the inflated money the scalpers are charging , and based on the wave one sales when there was no knowledge of shortages they were selling well anyway...if nintendo make more they will sell more - and at a normal rrp...why only make so many and sell out instead of making more / filling preorders...I don't get all the hate...pre order or don't get it wait for possible more - the early bird gets the worm! I have all Amiibo to date and have pre ordered the next waves

Re: New Nintendo 3DS Ambassador Editions Already In The Hands Of Lucky Buyers

STAGGLY

I already have an import new3Ds and am using a friend's email to get this ambassador one ....I'm not trying to gloat bit I collect limited edition 3ds's... I have like 15. So to not got the email was a little odd as I have had every nintendo console at launch i early adopted the DS was a 3DS ambassador , have registered more games than most people I know and bought most of the first party Ninty titles (wii u aswell) on the UK njntendo store since it opened. I think that these special editions should go to people like me first if I'm honest so I'm confused as to what the criteria was. My two friends that did recieve the email also got the smash bros demo which I didnt - dos everyone that got this get that email too? Thy means it's the same criteria for both... I just feel a bit like nintendo have mistreated me and all the people putting them straight on ebay should be ashamed- they aren't real fans that would have loved the oppurtunity / deserved it...
