I don't care what you guys say, Star Fox adventures is my favorite Star Fox game. Great story and game play and was a revolution for Star Fox. Hopefully they'll build on it and make a perfect mature-ish Star Fox games that mixes elements from Adventures and 64. Almost like Star Fox, Mass Effect Style. I personally think that will be pretty cool if they took that direction.
One big factor that will be in the WiiU's favor is if the rumors for the new PS and Xbox consoles end up being true. If they end up being like PC's are with games, meaning you buy a game it comes with a code and it can for then on only be used for that account. It would negate the possibility of people buying used games, as once a game is used no one other than the original user can play it. If that happens the WiiU will be the only console with usable used games, meaning a large assortment of it's games will be cheaper, and in this economy that will prove to be a huge asset to Nintendo.
This is awesome. I'm usually not a fan of horror, but a legit survival game cannot be passed up by this Nintendo fan, lol. I'm now...royally... pumped! See what I did there? lol
Seriously, how much better can the specs get anyway while there being a noticeable difference? I still believe that the WiiU will be running the same games as the PS3 and 360 but as their minimum specs. They will have newer, more advanced, and cheaper hardware due to the fact that it's releasing a lot later than the other two did. Even if I'm wrong in that assessment, I don't really care. I play more Nintendo first party games than anything. My biggest complaint about the Wii was the lack of quality first party content.
Hm, I do like the Charging Station Pro. Does anyone know if it includes an external fan or something to cool the WiiU system? I ask because unfortunately I have a problem at my house with my Wii and an Xbox360 my roommate owns overheating. Though I'm not sure if it's because the room they're in usually stays a little warmer, or if it's just the system themselves. Either Way the Charging Station Pro looks like a cool way to keep things organized, and I do like to keep my stuff organized, lol.
@Wheels2050 Only one thing I put on there was my opinion, and that's how I feel about fps games, nothing else was an opinion. They were facts based on the majority of Xbox gamers, the company's focus, and the over all types of games that sell the most for the console.
@Wheels2050 You're right, compared to the list of exclusives that belong to Sony and Nintendo there is absolutely nothing anyone could possibly enjoy out of that list, unless you're a casual gamer. You know, there's a reason not even xbox fans know about all the xbox exclusives, because about 90% of them suck if not more. That's just me being kind. Not to mention that most of them are fps, which to me is the most unintelligent form of gaming. No serious strategy, just running around shooting and the stories always suck (yes, even Halo. Sure, it has the best story of any fps, but compared to games exclusive to Nintendo and Sony it's nothing). When people think of Xbox, they think of 3 franchises: Halo, Fable, and Gears of War... and only one of those two do most Xbox fans even say are good. Tell me, other than those three Franchises what else does Xbox have as a "long term" franchise? Xbox has 1 feature character in general, not just as a mascot. Sony is stuck between 3 for just its mascot (Ratchet and Clank, Sly Cooper, Jack and Daxter) although its other characters are easily associated on a global scale with Sony, and although Nintendo has Mario as a mascot every other exclusive character Nintendo has is also easily associated on a global scale with Nintendo. Microsoft admits and constantly proves that all they care about is online features (which makes sense because they're a computer company), and when they do focus on games it's almost certainly a fps. Heck, their buttons are even called triggers. Not hating on the Xbox, because it plays games so that's awesome, I'm just saying there's reason to associate it with casual fps gamers and not as much for hard core gamers as Sony, and hopefully Nintendo with the release of the WiiU.
@Hybrid17 Why get an Xbox? It has Halo... that's it. Sure, it's good for fps, that seems to be all it's good for, but if you want everything the xbox has (minus Halo, being the only good thing they have) and a heck of a lot more, then you might as well get a PS3 or the WiiU. The Xbox is the console for casual gamers.
@Varia01 Samus is one of my favorite Nintendo characters and Metroid is one of my favorite franchises, and I'm a guy, lol. Samus is cool. What I hope to see from her is instead of just having her suit different colors, giver her literally her other suits. I would love to see a selection that let you pick the original Varia suit, Dark Suit, Light Suit, Phazon suit, Fusion suit, etc instead of just similar color options. Hopefully that will happen with other characters too like LInk. I would love to see his blue version be his water suit from Twilight Princess instead of just a classic suit that happens to be blue. Basically what I'm saying is I hope that instead of just different colors we'll get access to different outfits for each character.
I don't care if the Gamecube sold the least amount of consoles, it was still the best console Nintendo has ever put out with the best games Nintendo had as well as having the best controller any console has seen. It also thoroughly beating down what little content Xbox had and still lacks. Luigi's Mansion was a fun game and I hope the second one is just as fun.
I'm glad they're focused on not adding too many non-Nintendo Characters. It really would ruin the feel of the game, although I hope Sonic stays. I have a list of Nintendo exclusive characters I would love to see added:
A character I would love to see is Kalas from Baten Kaitos, it was a Nintendo exclusive and one of the greatest games I've ever played. Bring that series back Nintendo!
Also, this is going out on a limb, but this character has been getting a lot of abuse lately, and I think he could really thrive in a game like SSB. This one is the only non-nintendo exclusive I would like to see. Who is this character you ask? Why, Megaman of course. I think he would be a great addition to this game as long as he's not old and fat.
A list of other Characters I would love to see added: Lloyd - Tales of Symphonia Isaac - Lost Magic Samurai Goroh - F-Zero
A character I would love to see is Kalas from Baten Kaitos, it was a Nintendo exclusive and one of the greatest games I've ever played. Bring that series back Nintendo!
Smash Brothers should stay Nintendo only with a couple of guest characters, that would be fun. And before people start recommending stupid crap like Naruto, Ichigo, or freaking Goku you need to understand this: SSB is a collaboration of Video Game Characters, not characters who's origins are not in video games. I just want a large roster, for the gameplay to go back to feeling like Melee with improvements of course in the possitive direction unlike Brawl (my main was Falco and he felt too different in Brawl fro me to use him right), and for there to be no guest characters who don't fit. Frankly, I don't believe anyone from Tekken or Soul Calibur would fit in a SSB game. That's just me though.
At this point in time I don't think the graphical power of systems can get THAT much better anyway, so if there is a difference between the power of Nintendo and the next Playstation (because regardless of what some people think, Xbox isn't as powerful as the PS3 and I predict the same will be true for the next gen) I don't think it will be all that noticeable.
I'm personally glad they made the pro controller. I'm a big fan of fighting games, and although I know I'll be using the tablet more often than not I will probably not use anything but the pro controller for stuff like SSB, Injustice: Gods Among Us, or any other good fighting games I get for this awesome console. Sure, all it is is the Tablet minus the screen, but i would prefer something smaller in my hands for a fighter, with the D-pad easily accessible. Hopefully it's a good D-pad. Not to mention that having three different types of controllers for the WiiU makes it vastly different than everyone else in that it gives multilayer at least 3 different modes of playing.
