Re: Talking Point: Nintendo And The Third-Party Challenge

Gamecube had bad 3rd party support because of the button lay-out, and the way it was set up. Though I think that, in this recession. For both microsoft and sony it's not a bad decission to keep this consolegen for a while longer. They won't miss out on 3rd party support, and they won't be blasted away because of WiiU being a powerhouse. If you want 3rd party games. Get yourself a 360. I'm getting a WiiU because of the eShop. I've got high hopes for that one

What @AlexSays said. Though I'm glad I'm getting the ZombiU bundle, it's a great way to start of with WiiU. Mutiplayer looks awesome btw.

Re: Analyst Believes Nintendo Shouldn’t Compete With Sony And Microsoft

I just hope eShop will flourish on WiiU. I like my gaming in bitesizes apart from Nintendo's own IP's. The gamepad can do things no other console can. And by the time OUYA gets here, we may see some ports from there, knowing there's a touchpad on that wacko as well. If I really wanted 3rd party games, I would have bought a PS3 a long time ago.

EDIT:

It's all about image by the way. When people think of nintendo they think of kiddies. When they think of PS360, they think adrenaline and epicness. You can't have both worlds, Either a casual or a hardcore image. Nintendo thinks it can be bipolar. It can't.

Re: Miiverse To Be Detailed In An Upcoming Nintendo Direct

I know it's completely off-topic but @Alienfish is kind of right. That game was the moment it turned into marioparty on wheels. Super Circuit is my favorite, as it's still a racing game. I HATE THAT BLUE SHELL!!

On topic:
I just hope they aren't hyping for something they can't fulfill. I'm gonna get myself a WiiU for eshop, VC and some games, but I still think the system is gonna lose the race. They're just too conservative.

Ride that innovation stream Nintendo!

I feel like a kid already when I'm playing my 3DS while getting to my university, This will only make it worse. I really hope Nintendo will try to reach their more mature audience with special editions once in a while..

Re: Nintendo Confirms Wii U Will Be Sold At A Loss

I think we can stop bashing @Skywardink98 now.. It's his opinion.
I think buying a console in this late lifespan isn't that bad of an idea.

Look at the backlog of games one can play for practicly nothing.
I'm not really attracted to Sony's marketing or their products as a whole. but seeing you can buy a PS3 for that price, I can understand his standing point.

Not that I agree with him. Can't wait for the 30th to pick up my ZombiU pack

Re: Talking Point: Games That Need Wii U - Dishonored

I agree with @Haywired that developers should watch out with what they're doing with the gamepad, I don't want to be forced to do things that are plain easy with buttons. Demolishing great games by adding Fruit Ninja?! BAD!!
This is an FPS, so the moment your thmbs leave the conrol sticks you can either not move or not change de camera direction.
But why do you think that gamepad can only be on your lap? You can't move your arms up?
Checking your gamepad can be as easy as checking your DS screen..
