Re: Study Suggests Rising Smartphone Ownership Among Kids Is Hitting Nintendo Hard

Socar

@JaxonH First of all....58 million isn't a bad thing. Infact, by the end of this year, I'm confident that the 3DS will reach atleast 75 million which also isn't a bad thing.

I don't think Nintendo will give up on the handheld market because they dominate the hell out of it. I mean seriously, the fact that Fates sold million copies before half a year is itself astounding...and its not even released in UK!

Now If Nintendo wants to release their games on mobile, I have no problems there as long as they do it for experiments.....

But releasing games on mobile isn't going to help Nintendo to make those kids move over to their handhelds because why would they want to do that when the mobile games are cheaper than the handheld ones.

I personally hate mobile gaming because of the fact that they will never reach to traditional standards. I so badly want that Sonic Remastered games on PC but I know that's never gonna happen because if the mobile version's good, why port it?

NX being a hybrid is something that's asking us why on earth the Wii U couldn't do that in the first place. I don't have one but I know that if I did, I'd get great games on it.

Re: Anniversary: New Super Mario Bros. is Now a Decade Old

Socar

Yeah, back then, a 2D Mario game was something that I wanted to see and I got just that only with a new flavor!

After Super Mario Maker, I'm really curious just how Nintendo will make the next one. Probably add a Mario Maker Sequel or bring us another New game?

Re: ​Nintendo is Getting Into the Movie Business

Socar

Maybe a Kid Icarus movie might work......after all, that series is known for breaking the fourth wall often.

And the fact that Uprising has fantastic voice acting just proves that the series can work in movies.....just saying.

Re: Turns Out The Guy Behind Final Fantasy Loves Fire Emblem Too

@FierceRagnar @KO-Cub Either something is wrong with you or that you can't tell what horrible games that FE has overall. The series as a whole has never once gotten bad scores. Even Shadow Dragon wasn't that bad.

@AVahne I disagree. Conquest is loads of fun and has lots of variety. Birthright I can agree is shallower than Awakening but Conquest definitely is a fun game.

Re: Talking Point: The 3DS Faces the Challenge of Taking Nintendo Through 2016

If it weren't for the 3DS, I couldn't have gotten many classic games like Link's Awakening.

Fire Emblem is what the 3DS is known for to make FE the most valuable IP for Nintendo.

I love the DS but the 3DS also is as awesome as the GBA. Hopefully, the NX is a portable system so that I don't have to buy a console and a handheld separately.

Re: Star Fox Zero Makes a Positive Start in the UK Charts

Socar

@JaxonH Oh so you're wrapping up Conquest? Awesome! I honestly love Conquest better than Birthright even though I didn't wrap up birthright since I've recently started it.

As for Zero, I'm actually surprised that I topped the charts. Maybe people can really see it being great.

Re: Poll: NX and Mobile Make This a Defining Year for Nintendo - Are You Optimistic?

Socar

@IceClimbers You do realize that they aren't that poor to consider going third party right? I mean yeah, eventually at some point, Nintendo might no longer be around but that will take YEARS to happen.

Comparing them to SEGA personally is just plain dumb. The reason why SEGA ended up as a third party isn't because of dumb moves they did or because of their CEO's that screwed them up.

Its because they simply weren't that into making consoles because they are simply dedicated to arcade gaming and they left the console business because they want to just continue making arcade games while at the same time, develop for consoles as well.

If you look at SEGA, they are only so strong at the arcades and never were they interested in the console market. To them, its a mere experiment to get into the console market.

Nintendo on the other hand is dedicated to making "Interactive toys" that people play with them and Consoles is one of them. So saying that they are going to be third parties sounds like them giving up their dedication and passion which is simply absurd and lame.
