Re: Nintendo Shuts Down Browser-Based '3D' Legend of Zelda Demo

Socar

I don't get why people are interested in doing these things knowing they will get caught. Its Intellectual Property and this isn't just Nintendo who's likely to shut down fan projects as there's Konami and many others.

Be happy that Nintendo as of now has never requested a cease and desist for fan translations atleast.

Re: Soapbox: No, Star Fox Zero's Controls Are not Bad or Broken

Socar

So.....you guys said the same thing for Kid Icarus Uprising and yet you praise the hell out of the game.....but yet now you say that at first Star Fox Zero's controls were bad and now you claim that its good?

Now while its too late for me to get the Wii U and that I'm not getting it, it seems to be the only game that makes use of the gamepad....why couldn't this game come out at the same time as Uprising to help boost sales?

Re: Editorial: Miitomo is Surprisingly Strange and Compelling

Socar

Firstly, I can't understand how the hell people complain that Miitomo drains the battery power a lot. If you're going to use an app especially a game app for a long time, of course its gonna drain a lot of power. This ain't an ordinary phone. Its a smartphone which uses and requires more power.

My Samsung Galaxy S4 Mini can't even last one day if I play games on it. The same applies for the Vita and the 3DS. Can't expect 10-13 hours battery life on handhelds unless they use less power consumption and to do that, the technology needs to be weaker.

As for Miitomo, I love to get it but since I'm from Asia and that its region locked, I can't get it...which is sad to me....does Nintendo care about us guys from around Asia?

Re: Street Fighter Producer Yoshinori Ono Would Love To See Nintendo Vs. Capcom

Socar

Yeah......and I bet that when Nintendo refuses to put on disc dlc payment, that's when the project will get cancelled.

Anyways, isn't Street Fighter currently at crisis right now. If Street Fighter V doesn't sell 2 million by the end of Capcom's fiscal year, that's the end of Street Fighter....

And why not, that's what happened to Darkstalkers right? And Pheonix Right? I mean, I'm not a fan of the series but have those sold 2 million?

Re: Junichi Masuda Reassures Fans on New Pocket Monsters for Pokémon Sun and Moon

Socar

The thing that was underwhelming in X/Y is the lack of new pokemon added.

Hopefully, this new one doesn't make it as disappointing as that one.

Also, I know this is something I can't expect Gamefreak to do, but I would like to atleast see pretty visuals in this new one if they are gonna use 3D Graphics. The old one is just passable. I miss the pixel art times.

Re: Enhanced Digital Store With Over 2,000 Games Launching Alongside My Nintendo This Week

@Olmectron Yet their games sell huge, yet they still continue to dominate the handheld market and yet, they still make a lot of buck.

These little things don't seem to hurt Nintendo big time so why do they have to get into the times? The Vita does a lot of things that the 3DS can't and despite that, the 3DS outsold it.

Heck, this is even true for Game Boy. The Game Gear is powerful than the Boy and yet the Boy outsold the Gear. Being stuck in the past doesn't mean loss of sales. It just means features that people won't care much of if it isn't there. If they have to get into the times, you might as well ask them to make powerful technology as well.

Re: Enhanced Digital Store With Over 2,000 Games Launching Alongside My Nintendo This Week

@Olmectron Because the sales that the Wii U is having right now is so low that they can't afford to satisfy that niche audience.

While we're at it, let's ask ourselves this. Has Nintendo satisfied the users who owned N64, GCN and the Virtual Boy? No, and not everyone was satisfied with them. All they could do was to make games for those systems and surely enough, some were satisfied.

People have complained the lack of any exclusives for the N3DS and now when it has exclusive VC games, people are complaining about it. While some are complaining that they got the games on Wii U, others are complaining why it is an exclusive to the N3DS? But that's the whole point of exclusive stuff and that's why people buy them because of them being exclusive.

The idea of playing SNES games on the go sounds like a lot of money went through this process. Emulation isn't easy to do as much as it sounds like its easy.

And don't they repeatedly give discounts for their games? If so, why not just wait for a price drop if you don't feel like its worth full price for getting the same games again?

The concept of cross buy is ridiculous because I personally can't find anyone dumb to buy the same game on a different platform unless that version has some exclusive game content or if that version runs better.

There is no significant difference between the VC games whichever platform you decide to buy. For that reason, I don't see a need to buy it on that said platform.

And in case you aren't aware of, Nintendo did an ambassador program for the 3DS which had free games to get digitally. Why that same thing wasn't done for the Wii U? Because sales of the system were lower than that of the 3DS. It would be expensive for the Wii U to have that same program as for the 3DS.

@DarkJamD @skywake So what? if you already have the game, why demand a cross buy for it if you already own it? I just don't understand that dumb mindset. You might as well ask them to transfer the game for you instead of demanding a digital code seeing that even a simple thing like generating codes is costly.

You do realize that there is a small audience for the Wii U right and that its to satisfy 3DS owners that they did this right? Why complain when you can just be happy with what you got? I never can get my hands on SNES games until now so there's that.

Re: Enhanced Digital Store With Over 2,000 Games Launching Alongside My Nintendo This Week

@skywake There's a difference between transferring data from a cd to another cd and device and getting a digital code for a game on a different platform. What you can request is bringing your download to another platform instead of gettin a digital code to redownload the game again. While you're at it, ask them to bring your saves to the new platform that you want to play it on.

Transferring requires technical upgrades which is something that's not possible to do currently because they need to make their networks powerful which requires more data which is something that's too late to do.

The whole Nintendo getting behind times is laughable honestly. Intoday's days where microtransactions are now on AAA games and games not delivering quality, Nintendo omits those and ends up doing fine.

Re: The Guy Who Designed Sonic The Hedgehog Supervised On Mario & Sonic At The Rio Olympics

@NintendoFan64 Yet SEGA doesn't take Sonic seriously when making Sonic games.......

Do you realize that the 3DS doesn't have that many platform games out there? If SEGA atleast had the sense to make one solid platform game for that system, I'd be happy. But they haven't done so and I'm sad.

I love Sonic, but honestly, if SEGA is gonna take him as a joke, then there's no point bringing him back.

Re: Enhanced Digital Store With Over 2,000 Games Launching Alongside My Nintendo This Week

@skywake And its because the versions are technically different.

Super Metroid works different on N3DS than how it works on Wii and Wii U. And really, if you chose it for the system you decided to buy it on, you should stick to it regardless. Pirate's curse is on Steam but I don't feel like getting it since I already got the game on the 3DS.

Have they made a cross buy? No. But do they need cross buy? No. Because if you like the game, why play it on a different platform if you can just play it on the existing platform?

Its not that simple providing a cross buy option. Its all because of how technically different they are.

Re: Feature: Thoughts on the 3DS as It Reaches Its Fifth Anniversary

Socar

The 3DS introduced me to Fire Emblem, Metroid, Star Fox and Kid Icarus...oh and Animal Crossing! How's that for a start?

Memorable games to me...let's see

Super Mario 3D Land
Legend of Zelda : Ocarina of Time
Mario and Luigi: Dream Team
Fire Emblem: Awakening
Fire Emblem Fates
Kirby Triple Deluxe
Star Fox 64 3D
Kid Icarus: Uprising

That's for retailers but majority of the games are solid experiences but these are the most memorable.

But the eshop is the best in the 3DS.....can't wait to get Super Metroid, Eathbound, DKC and many more SNES games!

It might not be as amazing as GBA but it is definitely as memorable as GBA!
