Re: Reaction: The Nintendo 'NX', and Why We Think a Unified Platform is the Future

One thing to note is that Microsoft and Sony won't be making a new console anytime soon. If Nintendo comes up with something in the next year or two, they could easily suppass the power of the current offerings of Sony and Microsoft while having a cheaper price tag than either system currently has.

Personally, I miss the days when Nintendo was the hardware leader as far as power and technology goes.

When I saw the specs for the Xbox One and PS4, I laughed because each was basically the equivalent of a midrange PC from six years ago. Then I cried, because once again most PC games would be limited in scope due to the crap specs of the new consoles as they were for the previous generation.

Ultimately, I am happy with my WiiU right now, however if Nintendo can push out some new hardware that is more powerful than either offering from Sony or Microsoft, they are going to gain a lot of marketshare, as Sony and Microsoft aren't going to be replacing their current consoles before making back the losses they took in selling them. Nintendo could see years ahead of these two companies and enjoy stealing marketshare from them with a more powerful system by getting their hardware out years before Sony and Microsoft can.

THANK YOU!

I don't get why everyone pounds off to FF7 so much. Is it because it was the first game to go "3d" ? Is it because it was the first game to have localized swearing? Because a main character died?

FF IV basically slaughtered its whole cast. FF6 had Kefka, who actually succeeded at his goal. Sephiroth didn't do anything, his clones did.

Each FF game prior to FF V has been remade at some point, a few of them multiple times. We are overdue for a FF6 remake, as it was literally the best FF game to date.

Re: Yusuke Hashimoto Outlines His Desire to Continue the Bayonetta Franchise

I'd like a sequel to MGS: Revengence, but I'm a huge MG fan. That game was really fun though. I have it on PS3 and on PC.

Bayonetta 2 was good, though they did make it a lot easier to activate witch time in this than the original, which required more precision and had a shorter window of time to activate it. The only downside is the story of the second, which basically being a prequel without being a prequel, made the payoff not as good as the one in the first game.

I'd like to see another Wonderful 101 game as well, since it was highly underrated and got passed over by a lot of people due to it coming out near the Wii-U release when few people owned the system.

They should be putting a lot more effort into porting the Wii VC over to the WiiU VC. I'd rather play games like Secret of Mana on the tablet while I watch TV, than have to go into the Wii Console mode and use the Wii Controllers to play on the TV.

There really is no excuse for it.

Re: Xenoblade Chronicles X is so Sizeable That It Almost Needed More Than One Disc

I understand, but when you get into buying Wii U games from the Eshop, you could by two or three games and max out your 32gb. It just isn't very efficient. My brother has the 8gb Wii U and got an external 1TB hard drive hook up. Obviously, he'll never run out of space.

I still have about 17 gigs free out of my 32, and the only Wii U games I have digital copies of are Wind Waker HD and New Mario Bros U.

Well you can't blame Sony or Microsoft for HD issues and say Nintendo's won't have an issue, as they are all basically the same thing. Hard Drives. Nintendo adding extra storage space isn't going to make it less reliable. There is absolutely no reason to believe that.

That would be akin to saying X-Boxes fry themselves into red rings because of the AMD hardware, even though Nintendo and Sony both also use AMD technology.

Ultimately, there is no real reason for Nintendo to have skimped out on HD space. 8 gigs isn't enough, and honestly, I don't think my 30 gig is enough, either. I don't want to delete old stuff. I want it to always be playable. That's why I have 4TB on my PC. As I mentioned before, the cost of 8 gigs (you can't even buy an 8gig HD these days) is virtually nothing, and 30gigs is likely less than the 10 bucks I mentioned in the initial post. Hell, you could get a 32gig flash drive for less than 20 bucks these days, and they are faster than the standard HDs being used in any of the current consoles.

Though you had some terrible luck with your PS3. I have one of the first gen models, which has never given me any issues, and from what I've read, they are the best ones to own as far as reliability.

Considering how cheap HDs are these days, I am still surprised that Nintendo didn't go with larger storage options.

Even the PS4 came with the ancient 5400rpm style HD, when the standard has been 7200rpms for well over a decade. Solid state is ideal but cost is a factor.

I have the 30gig Wind Waker Deluxe edition, but still, 30 gigs is like, 10 dollars worth of HD these days.

Re: Nintendo Download: 29th January (Europe)

I own the three Wii games they are releasing. However I am tempted to download them just so I don't have to go through the extra step of going to the Wii menu on the Wii U console.

Or getting up to put the disk in. I'm lazy.

It is unlikely. You may have missed it, but in the first Xeno game when you find out the origins of the Bionis, Mechonis, and that other guy, you see they were conducting an experiment in space near Earth. The result of that experiment was...well, the universe was basically reset. Earth was no-more.

I don't see how these games can be tied together when there would have been no Earth for these people to come from in the Xenoblade Chronicles Universe.
