What is nice about the rumors is they're all pointing in a great direction. I'm a big fan of wanting a hybrid and consolidating the library. Rumors of a power bump in line with with Nintendo's typical design philosophy add up too. Then there's the hype from anyone who's ever seen it. Ubisoft can't stop glowing about it, but nearly everyone who's been close to someone hands on comes with remarks like "wish we'd thought of it."
I want to see the thing, like now, but at least it sounds like it's shaping up behind the scenes.
@Mario_Fart The New 3ds is a freaking joy. The library is now one of the best ever and the backward compatibility with DS is some major icing. I don't think you can go wrong picking one up whenever. Although- E3 is barely over a month away now!
@Mario_Fart You don't need to, I picked up a ps4 at launch and the releases have been slower than the Wii U. I found myself just not gravitating towards the trickle of games that are there. It's a mainstream box for COD and fallout, and has a ton of remasters. It's been collecting dust for months while I have spent a ton of time on the U.
@Yorumi really? Starting gear for me was a 200ish drive and now I can top spin to 300 on a lot of shots. Which gives the ability to Eagle a lot of holes. Plus my control is so high I can chip in all the time, although that could be just practice. Still the Club tourneys are all played with Mii golfers... And I like my pimped out avatar with all the swag.
Omg! No! Tension and suspense are one thing - survival horror would be different, like a thriller movie versus a horror movie. The Game, Jack Reached, Bourne Identity, Taken, The hunted, a good action thriller. Metroid is not like SAW or a Massacre movie.
As a game the most logical step is to give it some multiplayer. Regardless if it's third or first person it needs to step away from the isolated main experience and have a mp component.
well maybe. Most people tend to play different games on their phone as opposed to traditional handhelds. I play plenty of iOS games, but I've stopped downloading anything that tries to be a real game and use my phone for poker, scrabble, and other games that don't require any real input. I think adding a randomly supported controller shell isn't going to do much for the audience. The real gamers are still elsewhere. Nintendo could learn a lot from Apple in terms of marketing and distribution, but Apple in turn could learn a thing or two about developing a real games community.
A lot of the games that would use this are straight up knock offs of Nintendo games or "old" classics like GTA III.
Don't think it's the game changer, actually the vibe it's giving me right now is... "quick, buy stock in Nintendo!"

Horror. No thanks...
