Re: Rumour: New Switch 2 Rumour Makes Wild Claim About Mysterious 'C' Button

TheGoof

I doubt that, but i wouldn't doubt it if the Switch 2 does have some sort of dual screen feature.. be it with a seperate screen, or with the dock to your TV via wireless.
I've been saying this for awhile now.. i talked about it on my youtube channel before anyone.. but i never get my notoriety..
I'm for sure that the Switch 2 will have dual screen functionality.
Hell, in 2023 there was a patent that showed a switch like device sporting a connected second screen.
I've been saying this since 2023.

Re: Super Mighty Power Man Is The Mega Man Game You Always Wanted On Switch

As a pixel artist myself, i can tell when someone "rips" graphics, and NOTHING in that game looks ripped at all.
in fact none of it even looks like edits.
It all looks hand drawn and original.
I can show you what a rip looks like.
I can show you what something looks like when it's not totally original.
If you folks think this looks like ripped graphics, you're all freaking idiots and need your eyes examined.

Re: Hands On: Creating a Quest in RPG Maker Fes

TheGoof

Give it time.
I can pretty much promise that a Switch RPG Maker will get made.
The GBC had one in Japan.
The GBA had one in Japan.
The DS had a few in Japan.
And now the 3DS.
Since the Switch is a handheld and home console, i am sure it will get one.. especially if the Switch sells enough.

Re: Investors React Negatively to Nintendo Switch Launch Details

TheGoof

I think the issue might lay in the fact that the console is not priced to move for anyone but core nintendo fans, if you're a core die hard nintendo fan, you're gonna be there day one no matter what buying it.
But in the long run, folks are gonna look at the Switches price and lack of a pack in title, look at PS4 with it's $260 price tag and an inclusion of a game, and be more inclined to buy one of those.
Nintendo could have at least had a pack in game of SOME KIND, even if it was just a download from their gamestore.
In the long run, after the thing sells to all the core die hards, and the sales die down or keep going at a steady pace, will help to gauge the success of this console.
In a year or 2, if sales start suffering, Nintendo will have to make some tough choices to entice folks into buying it... either drop the price, or add a pack in game.. or maybe even both... but at launch there SHOULD have been a pack in game.
Never mind all the hoopla about what the device can do, because if a customer does not care about the gimmicks and just wants to pay for a home console, they will likely skip the Switch and go else where.
These are things to think about.
The XBO had a similar issue a few years ago because consumers did not want to pay for the Kinect, they just wanted a controller in their hands, and they did not want to pay for something they had no interest in using, and once they dropped the Kinect, what happen?
Sales picked up is what happen.
Nintendo keeps finding themselves in a similar situation, as a consumer i don't wanna pay fore the gimmicky stuff, the only gimmick i gave a darn about was the controller and tablet thing.. but Nintendo had to be Nintendo and shoehorn in stuff that a lot of developers might not bother to use, like the sensor for shapes and what not, and the HD rumble.. i think HD Rumble might be more likely to be used than the sensor for shapes and distance.
But giving consumers options does not mean bundling a bunch of stuff in and saying "use what you want".
It should be "hey we have different configurations, if you don't care about that stuff, here's something more basic that costs less if you only wanna pay for those things".
That's how you give consumers choice.
Wii U failed for a ton of reasons, but i think part of it was some folks did not care for the controller, they wanted to just use a pro controller.
My point being is that in a few years we shall see what becomes of this, and i hate to be right about the above.. but i think i.. maybe will be.

Keep in mind, i don't want Nintendo to fail.. i want them to succeed.. these are mainly just worries i have.. but i hope they are completely unfounded.

Re: Talking Point: The Pros and Cons of Nintendo's NX Secrecy

TheGoof

You can also have a situation where it can go from excitement to ANGER and people wanting to spite Nintendo for taking this damn long... the hype fades... and people just stop caring.
I know plenty who already don't care anymore, and have decided to not bother with Nintendo anymore... they're frustrated and feel that Nintendo has lost their damn minds.
I feel like it's taking too long... by next month they NEED to announce it.... if they don't... i can see crap hitting the fan.. big time.
It's only going to get worse for Nintendo the longer they make folks wait.
Oh, and if they wait reveal it next year and THEN launch it the next day, it will be sega saturn all over again.. it's not good to announce a new console or reveal it THEN right after, release it.

Re: Review: Axiom Verge (Wii U eShop)

TheGoof

One of the most awesome games i have ever played.
I really hope we see a sequel at some point.
I want to see more games like this over time.. i appreciate and welcome the pixel art direction.

Re: Sonic Mania Announced for Spring 2017, But No Nintendo Platforms Are Included

TheGoof

I'm bummed by this, but on the other hand.. i take solace in knowing that more than likely, freedom planet 2 will hit the NX later on... and it uses an engine developed by christian whitehead.. the same engine powering this game.. part 2 does i should say.. i don't think freedom planet 1 uses it.
So i am not too worried about this hitting NX.. would be nice though.

Re: Nintendo Outlines Key Goals to Ensure NX Success

TheGoof

Am i the only one who got annoyed when he said "and put a smile on families' faces"?
Because that to me sounds like Nintendo has learned nothing...
And it worries me.
If i have learned anything... it's that.. now days, you want to appeal to adult gamers, cause we grew up gaming and now we have kids who game, and WE'RE THE ONES WHO BUY THINGS!... so if you appeal to the gaming adults, you can get to the kids more easily.
And a lot of us are core gamers, and if you're not appealing to us, then you're gonna have issues.
Nintendo has not learned this.
I think Sony seems to know what they were doing with the PS4, cause everything fell into place and they have sold like... 40 million units .. i think.

Re: Nintendo Steps Up Its 3DS Marketing for Young Gamers

TheGoof

When i was a kid.. if i seen commercials like these i would think Nintendo was lame as hell!
I grew up in a good time i think...
We had in your face awesome commercials with lots of energy!
And awesome slogans like "NOW YOU'RE PLAYING WITH POWER!!" and eventually "GET N OR GET OUT!!!"
I guess i'm starting to feel like Nintendo is a lot lamer than they used to be..... i'm so frustrated with them that the Wii U could possibly be my final Nintendo console.

Re: US Retailer GameStop Hoping That Nintendo NX Can Arrest Decline In Hardware Sales

TheGoof

@Dtbahoney
Seriously?
What the HELL do you mean what?
I'm sorry but it's too soon for streaming only consoles...
If the NX is a streaming platform... it won't work out THAT well.
If Nintendo does not work things out JUST RIGHT, the NX will be a BIG damn flop like the Wii U.
People claim that the Wii sold so well cause of the gimmick... it was not the gimmick alone.. it was the price tag.
If Nintendo does not plan things and do things just right, the NX won't sell very well just like the Wii U did not sell very well.

Re: Nintendo of America Has a Snazzy New Slogan - "There's No Play Like It"

TheGoof

I'm with those of you who prefer get N or get out or now you're playing with power.
I liked the old edgy in your face stuff game companies used to do...
Nintendo's gotten too soft IMO.
I miss the first XBOX slogan.
"There's now power greater than X"
I still love sega's slogan from back in the day.
In fact it COULD work for any company now days.
PlayStation does what Nintendon't.
XBOX does what Nintendon't.
I dunno.. i just feel like this current slogan by Nintendo is too friendly...

Re: Super Mario Bros. Z Creator Launches New Patreon Page After Nintendo Takedown

TheGoof

It's times like this i don't mind saying that Nintendo should piss off.
I love them but i don't love them THAT much.
Man's gotta eat and pay bills and all he wants to do is animation with some characters he loves.
I guess depending on IF he mentions what he's working on specifically, they can't do anything.
It's similar to if i was doing tons of art work based on video games and started a patreon so i could keep making all that art and make my bills at the same time.
It's time's like this i feel Nintendo needs to learn to reach out to these folks doing these works.

Re: Random: Why You Can't Say "Smeg" on the 3DS

TheGoof

I miss Red Dwarf... I used to watch it on public access here in the US.
Also i think censoring on any platform is dumb.
If parents are worried about that stuff, maybe they should.. i dunno.. be parents?

Oh the irony of censoring this comment

Re: Jools Watsham Wants to Know if You Want a Dementium III

TheGoof

Depends on how he goes about it.. part 2 pissed me off once i went into those... sewers.. basement what ever.. with the gas that would send me into RPG type transitions with me killing monsters over and over... at that point i threw my hands up.... he needs to make something in third person more like Silent Hill...

Re: Nintendo President Tatsumi Kimishima Has Published a New Message for Shareholders and Investors

TheGoof

" In the field of home entertainment, the video game industry is one of the few industries established in Japan that spread around the world, and Nintendo has established itself as a well-known brand truly representing video game culture throughout the world."
Established in Japan?
What is he smoking?
Game consoles started in the US with the pong and the atari consoles.
Nintendo though just sort of brought gaming back after the crash...
