I disagree a lot with this article.
Nintendo needs to also make sure their console is both powerful AND has an edge.. AND has tech inside that developers will want to bother with.
One big complaint about the Wii U is that they CPU inside is a pain in the ass to port games to.
So the NX supposedly will have an X86 inside.
Despite what people say.. gameplay alone does not matter... it's a relationship of sorts between gameplay, visuals and sound and architecture.. if one falls short of another.. then hardware is not as likely to succeed.
I always felt like they needed to give names to the sections they have. Nintendo Game section. Sony Game section, Microsoft Game section. I wish news sites like IGN would do that... stop having a 3DS and a Wii U section and just go with a Nintendo section.. it's kinda silly. Ah well, rather come here anyhow.
I wanna see this done right.. I hope they're all familiar with the series enough to pull it of properly. They really need to go the CG animated route for these movies... they really do. I hope Nintendo plans to do CG family films for mario.. Live action rarely works for this.
Looks like Sonic if Sega had made a 32 bit 2D sega saturn Sonic game. In other words, the colors and effects and such scream sega saturn, while looking like a sonic game. Shame sega never actually MADE a 2D sonic game on the sega saturn.. they just ported a sonic collection to sega saturn in the form of Sonic Jam. I wish Sega would just make more new 2D sonic games and stop trying to thrust sonic into 3D.
Also.. "Games Yanks Can't Wank"? What the hell sort of title is that? Ohhhhh that's right, dipsticks from the UK call folks from the US yanks. Even though people in the south in the US already call folks in the nort yanks. Confusing much. I get the feeling this dude is not fond of folks from the US.
I knew this already. And NOT because of "Guru" Larry Bundy Jr. There are other youtube vids that came before his that talked about the subject. He's a day late and a rollar short... as it were.
I watched the gameplay footage, and it looks like a hell of a fun time to me. I plan to buy it. It's pretty much what i expected it to be. Feels kinda like batman mixed with some streets of rage, and plenty of blood splattering and gore. I can't f*cking wait to buy it!
My assumption is that it could mean power consumption. Nintendo is constantly worried about having a console that needs too much juice to run. For many reasons, but one aspect is keeping it cool. But if my theory is correct. the NX will be a handheld that can act as a home console. Which is probably an idea they got from consumers who kept thinking the Wii U tablet could be taken on the go. Another idea is that, Nintendo's handhelds tend to do better, and the home consoles do so so.... So if they combine the 2, it could mean a bigger better market. I mean, it IS getting to a point where some tablets and even smart phones can hook to TVs in some form or fashion.. allowing games you play on those devices to be shown on a TV. Maybe Nintendo plans to sort of go with that, but go at it from a different angle. All i know.. is i'm slowly losing faith in them.. Specially with the news that Nintendo did not want to publish devils third in the US.. which is F'ing ridiculous..
I can't stand this damn game..
Feels like a waste of money.
And also feels like theirs no point.
No real objective other than to survive.. and that's it.
Why am i trying to survive?
Why does it matter?
It feels like it does not matter.
Who ever made this game, ugh.
He's kinda right. The only game right now i am gonna get is Freedom Planet. A very sonic inspired 16 bit 2D platformer. But the reality is, i just prefer those kinds of games, and i always have. Maybe Nintendo should stop complaining, and just put more of the types of games that sell. I just REFER 2D games over 3D. There are a lot of eShop games i look at and go "looks boring" or "i don't get the gameplay, what kind of game IS this?". Freedom Planet i can take one look at a screen shot and go "oh! a platformer like sonic!". Sorry fella, i'm just a VERY picky gamer, and i happen to prefer games i can wrap my brain around and enjoy more easily.
I like Super Ninja Brothers more on the SNESS.(i add more than one S so people stop pronouncing it wrong, for crying outloud, there is NO Z at the end)
AM i the only one who wishes he could turn his HD TV on it's side and play one of these shooters how they're meant to be played? I mean.. actually a TV that could easily rotate to it's side and lock in place would be a GREAT idea for specific types of games.
I guess i AM the only who thinks it looks more like Landstalker.
Like a cross between landstalker and wind waker... it looks like they borrowed all sorts of ideas.
It also kinda looks like brave fencer musashi.
I could get it on steam right now, but i rather wait and play it on a console, preferably my wii u.
Also, am i the ONLY one who thinks this game looks more like Landstalker on the genesis, what with it's isometric views?
You have it backwards up in the upper right hand corner where it tells information about the game.
Publisher: Capcom
Developer: Squaresoft
That's wrong, It was developed by Capcom, but Squaresoft originally published it here, Capcom was not willing to try and make the series work in the US at the time, and Squaresoft wanted to put another RPG in the US market while it was hot... so they offered to translate and publish Breath of Fire in the US.
It did pretty good, so then Capcom brought the sequels over themselves.
So it should be.

I know all this stuff, i used to own a physical copy of the US version of the SNES game, even the manual said published by Squaresoft.
For all the complaining about this game looking bland and lifeless, why don't you guys go to the web site for this game and let them know how you feel so that they can look at the issue and improve.
Not sit here commenting as if they will come here personally and see what you say.
I already got a beast of a PC for all the "hard core" games... But for all the fun quirky stuff, and for all the Nintendo only IPs, i have a Wii U. Still got a PS3 from last gen to. Even got a few REALLY old consoles from way back when... Hunting and searching for a Sega Saturn though... i LOVED that console.. sad it did not work out so well...
PFT!!! This is so TAME compared to what has been done else where. You wanna see a game with a TRUELY sexualized character, look no further than Bayonetta! THAT is how you sexualize a character!
This game has been out in the US on smart phones already for awhile now ~_~ It's not the first time coming to the US... BUT i am still happy it's coming to Wii U, we DO need some JRPGs on it.
They should just higher these guys.. not shut them down.
Game companies are silly... they see something like this.. and rather than go "hey we'll pay you, keep up the great work!" they send an order for them to stop.... such bullcrap in my opinion....Nintendo and Sega both are bad about this crap.
