Earth Worm Jim and Lost Vikings for Smash Brosh would be monumentally awesome.
Oh and Nintendo Battle Chess with small minigames and different teams would be beyond that. Just think Zelda army vs. Kirby army in a gruel game of chess and minibattles. A Fleeting dream if there ever was one, but now I will have that for the rest of m'life.
Gonna wait until I know if this comes to NX. If it does it will be my go to start game for the console. That is if I buy it since I am still on the fence with all these rumors... Not as angry as week ago, but still on the fence.
If it doesn't come to NX then definitely gonna go for the Sun since it seems to be the less bought
@KTT If people want to bury their loved ones in a burial ground by all means. It just shouldn't be statekept and state mandated place. On your own grounds on your own spot that you will pay and maintain for go for it.
I see most of your points and I understand them. They are good points and ones that can be respected. Unfortunately I don't agree with them and thus we might just have to agree to disagree, since we are clearly worlds apart in this matter when it comes to the actual land and the cemeteries built on it.
If talking about environment and the factors regarding that then graveyards are still worse than cremation due to their location and the greenhouse gases emitted during trips back and forth to that location by the mourners during the years after death.
When it comes to mercury in dental fillings we can hopefully realise that it's 2016 and amalgam is not the only option as we have better solutions in most cases.
Having a historical value is a thing, yes. However most graveyards that are large and in use are not those of significant historical value and instead are constantly growing on large modern cities.
Yes there are people that are alive and want to mourn. We should give them that chance. But that chance should be given in some other form and fashion than building massive landconsuming stoneslab rows one after another.
And even if you hoped that I would pick cremation it still is the best alternative. Maybe a solar powered version would be even better, but atm. it's the best we've got.
@KTT Cremation is easily the most cost-efficient way of disposing dead bodies. Then the ashes (or bonematerial to be precise) can be used to whatever the descendants or other caretakers of them wishes to do. They can bury it on their own backyard or scatter them to the sea or donate them to create a road out of or even sculpt it into an industrialized diamond if they so wish.
Having a 6-10 pounds of bonesand to store is quite a lot less than what is the custom now.
@Darknyht There might be a great deal to understanding from the past, honoring those who are no longer with us and even some sort of reverence to great people of the history.
However using millions and millions of hectars city land to bury people in their own individual little spots is still nonsense. If you want to respect your own family, do it in the confines of your own home. You want to build a shrine to someone? By all means, within your lands and your money. You want to show remembrance to a great scientist or war hero? Build a monument in a park, on a street corner, in front of a military office, on the site of their greatest achievement, not on a spot where their corpse now lies.
I have nothing against honoring someone or remembering loved ones. I do have massive issue on how certain religious habits have conquered sanity withing city planning, in our lives and in our society.
@TeeJay I really do fail to see the point in saying cemeteries are in any way a great thing or somehow holy sites or anything resembling to that.
I fail to see the people's need to remember anyone in their lives with a stone and a place to put their bodies. I do not understand the need to use literally millions of acres of best land in cities to occupy with dead people.
First not day one Ninty console, unless they can persuade me somehow in the upcoming months. Atm I am not least interested in the concept or impressed with the whole idea. Also losing 3ds 3rd party developers due to HD requirements makes droughts even worse.
@Darknyht Inappropriately to whom? To other people? To dead? Dead don't mind. Then how about I take offense with people lighting candles on graveyards. Now THAT's offensive, since I know a bloke who died on a fire.
@Vincent294 Well tell me this. Why do you need graveyards? For people to mourn and remember their loved ones? To defend a system where man invented sin and grace are delivered according to political decisions made hundreds of years ago?
Why do you need a stone slab and walls to remember anyone?
Lots of sites are confirming this through their own sources. I'll take this as fact now and be depressed accordingly.
First 49ers hired Chip Kelly, then world politics went down the sewer and now this. Truly I have to say to my children that world was better when I was young ;_;
@The-Snarfer Of the 3DS games more than 80% are developed and published by other than Nintendo. Most of those developers aren't going to jump into building whole new games to a whole different kind of system.
Also considering how long Ninty takes with it's HD-games I am wondering if Codename S.T.E.A.M. would still be in development if it was Wii U game along with 3DS.
So yeah I have very little faith at the moment if these rumors hold out to be true.
Instead of luring back the Triple-A developers with a powerful enough and simple enough console Nintendo is going the other route.
It will eliminate the ongoing relationships with the 3DS developers that will not suddenly start producing upscaled HD-versions of their games.
And thus NX will feature 4 games each year that will all receive very high marks and ratings. Retro will still be working on a new unannounced title that will release on the "next console cycle".
There was an article way back in Forbes tech section that analysed the analysts in tech. Pachter was on top3 with a very high success rate for investors.
He might be an butt, but if I had to give my money to someone in tech business and trust for solid payback he would be a good candidate.
Yes he's had his share of poopy commentary, but for Wii U as an example, kinda spot on.
I'll hope he is right again, since I have Nintendo stocks nowadays (Well not me, my kids have them, but I am their guardian and asset holder)
@MadAussieBloke ... Yes... Because MK8 is also closing, and Splatoon, and SMM all the others...
Devil's Third is a bad game and it has very few players. That's the reason for closing the servers. Possibly problems with the developers sustaining support for the game as well etc.
First time since 2008 that I ain't even bothered to watch the event. I'll just browse Nintendolife and read the disappointment from people's comments. No hype train for me

Re: Talking Point: What Approach Should Nintendo Take With Its NX Reveal?
@JubilifeRival I have absolutely no knowledge that NX wouldn't be the official name of the product. There is absolutely no rumors saying so.
Thus, No I don't know what the official name is going to be or indeed if it's going to be NX.
BUT if there was for example direct announced with the reveal it would still say NINTENDO NX and that I can bet on.
Re: Talking Point: What Approach Should Nintendo Take With Its NX Reveal?
Don't put Large NINTENDO NX banner on the front page like that.
You make people gasp for breath and search frantically for the cursor causing severe eye strain before the mind has time to read the headline.

Re: Ubisoft Has "Surprises" Yet to be Announced for Nintendo NX
Just Dance it is.
And then some crappy party game that they will eventually cancel.
After that they will say they cherish a valued partnership with Nintendo and believe that no one should underestimate them in the next console cycle.

And by low I mean anything below 15-16.0 mark. Any time Ninty hits that mark I build up.
