Re: Poll: Tell Us What You Think of the New Nintendo 3DS

TricksterTyler

My only concern with this is that if they are willing to add power to the 3DS and make games only playable on the 'new' model will they do the same to the Wii U down the road? I hope not, handhelds are a little different than home consoles since most people expect to own a home console for 5-6 or more years and releasing a more powerful version of the U would with exclusive games would definitely cause problems.

Re: Video: This Minish Cap Trailer is as Cinematic as Game Boy Advance Gets

@ZeroZX_Dev I'm with you on that. It seems like just yesterday I was sitting playing pokemon on my original GBA and I was amazed at how good the graphics were. I'm still a sucker for SNES/GBA style graphics. The Minish Cap was one game I never picked up, though I'm thinking of buying it for my (still working) GBA. Still a little sketched about buying digital with it being locked to one console.

Re: Satoru Iwata Believes Nintendo Can Establish a "New Core Business" to Join Video Games

@unrandomsam I meant most of Sony's other product lines aren't bringing them much of a profit. I'm not too worried about Sony though...seems Kaz has a plan to get them back on track and what he's done so far looks promising. Just have to wait and see. Iwata on the other hand has me slightly worried...not that I think I could do a better job I just don't agree with the way he is handling things right now. Of course I don't know exactly what his ideas are and that's what has me worried.

Re: Soapbox: Nintendo Soundtracks - Where Are They?

TricksterTyler

Soundtracks, wallpapers for cell phones and computers, ringtones, message tones, there is so much money to be made but I can imagine that Ninty would need the permission of the composers that were hired before they would be able to release that stuff and the composers would naturally get the lion's share of the profits since it's their work could just be a pain in the rear for Ninty in the end.

Re: Developer Interview: PhobosLab on XType Plus, Impact and Why the Nintendo Web Framework Matters

@FireHorsePrime I'd love to see one of these small indie developers become big because of a game they made for a Nintendo console! Nintendo needs a new Rare. Retro and Monolith are great and if Platinum keeps up the support the Wii U will definitely have some awesome games ahead of it. But if a few of these awesome indie developers see success and start making exclusives for the Wii U as well, it could become the must-have console this gen.

@Discipledoctor Thank goodness I don't have class tomorrow...couldn't afford to miss...but I know I would if I was in that position. Guess we have bad priorities lol

I'd like to hear some more about this Quality of Life thing...don't know if that's the sort of thing to appear in a Direct though...

Re: Nintendo Completes Share Buyback, Including Some Holdings of Hiroshi Yamauchi's Family

@mch I'm just complaining about all the bad financial news that we've been hit with here recently...if I were nintendo I would be trying to cover some of the bad press with good press. I completely agree that nintendolife should cover financial news on nintendo but I'm tired of all the negative press I guess. However, this technically isn't a bad financial move by Ninty so my comment doesn't really pertain to this specific article.
