Re: Nintendo Japan Announces Plans for YouTube Affiliate Program

Wonky_Kong

@XCWarrior wow...just wow...That "guy sitting in the basement" relies on his videos to make a sufficient income. For people who primarily make Nintendo videos this will leave them even more poor.

I don't understand why Nintendo feel they deserve money for others peoples creative content. If it's an un-commentated let's play i can sort of understand, but people don't watch Youtube videos for the footage, but rather the comical touch over the footage. They need to understand the Youtube videos build up more hype than a lot of other formats, Goat Simulator for example, was a bad game that scored lucky because of Youtube

@Squid I hate squids, immigrating to the deep blue sea and taking our jobs! what you need is a slap on the tentacles, not more representation in the industry!

When will this end! Darn squids trying to become part of society

Re: Review: Turtle Tale (3DS eShop)

Wonky_Kong

A game does not need to be good to get put through QA, it just needs to actually work and not be a buggy mess, this doesnt fit my tastes, but it is not horrific.
@Rococoman Nintendo can't make indie devs make games for them, that is the devs choice.

Re: Curve Studios And Dakko Dakko Heap Praise On The "Inspirational" Wii U

Wonky_Kong

I'm getting a WiiU for the MK8 bundle on may 30th, but i still have some problems with it. I have no problem with the graphics, DKCTF and SM3DW look better than forza or infamous and i have my PC for high end graphic stuff. The main problem may end up with processing power, i mean how much can a WiiU do at one time without the framerate dropping to 50 or so?

Re: Talking Point: What We Want To See From Nintendo's Next Handheld

Wonky_Kong

I think the main thing i disagree with is the pricing for games section. F2P can work, but it is a rare occasion and so many F2P games pass under our noses. I think the pricing is right at the moment. If Nintendo wanted to go F2P with tloz the game would be of a worse quality, as it is more of a risk. Also, through all my time playing F2P games on steam, i only enjoyed the price system of DOTA2, TF2 and Loadout, a good F2P model is hard to come by.

A better pricing alternative would just be to increase the sales on the eshop, and that would also help a transition to digital.

Re: Mario Kart 8 Bundle Dips Below £200 In The UK, Includes Additional Free Game Offer

Wonky_Kong

@Ryno Fair point, but the economy here in the UK is crappy, for example, we pay £40 for those 3DS titles that were reduced to $30 in the US. And the OUYA was $99 in the US and still £99 in the UK. Our price of living just sucks
Still, That is £40 less that the TLOZWW bundle on amazon, and this one comes with Mario Kart and another game, TLOZ if you want it

@unrandomansam I guess i've allways been against the white WiiU anyhow, But 32GB will keep me for a bit (some indies and such). Plus £40 is enough to get 2 Pro controllers aswell, to play that couch multiplayer. In reference to the sensor bar thing, im getting rid of my Wii anyway so the extra sensor bar is a bonus
I guess it's just preference.

Re: Ubisoft Now "Fully Focused" On Making The Wii U Version Of Watch_Dogs "The Best It Can Be"

Wonky_Kong

Meh, watchdogs is another Ubi open world game, so lets hope it is good. Ubi open world games are never great and i'm sure this won't be game of the year by any stretch of the imagination.

But if i do buy this i'll get it for PC. The graphics will be better and it'll be cheaper on steam. One thing i don't understand is why people feel they have a 'duty' to support Nintendo. I love Nintendo but that doesn't mean i should settle with a second class experience

Re: Review: Child of Light (Wii U eShop)

Wonky_Kong

@pukka-pie This game is not indie, it is published by ubisoft and developed by the same team as far cry 3. Just because a game is indie doesn't mean a 70-80 metascore. Look at super meat boy, bastion, ftl, spelunky, limbo or more. Good indie games get high scores in the same way good AAA games get good scores

Re: New Details Rise for Transformers: Rise of the Dark Spark

Wonky_Kong

Well, FOC and WFC were amazing but let's see how edge of reality handle it. High Moon made a great universe based on the cartoons but the real world setting worries me. Edge of reality did make Loadout though which is a rather fun 3rd person shooter, so they should do well.

also a correction, High Moon didn't make a trilogy, but rather two games in one series (WFC+FOC) and Transformers dark of the moon, which was terrible and based of the movieverse.

Re: Nintendo Has "Lost Its Way" But Should Never Be Underestimated, Says Peter Molyneux

Wonky_Kong

This article is the perfect example of why the NL comment section is so awful. People are slamming a well established game-dev and calling him ugly? really people? you disagree with him so you decide to say he looks like a toad, even if he did (which he doesn't) then it would make his argument invalid, the WiiU is still clunky compared to an IPad for example. The comment section is so terrible on this website, and though i love NL and the coverage is the best for a nintendo website, I find it strange that NL find the need to make this kind of thing into an article. URGH i mean either way, Peter Molyneux was not cursing nintendo, he was just being critical, but at least he did it with maturity unlike the people commenting here.

Oh yeah, did i mention how stupid people were being with the microsoft thing? becuase 1) he worked for Lionhead, not microsoft and 2)he works at 22cans now and 3)just because he was associated with microsoft doesnt make his point any less valid
