Re: UK Nintendo Switch eShop Lists Neo Geo Titles for Launch Day

Yalaa

@Yasume Yup, but only if you haven't played with that player online before or aren't in the same game room.

I admit it is unnecessary to have friend codes again but most of my friends on PSN are people I invited to play online with only once or twice and never bothered them again, so it's really not that bad.

Re: New Hack Offers A Full Game Library On Your NES Classic Edition

Yalaa

@dereq Yeah, in case you didn't know the NES Classic includes games NOT developed nor published by Nintendo like Mega Man 2, Contra, Final Fantasy and even Pac-Man.

So just "IP's and licensing rights" should not be an issue unless Nintendo just doesn't want to go through all the trouble.

Re: New Hack Offers A Full Game Library On Your NES Classic Edition

Yalaa

@OzHuski Silly? Yes silly on Nintendo's part for not thinking about it. I'm sure more people would be interested in the system had it not been limited to 30 already well known games.

Obviously Nintendo is not going to include the whole NES library but they could have made it possible to add more games to it which would lead to even better sales.

Since this is not the case the fans have to use this hack to illegaly add the games they like on their Nes Mini. It's wasted potential if you ask me.

Re: Gearbox CEO Doesn't See Borderlands 3 Coming To Nintendo Switch

Yalaa

I have very low hopes for western third parties supporting the Switch because let's be honest here,

Nintendo doesnt really cater much to western games or genres other than Ubisoft and their games like Rayman and Just Dance, and Nintendo has too much of a negative reputation around western third parties/gamers that it's going to be tough convincing them to support the Switch with quality games.

Again, I love the idea of Skyrim on the Switch but it's going to be a tough sell since its a 6 year old game and it releases on not launch, no, AUTUM 2017 when it should have been out on day 1 and if third parties see that Skyrim doesn't move any sales, most likely the worst sales Bethesda has ever seen, then everyone is going to assume it's because "third parties don't sell on Nintendo consoles" it's going to be the WiiU no games problem all over again.

I do have high hopes for Japanese third party support however and I do hope they will help the Switch sell well and laugh in other third parties and naysayers faces.

Re: Poll: What Did You Think of the Nintendo Switch Presentation?

Yalaa

Nintendo could have mentioned much more but I don't know why people complain about the price, like do you want the system to be even less powerful?

Another complain which I dont get is the third party support. Did anyone seriously expect third parties to blindly support the Switch after the failure of the WiiU?

Everything takes time and I believe that with the Japanese third parties the Switch can grow and so will sales and then western third parties will actually be convinced to support the Switch. Be rational people!

Re: Devil's Third Loses Its Saving Grace as Online Servers Are Closed

Yalaa

@ULTRA-64 I played it and I think it's a terribly boring game definitely not worth the full price when there are indie games less than half the price and twice the value.

@Spideron Yup, because that definitely improves the trust and relationship between 3rd parties and Nintendo.

It's not a coincidence that small developers prefer to work with Sony and Microsoft.

Re: Devil's Third Loses Its Saving Grace as Online Servers Are Closed

Yalaa

@Equinox I understand NoA somewhat, they realized that Devil's Third was a bad game, but there was barely any press for it and the trailers also didn't leave a good impression so all of this contributed to the terrible launch sales.

While the game has its own faults Nintendo of America could have done a better job of marketing and generate some hype around it but since its a mature rated game and a bad one at that, they decided to ignore and almost ditch the game entirely had the fans not noticed something was wrong.

Itagaki was really screwed over by NoA, i feel kind of bad for him cause even if it's a shitty game if Sony or Microsoft had published this game they would have hyped the game to the max even if the end results wouldn't turn out so good.

Re: Yooka-Laylee's Wii U Cancellation is Only Due to Technical Challenges, Not the System's Woes

Yalaa

First Project Cars and now Yooka?

It's ironic how WiiU owners were the first to back and bring mass attention to this project and after all the promises, sweet talk and money spent on this game, WiiU owners aren't even getting it because the creators weren't so sure the system could handle it.

I'm glad I never spent a dime on this. I don't see how anyone could ever trust crowd funded games after this.

Re: Miyamoto on the Reasoning Behind Super Mario Run's Pricing

Yalaa

I'll be the first to say that I spend 10 euros on obscure and probably bad eshop games but I would never spend a dime on a mobile game because I know that in the end most of these games are "pay to win" and games in general just feel better on a dedicated gaming device.

Not even Miitomo or Pokemon GO convinced me to give out some money, however if Super Mario Run gets good reviews i might be interested and actually buy it.

Re: Metroid Developers Reflect on the Development Process of the Original Metroid

Yalaa

@Averagewriter Need I remind you that the question at hand is why these two developers would downplay Yokoi, in what way would they benefit from this? They didn't even say anything bad about him, he's just barely mentioned probably because he was barely involved in the development of the game.

All you're doing is bringing up irrelevant information. Please stop trying to force your conspiracy theories here.

Re: Retro Studios is Hiring and Tweeting, Which is Nice

Yalaa

I think another DKCR would be alright then we got two DKC trilogies which would be awesome.

But maybe it's time for a new ip by Retro.

@ThomasBW84 I think it sold just over a million on WiiU which is not that bad, Prime Trilogy didn't even do half those numbers on Wii and DCKR outsold every Prime game. DKCR3 would be nice.

Re: Nintendo Switch Has "Probably The Best Demo I've Ever Seen" Says Bethesda's Todd Howard

Yalaa

I understand people will take third party comments about the Switch with a huge grain of salt after what happened with WiiU, believe me I do as well.

But in the end third parties need to make a profit just like Nintendo and failing in this day and age can cost you your whole company going down.

I'm hopeful with the Switch every party to take full responsibility and put their money where their mouth is...

-Nintendo, keep chasing those third parties, especially western third parties because you need them just as much as Sony and MS do.
-Third parties, don't give us sweet talk give us games, if you can't just be honest about it and at least try to act we Nintendo gamers also exist and win us over.
-Nintendo gamers, dont just follow and talk about games, buy them!!! (if they're worth it)

Re: Nintendo Confirms That Upcoming European Release of F-Zero X is the 60Hz Version

Yalaa

Unfortunately most people are simply unaware of the 50hz issue, to put it bluntly, Nintendo is selling PAL gamers inferior versions of their games and for the same price worldwide.

Their reasons for this are usually language options or the "nostalgia" factor without giving us any options of buying 50 or 60hz versions. I for one am disgusted of the 50hz collection we got on the Wii VC and jealous of NTSC gamers who got the superior and correct versions.

Hopefully the Switch will be region free like the PS3 and I'll be able to buy all the NTSC retro games without worrying of giving a dime for 50hz trash!

Re: Review: Chase: Cold Case Investigations - Distant Memories (3DS eShop)

Yalaa

I recommend to anyone to use the 20 gold discount and buy the game if interested (you'll get 10 gold coins back by purchasing this game) or don't buy at all and wait for a full release.

I sure enjoyed the game but I was expecting a bit more than 1 hour gameplay which wasn't very involving other than reading, memorizing and pointing out some clues I really hope this becomes a full game like Hotel Dusk!

Re: Video: New NES Mini Trailer Shows Off Games, Display Options And User Interface

Yalaa

@scamander Actually there are like 16 titles which is an improvement over the Wii VC but more than enough to clearly understand that Nintendo is just trolling it's PAL gamers.

By giving us Mario64 in 60hz you would think they finally got the message only for them to baffle us again with Ocarina of Time & Majoras Mask in 50hz. The same happened with DKC trilogy.

Re: Feature: Five Franchises That Deserve A Fresh Chance on the Nintendo NX

Yalaa

Same obvious choices for each new Nintendo system.
What about
The Last Story 2?
Splatoon 2?
Pandora's Tower 2?
Xenoblade 3 ??

Metroid and Star Fox have been giving enough chances they screwed up. these 4 new Nintendo IPs have received a postive to critical acclaim and need to continue proving themselves the only thing slowing them down are low sales (except Splatoon) which Metroid and Star Fox suffer from aswell. So spend money on your newer IPs Nintendo!

F Zero sure deserves another chance on NX.

Re: Metroid Prime: Federation Force Power Bombs in Japan

Yalaa

Whether Federation Force was a desired game yes or not doesn't matter it would still sell terrbly because it's Metroid. Would it sell better in the west? Sure but not by much anyway. I'm sure developers are now even less interested in developing a Metroid game, first because it definitely won't sell and second because it's very supportive and all so mature Metroid fan base will definitely love them for even trying to expand the Metroid games in any form possible.
