@aaronsullivan We're not talking about "any game". We're talking about a home console with a 6 year life cycle and full 3D games! There's a reason why Xbox and PS4 controllers "DONT" look like SNES pads. . . They have no place anymore in modern gaming!
That controller split is crap! Really hope thats just a rumour!!! Both Vita and 3DS had awful probs due to lack of buttons! 3DS tried (and failed) to rectify it first with that ridiculous Circle Pad Pro , then with that stupid nub BUT Vita (even after a hardware revision) is still 4 BUTTONS TOO SHORT((!!!???!!!) (completely unacceptable - four shoulder buttons and R3/L3 have been INDUSTRY STANDARD for almost 20 years) for remote play! Really does ruin PS4 remote play experience for me!! Why should I be struggling to play because of downright stupid decisions from Sony!! Its oversight/bungling incompetence time after time after time! Ultimately, breaking the controls in half is fine ... if you playing old Snes games on a tablet etc ... Its absolute crap for modern gaming. How r u supposed to play 2 player CoD with ONLY ONE control stick and 4 buttons!!!!
Better have a full set of industry standard buttons!! Not buying it if there's no r2/r3/l2/2nd joystick etc! The way Sony have completely screwed up PS4 remote play still irritates me, even after buying the Vita l2/r2 peripheral, some games still border on unplayable!!
More terrible design decisions from Ninty. The Megadrive version of this has been around for years - it's tiny, loaded with games, BUT it DOES play cartridges!
@Kirk yeah ..... And it "just so happens" that the time taken to master your "physics engine" (from way back in 2014) coincides PERFECTLY with the release of their new console in .... Um .... 2017!!!! ...... hang on ..... wait for it ...... YEAH RIGHT!!! Nintendo are no strangers to physics engine... Nothing I've seen in botw looks like it moves different to any other Zelda.
Zelda: BotW had BETTER NOT have any extra content over the Wii U version!!! .... "put smiles on families' faces"????!!!!! .... does Zelda put smiles on families faces .... does Metroid put smiles on "families" faces .... Uve already tried that with Wii Sports Resort and Nintendo Land ... time to FORGET about "the family" and focus on THE GAMER!!!!!!!
Not sure I want an open world Zelda. Love open world when done right but so easy to lose interest. Really liked Link Between Worlds but hated the item purchase shop on my 2nd play through. Prefer traditional Zelda.
Really wish they'd hammer the nails into this crap!!! This has nothing to do with gaming. . make action figures on the side ... Fine ... but dressing it up as DLC that's worth bout 50p is really just exploiting kids and unsuspecting parents! ... Or maybe I'm just a grumpy ole cynic!
Devito dodged a serious bullet bill(see what i did there?)! Everything about it was tragic. Nothing looked like it should ... from Yoshi to the Goombas to Hopper's King Koopa ... just a weird guy with weird hair, a long tongue and a rocket launcher. . . and whats with all that organic funky stuff all over the sets! The worse part was the cringeworthy "big reveal" of the surname .. Mario Mario and Luigi Mario ...... YEAH .. RIGHT!!!
Wonderboy in Monsterland on Master System was my fave. Never finished it back in the day coz couldn't get passed the maze.... Didn't realise you could by a bell to chime you to the Mecha Dragon... Which is also rock hard. Finished it last week on my N3DS. Had to use save state for the last boss. Way too hard. Would like to take on Dragons Trap again (without using the famous WE5TONE cheatcode)!!
Thank God.... Hope this FAD completely dies out soon! Dressing (otherwise dirt cheap) exclusive DLC up as an expensive, rigid and very limited figurine seems pretty cynical!
.... The game that saved my Christmas!!!! All the other big releases were a let down (Star Wars, Just Cause 3 etc) then this came out of the blue to steal my time! Took my time to fully max out all my bots before completing it. I generally hate turn-based games but this was something a bit different and turned out to be one of my faves of last year - on any system. Defo worth the money and no qualms paying for extra DLC.
On top of recent software being lacking in quality (apparently Star Fox was held back to tweak it????) with no sign of it improving, not a big game in sight, and the relatively poor support U owners have had - this is another major kick in the teeth. Only way I'd buy an NX would be if Ninty upgraded ALL my Wii U games (the ones rumoured to have upgraded NX versions) FOR FREE... as a token of goodwill for standing buy Wii U this far ... and for this next year where im guessing Wii U will get even less support! This whole situation has been Nintendo's fault and once again it's the consumer that has to pay for their mistakes. Much as I adore Nintendo this is completely UNACCEPTABLE!!!
I never "got" Starfox, even the original when everyone was cooing .. "Look at the SCALING POLYGONS!!!!" Looked rubbish to me and found it extremely boring! Gave the SNES version another try last night... my mind hasn't changed. Then I booted up the 3DS version .... played through training and first couple of levels. Was OK. Slightly better than I remember. Will be interesting to see how Zero is received. . . the trailer is none too exciting!!!
The Wii U was only released 3 1/2 years ago. They've been talking about NX for 6 months now... 3 yrs is not along time before introducing the name of another console. PS4 was released 2 1/2 years ago. Do you think Sony will announce the PS5 within next 6 months? As for quality titles ... I love my Wii U .. Handful of great games that I still play frequently BUT... MGSV , Witcher 3, Arkham Knight, Far Cry, Uncharted 4/collection, Outlast, Journey, Firewatch, LBP 3, GoW, The Division, Hitman. . . (thats just a fraction-ive got 126 QUALITY games on my PS4) there really is no comparison.
Would be a nice gesture if people who own these remakes for Wii U would be given a free NX uprade download! . . . given the unreasonably short life of the Wii U and the low number of quality titles we've had in comparison to the other 2 consoles. . . it seems like it's the least Nintendo could do for the fans that have stood by them throughout the Wii U life cycle.
Loved Other M. . . so did lots of reviewers. Loved the cinematic cutscenes and had no problem with the way Samus was portrayed. Sure ... It's a different way she has to get her power ups but that's not really an issue that affects the gameplay in anyway. Would've liked nunchuck support but it plays fine with the d-pad.
Wish they could've made this 8 player online!!! Would be incredible .... always loved the handling in the Snes game better than any other. Would be great multi-player with no rubber-banding!!! Sure it won't be the same if you've played the modern ones first but I loved the smaller courses and tighter corners .... Rainbow Road 150CC ... once u master the cornering ... is a walk in the park! Toad was always my fave character in this one!!!
Probably my fave game ever and one I revisit once a year or so. Started it on Snes 20yrs and never got into it at all. Tried again umpteen times and .... still nothing. In 2006, after finishing Fusion and Zero Mission, I made a commitment to delve a little deeper and absolutely adored it!!! Fave of the series. Wasn't too keen on the Gamecube games - think the side scrolling style suits it far better. Envious of people who have yet to play this gaming great for the 1st time!!!!
I really enjoyed the motion controls on the Wii Version and on Skyward Sword where they refined them to perfection!!! Aiming for Bow and Hookshot worked a dream as well as the sword slashing! It seems they evolved motion controls into something credible with motion plus, then they go backwards yet again! Fair enough, not everyone appreciated it but to not even include the option is a kick in the teeth and prob why I won't purchase the HD version!
SNES emulator on my old 3DS was always patchy. Lots of slowdown and mode 7 games were barely playable. Latest libretro Snes emulator plays like a dream on New 3DS, including Starfox, Mario Kart, Pilotwings, F-Zero etc. That's the holy grail of gaming for me... a pocket SNES and a full romset!
Not giving the public a wiimote/m+ control option is pants. I really liked the motion controls ... especially for aiming. Should've overhauled it an added motion plus to the sword swinging for the people that preferred that control scheme. Another stupid oversight to add to the list.
@Uberchu Not forgetting about any technical side... The 2nd stick electronics are already in the New 3DS. Mechanism is there ... all you do is replace the nub with a slider!!!
That New 3ds nub is a dreadful design choice.... More than enough real estate to fit another circle pad. Had a chance to give the public what they were asking for and blew it ..... again. Baffling!
Loved this game... Took my time with ... 25 hours to level up everyone to 10 and complete it!!! Having said that ... Some games are perfect and I draw a line after completing them .... This is one!!! No desire for any DLC but defo in my top 3 of last year and by far the BEST game released over festive period, when lots of the BIG releases disappointed!!!
A Link to the Past ... Has to be!!! Rushing home after school as a 14 year old boy to continue my adventure. Had never played anything like it before. Epic storytelling on the grandest scale!!! Still love em all apart from the Nes ones! Amazing how Ninety can create excellence no matter the hardware limitations! Link's Awakening deserves particular mention!!! A full Zelda experience on that little Gameboy screen!!! Immense!!
VR in its current form is dead!! Same as Motion Plus, PS Move, New 3DS, Kinect etc... These things only work if theres NO fragmentation!! All the things I mentioned are still great tech .... yet no one supports them or ever did, apart from a handful of early games!! VR will only work if a console is designed exclusively for it!!! If devs are given the choice to develop for 30,000,000 PS4 users ... would they rather cater to an audience of 2,000,000 PS4 VR headset owners??? Unlikely!!! Sure, its exciting now ... but so was PS Move, New 3DS and Kinect!!
Hardly surprising... Fragmentation rarely works.... Wii tons of games... Motion plus just a handful. Ps3 tons of games... PS Move a handful. Xbox 360... Kinect etc etc. New 3ds just the same... 1 exclusive game in a year! Same will happen with VR unless a console is released where a VR headset is compulsory. On the plus side my new 3ds has complete Snes/Genesis/Master System/GameGear/GBA/PS Engine romsets and the retroarch emulators (particularly SNES) are incredible.. . worth the upgrade cost alone.
Loved it on Wii... But why aren't we getting an HD version?? Started playing it recently on my 50" LG and it looks dreadful.... Realise the HD version I've got on Ps3 wasn't exactly a looker but it's a darn sight better than the muddy, grainy Wii version.
Thoroughly deserves it!! ALL the big xmas console releases were kind of a let down!! Gave Heist a shot (I generally hate turn based games) and loved it!!! Ploughed 25 hours into it and levelled everyone up to the max!!! Addictive as hell!!!
With great homebrew and emulators on 3DS now and on WiiU via vwii, Ninty should just dump every nintendo rom on the eshop and charge £1-£2 per game! Beat the pirates and rake it in. I just installed Retroarch on my N3DS yesterday and the emulator cores including Snes play like a dream... Much better than even PSP now. WiiU emus are naturally even better still and run perfectly!
Amiibo Schmiibo!! Load of kids nonsense. Really wish they hadn't taken off! A cynical, opportunist cash machine to exploit unsuspecting parents. In 2 yrs they'll hopefully by bargain binned like the original D Infinity figures.
Love the concept... I love playing console games in bed/on the go!! Odd.... Everyone still swears the reason the Vita failed is because people don't want to play home console games on a handheld... Just not true...
This "branding" crap is nonsense.... I don't know ANYONE who didn't understand that Wii U was a new console. . . All u need to rectify it anyway is "1" advert that says "Wii U.... A new console from Nintendo". No one seemed confused by 3DS or XBoxOne! The console obviously alienated 3rd parties But... If third parties produce lacklustre ports of old games... What do they expect!
Wii U games "sale" was appalling! It's a sad day when your Black Friday efforts can be trumped ANY DAY OF THE YEAR by PS Store deals! Crap service from Nintendo and it's reflected in the sales charts!
Why does ANYONE care about this?? An extra character in an already overcrowded, old game, who seems to borrow his moves from other characters.... That's the big reveal at the end!!?? That's what people want...??
