Re: Poll: Where Do You Stand on Miiverse and Its Planned Changes?

jasonbrr

Really couldnt care less. Stopped using it a long time ago and even then didnt use it much. Its basically just people showing off terrible drawings and asking for people to wii chat with.

But seriously how about an eshop redesign. It is easily the worst online shop ever created. Talking about the 3ds and wiiu versions.

Re: Tablets Stole The Wii U's Thunder, Laments Shigeru Miyamoto

jasonbrr

Okay is anyone still going to deny nx is the new home console?
Obviously when he talks affordability it should get people worried they're going to make a system that won't be very powerful. He does say if it's compelling enough people would buy it though. So who knows. Hopefully they learnt some lessons with the wiiu.

Re: Poll: What Did You Think of Nintendo's E3 Digital Event?

jasonbrr

This was probably anyones worst showing at e3. Absolutely horrible. Honestly would anyone want to pick up a wiiu after watching that? I believe the wiiu is officially dead and NX will be its replacement. Zelda and Metroid will be launch titles. Hope Im wrong and later in the week they surprise everyone and show off more unannounced wiiu titles, but I doubt it.
Very disappointed.

Re: Rumour: ZombiU Is Shedding Its Wii U Exclusivity To Infect The PlayStation 4 And Xbox One

jasonbrr

Good. Hope it sells well so we can get a sequel. Loved the first one. Will be interesting to see what they do with it on ps4/xbone. Will they bother doing second screen stuff, both of which can do it..or just make it more of a standard fps. Will they charge full price for it or maybe make it a $40 game instead of a $70.
Not bothered at all that its no longer exclusive. WiiU owners are the only ones to blame. Theyre the ones who didnt buy the game.

Re: Project CARS Studio Boss Admits to Problems With Wii U Version, Hoping For Nintendo Hardware Announcement at E3

jasonbrr

This is actually really interesting. If all of a sudden after e3 they announce the game is cancelled for WiiU and coming to NX then at least we know that NX is a home console. If they just cancel the game or keep making it for wiiu, then NX will be a handheld or something else. No question Nintendo will be showing off NX stuff behind closed doors at e3.

Re: Splatoon Global Testfire is Confirmed for One More Round

jasonbrr

Think I should be home, so will give this another go. Currently dont think its anywhere near worth the $70 theyre asking, especially in the unfinished state theyre going to sell it at.
Really surprised by this price since all other Nintendo games have been cheaper in Canada. To put in context I have The Witcher 3 ordered straight from MS for $59.99, also got a $10 discount for preordering.

Re: Feature: The Key Details on Splatoon, Nintendo's Shot at a New Wii U Hit

jasonbrr

Well got a chance to actually play the game and I wont be buying the game. I found it really boring. Voice chat would have helped. Motion controls are horrible. Once you turn them off its much better. Wish the matches were longer. 4 on 4 at least on this level isnt enough, should be maybe 6 on 6 or even 8 on 8. There were matches where I barely saw anyone. Graphics were really good and it ran very smoothly. Didnt experience any lag. Did have to wait once in the lobby for like 3-5 minutes for 1 player to join and when in there nothing I could do but wait. Couldnt even click on the home button.
Overall the game isnt for me.

Re: Iwata Reveals a Bit More Information on Nintendo's Upcoming Integrated Membership Service

jasonbrr

" With this new membership, we are planning to deploy services that will make playing Nintendo games with their game pals more fun regardless of which platform they are accessing."

This is interesting.Wonder if this means a better communication experience. So you would be able to message and voice chat with your friends list regardless of what device they're on. Perhaps this is why splatoon has no voicechat. It will be implemented into the system now and not the games.

Re: Splatoon Global Testfire Demo Confirmed For This Weekend

jasonbrr

WTF are they thinking? You can only play this "demo" at certain hours? This isnt a beta or stress test..the game is coming out very soon. Betas and stress tests should have been done months ago. Seriously they should just run the demo over the entire weekend and have special events during those couple hours.
Hopefully life doesnt get in the way and I can actually try this game.

Re: Poll: Is Splatoon a Blockbuster That'll Help Revive the Wii U?

jasonbrr

@DarkNinja9 Thing is its not just a multiplayer game. Its an objective team based game. If it was just single player deathmatch then you can make some points of it not being important. But once you need to work as a team, its pretty essential.
Like I said before I dont by the reasons they give for them lacking this feature. I really believe they dont have the people in the company to implement it properly. Same reason why the Mario games lacked online play completely, cause they couldnt implement it properly.Remember this is now running on Nintendos own servers, with the wii/ds they were running over gamespys. Setting up a network like this isnt easy. MS started way back and are still the standard. It took Sony years to catch up. And it will probably take Nintendo even longer. This is why I think they teamed up with DeNA.

And anyone who says they dont care about voice chat...really? You wouldnt want to talk with your friends when playing the game?

Re: Poll: Is Splatoon a Blockbuster That'll Help Revive the Wii U?

jasonbrr

No voice chat is a joke. And the reasoning behind it is even worse. Theres things like parental controls and mute options if you dont want it. I actually dont believe this reasoning at all, I actually believe noone in Nintendo has the actual technical skills to implement voice chat. Nintendos online infrastructure is a complete mess and a joke. Hopefully DeNA will be able to help them. If not, then I think they should be talking to Valve.

As for if the game will sell more wiius, not a chance. Will it sell a lot to current wiiu owners.. not sure. Theres been a lot of games come out on the wiiu i thought would sell very well and they barely sold anything, so who knows. Its almost as if there are people out there who bought a wiiu and havent bought any games.

Re: Feature: The Big Nintendo Direct Summary - 1st April

jasonbrr

Pretty disappointing direct for me. Fatal Frame localization was the big hit for me. And really, do we really have to beg and put up petitions to get a game like this localized still?
Mariokart 200cc was another nice surprise, nothing mind blowing though.
The rest was basically games coming out in the fall with no set release dates and re-releasing old games once again.
Hopefully e3 will be an incredible showing for them.

Re: Talking Point: What We Expect from Nintendo Direct - 1st April

jasonbrr

They'll be announcing a bunch of release dates for sure. I think they will 100% show off Starfox. I doubt they will show off Metroid..I think that will wait till e3. I think they'll announce 2 new games, the AAA port and the one famitsu teased. And I expect some demos to come out today. Perhaps a demo for Splatoon.
No clue what they will show off for 3ds..im guessing the regular sized new 3ds will be coming to NA. As for games I have no clue.

Re: Cancelled ZombiU Sequel Prototype Featured Co-Op and Alternate Routes

jasonbrr

I loved zombiu. Still the best use of the gamepad. A coop heavy sequel would have been amazing. It was really the game that pushed me to get a wiiu. I told myself not to buy it at launch, I lasted like 3 days and picked it up. Looking back, this game might be my fav game so far this generation.
Really hope Ubi surprises everyone with this sequel. Noone thought Red Steel would get a sequel so theresa little bit of hope.

Re: The Legend of Zelda for Wii U No Longer Set for 2015 Release

jasonbrr

The fact they wont even show it at e3 kinda makes me think it will end up as a launch title for the NX. Might still come out for wiiu like how twilight princess released. Starfox will now be pushed back till November. Who knows maybe Retros game is coming along very well and might come out this year. Ugh who knows. Nintendo needs a Direct NOW!

Re: Nintendo Working On New 'Dedicated Game Platform' Codenamed 'NX'

jasonbrr

@NandN3ds

It was a "leak" last year that Nintendo were working on this. It was called codename Fusion.
http://nintendonews.com/2014/01/nintendo-fusion-could-be-nintendos-next-gen-hardware-name/

Do I think they will do this? I doubt it. The cost would be too high unless the systems specs arent very good. Do I want to do this? Not really. Rather just see a very powerful home console with very little gimmicks. What do I think NX is? Think its a streaming service.

Re: Iwata Remains Positive on the Future of the Wii U and 3DS Systems

jasonbrr

Lets be honest, the wiiu has no future. Its a system on life support. No game will make it a success. That ship has sailed. MK8 and SmashBros were supposed to change everything, and it didnt happen. They made way too many mistakes with this system and for whatever reason decided to do nothing at all to fix any of them and continue to be in denial.
