Re: E3 2012: New Super Mario Bros. Wii U Screenshot Comparison

I'm not surprised they look mostly the same.

I don't understand what people were expecting out of the new games from a graphical standpoint. NSMBU isn't going for SUPER HD TURBO GRAFIX MAXIMUM. It's supposed to be simple. It's the simple look it's going for. It just looks much more crisper and cleaner- that's it. I do love how the backgrounds are much more beautiful and detailed. That Boo level is phenomenal and gorgeous.

No one is forcing you to play as Miis. Sheesh.

Re: Reaction: Your Opinions on Nintendo's E3 Conference

It was underwhelming. They really shouldn't have had Ubisoft and Warner Bros. on stage- particularly Ubisoft since they already had their show. Then again, if they didn't, then it would have been a shorter presentation.

My biggest issue with both Nintendo and Microsoft is that they highlight "casual" games. People who watch E3 are gamers. The casuals probably and most likely don't even know what E3 is. Showing WiiFitU was a bad idea.

Though, this 1 hour briefing isn't stopping me from getting WiiU. I'm totally open to Nintendo Land and already have almost 10 games on my radar for WiiU so far something I couldn't even say the same for Wii or even 3DS near launch. I think the games launching alongside the console are stellar and cover all bases. Best launch-line up since Sega Dreamcast.

Re: Talking Point: Reviewing Nintendo's E3 Press Conference

The worst part that I'm trying to scrub off my mind is when the game "Sing" came up. WTF. Particularly of the song played.

I. Hate. that. Song. So much!

As soon as the lyrics popped on the screen, my mind was "...Nintendo.. No.. Please don't do it.. Nintendo! Don't!!!" D:

I try so hard to avoid that song and the LAST place I wanted to hear it was at their press conference.

@MasterGraveheart

You should check out the amazing MOTHER4 Fan project. It looks so.. official. And it's cool that Itoi looked at it and hopes to play it himself when it's done.

Anyhow, lots of surprises in store at E3 for Nintendo. I think the weakest is going to be Microsoft. Sony has lots of potential with more announcements for Vita and PS3. Microsoft? Meh, more 3rd party software that's accross all platforms anyways and not much of any exclusives/1st party. Starting the conference with Black Ops 2... Oh man, how exciting... When that's available on other platforms anyhow. Maybe they'll surprise me, but I'm not holding my breath for that.

Re: Feature: Games We'd Love to See at E3

I don't want a new IP just yet. Nintendo has a backlog of franchises and series that need the attention they deserve. Hell, I want to see a new Ice Climbers game- albeit a small revival on eShop/WiiU Shop. A multiplayer-modernized Balloon Fight.. Star Fox, Metroid. How about a new Baten Kaitos (not sure if Nintendo owns the franchise since they did buy most shares of Monolith but I think Namco owns the rights).

I'd say focus on bringing old IPs to life and worry about brand new ones later that are relatively like Mario or Zelda in terms of scale.

Re: Doubts About Monster Hunter 3 G Worldwide Release

komicturtle

I still think it's coming. They've been keeping silent on it for such a long time- if there are no plans at all, we would have known by now. MML3 anyone? Then again, that was a cancellation..

I stick by "If TvC was localized with all the hurdles Capcom had to jump over, MHTriG should be released world wide".

I don't want to hear the "business and market" excuse, either.

Re: Colour-Based AR Patent is Hot Stuff

komicturtle

Whoa... Is that a new model of the 3DS? Bigger screen...?

Design looks like DSi fused with 3DS. And you can see the "ornamented" slide pad.. Please let this be true. I want my 3DS to be like the DSi in regards to how it feels as well as the d-pad and FLAT screen (no gap like there already is on 3DS).

@FonistofCruxis
The person forgot to mention Inafune leaving the project he initially started that Capcom did not want to work on in the first place right in the middle of it. That's a very important piece of information these people seem to miss or just plainly want to ignore because the truth is really really ugly, now, huh?
