Re: Iwata Defends Identical Digital and Retail Prices

komicturtle

Of course people will attack Nintendo on this. There are those who don't realize it's the same case for PSN and even (omg I'm going there), Steam.

Argue about Steam sales- at the end of the day, when a new game comes out and also comes out on Steam, it's the same identical price.

Re: We'll Probably See Some New Nintendo Characters Soon

komicturtle

Actually, we have seen plenty of new characters by Nintendo. Trace Memory, Chibi Robo, Disaster, Captain Rainbow, Glory of Heracles.. Starfy, Pushmo's Mallow, Dillon, Sakura Samurai, new FE characters. Then, we have some Japan exclusive characters by Nintendo.. Nintendo has been producing new IPs all the time. Of the big 3, Microsoft hasn't been bringing anything new.

Can't believe people miss that o_O

Re: Analyst Calls for Mario on Non-Nintendo Platforms

komicturtle

It's not even a persoonal opinion. It's a well known fact.

And I acknowledge what you explicitly said, no need to reiterate.

And I think people like you need to look at the bigger broader picture and realistically see how bad it can be to their business at this point. No sugar coating needed.

My stance is this: If you want to play Playstation games, buy a Playstation. If you want to play Nintendo games, buy a Nintendo system. If you want to play Xbox games, buy an Xbox. Most of the people (from what I see) are people just complaining about not wanting to buy another platform to play games they want to play (which I find ridiculous and any gamer should know the differences between 1st party and 3rd party).

We can agree to disagree.

It wouldn't be smart. They have the 3DS to take care of. The last thing they need is anything cannibalizing their platforms. A little "fling" with the smartphones would be ok. But to make a total shift- outrageous. Not only that, the phones these days just plain suck. They're not reliable as a phone should be, battery life plays a key role as well as the fact most phones are rushed to market just to compete with "the latest technology" when really, they need to get back to making phones dependent. I'm tired of thinking "Hm, I wonder if my phone is going to hang up or crash today".

I only have 3 games on my smartphone. Honestly, as big of a gamer I am and how I'm open to any gaming platform, gaming on a smartphone, for me, isn't ideal.

Smartphones have a LOOONG way to go anyhow.

Re: Nintendo Still Envisions Selling Retail Games Digitally

komicturtle

By the time Smash Bros. 3DS comes out, the feature would be implemented. And it may be the first game I'll get as a downloadable title. Want to have that (and Animal Crossing) with me everywhere.

I feel like NSMB2 may be the first game to be downloadable as well as FE: Awakening.. E3 may shine light on this...

Re: Remixed Pilotwings Soundtrack Takes Flight

komicturtle

You know, I loved Pilotwings Resort. It's a great game. Also enjoyed PW64. Never played the original. I hope a sequel to PWR comes along with online play- flying around the island with friends and taken on challenges would be sooo fun...

Re: Organise Your Home Menu With New 3DS Update

@Ulala
I know that line.. Except, "Update" would be "Rescue".

Anyhow, nice to see folders in the mix. Now my menu will be a lot cleaner. If only we could have different colored folders though. But this is good enough. All about functionality anyhow.

Re: Nintendo Reveals New Super Mario Bros. 2 for 3DS

@Chrono

Think of it this way:

The "New" Super Mario Bros. series is essentially just Mario in modern day. If you noticed, you can wall jump, triple jump and even ground pound which were not in the past Super Mario Bros. games. That's how I always looked at it because it makes sense.

Re: MDK2 Dev Will Never Develop for Nintendo Again

komicturtle

Life goes on.

Never heard of them anyhow. Shame they are salty about it. Especially when eShop has made major improvements in regards to Nintendo's download platform that puts the Wii Shop to shame. Their loss if they want to be bitter and want people to miss out on their games.

Re: Talking Point: Is Wii U's Power Really That Important?

komicturtle

Someone did a full dissection recently of the WiiU's specs from what we know so far such as the Graphics Card it's using and the Power7 CPU.

Turns out.. WiiU indeed surpasses this gen after all.

This is what happens if you go out and piece things together, and not just go by rumors. Of course, I'll still wait for Nintendo for the official numbers just to really shut the haters up.

All I really care about is the possibilities in gameplay the WiiU will be bringing to the table.

Re: Developers: Wii U "Less Powerful than PS3 and 360"

komicturtle

Ridiculous. In the words of Judge Judy, "If it doesn't make sense then its not true."

Contradictions and inconsistencies abound. Funny how devs who came forward about WiiU being more powerful than the current gen have been named but the ones that say otherwise choose not to...? Either they are stuck on older dev kits or this report is complete fabrication.
