Re: The Last Story Was Almost Left Untold In North America

luminalace

I just hope the games success made Nintendo America know they were wrong in passing on it. Nintendo should have just given the fans what they wanted instead of just looking at the money angle. While I know this can't always be the case, they owed it to North American Wii owners who supported the console.

Re: Nintendo Is Not Working On Fix For Wii U's Slow OS

luminalace

Exactly...everyone is missing point. There was a translation error and Nintendo had actually said they were working on a patch for Dragon Quest X. This does not mean they are/ aren't working on speeding up the menu. Considering the Wii was constantly updated to improve performance, I think it's a given that Nintendo will always try to improve the user experience on Wii U.

This is so silly because a translation error led to another negative piece about Nintendo.

We need some positive stuff for a change..it's like every week there is some bad news. NL How about you post how youtube is working again? You guys posted that Youtube stopped working...now that it's working again, we get no new article.

Re: Kojima Productions: We Aren't Thinking About Metal Gear Rising On Wii U

Konami & Kojima always have excuses for not making their games for Wii U. They also go on about how if they made a game they would use the consoles unique features but end up giving us nothing!

While I get really angry at Konami for their real lack of support for Nintendo home consoles since the days of the N64, it's up to Nintendo to get these games on their system.

Re: UK Press Pins Blame For Sandy Hook Massacre On Video Games

luminalace

Every time there is a massacre video games get blamed. The worst thing is that many of the recent mass shootings in America have been made by males under 40 which often means that these people own a video game console. Considering Call of Duty games sell in the millions, it's not uncommon for for people who won a console to also own a COD game.

When are these journalist going to realise that video games are now mainstream and that murderers owning a video game console is just coincidence!

Re: Hardware Review: Wii Mini

I don't get why people are complaining about the Wii Mini...no one is forcing you to buy one! I just hope that Nintendo continue to sell the traditional model alongside the Mini because I would always recommend that over this, even with the price difference!

Re: Street Fighter X Mega Man Is "A Bit Of A Mea Culpa"

luminalace

While an apology of sorts is always appreciated, it's the traditional console players that feel neglected and let down because of the absence of Megaman in the last few years. Accordingly a free to play PC game does very little to compensate say, a 3DS owner and Megaman fan like me who was waiting for the also free to play demo of Megaman Legends!

It's a testament to the games traditional fan base, that make many of us willing to pay for a console version of Street Fighter X Megaman!

Re: Nintendo Confirms It Is Possible To Transfer Network IDs To Another Wii U

@McHaggis

You were unlucky because when my Wii died, Nintendo transferred all my Wiiware and Virtual Console titles to the replacement Wii. If they could do that back in 2009 (for me), it's certainly no great revelation that Nintendo can do the same with Wii U in 2012 and beyond.

C'mon Nintendo there are some things that really should have been accomplished with Wii U. While I'm glad Nintendo doesn't copy every feature of their competitors willy nilly, a unified account system really should have been standard on the Wii U!

Re: Petition Started To Get Dark Souls II On The Wii U

luminalace

I signed. This is the perfect opportunity for Namco and From Software to find a new audience for their game. Considering the way Zombie U turned out, Dark Souls sounds like a great match for the Wii U.

I think it's also up to Nintendo to actively pursue 3rd party games that are also coming to PS3 and Xbox 360!

Re: GoldenEye 007 Wii Dev Suffers Major Job Losses

luminalace

This is really sad! Eurocom have been great Nintendo supporters and always made good use of the hardware. I really hope we will see at least 1 Wii U game from them in the future!
@ doctor_doak - You make it sound like developers have a huge list of choices to who can publish their games. I think most developers are struggling for work and will take a contract wherever they can!

Re: Analyst Believes Nintendo Shouldn't Compete With Sony And Microsoft

luminalace

Honestly this kind of thing makes me mad!

Nintendo already march to the beat of their own drum and aren't satisfied competing with Sony & MS for the existing video game market. In fact they want way more than that! Nintendo want everybody who doesn't already play video games to join in and with their proven track record of innovation, seem to have a much better chance of doing that than the other two console manufacturers!

Might I add, I love Nintendo for their games and the only thing I want from them is to foster better relations with 3rd parties so in addition to their Top class software, we get as much games that are all the rage on competing consoles. While it's early days yet, Nintendo appear to be exactly that with the Wii U!

Re: Resident Evil Revelations Jumping Ship To PS3?

luminalace

I am happy that PS3 owners will get to play a great Resident Evil game that I feel was sadly overlooked by many on 3DS! I wouldn't buy the game again on Wii U and despite the average reviews, I am secretly pining for an updated version of Resident Evil 6 for the Wii U!

Re: Guide: Using USB Storage with the Wii U

luminalace

I am still trying to decide what size HDD I want for my Wii U! I also want one that is glossy and will look right at home next to my soon to be mine Black Wii U! I really doubt if I will need more than 1TB yet I'm still contemplating a 2TB one just to future proof myself completely!
