Re: Super Mario All-Stars 25th Anniversary is 50Hz Only

Good to see people agreeing. Boycott this 50hz turd.

Im not about to hit that 50hz switch for anything as I havent in gaming for over 16 years.

Any new nintendo product I get will be an american import from now on as I wont be supporting nintendo europe anymore.

Agree with Stardust whos a lucky american. Anyone who abides by these 50hz rules is helping them carry this on. Everyone should boycott this release. You cant defend 50hz anymore as times have changed.

Look forward to 3DS games at 50hz with VC if it goes beyond handhelds.

I made the mistake getting a european nintendo product with the WII and im never making that mistake again. My snes was modded to run 60hz and I didnt have an N64.

American 3DS beckons for me and an account with the american shop. Since nintendo of europe have been such and treat us like the casualist of gamers I have no intention of supporting them anymore.

Re: 3DS Development Could Cost Triple That of DS Software

N fanboys who buy Zelda and Mario games will ensure they make a profit which is lucky because they will face stiff competition from Apple its true. Games go on the store for far less money and some are at the level of retail games. look at GTA chinatown wars.

Its good that the 3DS has some decent developers on board.

I think nintendo optimised the games to run at near enough the same speed with borders. Probably too much hassle to reprogram a 50 hz image of a cartridge for them and I assume that the american ones wont be used because of licensing issues.

End of the day this is a niche market and they dont really care about europe anyway. How many of the mass market users even use Virtual Console or Wiiware or now the difference.

The kids will love it and not know the difference so they will make the projected sales targets. Im sure it will be in the top 10.

Id like to get this even though I have the 360 version. I loved the reflex controls so wouldnt even play this with a classic controller.

Only problem I have with it is no Killcam so its like a campers paradise.

Re: Reggie Wonders Where Metroid: Other M Sales Went Wrong

outrun2sp

I dont think that nintendo's first party titles can compete with the third party apps on other consoles let alone first.

Metroid Other M hasnt really put the gaming world on alert when there are so many great games that are coming out every month on HD consoles that can be played online and with DLC.

Also the fact that people can finish the game in 6 hours, well its hardly gonna please the hardcore audience either.

The game that could have turned it all around was Fatal Frame. To this day that is the scariest game ever made and the people in nintendo america had never heard of it. They have always felt in that mario, zelda etc is playing it safe. What a crime it wont come out.

Reggie Fils used to work at Pizza Hut and I think is running nintendo the same way. Not everyone wants to eat pizza even if you dress it up in a different way (as there are better alternatives )

James sorry if i seemed arsey. I trust your guys opinion thats all so was looking out for this review from you.

Ive ended up getting the 360 version in the end but that shouldnt offend anyone here as you guys are a multiplatform site.

Im still interested to see how it runs on Wii and Wii players should be glad to have the zombies in at last. I also love the control system for MW reflex.

Game boy version is easier to control. You dont need to hold down at the same time to pogo.

I think both versions are equal.

Great music for transylvania.

Re: Get Ready for KINECTaku!

outrun2sp

i could almost see kinnect failing till i heard about camera recognition with objects. That means HOTD type games can come out on it as you can use some kind of a tool with it.

Shame you guys cant review deadly premonition as its not a kinnect game.

Awesome as it is and like a breath of fresh air.

Re: Telltale's Back to the Future Not Coming to Wii

outrun2sp

Wii is in its final phase.

New Zelda will please the fanboys but games like Marvel vs Capcom 3, Cod black ops and various other big releases will either not come out on the machine or will be scaled down.

When games like that come out you can either play Mario again, Zelda again or the new metroid again with 10 hours playthrough to completion.

There are still great games to play on the wii and exclusives but I cant imagine these making the kind of profits that the developers have hoped for.

Re: Review: NBA Jam (Wii)

outrun2sp

Will be picking this one up for sure. Looks very good and nice to see an arcade style game.

Online gaming is good but I played games for 15 years before online was available so im used to it. The days of megadrive, snes, saturn, gamecube where no games were online so im totally accustomed to it still.

Re: This Christmas is Critical for Wii, Admits Iwata

outrun2sp

The Wii looks like its in its final phase.

While nintendo have one big release like Metroid other M that they can hype for months. Many other big games are coming out on 360 / PS3 at the same time. Literally a decent game every month instead of one game hyped for months. I know we live in the age of hype but thats how the market is now. The donkey Kong and Zelda games will be the same because good as they are there will be many games coming out on the high end consoles that you wont have to wait for.

The Wii is on a slow decline and by this time next year they will need to move on and create a sucessor if they still plan to stay in the console market. At the moment it looks like they are only interested in the handhelds.

Re: Metroid: Other M Struggles to Ignite UK Sales Charts

outrun2sp

People in this country are mainly interested in 360 / PS3.

Doesnt suprise me at all, Even as a WII owner there is nothing on the radar that interests me and you only have to look on the shelves at hmv, game to see the reality of the WII in europe.

Im looking forward to Raiden Fighter Aces, Deadly Premonition, Guwange, King of Fighters Skystage, King of fighters 02UM, Call of Duty Black Ops, Dead Rising too amongst other things. All due this quarter on 360.

I cant think of 7 great games that came out on WII this quarter or that will be and if its just Metroid Other M with its 12 hours to fill the void then thats not enough.

Its a nice machine but its quirky.

I got Gunblade and La Machineguns though good games although the colour is washed out.
