Re: IGN Founder Offers Hint At One Of The Rumoured Wii U Ports Coming To Switch

patbacknitro18

@Alztru Well the thing is Zombie U had an absolutely terrible run. Zombie U was a fantastic game, but sadly the WiiU sales weren't. They did, however, port Zombie U to other consoles later.....but it ended being a horrendous port that ruined the game's reputation outside of the WiiU. So sadly anyone who knows the game will most likley be thinking of the terrible port on other consoles.

This was already known. Last year the leaker King Zell leaked a TON of correct information, infact the leaker had leaked several Nintendo directs 100% correctly. All except for an early one last year, where 2 games he announced were not in the direct, despite everything else being accurate. 1 was a port of the Metroid Prime Trilogy collection, and the other was a port of Pikmin 3.

@JR150 Actually Metroid Prime 4 has a reason for it. The game completely scrapped development and restarted. So as of right now, it has only had 9 months of development since its restart. So it has an excuse of having nothing to show. Bayonetta 3 has no excuse for not being able to show 1 Flippin screenshot of the game. Especially since every time the game is mention, this guy says everything is coming along perfectly.

Re: Hideki Kamiya Knows People Are Worried About Bayonetta 3, Says Development Is Going "Very Smoothly"

@Grumblevolcano Nope. Microsoft had their chance for new Bayonetta games, and they refused. Platinum games were in desperate need of someone to help fund Bayonetta 2, they went around asking every major developer around. Everyone turned them down, including Sony and Microsoft. And to their surprise one of their last ditch efforts, a company they honestly thought wouldn't fund the game due to its extremely mature content, Nintendo agreed to not only fund the game, but to provide resources for it wherever necessary. Nintendo single handily saved the Bayonetta series while everyone else shot it down. And that's why Bayonetta is mostly a Nintendo exclusive series now. With the exception of Bayonetta 1 being ported to other consoles.

Seriously the man has been saying the same exact thing for 2 years straight. For the love of god show us a screenshot, ONE SCREENSHOT of anything in Bayonetta 3 and I can wait patiently. It could literally be a picture of the ground and I would be 100% satisfied. Just show us the game actually exists. At this point, I'll have completed my hunt for Bigfoot before we even get a look at the game.

@Ventilator They didn't, but they wanted to provide players with such tools that allowed them such immense freedom in experimentation. Just like how with Super Mario Odyssey they were aware at how the gameplay would allow players to perform such insane tricks, yet instead of toning down the controls they instead decided to reward players for reaching out of the way areas, via these crazy tricks, with coins and such. Rewarding the players for exploring those areas, and encouraging the speedrunning community.

Re: Hideki Kamiya Says Bayonetta 3 Development Is "Going Really Well"

patbacknitro18

True,but once a game has 3+ years in development asking for a screenshot, atleast, isnt too much to ask for. Its definitely not ideal to announce a game before works even started on it, but in MP4's defense that game was handled poorly by Bandai Namco. Had the game been handled properly the first time around, then the early reveal wouldnt have been an issue.

Re: Hideki Kamiya Says Bayonetta 3 Development Is "Going Really Well"

patbacknitro18

@BenAV I agree in being patient for a games release, but if 3 years in development and you havent shown a single image from your game, you can ynderstand why people may get antsy. Its like the Pikmin 4 situation. Miyamoto personally confirmed its development years ago, like around 2016, and since then we have seen absolutely nothing from the game. I can be patient for its release, but for the love of god just show something to atleast give us proof the game is actually coming along. It wouldnt hurt Bayonetta 3 to show 1 ingame screen shot to prove the games coming along nicely.

Re: Super Kirby Clash Has Been Downloaded More Than Four Million Times

patbacknitro18

@Silly_G Well thats the thing with F2P games, you just gotta have enough self control not to fork over for microtransactions. Unless they offer the full game at a certain pay goal, it's not worth forking over the money. That being said though, it would be nice to see a $40 physical release. I don't think the single player alone has enough content worth $40, the price of a 3ds game kirby game, but with its multiplayer missions i'd argue its definitley worth $40, $60 is way too much though.

Re: Calm Yourselves, Splatoon 3 Wasn't Just Teased By Nintendo After All

patbacknitro18

@RiasGremory no no no, im going to need the actual source of what youre saying. Not just, "Oh some article somewhere said it" no i need factual proof because what you just said sounds like a load of bull. Especially since you used BOTW as a point of reference, yet since BOTWs delay we have seen Fire Emblem 3 Houses delayed, Yoshis Crafted World delayed, Metroid Prime 4 scrapped 2 years of progress and restarted development, and just recently Animal Crossing New Horizons was delayed with the reason given is that they put their team members personal lives over rushing a game. Which completely contradicts your ideology that Nintendo would rush BOTW 2 to meet a 2020 deadline, putting strain on the teams personal life, just to meet your unrealistic expectations. So please by all means show me the article where nintendo said they'd no longer be delaying games or taking their time making them, because it sure sounds like the exact opposite of what theyve been doing recently.

Re: Calm Yourselves, Splatoon 3 Wasn't Just Teased By Nintendo After All

patbacknitro18

@OorWullie Um no, Aonuma did not. Aonuma said that they were thinking about what they could do for the next Zelda game, WHILE they were developing the DLC for the first game. And doing the DLC helped them come up with ideas they could use for the sequel. They didn't begin actually developing the next Zelda title until AFTER the DLC had wrapped up, that is when they began work on the sequel. And considering that they just recently opened job positions for the game, I would not put my money on a 2020 release in any way. It's a dream that will disappoint many, hell I doubt we will even get a new trailer by next year. And even if we do, it would definitely not be a gameplay trailer. Expect a 2021 release, thats honestly a far more realistic time frame.

Re: Calm Yourselves, Splatoon 3 Wasn't Just Teased By Nintendo After All

patbacknitro18

@RiasGremory Breath of the Wild had a 2015 release date, it was delayed to 2016, then they once again delayed it to 2017, missing its deadlind not once, but twice. Fire Emblem 3 Houses had a 2017 release date, before silently being delayed to 2019. Yoshis crafted World was delayed a year. Animal crossing New Horizons was delayes a year. Metroid Prime 4 completely scrapped development. Nintendo has a history of not meeting deadlines, especially when a product needs more work. BOTW 2 doesnt even have a set release date, and its still hiring dev members. The game will not be out next year, in absolutely no possible way will it be finished. By next year. A very late 2021 release is possible, but no way will 2020 see its release.

Re: Calm Yourselves, Splatoon 3 Wasn't Just Teased By Nintendo After All

@Spoony_TechTrue but with Splatoon 2 they reused a butt ton of assets from Splatoon 1. It's not the the game isn't complicated to make, but that 2 was much easier to make with Splatoon 1 as the foundation. Especially since most of the content of 2 was added post-release. But with all that in mind, you must also consider the mindset Nintendo was in at the time. They wanted Splatoon on the Switch, but instead of doing a Deluxe port, they wanted to make a brand new entry, similar to Mario Maker 2 on Switch. So now that Splatoon is on the Switch, and still has a massive playerbase, what gives them incentive to make a 3rd entry on te same console? It's like how Nintendo hasn't made a new Mario Kart on Switch due to how massively well MK8 Deluxe is selling on the system. No reason to toss it away just yet.

Re: Calm Yourselves, Splatoon 3 Wasn't Just Teased By Nintendo After All

patbacknitro18

@Spoony_Tech But that begs the question, what if Animal Crossing New Horizons is going to be getting future updates with new content? That, mixed with the ongoing balance updates for Splatoon 2 would keep them busy for a while. Just like how the BOTW team was busy with the BOTW DLC after the game launched rather than already planning out the second game (Since we know for a fact BOTW 2 didn't start development till after the DLC was finished, due to the fact that they had so many ideas during the DLC development that they decided to save most of them for a sequel) Now we can assume Animal Crossing on Switch won't have content updates every now and then......buuuut looking at the history of Nintendo games on Switch thus far, I think its safe to assume Animal Crossing will be getting some nifty updates. Not to mention New Leaf did end up getting a neat content update years after its release, so the Splatoon team looks a bit busy in the near future.

Re: Calm Yourselves, Splatoon 3 Wasn't Just Teased By Nintendo After All

patbacknitro18

@rjejr We are not getting BOTW 2 in 2020, that is an undeniable fact. They are still hiring people for the game, all they had was a cinematic teaser. Breath of the Wild 1 was revealed with a cinematic teaser, and that game took 3 years after its teaser to be finished. And don't even get me started on MP4, that game is going to come out way after BOTW 2. Its like people forgot that they COMPLETLEY scrapped development and started over earlier this year. We are not going to be seeing Metroid Prime 4 any time soon, and we'll be lucky if we even get a trailer by 2021.

Re: CD Projekt Signs New Deal With The Witcher Author Andrzej Sapkowski

patbacknitro18

@Transmutation Again you are picking and choosing what characters your logic applies to, completely ignoring the context of Gokus situation. Maybe you don't know, but Dragonball Heroes is non-canon. As in Toriyama, the series creator, has nothing to do with the game series. Infact funny enough atleast the Witcher games ADAPTS the books Dragonball Heroes adapts nothing from the manga or anime, and instead has its own universe, its own story, new unique characters and plot lines, and a Goku thats exclusive to the games as he is a part of its unique story. Dragonball Heroes is FARTHER away from the manga, than the Witcher games are to the Books. So if anything, Goku applies far more to your logic than Geralt does.

Re: CD Projekt Signs New Deal With The Witcher Author Andrzej Sapkowski

patbacknitro18

@Transmutation It's not that I care for Geralt getting in Smash, all I said was that if he did get in Smash then by that logic Goku would also be allowed to get in Smash. That's when I was told Geralt was a completely different situation, which is not accurate at all. Also you keep bringing up the author, yet you forget the reasons the author wants to keep the games seperate is because he hates them. He doesn't want his book series to be tied to the game series, so his only reason of seperating them is purely out of spite. And again, the situation of Dracula and Geralt ARE different beause of the reasons I stated. And we can agree to disagree on the chance of Geralt getting into Smash. But there is no denying the absolute, 100% fact, that if Geralt got into Smash then Goku would be eligable too. As a matter of fact your Dracula argument even proves that point furthur since if you're saying Dracula can get in despite originating outside of video games, then that straight up applies to Goku as well. You can't just pick and choose what characters can be allowed by your logic.

Re: CD Projekt Signs New Deal With The Witcher Author Andrzej Sapkowski

patbacknitro18

@Transmutation Except that Castlevenias Dracula is nothing like his original incarnations, such as Vlad the Impaler. Which didn't originate from a book, Vlad was a real person who inspired the Dracula myth which later had book adaptations. Despite this in the Castlevania Games, Dracula exists as his own separate person, a new character with no relations to the pre-existing ones. He is a vampire, but not one associated with the actual Dracula. That's why Dracula works in Smash, because its based off of a creature and not an established character from other fiction. Similar to how Smash also introduces the Wolf Man, being based on the werewolf creature type. In fact to further prove this, look at The Creature and Fleaman. Obviously they are supposed to be Frankenstein and Igor, yet those are both characters who specifically come from the books. And there really isn't a creature archetype to place them under. So to bypass this, they are simply called The Creature and Fleaman to make them the astlevenia exclusive characters, and not associated with the original monsters. Geralt would not work the same as he is attached to the Geralt from the books. The games are called an "Adaptation" of the books for a reason. No matter how different they are, the share the same series name and the same characters. You couldn't bypass Geralt's origin as they could with Frankenstein because Geralt from the games is adapted from the books, its made very clear.

Re: CD Projekt Signs New Deal With The Witcher Author Andrzej Sapkowski

@Entrr_username What are you talking about, Dragonball Heroes is an arcade game. Infact Dragonball Heroes has even seen a console port in the form of Super Dragonball Heroes, which came out on the Switch. It is a video game in every possible definition of a video game. And Xeno Goku is a seperate version of Goku, exclusive to the arcade and Switch games. If geralt can get in for his video games, then Xeno Goku 100% can because he's exclusive to the Dragonball Heroes GAME.

Re: CD Projekt Signs New Deal With The Witcher Author Andrzej Sapkowski

patbacknitro18

@Entrr_username Yes, its litteraly the same case. Youre saying Geralt gets a pass because theyd use the game version of him, then Xeno Goku would also get a pass. And yes Xeno Goku is not like his anime counterparts. He exsists purely for thr story of Dragonball Heroes, which exsists within its own universe away from the continuity of the manga or anime.
