Re: Video: More 1-2-Switch Mini-Games Shown Off In New Series Of Trailers

starman292

Hmm...I've got my switch preordered and zelda but I'm still deciding between getting this or bomberman for a launch multiplayer game :/ oh yeah and keep in mind people this was the Japanese trailer lol there will be some cultural differences in the advertising lol. I don't see how the baby one will work in English though lol that was a pretty poor decision.

Re: Tatsumi Kimishima Outlines His Nintendo Targets, Laying the Groundwork for a Successor

People who think the switch is selling badly obviously aren't well informed lol. It's already hard to get a preorder in America and in the UK it's doing pretty well too. Put it this way I have a friend who has a business selling video games/consoles and he was only allowed 2 switches max. Even then that was after Nintendo released another batch of consoles. Before that none of his suppliers could even let him have one lol. That NEVER happened with the Wii U and I haven't seen hype like this happen since the Wii and original DS.

Re: Fire Emblem Heroes Starts Strongly in Japan as Nintendo's Share Value Soars

I'm glad, it's a really great game. I love the art style, the controls work great and it's very generous with orbs. Put it this way, you earn 1 orb for each story mode you finish and it's 5 orbs for your first summon (gets less the more summons you do at once). Final fantasy brave exvius gives you up to 50 lapis per story mission (but the 50 is split up into mini goals) and you get one summon a day for 250 lapis (normally 500). Both games give you occasional bonuses in extra orbs/lapis/summoning tickets. I Love both games but I think Nintendo could do really well with this if more people try it out.

Re: Fire Emblem Heroes Microtransaction Prices and Early Impressions Emerge

starman292

I enjoy final fantasy brave exvius and this looks similar so that's good. To those complaining I have a shed load of top tier characters and I've only ever spent about £10 in 6 months of frequent use. I would definitely say I've had my money's worth lol. As long as you can earn orbs with skill and they do events occasionally where you can earn stuff then it will be great!

Re: The Legend of Zelda: Breath Of The Wild Will Not Feature HD Rumble

@impurekind
I shall have a look, but surely programming the feeling of an actual object bouncing around has to be more complicated than buzzes at certain reactions? I'm not a programmer so I can't really talk much on the matter. But I just think if you give Nintendo new technology and tell them to use it in a game they have already pretty much made. They're just not going to be able to do it in a short time frame. I'm not saying that HD rumble wouldn't have been great. I just think it would definitely have caused another delay and Nintendo chose the lesser evil by keeping both sides happy and playing it safe.

I am really looking forward to seeing how they will use it in splatoon and Mario though! Does anyone know if it's going to be used in Mario kart 10 deluxe? I doubt it but I would of thought it would be easier to do it in that than an open world Zelda game.

Re: The Legend of Zelda: Breath Of The Wild Will Not Feature HD Rumble

@impurekind
In all fairness including rumble isn't a tiny step, particularly if it's not standard rumble. You have to write into the game where the rumble will be included etc.
Here's 2 reasons why I think Nintendo probably didn't include it.

1. Another delay having to write rumble into the game.
2. It's MAIN selling point for most people is portability, you add rumble and that will kill the battery life.

I think 1 was probably the main reason and not leaving Wii u owners butt hurt (it was supposed to be out on Wii u YEARS ago). Unlike Twilight Princess where the GameCube had already had its own Zelda exclusive, breath of the wild really belongs to the Wii U. So IMO I'm just happy it's not a direct port and they bumped up the graphics a bit. It does mean that the switch's Zelda game is probably yet to come. When it does come I'm sure they will take advantage of everything the console offers. Are those fair comments?

Re: Pre-Order Puyo Puyo Tetris, Get Some Fancy Keychains

starman292

Yeah I love Tetris and puyo pop so I'll definitely be looking out for this if it comes to the UK. On the subject of pricing I think £30 is about right for this. But I need more info as it could be worth more if theres lots to do. I play Tetris on 3DS loads with my wife so if the multiplayer is good then it will be great fun on switch.

Re: Nintendo Switch Won't Have Miiverse Or StreetPass

starman292

Interesting wording, we won't be using Miiverse... Possible new Nintendo account related network? If they are getting rid of miis then that would make a lot of sense really?

On a side note I do hope they create something similar because I don't want to be using Twitter or Facebook to post gaming stuff. It's one of the things I hate about the ps4 share button. Miiverse appealed to me because you were sharing information and fun stuff with like-minded people. Most people on your regular social network don't want to be spammed with gaming screenshots etc.

Re: Yooka-Laylee's Wii U Cancellation is Only Due to Technical Challenges, Not the System's Woes

starman292

Pshh that's annoying. I think we should get something as a bonus for this really. There are people out there that will have to buy a new console or get a refund which must suck. Depending on cost I'll probably get a physical copy for my ps4, or possibly a switch version if it's announced. The toybox was great fun so I'm not cancelling over this, but at the same time it needed to be addressed much better than this. Particularly as the core fans are probably mostly nintendo gamers.

Re: Poll: The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild - Share Your Thoughts on the Latest Footage

starman292

What is up with the constant bickering about nintendo characters :/ I think characters should just be left as they are. I am a male who would never want someone like Samus Aran to be male. It's a she and she should stay a she, that's that. Link is a guy and should stay that way, same with Mario, Peach etc. Would I be against them using a different protagonist in a zelda game? No it wouldn't bother me as long as it is a proper character! I hate the idea of a solid character being turned into a shell. That is fine for games like animal crossing or pokemon but not everything needs to do that. I like having my own character (for example in pokemon) but at the same time I loved being a kid and playing as Ash in pokemon yellow (or red etc but to me it was ash). People some times need to stop focusing on everything trying to fit them and enjoy games for what they are.

Re: The Man Behind One Of YouTube's Most Famous Characters Talks Nintendo NX

starman292

One if the things I noticed is that he said 'plugs into the console ' meaning that possibly the controller/mobile part of NX is probably not where most of the hardware is at. Secondly it made me think what if each game came with a cartridge (as is rumoured) AND a disk. So the disk is for the home console experience and the cartridge allows the controller/mobile part to save data and take a part of the game with you. So they could port a disk version for easier development for third parties and optionally have a secondary version with portability for those who want to go the extra mile.

Re: Axiom Verge Dev Tom Happ Opens Up About The Challenge Of Raising A Son With Special Needs

starman292

He does really well as a parent to cope. I'm fortunate because I was born with jaundice among other stuff but because it was sorted properly I'll never have to experience what he is going through. That must suck so bad to know that someone did something that irreversible to your child. I wish him all the best and seeing as I have been meaning to take a look at axiom verge, now would be a good time lol.

Re: Pokémon GO Cyclists Aren't Thrilled About Being Penalised By Speed Limit

starman292

I think 20mph would be fine, particularly as it would mean my bus ride to work would be much more productive lmao. But no in all honesty those saying things like people should just walk forget 2 major things. 1. Every single main series pokemon game has used bikes, including the later on games which had the mach bike (bet that did more than 10mph). 2. Not everyone has the time and or health to walk for miles and miles. Particularly those with walking disabilities may find it much easier to go around on a bike (especially if it's electric powered etc and they tend to be faster than 10mph). It's not like you lose signal going faster so really there is no major reason not to up it slightly for the more speedy bike riders if they just want to be able to hatch eggs faster.

Re: Nintendo Outlines a Fresh Approach to Storytelling in The Legend of Zelda: Breath Of The Wild

starman292

I think by non story driven it means you aren't constantly going to be prompted to go and do an objective. I think it will be similar to most mmo where you can choose when you want to continue the story. But I think there will be a decent story line as anouma said when asked if there will be lots of character and towns etc in the game 'of course there is it's a Zelda game' lol.

Re: Talking Point: Where Does The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild Fit Into the Zelda Timeline?

starman292

Between skyward sword and minish cap? Like someone mentioned the technology does look very similar to what was seen in skyward sword. Not to mention the fact impa was in it. Plus if I remember correctly didn't the sword have to be repaired in the minish cap(that is if the master sword and four sword are somehow related)? It would however mean there was a HUGE time gap between skyward and breath of the wild and again it doesn't answer the koroks. Unless to get really weird, what if the koroks became the kokiri and then when the great sea needed land became koroks again... nah lol

Re: Random: EA Executive is as Non-Committal to NX as Possible, PR Assistant Approves

starman292

The only EA game I want is mass effect and in all fairness I have a ps4 for that if need be. Otherwise I couldn't care less about EA! Unfortunately a lot of people find their repetitive, rushed, dlc ridden crap fun. So yes, without them Nintendo will lose money, which obviously is a shame. The only PS4 EA game I've bothered with was star wars battlefront which I have played for approximately... 2 hours since I bought it. As beautiful as it looks uncharted 4 and ratchet and clank look better and they are actually fun lol.

Re: The Legend of Zelda Wii U Has Been Pushed Back to 2017, Will Release On NX As Well

starman292

@View92612

Ps4 is a decent console (better than xbone anyway) but it is definitely not kid friendly. You will struggle to find a good amount of games under 15 rated. The most annoying thing about it is its lack of being able to play psone and ps2 classics.(although they slowly are starting to bring ps2 reboots) You can't play ps3 games either (besides using playstation streaming service) so your library is very limited in that area. Ratchet and clank Is awesome though I will have to say that lol. But do some research before buying it as a console for kids
