Re: Hands On: The Future Of Gaming Is Cardboard, Thanks To Nintendo Labo

tanasten

I'm completely surprised and shocked, but in the best way possible. The ideas present there are future changing in so many wild ways, that my mind can't stop thinking and dreaming about it.

Uh, what a brilliant future this idea could have if Nintendo releases a software to create their own designs and code! What a brilliant idea to later are more tech and concepts. This is so great im so many ways, on both educational and inspiring ways...

Definitively, it's far from typical videogaming. They're bringing gaming to the real world. This is such a breaking idea! What more could be done in a few years if this is sucessful?

What a wonderful and unique minds are there at Nintendo! I'm so happy to have been living at this time in history! Thanks Nintendo!

Re: Review: Elliot Quest (Switch eShop)

tanasten

I remember that Nintendolife gave a better score and review in general to this game on WiiU. What went wrong with the Switch version?

I mean, game seems the same but with some extras, right?

About the game, I loved it on the WiiU and not getting it again, even that I was unable to finish the game because I got stuck/lost very advanced in the game.

I agree with the review that sometimes the game doesn't give you any kind of guide about where to go next, and the game gets too big at the end and it's pretty easy to get lost.

When you have to work and have a personal life... can be very complex. However, if you have time to play the game from start to end and got retentive enough, you'll love this game.

Re: Xenoblade Chronicles 2 Teaser Website Goes Live

tanasten

My dream is to play a Xenoblade game with a combat system similar to Zelda or Final Fantasy XV, more action oriented but with the monado thing and states.

I really think that the combat system is what holds the Xenoblade games from being popular and accessible to everyone. Even moving into the moba like gameplay for combats would be better.

Re: The Nintendo Switch Update for NBA Playgrounds is Now Live

Observations on the Update:

·Resolution is close to 720P now on the Portable and 60 FSPstill. Looks sweet to me.
·Vibration issue is fixed. Now it's less agressive.
·Online Play is being good to me. Had a few laggy games but ey, P2P games are always dependent on connetion quality.
·Gameplay has been tweaked a lot. Now is a bit more equilibrated and strategic to me. Have to familiarize with it to say if it's better or not.
·Tournaments looks more equilibrated now.

So far, I think it's a good update and still, one of the biggest arcade/sports games on the Switch. Still being awesome for local multiplayer.

Re: Review: Ultra Street Fighter II: The Final Challengers (Switch)

tanasten

This game clearly makes a difference when talking about Personal Value vs Media Value.

Really, as someone who has lived the 90's and loved SFII World Warrior, this is a gem to relive. But I must agree that this game is out of standards and price seems too high even for me.

So I understand that for many people this game is out of place and too expensive. However, being able to relive this gem in this era with online is great.

In any case, I can't understand how Capcom brought such an amazing SF IV 3D Edition early to the 3DS and they're bringing this to the Switch. Really, they're losing the oportunity there.

Re: Editorial: Pricing Blunders Have Distorted The Narrative Around Nintendo Switch

tanasten

"Nintendo finds itself in a weird position by launching new hardware halfway the other company's console generation. Doesn't mean Switch isn't worth the money."

You're right @Snader, but dedicated gamers like comparison at the extreme level. And you know what? Switch is noticeably less powerful, has a ridiculous internal 32GB memory, people doubts it will get the big IPs and if they get any, will look far worse, and with that panorama, it's far expensive!

OK, the system is a portable and has Wii-like controllers, but many gamers may have not care about these features, because we are in an era that friends meet on the PlayStation to play games instead of meeting into the park.

EDIT: I can't see a great launch for the Switch. Even lots of fans who bought the WiiU aren't interested in getting the Switch at launch. This can become the biggest flop of Nintendo ever. The only solution I can see is to release an Switch Home Edition for 150$.

Re: Talking Point: Considering the Paid Online Service for the Nintendo Switch

tanasten

"Here common voice chat and a robust party system will be the norm for Nintendo" -> A voice chat having to use a mobile is the most wrong thing ever.

How you'll mix the sound of the game and the voice chat? -> You can't
You can't have to headsets (one for the game and one for the voice chat).
You have be dependent of a compatible mobile, with all the issues there: battery, calls, whatsapps, emails notificacions... This is is WRONG, and I'm neither getting a Switch of paying online for Nintendo while these issues are there.

Note: This one month VC Games is just a bad joke? I'm playing lots of Rocket League and other awesome and big games free thanks to the PSPLUS.

Nintendo has done terrible with the price of the system an these two details, and got lots of people out from getting an Switch, even Nintendo fans like me.

Re: Editorial: Cheer Up, There Are Some Exciting Games on the Way

tanasten

Those are not great games to look forward. Some of them are, of course, Xenoblade and Zelda, yoshi is cute too, and maybe Devil's Third. Star Fox experiment look meh like Command did time ago, and there's nothing more to care for WiiU.

I got PS4 and I know what to expect on the future: Shenmue III, Final Fantasy VII remake, Final Fantasy XV, Kingdom Hearts III, Horizon, Last Guardian, Street Fighter V, Dragon Quest Heroes, One Piece Pirate Warriors, Tales of Berseria... even Uncharted looks awesome. But these are not the only ones... there are tens of great games coming to that system.

Nintendo give us nothing to look forward compared to that list of games. And I hope that Nintendo reall y has many games for WiiU in development, because if they left the WiiU with nothing more to come, this will be the end of the company.

Time ago, they talked to the investors that it was the moment for them to build loyalty with their players. How are they going to do that? The only great thing that made me love more Nintendo lately has been Splatoon. We need more games, we need to keep great franchises coming back from time to time (in the expected way, not the Federation fiasco), but we also need new things!

I must add, that I seriously belieg that the strategy of showing only games that are coming in the close months is a fail. People bought the PS4 on launch because they trusted on the company, they knew that the company will deliver with great games until the end of the gen like they did with Last of Us. That's why they are on the winning road.

Players over the world didn't cared of the WiiU because they knew that it was going to be another Wii, with gimmicks, underpowered and no third party support. Casual players that felt under the wii atraction went years ago to facebook and mobile, and are used now to free to plays. SO NINTENDO RELIES ONLY ON TRUE FANS. IF THEY FAIL TO GIVE US WHAT WE WANT, IF THEY DON'T DELIVER TO US, IF THEY LEFT US WITHOUT GREAT GAMES, THEY'RE DEAD, BECAUSE NO ONE WILL TRUST ON NINTENDO FOR THE NX.

Re: Matters Of Import: Fire Emblem (Sort Of) Exists On The Sony PlayStation

tanasten

@Damo @aaronsullivan I know the history and background. These guys we're unknow people that formed at Nintendo when they were hired for R&D1 to work under Gumpei Yokoi. They learned working at Nintendo and progressed in the company. Kazuo Kaga was asigned as a assistant after doing maps on Famicon Wars, and he got the honor to be the producer on the second game (which probably is on of the worst Fire Emblem games)

He followed being the Producer of the series until Thraccia 776 and he left Nintendo, to fund a their own company and try to get money from the PlayStation userbase ripping Fire Emblem, which was not the result of Kazuo's work only, but many other people at Nintendo!

@Tsurii897 these cases are different. they going after games that are no more being developed. They're going after an style of game, not ripping the original game like Tear Ring Saga did. Even the original name Emblem Saga was a clear rip off.

Re: Review: Ice Cream Surfer (Wii U eShop)

tanasten

I'm liking the game. For me it's not as bad as put into the review. I'm having fun with it. Of course, is not great and even can't compare with Konami classics (so many lessons to learn from these...), however, for casual gaming the game is not that bad.

Re: Review: Wii Sports Club: Baseball + Boxing (Wii U eShop)

tanasten

Nintendo really loved the Wii Sports. They play worse than the originals... and the online sucks. They shold be very embarrased with this and fix these games ASAP. The IP was strong enough and look at huw much they lasted to put the Club to the 5 original games and they all play far worse... it's incredible.

Than God I still own the original games...
Please watch the profanity — TBD

Re: Soapbox: Nintendo Soundtracks - Where Are They?

tanasten

They should have a music channel on their consoles, with a shared account between WiiU and 3DS, and then sell all their music and third parties music. I would buy almost every soundtrack they release. I heard their music almost daily on my workplace.

Edit: the shared should include CV games and more of course...

Re: Talking Point: Nintendo's 3DS and Wii U Strategies Face Rather Different Challenges

tanasten

Nintendo need to boost game production, and they have a lot of improve margin on the WiiU software, from OS to games, being open to other OS and apps.

WiiU can't be only a gaming machine where you can't neither navigate throught the web due to flash incompatibilities or it's not good that we can't use google docs. Makes no sense at what type of market was Nintendo trying to catter (the tablet market)

Re: Nintendo Left Online Out Of Super Mario 3D World To Deliver The "NES" Experience

tanasten

"IT'S POSSIBLE TO HAVE BOTH"

"NOT EVERYONE CAN PLAY LOCALLY. IT'S POSSIBLE TO HAVE BOTH WITHOUT TAKING AWAY FROM THE EXPERIENCE."

Agree.

This is just out of place. Where living in a society connected 24/7 via mobile phone; we're all the day exchanging videos, music and whatever feeling on our minds. We do not have that much time to meet people everyday, in fact, we meet in family few times in a year. Only you're a father or a mother with childs at home you'll be playing together... and that's why Nintendo is great to them, but not rest of the people.

They abandoned everyone with the DS and the Wii, not continuing the legacy without hardware revisions and continue giving content that the people likes from yours products. The model of 5 years console is obsolete and leaving your 100 hundred million families abandoned is never a good idea. And now they have to deal with the consequences...
