Re: Capcom Claims Its New Panta Rhei Game Engine Can Be Adapted To Any System

thanos316

good to hear that this engine could be adapted to any system. but does that mean that capcom has a game in development for the wii u. this is wii u 2nd year on the market. lets hope it picks up some steam in usa. this news doesn't make me exited. i want to hear definite titles thats in development now or coming out soon for the wii u. the 3ds is doing fine so thats all good.

Re: A Third-Party "Secret Developer" Gives an Inside Story of Working on Wii U

thanos316

this isn't five years ago. nintendo knew that they had to come out with something much better than the wii was at the time. this is something that they are a little nieve about. what sold today won't necessarily sell tomorrow. i love the wii but im not sold on the wii u. the best controller ive ever played with is the wii mote and nunchuck. nintendo for the wii u needed to add more power for devs and still be creative. they got one part right but not the power part. im sure the wii u kicks out some good graphics but some devs wants the power to do anything..

Re: Nintendo Dominates Festive Hardware Charts in Japan

thanos316

Japan is the place where the ds got a good run going and never looked back. if the wii u can pick up steam in japan and then create a good run over here in north america then the wii u will be in good shape. people are very hard on nintendo but if your hardware is selling no matter where then its a good thing. lets hope the wii u can get that same success here in the u.s.

Re: The Financial Post Thinks Wii U And 3DS Could Be The "Best Bets" This Christmas

thanos316

So people buy Nintendo systems to play Nintendo games. Well that may be half right. But right now they aren't much of those. Nintendo needs a killer app and it needs games.. the 3ds has games and the wii u needs it now. All I see on tv is just dance ads. Where are the mario ads. The ads with other 3rd party games that says buy me. Show me a call of duty ghost add with the wii u gamepad the focus and then have wii u show alongside it at the end. Now that is good marketing. . Sony got it right this time around. Sony has a good marketing push. Good feedback from devs. And they have games.

Re: Nintendo Shares Hit Three-Month High Ahead of Major Releases

thanos316

this is just the share holders talking right now. things can obviously change in a heart beat. shares also went up when word got out that nintendo might be making an android tablet. but its all about actual sales and money.. perception can help you for so long. show a real profit and everything is good.

Re: Soapbox: Super Mario 3D World's Playful Whimsy is Refreshing, But Faces a Vital Commercial Test

thanos316

I like how you mention PC rigs. But a desktop pc is known for web browsing and office documents more than for playing games. gaming pc's are intimidating i thing. too much talk about power and max graphics the ordinary person knows nothing about. the steam machine is in the right place. Its all about marketing. gotta get critics and people talking.the ps4 has momentum behind them right now. and then next it will be the xbox one. so mario will push up the hardware for the wii u. but it will take more to see how long success last for each system..

Re: Poll: As the PS4 Arrives, What Do You Think of the 'New Gen' Environment for Wii U?

thanos316

Its all about power. innovation. games. experience. advertising. good promotion. the wii u is suffering i think because of lack of games, advertising and not enough power for some devs... the wii u still has a chance. the smaller games and the game pad.. just one killer app can change the tide to wii u favor. lets just wait and see. i see the push for the 3ds but the wii u needs a great push. stop the waiting and talk. its time for action. and its long over due

Re: Feature: Why Nintendo Isn't Popular in Poland

thanos316

who cares if it isnt popular in poland. i just beat xenoblades.. yes finally. i know its been out for a while. but ive been without my wii for 9 months. i put many hours into that game. Xenoblades is one of the best games ive ever played..

Re: Nintendo Releases Handy Wii U Comparison Chart

thanos316

advertising is what nintendo needed to do. and then in the video game world you need good word of mouth. if your friend says hey this thing is great then you will more than likely give it a go. if a reviewer gives it positive feed back then your like okay yea imma check it out. then you gotta have games, games and games. you have to keep pushing the system. i mean nintendo has a lot of people saying the wii u is great and this and that, but where are the tv ads. when i see a video game ad for a game, i then see ps4 across the screen. ninty needs to get its name attached to a big name video game. spend some money in advertising and you will see a difference

Re: Poll: Is Nintendo's Wii U Advertising and Marketing Doing Enough?

thanos316

nintendo wii u needs marketing on tv. ive seen xbox one and ps4 ads. it also hurts nintendo when most of the big games are being delayed. xbox one and ps4 are coming out in the near future and the steam box is coming out early next year. so nintendo need some hard hitting games. mario games are all good but they need some big titles. star fox, zelda. im glad they are helping indie devs, cause that can help in a good relationship for bigger future games. ninty need to do a lot more. have an advertisement where its call of duty ghosts showing off the wii u actual gameplay , the game pad, and then at the end have nintendo's name plastered all over the screen..

Re: Soapbox: Nintendo Could Have Ruled The Micro-Console Market With Wii

thanos316

micro console market i think not.. nintendo has this habit of doing strange things. like now with the 2ds. the 3ds is selling like hotcakes so why disrupt it and confuse people with a 2ds. but a micro console makes no sense. nintendo just needed to make a powerful console. and better marketing in the early months and they would be in great shape with the wii u now

Re: Soapbox: Why Grand Theft Auto V Isn't For Me

thanos316

wait.. hold up. what an article to write. if you don't like the game then don't purchase it for yourself or your child. i respect your opinion but if i want to get this game then i will. im not boycotting anything of the sort. you sound like a fanboy when you put a pic of link in your article. if you want to play the game then play it and have lots of fun with it. play what ever game you like its your choice, its your money and its your time.

Re: Talking Point: Marketing Wii U to the Masses

thanos316

the wii u name sucks.. nintendo should have went with the revolution for the name but they stuck with the wii for brand recognition. ok so thats settled. no big games in a long time. ok they've had some good games come out but people want big games to justify a purchase. they should have pushed the tablet accesory much harder, get games out on it much sooner. its not until recently that more and more games are coming out just for the tablet. push the eshop more.. integrate it with the 3ds eshop. get more devs on your side, and make sure that they don't make crappy ports for your system, cause no one wins that way. word of mouth is also a big thing too... you just can't talk a big game and have no action. you have to push you system and make sure people knows it. what sold well last gen is not always gonna sell well now, so you gotta keep pushing out something new and fresh. i love nintendo. nintendo has me sold on the 3ds, but the wii u i'm not sold on just yet..

Re: Talking Point: With Calls for Nintendo to Follow the Crowd, It Faces a Dilemma

thanos316

if the wii u doesn't pick up by mid 2014 then ninty should rethink their strategy. maybe they should bring out a new console late 2015 if all looks bleak. the ps vita tv console is not much of a threat. everyone now is bringing out a console, trying different things to see what works best. ninty should never have announced the 2ds which won't get much response in a positive way. nintendo on its next console needs to do more action and less talking.. more games and less gaps in between.

Re: Atari Founder Nolan Bushnell Claims Nintendo "Could Be On The Path To Irrelevance"

thanos316

@Caryslan you noob the iphone is a phone first thing first. mobile games are the most $10.... the 3ds is an official gaming system. they bring out a new iphone like every 6 months. ds sold like hotcakes. the 3ds is picking up steam. oh yea mobile gaming is here to stay you may be right but the wii u has a tablet controller that attracts games also found on mobile devices and more.

Re: Talking Point: The Wii U May Be Playing Catch-Up With Some Developers, But Money Always Talks

thanos316

@Warruz i do agree that the gamepad is great for football games. i remember using the dreamcast gamepad and using the onscreen display to hide my play calling from my friend sitting next to me. its always those simple things that makes a game great. and as for publishers wanting to see more units out there then thats the wrong move in my mind. they slept on the first wii. so y make the same mistake now. if you make good games, and you have good advertisement then the units would move. but we shall see how things go in the fall for the different systems..

Re: Bethesda: The Time For Convincing Publishers And Developers To Support Wii U Is "Long Past"

thanos316

im sure nintendo came to some publishers and devs and was like this is what we are doing and this is what we aren't doing. devs left the nintendo last gen and started developing more for other platforms. why should nintendo consider people who hung them out to dry last gen and call their hardware not up to par. nintendo is focused on pushing out its titles. if bethesda or any other publishers or devs wants to get on board then they definitely can. but im sure when that happens they will just send out shovelware to the wii u.

Re: Wii U Name Isn't To Blame For Poor Sales, Says Reggie

thanos316

well the name wii u really sucks.they was trying to bank on the wii name. but the name wii was a bad name from the start. the revolution was definitely a better name that everyone was expecting. but poor sales are from the lack of games. the lack of a push in the early months.

Re: Reaction: Nintendo Surprises Us All With the 2DS and Wii U Price Cut

thanos316

a 2ds. at first when i heard this news i thought that it was an april fools joke. but i see that we are almost in september. this is a dumb move for nintendo. u have a 3ds. y not put more effort into securing its spot on the top. i love using the 3d on my 3ds, it stays on. well this will be a failure in my opinion

Re: Talking Point: The Wii U's Limited Hard Drive Space and Future Install Headaches

thanos316

when playing my wii i played all my games from off an external harddrive. the loading times weren't bad at all and all i access to all my games. im sure a lot of people today own external harddrives and to me it would easier to load games from there. but the wii u has a small hard drive which is not good if you want to install games. but to me this isn't ninty's biggest issue. and for the noob who said that the wii u is meant for nintendo games you must not really be a gamer..

Re: Talking Point: Gamescom Announcements Raise the Stakes for the Wii U and 3DS

thanos316

okay ninty needs to come out guns a blazing. they can't hold back right now. a price drop would be great right now. but the wind waker bundle is a right step. the ps4 and xbox one will be stiff competition but they will be doing fierce battle between each other. i don't see people having a ps4 and xbox one.. so maybe ninty can slip the wii u in there. the wii u can be a game changer.. lets see how it goes

Re: Wii U Research & Development Costs May "Undermine Profitability"

thanos316

nintendo has a table right there that they should be making small games for. im not saying bring out crap games. but draw consumers in with a game like angry birds - meaning something not too hard, fun and creative. all games don't have to be gigantic and awesome, some people just want simple fun sometimes. so nintendo took too long to get these games out. but i do applaud them for getting their act together now..

Re: Talking Point: Nintendo's Financial Results Tell a Tale of Two Systems and Bold Ambition

thanos316

well nintendo should have seen this coming. they seen this with the wii. i don't mean the bad sales, but i mean having to do the heavy lifting. they knew that they needed to come out strong with the wii u. the name should have been different from the wii but i guess they was banking on the name to carry over, to be familiar to consumers but it backfired. you can't just talk a good game, you must show it. nintendo had the whole summer to bring out an amazing game or two for the wii u but they decided to wait until the fall and early next year. they spreading their games out to maximize game sales, im guessing thats the plan. maybe a price drop might help, but the damage has been done. the wii u won't fail but it won't be a major seller like the wii was.

Re: First Impressions: Batman: Arkham Origins Blackgate

thanos316

if this game is great on the 3ds like how it is on other home consoles then i say bring it on. i haven't played this game before on home consoles so if it gets good reviews i will give it a try on my 3ds. the more the merrier. i just hope for a great game and not a watered down version

Re: Nintendo Stock Hits Its Highest Point in Two Years

thanos316

yea where is patcher at. im sure hes in hiding right now. maybe hes thinking up another gloom and doom theory for nintendo. maybe he should get fired for all his crappy opinions or guesses. wait hold up why don't they hire me as an analysts. let me look into my crystal ball. hmm. yes. i see. ninty will release a new console in 5 years time. whoaaaa.. wow... amazing..

Re: Satoru Iwata Aims for "Critical Mass" of Wii U Owners to Shift Perceptions

thanos316

@unrandomsam i don't want a 10 out of 10 game everytime. i just want to play some games thats out on other systems. i don't want half assed games being pushed my way. i loved xenoblades, wii sports, bond and other games for the wii.. just put out some games and i will buy. and what i mean about innovate is that the wii u should have been a system with many good games. but i don't know what nintendo was waiting for to release their games. i guess its all business.. cause if the wii u was selling like hot cakes they wouldn't need to be pushing out games each month now.

Re: Shigeru Miyamoto "Wanted to go to HD Sooner" With the Wii

thanos316

what does he mean he didn't know people would have taken to hd tv's like they did. that some good b.s. right there. this is nintendo.. they move at their own beat. the only reason they out here pushing now is because the wii u isn't taking off. but it just might take off... but please stop the bogus excuses... im too old for the catch phrases. give me some good games and i will purchase a wii u. or else imma just get a good gaming pc that i can upgrade every couple years and still be good. hey people don't bash me im a nintendo fan but im a gamer first. i just wanna play good games. is that so hard to ask for

Re: Satoru Iwata Aims for "Critical Mass" of Wii U Owners to Shift Perceptions

thanos316

ummm haven't we heard this story before.. like say a 100 other times these past months since e3.. just advertise the games. stop all the chattering.. get some games out there and then let the system speak for itself. would've could've should've really sucks to hear right now for a nintendo fan. i mean you had the wii, it wasn't a great leap in specs, but it had some good games.. so all that time you should have been pushing the wii u, i mean whos in charge of ur advertising department.. you can't just sit on ur laurels and wait. you got to innovate.

Re: Codemasters: F1 2013 Would Need To Be "A Very Different Game" To Run On Wii U

thanos316

why thank you code masters. thanks for your thoughtful insight. don't feed us bullpoopies. if you don't want to develop for the wii u just say so. cause i know you would probably release a game on the 3ds in no time. this video game business is some harsh crap. why can't devs just tell the truth and be done with it. just say the wii u isn't for your game and leave it at that.
