Re: Pachter: Expect a Wii U Price Cut Next Year

thanos316

price cut. the only way the wii u is seeing a price cut is if its not selling up to par. i don't see a price up happening. if only i could get that job, get up in the morning put on a suit and a smile and spin my crystal ball and see what crap to say. but at least hes not saying the wii u will fail, but wait im sure thats coming next week. every preview that i've see so far has on wii u games has been positive. so lets see how it goes

Re: Talking Point: Wii U and the Next Generation of Consoles

thanos316

we all know that the price has got to be right when it first hit store shelves. anything above $350 dollars wont sell, but the sweet spot is from $249-300 in my opinion. the wii u has got to bring it, i mean have all the bells and whistles. the online infrastucture has got to be solid, the third party games has got to be solid, and the first party is always solid for ninty. i really wanna hear devs during interviews say yes my game is coming for all systems including wii u. i also wanna see some fresh ideas. if the wii u can deliver on all of that then it will do just fine.

Re: More Tantalising Wii U Pricing Rumours Emerge Online

thanos316

249 sounds just right for the wii u. heck even 300 isn't bad for the system seeing that most poeple drop 200 and upwards for new cell phones that lasts for maybe 3 years the most. so lets hope they don't drop the bomb on us and charge us 600 for it. but i don't think ninty would go that high.

Re: New Super Mario Bros. 2 Will Cost £39.99 to Download

thanos316

price is a lil high for me. i thought making games downloadable would decrease the price of games. this is all about stopping piracy and protecting the bottom line. this has nothing to do with giving consumers the best deal. retail is all the same no matter what a company is selling.

Re: FIFA 13 Confirmed for Wii U

thanos316

Lets hope ea learned from their wii experiences. Traditional controls is the way.to go and no arcady crap either. Sim based or im sticking with oes no matter the man red or blue.

Re: Katsuya Eguchi: Wii U Design Philosophy is For Everyday Life

thanos316

some people looked at the wii and saw games where you had to flail your arms around and got the wrong idea about it. so many devs wasn't trying to get crazy with the motion controls when simplicity was always the way to go. so then they stop developing certain titles for the wii. the controls are there, im guessing people just need to see certain games that are upcoming say wii u also

Re: Michael Pachter Doubts 3DS XL's Powers of Revival

thanos316

where can i get a job like his. hmm to just speculate. does he even have to be right. maybe get it right like 60 percent of the time. hes like the video game speculation god cause his comments gets posted on every website. hmm instead of posting comments from patcher yall can post comments from indie developers on new developing titles or something else.. idk.

Re: Talking Point: Another Look at the News - 20th July

thanos316

hold up. don't ninty drop a console every 5 yrs or close to it. can't the classic controller for the wii play different types of games if devs map the game for it. wasn't the wii being called 2 gamescubes glued together. cut patcher some slack yea ok. we all knew that ninty was gonna come out with a new console sooner than later and that it would need to support hd.. and i bet if you give devs unlimited power they will still be belly aching about something. guess we will be stuck with websites talking about patcher and his predictions for a long time to come.. heres a prediction ninty will drop another console in 2017.. boom. u heard it here first

Re: Michael Pachter Admits That Wii U Pro Controller Comments Were an 'Educated Guess'

thanos316

pachter is silly. and for all these devs out there the wii many different controllers that you could use. um there is the wii mote and nunchuck, then there is the wavebird, then there is the classic controller. so ummm couldn't u just have ur game take advantage of one of these controllers. and please stop posting comments from patcher, is he like the god of video games that everyone posts his comments and is any of his predictions ever right.

Re: 3DS Sales Momentum in U.S. and Europe is 'Not so Good'

thanos316

the share holders. seems like all companies are always answering to the share holders. its all about making more money than the past year. if nintendo brought back the original nes and started selling it now and it makes more money than the wii then i think the share holders would be happy. but really the ds sold boat loads and has some great games on it and im sure the 3ds will do the same given some time. but i guess its all about that dollar bill and always will be. whos gonna take that leap of faith on the next big thing or will it always be money spent on the sure thing. there is a revolution coming and its gonna hit gamers hard.

Re: Talking Point: 3DS XL - Why Now?

thanos316

well i guess its ok to bring out the 3dsxl now. but i guess some people seen this coming a mile away. i guess ninty has become a lil predictable with their portable consoles. we al know that they will be more colors to come, that they will change around the hardware somehow. but if you wanna run out and buy that huge system then go right ahead.

Re: Reggie Fils-Aime: Fanbase Demands Are 'Insatiable'

thanos316

okay so reggie makes some good point, but come on man e3 wasn't that good for ninty. ubisoft showed everything we've seen before or heard of. ninty showed up some things the night before. the 3ds got 5 mins and then some more showing the next day. pikmin is cool, and mario is cool but people wanna be dazzled at e3. so we know smash bros is coming sometime next 2 yrs and zelda and metroid we really don't know. the thing is only ubisoft is hyping up the wii u and ea is somewhere and we wanna see a lil more. at e3 if they had showed us a lil more zelda clips then that would have been great and have everyone talking like last yr. talk can go so far, you gotta show a lil of your hand. make us salivate a lil, flash us a lil knee, and then take it away.. pc gaming is looking brighter each day ninty, microsoft and sony keeps playing around.

Re: Miyamoto: Nintendo Focused on Fun, Not Competition

thanos316

competiton is fun. golden eye was fun for the n64 and that was a great shooter. fps games are fun, but some are not. and not all sports games are fun either. i like to play a good fps once in a while. ninty needs to be careful at their stance on gaming. they missed the beat with the n64 vs ps generation and i feel that they are being a lil stubbron now. they are too much competition out there right now to be complacent. fun games are cool, but i want good creative different games. lets hope ninty gets this right

Re: Smash Bros. Wii U Wait Could Be Even Longer Than We Thought

thanos316

hmmm they should have been working on this game for wii u 2 years ago. if this doesn't come out in 2013 that would be just unacceptable. first im hearing news of other devs not making games for the wii u and now this. this is not looking good for the wii u no matter how much reggie tries to gloss over it.

Re: Talking Point: What Games Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue One

thanos316

Imma try to put some hours into xenoblades and also hopefully trine 2 for pc.. i just recently read some great reviews about trine and gonna give this game a walk around the block.. happy gaming this weekend to everyone and im glad this is gonna be a regular set topic each two week. Its always good to see what games people are playing and maybe try something new.

Re: Talking Point: Are E3 Conferences a Dying Breed?

thanos316

hmm maybe its just changing. maybe some companies won't rely on e3 so heavily as it once did in the past. well e3 this past year was disappointing for me for various reasons. companies want to rule the living room, while games just want that next big game. so i guess its a balancing act. im already making the move to pc gaming, its looking much cheaper going that route..

Re: Zelda Remakes Still Part of Nintendo's Quest

thanos316

A new zelda game for the wii u. Why just throw out a demo of zelda at e3 2011 and now 2012 is here your talking about remakes. Something new and fresh so the masses out there wont think that all nintendo systems are about are remakes..

Re: E3 2012: Our View of Nintendo's E3

thanos316

its hard to pick a winner. i guess nintendo won, but not by a long shot.. if these 3 console makes don't do something big soon, they can leave themselves open to an attack from apple, or maybe even google. nothing really blew my mind from ninty. so lets hope ninty clears things up by november..

Re: Talking Point: Reviewing Nintendo's E3 Press Conference

thanos316

i agree with hanks all 3 presentations weren't that good. i would have to say that nintendo's was a lil bit better but not by a big stretch. i guess they are no real leaps and bounds out there as yet. i've heard one developer say that with each new console its always the same product put out yr after yr. they isn't no real innovation. i wanted to see something explosive, but i didn't. the biggest applause from the crowd was for pikmin, and when the mushroom came into play in tekken.

Re: Talking Point: Reviewing Nintendo's E3 Press Conference

thanos316

hmm i don't know what to say about nintendo's press conference. but here i go, it started off good. but then they gave you a lil video montage of games that will come to the wii u. i saw mass effect 3 and some other games that i would have liked them to give more attention to. they showed some ubisoft games, but nothing we haven't seen before, and they showed us mario. thats all fine but i wanted to see something new, fresh, balls to the wall. but im sure they have more to show in the time wii u lands. also only a couple mins for 3ds, thats no good, they needed to show that off in a big way. luigi mansion looks cool, and so does the other 3ds games shown and im sure we will see more at the 3ds hour tomorrow. but i give the whole presentation a 6/10

Re: Feature: Why EA and Nintendo's Partnership Is Big News

thanos316

ea and nintendo partnering to develop ninty's online strategy is a good thing. ninty needs a good online structure when it comes to the wii u, no more friend codes and simplicity. i don't know about crossing over there ip's but i hope ea stop making crappy sports games for nintendo consoles, the first madden and fifa for wii was excellent, but it all went downhill after that. and so sad that the dreamcast died after 2 years, but those 2k sports games on the dreamcast was far better than anything ea was bringing out at that time. so i think the demise of the dreamcast had much more to do than having ea supporting it...

Re: Gearbox: "Wii U is a Powerful, Powerful Machine"

thanos316

ok im sure that the wii u is powerful, but im curious on what they can do with the hardware. the next xbox or ps wont come out for another 2 yrs maybe so i hope devs do something good with the wii u hardware. i feel that there is no reason for people to come out and say if its powerful than this or that other system, just talk about your game and the creative things your doing and that we will be seeing soon enough. i want good creative games, not the same old same..so lets hope this new game does a lot more than just being pretty..

Re: Review: F1 2011 (3DS)

thanos316

i got this game recently and just came on here to check out the review of this game. its kind of harsh to give it a 4. the speed in the game is crazy, the detail is great to me, i don't know what more you can expect from a racing game on the 3ds. you can tinker with the setup anyhow you like. okay maybe the AI in the game isnt that great, but in F1 racers rarely pull over and let another racer by unless they are told to do so. And i watch f1 and trust me they are many incidents on turn 1 the first lap of the race. but i would give this game an 8 for it being its first outing on the 3ds. and people shouldnt judge a game if they haven't played it for themselves..

Re: Feature: Launching a Console Without Mario

thanos316

launching a console with mario would help sales, but i feel this time around the wii u needs more variety. im not saying that anything is wrong with another mario game but most people will be looking for the other heavy hitters like cod, grand theft auto, or even a zelda game. if on day one you see grand theft auto coming to wii u that would create a lot of positive headlines. but ninty is smart and im sure something big will be shown at e3.

Re: FIFA 13 in Development for Wii U

thanos316

@madgear
pes is too realistic. well i do agree with you on that and thats a great thing about that game, the learning curve is high and even though you think you have mastered the game every now and then you will get your butt handed to you.

Re: FIFA 13 in Development for Wii U

thanos316

the first fifa game on the wii was great after that the rest of the fifa installments went downhill. pes just keeps getting stronger and stronger on the wii. but i do hope that fifa on the wii u is not some arcade crap like the last game. i still play pes.

Re: Xenoblade and Kid Icarus Missing from NPD's April Chart

thanos316

xenoblades is great game. shame it had to take so long for it to hit the wii console. this is the type of game that should have shown other devs what the wii was capable of early on. but im enjoying playing it now nonetheless, no dust on my wii yet.. and can't wait to get my hands on kid icarus for the 3ds, seems like a solid title..

Re: Rumour: Blockbuster UK Lists 25 Wii U Games

thanos316

well ign is a site with multiple consoles on it not like this one thats just dedicated to ninty and they just like nitpicking at nintendo consoles for some reason over there. its really bad at ign and other sites too. but if thats what they like then thats cool. anyone remember a game name blastcorps for the n64. heres hoping they bring that one back.

Re: Rumour: Blockbuster UK Lists 25 Wii U Games

thanos316

yea i do agree that we do need a mix of games.. cause right now on the wii im playing more sports and rpg games. such as pes, xenoblades and after i finish xenoblades i might move onto playing the last story or maybe super mario galaxy.. yes yes i know yall are laughing now but i know im not the only one who hasn't really played the mario galaxy games as yet, or maybe i am.. lol.. oh well
