Re: Rumour: Blockbuster UK Lists 25 Wii U Games

thanos316

@ hydeks.. u make a great point. I also believe that ninty is changing cause i was watching soccer yesterday and they was a spot talking about the 3ds and that it could stream soccer highlights now. So ninty is finally advertising more and that will make a difference.

Re: Rumour: Blockbuster UK Lists 25 Wii U Games

thanos316

I also have to say the n64 launch lineup wasnt great, neither the ps3 lineup. This launch lineup being posted by blockbuster if it was a100% real it would be fine given a mario title thrown in there. An i will go on the record to say the 3ds launch lineup was good variety..

Re: Rumour: Blockbuster UK Lists 25 Wii U Games

thanos316

From the start "wii" as a name sucked but ninty said they was trying to go some place different with that name choice. Wii u is a crappy name also and i hope it changes at e3. But i am sure people knows the wii was made by nintendo. But sometimes when you have a name that appeals to millions why let it go thats all i was saying. Thats why sequels are made to get every buck from a name people know well. But back on topic, the game list is okay and speculative and i am sure they will be big surprises right before and at e3..

Re: Rumour: Blockbuster UK Lists 25 Wii U Games

thanos316

@billy.. how has apple stolen the wii market. wii gimmick?.... idk how u figured apple has stolen anything. ninty might have taken a look at apples business model and use it to their advantage by the way they implemented the wii into the console race many yrs ago. and the wii could have been greater if devs didn't bring out crap games to get a buck and didn't place wii in the kids category. but i do hope that ninty gives up the wii name and go with another name. but the wii name still holds familiarity with people and that helps them in the long run..

Re: Rumour: This is Wii U's Controller Charging Dock

thanos316

well more and more rumors cometh. e3 is only a month away now. so things will heat up more and more. im betting that the new cod will be coming to wii u, also they may be a name change, and a couple of other games will be coming to wii u that no one would have ever think of.

Re: Talking Point: Does Nintendo Finally 'Get' Digital?

thanos316

im not that much interested in digital downloads of full games. i like to borrow games from other people to test out and play and i don't know if it can be done when u can only have a digital dowload on one system. well we shall see how it goes in the upcoming months..

Re: Rayman Legends is Coming to Wii U, Supports NFC

thanos316

this game looks great and fun.. i hope no heads are rolling for this leak. but maybe they leaked it on purpose to get peoples reaction on the game. hmmmm.. food for thought. well hope there is more to come, e3 is almost here and im sure gaming news will start ramping up.. and great looking game again..

Re: Konami Announces PES 2013 for Wii and 3DS

thanos316

ive always loved pes for the wii. pes is a more technical football game than fifa on the wii. when fifa first came to the wii it was a good game but then it went the way of arcade base and fell off which was a shame. but im glad to hear that pes 2013 is coming out for the wii again and i'm sure that pes will hit wii u sooner rather than later since pes came to the 3ds early in its life cycle

Re: Talking Point: Is Nintendo Over-Reliant on Super Mario?

thanos316

no they are not. let me rethink my answer. they do pump out a lot of mario titles but most of them are high quality. im not really talking about the sports games, but mario galaxy and mario for the ds and mario kart. even mario strikers was a good game for the game cube i think it first came out for. but ninty has metroid, now kid icarus is back. but mario games sells like hotcakes, so why wouldn't ninty keep up this cash cow. more power to them. i haven't played mario galaxy titles as yet but soon enough i will. i say keep pumping out mario titles until they don't sell good anymore.

Re: Rumour: Wii U Components Cost $180, Will Retail at $300

thanos316

if the price is right around 300 thats cool. but i hope it wont cost more than 400. ninty gotta make a profit somehow i guess. day after day new lil tidbits keep on coming out about the wii u. hmm 2 more months until we see whats really in this box and all the things it can do. price tag around 300 is cool for me, cause in reality people drop 250 on a new smart phone every year or so, and we all know a phone never lasts 5 to 8 years.. i know people will start bitching from start about the price no matter what it is, but come on people what do u expect if you want ninty to compete

Re: Talking Point: Is Wii U's Power Really That Important?

thanos316

yes i am concerned about power for the wii u. devs want to work with a machine that they can have the power right there for them. devs want more and more power at their disposal. they complained how the wii was underpowered when they could just be creating some great games with good visuals for the wii. so i hope ninty gave the devs enough power to work with so they can stop their belly aching. but the ds didnt have amazing power but some devs actually created some great games for it. in the end devs need to be creative and not put out some gimmicky crap that no one will be fooled from..

Re: Nintendo UK Pushes Wii RPGs with New Trailer

thanos316

its a shame that these games took so long to come out on the wii. we could have used some high profile rpg's when the system was in its 2nd or 3rd year. that would have definitely combat all the crappy shovelware that was being pushed on the system in those years. i hope the wii u will learn from this and bring out some excellent rpg's in its 1st years..

Re: Feature: The Mistakes of the 3DS Launch

thanos316

what mistakes. i won't call them mistakes. they sold the system at a price they think it deserved to be sold at and had some decent launch titles. i would say that they should have had some features in there from day one but thats the only little blip from the 3ds launch. the 3ds was a fantastic system from day one. people was just over reacting during the first few months the 3ds launched. but ninty is making up for this in a huge way now..good luck to the 3ds in the future

Re: Ubisoft Fills In Assassin's Creed III Wii U Details

thanos316

im on this system on day 1 if i see some promise at e3. but i wanna see developers make awesome games, no watered down gimmicks. im sure they have learned from the wii, well lets hope they have. its funny how when the wii first came out devs said that its 2 gamecubes put together, but shouldn't that mean that it should be easy to develop good games and manipulate the hardware to bring out great games. lets see what they do this time around..

Re: Vigil Games: "Wii U On Par with Current-Gen Consoles"

thanos316

im sure it will be more powerfull than the other consoles that are out now ninty ehas deep pockets and im sure a lot of that money has gone into r&d. lets see what ninty shows us at e3. thats when all the chips will be put on the table and we will see what other developers have for the wii u.. and i hope it gets a name change. but the wii u keeps it familiar in the market with what people already know.

Re: Interview: Super Fighter Team - Developing for SNES in 2012

thanos316

you can't knock a team that producing quality titles that people want. he even said that hes pretty hard to please and that he won't release a game that he wouldn't himself buy. so thats good to hear cause you know you won't be paying for bull crap, and you will get your monies worth. so keep making those titles that people want, and it doesn't have to be a million seller. hey they are having fun making those titles, so thats all good. and maybe i should start keeping my consoles longer. but i think imma keep my wii for a long long time. there is so much yet to be done on "old machines"....

Re: Michael Pachter Suggests That Wii U Could Struggle

thanos316

im just really tired of hearing from him. he must get paid well or something i swear. im sure if i search other gaming sites this same article from patcher on the wii u will be there. well whatever, he wont stop me from picking up a wii u if it looks like a good purchase in the fall. and if i don't go with the wii u in the fall then i will definitely go the pc route

Re: Michael Pachter Suggests That Wii U Could Struggle

thanos316

why do yall keep posting articles from this idiot. who ever decided to put this article onto the website can you please and im very serious, can you please let me know why this guy is so important. cause everything that he says about the video game situation yall post. this guy must be like game god or something..

Re: Nintendo Reportedly Has 812.8 Billion Yen in the Bank

thanos316

i read this same report before somewhere else i think but its good to hear it again. some noobs must really think ninty is doomed. the wii does so much more than gaming and appealed to a very wide audience so that must have to produce money for them. and even going further back the game boy and ds hasn't been doing too shabby themselves, yes they may have some set backs but they have money in the bank. well billions in the bank to be exact. lets hope the wii u is excellent, no holding back.. oh yea so yall know again NINTENDO IS DOOMED.. LOL....don't mind the billions in the bank

Re: Talking Point: 3DS Depends on Nintendo Titles for Success

thanos316

its all about marketing, advertising. you have to get your products out there to reach the public somehow. nintendo has that brand that is widely known. third parties need to spend some money on advertising their games either in print magazines, online or on tv, and also nintendo need to help them as well either by making demos available for people to try out the game. and also the consumer need to also support the third parties. meaning if you buy a third party game and its excellent, then recommend it to other people, word of mouth also drives sales. so both the third parties and ninty need to do a better job marketing their games. trust me im in marketing and spending dollars in that department will make a big difference in game sales..

Re: Review: NASCAR Unleashed (3DS)

thanos316

i loved the nascar games back on the gamecube . i think it was nascar thunder, or i may be wrong by which system it was out for but that was a great game. developers need to make a great sim base nascar game and maybe throw in some street level mini games. placing nascar on this crappy title is not good for nascar. hopefully we get a great nascar game next go around..

Re: Wii U Panorama View Demo is Awesome

thanos316

that looks very nice. no drop in frame rate is a good thing also. i hope developers really take their time and make some great games and experiences for this new system. no more excuses, develpers need to do the damn thing. i can't wait to see what they will show at e3 on this system. hopefully a new name too.

Re: Industry Analysts: 3DS is Bouncing Back

thanos316

michael patcher is a jack. does anyone really still listen to that idiot. no one cares about what he has to say. i would really hope sites would stop showing quotes from that idiot. they know nothing. ninty just needs to put support into the 3ds, don't hold back, more advertising, more everything and they will continue to push on

Re: 3DS Hits 4 Million Console Sales in United States

thanos316

xbox and sony fanboy and game informer included never give ninty any props. but damn they do sure sell a lot of hardware. wasn't nintendo suppose to die and fade away. isn't the 3ds and wii just a one trick pony, and yet still they sell like hotcakes. and oh yea the legend of zelda won the fan vote on xplay the other day beating out other major titles. keep it up ninty, keep kicking and taking names..

Re: Nintendo Crows About November Sales for Wii and 3DS

thanos316

@traxx for every wii thats sold nintendo earns a profit. nintendo developed games sells by the truck loads. ninty prints money. sony and microsoft are just copying nintendo with the whole motion controls. if most developers outside of nintendo would make some decent games for the wii then their games would sell a lot too. us gamers aren't stupid and won't pick up a game thats a watered down version from other consoles. watch out for the wii u. its gonna be amazing. and im sure microsoft and sony will follow ninty with that one also.

Re: Nintendo: Miyamoto Is Not Stepping Down

thanos316

i think its a good thing that hes stepping down into a smaller role. he can add some input into game development but let some fresh new blood take up the reins. he can maybe develop some smaller games. well hope he continues his hard work

Re: 3DS Nears 3 Million Sales in Japan

thanos316

nintendo just prints money. well congrats to ninty. keep up the good work. just got a 3ds for the misse and super mario looks incredible. im about to just take it from her and keep it for myself. but i have a dsi and still have some good games on there to play till i get a 3ds myself..

Re: Feature: The Revolution of the Wii

thanos316

it should have been called revolution. that name revolution would have put more fear into sony and microsoft hearts. but the wii for me was a great system, i enjoyed playing some great games on here and i still have more great games left to be played. ive always told my friends that the money ninty makes from the wii that their next system will be great. i still say that its easier to play sports games and shooting games with the wii remote and nunchuck. and im sad for all thoes newbies who broked thier tvs playing like crazy animals with the remote.. lol..

Re: Review: The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword (Wii)

thanos316

ign gave this game a 9.5, and said it was the best zelda yet. then 1up gave it a b plus. now ur giving it a 10. i think imma go with ur review. right after i finish xenoblade imma take on zelda. ive played zelda games since i was a young boy. now i gotta play the best of the best. forget about cod, battlefield, assasins creed, this is the game of the holiday season

Re: Talking Point: Nintendo's Plans to Fight Back

thanos316

i agree with u shingi the 3ds has some good games out and the launch wasn't spectacular but good nonetheless considering the amount of games its lauch with. I also agree with the article about nintendo changing to fight off the competition. nintendo is putting a lot of money into the 3ds and developers are taking notice. heck the ds had some great games on it, im still catching up on all the great rpg's that came out on the ds. the wii is slowly dying and not many good games will surface for it now but it had a great run, such as the first madden that came out on the wii was great. And im sure that ninty been spending all that surplus money into developing the wii u. so i have faith in ninty.

Re: Iwata Unsure if Nintendo Will Sell Wii U At a Loss

thanos316

i don't understand why everyone gets down on the 3ds for. it didn't have a spectacular launch but it did have a decent lineup of games and the back catalog is extensive. doesn't anyone remember when the ps3 first launch with some crappy games and the ds also took some time to gain some steam. but i feel that since the wii u is a year away that nintendo will be fine. just look at the content that is coming out for the 3ds now. so with strong support the wii u should be fine

Re: EA Pledges "Key Franchises" to Wii U

thanos316

well if the wii u is coming out next fall then im sure madden and fifa will be ready to roll on it. and with any console i can only hope that the lineup keeps getting better year after year. so lets hope no shovelware, but maybe im being too optimistic

Re: Ubisoft: "Nobody Proved Wii Does FPS Controls Better"

thanos316

some games are easier to play with the wii motion controls. i remember the 1st time i played madden on the wii, i was blown away by how easy the in game controls were. and some games don't need motion, thats why when i see people flailing their hands like crazy, im like all u have to do is a lil flick and u get a response. but some developers go crazy implementing motion controls when they have a choice of 3 control schemes with the wii. and ubisoft didn't do motion controls much justice in their games either so they should take a look at themselves 1st.

Re: Talking Point: Nintendo's 3DS Press Conference

thanos316

stock holders are just idiots that dont know much. ninty make ur own path, cause you know sony and microsoft will follow. keep pumping out them great games and learn from your mistakes. 3ds to me is coming along just fine. people should give it time to build up momentum like the original ds did.

Re: 3DS Sales Jump 260 Percent in US After Price Drop

thanos316

Nintendo just prints money. but lets see if this keeps up for the long run, but i have a feeling it will with strong titles coming out in the near future. Imma pick me up a 3ds soon, too many strong titles out there to resist any longer. I hope now people will stop their conplaining about nothing good to play on the system.

Re: Rumour: Nintendo Readying Big Announcement Next Month

thanos316

if they went and redesign the 3ds this will be a total failure. they said couple of months ago how they wont change the 3ds, and now if they do, its looking like i might move over to pc gaming. ninty your messing with a good thing. lets hope this is about the wiiu. better name and software to match

Re: Talking Point: What If Nintendo Became a Third Party?

thanos316

hmmm im wondering what was the sales projection for the 3ds in its first couple of months on the market. its not even a yr old, developers are still developing games for it, just give it time. and nintendo won't look good as a 3rd party developer. but i guess nothing lasts forever..

Re: Tekken 3D Prime Edition Shots and Trailer Pack a Punch

thanos316

the more the merrier i always say. we always need more choices, not everyone likes the same thing so variety is good to have on a console. not everyone thinks sf series is the best fighter of all time, but enjoy watever you like. im glad to see developers are finally embracing ninty consoles again

Re: Talking Point: The Great Nintendo 3DS Price Drop Debate

thanos316

so it sold over 4 million units in 4 months, that sounds very impressive to me. but i guess we are just number crunchers just like the corporate folks. lets enjoy some of the hardware and some of the games thats out there already and lets not forget the back catalog of games. well a price drop has me sold on the system already. i guess it can get better on the online front, cause everything else on the 3ds seems good to me..

Re: Investors Urge Nintendo to Develop for Smartphones

thanos316

don't do it ninty, stick to what you do best. gaming on smart phones isn't all its cracked up to be. okay the visuals are okay but the controls sucks. i played ncaa football on the ipad and the controls wasn't good, visuals were decent, but nothing spectacular. too much smart phones out there on the market. but if someone was smart they would develop a better battery that last longer for these devices

Re: Feature: 3DS Games Worth Buying Before Mario

thanos316

i don't understand why everyone is complaining about lack of games, cause the 3ds has a decent lineup of games, plus you have the back catalog of the ds games. how long has the 3ds been out for, i feel that we get too spoileed sometimes. for god sakes the n64 dropped with only 2 games. plus you have to factor in the price of the 3ds at launch and the dsi still has life in it. people are still picking up the ps2. so to me the games aren't the reason here, i know that they aren't a lot of triple A titles for the 3ds but nonetheless it has games for everyone right now. plus really how many games can you really play at once.

Re: Codemasters Lining Up Formula 1 for Wii U Grid

thanos316

ive been looking forward on playing a new f1 game on the wii since the 1st one came out and im sure this new one will be great. i also like the dirt series. all we need now is screenshots and video of games running on wii u hardware..

Re: Nintendo's Annual Report Continues Incredible Wii Figures

thanos316

@deegan714 u know why they say the wii sucks its because they never took the time out to play it and they always go by youtube video where some noob breaks his tv with the wiimote. they had some awsome games for the wii, and im not talking about the same ones everyone talks about.

Re: Nintendo's Annual Report Continues Incredible Wii Figures

thanos316

the wii is a top selling console no one can deny it that. well hopefully these amazing sales can translate over to the wii u, damn wish it had a better name. well we will see the 3ds pick up even more steam later this year. and next year the wii u will be crazy. so much for the demise of nintendo..
