Re: Talking Point: Nintendo Makes Bold Move with the 3DS

thanos316

this is down the middle for me. firstly the 3ds been out for i guess half a year so far and it has some games thats gotten good reviews, and some features that the regular ds doesn't have. the ds saw many changes from the ds phat to now the dsi, and maybe some people felt ninty was gonna change the 3ds in the near future so they was holding out. so now ninty drops the price to a sweet spot of 169, well for me thats a definite buy. listen even though the ps3 is selling well the ps2 was still pushing out good units. so i guess ninty wanna try some way to bring people ova from dsi to 3ds, which was a hard sell before, but now at this reduced price and their killer apps coming later this yr, more people will jump at getting a 3ds. oh yea and if they are a lil smart they would drop the price of the games by say 5 dollars. just saying..

Re: 3DS Drops to $169.99 from 12th August

thanos316

i might finally get a 3ds now. nintendo has gone all in and is ready to gamble on this holiday season to get the 3ds going. can't beat 169 for all the features that this system provides. the software quality is high so far and will get even higher and its not even a year old yet. so its on now..

Re: Crush 3D "Delayed Due to Success of 3DS"

thanos316

hmmm i don't understand. they now say that they don't wanna release a game until more people buys the 3ds hardware. and before it was they don't wanna support the wii because it didn't have hd graphics even though it was selling millions. i really don't understand developers or who ever decides what time to bring a game out to the market. full of excuses.

Re: Netflix Arrives on 3DS in North America Tomorrow

thanos316

netflix is getting a price hike. i was looking forward to actually picking up a 3ds later this year and getting netflix, but after i heard of the price hike im thinking i might pass on netflix.. but hope video streaming works well on the 3ds. looks like nintendo is on point

Re: Iwata Knows 3DS Launch Line-Up was Lacklustre

thanos316

hmmm he knew that it was lackluster. i wouldn't exactly say that it was. it launched with some okay titles, nothing too much to blow u away, but a good amount nonetheless. well now titles are picking up steam and im actually seeing a commercial for the new re game, lets hope they keep advertising more titles so they can sell well

Re: Nintendo Considering Automatic Demo Downloads for 3DS & Wii U

thanos316

sounds like a good idea to me. you never know you make get a demo from a game you would have never gaved a second look at and then decide to purchase it in the long run. and plus not all people agree with certain reviews of a game, so if you take a look at a game a month from purchase it sounds like a win win to me.

Re: First Impressions: Resident Evil Revelations

thanos316

hmm i might have to look into getting a 3ds. business is begginning to pickup. just a few more solid titles and netflix or movie support and im in this winter. i just hope that when i finally do pick one up that nintendo don't announce a redesign one. but this re title sounds great.

Re: Vigil Games Talks About Wii U Development and Darksiders II

thanos316

well lets hope that nintendo and developers are really working with each other this time around. communication is key here to creating good partnerships and hopefully that will translate into great games and not shovelware coming out for the wiiu. lets keep our fingers crossed, cause im optimistic on this one....

Re: Tales of Graces Wii Will Not Be Released In the West

thanos316

Nintendo ur not making any friends here. Im already leaning towards purchasing a pc that can play all games that come to market. but nintendo you are a business and you have to do what you think is best in the long run. well good luck to you not bringing out these rpgs to american shores this yr...

Re: Talking Point: The Growing Storm of Operation Rainfall

thanos316

its all about advertising. if nintendo would put some more dollars into advertising these games then they would sell a lil bit better. but if the only people who knows about the games are online fans then it won't be a hit. cause recently i told someone that i have cod for the wii and the person was like really they have that for the wii. so i think more advertising would help. come on ninty test the water with at least one title in america, or i guess we will be getting them from europe..

Re: Super Mario Galaxy Director was Kept in the Dark About Wii U

thanos316

Hmm do yall really believe that this guy didn't really know much about the wii u. the director thats behind galaxy, yea ok. galaxy for the wii u is probably in its final stages, being polished up for launch next year. and the wii u has lots of potential, lets see if developers can get creative, now that they have the horsepower that they've been begging for.. more shooters i see, damn hope not..

Re: Wii U Won't Support Blu-ray or DVD Playback

thanos316

so what if u can't play dvds or blu rays on it. the wii didn't and people still got it to play dvds eventually and im sure the same will happen for the wii u. and if ninty wants to save me some pennies then im all for it.

Re: Take a Closer Look at the Wii U Console

thanos316

hmmm so its small so what, makes it better for me to place anywhere in my home entertainment setup. technology advances every 6 months i think, so its only understandable that they can pack a lot into a small case. so keep costs down ninty and push that power out..

Re: Over 1 Million 3DS Consoles Sold in Japan

thanos316

the 3ds is picking up steam, just like the regular ds did when it first came out. with better games coming to market and more people picking up and playing the console for the 1st time then it will pick up even more. give it time and i believe some great things can be done on this handheld, cant wait till they start promoting movies on it.

Re: Pachter: Wii U is Too Late, 'Dumbest Name Ever'

thanos316

this guy has to be huge or something that websites are always talking about his view points and he was even on spike tv talking about e3 on day 1 of the show. the name is a lil out there and i thought they was gonna come with something different in terms of names, stream would have been good enough for me. but just with the name wii no one cares it was about the control and positioning of the system. the wii u i think is coming at the right time, why should nintendo go crazy when the wii held its own and did way better than 360 and ps3. but lets wait till next year to see what the wii u can really do cause im optimistic and im sure developers don't wanna miss a cash cow this time around. and please stop posting comments from this financial guy

Re: Review: BlazBlue: Continuum Shift 2 (3DS)

thanos316

After this review you got me wanting to pick up a 3ds. Gonna give the purchase a lil more time though cause i have this feeling that ninty will redesign it some way or the other.. well good review of the game and it has my money as soon as i pick up a 3ds..

Re: Wii U Uses 25GB Discs and Lacks GameCube Compatibility

thanos316

so no gamecube backwards compatibility. well i want to see some new titles, some fresh new ideas, and updated ones too, i don't mind that they left gamecube backwards compatibiltiy out. and 25gb size discs sounds good to me. and im sure someone will find a way to play gamecube games on it anyways so just give it time. the more i keep learning about this system the more im liking it.

Re: Wii U Hopes to Rectify Problems that Wii is Experiencing

thanos316

@3 why fire your marketing person. the wii sold like hot cakes. it just got a certain tag put on it. im enjoying my wii for the many things it does. you just gotta look for the good games and you will be rewarded. nintendo is innovating, and just look at xbox and sony using motion and aiming games towards families, hmm i wonder where they got that from. and oh yea nintendo has the handheld market on lock. just stop putting labels on things and have fun playing games u like

Re: Rumour: Wii Successor Won't Have a Traditional Hard Drive

thanos316

So no big harddrive. This is why hacking on the wii is so rampant, nintendo just don't wanna give you everything in a console. Nintendo has a lot of money in the bank and need to spend it correctly. Stop holding back and give us a killer system with great 3rd party support, im all for everyone playing games, and im not saying i want a million and one shooters but i wanna play quality games and not hear developers whine about lack of power and all their other bull crap. But if u don't wanna add a big hard drive to keep costs down then thats all on you, im sure someone will find a way to use external harddrives on the new system, cause i have one that i use for my wii..

Re: Review: Conduit 2 (Wii)

thanos316

Good review, you gaved good points to why u gaved it the score you did. i haven't started playing this game as yet, because ive now started playing metroid other M, don't laugh not everyone has played that game yet. But i also must say i can't really get the hang of playing fps on the 360, the wii remote just seems so right for that sort of game.

Re: Iwata: Wii Successor to "Offer New Ways to Play In the Home"

thanos316

Nintendo is a very smart company. they are one of the only companies who makes a profit from the system that they sell. im sure nintendo has been researching and developing this system for a long time now. nintendo just have to get developers to make quality games from their new system. Most developers thought the wii wasn't gonna be a success and missed the boat, i think developers are fascinated with the big grapics and big power, but if u have nothing innovative to bring no one will buy it. How many shooters can u come out with, im not saying that most shooters are bad but if the market is saturated with just those then most poeple wont get them. lets hope developers learn their lesson and bring something new and fresh. And lets hope nintendo listens and work with developers also, cause it goes both ways. im being optimistic

Re: Rumour: Wii 2 has Blu-ray Drive, Controller Contains a Screen

thanos316

nintendo is a very smart company, and they know they have to provide something different from the other consoles thats out there and that will be coming in the near future. lets hope that the developers and nintendo are on the same page this time around. i like good graphics just like the next person, but its all about gameplay for me. i just want some fantastic games. i've always said that ninteno is behind the scenes developing something awesome for the next gen. the wii was a great system for me and it was truly revolutionary look at what its accomplished over these years thats why i say that. so the wii 2 will blow some minds away

Re: Wii is the Fastest Console in U.S. History to Shift 35 Million Units

thanos316

the wii is done for huh. i just like listening to stupid analysts talk and try to predict the future. from this article the wii is still going strong, and of course some numbers are going to dip because 35 million people already have one in the U.S. well keep on predicting the demise of the wii, cause the numbers talk for themselves. and imma keep on playing some excellent games throughout this whole year.

Re: Profits Down 46% As Nintendo Makes $1.3 Billion

thanos316

take it easy people the sky isn't falling. they are just adjusting their forecast. the ds and wii are still selling in the bucket loads. but u can't expect to sell at a high rate year after year when every and their momma have a nintendo console already. plus the 3ds is about to drop. nintendo is fine. take a deep breath people

Re: 3DS Hardware Details

thanos316

the 3ds is looking like a good value handheld. i know $250 is kinda steep, but u have to take in the new tech, and features this handheld can do. i just wish the batter life was a lil bit longer. and i also hope the sound of the system is a bit better than that of the dsi.

Re: Roll Up, Roll Up For the UK 3DS Price Rumour Round-Up

thanos316

Im gonna learn from past handheld debuts, imma wait a couple of months to a year before purchasing a 3ds. apple and now nintendo has a bad habit of changing things around on a device, whether making it more sleeker or price drops. but i am excited over the software. just gonna wait and see. but yall can go ahead and test it out for me, i will be on the sidelines for now

Re: Features: Nintendo Life's Game of the Year 2010 Awards

thanos316

Good choices for year end rewards. I really have to start playing MH3, everyone is saying thats an excellent game. Ive been here playing metroid prime 2 don't laugh cause not everyone played the metroid prime series as yet and also playing pes 2011. So many damn good games to play on the wii and so much little time. I don't care what no ones says the wii is the sh!!t...

Re: Nintendo Sold a Boatload of Hardware in November

thanos316

My friends at work been saying how wii sales are slowing down this year, and then to hear that the wii is still selling truck loads last month just makes me smile. The Wii still has life in it thats why i see nintendo is in no rush to bring out a new system and i agree with that strategy. so in the long run i hope that their r&d department is hard at work on the succersor to blow any crap sony and microsoft bring to the table in the next year or so..

Re: Review: A Shadow's Tale (Wii)

thanos316

i like the concept of this game. we need more titles like this. good review. i might just have to get this game and add it to the stellar wii offerings this year. this is definitely the year of the wii.

Re: Review: Need For Speed: Hot Pursuit (Wii)

thanos316

ea really has been stinking it up for the week this year. some developers get it, and ea sucks. no gamer wants a watered down game. if u can produce a good game for the gamecube then hell the wii shouldnt be that hard. well i wont be spending my money on this crap...

Re: Wii Speak's Time is Officially Over

thanos316

sometimes nintendo gets it right. sometimes they don't. the wii speak was one of those times that they didn't get it right. nintendo had a good concept in the wii speak but it wasn't practical for todays gaming. there is still a lot of things that they will learn from the wii speak that will be useful in the future..

Re: Fils-Aime: Nintendo's Biggest Current Threat is Apple

thanos316

i think hes right to an extent. u gotta keep an eye out on apple. apple has a good business model today with the iphone and ipad and with cheap downloadable apps that people are just eating up right now. i just hope nintendo don't get complacent and keep the money in the bank. i hope they put all those millions into R&D and bring out the next big console.

Re: Review: Kirby's Epic Yarn (Wii)

thanos316

10 out of 10. nice detailed review by the way. i've been waiting for this game ever since i saw it unveiled a couple months ago. its a breath of fresh air. they really need to be more games like this made. nintendo is on the right track this fall winter season. next up epic mickey. keep up the good work nintendo..

Re: Review: FIFA 11 (Wii)

thanos316

okay i've played this new version for a day now. its just the same as last year without the slowmo shooting. management of your team is crap. the online play is sub par. the graphics are crap. im sorry ea but u have really screw wii owners over.do not waste ur money on this game. wii owners deserves 10x better than this...

Re: This Christmas is Critical for Wii, Admits Iwata

thanos316

what is this guy talking about. the wii has been selling in the truck loads every year to date. things have to eventually cool down. thats how the cycle of consoles goes. 5 yrs in the game and the wii is still outselling everyone else, not only in usa but all over the world too. i don't see no trouble for the wii, they just need to keep putting out solid game and they will be fine.

Re: Review: FIFA 11 (Wii)

thanos316

Why did ea change the gameplay in fifa for the wii. they did such a beautiful job on their first go around on the wii, the only thing they lack was the online connection. i really thought the next year that they would just keep improving, but then they moved into the arcade direction. Someone really needs to tell ea that wii owners deserves the same game thats on the xbox 360 and ps3. when no one picks up this game for the wii they shall see i guess. Pes is the top pick for football on the wii by a long shot.
