General Chat / RE:Was NeoGAF always like this?

« on: February 09, 2007, 11:18:54 PM »

I will pop in the neoGAF forums every once in a while for info but I never post. Like you guys have said it is a wonderful place to get the latest news and sales but as far as discussions go it's not so hot.

Yeah, Fire Emblem, Sonic, and Naruto EX all come out this month so that's a good number of titles for the always slow month of Feb.

If VF doesn't have a huge impact (which it won't) then Sony is pretty much screwed for the rest of the year. No more big name titles till probably fall 07, just think of the lead Wii will have by then... especially if the PS3 numbers continue to drop at this steady pace.

Nintendo Gaming / RE:Nintendo's Message on your Wii about wrist straps

« on: February 07, 2007, 04:51:51 AM »

Exactly, anyone who just so happens to be filming themselves when something like that happens- I call BS. I still have the first wrist strap and there is no way that this thing would break and go flying unless I was actually trying to make it do so... even then I'm sure I'd have a bit of trouble.

Since your taste in games is obviously very different from mine, we'll go by the sales... Tell me how well the PS3 software is selling.

The Wii is taking a dump on the PS3 in all regions and the 3rd parties have seen this. The big name PS3 titles that we know about were in the works before anyone knew about Sony messing up. You can bet that just about every dev w/ a high budget PS3 titles in the works is cringing right now. The only game that can save the PS3 now is FFXIII imo, which was announced as a 2008 release which is way too late to save Sony.

I can die happy if the Wii becomes the home of 2d fighters. If the Wii gets 2d fighters in addition to more DDR love it will go down as my all time favorite console of all time.... Almost sounds too good to be true.

This is excellent news! Great find Pittbboi. DDR, Dewy, Kororinpa, and Wing Island are all games I want and will buy!! Good thing, I was about to import Koro and Wing Island. Considering the kind of support we got from Konami last gen this is very good news! And so early on too.

And you better believe that there's a lot of people out there who at a price like that would also have left it on the shelf.  They're f*cking games, not food.

I agree completely. $300 would be my absolute limit, and I have never paid that much yet.

Online has never been a top priority for me, though a select few titles would be great online! Pokemon and SSB come to mind, and since both will be online I rekon I don't got nothing to worry about.

I agree completely w/ you guys.

Oh, and this thread fails.... If a game is not fun to you then don't play it. The whole "I enjoy reading books but its not fun" thing is just stupid. Fun doesn't only apply to action or fast paced enjoyment. If something is fun it is enjoyable. Settling down w/ a nice book and relaxing is fun if you are enjoying it.

Good ol' Iwata, the man has done wonders for Nintendo. The DS and Wii are probably gonna follow alot of the same patterns in terms of how they sell.

Go ahead and be done, we'll come back after MGS4 is released and see who was right.

I feel you are putting too much faith in a few games that won't be released for a long time to bring the PS3 out on top. MGS4 will see a spike in sales, but it will not be enough to bring it over the Wii. It'll be in the top 10 for a while but drop off rather quickly. FFXIII has been confirmed as a 2008 JPN release which means a late 08- early 09 release in the US at best (Keep in mind it was 3 years since the first screens of FFXII were shown to it's release) so expect delays here as well. That is just way too late in the gen to push the PS3 ahead of the Wii in any region.

I swear with your constant negative statements about Nintendo (even now with the current state of the industry) at a Nintendo forum leads me to believe you are simply trolling. The occasional "Nintendo is my favorite" is thrown in here and there to hide it imo.

For me it's not that we're not seeing that new gen style now, it's that we have no proof that we're ever going to see titles that look better than what the Gamecube did. No announcements, no screen shots, nothing.

Quote
I wrote that simply because that's, by and large, the impression we're getting now

Didn't you just say "it's not that we're not seeing that new style now?" please. Also, if you meant now then you should have said that instead of ever.... then again you just said it wasn't about now, then you turn around and say it is so whatever...

Quote
When the PS2 first launched, it didn't really have many titles that displayed what the console was capable of, either. However, they had announcements, screenshots, and tentative release dates for games that were definitely beatuiful to look at and truly pushing us into the next generation of gaming

This isn't 1999 anymore, the jump in visuals isn't very big this gen at all, even the PS3 and 360's best offerings aren't that impressive. Also, you are forgetting the Wii is not all about graphics, The systems has completely taken a dump on the PS3 and is closing in on the 360 with its last gen graphics anyway.

Quote
You knew better was coming. Same with the Xbox360. However, the Wii doesn't really have that outside of it's first party offerings (and even those are appealing mainly to Nintendo fans only)

Wrong. Just take a look at the DS, it has been a completely dominate beast on pretty much Nintendo titles alone. 3rd parts support is just now starting to come around. Nintendo has proven they can pretty much carry the system on their own. Don't try to tell me "But the DS and Wii are completely different!" because from where I'm standing things are looking pretty darn similar.

Quote
and when the initial WiiSports craze eventually dies down and it's up to gamers to carry the console, the Wii might find itself having very little to keep interest piqued.

Nope, wrong again. Non-gamer games like Wii health pack, Brain Training, Wii Music, etc will carry the craze on. Wii sports and Wii play have been in the top ten since their debut and are showing no signs of leaving anytime soon. The Wii is like the DS all over again.
