Nintendo Gaming / RE: Title Overload

« on: September 09, 2004, 08:12:57 PM »

NO they wouldn't make a profit.  They'd have to sell a lot more games at that price to break even.  If they wanted to boost sells they could pull a sony and drop all first party games to $40 or even $45.  That would not be a good idea either because third parties would have to drop prices even more in order to try and compete on gamecube.

Nintendo Gaming / RE: They should make a Zelda RPG.

« on: September 09, 2004, 08:03:21 PM »

The problem with a zelda rpg would be finding a party that doesn't suck.  I don't want to play as zelda and a gang of other random characters.  Let me be link, let me hack, slash, move blocks and light tourches.  The only way I would play a zelda RPG is if they went the direction of tales and made it an actio RPG.  As long as the overworld was better than it is in symphonia it will be a good game.  I just don't want what happens to link to be up to chance.  I play though zelda games a lot and go hours without getting touched, its hard to go through an rpg and not get hurt, I don't want link to be hurt.

Nintendo Gaming / RE: The other Nintendo Characters.

Sonny and Harry should get their own GTA: Nintendo style game.  Not with the violence but with the go anywhere and do a hole lot type of gameplay.  They'd drive a kart around and their weapon of choice would be golf balls and a sand wedge.  The idea needs fleshed out.

I hope nintendo finds a way to control when and when not people can talk, because if it turns out anything like xbox live parents won't let their kids play witht the headset and nintendo doesn't want that to happen.

Nintendo Gaming / RE: Hunters - I don't get the press's freaking problem (Metroid/FPS discussion)

« on: September 09, 2004, 11:28:53 AM »

If hunters keeps the same feel of its gamecube bretheren then you don't need to turn and shoot at the same time.  Besides, you don't have to use the stylus if you don't want soo stop crying.

Nintendo Gaming / RE: Cool Games that Need to Come to the DS

« on: September 09, 2004, 11:24:46 AM »

ITs high time Atlus gave us a new ogre battle game.  My copies of person of lordly calibur and knight of lodis are wearing thin.  I know the game wouldn't sell well, but if it has the same quality of the other games critics will love it and hardcore RPG fans that actually buy rpgs that don't say final fantasy will buy it and that's all they can ask for.

Nintendo Gaming / RE: Super Smash Bros DS, Can it be real??

« on: September 09, 2004, 11:11:08 AM »

NO, both screens should be used for gameplay, and without a stylus.  Using just one screen would just be too small for real smash brothers action.  Having two screens could be cool for gameplay.
P.S. They should let Tomonobu do it.  how badass would having Tomonobu Itagaki make a smash brothers game on any console.  Hell I'd take anything he does.

some poor fool will beleive it was a lie.  Its kind of funny because this happens all the time.  I surprised he still has his job.  People get fired all the time for talking when they shouldn't.  Which is why I'm doubtful about smash bros DS coming anytime soon.  That NOA rep would have been fired on spot if it was in development now for a upcoming release in the three months after launch.

Nintendo Gaming / RE: It's high time for info, nintendo

« on: September 09, 2004, 10:59:00 AM »

Someone in this forum has a brain.  GOOD JOB!  Yes nintendo is waiting until after TGS to start hyping the hell out of everything, not just DS.  Seriously you just wait I don't give it two hours after TGS is over and the hype wagon'll start with rigorous vigor.  NOA knows it can't end up in third place after christmas, that would crush next years efforts.  Resident Evil 4 isn't coming out until next march, the january delay is just a blow softner.  Star fox isn't coming out until possible summer to be the summer title symphonia was suppose to be this year.  The one thing I;m really hoping for is a package deal.  I'm sure it'll sell well with or without, but if nintendo put a game in the DS then it would sell a bajillion times better.

Nintendo Gaming / RE: Games on other consoles that are hurting the GC

« on: September 09, 2004, 10:45:16 AM »

Nintendo changing its perception in the markey will be imposible, and it doesn't need to completly change its perception in the market.  If nintendo wants to make it big in the next console race they only need two games.  A happy mario game that will be old school platforming brilliance that we all want to see.  And a discustingly depressing Legend of Zelda game that runs a long the same line as the new one coming out.  And you win.  Well. . . its not that simple, they need to get games that their competetors won't get.  They also need to loosen up a bit on its secrecy policy, yes surprise games are good and all, but tell us a little about what we're going to be paying our $60 for.  Yeah the price is going to go up and you know it.  The big problem with MP2 is that we don't know a damn thing about it.  While Halo 2 on the other hand is everywhere.  Microsoft has given us all the details without spoiling the game.  Yes I want to be surprised at what lies in the depts of aether that we don't know, but I also want to know more than the fact that I get two new beams, can shoot while I grapple, can't survive in the dark world for very long, and have morph ball canons.  Thats good for a lot of hardcore fans, but people on the fence need to know more about the game than that.  What nintendo needs to do big time is take team ninja away from microsoft.  That would seal the dea.  Team ninja has made all but two games that I own for xbox.  Tomonobu said himself he'd make a better pikmin 3, let him do it.  It would give nintendo time to make a new franchise.  Also could you imagine what Itagaki could do with smash brothers.  He'd turn it into the game all other fighting games area measured to.  And it would look damn pretty.  Sorry I didn't mean to start ranting on the greatness of tomonobu, but seriously he's what nintendo really need right about now.

Nintendo Gaming / RE: Halo Coming to GBA??

« on: September 09, 2004, 10:28:27 AM »

Halo will never be on a system thay microsoft doesn't own.  Halo is their bread and butter, their breadwinner, their shining light that says look here look what we have and you don't.  And a good light it is.  I'm not sure any developer is stupid enough to take the best first party game you have and put it on a system you can't control and risk people wanting that as much as the origional Therefore taking away sales from you and giving it to them.  Halo is a Xbox mover and will be until the system dies.  I bought my xbox for halo and panzer dragoon(more panzer really), and everyone I know bought their xbox for halo, that's the only game a lot of xbox owner have (other than the free ones they get with the system.)  They might release some other microsoft games on the GBA or even the DS but never will you ever see Halo on any system that doen't have microsoft written on it somewhere, (no the mac doesn't count because they own that too, don't deny the truth)

Nintendo Gaming / RE: No DS Games from Rare

« on: September 09, 2004, 10:22:45 AM »

Rare is an amazingly talented group of people.  Their problen is it takes them five years to make game without nintendo being there saying hurry the F up.  People don't know this but conker was suppose to come out last year, I'm pretty sure around summer time, but rare hit some snags and decided to just not announce its release day. Trust me Rare will develop for the DS, and chances are they are developing now.  Microsoft doesn't want nintendo fanboy's getting happy about anything.  It would aslo be very stupid for them to annoucne support now when they won't put the game into full development until at least february or march of next year.  They're putting all of their effort into conker and its mister pants, more so conker than anything because that's their breadwinner.

Nintendo Gaming / RE: Is Nintendo killing thirdparty support itself?

« on: September 09, 2004, 10:17:35 AM »

Truth be told if the Revolution is as unique as Nintendo says its going to be they might as well start digging their own grave.  Sure I'll buy it firsy, but only If I have enough money to spend on microsoft's new console if the Big N's fails (I hate sony).  If the Revolution is too diferent from the other two consoles then no one is going to want to develop for it.  Porting games to the gamecube is hard enough as it is.  The only thing that nintendo has going for it in the next console war is the fact that their console will be more powerful than Microsofts seeing as how once microsoft finalize's their hardware nintendo will have IBM bump theirs up a bit just to do so.  Sure EA, Capcom, Sega, and Namco will have Nintendo's back, but there are a lot of new third parties cropping up, and a lot of them are pushing out badass games that nintendo won't get, or get crappy ports of (thank you ubisoft.)  No nintendo going online is not the answer.  They don't have the money for that, and its time for people to realize, the only way the cube is going online is if every cube owner shovels out their yearly paycheck, or their parents for most owners, so nintendo can have the back up funds that sony and microsoft have.  The truth is Nintendo would love to go online, its just no financially posible, at least without having people pay seventy bucks a month.  Third parties don't go to nintendo because the other companies throw money at them.  True nintendo is hands down the best developer and publisher of video games ever, but that won't sustain a console, and yes that is the biggest reason third parties don't develop on cube.  Ask anyone that plays games on a regular basis and they'll tell you straight up that given the choice they'd take a great nintendo game over a great any other game simply because no one can outdo nintendo's quality of excelence.  Why compete, you'll sell more when your competition is blinx, than when its mario.  And that is why gamecube has so few third party games.

Nintendo Gaming / RE: They should make a Zelda RPG.

« on: September 09, 2004, 10:01:30 AM »

No RPG for zelda, unless you want to completly ruin what is undeniably the single greatest videogame franchise ever.  Have you ever seen a bad zelda game (at least one made by nintendo) No you haven't, even the worst game is better than most other games on the market.  Link doesn't need to talk.  If Link talked he'd lose a lot of his charm, people have in their mind what link sounds like.  We don't want to ruin that.  As far as RPGs go, No, just no.  Zelda isn't made for RPG, its made for adventure with someone actually controlling the action not watching it.
