Oh Reggie, even you weren't immune to the 70s...
Nintendo would be stupid to do that again.Really? I'd buy an HD/better textures version of Skyward Sword on newer, more powerful hardware ANY day over the current Wii version. Easy. And I'm sure hundreds of thousands of Nintendo fans who prefer "core" games would, too.
"Winning" - The Charlie Sheen Epic RPG. Released for Wii & Ported for Nintendo 3DS. It will include a credit card accessory that will plug into the Wii remote so you can accurately imitate cutting lines of cocaine & 3DS connectivity so you can record 3D photographic progress of your body's degredation into a drug-fuelled madness and share with Nintendo for online leaderboards.

I'd be surprised if that game didn't sell atleast 200k domestically.

So you're saying that you would LOVE for Skyward Sword to be delayed, just like TP was delayed, just so you can buy a new console and play it on that?
Thats retarded.
Not really. Twilight Princess was a vastly improved game because of it. Sure, you get Link's true left-handedness in the GC version, but the better controls were found in the Wii "upgrade". Once again, I'd take a "SuperWii" upgrade any day over the current Wii release for Zelda.Nintendo would be stupid to do that again.Really?

Not to mention that continuing the trend of delayed dual releases completely eradicates the idea that Skyward Sword is the first "real" Wii Zelda game.
If they are gonna force the waggle on me, then I want it to be waggle 2.0, new and improved.

Nintendo tends to do two types of shows. You either get something new announced that really gets everyone excited or it's just a total lame duck where all the good stuff is something we already know about and the new stuff is all incredibly lame. Hopefully we get the first type.
SF4 (they couldn't even do SSF4... :/) just isn't making me rush out to purchase a 3DS.
I don't want them to delay the game for an extra year just to TP it, but if it's already been delayed for a year so that they could TP it at the end of this year, I wouldn't be mad. whats done would already be done.

Twilight Princess was delayed a year because the development was a mess and Miyamoto rebooted it in mid 2005. They ended up porting the game to the Wii because they realized that if they were going to have to delay it until fall 2006, they might as well just put it on the Wii to help it's launch. But the original reason for the delay was always the fact the game was no where close to completion.
Skyward Sword on the other hand is said to already be close to being done and so has no reason to be delayed an entire year. Not to mention the Wii is still doing great in America and good in Europe which is where Zelda games get the majority of their sales and so Nintendo also has no reason to port it to a new system when it can still get huge sales on the Wii.

So that makes Reggie about 51 years old.
I wouldn't be surprised if Nintendo was developing it themselves just to make sure it came to the Wii at all.

is it Super!? well that's good, but now I want MvC3. SSF4 is old news already, I want the new hawtness!
Dragon Quest 10 moved to 3DSThere already is a Dragon Quest game in development for the 3DS, so I see no reason to move X to it.
I'd buy an HD/better textures version of Skyward Sword on newer, more powerful hardware ANY day over the current Wii version. Easy. And I'm sure hundreds of thousands of Nintendo fans who prefer "core" games would, too.Not me. I don't care that much about graphics and that's the only thing I can see that would be different if there were a version of Skyward Sword on the next system, so it isn't worth buying a new system to me. I'm not interested in a new system yet in general, there are still plenty of Wii games I want first. Then again, there are still plenty of GameCube games, too...
This is silly. There is no reason to dual release Zelda. That was a fluke and I doubt it would happen again.TP isn't the first time it's happened, there were some games released on both NES and SNES. I wouldn't be surprised if it happened yet again, though I do think there's less chance that it will since the Wii has sold far more than the GameCube.
Miyamoto has said that once he comes up with an idea for a gameplay mechanic, he only turns it into a new IP if he can't find a way to shoehorn it into an existing franchise (not in so many words, of course, but that was the basic idea), and he's the one calling the shots at EAD. Frankly, I don't really mind that they don't do new IPs that often as long as they continue to find interesting new ways to do existing ones. Then again, I'm a big believer in Miyamoto's philosophy that story in most types of games is, at best, unimportant, and that too much of it can be a detriment.

Miyamoto's has created a new IP almost every single generation.
GC - Pikmin
Wii - Wii series
Well it shouldn't be laughed at, because the Wii series is wildly more popular than Pikmin.
I've been wanting more new IP from Nintendo forever. They do provide some but the problem is that it's usually from their B-teams and it usually just isn't all that good. Realistically I want new IP from the big guns like EAD and IS. And it has to deliver big. Steel Diver is new IP but it looks like a glorified browser game. I think what I really want is a new world to explore. New characters, new setting, new mythology, new gameplay. The most notable new IP for this gen has been the Miis but the Miis have no identity. They're just in game avatars for you and me.
Last gen Pikmin was a great example of getting it right. Miyamoto and EAD making a brand new game with unique gameplay and a completely new world to discover.
All the praise of Pikmin comes from the sequel which was a masterpiece but the original was anything but. For all we know Steel Diver could have a sequel in 3 years from now that improves it the same way Pikmin 2 improved on Pikmin 1. But don't pretend that Steel Diver shouldn't count because your not interested in it when many others are and then praise the Pikmin series when it's first game was guilty of some of the same complaints people are using against Steel Diver.
We're not talking about respect. We're talking about new IP's. Just because you don't respect an IP doesn't take away the fact that it's NEW.
Steel Diver like Pikmin is a new IP from a Nintendo EAD studio and has had Miyamoto's involvment as well. Just because your not interested in it, doesn't mean others aren't.
The Miis are more or less not IP at all. They're just a visual avatar for the player himself. If anything it gives Nintendo the ability to avoid creating new characters altogether since they can just shove the Miis in there. Hell, they're doing that with the new Pilotwings.
I feel these two quotes demonstrate Nintendo's weakness in generating new IP. They do it so rarely that if you don't care for it specifically, you are SOL. If they were constantly cranking out new stuff then if you didn't like this, you might like that. There would be variety. But since we get about one a generation, you better hope you like what they come up with. I think the Wii Series is utterly lame. So personally the Wii is just the same old franchises because that one new franchise didn't do it for me. If Miyamoto and EAD busted out more than that, it wouldn't matter. It's similar to why third party support is important. Without it you end up relying on one company that can only do so much. So you have to wait months for any thing worthwhile but when it comes, if you don't like it, you've got to wait around for several more months for something else and you hope to hell you like that.
The big problem with Nintendo consoles over the last three generations has been a lack of variety. The weak third party support, the reliance on sequels, the family-friendly image, and currently one company trying to make titles for casuals and core gamers all contribute to it. Nintendo turns off third parties so they end up being the only game in town and then they themselves suck at providing any variety outside this very narrow scope of image and target audience. For all their talk about being innovative they are embarassingly safe and conventional. They cram every demographic into a melting pot and crank out something for the least common denominator. But if you want something truly interesting it just isn't offered anymore.
N64 - No new IP's but arguably the most impressive sequels; Mario 64, Mario Kart 64, OOT, Star Fox 64What about Wave Race? Although I s'pose that's technically Game Boy...
Until you play every single f*cking game from every single series on this list Ian, you have no right to say Nintendo lacks variety and creativity. There's a lot more to Nintendo then just the EAD studio's and you need to finally realize that.Ian's reply will most likely be "well, because Reggie's a shithead I can't play many of those games as they're available only in Europe or Japan."
There is no point to the complaints though. There are several games on the Wii that even the most hard headed can enjoy. It's just the fact that they...you know, dismiss them before they even attempt to understand them.
hi ,I'm the new come. :-* seemed so funny, I like this forum .
The characters: Midna, Rosalina, Adam Malkovich, etc. are all new IPs. Granted, they do appear in existing IPs, but they are new at least.
If you look at the PS3 you'll see games like Uncharted that are new to this generation that are specifically designed with the intention of them being a big series for Sony. It's one of their top devs working on it, at the expense of the existing IP they could be working on, and the game is pushed as a big must-own title for the system. The new IP is treated as the main course, not some side dish.
So I wouldn't exactly use Sony as a good example because they only make new IP's out of neccesaty, not because they offer greater creative freedom at the company. If Sony had more IP's that were as popular as Gran Turismo, I can guarantee you they would be just like Nintendo where the top series continue to get all the attention and marketing while the new IP's are made smaller events.
Nintendo is still resting on their laurels which is pretty lame.

Perhaps but that doesn't really matter as much to the gamer. We still get new IP from Sony and not so much from Nintendo. Yeah so maybe Sony NEEDS to do it more than Nintendo does but we still get something fresher and newer from them. We still benefit from the results regardless of the motivation. Nintendo is still resting on their laurels which is pretty lame.

Nintendo has made a number of new IPs. They just don't bring them to the West. Tact of Magic and Disaster Day of Crisis come to mind.
Nintendo will announce a new 2D Metroid for 3DS.
This would be nice but are 2D games going to be the norm for the 3DS? From what we've seen so far the emphasis is more on polygons.
I don't think we'll be seeing from Metroid for a while, since the games don't perform that well (comparatively) sales-wise. Of all the things possible at E3, that seems to be one of the least likely.
Did Muramasa actually perform well? I don't recall hearing word of the game makingXSeedIgnition any money.
Other M's sales performance was abysmal and even the great Reggie himself openly expressed his disappointment over how poorly it sold.
With that being the case, I'm sure Nintendo has got the message that consumers weren't happy with the directions this game took. Unfortunately, my fear with that is Nintendo may decide to just abandon Metroid entirely rather than do it the way we want them to.
It will just go the star fox route.
It will just go the star fox route.
So does that mean we're going to see a Metroid equivalent of Star Fox Adventures? :P
Other M's sales performance was abysmal and even the great Reggie himself openly expressed his disappointment over how poorly it sold.
No way will they abandon it entirely. It will just go the star fox route. Just barely being seen ever again.
Did Sakamoto want to go nuts with stupid teenage melodramatics with Super Metroid only to be stopped by Yokoi? Was Yokoi Sakamoto's leesh that kept him from doing stupid stuff?I think it is more likely that the hardware of the time was too limited to have the kind of story that the developers wanted. There was a Metroid manga around the time of Super Metroid I believe, and from what I can gather, Samus is pretty similar to how she behaves in Metroid Other M. So the game wouldn't really be a surprise or seem different if people had read it, but of course, no one in America really did.
G4 TV's Abbie Heppe controversially declared this a "sexist" portrayal of Samus, complaining that she "cannot possibly wield the amount of power she possesses unless directed to by a man". Heppe went so far as to criticize people who liked the game, stating she would never talk to them again.[59]
Before Other M, Samus seemed like a character you could respect for being brave and strong. But in Other M she cries and screams and it makes you think that she really has no business doing what she does. This is why Other M has been criticized as being sexist.

I agree with Ian. This game really does make me mad, and the more I think about it the madder it makes me. Samus was one of my childhood video game heroes, but its like Sakamoto took everything about her that made her a great character and waded it up into a ball and tossed it into the wastebasket. In Other M she is reduced to a child who isn't allowed to do anything without Adam's permission. In every other Metroid game if there was something that needed to be done she just did it. She didn't cry about it or scream or curl up into a fetal position like she does in Other M.
Diagnostic symptoms for PTSD include re-experiencing the original trauma(s) through flashbacks (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flashback_%28psychology%29) or nightmares (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nightmare), avoidance of stimuli associated with the trauma, and increased arousal (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arousal) – such as difficulty falling or staying asleep, anger (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anger), and hypervigilance (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hypervigilance). Formal diagnostic criteria (both DSM-IV-TR (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DSM-IV-TR) and ICD-10 (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/International_Statistical_Classification_of_Diseases_and_Related_Health_Problems)) require that the symptoms last more than one month and cause significant impairment in social, occupational, or other important areas of functioning.[1]
Oh not this bullsh!t again. The whole reason Samus listened to what Adam had to say is because he and his troops were on a search and rescue mission to find any survivors as well as gathering evidence on what really happend and he didn't want Samus using anything that might destroy evidence or accidently kill survivors. Since Samus has respect for Adam she agreed to only use her weapons when he feels it's right since she trust his judgment. Yeah, there were some parts that make no since like why it took to get the varia suit, but the whole reason behind this part of the storyline anyway is Sakamoto wanted to find a more logical reason for Samus to not have all her weapons from the start and this is what he thought was the most logical way. People have to stop getting so hung up over this part of the game since the entire reason is just to give Samus a new way of getting powerups as she progresses.
Now the Ridley was just bad writing on Sakamoto's part since she's dealt with Ridley two times before in his canon

You guys are gonna make me take M:OM out of it's case for the 1st time and actually play it just to see how bad it really is.
I would actually say that permanently closed door glitch epitomizes everything that sucks about Other M. Sakamoto's shitty ass design philosophy didn't just make a game that was piss poor, it actually broke the game and made it unplayable if you attempt to play it the way you would play any other Metroid game.
I've played a demo that was stuck in a room with a walk way up above that you had to go into a ball top reach. All you could do is go back to the previous room, but otherwise there was no way to advance from that point. Would that be where the glitch happens?
Sakamoto makes a Mario game. You try to jump on the first Goomba you see and the game locks up and bricks your Wii.

It's "bad" for a Metroid game and it shits all over the rest of the series. Otherwise, it's pretty fun. Look fondly back on Super Metroid or Metroid Prime... then lower your expectations. You'll be fine.
Hell, they should have localized them a long time ago. So Wii owners make Nintendo rich and Nintendo moves our games to another system and leaves us hanging with nothing? Don't they owe us a little better than that?How are you surprised? Traditionally, Nintendo's support slows down upon entering the 5th year on their home consoles. And I think it's a bit demanding to say Nintendo owes you anything. You're obviously the type that is never satisfied with anything. Even if Nintendo brought over both Xenoblade and The Last Story, you'd say they owed you something else... probably after trashing what horrible games Xenoblade and The Last Story are for not catering to your specific tastes.
Wii Winter Sports will be unveiled and announced at E3 of this year for a winter release. It will be motion plus enabled and include fencing and racquet ball.

This actually wouldn't surprise me at all. There's been at least one "Wii" game every year since the Wii came out. And I'd rather see this than Wii Music 2.

The only thing that makes me think Nintendo won't do this is that Sega's already put out their Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Winter Games game. Nintendo, being as paranoid as ever at the thought of doing anything someone else has already done, probably wouldn't do a game that superficially similar on the Wii. On the Wii 2, that's a different story.
And I think it's a bit demanding to say Nintendo owes you anything.
I don't know why Nintendo would willingly decide to hold back on releases when the whole point of being a business is to make a profit. You can't make a profit if you don't have products to sell. I'm sure they are making some profit on the hardware sales alone, but why just make a little profit when more could be made off the software as well? Not to mention the fact that software boosts hardware sales, so even if their logic is to only make profit on the hardware they would still want there to be software in order to push the hardware.
The only policy I see is the same one we've seen for years: not to announce a game way ahead of it's released date.
Not announcing games ahead of E3 obviously means they are going third party. Wii is the blue ocean Titanic run aground on an iceberg of disinterest, and hardcore gamers are Leo DiCaprio.
Just let go already, Jack.
How is making an innovative console that everyone wants to play --- scratch that -- wants to and can play half-assing it?

Because even though the Wii is an innovative console that everyone wants to play and can play, it isn't a console that has enough of the sort of games we WANT to play.Speak for yourself.

I don't regret buying the Wii. It just has failed to live up to the hype and the promises that were made by Reggie, Miyamoto, Iwata, and others. We were promised there wouldn't be a game drought like there was on past Nintendo consoles and that they were taking measures to ensure a drought didn't occur. 5 years later and the Wii is still facing a game drought, so Nintendo lied, and if a Wii owner does have buyer's remorse they have every right to have it because they may have purchased it based on those promises which Nintendo failed to deliver.
Need I also point out that even among the games that were delivered there are examples which were extremely disappointing. Wii Music and Metroid: Other M immediately come to mind.
And as for Xenoblade and The Last Story, honestly, how confident are you that those games would sell enough in America to justify the significant cost of localizing them? I really hope they will bring them over, but there's one thing you can be damned sure of: if Nintendo isn't confident of that, they will absolutely not do it. They are a very conservative company, and it's very rare for them to take unnecessary risks.
Not announcing games ahead of E3 obviously means they are going third party. Wii is the blue ocean Titanic run aground on an iceberg of disinterest, and hardcore gamers are Leo DiCaprio.

At least 7 out of every 10 applauds I give are to Zap. The rest of you need to step up your game.
Probably because handhelds have lower productions costs and less work.
Reggie doesn't side-step questions; the questions side-step Reggie.
A niche title with a specific audience isn't valid if Nintendo doesn't believe it will be able to make back the cost of localizing and manufacturing and distributing the game. No sane company, especially not Nintendo, is going to take an action it believes will cause it to lose money with no upside.

I hate to say it, both because I wish it weren't true and because I'm not going to be popular here for saying it, but I think the Wii is a lost cause. Nintendo is certainly still capable of putting out great games for it, but I hope for their sake that they're further along on its successor than it seems like they are.
It is not normal to deal with droughts like this all the time. The normal thing is to have so many games to choose from you couldn't possibly dedicate time to them all and you can be as picky as you want and still find tons of stuff to play.
The thing is I personally don't care if Nintendo localizes those titles. I have a PS3.
But there's not much they can do about the 3rd parties. Its like you have a Birthday party and its a given that your close friends and your family are going to be there, but as for everyone else, you can send the invites but they have no obligation to attend. So you might end up with a really lame party, but what the hell can you do?
So no matter what Nintendo does they can't win with you, because even if they do everything you feel they should you've already moved on to the PS3 and they've basically lost you for good.
Nintendo is hosting a party that is going to be lame to begin with. That is the problem. That's why it is mostly their own fault. They host a party that caters specifically to themselves but is of little interest to everyone else.
But I feel for the odd core gamer who only owns a Wii. Maybe none exist anymore
HD graphics alone would not have made the Wii as powerful as its competitors. Imagine an HD Wii that still has the same problem of friend codes, low RAM, a weak processor, only 512MB of internal storage, and so on. How would everyone here feel about the Wii if it had HD graphics but still was exactly the same in every other respect? If anything adding HD graphics might have made the console even less powerful, because it would have sapped what limited processing ability the hardware had into HD graphics and left even less available for other things.I believe when people say they want a HD Wii, it means a system that's up to par with the 360 or PS3 -- not just by having HD graphics and everything else stay the same. Sheesh... you people read into things way too literally. :P
Although HD would be a nice feature, it is far from the only feature the Wii is in need of, and in my opinion among the things the Wii is lacking HD output ranks pretty low on the list of priorities. I'd rather see the processor and RAM seriously beefed up and I would also like to see an internal HDD provided so that 3rd parties can actually bring multiplatform games without having to water them down and strip stuff out as with COD Black Ops where things like Killcams and certain zombie modes and various other things were stripped out just because the hardware couldn't handle it. Merely being able to display in HD would not solve this problem whatsoever in any way shape or form.
And probably me. I'd likely get called such even though I don't like labels. Though technically I'm not Wii-only since I own non-current systems that I occasionally buy games for. There's been plenty on Wii I've enjoyed, and I buy games for an older system when I want something else. Unfortunately I'm a bit of an oddity... with both of those points, so I can understand the complaints.But I feel for the odd core gamer who only owns a Wii. Maybe none exist anymore
Nope. I exist. You're talking about me. :(

A 25th anniversary zelda edition 3DS bundle. That comes with Ocarina of time 3DS
- 3DS price drop and a new color for Holiday 2011.
Here are mine in a nutshell:I disagree with the above.
- The 3DS Mario game will be called Super Mario Galaxy 3DS.
- Zelda: Skyward Sword WILL meet its Holiday 2011 release date.
- Project Cafe won't be given a final name.
- 3DS price drop and a new color for Holiday 2011.
Now for my "Non-tendo" predictions...
- No Pokemon Gray Version.
- The HD remake of Final Fantasy VII will be shown.
- Microsoft won't bounce back from their showing last year.
Bold? Yes. Feel free to agree/disagree with me. :P: :
- Mega Man X9 will be announced.
I think Treasure should do StarFoxYou haved played MP3 yet... a shame.
whoever did the last F-Zero should do F-Zero (Sega dev)
Retro should work on something else. I'm sure they can find another franchise to revive that would suit them better. I keep hearing that StarTropics would be a good fit, but I've never played that game and I don't know what it's all about, so I can't say one way or another.
I stil haven't played through MP3 yet, but an HD Metroid from Retro could be a good thing.
Only let them run wild this time. 1st person, 3rd person, side view, 2.5D. Throw it all in there.
Somehow Dixie Kong will appear at this years E3, either a new DK for Cafe or in a new Smash for Cafe. This avatar does not go down until I get some Dixie Kong action!The Funhouse thread almost writes and fills itself.
Well... I'm was stuck the boss of MP1 and somewhere near the end of MP2, so I never felt that I deserved to start MP3 until I atleast see the final boss of MP2.Just watch a speedrun of the game. It'll still give you the final boss and the ending as well. I could not beat the final boss for some reason on MP2 and went with this route. I felt perfectly fine playing MP3 afterwards. :)
I'm fairly sure I beat MP2. Though the most I remember from it is some flashback like scenes and hating switching between worlds eventually.Well...
