Nintendo Gaming / Re: Bayonetta 2, now with twice as much Bayonetta

« on: August 28, 2014, 04:36:53 PM »

I know my last forum topic was a bad idea (I'll own up to it) but here's another thought I had on Bayonetta 2. What if Nintendo released Bayonetta 1 on the eshop today for a price tag of 9.99 as of today, and then were to offer anyone who buys it part two for 29.99-39.99? We would be having something to play on the Wii U atm, would bring about lets-plays on YouTube which would be advertisement for the game right there, and would offer savings to players who buy the game digitally?

Nintendo Gaming / Random Pokemon Battle Roster

« on: August 05, 2014, 11:03:02 PM »

Just a random thought I had while playing Pokemon with the lady. Wouldn't it be cool if when you battle a friend or someone online you could have the game randomly choose for you a set of Pokemon for you to battle with from your Pokedex? Lets take it a step further. Have the setup evolve Pokemon you have in your collection for just that match and even randomize its moves. After the battle, you can see what your Pokemon evolved into an what abilities it was given from the replay. I think it could be a fun way to see what moves your Pokemon can learn through TMs, breeding, evolution, etc.

Nintendo Gaming / Bayonetta 2 (should be) delayed

« on: June 20, 2014, 10:17:31 PM »

I know the title alone is going to upset people but please hear me out. I want to see Bayonetta 2 sell well enough to lead to a third entry but I don't see this game alone being a system seller. Granted, more people are now buying Wii U for Mario Kart but I think we can all agree that we will see a surge of console sales this holiday season with the release of Smash on the console.
I applaud Nintendo for reviving the property and giving us the game bundled with the original and even including skins of Nintendo characters, but feel that there is one thing that they could do to help this game reach its full potential... including Bayonetta herself, as a unlockable fighter for Smash.
What if Nintendo delayed the release of Bayonetta 2 in order to get more people aware of the games existence by introducing her as a fighter in Smash and THEN released the game in spring of 2015?

TalkBack / Re: X Gameplay Revealed, Battle System Based on Xenoblade Chronicles

« on: February 13, 2014, 07:56:41 PM »

This game looks incredible. Barring the existence of a new Metroid, X is probably the game most likely to get me to buy a Wii U.

Also, why would you ever want to leave the mech? I mean, I assume it overheats or becomes unusable if it takes too much damage or something, right? Because otherwise I'd be flying about in that thing constantly.

Maybee its works on a cool-down. Or whoever builds their dps up to a certain point gets to ride in it for a short time.

The characters were labelled "Player 1" "Player 2" "Player 3" do we know if this game is going to be a multiplayer game? Or are we just looking at default names given to the npcs?

Anyone else watch the premier for the new Power Rangers show? The whole time I kept thinking how everything I was watching would make for the perfect Dynasty Warrior clone.

Nintendo Gaming / Re: Do you regret buying a Wii U?

« on: January 29, 2014, 10:00:39 PM »

I split the cost of a Wii U with my brother when the Wind Waker Bundle came out. The price I paid for it was great and I have plenty to play on it (Zelda, Super Mario Wii U, Monster Hunter Tri,) and I am going to be picking up Donkey Kong Tropic Freeze when that comes out. I also saw at work that Wounderful 101 dropped in price to 29.99. I am going to have to pick that one up soon.

This is cool and unexpected, but I care more about being able to download them to my 3DS.

...wait...this is JUST for the Wii U V/C? Oh come on Nintendo!

Awesome! I am happy to see that Nintendo is moving forward with getting more systems on the V/C. HOWEVER.....I do NOT want to only see 4-6 games released for the DS for 2014 then nothing else. Nintendo needs to open their "Disney Vault" of software and make it so that I can purchase any 1st party Nintendo title without issue.

Nintendo Gaming / Where is the Virtual Console that we deserve?

« on: January 17, 2014, 01:08:27 AM »

I really don't understand Nintendo on this one. They have the ability to release the GBA library, GameCube library, and even Wii games on its V/C yet were lucky if we get something one release from them on the V/C on a monthly basis! When the 3DS dropped in price Nintendo had V/C games released for the early investors as part of their ambassadors program... those games included Game Boy Advance games yet to this day not a single Game Boy Advance game is on the Virtual Console. What are they waiting for? Does it not bother them that anyone who wants to play some of Nintendo's classic games has to resort to buying pre-owned copies?
Here are some examples:


Fire Emblem on the Game Boy Advance can be found on ebay pre owned for an average cost of 29.99.
Zelda the Minish Cap can be found on ebay from 18 to 38 dollars.
Meteroid Zero Mission goes anywhere from 25 dollars to 60 dollars.
Mario and Luigi Super Star Saga I found from 5 to 81 dollars.


I am sure that some would argue that Game Boy Advance games can easily be emulated or still be found cartridge alone for relatively cheap. For me, I would much rather prefeer being able to repurchase these games from the 3ds Eshop for 8 dollars a piece. The alternative is playing on old hardware that is locked away in a closet and buying the games pre owned where Nintendo will not see a dime from the sales.
Also, after now playing more of Wind Waker HD, I would really like to be able to go back and play GameCube games again. I know some people will make the point of "Go fetch your GameCube then." My problem is that my monitors only have VGA/HDMI ports, and due to little siblings, some of those Gamecube games I had are not in the best of shape. It would be so convenient for me if Nintendo would just have the GameCube section on the Wii U eshop already... My wallet is ready!

« on: January 02, 2014, 06:03:50 PM »

They need the genres that are popular now or the ones that will be popular a year or two from now.  They need to follow or lead and they're doing neither.  They're just being old and out-of-touch.

Nintendo DoTA, and Nintendo Minecraft it must be

« on: January 02, 2014, 03:30:08 PM »

Although I am a fan of RPGs, especially more recent entries on Nintendo's console (Xenoblade ftw) if Nintendo is going to invest in any game specifically for mass appeal then it should be Minecraft.
 I propose Nintendo fully funding a Wii U version but giving it the Nintendo treatment, creating a final product similar to the Nintendo themed Tetris DS.
JRPGS aren't as relevant as they were in the PS1/PS2 era but if you want a game that is appealing to the masses right now..... its Minecraft.

General Gaming / No Phantasy Star Online 2 in the states?

« on: December 26, 2013, 02:34:27 AM »

So hear we go again, with another game that is already translated into english but due to fears of low sales will not have a release in the states. This is a shame too because I really wanted to get back into the world of Phantasy Star. I loved playing the Episode 1 and 2 collection back on the GameCube, and had a blast playing Phantasy Star IV on the Sonic Genisis Collection.

I'm hoping now that Sega does a Steam-style flash sale on the Wii U shop for this title ($29.99 anyone?) I would definitely pick this one up if it does for the Yoshi themed DLC.

Nintendo Gaming / Re: Something Something Wii U Successor Somethng

« on: December 18, 2013, 12:16:44 AM »

A hybrid will not happen as that shrinks Nintendo's market. With one device, they have to now compete against all consoles and handhelds and PC and phones/tablets. Sony has console and handheld. Microsoft has Xbox and PC. Nintendo is just to have one area?

How would offering one device that gives consumers the best of both worlds shrink Nintendo's market? There is a difference between choosing to shrink and re sizing your company to reflect on what you can actually deliver to the public.
If we look back on recent history, the big problem Nintendo faced with the Wii in 2009 was that they needed to start developing titles for the 3DS and the Wii U, which forced them to start cutting support on their current home console. It was really fun waiting on one last big Wii title and seeing games like Xenoblade not even be brought to the states without consumer outcry. 
With the Wii U, they launched the console with only a handful games because they were not ready for the HD market, and of course, they were also making games for the 3DS! The Wii U is now starting to appeal to consumers with titles like Super Mario 3D World and Pikmin, but these should have been launch titles! Because Nintendo has stretched themselves too thin the console is one year behind on releases.

I want to ask if anyone has any idea or can point me to any charts as to how well the Wii U has been selling overall within the last two months. I ask this because where I work we have been selling the Wii U very strong as of late, especially with the inclusion of Super Mario Bros into the console.

One of Nintendo's biggest problems this generation is releasing a steady flow of games on two separate consoles. Nintendo can do away with this problem by having only one console to work with. Why not have a beefed up, more powerful 3DS handheld that can also be played on the television using an adapter?

Nintendo Gaming / Pokemon should have added new game plus

« on: November 03, 2013, 12:15:42 AM »

I completed the game a few days ago and now I feel that there is not much for me to do. I don't normally play Pokemon games but this one I played till the end. Now that I beat the game however, I have no direction of where to go. I'm sure someone could jump in and say "go farm shiny pokemon!" but I would still like to have some direction of where to go and what to complete. Maybe I am missing something totally obvious in the game that will squeeze more hours out of it... help me out here

I would like to think that the evaluation process Nintendo has will be more open to the fact that Nintendo now has digital distribution methods for their games. I can see why you would not print X amount of copies of a game with a select market if your return is unlikely but I would think that if Diaster were to have been released now and only through a digital outlet then it could turn out profitable for Nintendo.
