TalkBack / Re: Nintendo's Stock Price Reaches Two Year High

« on: July 25, 2013, 01:05:45 AM »

I would not doubt that Nintendo's stock prices have grow is because of digital sales. Remember that every time someone buys a Nintendo game off of the eShop that is all money into Nintendo's purse. There is no retail cut in the sale. This is why I hope Nintendo embraces more deals and purchase incentives for their eShop games. If I buy Steel Diver for $4.99 then they give me $9.99 in credit for purchase of something else.

What would have made this game even better is if Nintendo offered action figures for it in the style of Skylanders or trading cards similar to those of Kid Icarus Uprising.

Nintendo Gaming / Re: Wii U in Review (News & Rumor Consolidation)

« on: July 20, 2013, 01:26:49 PM »

Strider, developed by Double Helix for Capcom, is currently not coming to Wii U.

Ultra Street Fighter IV is currently not coming to Wii U (or PS4/One), but may come out for Vita and 3DS.

Soul Calibur II HD Online is currently not coming to Wii U. Obviously, no Link, but seems like Heihachi and Spawn are selectable in both versions.

Wii U fans are sad.

Not having Strider on Wii U is kind of a let down.

Considering how much money it probably costs Nintendo and third parties to put their games onto the Wii U VC there are times when I wish Nintendo would offer a Steam-style discount around say the couple days before and after thanksgiving. It would be nice if there was a unified eShop system account as well. The ability to remote VC titles on my 3DS XL would be nice, too.

Rockstar was going to put Max Payne and GTA 3 on the Gamecube but cancelled because it had less RAM memory than the PS2.

What was the easy excuse on the GameCube? Mostly traditional controller, hardware on par with the competition, why didn't they support it?

The discs held 1.5 GBs compared to the PS2 and Xbox's 8 GB discs.

I am no expert on technology but I kind of figure that third parties will simply modify the engines they already have made for Xbox 360 and PS3 for the PS4 and Xbone. This will make it cheaper to develop games for the PS4 and XBone. It will also make it easier to port games over to the Wii U.

Nintendo Gaming / Re: What Nintendo could have done for year one (but can still implement!)

« on: July 17, 2013, 10:09:38 PM »

Here is a list of things off the top of my head that Nintendo needs to do to make the Wii U successful:

• Cut the price down to $299.99
• Money hat certain strategic game developers (Square-Enix with FFXV and KH 3)
• Task Retro, Platinum, NLG, and Monster Games with revitalizing old franchises and IPs.
• Purge the normal Wiis from retail shelves to avoid brand confusion.
• Cut the price of the Wii U Pro controller from $49.99 to $19.99 or $29.99
• Hire more staff to accommodate bigger game projects.
• Extend an olive branch to third parties that have shied away from Nintendo consoles (Bethesda, for example)[size=78%] [/size]

On the subject of Gamepad revisions, it would be nice if Nintendo took some design ques from Sony's Vita. That thing looks nice. However, this would raise the cost, but what I am talking about is a form facto of the Vita with the size of the Gamepad.

I agree with the point of this topic. The thing that the Wii U needs besides a price cut is games. Nintendo needs to contract all of its western partners to make such games as Star Fox, Metroid, and F-Zero to name a few. They need to money hat certain strategic third party developers (T2/Rockstar and GTA V), but not the whole industry.

Considering how cash strapped SEGA is at this point does anyone think it would be a good idea for Nintendo to finance Shenmue 3 as a Wii U exclusive?

Nintendo Gaming / Re: Something That Chrono Trigger Fans Will Love

« on: July 17, 2013, 01:42:57 AM »

I concur. That is indeed a pretty awesome remake of that intro. It's a pity that Square-Enix shuts down any fan attempt to remake CT, though. We had a really cool-looking 3D remake a few years back that was looking promising until S-E shut them down.  There are times I wish S-E would just remake CT and get it over with, and then I remember that the game was perfect to begin with and S-E could only **** it up like they did with the DS port's 2 bonus dungeons.

Honestly, I have grown to dislike most of S-E's games in the past five to eight years and consider Chrono Trigger to be a product of a golden era. There is no way they could remake this game with the same quality as the original game. Besides, it would not be on a Nintendo console any way.

I would have bought DeadPool on the Wii U....

I probably would have been the only one, but I'd like to think that I am worth the effort!!  [/Sadness]

All of those games that I listed I would have loved to have been able to play on Wii U's Gamepad.

To add insult to injury, look at all of the good games that could have come to Wii U but didn't:

• Max Payne 3
• Spec Ops: The Line
• Bioshock Infinite
• Metal Gear Solid Reveangance
• Tomb Raider
• Dead Space 3
• Remember Me
• Fuse
• Dead Pool
• TMNT: Out of the Shadows
• Castlevania: Lords of Shadow

Nintendo Gaming / Re: Adam Sessler thinks Reggie and Iwata should be fired

« on: July 14, 2013, 04:38:52 PM »

one of the big problems is peoples levels of patience. As of today, i don't care that much. I have a wii u, its not being used. It will get used though. I just hope output increases within the next 2 years. Last year pikmin 3 looked great, this year X, smashbros, and mario kart looked great. Everything else did not impress much. Hopefully this is a learning curve they get over, and stay over. What frustrates me is they should have been developing HD games starting six years ago. They may not have had a system that was HD, but all the competitors did. So while they may not have been able to release some games, they could have in the background queued some HD games and had them ready for launch.

Now I understand Nintendo focuses on two systems at a time, and this is a problem. I've mentioned before that one day I hope they just have a handheld/console hybrid. I probably wont get a 3ds, but the thing after that will probably be swell.

as far as Nintendo ever going 3rd party...at some point hardware is going to be ridiculously powerful. At that point it might be better to only have one console on the market. If Nintendo got behind another console it would surely be the dominant console at that point. Nintendo would lose a ton of licensing money though. The question is would they make up for that in online sales of old games...or would that just be ruined by piracy?

I do have a lot of patience for the Wii U. However, I find it depressing to see so many quality third party titles not coming to the Wii U, and the fact that it is not selling gang busters. I just want to see all of the good third party games come to Wii U.

Over the years of watching Adam Sessler display some of his opinions about Nintendo it appears that he sees them as being archaic. Granted that Nintendo has allowed themselves to be in a situation where they have poorly adapted to the current trends of the gaming industry.

I do not think that they need to be fired. However, I do think that they need to be called into the principal's office and be given a set of guidelines to straighten the Wii U out.
