People have to remember there's a reason why Nintendo is launching the system with NSMB U, Wii Fit U and Nintendo Land. These are all sequels or spiritual sequels to some of the Wii's most popular games that sold over 20 million each. Most of the people who who bought the Wii is guaranteed to be interested in at least one of these games. Well when they go to buy one of these this holiday they'll find out the Wii U is a new system.Very astute. And they have Pikmin 3 to satiate the people who don't like these titles. Even though each of them is looking pretty nice, even from a "casual" standpoint. I really think Nintendo's trying to make every game have a little bit more "gamey". Wii Fit U, Nintendoland...
Or they'll get home and wonder why their Wii isn't playing NSMB U and Wii Fit U, call the Nintendo hotline and hear Iwata laugh at them.
Quake and Goldeneye really shouldn't be compared with each other. One's an arcadey twitch shooter, while the other is Goldeneye. Go and play the original Deus Ex and tell us you also hate that game. I know I definitely couldn't get into it after playing it two years ago, and it's the same reason you can't play Goldeneye.Learning curve and difficulty curve are not the same thing.
No one's bloody patient enough to figure **** out for themselves these days. End! We've all been babied through incredibly pretty-yet incredibly non-interactive FPS games for the past decade and it's sent the genre way back. But that's my opinion, and obviously sales for those select few explosive set piece-driven shooters are through the roof, but whether or not they're successful due to ease of play or merely the appealing action sequences is anyone's guess.
The original A Boy and his Blob is totally a **** game compared to Super Mario bros.!!! Accessibility, right? Trying to make a game as appealing to on-lookers at a first glance as possible. Quake is incredibly easy to pick up and get in to, where Goldeneye needed those two old words no one uses anymore, learning curve.
Nintendo has mentioned many 'o times recently--as recently as a week ago when referring to the WiiU Zelda in fact--that they're trying to make their games as accessible as possible. No learning curves!!! Great for you, someone who grew up in such a time, but for the rest of us? It sends shivers down our spines, as we find sticking with complex games with layers of depth rewarding when digging deeper. Most people are just happy with runnin' and gunnin' though, yay. -___-
WALL OF TEXT OVER.
tl;dr Back in my day, etc...
Really? Huh. That's disappointing. But we do have 4 on the way.I believe they are actually working on an HD upgrade of Monster Hunter Tri. Maybe he thinks that because they are only doing an HD upgrade, they aren't planning to do a proper PS3/Wii U Monster Hunter.Just makes me sad there wont be an HD monster HunterThey don't want to do HD Monster Hunter? I needs a quote....
But I understand why they don't want to do it. They seem to be about building up partnerships more often. That and Im sure they understand they can't out bid Microsoft at least.

THEY SHOULD PORT TOY STORY TO WII U WITH BETTER GRAPGHICVSThis man's a genius.
I wonder if it really is largely based on the 64 engine. I'd be quite impressed if it was- I mean, 64 had great physics and all, but if they kept persistent with that engine up until now... come to think of it, I've never really felt like the control in Sunshine or Galaxy or were much different from 64...oh yeah Mario Galaxy looks great, i had forgot about that. I wonder how scalable that engine is? As in being scaled up?Well, considering it's likely based on the SuperMario64 engine, I'm going to say pretty damn scalable with some tweaking for feature sets.
I think the concept works well enough as a family system to get western draw. It's not JUST the coffee table idea that is the draw- it's the gameplay mechanics, the connectivity, everything. Multiple accounts proves that a family aspect is being employed, and I think that most Wii U's will find themselves in the living room. That's not to say there won't be individual Wii U's floating around households, but its concept is very much computer-like, with the multiple accounts, ability to display a variety of media, and so forth. I don't think it's too narrow in its focus group.Ian Sane: You are talking from a Western perspective. Here in South Korea, most families only have one TV, and one central living area in there place where the family converges. The same is most likely true in Japan.
So yeah, where in the west we have spent more time and money on TV to the point we must have 2-4 tis in our houses...it isn't so in other countries. Nor, should it be so.
That's what I figure. But Nintendo wants to sell this thing in the West as well. The American market is over twice the size of Japan's. If the big selling point really only applies to the Eastern market, that's some pretty narrow thinking on Nintendo's part. If they want to be a worldwide company they can't do things based entirely on how things are in Japan. I think that's a problem with Japanese companies in general.
