Metal Gear Solid Collection Vita has sold worse than MGS3 3D. And the latter was released at a more expensive price.

It's quite showing that most directors of Nintendo's main games have been around since the NES days. It's actually quite common in most main Japanese game developers.


Wii Music was not a bad idea. It wasn't even that bad. People just expected a guitar hero killer and the bad rap it gets comes from the dodgy E3 reveal plus the gaming media treating it as an unborn fetus.

It'd be the **** if you played during the slave days and took out white plantation owners in brutal ways and then fucked their daughters.

Sounds like a Japanese Eroge game.

And Vita drops like a rock again.  Right now, there isn't a announced game in the systems future planned for release in Japan that's anywhere close in popularity that Persona 4 was.

So the next several months are going to be very brutal for the Vita.

Well next week sees the release of the white Vita and the MGS Collection so there may be another increase.


And I believe in August(?) some sort of rhythm game called Natsune Miku is released. I think the last PSP game in the series sold 400k in Japan. But your right, Vita is in desperate need of some game announcements. And we thought the first year of the 3DS was dry.

It was more Activision running Tony Hawk and Guitar Hero into the ground more than Neversoft. We already know that Activision is going to eventually run CoD into the ground. It is going to hit franchise fatigue very soon.

Looks like Nintendo now partially owns the Fatal Frame/Project Zero IP.

Goldeneye had polish? lol


If that isn't the very definition of being "blinded by nostalgia" I don't know what is. I'll give you Perfect Dark, but not Goldeneye at all.

So your saying that in 1997 when Goldeneye came out you thought it was a godawful game with unbearable graphics and gameplay? Polished doesn't necessarily mean that the game will hold up for most people anymore


Wow

But Chozo the 3DO and Jaguar were as flawed as the Saturn, Jaguar had the crazy ass controller no one liked and 3DO it was the case it didn't have the games and it had an insane entry price($600/$500 right?). I suppose you could theorize that developers that flocked to Sony would have went with Atari or 3DO but history would suggest that they would have stuck with Nintendo and Sega. Hudson and SNK had already tried prior to 3DO and the Jaguar to enter the console market and they ultimately failed. Sony were a special case, they were at the right place at the right time and had the right hardware engineers to make the Playstation.


In regards to the 3DS remake of LTTP or Majora's Mask wouldn't logic dictate that Grezzo could reuse assests from OoT3D while Anouma's team makes an original Zelda 3ds?

Doesn't surprise me in the slightest. Retro has been bleeding staff since the beginning. They are really living up to Rare's reputation of staff turnover. The thing is they have been replacing their ex staff with developers from other highly well regarded studios. What surprises me is that Nintendo sent people from NST to Retro to help out, I wonder what NST is doing, I highly doubt that they are working on another Mario vs Donkey Kong. They did hire that co founder of Sonic earlier this year, I swear they are working on something.

Gears of War isn't a FPS. Retro are probably working on a FPS or some new IP of some sort. Anyway would you really trust Retro with a multiplayer FPS, didn't the multiplayer in Echoes suck?

So just because a game is targeted at a different demographic it isn't a game? That's a complete BS argument, the Wii series are video games whether you like it or not, they still take time to make it's not like Nintendo can press a magic button and a "Wii__" game pops out. Uncle Bob's list is listing the GAMES that Nintendo published for the Wii, nothing more or nothing less. NPC games are games published by Nintendo for the Wii.


Also no where in his list does it state these games are 'new'. You can't dispute the facts, Nintendo has published more games for the Wii than any system since the NES.

Nintendo Gaming / Re: What game series do you think won't be coming to the Wii U?

« on: June 12, 2012, 03:13:01 AM »

Nintendo has basically said that they will not continue the Mother series without Itoi, who has said he has no plans to continue the series. So unless Itoi decides to make another game (which I doubt since I think I read that he had to be dragged back to finish Mother 3) the series is dead. As I understand Itoi was burned by the development cycle during Mother 3 which started as a 64 game. According to Wikipedia he has no reluctance for someone else to continue the series so I guess it's up for Nintendo to find someone to make Mother 4.

Nintendo Gaming / Re: Poo: North American delays

« on: June 11, 2012, 05:57:56 AM »

Are the demos uploaded at the discretion of Nintendo or the publishers?


Also I don't know if you know but Square Enix is distributing Heroes of Ruin in the US only, NoE is the distributor for Europe and by extension all PAL regions. So this might be the reason for the delay and if so it's because of Square Enix, not Nintendo.

Well I think the patent for the insanity effects is under joint ownership of Nintendo and Dyack. Not sure about the actual IP though.

Non Specific Action Figure will be a pack in.


I doubt there will be a vertical stand. I'm pretty sure Miyamoto said they are marketing it as a horizontal standing console so it differs to the Wii.

Another factor to think about is the cases that the software will be distributed in. Nintendo would be making a catastrophic mistake if they stick to white. If the cases are a different colour and the writing on the spines are in a different font most people would understand that these are games for a new console.
