Nintendo Gaming / RE: Matt's latest: "Revolution as a console is merely a vehicle for the new controller"

Im sure he knows more, the editorial's opening paragraph confirms my point he's a graphic's whore and a big one, yet he seems really excited about the console, and given past editorials and mailbags, the change of attitude towards Nintendo is huge, The rev did the imposible, it changed Matt! could it change Ian!? stay tuned

haha Ian, your complains are basically that Nintendo's business plans dont revolve around your tastes, well, tough luck! if you think that the waterpack was lousy thats you, Nintendo though it was great and I love it too, too bad you didnt like it but what are we going to do? Every single Nintendo game cant appeal to you or be perfect in your eyes, is that simple, yet they offer so much variety that you must find something that you can like, like Pikmin, why are you so pessimistic? why do you think the DS and Revolution wont get the next "Pikmin" whether is a great sequel or another groundbreaking franchise? well, of course Nintendo isnt going to only make ground breaking new franchises and sequels that are all acceptable to you, duh! we are still going to see Mario's parties and Pokemon rehashes as far as the eye can see and some games that are going to seem as "forced innovation" to you, but they sell so they'll be there, it shouldnt be such a terrible concern, we are getting Metroids, Zeldas and even some new experiments, the fact that Nintendo is indeed broadening  how games are played increase the chances that you'll find more games that you or I or anyone will like.

Sorry Ian, but the "hardcores" you are talking about made Nintendo think that they wanted sequels and spinoffs without any originality, after all they were the people who cried when the Wind Waker was revealed, and still dont like the style, Nintendo is not going to risk over a jaded fan-base who indeed wants pure sequels and spinoffs and is terrified by something new and innovative, to the point of calling it a "no - game".

their sequels are very innovative and always try to do new things, whats the response? " OH NO THEY ARE RUINING THE SERIES" I perfectly remember you complaining about Mario Kart and your fear thatt the might try to push that "gimm!cky" touch screen, and how relieved you were that there was no touchscreen input, to the point that it push you to buy a DS if Im not mistaken, or at the very least Im sure it was one of the reasons for your purchase. So sadly you are guilty of your own critisism, have yo tried to put yourself in Nintendo's shoes? why give new things to a group of people who simply seem to dont want it at all?

besides, whos to say that one of those "no games" cant be as great as Pikmin? thats the thing about new innovative things, you might like them or not, and calling them "no game" because they arent easily typecasted into the so called "genres" of gaming is stupid, the term "no game" and "no gamer" at the end dont mean a damn thing, people play games, they are going to like some types of games and dont  like some other types and thats it.

But Ian, the DS is constantly and constantly proving that they were right, if they wanted they couldve just released GBA 2 with improved graphics and people wouldve bought it, unfortunately, it wouldve been the same people who got a GBA, now with the DS there are seriously elderly people playing with it, and its not just Japan, Europe is seeing something very similar, and also, they have released games for just about everyone, the got Nintendogs andBrain Training, but also Mario Kart and Metroid Hunters. So I dont see why you should be so pessimistic about the outcome of the Revolution.

Matt said that because he is a graphic's whore, but I have no reason to think that Rev games will be graphically "inferior" to games like Gears of War in the same scale than for instance N64 graphics compared to GC, which is what everyone thinks its going to end up happening. It will be in the worst case like comparing xbox and GC. At this point with the current technology, the limit is in the developers and how much time and money they want to invest on graphics (because they arent cheap and fast to produce) more than a technology limit like in previous eras.

Nintendo Gaming / RE:so does your Game Cube remind you of your NES at all?

« on: March 08, 2006, 04:49:48 AM »

My parents, uncles and aunts are nowhere near the little thing (or any gaming device for that matter), so Id say that although I love my GC it cant compare to the NES, the console seriously made every one I know to play games.

Not to mention the lack of a pirate korean cartridge with 64 games which were all awesome ah, the good old days...

Thumbstrap FTW! its like a better analog stick for this game or something, I dont know how to describe it, but its really great, takes a little to get used to it, but once you are there, its pretty much like keyboard/mouse.

The only thing I dont like about it is that it seems that the thumbstrap scratches the screen more easily, and the thumbstrap doesnt cover the whole thumb so its also very easy to get those ugly greasy fingerprints on the screen.

Its impossible that we are going to get both Mario and Metroid at launch, its just too good to be true.

Where did people get this idea anyway? no one has ever said both of these games are going to be launch titles.

Bah, generic my eye. Ocarina of time is a beautiful game in every respect: from the color choices to the creature designs. If you want generic, look at Morrowwind. Or Everquest.

Oh, and Link to the Past is fugly. There, I said it.

which is perfectly fine, because is a matter of taste, what gets on my nerves is the "hardcore" zelda gamers who's number one game for the snes or even overall was a link to the past, but cant stand the Wind Waker style, thats just absurd, it makes no sense at all.

Theres also all this hands on impressions on several gaming news sites, many who have been very anti nintendo in the past, like ign and 1-up, and all, and I mean absolutely all of them have been positive about the controller's capabilities, even Matt changed a lot, his only whining has been about HD, but the controller? not a single complain.

The way I see it, most people think that doing OoT clone would be enough, but it simply isnt, the impression Ocarina made was so strong that I can understand what Ian and Smash Brother think, but if Nintendo wouldve just made Zelda with this "realistic" style for GC you wouldve end up dissapointed, because what made Ocarina so big wasnt the generic fantasy "realistic" lack of art direction, was the innovation in bringing a 3D world to life, and having the Wind Waker in realistic graphics wouldnt have the slightest chance to achieve the same effect. Theres a reason why we are geting a wolf and Midna and crazy cellshaded world and god knows what other new things for Twilight Princess.

If Nintendo is insane enough to really make Zelda a "violent" game Ill fully blame Ian and all the people who whined so much about the Wind Waker style, and I will beat them to death with a baseball bat on top of that ok not really

Its a really far-fetched idea, but the mere thought of it made my stomach to revolt, the translator really had the poorest choice of words, because I still cant believe a Nintendo Rep said Zelda was going to have a "violent" anything.

In any case, this is a translated interview. The word "violent" could easily be poor translation.

It was part of the demo.

Theres no such thing as recent gameplay videos, the most recent thing we've seen in motion is last E3 stuff.

I will never expect the shadow syndrome to spread to Nintendo, but things like this remote functionality rumor * has surprise me completly, I wouldve never expect Nintendo to do that in the past, the fac they are possibly considering it is shocking, I dont know what to spect from them now.





*because NoE is pretty much clueless most of the time regarding NCL decisions.

I havent played GTA because I loath the theme of the game, I despise hip-hop, rap or anything that is remotely similar, specially the attitude of the people who compose this kind of music, but if its like Artimus says, I wouldnt like it even if it was different, open end games like Zelda let you do anything you want, but you still are given some kind of direction hey! listen! , roaming just for roaming is incredibly dull for me.
