Topic: Everybody's Nintendo Channel

It's not very fair to have to label Mario Bros. Hard core because you play it when your in a casual mood but it really is a gamer game, I still voted hard core for all of the gamer gamers and casual was reserved only for the handfull of games I know people who don't game still play regularly. What I hated was the "Who enjoys this the most" crap, I mean it's MY system naturally I am going to enjoy the games the most , it should have had the option to include more players than just 1 per game. I mean my mom enjoys Sim City as much as I do, but it is more a hard core game because there is so much to do, but I had to vote myself because I play it more.

This is no different really than those little cards they used to put in side the games where you fill in your favorite genres and list the ages of all the players in the household, except those were likely better indicators than this is. They really should have worded some things a little better.

Nintendo is not trying to bridge the gap.  Nintendo is building a wall for the casual side to protect them when the Great Flood washes the hardcore away.  The hardcore will be gone, and therefore no gap.

Casual will be the new core.

So where will I stand (or float) after the flood.  I'm just a person who likes to play fun video games.

[LuigiHann]

I liked finding places to use "anyone - hardcore." Like Bomberman. Anyone can pick up and play Bomberman, but then it's serious business.

I like how Nintendo is doing nothing to bridge the "gap" and get rid of the "Casual vs. Hardcore" bull**** by encouraging us to arbitrarily separate games by those labels while voting on them.

Good jaaaoooooorrrrrb Big N!

Yeah, I noticed that when I was rating my games.

Way to add more fuel to the fire, Nintendo! :p

[NWR_pap64]

I just realized something...Nintendo did accomplish something with the channel...They got us to LOOK AT THE FOOTAGE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Maverick]

I love that we have moved passed the subtlety and class of the "Wii Would Like To Play" ads and have jumped straight into "Cowboy Jed".

[DAaaMan64]

I'm enjoying the Ninja Gaiden Demo as well as Jam Sessions. This is sweet!

[D_Average]

I wish we could somehow get a demo for Target Terror.

[WindyMan]

I love that we have moved passed the subtlety and class of the "Wii Would Like To Play" ads and have jumped straight into "Cowboy Jed".

what in GODS name is that

[NWR_insanolord]

I'll be deleting this channel to make room for Wii Ware games, but it won't be gone soon enough to stop it from costing me $20; the DS demo got me to buy Crosswords DS.

Are you referring to my joke about how ridiculous the Cowboy Jed commercial is or to Cowboy Jed itself?

[WindyMan]

Cowboy Jed. I guess I quoted the wrong person.

[Crimm]

Cowboy Jed.  NOA's MKW Campaign.

[Maverick]

Cowboy Jed. I guess I quoted the wrong person.

Ah, okay.  Just checkin'.

Thats really sad. The options in spanish make some sense and don't seem so "geek" language, because lets admit it, hardcore/casual are geek terms. In spanish translating literally is like "enthusiasts" or "for everyone", actually similar to NWR rating of VC games.

I can't remember the other category well, but it was something like "ocasional play" and "intense play" or something like that.

[Bizzy_Fatso]

I like being able to rate the games, but I can't seem to find the ratings anywhere...am I missing something?  Also, whenever I try to search for games based on categories like 'hardcore' or best for 1 player, I get no results.  Is this channel half-broken???

That makes a lot more sense.  Apparently Nintendo thinks America is too l33t.

No it's just brand new, so it will take time for them to process all of the votes. The introductory video said that.

[Bizzy_Fatso]

ah...guess I should have watched that 

[Deep-Six]

One question for those that have a somewhat weak broadband connection (512 K and the like). When you try to watch a video, does it constantly stop in order to refresh and load the rest of the footage?

While I love the channel so far I don't like how it keeps pausing, and I believe its because the internet connection is slow, and transmitting it through Wi-fi signals could weaken it even further.

That happened to me at first, now its not much of a problem for me and everything runs fine.

The Nintendo Channel has been updated with new videos the previous ones are there too.The DS demos however have changed if you didn't try Ninja Gaiden:DS well its gone. There seems to be a limited time they are available. The demos that are there now will stay there till the 18th except a few Nintendo titles. Gamestop has been added to the available retailers where you can purchase games.
Edit: changed to correct date of availability.Had the 19th.

[DAaaMan64]

Thanks Maxi you crazy bastard.

[vudu]

What are the new demos?  Someone needs to keep this thread updated with the latest info.

BTW, the Ninja Gaiden demo successfully unsold me on the game.  I can see why they wanted to take it down.

[BeautifulShy]

The New DS demos are as follows The Spiderwick Chronicles, Apollo Justice:Ace Attorney, Eco-creatures, My word coach and Iron man. Oh in my previous post I said that they will be available till the 19th I meant the 18th. Each Wiiware title has a video so you can get a impression and get some game play hints as well.Out of Third Party videos I say that Mushroom men and Starwars:TFU are the standouts. Oh remember that Boogie video that "Your the one that I want" its on there.

[BeautifulShy]

This weeks videos are musical celebritys promote DS games.Liv Tyler and Carrie Underwood promote Brain Age 2 and Nintendogs.There are videos for this weeks wiiware releases Critter roundup and Star Soldier R and a gameplay video of Myst. There are also videos for a game called wii fit. On to demos The demos that I said were gone last week make a return.So if you want to get your Jam on or become a ninja and slice through enemies go for it.
