Topic: Nintendo Direct: Planting the Seeds of Concern

[lolmonade]

Kart Babies: For a character roster that needs as much diversity as it can get, I'm pretty disappointed that at least four of the playable selection is made up of baby characters. Unless there are 30 characters in the game, using playable baby characters seems like a lazy way to fill the roster out. I want Mario Kart, not Yoshi's Island DS Kart.

Lies.  Kart Babies is the best thing that was announced yesterday.

By metroid 4 im talking about a mainline console metroid.  Not a handheld sequal.

I'm pretty sure what you actually meant was Metroid Prime 4. Metroid Fusion IS a mainline cannon Metroid, regardless of being handheld (same as Metroid II). It's important to note that the Metroid Prime series was always presented as its own mini-series, not part of the mainline.

I trade my wii u for a PS vita. Nothing in this direct is making me regret that.

Do you like the 3DS, eggface?

[Kurtis the Red]

This Nintendo Direct is at least causing some discussion to pop up over the internet, Props to Nintendo for being able to drop media bombs...pretty much any time they want.

[/size]I didn't think the Direct was that bad. True I wanted to hear things about X and perhaps something unannounced, but I can't really blame them for waiting till the time is right.  The main thing I got from this Direct is how much Nintendo is embracing their own online platform.


[/size]Correct me if I'm wrong but Chibi-Robo might be the first, original, exlusive, eshop only release on the Wii U. That in itself is good news.

LOVE my 3ds!

Adrock let me explain it so you can understand.  With the wii, was releasing just dance make you as a hardcore nintendo gamer happy? NO   Yet it sold like hotcakes and help make the wii successful.  Now, was there games that made you happy as a nintendo fan? YES mario galaxy, metroid prime 3, xenoblade, etc .

Wii had both

Is wii u incapable of doing that? No but this nintendo direct did nothing to prove that.

Just cuz u love nintendo doesnt mean u should be blind when they make bad decisions.  You have the right to expect the company you back with your money to make you excited for the investment you made

I am excited to try out the Chibi Robo game that this site reported on when it came out in Japan.  I had forgotten about it, but the Gamecube game was very charming and fun.  This new one looks to be smaller in scale, but still quirky and interesting.

The Hyrule Warriors game just made me sad.  It looks super generic and bland, like a student project, and I'm worried that the Zelda franchise is going to be as heavily milked as Mario.  When that happens, people no longer get excited for the next big game in the franchise, because it is lost in the sea of spinoffs.

Alright! HairyChest laying down the law with Adrock and finally setting that guy straight! I love it! HC seems to have the best ideas so far of what would make fans happy. Can't say I've seen anyone else come up with something better.

First, don't ask me a question then answer it for me. To answer that first question though: Yes. A game I may not want or play selling well on the platform I invested money in ultimately (yet indirectly) benefits me by making the platform stronger.

Regardless, I knew what you meant so there was really no need for that condescending tone. The point is that no matter what Nintendo does, many of you chuckleheads are still going to whine about something as if they never do anything right which, quite honestly, gets exhausting, especially on a Nintendo forum. If they announce A, it's still disappointing because they didn't also announce B. I'm not above or beyond criticizing Nintendo for things, but I like to give credit where credit is due. There's a reason I regularly give them money and signed up for a message board to talk about them.

I'm simply taking issue with the constant negativity around here. Every discussion goes right for the bottom with complaints, often without ever acknowledging any positives. Take Hyrule Warriors, for example. Not only do some people **** all over it, they **** all over the people who like those games. This isn't sour grapes as I'm not even one of those people. While I may not like particularly like the genre, I'm not about to denigrate people who do.

See, you made zero suggestions for how the Nintendo Direct could help Wii U be more successful. It just seems like you're complaining to complain. You point out problems, but don't offer any solutions. Sure, you're within your rights to do so, but so am I when pointing out how ridiculous you sound.

I don't agree with that and I have a major problem with you assuming that is an absolute fact with everyone on here. You don't see me complaining about stuff.

Yeah, Seriously.
